元宵节的作文范文（汇编20篇）

元宵节是一年中最热闹的节日！

在去年元宵节，我一大早就起来穿了新衣。吃过早饭，我跑到了爷爷、奶奶家问候，然后跑回了家求妈妈、爸爸带我出去玩。我们走到了大街上，不远处传来了鞭炮的响声，“砰砰啪啪”热闹极了！

上午，我们买了菜回到了家，妈妈进了厨房三十分钟后，她把丰富的饭菜端在了饭桌上，看着那美味可口的饭菜，让我的大嘴流满了口水，差点儿把我的衣服给弄湿了。吃过午饭，我和婶婶、妹妹又跑出去玩了。大街上人山人海，我们好不容易钻过人缝，只看见有踩高跷的、架桥的、演孙悟空的、还有滑稽的小丑逗的人们捧腹大笑，整个大街变成了一片欢乐的海洋。

晚上，也是最热闹的时候，我们一家子来到了财政花园，看放烟花，天上出现了五光十色的烟花，真美丽。还有元宵节不可缺少的孔明灯，也是许愿灯。听说只要你放飞孔明灯许愿，愿望就会实现。

我爱元宵节，希望天天都是元宵节！

"汤圆汤圆送汤圆，香香的汤圆是圆又圆……"，这是一首过元宵时唱的《汤圆》。因为，大伙儿都说吃汤圆，梦也圆，所以，阿姨唱，叔叔唱，伯伯唱，大伙儿唱。

在放假的几天中，我最快乐的一天，要属元宵节了。那天，伯伯来我家吃饭，伯伯刚坐下就问我："凡琪，你放过烟花吗"我回答道："放过一两次。"伯伯接着说："那你还想放一次吗"我说道："当然想啦!可是妈妈偏说说放烟花有危险!不让我多放。"伯伯说："不用怕，我跟你妈说，她会同意的!"我高兴得蹦了"三千尺"，我大喊道："又可以放烟花了!又可以放烟花了!"我扭过头对伯伯说："还是伯伯最爱我!"伯伯对我笑了笑，又回头看他的报纸去了。

正月十五 到了，我和家人一起去看花灯。

街上可热闹了，人山人海的。七点十分到了，开始放烟花了，“砰……”的声音响起来，烟花有绿的、红的、黄的、紫的，五彩缤纷，绚丽多彩。看，一个“超大号”的烟花飞上了天，紧接着随着一声轰鸣，又绽放出了一个个小一号烟花布满了天空，有的像紫荆花、有的像菊花。有的乡市迎春花……又“砰!砰”的响了几声，有的烟花里面包着小蜜蜂，炸开以后，发射出萤火虫一样的光。五颜六色的彩花笼罩了整个利津县城。看黄金瀑布流淌下来了，每一根金丝落下来，闪闪的金花铺满了大地。正如唐代诗人李白所云：“飞流直下三千尺，疑是银河落九天。”

看完烟花，我们又去看花灯，我们看见了十二生肖，它们好像在向我们挥手，鼠、牛、虎、兔、龙、蛇、马……在向游人表示新春的祝福。再往前走，我们看见了迪士尼乐园，里面的米老鼠、唐老鸭等“主人”，它们演奏着各种乐器，真是歌舞升平，恭贺新岁啊!我们还看见了“三国演义”灯，有张飞、关羽、刘备三人，他们在桃园结拜兄弟，我仿佛听见了他们在说：“我们虽不能同年同日生，但愿我们同年同日死。”还有敲鼓的，打锣的，那声音的确美妙动听。

今天我过得真高兴。

时光悠悠，转瞬即逝，正月十五又在元宵的香甜中擦肩而过，匆匆忙忙地来赶赴这寓意着团圆的节日——元宵节。在如今的二十一世纪，这个历史悠久的传统佳节不但没有褪色，而且愈发的蓬荜生辉、愈发的灿烂辉煌。

相传汉武帝的时候，据称太一是当时相当显赫的一位神明，地位在五帝之上，并有恩于汉帝，所以受到的奉祀比较隆盛。相传另一位汉室皇帝汉文帝也和元宵节有关。勘平叛乱的日子正是正月十五，此后每逢正月十五夜晚汉文帝都要出宫游玩，与民同乐，并且确定这天为元宵节。汉室的另一位皇帝——汉明帝则敕令元宵燃灯，从而形成了后来的张灯、观灯的民风习俗。

正月十五这一天是要吃元宵的，“元宵”作为春节的食品，在我国也历时已久。宋代，民间流行着一种元宵节吃的新奇食品。这种食品，最早叫“浮元子”后称“元宵”，生意人还美其名曰“元宝”。元宵由糯米做成，或实心，或带馅儿。带馅儿元宵称"汤圆"以白糖、玫瑰、豆沙、肉馅、核桃仁、果仁等为馅，用糯米粉包成圆形，有时会在汤圆里包一个小钱，就算有好运到。可荤可素，风味独特。可煮、炸、蒸，有团圆、吉利、美满之意传统食物。元宵那圆圆滚滚的形象就是寓意着一家人能幸福美满，那馅儿也让人甜到了心里，不由得对未来的每一天都带着希望与信心。现在许多地方都流行吃汤圆，但以宁波汤圆和成都汤圆最为有名。

元宵节除了庆祝活动外，还有信仰性的活动。那就是走百病，走百病又称“散白病”和“烤百病”。参与者多为妇女，他们结伴而行，或走墙边，或过桥，目的是驱病除灾。

元宵，是我国传统文化宝库中的一块瑰宝，让无数外国友人感受到了中华民族的传统与魅力;元宵，是联结人们情感的一座桥梁，让常年出家在外的人感受到了亲情与友情的温暖;元宵，是闪耀在中国人心中的一颗耀眼的明珠，你让炎黄子孙，华夏儿女为古老而富有魅力的祖国感到骄傲与自豪!我爱我们的节日——元宵!

