元宵節(jié)

自漢朝(公元前206年—公元221年)起，元宵節(jié)就已成為了中國新

年慶祝活動中的一部分了。一般農(nóng)歷的正月十五為元宵節(jié)，這一天

也標(biāo)志著新年慶祝活動的結(jié)束。

the lantern festival has been part of chine new year

celebrations since the han dynasty (206 bc- 221 ad). usually

held on the 15th day of the first month of the lunar calendar, it

marks the end of new year festivities。

據(jù)說元宵節(jié)由古代中國的一個傳說演化而來，傳言每至農(nóng)歷第一個

月圓之夜，便可看到天上飛動的神靈。為了更容易尋找神靈，他們

都會用一些火把照明，而這些火把也逐漸由一些形狀、大小、顏色

各異的燈籠所取代。

it is said that the holiday evolved from an ancient chine

belief that celestial spirits could be en flying about in the

light of the first full moon of the lunar calendar. to aid them in

their arch for the spirits they ud torches. the torches

gave way to lanterns of every shape, size and colour。

元宵節(jié)廣受喜愛的另一個原因在于：它也被看做中國的情人節(jié)，因

為在過去，這一天少男少女們可以利用這個寶貴的機(jī)會晚上一起出

去約會。而今，在中國、香港、新加坡和臺灣每年都會歡慶元宵節(jié)，

以此作為中國新年慶祝的收尾。同時這些地方每年也會舉辦一些比

the lanterns

the lanterns come in all shapes and sizes. some are created

in the form of animals, incts, flowers, people or even

machines or buildings. others depict scenes from popular

stories teaching filial piety and traditional values. a favourite

subject is the zodiac animal of the year

猜燈謎

元宵節(jié)傳統(tǒng)習(xí)俗中還有一部分是關(guān)于猜燈謎的游戲。在過去，這些

謎語大多出自于模糊的文學(xué)典故和中國古典之中，所以猜燈謎以前

多為知識份子的“領(lǐng)地”。

lantern riddles (caideng mi)

part of the lantern festival tradition involves a game to guess

riddles attached to the lanterns. in the old days the riddles

were obscure literary allusions to the chine classics and so

were mainly the prerve of the educated class。

特色小吃

與大多數(shù)中國節(jié)日一樣，元宵節(jié)同樣有自己的特色小吃，稱為“湯

圓”(也叫“元宵”)。湯圓外形圓圓的，外皮由糯米制成，內(nèi)餡或甜或

辣。人們都說湯圓有兩個象征之意，一為農(nóng)歷的第一個月圓，二為

家庭團(tuán)聚圓滿。

special foods

like most chine festivals, the lantern festival has its own

special food, called tang yuan. the are round, glutinous rice

dumplings with sweet or spicy fillings. the dumplings are said

to symboli both the first full moon and family unity and
