用英语写元宵节的由来（最新20篇）

春节过后就是元宵节了，关于元宵节的传说，昨天，妈妈跟我讲了，今天我就说给大家听听吧！

听妈妈讲，传说在很久以前，世上风调雨顺、五谷丰登，老百姓丰衣足食、安居乐业。

突然灾难降临、城内洪水泛滥，城外田地干旱，原来是王母娘娘请玉帝去赴宴，玉帝喝酒喝得酩酊大醉。宴会后余地回宫办事，于是把雨簿写错了，本应是城外雨五分，城内雨三分，玉帝给写反了。青龙得知原因，便偷偷地里溜到天宫，改了雨簿，这样世上又慢慢恢复了本来面目。玉帝酒醒后，也发现写错了雨簿，但本想改正，又怕重臣说自己做事不慎重，只好将错就错。

后来玉帝发现自己的雨簿被改过，不由心中大怒，派丞相来到人间杀了青龙，丞相照做了。青龙被丞相杀了后，变成一只神鸟，在玉帝殿外喊冤，玉帝心中感到惭愧，便下书要黄帝向百姓传令，要纪念为民除害的青龙，这天就是正月十五元宵节。

每年春节，人们都要敲锣打鼓，耍龙舞狮几年青龙，庆祝元宵节。

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.

There is an old saying well said: "the fifteenth day of the first make the lantern". This sentence vividly reflects the most obvious feature of the Lantern Festival, right, the Lantern Festival is the relatives and friends from all over the world come here to gather together with joy and eat a bowl of steaming dumplings, together to watch the street people held a grand dragon parade, viewing by ordinary creation of song and dance show, I appreciate the sparkling in the night sky.

Our family in the home early to eat dumplings, and then together down the street to watch lanterns. Just come to the road, a huge dragon dance team also happened to pass by, dragon uncles spirit, straightened his spine, step to fly, like a hits the ageless humans, will otherwise lifeless dragon dance to life. Team, gongs, can see people, cheered for it all, applauded. Moonlight cascaded like water spilled on the lawn, all things like cast a veil of mystery, inspiring -- that is YiZhanZhan colorful lanterns broke the silence. Look, on the other side of the twelve acoustic xiao lanterns is especially remarkable. Look, 12 acoustic xiao eldest brother - rats are proud to say hello to everyone; Diligent in the old cow is unconvinced why mice when the boss; A loud roar fierce tiger; Scared rabbit hide aside; Fierce dragon is off in the sea of clouds; While the small snake in the water happily; The horse is running on the endless prairie; The sheep are called "baa baa", little monkey mischievously climbed to the tree to pick a peach to eat; Big cock was "oh oh" quote tolls; This year is the year of the dog, little of course not the dog, you see, it is alive happily; While the pig to sleep in late in the nest!

Open multicolored fireworks in the sky, we reluctantly left as a family.

有句古话说得好：“正月十五闹元宵”。这句话生动地体现出了元宵节最大的特点，对，元宵节就是亲戚朋友从五湖四海赶来欢乐地聚在一块儿，吃上一碗热气腾腾的汤圆，结伴到街上观看人们举行的盛大的舞龙游行，观赏由平民老百姓创作的歌舞节目，欣赏那夜空中的光彩夺目的火树银花。

我们一家人在家中早早地吃好了汤圆，然后一块儿到街上去赏花灯。刚走到路口，一支庞大的舞龙队伍也恰巧经过，舞龙的叔叔们精神抖擞，挺直了腰板，箭步如飞，好似一棵棵不老的青松，将那原本毫无生气的巨龙舞得活灵活现。队伍所到之处，锣鼓喧天，所见之人，都为之喝彩，拍手叫好。月光如流水一般泻在草坪上，一切事物都像蒙上了一层神秘的面纱，令人浮想联翩，是一盏盏五彩缤纷的花灯打破了这份沉静。看，那边的十二声肖花灯尤其引人注意。瞧，十二声肖的大哥—老鼠正在骄傲地向大家问好;勤勤恳恳的老牛正在不服气为什么老鼠当老大呢;凶猛的老虎大吼了一声;吓得小兔躲到了一边;勇猛的巨龙正在云海里腾飞;而小蛇则在水里欢快地游;马儿正在一望无际的大草原上奔跑;羊儿则在“咩咩”叫，小猴子淘气地爬到树上摘桃吃;大公鸡正在“喔喔”地报鸣;今年是狗年，当然少不了小狗了，你瞧，它正高兴地活蹦乱跳呢;而小猪则在窝里睡懒觉呢!