春节的欢闹悄然逝去，转眼间火红的元宵又即将来到。

我趴在光线淡暗的小书桌上，翻弄着那几张五颜六色被我叠得皱巴巴的却一道也答不上来的灯谜小纸条。

妈妈在乱七糟八的厨房里倒腾着，半透明的玻璃门关得严严实实。我知道，她在弄那糯米粉，做元宵。我走进了厨房，帮着妈妈忙碌起来。

右手抄起了一袋“老北京”汤圆粉，轻轻地撒了进去，像一盘细白的散沙悄无声息地扩散开来到米盆的角落。

撒进去后，再倒上清泉似的温开水，糯米粉随着温开水有节奏地调配得十分均匀。渐渐地糯米和水融为一体，我用手腕和手掌不断地按压着糯米团，/将碗里残留的糯米粘下来。一拉一扯，有弹性的糯米渐渐成为了一个大大的雪白糯米团。

从冰箱里取出赤红色细小的酥麻。酥麻中再放入红糖和白砂糖混合，成为香甜酥脆的酥麻馅儿。

再取出大拇指大的糯米团，在中间放呈小拇指大小的酥麻馅儿，再包裹起来不要露出一丁点儿来。慢慢搓成了一个甜美的小圆球。

放入煮锅里的汤圆冒着一个个晶莹剔透的小泡泡。升腾的热气像一层厚厚的白罩住了整个煮锅。一大股热气飘上空中渐渐形成一缕轻烟，慢慢消散。

煮好的元宵像一个个粉嘟嘟的小脸蛋冒着热气，品一品，外软内酥，香甜脆酥，仍有糯香……

白驹过隙，我们刚刚告别了收获满满的祝福开心和快乐的2022年春节，又迎来了今年第二个中国传统节日——元宵节。元宵节又称上元节，是新年的第一个月圆之日，在这一天里，人们吃元宵，放鞭炮，纷纷走出家门去看灯会，放烟花，欢乐极了。今天我就和你来分享元宵节的欢乐和精彩瞬间。 White foal has gone through the gap. We just bid farewell to the full blessing and happy Spring Festival 2022, and ushered in the second Chinese traditional festival this year -the Lantern Festival.The Lantern Festival, also known as the Yuan Festival, is the first month of the New Year. On this day, people eat the Lantern Festival, set off firecrackers, and walk out of the house to watch the lantern festival.Today I will share with you the joy and wonderful moment of the Lantern Festival.

今天是正月十五，上午的时候我和妈妈出去，大姨给了我一大包鞭炮，到了晚上家家户户都开始放鞭炮，整个小区的天空都变成百花盛开的花园了，我和妈妈吃完汤圆后，就在我不断地催促下匆匆忙忙地下楼来到楼下的空地上，无比兴奋地先点上一根香，然后拿出鞭炮准备开始放鞭炮。

首先我们要放的是一个名叫“笛音牡丹”的礼炮，一共24发，外表画的是五光十色，样子十分美丽，不知道放出来的怎么样，我有点迫不及待地点上去，随着“轰”的一声一颗光亮的火球拖着一缕长长的尾巴冲上了夜空，然后在空中“嘣”的一声炸开了，许多红和绿的小火花从里面奔涌而出，好像一群机灵的萤火虫提着自己的“小灯笼”在空中跳着欢乐的舞蹈，又好像天女散花来帮助我们点缀元宵节的夜空。

然后我又拿出5个小礼炮放在地上，一个一个点上去它们也不负我所望，好像相互比赛似的竞相绽放出灿烂绚丽的火树银花，为平淡的夜空增添了一丝光彩。然后我又拿出几个礼炮点燃它们，随后就听见了“嘭”的一声抬头一看一道亮光笔直升起，最后在空中“啪啪啪”地爆开了，看到它，我心里非常开心。

不经意间我一抬头看到一连串红色和绿色的烟花上升，直到空中，“嘭嘭嘭，嘭嘭嘭”伴随着一连串的响声绚烂夺目的烟花在空中随之绽放，在夜空中画出一幅优美的画卷，看着看着，我的眼睛就应接不暇了，我也完全背着个烟花吸引住了，我就想这是谁家的烟花?好漂亮啊，简直就像一群五彩缤纷的小星星在空中跳舞。我看得如痴如醉，这时妈妈把我叫过来，于是我就开始放我最后的鞭炮——电光炮。随后我就点燃它，把它高高举起来朝向天空，停了一会，从里面蹿出出一簇红色的火花直奔天空，然后在空中炸开……

鞭炮终于放完了，我和妈妈收拾收拾，随后，一边议论着今晚的烟花一边回到了家，开始享受我们的精神晚餐——元宵晚会。

就在今天我收获了许多开心，在元宵晚会的节目中我又收获了许多字谜知识。这不光是欢乐的元宵节也是难忘的元宵节。

眼看就要到元宵节了，姥姥又开始琢磨吃什么了，出了次元宵以外应该再吃点儿东西呀，姥姥对我说：“你给你爸爸打一个电话，说今天晚上要包大包子，买两斤羊肉来。”我马上对爸爸说了一声。 Seeing that it is about to reach the Lantern Festival, I start to figure out what to eat.You call your dad and say that you have to wrap a big bun tonight and buy two pounds of mutton. "I immediately said to my dad.

