The Lantern Festival falls on the 15th day of the 1st lunar month,

usually in February or March in the Gregorian calendar. As early as the

Western Han Dynasty (206 BC-AD 25), it had become a festival with great

significance.

This day s important activity is watching lanterns. Throughout the Han

Dynasty (206 BC-AD 220), Buddhism flourished in China. One emperor heard

that Buddhist monks would watch sarira, or remains from the cremation of

Buddha s body, and light lanterns to worship Buddha on the 15th day of

the 1st lunar month, so he ordered to light lanterns in the imperial palace

and temples to show respect to Buddha on this day. Later, the Buddhist

rite developed into a grand festival among common people and its influence

expanded from the Central Plains to the whole of China.

Till today, the lantern festival is still held each year around the

country. Lanterns of various shapes and sizes are hung in the streets,

attracting countless visitors. Children will hold lf-made or bought

lanterns to stroll with on the streets, extremely excited. Guessing

lantern riddles is an esntial part of the Festival.

Lantern owners write riddles on a piece of paper and post them on the

lanterns. If visitors have solutions to the riddles, they can pull the

paper out and go to the lantern owners to check their answer. If they are

right, they will get a little gift. The activity emerged during people

s enjoyment of lanterns in the Song Dynasty (960-1279). As riddle guessing

is interesting and full of wisdom, it has become popular among all social

strata.

edible oil as filling. Tangyuan can be boiled, fried or steamed. It tastes

sweet and delicious. What’s more, tangyuan in Chine has a similar

pronunciation with tuanyuan”, meaning reunion. So people eat them to

denote union, harmony and happiness for the family.

In the daytime of the Festival, performances such as a dragon lantern

and beating drums while dancing will be staged. On the night, except for

magnificent lanterns, fireworks form a

beautiful scene. Most families spare some fireworks from the Spring

Festival and let them off in the Lantern Festival. Some local governments

will even organize a fireworks party. On the night when the first full

moon enters the New Year, people become really intoxicated by the imposing

元宵節(jié)英文介紹譯文:

元宵節(jié)

每年農歷的正月十五日，春節(jié)剛過，迎來的就是中國的傳統(tǒng)節(jié)日--元宵節(jié)。

元宵主要的活動就是看燈。東漢明帝時期，明帝提倡佛教，聽說佛教有正月

十五日僧人觀佛舍利，點燈敬佛的做法，就命令這一天夜晚在皇宮和寺廟里點燈

敬佛，令士族庶民都掛燈。以后這種佛教禮儀節(jié)日逐漸形成民間盛大的節(jié)日。該

節(jié)經歷了由宮廷到民間，由中原到全國的發(fā)展過程。

直到今天，元宵點燈的習俗仍然在中國的各地流傳的，各式各樣美麗的花燈

在這一天都會點亮，孩子們提著自制的燈籠走街串巷，非常高興。

猜燈謎也是元宵節(jié)的一項重要活動，花燈的主人會將謎面寫在燈籠上，掛在

門口，如果有人可以猜中，就能得到小小的禮物。這項活動最早起源于宋朝，因

為謎語能啟迪智慧又饒有興趣，所以流傳過程中深受社會各階層的歡迎。
