在欢乐的元宵节中，树上、竹竿上，都挂着漂亮的花灯，远看彷彿是一朵朵美丽动人的花，每人手上提的造型花灯，在黑暗的晚上中，显得更加亮丽，而巨大的花灯，照亮了每个阴暗的角落。

路上车水马龙，每个人都洋溢着快乐的气氛，路边的吆喝声、叫卖声，让街道上变得更加热闹。在这寒冷的天气里，有人吃着一碗碗温热的汤圆、有人吃着一串串的花枝丸，听着一首首悦耳动听的歌曲，夜深了!可是人潮依旧沸腾，彷彿忘记了时间。

望着那一对一对的朋友及伴侣走在一起谈笑，便自问自答，我的好朋友呢!她在哪?是不是忘记时间，还是在路上遇到问题，我的心如热锅上的蚂蚁一样的着急，我跑遍了每个角落，就是找不到她，也没时间理会那漂亮的花灯。当我正要放弃时，才看见，前面不就是我的朋友吗?我飞快的跑到她面前，她递给我一杯温暖的热可可，让我感动不已，冰冷的手，也温暖了起来。

元宵节很想去看花灯，可是回家后发现爸妈的工作都没完成。

妈妈让我先写好作业，大部分作业在学校里就完成了，剩下的我一会儿就做好了。

可是爸妈还是没做完。为了等他们，我又看了一会儿书。

好不容易，爸妈的工作都做好了。妈妈说没来得及做饭，还是出去吃吧，等晚上回来在家里煮汤圆就是了。

可是我都饿了，去哪里吃饭呢?妈妈问我。后来我们又去了味千拉面。

虽然是团圆的日子，餐馆里的人也不少，点了餐还要等。我和妈妈先去旁边的书店转转。书店里没有人，我有点累，就坐在地上看了，妈妈说只要不到处爬就可以。

吃了饭，我们就往世纪广场走，但是很遗憾，那里没有花灯。爸爸说现在去豫园太晚了，我们只好往江边开，爸爸又开始在科技馆附近的路上辨不出方向了。我真有点儿累了，躺在妈妈的腿上，迷迷糊糊地睡着了。

过了好久好久，车停了，发动机的声音也没有了，妈妈叫我，我还以为到江边了呢，结果是已经回到家了。妈妈说，到江边的时候看我睡得那么好，不忍心叫醒我，就掉头开回来了。

连正大门口的灯都没有看到，我不高兴了好一阵子……后来大家吃了汤圆，节就这么过了。

希望明年的元宵节能去看花灯啊!

说舞龙精彩，还有根有意思的，这天人们都要走出户外，到处游玩，亲戚们一起去游玩，听他们说，又完了以后一年都不会生病，不过我想人们出去走一走，还是有一定道理的，春节间吃的好，喝的好，人们出去活动活动，锻炼身体当然不会生病。

闹元宵赏花灯是我们中国人的传统习惯。快乐的元宵节转眼就到了，大街上张灯结彩，一片喜气洋洋。

晚餐过后，我和爸爸、妈妈开开心心一起开车去顺峰山公园看花灯。我们来到顺峰山公园大门前，欢迎我们的是一座栩栩如生的“凤凰”。“凤凰”的两旁还有两朵花，两朵花里还有金色大字，左边的是万事胜意，另外一边是如意吉祥。“凤凰”还一时闪蓝光，一时闪红光，一时又变色，色彩缤纷，变幻无穷，充满节日喜庆气氛。我们开车进去，发现车多得可以摆一个迷宫都行了，想找一个车位停都有点困难。我看见顺峰山公园不但停车位是快停满了，就是公园里人数也多得惊人，人山人海。我发现游人中有的是我们学校的同学，有的是从千里迢迢赶过来的外地游客，还有的是附近的居民来到这里跳舞健身。大部分的人都是来看元宵花灯的，只有少部分是坚持锻炼的居民。

广场前面就是花灯展示区，五彩缤纷的花灯在夜色中闪耀着迷人的光彩。这次花灯不仅环保，而且五光十色，光彩夺目。我们发现今年的花灯响应了环保低碳，全部是用废物利用精心制作的。就拿“一帆风顺”来说吧，用了废报纸和旧绳子拼出一艘帆船，比喻今年顺顺利利，得到了人们的喜爱，所以得到了银奖。我最喜欢的花灯还是“蛇年平安”的花灯。它是一个苹果形状的网状灯笼，中间有一条蛇突出一个舌头，造型特别可爱。那个灯笼用的材料是竹子等环保材料，做得那么精美别致，创意无限。长大以后我一定要像做“蛇年平安”花灯的人一样，学会环保，用无限的想象力做一些环保的小制作，支持环境保护，做一个有道德有创意的文明人。

The chinese new year is now popularly known as the spring festival because it starts from the begining of spring (the first of the twenty-four terms in coodination with the changes of nature). its origin is too old to be traced.