随着一声“叮咚”的门铃响声，爸爸回来了，他说：“今天晚上我们吃羊肉胡萝卜大包子和炸汤圆儿!”我对炸汤圆儿特别感兴趣，爸爸先把汤圆放在盘子里，拿了一根牙签，往上扎孔，我也照着爸爸的样子做，不一会，一大盘子的元宵就扎好了。我到爸爸身边看，爸爸正在切胡萝卜，没几分钟，一大袋子的胡萝卜就切完了，只见爸爸又开始弄馅，调好了一大盆的肉馅，

我看见下面有人放礼花，就下去看，真是太美了，礼花最初还没有打开“花苞”，最后长得越来越高然后绽放出了美丽的笑容，我心想：这不就是开花的快速过程吗?接着，又上去了两三个，有红的、绿的、蓝的、橙色的，数不胜数，晚上灯火通明，估计观看灯展的已经观者如堵了。

这时，我不小心咬到了自己的牙，哎呀，掉了掉了，终于掉了!这颗牙让我吃饭的时候特别难受，现在它可能也知道今天是元宵佳节，不拖累我，就掉下来了，呵呵，终于可以开开心心的吃饭了。

爸爸叫道：“吃饭了!吃饭了!”我急急忙忙的洗了洗手，吃上了大包子，真好吃呀!

这真是一个快乐的元宵节!

有一个节日是中华民族的传统节日——元宵节。记得前几年，幼儿园在元宵节的当天组织了一次亲子活动，活动的内容是猜灯谜。

那天早上，我与外婆，母亲一起出发，不一会儿，就到了幼儿园。进入幼儿园之后，我们眼前一呆：怎么会有这么多人？原来许多小朋友都带着家人早早的来参加猜灯谜元宵节的活动呢！我们三人迅速地进入人群中，马上加入了猜灯谜的行列。

抬头一望，一张张五颜六色的纸飘荡在空中，我看了看题目，眼花缭乱，有些都被聪明的人猜到了。许多的小朋友和家长们站在下面都在议论：这个灯谜的答案是什么？我盯住了一个灯谜，题目是影集，打一个世博歌曲，我绞尽脑汁想也想不起来。只好求助于我的母亲，母亲回答我说，是相聚在这里，我想：影集不就是许多的电影汇集在一起嘛？那么不就是相聚在这里吗？对，我马上去向老师汇报答案，没想到，居然猜对了，奖品是一颗糖，我心里美滋滋的。

晚上，我又和父亲一起在家门口看别人放烟花，美丽的烟火，有五彩缤纷的颜色：红色、绿色、蓝色……今天晚上的烟火真是让我大饱眼福啊！

那么元宵节有这么有趣的活动，它的来历又是什么呢？外婆说：正月是农历的圆月，古人称其为“宵”，而十五日又是一年中的第一个月圆之夜，所以称正月十五为元宵节。又称为小正月、元夕或灯节，是春节之后的第一个重要节日。中国幅员辽阔，历史悠久，所以关于元宵节的习俗在全国各地也不尽相同，其中吃元宵、赏花灯、舞龙、舞狮子等是元宵节几项重要民间习俗。

元宵节是我们中华民族的传统节日，我爱这个节日，它非常地有趣。

元宵节给新嫁女送灯，是旧日福建的习俗，各地送的灯品式样不尽相同，但目的一样：为了“添丁”。福州一带已嫁女未生男者，娘家多于正月初以观音送子灯送之，是谓送丁;嫁后已生男者，娘家可送各式的灯，谓“添丁仔”。闽南各地给新嫁女送的是一对白芙蓉灯，给嫁后已生男者则送一红一白的。灯内点有蜡烛，弄不好会把灯烧了。花灯失火，通常被视为喜事，叫“出丁”.白灯失火视为生男吉兆，红灯失火视为生女吉兆。那当然是人们一种愿望的表达。

闽南一些地方，比如漳浦等地，灯节中还有一叫“穿灯脚”的习俗，即在元宵夜里，村中新娶进门的新娘子和当年生男孩的小媳妇，必须穿红着绿，打扮一新，在婆婆或其他年岁大的老妇人陪同下，手拿吉祥物，口中说吉利语，从大祖词堂的灯棚下走过，一展风采。其所以这样做，目的在于向祖宗也向乡亲介绍新媳妇。至于已生男孩的小媳妇也过灯脚，在于告慰祖宗。

我喜欢元宵节，因为可以吃我爱吃的汤圆。

每次过元宵节，我们一家都会去外婆家吃汤圆。到外婆家时，外婆已经把香喷喷的汤圆摆在桌子上了。我迫不及待地奔向桌子，看到圆圆的汤圆，我急忙张开嘴大口大口地吃了起来。

吃完汤圆，我满意地打了一个响响的饱嗝。我们吃完汤圆后，来到大街上看花灯，那里如潮水一般，把我们快挤成肉饼了。花灯真好看，有小白兔、小公鸡、小鸭子等各种各样形状的花灯，好看极了。

这就是我喜欢的传统节日元宵节。

（林诗语）

欢乐的元宵节是我国的一个传统节日，元宵节一过，春节也就快过完了。所以这天是非常热闹。人们在这天的主要活动是看花灯、舞龙，更重要的就是看烟花了。 Happy Lantern Festival is a traditional holiday in my country. Once the Lantern Festival passes, the Spring Festival is almost over.So this day is very lively.The main activities of people on this day are watching lanterns and dragon dance, and more importantly, it is to see fireworks.

