人们常说：“百里不同风千里不同俗。”各个地方都有各自的民风习俗，而让我最难忘的是今年的元宵节!

元宵节是我国传统佳节，也是过年的最后一天，我非常高兴，每到这一天，人们都会以吃元宵、逛花市、赏花灯、猜灯谜、舞龙舞狮来寄托元宵节的热闹及美好的祝福。而我们这里最热闹还是猜灯谜、赏花灯吧!

元宵节那一晚，我和同伴拿着纸灯，点上蜡烛，来到一个村子，那里人山人海，小孩子都拿了花灯，有走马灯、纸灯、纱灯那里有猜灯谜、赏花灯等。我们来到猜灯谜的小场子里，灯谜有多有难，大家都在思考着，猜的人也很多，挤得我上气不接下气。我看了看内容：湖中倒影水纵横(打一广东地名)、痴(打一字)、雨(打一字)、心无二用(打一成语)其中，“湖中倒影水纵横”有些人已经知道了谜底，他们争先恐后，“是潮州，是潮州”一位女子嘶哑喊着。“答案正确”，那位女子获得了礼品，兴高采烈领着礼品回家。

这个村子还有一条小木桥，木桥两边的竹竿上挂满了又大又红的灯笼，远远望去，像一条长龙在湖面上自由自在的游荡。

夜深了，赏花灯、猜灯谜的人们脸上洋溢着满足离开了，今年的元宵节，真令我难忘啊!

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.

元宵节是中国的传统节日之一，那么大家知道元宵节的由来吗?

早在2000多年前在西汉就存在了，元宵赏灯始于东汉明帝时期，明帝提倡佛教，听说佛教有正月十五日僧人观佛舍利，点灯敬佛的做法，就命令这一天夜晚在皇宫和寺庙里点灯敬佛，令士族庶民都挂灯。

以后这种佛教礼仪节日逐渐形成民间盛大的节日。该节日经历了由宫廷到民间、由中原地区到全国各地的发展过程。 在汉文帝时，已下令将正月十五命名为元宵节。

汉武帝时，“太一神”的祭祀活动定在正月十五。(太一：是主宰宇宙一切之神)。司马迁创建“太初历”时，就已将元宵节确定为重 元宵节美食——元宵。 元宵节又称为“上元节。

以上就是元宵节的由来。

There was a sea of people, and the lanterns were gathered together like a meeting. Its hilarious. The lantern dazzled me. The lamp has big, small, color is different, the shape is strange. The most interesting thing is the golden pig lamp. Let me introduce you!

The golden pig lamp was made of several pieces of wire, and the body was made of a few golden sponges. A few smiles on her face. Really cute! It looks like running. The pig tail of the golden pig had a note on it, which said: happy Lantern Festival.

After watching the eye-catching golden pig lamp, go to the green light!

Two hands came out from below, beside the woods and meadows. There is also an o line "stream", "brook" water is really "clear see low" ah. You can think of it as a mirror! There are two bamboo rafts in the "stream" of the word "stream". I think they must be looking at the scenery! How is it? Its beautiful!

今年的正月十五我过得真快乐呀!

正月十五是我们中国的传统节日——元宵节，这一天的习俗是赏花灯，吃汤圆。汤圆也叫元宵，接着妈妈就给我们讲了一个关于元宵节的美丽传说。

相传汉武帝跟前有一个很聪明的大臣叫东方朔，有一天，东方朔在宫里听到一个宫女在伤心的哭泣，东方朔就问她为什么哭的那么伤心，宫女告诉他自己名字叫元宵，进宫好多年了，非常想念自己的父母，很想见见自己的父母。东方朔想了想说：别担心，我来想办法让你们团聚。

第二天东方朔就扮成了一个算命先生，对每个来算命的说：正月十五那天你会被大火烧死。人们对此深信不疑，就纷纷求东方朔救救他们。东方朔告诉他们正月十五那天火神会穿着红衣服，叫人们去找火神帮忙就可以了，回到家，东方朔就让让丫环穿着红衣服骑着毛上街，人们就围上去求救，红衣女子就拿出准备好的书信叫他们转交给皇帝，让皇帝照办就可以逃过一劫，汉武帝为了老百姓的安危就照着上面的要求去做了。

正月十五那天街上处处张灯结彩，挂满灯笼，黄宫里的人到街上赏灯，和外面的老百姓混在一起，结果真的安然无恙。当然元宵也乘此机会溜回家和父母团聚了，后来人们就把正月十五这天叫做元宵节，意思着团圆吉祥的意思。

