用英语写元宵节的由来【通用19篇】

xx年11月17日星期三晴

正月十五是中国的传统节日——元宵节，听公公说：“正月十五是点灯节。谁家生了男孩必须在腊月十五的宗氏祠点上一盏灯，一直点到正月十五。这表示宗氏又添了一口丁了。”真是重男轻女，现在可都不时兴这个了。

正月十五，太阳一下山，我们全家吃完元宵，就立刻走向人民公园——花灯集中点。

夜幕降临，人民公园里人山人海，男女老少个个满脸笑容。我们看到的是花灯海洋，我们随波逐流，观赏着各种各样的花灯：有飞龙喷火、狮子玩球、鲤鱼吐珠、龙凤呈祥……真是千姿百态。

“轰！轰！轰！”啊！人民广场开始放烟花了，人们朝人民广场的方向望去，看到天边五颜六色的烟花，真像仙女散花，美丽极了，人们无不欢呼雀跃，感到无比幸福、快乐。

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。

元宵节晚上，我们家要包汤圆。我很高兴，就让妈妈教我包汤圆，妈妈同意了。我看着妈妈把汤圆粉用温水和好，然后将一团和好的汤圆粉压成扁扁的圆形，将一些黑芝麻馅放在中间，最后将它包住，放在手心里滚来滚去，一个圆圆的汤圆就包好了，妈妈把它轻轻地放在撒满汤圆粉的一个大盘子里。

我看完后满不在乎，说：“这么简单呀，我一看就会!”我照着妈妈的办法，先将汤圆皮捏成薄薄的一个片，将芝麻馅放在汤圆皮上，包的时候我用力一捏，馅全出来了。我一看泄了气，决定不干了。妈妈：“一个没包好，再包一个，世上无难事，只怕有心人嘛!”妈妈让我不要放太多的馅，手不要捏的太紧。于是，我按照妈妈教我的方法又包了起来，一个又一个，馅已经很少往外跑了。紧接着我又发现一个问题，在捏皮时总是有些地方有点干，我加快了速度，尽量让它多保留一些水分。经过精心地学习，我终于包出了合格的汤圆。

晚上吃着自己包的汤圆，看着窗外绚丽的烟花，我心里美滋滋的。因为这甜美的汤圆也有我的一份功劳呀!

今年2月11日是正月十五元宵节，元宵节里有吃元宵、舞狮子、观花灯等习俗。其中，吃元宵是一种独特的小吃，吃起来香甜甜香的，令人齿颊留香。

那么，你们知道元宵节为什么要吃元宵吗，让我来讲给你听吧!

元宵起源于春秋时期的楚昭王，是楚昭王回国途中乘船在长江时，看见江面上漂着几个浮物，颜色是白的还有一点儿黄，船工捞起来献给了楚昭王。昭王在吃的时候发现里面有红如胭脂的瓤，味道鲜美。回国后，昭王命令人以山楂为瓤，仿制给臣民食用，以庆祝家国团圆。这一天，正好是正月十五，后代相沿成习。

如今，北方人称其为元宵，在南方确称“汤圆。这些与“团圆“音近，取团圆之意，又逢十五月圆之夜，象征着全家人团团圆圆，和睦幸福，人们也用此来思念离别的新人。

每年元宵节的时候，我们总会吃饺子和汤圆，意味团团圆圆，美美满满。在老家，家家户户都有田地，农民靠土地为生。所以，每逢元宵，每家的奶奶们总会炒花生，炒瓜子，这一习俗叫做“炒虫”，愿望来年的田地能没有虫子，五谷丰收。炒熟了，花生，瓜子的香味弥漫在屋子里，孩子们总是笑着，抢着，给节日增添了不少乐趣。

又到了元宵节，虽然身在异地他乡，可过节的气氛却不见减。家家户户都做了或者买了五颜六色的汤圆儿，妈妈也亲手给我们包了黑芝麻汤圆。妈妈先把糯米面用开水烫一下，然后搅拌均匀，搓成一个大大的面团儿，接着揪出一个个的小团，将小团按扁，用勺子舀上黑芝麻馅儿，包成圆，一个就完成了。接着，将水放入沸腾的水中，直到汤圆漂浮在水面上，捞出。一个个色香味俱全的汤圆就出锅了。我们吃着汤圆，一股别样的心情顿生心头。

到了晚上，鞭炮的轰隆声伴着礼花上升绽放的声音，萦绕在耳畔。爸爸也买了鞭炮和烟花，我心血来潮，叫上弟弟，一起去点鞭炮，沾点儿喜气。导火线呲呲的冒着，我们赶紧跳到一边，捂上耳朵。“啪啪啪啪啪——”，热闹极了！