正月十五，我和妈妈一起回到我们的老家——垫江。到了垫江。我就和表妹到处去翻看外公都准备了哪些烟花。库房里烟花可真多呀!有“冲天炮”、“孔雀开屏”、“彩色喷泉”、“变色冰激凌”、“双喜炮”、“波彩明珠”，等等。不过，从名称来看，我还是对“双喜炮”更感兴趣。

吃过晚饭，天才刚刚擦黑，我就嚷嚷着要妈妈带我去坝子放烟花。妈妈说不过我，立刻就陪我去了。开始放烟花了，首先放的是“变色冰激凌”。只见，一束火花直冲上天，由红色变为绿色，绿色又变成黄色，黄色又变为蓝色，蓝色最后变为白色，形状真的像极了“冰激凌”。

紧接着只听“砰砰”两响，我喜欢的“双喜炮”也上天了。就像两颗子弹激射出去，还带着“嗖嗖”的声音，美妙极啦。再接着“孔雀开屏”，“彩色喷泉”、“彩波明珠”，真是让人目不暇接，烟花缭乱。

特别是哪个“冲天炮”飞出去的速度像火箭般快，直冲夜空。突然有一些像飞机的烟花四处乱窜，我和一些小伙伴们吓得抱头鼠窜，四处躲闪，生怕撞在身上把自己燃起来，场面好不热闹。

八点过后，大家的烟花都放完了，人群渐渐散去，我还沉浸在那场景中……

The 15-Day Celebration of Chinese New YearThe first day of the Lunar New Year is "the welcoming of the gods of the heavens and earth."Many people abstain from meat on the first day of the new year because it is believed that this will ensure long and happy lives for them.

On the second day, the Chinese pray to their ancestors as well as to all the gods. They are extra kind to dogs and feed them well as it is believed that the second day is the birthday of all dogs.The third and fourth days are for the sons-in-laws to pay respect to their parents-in-law.The fifth day is called Po Woo. On that day people stay home to welcome the God of Wealth. No one visits families and friends on the fifth day because it will bring both parties bad luck.On the sixth to the 10th day, the Chinese visit their relatives and friends freely. They also visit the temples to pray for good fortune and health.The seventh day of the New Year is the day for farmers to display their produce. These farmers make a drink from seven types of vegetables to celebrate the occasion.

After so much rich food, on the 13th day you should have simple rice congee and mustard greens (choi sum) to cleanse the system.The 14th day should be for preparations to celebrate the Lantern Festival which is to be held on the 15th night.

元宵节是我最喜欢的传统节日。这一天，吃元宵汤团，看花灯以及礼花，以及家里的亲人在一起，欢欢喜乐。出格是元宵节的黑夜，夜空中五彩的烟花在欢喜地舞蹈，何等沸腾啊！而玉轮姐姐悄然默默地站在他们旁边，精心肠欣赏烟花的舞姿。

元宵节的黑夜，日头方才沉落来，响彻云天的鞭炮声就从楼别传了进来。"开饭"妈妈开心肠一声令下，我小鸟一样地降临饭厅的饭桌旁，哇，好丰厚的晚餐呀。满桌的饭菜以及一阵子紧似一阵子的鞭炮声已让我愉快不已，吃过元宵晚饭后，妈妈以及父亲说要出去看元宵节烟花，放许愿灯（孔明灯）好开心喔，我都有点患上意忘形了。

降临了大街上，街上灯火通明，只见人们的脸上都春风患上意的，到处都洋溢着欢喜的笑声。天上时时绽放出五彩的烟花，飞来1个个许愿灯（孔明灯）这一朵那一簇的，出格标致，有红的、绿的、蓝的、粉的、金黄的……花团锦簇。我想，许多多少人都以及我的心情一样，像这夜空中的元宵节烟花，心花盛开。

咱们终于走到了广场。哇塞，这搭的人许多多少许多多少呀，兔灯，一盏，两盏，三盏，四盏……许多多少呀，我都快数不过来了。那只小灰兔灯最受接待，这个孩子摸摸它的头，那个孩子摸摸他的脑壳，最后再以及它合张影。

今天的玉轮出格亮出格圆。夜空中的孔明灯，这边有1个，哎，哎，那边还有1个，看着看着，原来有许多多少呀，愈来愈多。红灯笼一样的孔明灯在夜空中飞，越飞越高，越飞越远，越飞越小，直到恍惚患上看不见影。人们都有点冲动，拿脱telephone拍摄，只为留下她的靓影。

霹雳一声，礼花像一条蛇窜上靛蓝的天空，顿时在天上绽开，像1个大菊花，瞬间又消掉了。接着，礼花接二连三地升值班夜间守卫空，有的像彩色带子，有的像一朵花，有的像1个个的心，我又感觉那个像一只水晶鞋。元宵节之夜的天空成为了烟花的海洋，百花齐放，好标致啊！

