元宵习俗英语

In the daytime of the Festival, performances such as a dragon lantern dance, a lion dance, a land boat dance, a yangge dance, walking on stilts 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 excited by the imposing fireworks and bright moon in the sky.

The 15th day of the 1st lunar month is the Chinese Lantern Festival because the first lunar month is called yuan-month and in the ancient times people called night Xiao. The 15th day is the first night to see a full moon. So the day is also called Yuan Xiao Festival in China. According to the Chinese tradition, at the very beginning of a new year, when there is a bright full moon hanging in the sky, there should be thousands of colorful lanterns hung out for people to appreciate. At this time, people will try to solve the puzzles on the lanterns and eat yuanxiao (glutinous rice ball) and get all their families united in the joyful atmosphere. 元宵节：festival of lanterns，lantern festival dumplings 元宵： the rice glue ball 灯谜：riddles written on lanterns 灯具：lamps and lanterns 灯花 snuff 灯笼裤 bloomers galligaskins knickers pantalettes plus fours 灯笼 lantern scaldfish 灯塔 beacon lighthouse pharos 灯语 lamp signal 灯油 kerosene lamp oil 灯心蜻蜓 damselfly