我爱元宵节，爱元宵节的汤圆儿，爱元宵节的热闹，更爱元宵节家家户户溢发的浓浓亲情！

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。

冬至到了，汉代以冬至为“冬节”，官府要举行祝贺仪式称为“贺冬”，官方例行放假，官场流行互贺的“拜冬”礼俗。《后汉书》中有这样的记载：“冬至前后，君子安身静体，百官绝事，不听政，择吉辰而后省事。”所以这天朝廷上下要放假休息，军队待命，边塞闭关，商旅停业，亲朋各以美食相赠，相互拜访，欢乐地过一个“安身静体”的节日。魏晋六朝时，冬至称为“亚岁”，民众要向父母长辈拜节;宋朝以后，冬至逐渐成为祭祀祖先和神灵的节庆活动。

唐、宋时期，冬至是祭天祀祖的日子，皇帝在这天要到郊外举行祭天大典，百姓在这一天要向父母尊长祭拜。明、清两代，皇帝均有祭天大典，谓之“冬至郊天”。宫内有百官向皇帝呈递贺表的仪式，而且还要互相投刺祝贺，就像元旦一样。

冬至节亦称冬节、交冬。它既是二十四节气之一，是中国的一个传统节日，曾有“冬至大如年”的说法。冬至进补，是我国传统风俗，俗语云：三九补一冬，来年无病痛。夏养三伏，冬补三九。冬至补一补,一年精气足。

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。

正月十五得像大年三十一样的重视，一家人不仅要团聚再吃顿年夜饭，夜晚还特别热闹，有集会玩龙灯、舞狮、旱船、猜灯谜、放焰火等各项社团活动。

北方的正月十五同样也过的热闹非凡，把正月十四当作大年三十再吃顿年饭，然后再继续过三天的年(十五为小初一，十六为小初二，十七为小初三)。直到正月十八，人们才开始投入到正常的生产工作中去。

不管南方北方，正月十五这一天都要合家团聚吃元宵。“元宵”这种食品名称，据说出现于宋末元初，是因为人们习惯在上元节之夜吃它的缘故。

元宵和春节的年糕、端午节的粽子一样，都是节日食品。吃元宵象征家庭像月圆一样团圆，寄托了人们对未来生活的美好愿望。元宵称“汤圆”“圆子”“水圆”“汤丸”“浮圆子”“乳糖圆子”，生意人美其名为“元宝”，由糯米制成，或实心，或带馅。馅有豆沙、白糖、山楂等，煮、煎、蒸、炸皆可。

The Lantern Festival is our traditional festival in China. The custom of the Lantern Festival mainly mainly eats dumplings.

This years Lantern Festival and our family is not the same as before. Before we go to the supermarket to buy, others are ready to go home as long as in the cooked can eat, but the feast is in is too boring. So, this years Lantern Festival, our own package dumplings.

I followed my grandma learn step by step. First prepared a pack of glutinous rice bowl. Pour into a large bowl or in a seven over ten of warm water, turn the face evenly. Surface prepared, the filling. This is made of black sesame paste, buy when filling this is a fast, need to use a knife cut a small piece of a small, not too small, not too big. To rub his piece by piece into a round shape.

Surface and fillings are ready, the package is about to begin. Choke a face down, start with dough knead into a flat cake shape, took a first in the middle, push the flank face up, gradually became a circle, then use hand to knead a pinch the uneven places, rub into a ball, then rolled up on a few laps, a rice dumpling is completed.

In this way, one after another the dumplings in my hand was born. The most important thing is that the pot boil. Put a pot of water to boil and then throw the dumplings into the water, cook until the rice dumpling upward drift, water bubble, "begin" is already cooked. Turn off the fire, put the dumplings out, can eat.

Eating dumplings, do your own heart and fruity.