欢喜的元宵节，美丽无比的烟花，给咱们带来了莫大的幸福，带来了生活的美好，也给咱们孩子留下了欢愉的童年。

今天是2月二十三日是一年一度的元宵节。晚上我和爸爸妈妈一起上街玩。

大街上车水马龙，到处张灯结彩。市中心周围四条宽阔的马路上灯火通明，使整个城市笼罩在灯的海洋里，到处洋溢着节日的气氛。我们一家来到商之都门口，那里围着一群人，里三层外三层围的水泄不通。人群中还搭建了一个露天舞台，上面有8个小孩在吹气球看谁先吹炸。别看那些小孩十分瘦小，样子有些弱不禁风，但吹起气球来还是能露一手。在一旁的主持人手里拿着麦克风不停的呐喊加油，使全场的气氛推向高潮。

我们穿过熙熙攘攘的人群来到大厅内。大厅里的大牌子引起了我强烈的好奇心，凑上前一看原来是猜灯谜，猜到了就到总服务太兑现。我看了浑身都是精神，连忙拉着父母上二楼。到了二楼抬头看天花板，哇好多的灯笼，有些灯笼下面还挂着红色的纸条，那上面写的便是谜面。有的是打一个成语，有的则是一个字，有的则是一名球星的姓名，有的还是一本书名、一道菜名。形式各种各样，让人伤透脑筋。到了卖内衣的地方有一个谜面让我一看就知道谜底：水上健儿（打一成语）我猜的是如鱼得水，因为这则谜语曾在电视上播过。正当我兴奋的准备到总服务台报谜底时，爸爸的一句话让我犹豫不决：“肯定不对，‘如鱼得水’和‘水上健儿’有什么关系？”我想是啊，可我明明记得是对的呀，对，要相信自己。于是我满怀信心的来到总服务台，还没等我开口工作人员就说：“7：30已经过了，不在进行活动。”哎，真是后悔莫及呀！

一年一度的元宵佳节又到来了。今天上午，元宵节大型民间艺术展演活动在市体育馆隆重举行。我和爸爸、妈妈到的时候，那里已是人山人海，热闹非凡。

在锣鼓声，礼炮声中隆重的开幕式结束，接下来就是各社区和企事业单位组织的民间文体表演。表演内容为腰鼓、秧歌、舞狮、龙灯、高跷、杂技、大头娃娃、花棍、彩莲船、威风锣鼓等。最吸引我的要属龙灯了。龙灯队里面全是清一色的娘子军，她们穿着黄色的衣服，腰里扎着红丝带，一个个显得那么精神。两条巨龙随着锣鼓声，在龙珠的指挥下上下翻滚，配合默契。

下午，我和爸爸、妈妈又参加了社区的猜谜活动。这个时候，我才发现我的知识面还是太窄，我几乎一个也没猜出来，仅猜出的一个还是爸爸给我帮了点儿小忙。现场的人你来我往，好不热闹，猜出谜语的人都显得格外高兴，因为猜对的还有礼品赠送。爸爸、妈妈猜出得可真不少，我跟着也沾了点光。

晚上，吃过饺子和汤圆后，我和爸爸一起到步行街放烟花。一下楼，就看到天空中绽放的烟花，五彩缤纷，争妍斗丽。我和爸爸赶紧加快脚步，也许，别的小朋友还等着看我们的烟花呢。爸爸把准备好的烟花点燃了，烟花如彩球，似雪花，像流星雨这些美丽的烟花把黑夜照得如同白昼，彩色的火球飞腾着，连续不断，交映在天空，光彩夺目。哇，好美的夜晚。

今年的元宵节真快乐！

我的家乡在上杭县南阳镇，提起家乡的元宵节，那可真叫一绝，怎么个“绝”法，让我慢慢细说。

家乡的元宵节最有特色的就是花灯，花灯是长板凳上放两盆“茶花”，“茶花”里面放有点燃的蜡烛。长板凳之间用粗绳子绑着，连在一起有100多米长呢!长板凳凳腿由很多年青人来抬。这么多人抬着花灯绕着村子甚至镇上游走一圈，从远处看像一条火红的长龙，景象十分壮观。长龙经过哪家人的家门口，那户人家就会放鞭炮表示吉祥。方圆几百里的人都会赶来看花灯，街道上、小路旁、农舍前到处都挤满了人。真是人山人海，热闹非凡……。家乡的元宵节还有一绝——美食，美食是不可少的，我们的美食叫什么先保密，总之，很好吃很好吃!皮是用黄糯米做的，颜色是淡黄色，形状是椭圆形的，吃起来很柔软，但很有嚼劲;里面包了豆芽和鸡肉，还有的是包豆子和木耳，吃到嘴里好香，想到此我就要流口水了，好了，现在我可以告诉你美食的名字叫什么，它就叫——“米果”。

正月十五是元宵，过完元宵节，这年也就算过完了。所以每年的这天大街小巷都非常的热闹。

今天过元宵节虽然是个阴天，却丝毫也不影响人们的心情，鞭炮声不绝于耳，此起彼伏，到处洋溢着欢乐的气氛。

“快来吃汤圆啦！”从厨房里传来妈妈的叫声。汤圆寓意团团圆圆，“快点！快点！”谁也不敢怠慢，人手一碗，大家立即吃了起来。妈妈一本正经地说：“吃了我做的汤圆，保证你们一帆风顺，万事如意。”

