"The moon is round and round on the 15th day..." this classic song is

around my ears again. Listen... At this time, I have come to my grandparents

house: "Grandpa, grandma, happy Lantern Festival!"

"Wow" my eyes fly away with the fragrance and catch a large piece of meat

again, hee hee!

After dinner, dusk shrouded everything around us, so we decided to go to

Swan square to enjoy the moon.

As I walk, the moon also walks. If I walk fast, it also walks fast; I walk

slowly, so does it. As soon as I looked up, a round, large and high disc hung in

the air, as if it were the most dazzling star in the sky. The surrounding stars

were not shy and comparable with the moon. It seemed to say, "you see, you have

dominated all the glory of the 15th, how can you let me shine!"

Suddenly, my eyes were fascinated by the fascinating riddle guessing. I

quickly took my family to join the fun.

"There is a prize if you guess right, there is a prize if you guess right!"

At this time, my uncle opened his voice and attracted people heartily. Before

waiting for my uncle to finish, the visitors had already begun to grab

mysteries. Some secretly turned over reference books, others discussed with each

other, or enlightened, and happily competed for prizes. It was so lively!

As the night gets deeper and deeper, there are more and more people playing

in the square. Adults and children gather together, like the vivid pictures of

the master and the hot partners, spreading their troubles and playing

"Crazy".

Suddenly, I dont know where there is a strong smell of sleeves. Oh, my

mother peeled off this sweet and delicious thing, and the juice penetrated from

it. Wow, its so fragrant! I quickly took a bite, um, a word: "incense"! Its

still slowly aftertaste after eating!

It was getting late. I looked at the people who were playing hide and seek,

playing balloons, guessing lantern riddles and setting off fireworks

突然，我的眼被吸人眼睛的猜灯谜给迷住了，我连忙拉着家人去凑热闹。

“猜对有奖，猜对有奖!”此时，叔叔拉开了嗓门，尽情地招引人们，没等位叔叔说完，游玩的人们早已开始抢迷谜了，有的偷偷翻工具书，有的则互相探讨，或开窍了，高高兴兴地竞换奖品去了，好热闹!

夜越来越深，广场的游玩人们也愈多，大人小孩们交集在一起，像大师手下的生动图画，又好似热火朝天的伙伴，在洒开烦恼“疯”玩。

突然，不知从哪里飘来一股浓浓的袖子香味，哦，原来妈妈剥开了这香甜可口的东西，果汁从里面渗透出来，哇，好香呀!我连忙咬上了一口，嗯，一个字：“香”!吃完了还在慢慢回味呢!

时候不早了，我又望了望正在捉迷藏，打气球，猜灯谜，放烟火的人们……

开始包汤团了，我照着爸爸的样子，拿了一小团面，放在手掌中间挫一个小圆球，然后把右手的大拇指把插进刚揉好的面团，用筷子夹点芝麻馅放在刚弄的洞里，用四个手指配合大拇指一起往中间按，揉一揉又变成了圆形。我要把这个“半成品”放到碟子上面去时，爸爸叫住了我说：“儿子，这样放上去可能会粘的，在糯米粉里滚一滚就不粘了。”我照着爸爸的方法一试果然不粘了。照这样一连做了好几个，不一会二十个就完成了，个个洁白如玉，让人嘴馋。

导语：同样,最近几年端午节已经不局限于中国,成为国际性节日,而庆祝的人可能对节日的由来并不太了解。下面是yuwenmi小编为大家整理的有关端午节由来的作文，欢迎阅读与借鉴，谢谢!

The Dragon Boat Festival， also called the Duanwu Festival， is celebrated on the fifth day of the fifth month according to the Chinese calendar. This festival is to commemorate the death of QU Yuan， an upright and honest poet and statesman who is said to have committed suicide by drowning himself in a river.

The most important activity of this festival is the Dragon Boat races. It symbolizes people‘s attempts to rescue Qu Yuan. In the current period， these races also demonstrate the virtues of cooperation and teamwork.

Besides， the festival has also been marked by eating zong zi (glutinous rice)。 Zong zi is made of glutinous rice stuffed with different fillings and wrapped in bamboo or reed leaves. People who mourned the death of Qu threw Zong zi into the river to feed his ghost every year.