国庆节是法定节日，全世界的国庆节都会举国同欢。下面是小编为您带来的是国庆节的由来英语作文相关内容，希望对您有所帮助。

The phrase "National Day", which originally referred to the matter of national festival, can be traced back to the West Jin at the earliest stage。 Western Jin Dynasty writer Lu in the "five other lords of" A text once the "National independence Xiang their profits, their main worry Mo harm," the record, Chinas feudal era, the national celebration of the event, too great emperor ascended the throne, the birth of (the birthday of the Qing Long live the emperor said section) and so on。 Therefore, in ancient China, the emperor ascended the throne and his birthday was called "National Day"". Today, the national day of commemoration is the national day. In September 1949, the first session of the CPPCC National Committee decided to October 1st as national day. The announcement of the founding of the Peoples Republic of China in October 1, 1949 was one of the greatest changes in Chinese history. At 3 p.m. on October 1, 1949, 300 thousand people in Beijing held a grand ceremony at Tiananmen square to celebrate the founding of the Central Peoples Government of Peoples Republic of China. President Mao Zedong solemnly declared the establishment of the Central Peoples Government of Peoples Republic of China and raised the first Five Starred Red Flag personally. Chairman Mao read out the announcement of the Central Peoples Government of the Peoples Republic of China: "the Central Peoples Government of the Peoples Republic of China is the representative."

The only legitimate government of the people of Peoples Republic of China. Any foreign government willing to abide by the principles of equality, mutual benefit and mutual respect for territorial sovereignty and so on, the government is willing to establish diplomatic relations with it." Then parade and mass parade. The commander in chief of Zhu De reviewed the land sea air force and announced the order of the headquarters of the Chinese peoples Liberation Army, and ordered the Chinese peoples Liberation Army to quickly wipe out all the remnants of the Kuomintang and liberate all the liberated territories.

Every year for National Day, each country holds celebrations in all forms, which can help to improve their own peoples patriotism and increase the cohesiveness of the nation。 Countries should also congratulate each other. Every five, every ten national day, and some have to expand the celebration. In order to celebrate the national day, governments usually hold a National Day reception, which is presided over by heads of state, government heads or ministers of foreign affairs, and invites local envoys and other important foreign guests to attend.

“国庆”一词，本指国家喜庆之事，最早见于西晋。西晋的文学家陆机在《五等诸侯论》一文中就曾有“国庆独飨其利，主忧莫与其害”的记载、我国封建时代、国家喜庆的大事，莫大过于帝王的登基、诞辰（清朝称皇帝的生日为万岁节）等。因而我国古代把皇帝即位、诞辰称为“国庆”。今天称国家建立的纪念日为国庆节。1949年9月的政协第一届一次会议上决定把10月1日定为国庆节。在1949年10月1日宣告中华人民共和国成立，这是中国历史上一个最伟大的转变。1949年10月1日下午3时，北京30万人在天安门广场隆重举行典礼，庆祝中华人民共和国中央人民政府成立。毛爷爷主席庄严地宣告中华人民共和国、中央人民政府成立，并亲自升起了第一面五星红旗。毛主席宣读了《中华人民共和国中央人民政府公告》：“中华人民共和国中央人民政府为代表

中华人民共和国全国人民唯一合法政府。凡愿遵守平等、互利及互相尊重领土主权等项原则的任何外国政府，本政府均愿与之建立外交关系。”随即举行阅兵式和群众游行。朱德总司令检阅了海陆空军，并宣布《中国人民解放军总部命令》，命令中国人民解放军迅速肃清敌对党一切残余武装，解放一切尚未解放的国土。

每年国庆，各国都要举行不同形式的庆祝活动，以加强本国人民的爱国意识，增强国家的凝聚力。各国之间也都要相互表示祝贺。逢五逢十的国庆，有的还要扩大庆祝。为庆祝国庆，各国政府通常要举行一次国庆招待会，由国家元首、政府首脑或外交部长出面主持，邀请驻在当地的各国使节和其他重要外宾参加。

一、元宵节的介绍

每年农历的正月十五日，春节刚过，迎来的就是中国的传统节日--元宵节。

正月是农历的元月，古人称夜为“宵”，所以称正月十五为元宵节。正月十五日是一年中第一个月圆之夜，也是一元复始，大地回春的夜晚，象征著春天的到来，人们吃元宵、赏灯、猜灯谜，对此加以庆祝，也是庆贺新春的延续。元宵节又称为“上元节”、“灯节”。

二、元宵节的历史由来

元宵节是中国的传统节日，早在2000多年前的西汉就有了，元宵赏灯始于东汉明帝时期，明帝提倡佛教，听说佛教有正月十五日僧人观佛舍利，点灯敬佛的做法，就命令这一天夜晚在皇宫和寺庙里点灯敬佛，令士族庶民都挂灯。以后这种佛教礼仪节日逐渐形成民间盛大的节日。该节经历了由宫廷到民间，由中原到全国的发展过程。