吃完汤圆，爸爸带我和弟弟去看花灯。龠山园里火树银花，人山人海，人人都沉浸在节日的欢乐中。许多小朋友牵着兔子灯走，那轮子摩擦着地面，发出一阵阵沙沙声，与人们的欢笑声相伴，更增添了节日的气氛。

“咦，那边的鱼会喷水。”我惊奇地叫道。这条鱼可漂亮了，全身五彩缤纷，尾巴还会动。我和弟弟飞快地冲了过去，弟弟被喷了一身水。他却并不懊恼，反而兴高采烈地高呼：“我中头彩了！我中头彩了！”

元宵节，真是一个令人欢欣的节日。直到晚上九点，我们才恋恋不舍地离开了外面热闹的人群回到了家里。

正月十五元宵节，听爸爸妈妈说这是个中国民间传统风俗的节日，这个节日主要是观花灯、猜灯谜、吃汤圆，象征着团团圆圆！听起来好有趣。碰巧萧山小记者活动在举行一个亲子活动——-自己动手做灯笼，可以DIY自己想要的图案；知道后好激动，特别想去试试，结果妈妈告诉我，没报上名，瞬间有点小小的失落，还好后来有小朋友请假，我又有机会可以参加了，真是喜出望外啊。

中午跟爸爸妈妈来到举办地——-湘湖下孙文化村祠堂，子弹哥哥和其他老师已经早早到了那里等候，我签到后领了猜灯谜的游戏关卡、笔、衣服等。游戏规则是猜对10个谜底后才能领到做灯笼的材料；我们先来到了祠堂内，里面柱子上挂了大概30个谜语，谜语条都是系在小灯笼底下，围一圈有序的排着，看着好精致。接着我们就猜灯谜了，我记得有这么一个谜题：石头太顽皮（打一字），经妈妈的引导，我竟然猜出来了，是“破”字；还有一这么一题：“说竹不是竹，营养价值高；外面像茶籽，里面像蒜瓣（打一水果），”我又一喜，这不是我吃过的山竹么，我又猜对了，就这样我们连续猜对了10题，然后拿题卡去领做灯笼的材料。

接下来就是自己动手做灯笼的环节了，这是我最期待的环节，因为是第一次，妈妈也没做过，看着妈妈拿支架比划着，不知道怎么下手，后来看了指导说明书，用支架卡着两个小孔就可以撑起灯笼的外壳了，我们把外壳固定好后就选择做灯笼的图案了，我选择做的是小白兔，因为我觉得温柔漂亮的小白兔是最可爱的。我用剪刀剪出小白兔的两只耳朵、眼睛、嘴巴、胡须。开始总是剪不好，不是小了就是大了，后来多剪几次就剪好了；第二步骤就是把它们贴在相应的位置上，其他的都好贴，就是小白兔的耳朵最难贴，老是贴不稳，妈妈歪着脑袋问，这可怎么办呢宝贝？后来想了个办法，用两颗小星星贴在小白兔的耳根上，即固定住了又好看，这样可爱的小耳朵就稳稳的竖起来了，这样总算大概完成了，差一根提灯笼的杆子就大功告成了。看，这是我自制的小白！

又一个特殊的节日来临了，那就是一年一度的元宵节。元宵节可是我最喜欢的节日之一呀！元宵节那天要吃汤圆，因为元宵就是汤圆的意思；不仅要吃汤圆，还要舞龙灯。今天，我期盼着看一场龙腾元宵。

我首先吃掉了元宵——汤圆，汤圆中那甜甜的芝麻让我闻了就想立刻抢完，还有一种小汤圆，它什么馅也没有，但是我还是觉得很好吃，我一口能吞好十几个呢！

我还在耐心得等待龙灯的动静时，突然一声震天响的“叮咚呛，叮咚呛……”的锣鼓声传进我的耳朵里，我以迅雷不及掩耳之势地穿好鞋子、袜子。现在万事俱备，只欠爸爸了。我心急如焚地说：“爸爸！爸爸！快点，不然龙灯就要‘飞’走了！”我和爸爸用飞一般赶到了龙出没的地方，顿时吃了一惊，首先映入眼帘的是一条满身披甲的金龙，真是太好看了，正在我看得入迷时，有一条龙从一旁窜了出来，它是一条小巧玲珑的蓝龙。大有跟前面的龙一较高下之势。这下可热闹了，两条龙并不像我们所期待的一决雌雄，而是给观众们上演了一出双龙戏珠的好戏，围观的人群爆发出一阵阵热烈的掌声，而且鼓掌声一波未平，一波又起。正当观众们看得陶醉时，有一条红龙气势磅礴地冲了上来，让观众们吓了一跳。这条龙看上去比刚才的那几条都威猛多了，从鼻子里喷出的火焰直冲向云霄，五光十色的火光，让观众们的鼓掌声一波比一波更响……