Several explanations are hanging around.

All agree, however, that the word nian, which in modern chinese solely means year, wasoriginally the name of a monster beast that started to prey on people the night before the beginning of a new year.

One legend goes that the beast nian had a very big mouth that would swallow a great many people with one bite. People were very scared.

One day, an old man came to their rescue, offering to subdue nian.

To nian he said, i hear say that you are very capable, but can you swallow the other beasts of prey on earth instead of people who are by no means of your worthy opponents? so, it didswallow many of the beasts of prey on earth that also harrassed people and their domestic animals from time to time.

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.

The Festival of Lanterns takes place at the end of the Chinese New Year Celebration, on the fifteenth day of the first moon. Lanterns have been part of Chinese life for centuries so its not surprising to see a festival of lanterns.

People usually hang lanterns in the gardens, outside the houses, and on the boats. These lanterns are signposts to guide guests and spirits of ancestors to the Lunar celebration. After a sumptuous fifteen-day feast, these lanterns light the way for the spirits back to the world beyond.

Silk, paper and plastic lanterns vary in shape and size and are usually multi-colored. Some are in the shapes of butterflies, birds, flowers, and boats. Other are shaped like dragon, fruit and animal symbols of that year. The most popular type of lantern is the horse-racing one, in which figures or animals rotate around the vertical axis of the lantern.

The special food for the Lantern Festival is Yuen Sin or Tong Yuen. These are round dumplings made with sticky rice flour. They can be filled and served as a sweet snack or made plain and cooked in a soup with vegetables, meat and dried shrimp. The round shape of the dumpling is a symbol of wholeness, completeness and unity.

The Lantern Festival is an occasion for families to get together and for everyone--young, old, rich and poor to have fun.

It was the Lantern Festival, and my parents took me to the Confucius temple to see the Lantern Festival. Along the way, it was drizzling. One to the Confucius temple, the eyes are all lights, as if into the light of the sea. The lotus lantern on the left, the advertising lamp on the right, looks like two soaring dragons.

After that, my parents took me to the lantern market to buy lanterns. What a lot of lanterns! There are rabbit lights, pigeon lights, and dog lights... I looked back and forth several times. It was dazzling. I was dazzled, didnt know which to buy? Finally, I bought an antique candle lamp.

Then mom and dad took me to the pedal boat. Because of the festival, so many people, lined up a long team. We chose a goose boat, my father and mother pedaled, and I held the rudder. We had a happy Lantern Festival.

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.

During the Lantern Festival， people will try to solve the puzzles on the

lanterns and eat yuanxiao (glutinous rice ball)。

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.

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.

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.

Today，3the displaying of lanterns is still a big event on the 15th day of

the first lunar month throughout China.

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.

Today is the annual Lantern Festival. Speak of the Lantern Festival everybody will be talking about watching lanterns. The lanterns are really everything, there is the peacock lamp, bright red orange lamp, regimes, split, chang e...

The Lantern Festival this day, our family on the city square! Stroll, heart couldnt help thinking: this is to navigate in the sky, or in wonderland?

But only the lamp is too boring! For people, however, public plaza have many performances, are: the dragon dance, tai chi, and so on. Especially the dragon dance is the most good-looking.

今天是一年一度的元宵节。一说起元宵节大家一定会说起看花灯。这花灯可真是应有尽有，有孔雀灯、大红橘灯、走马灯、天女散花、嫦娥奔月......

元宵节这天，我们一家人在市民广场上!逛着，心里不由得想：这是在遨游天空，还是在梦游仙境?我真不敢相信这是元宵之夜的街市游逛。我在来来往往的人流中穿来挤去，来到最热闹的地方，我站在一个比较高的石台上放眼四望，看见了那典雅的孔雀灯，象征着吉庆的大红橘灯，镶有玻璃镜的走马灯，还有精巧的“天女散花”、“嫦娥奔月”、“武夷风光”......一切都在灯火中放射这绚丽光彩，真让人目不暇接，眼花缭乱。

可是只有灯火实在太单调了!不过，市民广场给人们准备了许多表演，有：舞龙、太极拳，等等。尤其是舞龙最好看。一个生机勃勃的龙头被老爷爷耍得活灵活现。有时候，老爷爷们还把龙头转了几圈。只见出来的是两条巨大的龙，一条是黄色的，另一条是蓝色的，非常漂亮。两条龙在空中吞云吐雾、上下翻腾，不时摆出一个个精彩的造型，引来观众一阵阵热烈的掌声。后来又出来一条金色的龙，它披着金色的外衣，在月亮地照耀下金光闪闪，显得十分壮观。

月亮渐渐西落我依依不舍地离开。但观灯的人还是络绎不绝，各种彩色的灯像天上的繁星一样，大放光彩。真是“一夜花灯醉，只缘春意浓。”