在汉文帝时，已下令将正月十五定为元宵节。汉武帝时，“太一神”的祭祀活动定在正月十五。(太一：主宰宇宙一切之神)。司马迁创建“太初历”时，就已将元宵节确定为重大节日。

另有一说是元宵燃灯的习俗起源于道教的“三元说”;正月十五日为上元节，七月十五日为中元节，十月十五日为下元节。主管上、中、下三元的分别为天、地、人三官，天官喜乐，故上元节要燃灯。

元宵节的节期与节俗活动，是随历史的发展而延长、扩展的。就节期长短而言，汉代才一天，到唐代已为三天，宋代则长达五天，明代更是自初八点灯，一直到正月十七的夜里才落灯，整整十天。与春节相接，白昼为市，热闹非凡，夜间燃灯，蔚为壮观。特别是那精巧、多彩的灯火，更使其成为春节期间娱乐活动的高潮。至清代，又增加了舞龙、舞狮、跑旱船、踩高跷、扭秧歌等“百戏”内容，只是节期缩短为四到五天。

三、元宵节的习俗

1、吃元宵

正月十五吃元宵，“元宵”作为食品，在我国也由来已久。宋代，民间即流行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”。元宵即"汤圆"以白糖、玫瑰、芝麻、豆沙、黄桂、核桃仁、果仁、枣泥等为馅，用糯米粉包成圆形，可荤可素，风味各异。可汤煮、油炸、蒸食，有团圆美满之意。

2、 观灯

汉明帝永平年间(公元58--75)，因明帝提倡佛法,适逢蔡愔从印度求得佛法归来，称印度摩喝陀国每逢正月十五，僧众云集瞻仰佛舍利，是参佛的吉日良辰。汉明帝为了弘扬佛法，下令正月十五夜在宫中和寺院"燃灯表佛"。此后，元宵放灯的习俗就由原来只在宫廷中举行而流传到民间。即每到正月十五，无论士族还是庶民都要挂灯，城乡通宵灯火辉煌。

元宵放灯的习俗，在唐代发展成为盛况空前的灯市，当时的京城长安已是拥有百万人口的世界最大都市，社会富庶。在皇帝的亲自倡导下，元宵灯节办得越来越豪华。中唐以后，已发展成为全民性的狂欢节。唐玄宗(公元685-762)时的开元盛世，长安的灯市规模很大，燃灯五万盏，花灯花样繁多，皇帝命人做巨型的灯楼，广达20间，高150尺，金光璀璨，极为壮观。

宋代，元宵灯会无论在规模和灯饰的奇幻精美都胜过唐代，而且活动更为民间化，民族特色更强。以后历代的元宵灯会不断发展，灯节的时间也越来越长，。唐代的灯会是"上元前后各一日"，宋代又在十六之后加了两日，明代则延长到由初八到十八整整十天。

到了清代，满族入主中原，宫廷不再办灯会，民间的灯会却仍然壮观。日期缩短为五天，一直延续到今天。

灯在台湾民间具有光明与添丁的涵义，点燃灯火有照亮前程之意，且台语灯与丁谐音代表生男孩，因此往昔元宵节妇女都会刻意在灯下游走，希望“钻灯脚生卵葩”(就是钻到灯下游走，好生男孩)。

3、中国的情人节

元宵节也是一个浪漫的节日，元宵灯会在封建的传统社会中，也给未婚男女相识提供了一个机会，传统社会的年轻女孩不允许出外自由活动，但是过节却可以结伴出来游玩，元宵节赏花灯正好是一个交谊的机会，未婚男女借着赏花灯也顺便可以为自己物色对象。元宵灯节期间，又是男女青年与情人相会的时机。

在台湾，还有未婚女性在元宵夜偷摘葱或菜将会嫁到好丈夫的传统习俗，俗称：“偷挽葱，嫁好尪”、“偷挽菜，嫁好婿”，希望婚姻美满的女孩，要在元宵之夜到菜园里偷摘葱或青菜，期待未来家庭幸福，唐代的灯市还出现乐舞百戏表演，成千上万的宫女，民间少女在灯火下载歌载舞，叫做行歌、踏歌。

欧阳修(生查子)云：去年元夜时，花市灯如书;月上柳梢头，人约黄昏后。辛弃疾(青玉案)写道：众里寻它千百度，暮然回首，那人却在灯火阑珊处。就是描述元宵夜的情境，而传统戏曲陈三和五娘是在元宵节赏花灯进相遇而一见钟情，乐昌公文与徐德言在元宵夜破镜重圆，《春灯谜》中宇文彦和影娘在元宵订情。所以说元宵节也是中国的“情人节”。