天空中一朵朵礼花开放，我们一家人依依不舍地离去了。

今天是我国的传统节日——元宵节。这一天，人们要吃汤圆、放烟花。

以往对元宵节，我们都是吃超市里买的速冻汤圆。可是，今年却截然不同，妈妈为了增加节日气氛，决定要自己做汤圆。我听了心里别提有多兴奋了。

我们先把糯米粉用开水调成皮，爸爸叫我水不要太多，多了会过稀;也不要太少，少了会粘不住。然后取一块皮在手掌中搓成圆形，再用手指在上面按一个窝，把馅放在里面包好，放馅时一定不能太贪心，否则会把皮给撑破的。包好汤圆后，终于可以下锅了。没过多久，汤圆熟了，只见一个个雪白的汤圆漂浮在水中，好像一粒粒大珍珠，看得我直流口水，迫不及待地咬了一口。啊!真好吃，那么香甜，那么可口。小小的汤圆包含了我们全家人的美好祝愿。

吃完汤圆，我们便开始放烟花。爸爸放了一个大的。只见几颗明亮的火星一颗接一颗冲上灰暗的天空，刹那间，火星炸开了，变成一朵朵五光十色的花蕊。整个天空变成一个美丽的大花园，真是火树金花闹元宵呀!

最后，我们全家津津有味地看元宵晚会，其乐融融的。

正月十五为元宵节（又称灯会）。据乾隆十四牛张绍美编的《五凉考治六德集全志武威县志》载：“元宵，四市竖坊，悬灯，杂扮花鼓．高跷．演百戏。”旧时，金塔寺等地有黄河灯会，情景亦十分壮观。建国后，历年元宵节的灯会胜似往昔。节日之前，企事业职工，纷纷结扎彩门，悬挂花灯。有花卉灯、动物灯、八仙过海灯、西游记故事灯，争奇斗艳，气象万千。有爱好者在灯内装置微型电动机，胜似走马灯。最引人注目的是腾云驾雾的金龙灯，足有lo多米长。是夜，城内和城郊居民，蜂拥而至，万头攒动，人流如潮。武威习俗，观灯时必从龙灯下钻过，祈求合家平安，万字如意。又说龙是吉祥物，钻了龙灯，就会人丁兴旺。

农村灯会别有情趣，彩灯古朴典雅，乡土气息浓郁。有用玉米芯制做的火炬灯，也有用山药蛋、萝卜头制做的彩灯。墙头上、马棚下，处处有灯，灯光通明。据史籍记载：武威灯会之盛况，自唐已有，并闻名于长安。故有唐玄宗与道士叶法善夜游凉州灯会流连忘返的传说。

武威元宵灯会，不论新俗、旧俗，都要举办3天，即正月十四、十五、十六。

The evening of the Lantern Festival, my parents and I a line of three people go to square to see fireworks together. Along the way, the lamp can be more people, men and women, old and young, they happily juggle said laughing, the whole city is a festival atmosphere.

Suddenly, a "missile" spray a fly to the sky, just like a plane, exploded in the sky, colorful fireworks like paratroopers float however, disappeared when fast to the ground.

元宵节晚上，我和爸爸妈妈一行三人一起去广场看礼花。一路上，看灯的人可多了，男女老少都有，他们兴高采烈地边说边笑，整个城市一派节日的气氛。

忽然，一个“导弹”喷的一声飞向天空，就像飞机似的，在天空中爆炸了，五颜六色烟花像伞兵一样飘然而落，快到地面时就消失了。几颗“流星”从空中划过，看，那流星闪闪发亮，飞向云层，接着出现了无数小礼花，小礼花噼里啪啦的响声吓得我弟弟赶忙捂住耳朵，一会儿，小礼花便消失的无影无踪。

元宵节的晚上可热闹了，看灯的人人山人海，人们笑逐颜开。

农历的正月十五，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，人们对此加以庆祝，也是庆贺新春的延续.元宵节又称为“上元节”.

按中国民间的传统，在这天上皓月高悬的夜晚，人们要点起彩灯万盏，以示庆贺.出门赏月、燃灯放焰、喜猜灯谜、共吃元宵，合家团聚、同庆佳节，其乐融融.