元宵节让我们边看龙灯边回味着那丰盛的晚餐，我期待着下一个元宵节有更精彩的龙灯看和有更丰盛的晚餐吃。我期盼着下一个元宵节的到来！

终于盼到了元宵节啦！我们又可以行通济啦！

今天下午，学校组织我们五年级去行通济，同学们兴高采烈地排着队出了校门，向通济桥进发。

一路上，同学们有说有笑，大家叽叽喳喳地讨论着通济桥到底有多热闹。看！马路上挂满了红彤彤的条幅，行人道上站满了许多来行通济的队伍。有格力的、苏宁的、美团的……他们手上举着各种风车，还举着各式各样五颜六色的广告牌子。看！还有外地的旅行者呢！

大约十五分钟后，我们走到了通济桥前。一个巨大的牌坊映入眼帘，上面挂着大约有几百个灯笼，灯笼前还挂着一串又一串的大风车。牌坊整个呈红色，再配上南瓜般大，火焰般红的灯笼和五颜六色的风车，到处都洋溢着一股喜气、祥和、热闹的气氛。

走上通济桥，放眼望去，到处都是人，人流络绎不绝。兜售风车的摊位密密麻麻排列在大街与通济桥的两旁，俨然成了人与风车的海洋。

风车、生菜是行通济的吉祥物。人们一手拿着风车，一手提着生菜，随着人流挤过通济桥，来到桥西头的生菜池，把生菜使劲地往生菜池里扔。他们都希望把生菜扔到生菜池中那颗巨大理石生菜的最高处，把好运带回家。我们在那里呐喊助威，大家都融进了这欢乐的笑声中。

时间过得很快，该回学校了。我们怀着依依不舍的心情，告别通济桥，明年再来吧！

The 15th day of the 1st lunar month is the Chinese Lantern Festival.

正月15是中国的元宵节。

According to the Chinese tradition, at the very beginning of a new year, when there is a bright full moon hanging in the sky, there should be thousands of colorful lanterns hung out.

根据中国的传统，新年伊始，当空中出现一轮明亮的圆月时，成千的彩灯就会被悬挂出来。

During the Lantern Festival, people will try to solve the puzzles on the lanterns and eat yuanxiao (glutinous rice ball).

在元宵节期间，人们会试着猜灯谜，吃汤圆。

In the Sui Dynasty in the sixth century, Emperor Yangdi invited envoys from other countries to China to see the colorful lighted lanterns and enjoy the gala performances.

在六世纪的隋朝,当时的隋炀帝邀请他国的外交使节来中国欣赏彩灯，观看节目。

By the beginning of the Tang Dynasty in the seventh century, the lantern displays would last three days. The emperor also lifted the curfew, allowing the people to enjoy the festive lanterns day and night.

在七世纪的唐初，彩灯的展示会一直延续3天。当时的帝王还颁布了宵禁令，允许人们昼夜地庆祝节日。

In the Song Dynasty, the festival was celebrated for five days and the activities began to spread to many of the big cities in China.

到了宋代，人们会用5天的时间来庆祝元宵节，该节日也开始蔓延到许多中国的大城市。

Today, the displaying of lanterns is still a big event on the 15th day of the first lunar month throughout China.

今天，正月15挂花灯在整个华夏大地仍就是一项很隆重盛大的活动。

The fillings inside the dumplings or Yuansiao are either sweet or salty. Sweet fillings are made of sugar, Walnuts, sesame, osmanthus flowers, rose petals, or jujube paste etc. A single ingredient or any combination can be used as the filling . The salty variety is filled with minced meat, vegetables etc.

汤圆的馅有甜，也有咸。甜馅可以由糖，胡桃，芝麻，桂花，玫瑰花瓣，或者枣泥做成。一个成分或者任意几种成分的组合都可以用来做汤圆的馅。咸馅则可以由碎肉末，蔬菜等做成。

There are many different beliefs about the origin of the Lantern Festival.

But one thing for sure is that it had something to do with celebrating and

cultivating positive relationship between people, families, nature and the

higher beings they believed were responsible for bringing/returning the light

each year.

One legend tells us that it was a time to worship Taiyi, the God of Heaven

in ancient times. The belief was that the God of Heaven controlled the destiny

of the human world. He had sixteen dragons at his beck and call and he decided

when to inflict drought, storms, famine or pestilence upon human beings.

Beginning with Qinshihuang, the first emperor to unite the country, all the

emperors ordered splendid ceremonies each year. The emperor would ask Taiyi to

bring favorable weather and good health to him and his people. Emperor Wudi of

the Han Dynasty directed special attention to this event. In 104 BC, he

proclaimed it as one of the most important celebrations and the ceremony would

last throughout the night. They clean it all up in the morning.

Another legend associates the Lantern Festival with Taoism. Tianguan is the

Taoist god responsible for good fortune. His birthday falls on the 15th day of

the first lunar month. It is said that Tianguan likes all types of

entertainment, so followers prepare various kinds of activities during which

they pray for good fortune.

Yet another common legend dealing with the origins of the Lantern Festival

speaks of a beautiful bird that flew down to earth from heaven, which was hunted

and killed by some villagers. This angered the Jade Emperor in Heaven because

the bird was his favorite one. Therefore, he planned a storm of fire to destroy

the village on the 15th lunar day. The Jade Emperors daughter heard of this

plan, and warned the villagers of her father’s plan to destroy their village.

The village was in turmoil because nobody knew how should they escape their

imminent destruction.