4、走百病

元宵节除了庆祝活动外，还有信仰性的活动。那就是"走百病"又称"烤百病""散百病"参与者多为妇女，他们结伴而行或走墙边，或过桥过走郊外，目的是驱病除灾。

随着时间的推移，元宵节的活动越来越多，不少地方节庆时增加了耍龙灯、耍狮子、踩高跷、划旱船扭秧歌、打太平鼓等活动。

5、逐鼠

这项活动主要是对养蚕人家所说的。因为老鼠常在夜里把蚕大片大片地吃掉，人们听说正月十五用米粥喂老鼠，它就可以不吃蚕了。于是，这些人家在正月十五熬上一大锅粘糊糊的粥，有的还在上面盖上一层肉，将粥用碗盛好，放到老鼠出没的顶棚、墙角、边放嘴里还边念念有词，诅咒老鼠再吃蚕宝宝就不得好死。

6、 迎紫姑

紫姑是民间传说中一个善良、贫穷的姑娘。正月十五，紫姑因穷困而死。百姓们同情她、怀念她、有些地方便出现了“正月十五迎紫姑”的风俗。每到这一天夜晚，人们用稻草、布头等扎成真人大小的紫姑肖像。妇女们纷纷站到紫姑常做活的厕所、猪圈和厨房旁边迎接她，象对待亲姐妹一样，拉着她的手，跟她说着贴心话，流着眼泪安慰她，情景十分生动，真实的反映了劳苦民众善良、忠厚、同情弱者的思想感情。

大家都知道，元宵节是中华民族的传统节日，在那天全国各地的人们都在看花灯吃元宵，我们家乡这也不例外!

元宵节这天到处张灯结彩，喜气洋洋。他别是舞龙、舞狮最热闹，龙是花布做的，有的用十个人舞，龙头前面有一颗珠子。这个珠子叫“龙珠”，龙舞起来时很好看，像真的的龙一样，观众不断叫好，有些观众去摸龙，他们说摸了龙能治百病，一年都不会生病，舞的人舞的满头大汗，观众拍手叫好。

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。

过元宵节这天还有个最吸引人的节目——看烟花，6点钟时广场已经来了很多人了，都在那里寻找好的位置，7：00了，到处人山人海，只听见“呯”的一声，礼花爆开，照亮了天空，接着又放了一个礼花，礼花爆开的时候是紫色的，非常好看，接着把礼花爆到水面上，礼花在水面……

I quickly made a wish. Over kongmin light high, like to play with the moon. Is really a happy Lantern Festival.

元宵节是中国的传统节日，早在两千多年前的西汉就有了，元宵赏灯始于东汉明帝时期。

明帝命令这一天夜晚在皇宫和寺庙点灯敬佛，令士族庶民都挂灯。所以现在有元宵燃灯的习俗。晚上我和爸爸妈妈爷爷奶奶一起吃了汤圆，甜甜的，真好吃。吃过晚饭后，我们出去玩。我看见圆圆的月亮挂在天空，家家户户都点亮了红红的灯笼，鞭炮声震耳欲聋，满天的焰火有的像天女散花，有的像菊花盛开一样，美丽极了。

我们来到江北 ，市民广场的人真多啊!满天飞舞着孔明灯。我们也买了个孔明灯。首先，我们把一块蜡绑在孔明灯底部，然后用火点燃，再用手拿住孔明灯的四个角，过了一会儿，灯里充满热气，渐渐地鼓起来，我们就慢慢地松开手，孔明灯缓缓地飞上天。

我赶紧许了一个愿。孔明灯越飞越高，好像要跟月亮去玩耍。真是一个快乐的元宵节。

元宵节是中国的传统节日，早在2000多年前的西汉就有了，元宵赏灯始于东汉明帝时期，明帝提倡佛教，听说佛教有正月十五日僧人观佛舍利，点灯敬佛的做法，就命令这一天夜晚在皇宫和寺庙里点灯敬佛，令士族庶民都挂灯。以后这种佛教礼仪节日逐渐形成民间盛大的节日。该节经历了由宫廷到民间，由中原到全国的发展过程。

在汉文帝时，已下令将正月十五定为元宵节。汉武帝时，“太一神”的祭祀活动定在正月十五。(太一：主宰宇宙一切之神)。司马迁创建“太初历”时，就已将元宵节确定为重大节日。

另有一说是元宵燃灯的习俗起源于道教的“三元说”;正月十五日为上元节，七月十五日为中元节，十月十五日为下元节。主管上、中、下三元的分别为天、地、人三官，天官喜乐，故上元节要燃灯。