元宵节是我们中国的传统节日。元宵节的习俗主要就以吃汤圆为主。

今年的元宵节我们家和以前过的不一样。以前，我们是去超市买别人已经做好了的，回家只要放在过了煮好了就可以吃了，可是那样过节是在是太没意思了。所以，今年的元宵节，我们自己包汤圆。

我跟着姥姥一步一步地学着。先把准备好的一包糯米倒入一个较大的碗或盆里，倒入十分之七的温水，把这个面调均匀后放好。面做好了，该弄馅了。这次是用黑芝麻馅的，买馅的时候这个是一大快，要先用刀切的一小块一小块的，不要太小，也不要太大。再把他一块一块的搓成圆形。

面和馅都做好了，就要开始包了。先从面团上掐一块面下来，捏成扁饼形，拿一粒先放在最中间，把旁边的面往上推，逐渐变成一个圆，再用手捏一捏不平的地方，搓成一个团，再在面上滚几圈，一个汤圆就完成了。

就这样，一个又一个的汤圆在我的手中诞生了。最重要的是下锅煮。先把锅里的水烧开，然后把汤圆扔进水里，煮到汤圆向上漂，水“咕嘟咕嘟”冒泡时，就是已经煮熟了。把火关了，把汤圆捞出来，就可以吃了。

吃着自己做的汤圆，心里也甜滋滋的。

Finally arrived, and finally to the Lantern Festival. From over the years, I have been waiting for this day.

Lantern Festival, the festival has to be taken seriously since the western han dynasty period, jun, and become a folk customs, people carry on for hundreds of years of tradition, -- to admire the lanterns, guess riddles, dragon dance, lion dance, twist DaYangGe, very lively, with the development of science and technology now and create a new folk - to watch the fireworks.

Today, the whole family gather together, waiting for the yuan get to midnight snack, it just dark down, you can hear "bang hua" of firecrackers.

At night, I walk in the street, with the family is full of "boom" sound, the sky is the fireworks, although not as good as the day, but it is also illuminated. Walking up and down the street, looking at people, listening to the deafening firecrackers; Feel the lively gas; My heart also could not help being alert and cheerful. Along the way, all the stores a Lantern Festival color, roadside lights flash new moon, full moon in the sky upon the earth, is "with no lights light there is not a beauty, Japan is not spring".

Condensed out of the accident, my eyes and in the fireworks in the sky above, like will soon open the flower of the hail, suddenly open, scattered pieces of the blossom. Everywhere is the flowers open, as if spring mei fang and hail in full bloom.

Today busy angry, also let me feel though years have passed, but the yuan snack than eve also. Lively.

终于到了，终于到元宵节了。自从过完年，我一直在等待这一天。

元宵节，这个节日自从西汉时期便以受到重视，汉魏之后，便成为民间的习俗，人们沿袭着几百年来的传统，——赏花灯、猜灯谜、舞龙、舞狮、扭大秧歌，热闹极了，随着现在科技的发展又形成一个新的民俗——赏烟花。

今天，全家欢聚在一起，等待着元宵夜得到来，天刚刚暗下来，便可以听到“霹雳哗啦”的爆竹声。

到了夜晚，我和全家人走在大街上，到处是“轰轰隆隆”声音，满天都是烟花，虽不如白昼，但也是灯火通明了。大街上，看着走来走去的人们，听着震耳欲聋的爆竹声;感受着热闹的气分;我的心也不由得欢快起来。一路上，所有的店面都张灯节彩，路旁的花灯闪朔光彩，天上的圆月照耀着大地，真是“有灯无日不美人，有日无灯不算春”。

走出了花街，我的目光又凝聚在天上的烟花上面，犹如即将开放的花雹，突然开放，散下一片片花蕊。到处都是开放的花朵，犹如春梅争芳，含雹怒放。

今天热闹的气愤，也让我感受到了虽然年过去了，但这元宵夜却比大年夜还会。热闹。

I touched his chin, frowning, chanting in the heart "into a sea of water, it become a grass flowers?" Is it "yes"? Not ah! Gal. Some water is not a word! I thought for a moment. Suddenly flashes, the emergence of a "every" words in mind, oh. "Every" plus three drops of water is the "sea", and "wood" is "mei"! Why didnt I think! I quote us answers loudly. This is really a magic, they rhyme!

In these festival, one of my favorite festival is the Lantern Festival, because this holiday only lifelike lanterns and people are thinking of lantern riddle.

元宵上市，春节的又一个高潮到了。正月十五到处张灯结彩，整条大街像是办喜事，红火而热闹，热闹而美丽。有名的铺子都挂出几百盏形状各异、大大小小的灯来。有走马灯、圆角灯、莲花灯、大红灯笼……就在那天里，我和爸爸妈妈去逛了灯会。

一进街道，就看见了拥挤的人海;闻到了美味佳肴的香味;听见了喧闹的嘈杂声。我们在人群中慢慢地“蠕动”着，美国一会，一只只外形美观，制造精细的灯笼出现在我的眼前。我和爸爸妈妈走进前去，各色各样的花灯上都彩绘着《水浒传》、《红楼梦》、《三国演义》、《西游记》的所有故事。而令我印象最深的是—走马灯。

