Lantern Festival

New Year is the biggest festival for Chinese people. After about half a month, there is a traditional festival, it is the Lantern Festival, which is also important. The first round moon day in the New Year is special. People continue to celebrate the New Year and enjoy the time with their families.

新年对中国人来说是最大的节日。在这之后约半个月，有一个传统的节日——元宵节，这也是很重要的。新年的第一轮圆月是特别的。人们继续庆祝新年，享受与家人在一起的时光。

The coming of the Lantern Festival is various. Some people said that it is related to Buddha. When the Buddhas meditated, they need light in front of them, so the light can drive away a monster for people. Today, in some areas, people light up lanterns to beg for a son from god. No matter what the story is, the traditional festival is favored by people and the government pays special attention to remind this tradition.

元宵节的来源有多种说法。有些人说它与佛有关。当佛陀冥想时，他们需要点灯，所以光对于人们来说可以赶走怪物。今天，在一些地区，人们会点亮灯，向上帝祈求要一个儿子。无论故事是怎么样的，传统节日都受到人们的喜爱，政府也特别重视这一传统。

There are many activities on Lantern Festival, and the most traditional game is the riddle. People can read some riddles that are written in the lanterns. They can get prizes if they know the answers. I love riddle so much, because when I figure out the answers, I will be very proud of myself, at the same time, I can learn some funny knowledge. 

元宵节上有很多活动，最传统的游戏是猜谜语。人们可以猜写在侧边的谜语，如果猜中答案，就可以获得奖品。我非常喜欢猜谜语，因为当我找到答案的时候，我会为自己感到自豪，同时，我也能学到一些有趣的知识。

元宵节

春节过后，就迎来了元宵节。在中国，人们在正月十五庆祝元宵节。这一天意味着短暂的新年假日结束了。在这新的一年，人们会带着最好的祝愿回到他们的工作岗位上。在这个节日里，吃的玩的都是十分丰富而且有趣的。汤圆，是最重要也是最传统的食品——外面包裹着甜软的糯米皮，而里面填满了花生或芝麻馅料。这个小小的糯米球象征着阖家团圆，及对家庭最美好的祝愿。除了和父母亲戚一起吃饭之外，还有许许多多的活动等着你。看花灯、猜谜语是元宵节的传统组成部分。最有趣的是谜语都写在花灯上。晚饭过后，一家人就高高兴兴的去大街上看花灯，猜谜语，享受着这幸福的时光。

在每个城市，都有条大街作为花灯展的主会场。在这个特别的日子，各式各样的巨大花灯发出像白昼一样的光芒，照亮了赏灯的人们，也照亮了漆黑的夜。在这一刻，任何言语都不能表达心中的喜悦之情。赏花灯，猜谜语，吃汤圆，和我们爱的人在一起，想着美好的未来，所有的一切，都值得了。

元宵节快乐！