元宵节的节期与节俗活动，是随历史的发展而延长、扩展的。就节期长短而言，汉代才一天，到唐代已为三天，宋代则长达五天，明代更是自初八点灯，一直到正月十七的夜里才落灯，整整十天。与春节相接，白昼为市，热闹非凡，夜间燃灯，蔚为壮观。特别是那精巧、多彩的灯火，更使其成为春节期间娱乐活动的高潮。至清代，又增加了舞龙、舞狮、跑旱船、踩高跷、扭秧歌等“百戏”内容，只是节期缩短为四到五天。

关于元宵节的来历，民间还有几种有趣的传说：

关于灯的传说

传说在很久以前，凶禽猛兽很多，四处伤害人和牲畜，人们就组织起来去打它们， 有一只神鸟困为迷路而降落人间，却意外的被不知情的猎人给射死了。天帝知道后十分震怒，立即传旨，下令让天兵于正月十五日到人间放火，把人间的人畜财产通通烧死。 天帝的女儿心地善良，不忍心看百姓无辜受难，就冒着生命的危险，偷偷驾着祥云来到人间，把这个消息告诉了人们。众人听说了这个消息，有如头上响了一个焦雷。吓得不知如何是好，过了好久，才有个老人家想出个法子，他说：「在正月十四、十五、十六日这三天，每户人家都在家里张灯结彩、点响爆竹、 燃放烟火。这样一来，天帝就会以为人们都被烧死了」。

大家听了都点头称 是，便分头准备去了。到了正月十五这天晚上，天帝往下一看，发觉人间一片红光，响声震天，连续三个夜晚都是如此，以为是大火燃烧的火焰，以中大快。人们就这样保住了自己的生命及财产。为了纪念这次成功，从此每到正月十五，家家户户都悬挂灯笼，放烟火来纪念这个日子。

汉文帝时为纪念“平吕”而设

另一个传说是元宵节是汉文帝时为纪念“平吕”而设。汉高祖刘邦死后，吕后之子刘盈登基为汉惠帝。惠帝生性懦弱，优柔寡断，大权渐渐落再吕后手中.汉惠帝病死后吕后独揽朝政把刘氏天下变成了吕氏天下，朝中老臣，刘氏宗室深感愤慨，但都惧怕吕后残暴而敢怒不敢言.

吕后病死后，诸吕惶惶不安害怕遭到伤害和排挤。于是，在上将军吕禄家中秘密集合，共谋作乱之事，以便彻底夺取刘氏江山。

此事传至刘氏宗室齐王刘囊耳中，刘囊为保刘氏江山，决定起兵讨伐诸吕随后与开国老臣周勃，陈平取得联系，设计解除了吕禄，“诸吕之乱”终于被彻底平定.

平乱之后，众臣拥立刘邦的第二个儿子刘恒登基，称汉文帝.文帝深感太平盛世来之不易，便把平息“诸吕之乱”的正月十五，定为与民同乐日，京城里家家张灯结彩，以示庆祝。从此，正月十五便成了一个普天同庆的民间节日——“闹元宵”。

东方朔与元宵姑娘

这一则传说与吃元宵的习俗有关：相传汉武帝有个宠臣名叫东方朔，他善良又风趣。有一天冬天，下了几天大雪 ，东方朔就到御花园去给武帝折梅花。刚进园门，就发现有个宫女泪流满面准备投井。东方朔慌忙上前搭救，并问明她要自杀的原因。原来，这个宫女名叫元宵，家里还有双亲及一个妹妹。自从她进宫以后，就再也无缘和家人见面。每年到了腊尽春来的时节，就比平常更加的思念家人。觉得不能在双亲跟前尽孝，不如一死了之。东方朔听了她的遭遇，深感同情，就向她保证，一定设法让她和家人团聚。

一天，东方朔出宫在长安街上摆了一个占卜摊。不少人都争着向他占卜求卦。不料，每个人所占所求，都是“正月十六火焚身”的签语。一时之间，长安里起了很大恐慌。人们纷纷求问解灾的办法。东方朔就说：“正月十三日傍晚，火神君会派一位赤衣神女下凡查访，她就是奉旨烧长安的使者，我把抄录的偈语给你们，可让当今天子想想办法。”说完，便扔下一张红帖，扬长而去。老百姓拿起红帖，赶紧送 到皇宫去禀报皇上。

汉武帝接过来一看，只见上面写着：“长安在劫，火焚帝阙，十五天火，焰红宵夜”，他心中大惊，连忙请来了足智多谋的东方朔。东方朔假意的想了一想，就说：“听说火神君最爱吃汤圆，宫中的元宵不是经常给你做汤圆吗?十五晚上可让元宵做好汤圆。万岁焚香上供，传令京都家家都做汤圆，一齐敬奉火神君。再传谕臣民一起在十五晚上挂灯，满城点鞭炮、放烟火，好像满城大火，这样就可以瞒过玉帝了。 此外，通知城外百姓，十五晚上进城观灯，杂在人群中消灾解难”。武帝听后，十分高兴，就传旨照东方朔的办法去做。

