元宵节的由来英文介绍

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.每年农历的正月十五日，春节刚过，迎来的就是中国的传统节日--元宵节。元宵节主要的活动就是看灯。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。以後这种佛教礼仪节日逐渐形成民间盛大的节日。该节经历了由宫廷到民间，由中原到全国的发展过程。

元宵节的英语：The Lantern Festival。

元宵节，又称上元节、小正月、元夕或灯节，为每年农历正月十五日，是中国春节年俗中最后一个重要节令。元宵节是中国与汉字文化圈地区以及海外华人的传统节日之一。正月是农历的元月，古人称"夜"为“宵”，所以把一年中第一个月圆之夜正月十五称为元宵节。

元宵，原意为“上元节的晚上”，因正月十五“上元节”主要活动是晚上的吃汤圆赏月，后来节日名称演化为“元宵节”。元宵之夜，大街小巷张灯结彩，人们赏灯，猜灯谜，吃元宵，将从除夕开始延续的庆祝活动推向又一个高潮，成为世代相沿的习俗。

元宵在早期节庆形成过程之时，只称正月十五日、正月半或月望，隋以后称元夕或元夜。唐初受了道教的影响，又称上元，唐末才偶称元宵。但自宋以后也称灯夕。到了清朝，就另称灯节。在国外，元宵也以The Lantern Festival而为人所知。