However, a wise man from another village suggested that every family should

hang red lanterns around their houses, set up bonfires on the streets, and

explode firecrackers on the 14th, 15th, and 16th lunar days. This would give the

village the appearance of being on fire to the Jade Emperor. On the 15th lunar

day, troops sent down from heaven whose mission was to destroy the village saw

that the village was already ablaze, and returned to heaven to report to the

Jade Emperor. Satisfied, the Jade Emperor decided not to burn down the village.

From that day on, people celebrate the anniversary on the 15th lunar day every

year by carrying red lanterns on the streets and exploding firecrackers and

fireworks.

There are many stories on how this festival was created. One other story is

about a maid. In the Han Dynasty, Mr. Eastern was a favorite advisor of the

emperor. One winter day, he went to the garden and heard a little girl crying

and getting ready to jump into a well to commit suicide. Mr. Eastern stopped her

and asked why. She said she was a maid in the emperors palace and her name was

Yuan-Xiao.

She never had the chance to meet her family after she started worked at the

palace. She missed them so much every 12th lunar month. If she couldnt have the

chance to show her filial piety in this life, she would rather die. Mr. Eastern

promised her to find a way so she could reunion with her family. Mr. Eastern

left the palace and set up a fortune-telling stall on the street and disguised

himself as a fortuneteller. Because of his reputation, many people asked for

their fortunes.

But every one got the same prediction - a severe fire accident on the 15th

lunar day. The rumor spread quickly. Everyone was worried about the future and

asked Mr. Eastern for help. Mr. Eastern said, "On the 13th lunar day, the God of

Fire will send a fairy lady in red to burn down the city. If you see a lady in

red wearing green pants riding a black horse on that day, you should ask for her

mercy." On that day, Yuan-Xiao pretended to be the red fairy lady. When people

asked for her help, she said, "Im the messenger of the God of Fire and came to

check on the city and Im going to set up fire on 15th. This is an order from

Jade Emperor. He will watch from the heavens.

I will give you a copy of the imperial decree from the God of Fire. You

should go to ask your emperor to find a way out." After she left, people went to

the palace to show the emperor the decree which reads "The capital city is in

trouble. Fire burns on the palace, and fire from Heaven burns all night long on

the 15th." The emperor of Han Dynasty was very shocked. He called and asked Mr.

Eastern for advice. After pondering for a while, Mr. Eastern said, "I heard that

the God of Fire likes to eat Tang-Yuan (Sweet dumpling). Does Yuan-Xiao often

cook Tang-Yuan for you? On the 15th lunar day, let Yuan-Xiao make Tang-Yuan.

Your Majesty will take charge of the worshipping ceremony and you will give

an order to every house to prepare Tang-Yuan to worship the God of Fire at the

same time. Also, deliver another order to ask every house in the city to hang

red lantern and explode fire crackers. Lastly, everyone in the palace and people

outside the city should carry their lanterns on the street to watch the lantern

decoration and fireworks. If everything goes this way, the Jade Emperor would be

deceived.

Then everyone can avoid the fire accident." The emperor happily followed

the plan. Lanterns were everywhere in the capital city on the night of the 15th

lunar day. People were walking on the street. Fire crackers kept making lots of

noise. It looked like the entire city was on fire. Yuan-Xiaos parents went into

the palace to watch the lantern decorations, and Yuan-Xiao made a big lantern

and wrote her name on the lantern. They happily reunited together after her

parents called her name. Everybody was safe during the night. The emperor of Han

Dynasty had a new order that people should do the same thing every year. Since

Yuan-Xiao cooked the best Tan-Yuan, people called the day Yuan-Xiao

Festival.

Young people were chaperoned in the streets in hopes of finding love.

Matchmakers acted busily in hopes of pairing couples. The brightest lanterns

were symbolic of good luck and hope. As time has passed, the festival no longer

has such implications.

Those who do not carry lanterns often enjoy watching informal lantern

parades. In addition to eating tangyuan (simplified Chinese: 汤圆; traditional

Chinese: 湯圓; pinyin: tāngyuán), another popular activity at this festival is

guessing lantern riddles (which became part of the festival during the Tang

Dynasty), which often contain messages of good fortune, family reunion, abundant

harvest, prosperity and love.

今天，我睡醒后，过了十分钟，我就起来了。刚起来，我就嚷着要捏花灯，妈妈说：“等吃完饭着。”说完，就开饭了，吃完饭，爸爸就上班了。

我们开始和起面来，一会儿，妹妹哭了。没办法，只好妈妈去看妹妹，我自己捏花灯。首先，我把面弄成一块捏成长方形，我想捏六个东西就把面分成了六份。我捏了一条鱼、一个天地灯、一条龙、两只兔子。因为我是属龙的，所以捏了一条龙。可是我捏得一点也不像，于是妈妈把我捏的东西团起来，让我去看孩子，妈妈捏。妈妈捏了一只兔子、两条龙、一条鱼、一只鸽子、一个天地灯。捏得都很像，活像真的一样。我们就放到锅里蒸，蒸完我就把小白兔吃了。剩下的我都很喜欢，就不舍得吃了，特别是鸽子和鱼。

下午，爸爸回来了，我们煮汤圆吃，为的是希望一年团团圆圆。可煮的时间长了些煮成玉米粥了，虽然吃着煮成玉米粥的汤圆，但心里还是美滋滋的。

晚上，我们出去看烟花，到处都五彩缤纷、五光十色，漂亮极了，我都看得入了迷。

今天我真高兴呀!