到了正月十五日长安城里张灯结彩，游人熙来攘往，热闹非常。宫女元宵的父母也带着妹妹进城观灯。当他们看到写有“元宵”字样的大宫灯时，惊喜的高喊：“元宵!元宵!”， 元宵听到喊声，终于和家里的亲人团聚了。

如此热闹了一夜，长安城果然平安无事。汉武帝大喜，便下令以后每到正月十五都做汤圆供火神君，正月十五照样全城挂灯放烟火。因为元宵做的汤圆最好，人们就把汤圆叫元宵，这天叫做元宵节。

On Friday, is we Chinese festival, the Lantern Festival.

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.

probably more food is consumed during the new year celebrations than any other time of the year. vast amounts of traditional food is prepared for family and friends, as well as those close to us who have died.

on new years day, the chinese family will eat a vegetarian dish called jai. although the various ingredients in jai are root vegetables or fibrous vegetables, many people attribute various superstitious aspects to them.

other foods include a whole fish, to represent togetherness and abundance, and a chicken for prosperity. the chicken must be presented with a head, tail and feet to symbolize completeness. noodles should be uncut, as they represent long life.

in south china, the favorite and most typical dishes were nian gao, sweet steamed glutinous rice(糯米)pudding and zong zi (glutinous rice wrapped up in reed(芦苇)leaves), another popular delicacy.

in the north, steamed-wheat bread (man tou) and small meat dumplings were the preferred food. the tremendous amount of food prepared at this time was meant to symbolize abundance and wealth for the household.

The Lantern Festival is held on the 15th day of the first month. On the

Lantern Festival, the Spring Festival is really over. On this day, people watch

lanterns, set off fireworks and eat yuanxiao or tangyuan. I like watching

lanterns and appreciating lanterns best on the Lantern Festival.

When I came to the street, I saw that the street lamps were full of

lanterns, 16 street lamps in a group, 8 on one side. We walked to the bridge,

and the lantern "door" was also set up on the bridge. There are four big

lanterns in the first row of the "door", which say "congratulations on the new

year"; 10 lanterns in Row 2; There are 16 in a row below; Until the penultimate

row, there are 10 more; There are also four in the last row, with four big

characters on it, which are "Happy New Year".

Look at the rest corridor of the small square in the center of the bridge.

There are 10 marble seats. There are 4 large lanterns above the marble seats,

and there are also 10 groups of large lanterns. On average, there are four large

lanterns on each small lattice and each marble seat, which are arc-shaped, and a

large lantern is hung on the side.

Well, lets go somewhere else!

Lantern Festival - on the Lantern

In the middle of the big square, I saw a big lantern, about 10 times that

of me. Nine small lanterns were hung on the big lantern. There is a unicorn in

the middle of the big lantern. The unicorn represents auspiciousness, and a

crane on both sides of the unicorn just guarded it. Next to the crane is a pair

of rabbits. The rabbit holds a gold ingot in his hand. On the side of the rabbit

is a pair of cranes. Behind the main body are some gifts, firecrackers,

couplets, Fu characters and so on. Actually, this is a float! Its theme is

"blessing from the jade rabbit".

Lantern Festival - under the Lantern

Dont just look at the center, we still have some rabbits playing happily

on the lawn!

There are a pair of rabbits in the center of the lawn. Grandpa rabbit is

wearing a pair of small glasses to "congratulate you", while grandma rabbit is

正月十五闹元宵，在元宵节这一天，春节就算是真正地过完了。在这一天，人们要观灯，放烟花，吃元宵或汤圆。我，最喜欢在元宵节看花灯，赏灯了。

来到大街上，只见大街路灯上都挂满了灯笼，16个路灯为一组，一边8个。我们走走走，走到桥上，桥上也支起了灯笼“门”。“门”的第一排有4个大灯笼，上面写着“恭贺新春”;第2排10个灯笼;下面就16个一排;直到倒数第2排，又是10个;最后排也是4个，上面也有4个大字，为“新春快乐”。

再看桥中心的小广场的休息长廊，一共有10个大理石座椅，大理石座椅上方有4个大灯笼，大灯笼也是10组。平均每个小格格，也是每个大理石座椅上都有4个大灯笼，呈弧形，最侧边还挂着一个大灯笼。

好了，让我们再去其它地方看看吧!