元宵节也称灯节，“猜灯谜”又叫“打灯谜”，是元宵节后增的一项活动，开始时是好事者把谜语写在纸条上，贴在五光十色的彩灯上供人猜.因为谜语能启迪智慧又饶有兴趣，所以流传过程中深受社会各阶层的欢迎.

民间过元宵节吃元宵的习俗.元宵由糯米制成，或实心，或带馅.馅有豆沙、白糖、山楂、各类果料等，食用时煮、煎、蒸、炸皆可.起初，人们把这种食物叫“浮圆子”，后来又叫“汤团”或“汤圆”，这些名称“团圆”字音相近，取团圆之意，象征全家人团团圆圆，和睦幸福，人们也以此怀念离别的亲人,寄托了对未来生活的美好愿望.

一些地方的元宵节还有“走百病”的习俗，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，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、打太平鼓等传统民俗表演.这个传承已有两千多年的传统节日，不仅盛行于海峡两岸，就是在海外华人的聚居区也年年欢庆不衰.

随着一声声炮响，人们在惊呼，赞叹，脸上露出了幸福的笑容。烟花表演在欢呼声中悄悄结束，但刚刚那一幕幕精彩的烟花表演，将永远留在我的脑海里。

在爆竹声中，迎来了我国的传统节日——元宵节。

元宵节，早晨起床当然应该吃一碗热气腾腾的汤圆。汤圆用黏黏的面团搓成，有大有小，有粉有白，放在锅里蒸上一会儿。煮好的汤圆，像一个个可爱的胖娃娃。咬一口，烫烫的黑芝麻像流水般滚入心脾，嘴巴里充满了浓浓的芝麻味，舌尖上留着那种甜蜜蜜的情思和味道，代表着一家和和睦睦的生活。

晚上，我到外边去玩，大街小巷都张灯结彩，最美的还要数护城河边了。护城河边灯光辉煌，人声鼎沸。我漫游在这灯的世界，细细观赏，栩栩如生的金鱼灯，形象逼真的莲花灯，古朴典雅的宫灯——各式各样的彩灯造型优美，装饰考究，做工精细，真让人眼花缭乱，美不胜收。在平静的河面上，映照出了灯的影子，好像河的底下也点着一盏似的。一阵微风拂过，河面上微波荡漾，灯的影子也跟着摇摇晃晃了。

“好!”一阵喝彩声吸引住了我，原来是不远处有人在猜灯谜。我也想过去猜猜，可无奈人太多，形成了一堵‘人’墙，把猜灯谜的舞台围得水泄不通。我站在‘人’墙外，听着里面传来的阵阵欢笑声。主持人开始说灯谜了：“一人一张嘴(猜一字)。”我心想：那是什么呢?我正想着，一位老爷爷举起了手，回答道：“是个‘合’字。”主持人笑眯眯地说：“恭喜您，答对了。”话音刚落，周围就响起了一阵雷鸣般的掌声。

元宵节，这个热闹非凡的节日，在人们的欢笑声中结束。

说起元宵节，我想起了上一年过元宵节的时候发生的事情，让我清楚了元宵节的由来。

那一天吃饭的时侯，我发现桌子上摆满了一碟碟丰盛的饭菜，一碗碗汤圆，家里还点了几盏灯笼。于是我问妈妈：“今天是什么日子啊？为什么吃那么丰盛的大餐？点那么多灯笼？”妈妈说：“今天是元宵节啊！吃完饭还要放烟花呢！”我疑惑不解的问妈妈： “为什么元宵节要点灯笼，放烟花呢？”

妈妈给我讲起了元宵节的由来：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，却意外地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。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。妈妈说完将一碗汤圆端到我面前，我刚要张嘴妈妈仿佛知道我要问什么就说：“正月十五吃元宵是因为正月十五的月亮是一年中最圆的，所以元宵做成圆型表示月亮，团团圆圆。今天家家户户团聚在一起吃团圆饭，也一定要吃汤圆来表示永远团圆。”吃罢晚饭我和爸爸去放烟花，看着那一束束五彩缤纷的烟花，看着那一盏盏形状各异五颜六色的彩灯，耀眼的灯光和璀璨的烟花交织在一起，预示着我们的生活将会更加美好。