一只只马形灯放在一起似乎是万马奔腾十分壮观。走马灯是用印红的纸折出来的。马的前蹄上扬，马头向上，马尾垂下，像是真的一样。栩栩如生，形态逼真，让人看了赞叹不已。灯上映着两位豪爽之雄，两人坐在酒家中盘着腿，双手举着酒杯痛饮。

接着，我便看到了我最爱的环节—猜灯谜。我打开纸袋拿出了灯谜的题目：加水变成汪洋大海，加木变成草木花香。我摸着下巴，皱着眉头，心里念叨着“加水变成汪洋大海，加木变成草木花香是什么呢?”难道是“对”?不是呀!加三点水就不是字了呀!我思索片刻。突然灵光一闪，脑海中出现了一个“每”字，哦对了。“每”加上三点水就是“海”，加上“木”就是“梅”啊!我怎么没想到呢!我大声地报出答案。这题真是出神入化，暗藏玄机啊!

在这些节日中，我最喜欢的节日是元宵节，因为这个节日有一只只惟妙惟肖的灯笼和耐人思考的灯谜。

Today, I am very happy! Because its the Dragon Boat Festival today! No matter where you go, you can ask for a smell of zongzi. The streets, everywhere to buy dumplings: a small meat meat, meat, egg yolk, meat dumplings, dumplings red dates......

When asked about the fragrance of zongzi, I realized that I was hungry. "Dad! Give me a big meat!" I said. "I want it too, I want it, too!" My sister said. " Dad said, "OK!" Ok! One person, all right. " "Eee!" I said to my sister.

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。

元宵节是中国的一个传统节日，在农历的新年第一个月的第十五天庆祝。元宵节是中国最大的节日之一。在元宵节到来的前几天，人们就开始做灯笼，动物，蔬菜，水果，各式各样的都有，还有谜语。

在元宵节前夜，所有的灯笼都挂起来。元宵节这天，人们看灯笼和猜谜语，精彩的民间表演龙舞和秧歌。

有一句俗语叫做“疯狂如三月的兔子”，说的是在早春的时候，野兔变得疯狂的事情。那时雄兔为了与雌兔进行交配而彼此激烈争斗。而同时，雌兔在向雄兔屈服前通常又会不断拒绝雄兔，使得配对的行为看起来象一场疯狂的舞蹈，这样的场面让早期的观察者认为是春季的到来让野兔们发了狂。

There is a saying called "mad as a March hare", said that earlier in the spring, the crazy things. When the male rabbits for mating and fierce fighting each other with female rabbits. At the same time, the female rabbit in yield to the male rabbit is and will continue to make the male rabbits, pairing behavior looks like a crazy dance, this scene let early observers think the arrival of spring to make them mad.

家兔与野兔都属兔科，它们是繁殖很快的育种。雌性可以在怀第一窝小兔的时候同时怀上第二窝小兔(两窝小兔将分别出生)。这种现象被称为异期复孕。兔类的性成熟很早，在一年内可产下几窝小兔(因此有俗话说“像兔子一样能生”);所以白兔和野兔成为丰饶多产的代表，他们在交配期间的行为也被引入了民间神话传说。即使如此，能下蛋的兔子这一概念所出何处至今仍没有办法确定，可能只是来自于象征概念上的混淆，但也有可能就如复活节本身，是一种旧传统的沿袭。

Rabbits and hares are rabbit, they multiply rapidly breeding. When the first female rabbit nest and nest with second rabbits (two litters were born rabbit). This is known as the same period after pregnancy. The rabbit mature early, within a year can produce a few nest rabbit (hence the saying "like a rabbit to rabbit and hare"); so they become fertile, during mating behavior has been introduced into the folk myths and legends. Even so, this concept can lay a rabbit where still no way to determine, may be from the symbol of confusion, but there may be just as Easter itself, followed an old tradition.

在日耳曼人以及斯拉夫人的语言中，“复活节”一词来自于一个古代的异教女神，春季女神“ēostre”。根据那个传说所述，ēostre曾经救了一只在冬季被冻伤翅膀的小鸟，将它变成了一只兔子。由于它曾经是一只鸟，它依旧保留了生蛋的能力。它便是后来的复活节兔子。

In Germanic and Slavic languages, "Easter" comes from an ancient pagan goddess, goddess of spring "ostre". According to the legend of the Ostre, once rescued a frostbite in winter the wings of birds, it will be turned into a rabbit. Because it was a bird, it still retains the eggs. It became the Easter Bunny.

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.