元宵·赏灯上

到了大广场中间，只见一个大灯笼，大概是我的10倍，大灯笼上边挂9个小灯笼。大灯笼中间有一头麒麟，麒麟代表祥瑞，而麒麟两侧刚分别有一只仙鹤守护。仙鹤旁边是一对小兔，小兔手中抱着一个金元宝，小兔侧边还是一对仙鹤。大主体后边则还有一些礼品，炮竹，对联福字等。其实，这是一辆花车!它的主题是“玉兔送福”。

元宵·赏灯下

别只顾看中心的，我们还有一些小兔在草坪上愉快地玩耍呢!

草坪中心有一对兔子，兔爷爷戴着一副小眼镜，向大家“恭喜恭喜”，而兔奶奶却提着一个果篮，可能在发给小兔们吧!瞧!兔奶奶旁边有两只小兔，一只小男兔一只小女兔，小女兔手拿一个苹果，哦，这是兔奶奶给她的吧!小男兔则一边笑，一边拿着灯笼想去看看元宵节到底怎样热闹呢!而兔爷爷身旁有三只小兔，两只小女兔，一只小男兔。看!兔奶奶也给了那小女兔苹果，她正开心地笑呢!另一只小女兔则坐在她最爱吃的大蘑菇上戴着大红蝴蝶结，笑嘻嘻地想说些什么。那只调皮的小男兔手拿一串鞭炮，也不怕把自己给炸喽!胆子真够大呀!

旁边还有一些小兔子我就不再一一介绍了，花灯多极了，下次有空我再带你们去亲眼看一看!

Lantern Festival is a traditional festival in China. This years Lantern

Festival, our school organized a unique "Happy Lantern Festival" activity!

Before the activity started, I came to the activity site of writing

couplets and waited. Look! The contestants smiled one by one. They all looked

confident. You and I exchanged the written content one by one. I calmly came to

the writing desk, took out the carefully prepared brush, drove light and

familiar to write seriously, and soon a few big words came out.

Then, I quickly joined the lively activity of wrapping dumplings. Kneading

noodles is the first and crucial step in making dumplings. Our group poured the

prepared flour into the basin, poured some water, kneaded a large dough with the

help of the students parents, and then distributed it equally to each member.

Everyone thought and thought. They added all kinds of juice to the dough. After

kneading, it became colorful and very beautiful. Just listen to "the dumpling

filling is coming..." everyone, you argue with me and start wrapping dumplings.

I first squeezed the dough in the palm of my hand and patted it into a cake

shape, then closed my palm slightly and added stuffing to it. At this time, I

accidentally threw sesame sugar all over the floor in a hurry. I regret it! It

took a lot of effort to make several dumplings. The students next to them are

not like this. They pinch the dough of appropriate size, gently flatten it and

add stuffing, then put their hands up, rub it, and gently knead it into small

and exquisite dumplings. It is a sharp contrast with my dumplings, which is

enviable.

When the glutinous rice balls are put into the pot, we wait nearby. Its

called a hurry. We cant wait to eat them directly from the pot! After a long

waiting period, the glutinous rice balls finally came out of the pot. With a

gentle bite, the soft skin immediately melted away in my mouth. The smell of

fruit juice and sesame came to my nostrils and turned into a wonderful force.

Once and again, it made me particularly satisfied and gave me endless

aftertaste.

At the end of the activity, the students gathered to take a group photo of

the class. Although I stood at the edge, I smiled brightly because I was

particularly happy today. This is this years Lantern Festival - a lively

Festival!

元宵节是我国传统节日，今年的元宵节，我们学校组织了一场别开生面的“欢乐闹元宵”活动!

活动还没开始，我便来到写对联的活动现场等待，瞧!选手们一个个面露笑容，都是一副胸有成竹的样子，你一句我一句交流着书写的内容。我不慌不忙地来到书写台前，拿出精心准备好的毛笔，驾轻熟路地认真书写起来，不一会儿端端正正的几个大字就出来了。

紧接着，我又快速加入到热闹非凡的包汤圆活动中。揉面是包汤圆的第一步，也非常关键的一步，我们小组把事先准备好的面粉倒入面盆里，倒入些水，在学生家长的帮助下，揉出了个大面团，而后等分的分配给每个成员。大家各思奇想，往面团里加了各色果汁，揉搓后成了五颜六色，十分好看。只听“汤圆馅来了……”，大家你争我抢地开始包汤圆。我先把面团捏在手掌心里，拍成饼状，再手掌微微合拢，往里面加馅，就在这时不小心手忙脚乱地把芝麻糖撒了一地，后悔极了!好不容易费了九牛二虎之力搓成了几个汤圆。旁边的同学可不这样，他们捏起大小合适的面团，轻轻压平后往里加馅，然后双手往上一顶，搓一搓，轻轻一揉就成一个个小巧玲珑的汤圆，和我的汤圆放在一起，简直就是鲜明的对比，令人好生羡慕。