With the changes of the times， the memorial turns to be a time for protection from evil and disease for the rest of year. People will hang healthy herbs on the front door to clear the bad luck of the house. Although the significance of the festival might be different with the past， it still gives the observer an opportunity to glimpse a part of the rich Chinese cultural heritage.

【参考译文】

端午节，又称端阳节，是庆祝第五个月的第五天的农历。这个节日是为了纪念屈原之死，一位正直的诗人和政治家，是说已投江自杀了。

本节最重要的活动是龙舟比赛。它象征着人们试图营救屈原。在当前时期，这些比赛也证明了团队合作的优点。

此外，本节还着在这天吃粽子(糯米饭)。粽子是由糯米饭塞满不同的馅料包在竹叶或芦苇叶。人们哀悼屈原将粽子扔到河里喂他的鬼魂每年。

随着时代的变迁，纪念变成了邪恶和疾病的保护对今年剩下的时间。人们会健康草药在前门摆脱房子的坏运气。虽然这个节日的意义可能与过去不同，但仍然给观察者一个机会，看到了丰富的中国文化遗产的一部分。

元宵节晚上，我和妈妈去最繁华的街心广场赏灯。

一出门，只见街上人头攒动，许多商店的门口都燃起了熊熊的旺火。人们都围在旺火旁一边暖着手，一边谈论着。马路两旁的树上都挂上一漂亮的彩灯，一盏盏小灯如星星般一闪一闪，我仿佛进入了童话的世界。每家商场的灯笼也是各式各样，有长的，有圆的，还有自动旋转的。这一切都组成了一个喜庆祥和的元宵之夜。

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。

元宵节是我国的四大节日之一，元宵节一过，春节也就算过完了，所以这一天是非常隆重和热闹的。以前，人们主要是看花灯与舞龙，现在燃放烟花，人们观看烟花也就成为庆祝节日的方式之一了。

晚上七点多一点，我就着急地叫爸爸妈妈带我上工人体育馆去，听说那八点整要放烟花的。走在街上，看到路上有很多与我一样想看烟花的人，大家老老小小一家人，显得十分的高兴。人真是多呀，挤得水泄不通。

八点钟到了，只听见几声沉闷的声音，一个个烟花带着红红的火星窜上了天空，几声脆响，夜空绽放出几朵美丽的花朵。它们的形状和颜色各不相同，有五颜六色的满天星，金黄色的蒲公英，紫色的牵牛花，火红的玫瑰花，粉红的月季、银色的百合……，绚丽多彩。

随着一声声的炮响，人们在惊呼，在赞叹，夜色中，人们微微扬起的脸上也变幻着多姿的色彩，也露出了幸福的笑容，他们不也像一朵朵美丽的烟花吗!

一晃几年过去，女儿们陆续到了出嫁的年龄，父亲却变得更加沮丧，因为他没钱给女儿们买嫁妆。圣人nicholas(圣诞老人)知道了他们一家人的境况后，决定帮助他们渡过难关。

一天晚上，女儿们洗完衣服后将长统袜挂在壁炉前烘干。圣人nicholas(圣诞老人)驾着雪橇来到他们的家门前，他从窗口看到一家人都已睡着了，同时也注意到了女孩们的长统袜，于是，他从口袋里掏出三小包黄金从烟囱上一个个投下去，刚好掉在女孩们的长统袜里。

第二天早上，女儿们醒来发现她们的长统袜里装满了金子，足够供她们买嫁妆了。父亲也因此能亲眼看到女儿们出嫁了。从此，一家人又过上了幸福快乐的生活。

我喜欢的节日是新年和元宵节，前天就是元宵节，我妈妈喜欢在元宵节的时候猜灯谜。现在，让我来为大家介绍一下元宵节吧。

元宵节是中国的传统节日之一，早在XX多年前西汉时就存在了，元宵节赏灯始于东汉明帝时期，明帝倡议佛教，听说佛教有正月十五僧人观佛舍利，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，令士族庶庄民都挂灯。以后这种佛教礼仪节日逐渐形成了元宵节。

“猜灯谜”又叫“打灯谜”，是元宵节后增的一项活动，出现在宋朝。南宋时，首都临安每逢元宵节时制谜，猜谜的人众多。一般是把谜语写在纸上，贴在五光十色的灯笼上让人猜。

我喜欢猜灯谜，喜欢有趣的元宵节。

我爱元宵节!