当汤圆下锅时，我们在旁边等着，那叫一个急啊，恨不得直接从锅里捞上来就吃!在漫长的等待期后，汤圆终于出锅了，我轻轻一咬，柔嫩的外皮在嘴里立马化掉，果汁的味儿和芝麻的味儿扑鼻而来，化为一股奇妙的力量，一次一次让我格外满足，让我回味无穷。

活动结束时，同学们聚在一起拍班级合影，我虽然站在最边上的位置，但我笑得却很灿烂，因为我今天格外开心。这就是今年的元宵节——一个热闹的节日!

摘要：April Fools Day, sometimes called All Fools Day, is one of the most light-hearted days of the year. Some see it as a celebration related to the turn of the seasons, while others believe it stems from the adoption of a new calendar.愚人节的英语是April Fools’ Day，也叫做All Fools’ Day。有些人相信愚人节是为了庆祝季节变更，有些人则相信这是因为年历的变更才形成的节日。

April Fools Day is traditionally a day to play practical jokes on others, send people on fools errands, and fool the unsuspecting. No one knows how this holiday began but it was thought to have originated in France.

传统上来讲，愚人节这一天，人们可以相互搞恶作剧，骗人跑腿，欺骗不知情的人。没人知道这个节日是怎么来的，但人们普遍认为它源自法国。

The closest point in time that can be identified as the beginning of this tradition was in 1582, in France. New Years was celebrated on March 25 and celebrations lasted until April 1st. When New Years Day as changed from March 25 to January 1st in the mid-1560s by King Charles IX, there were some people who still celebrated it on April 1st and those people were called April Fools.

庆祝愚人节最早是在1582年，在法国。那时，当时法国新年是在3月25日，一直持续到4月1日。16世纪60年代中期，国王查理九世把新年从3月25日变为1月1日，而还有一些人在4月1日过新年，这些人就被称作四月傻瓜了。

Pranks performed on April Fools Day range from the simple, （such as saying, "Your shoes untied!）， to the elaborate. Setting a roommates alarm clock back an hour is a common gag. The news media even gets involved. For instance, a British short film once shown on April Fools Day was a fairly detailed documentary about "spaghetti farmers" and how they harvest their crop from the spaghetti trees. Whatever the prank, the trickster usually ends it by yelling to his victim, "April Fool!"

愚人节那天的恶作剧有的很简单（比如，说句“你鞋带开了！”），有的却是精心设计的。把室友的闹钟往后调一小时是常见的。甚至新闻媒体都来凑热闹。比如，在愚人节那天，曾经有一部英国短片较为详细地记录了“种意大利面的农民”，以及他们如何从意大利面树上收获意大利面。不管是什么恶作剧，搞恶作剧的人通常在最后会对被搞的人喊一句："四月傻瓜！"

April Fools Day is a "for-fun-only" observance. Nobody is expected to buy gifts or to take their "significant other" out to eat in a fancy restaurant. Nobody gets off work or school. Its simply a fun little holiday, but a holiday on which one must remain forever vigilant, for he may be the next April Fool!

愚人节是一个“仅为娱乐”的节日。谁也不用买礼物，也不用带着男/女朋友出去到一家豪华餐厅去吃饭。人们也不会放假。它仅仅是个搞笑的小节日，但是在这一天，每个人都要保持警醒，不然就要被人耍啦。

Each country celebrates April Fools differently. In France, the April Fools is called "April Fish" （Poisson dAvril）。 The French fool their friends by taping a paper fish to their friends backs and when some discovers this trick, they yell "Poisson dAvril!".

每个国家用不同的方式过愚人节。在法国，愚人节被称作“April Fish”。法国人和他们的朋友是这样开玩笑的：把一张裁成鱼形的纸用胶带粘到朋友的后背上，当有人发现的时候，他们就会喊：“Poisson dAvril!”。

In England, tricks can be played only in the morning. If a trick is played on you, you are a "noodle". In Scotland, April Fools Day is 48 hours long and you are called an "April Gowk", which is another name for a cuckoo bird. The second day in Scotlands April Fools is called Taily Day and is dedicated to pranks involving the buttocks. Taily Days gift to posterior posterity is the still-hilarious "Kick Me" sign.

在英国，只能在早上搞恶作剧。如果你被耍了，那你就是“面条”。在苏格兰，愚人节要持续2天，被耍的人被称为“四月布谷”。苏格兰第二天的愚人节叫做Taily Day，恶作剧主要在别人的屁股上做文章。
