The Lantern Festival (元宵节) is the last day of the Chinese New Year celebration. This day is for the last moment for setting off fireworks, the last excuse for eating a big feast and the last chance for family getting together before the "年" celebrations are over. (Latern Festival is also a traditional time of celebration for foreigners who live in China).

The Lantern Festival, the 15th of the first month of the lunar calendar, is the first full moon of the year. Celebrations and traditions on this day date back to the Western Han Dynasty.

Traditions for this festival: as the name indicates, hanging and looking at lanterns is the main tradition. Lanterns of various shapes and sizes are displayed on trees, or along river banks.

Parents often take their children to Lantern Fairs and sometimes lucky kids even get a mini toy lantern.

Another tradition is guessing lantern riddles. These are riddles that are hung on lanterns for people to shoot down and solve. The riddles are usually short, wise, and sometimes humorous. The answer to a riddle can be a Chinese character, a famous persons name, a place name or a proverb. This tradition has become a popular game with serious staying power even as social development changes other traditions.

Other than that, the most important thing to do today is to eat sweet dumplings. In northern China, sweet dumplings made of glutinous rice flour are called "元宵" while in southern part they are called "汤圆". Typical sweet dumplings are filled with black sesame sauce, sweetened bean paste, or hawthorn. Making "元宵" today is like a game or an activity, so its seldom done without a reason and a group of friends or family present to help out.

The Lantern Festival, which occurs on the 15-th day of the First Month of theChinese Year, marks the end of the New Year's Holidays.

Lanterns are everywhere. A most interesting tradition is the posting ofriddles called 'Lantern Riddles.' Riddles are written on pieces of paper andposted on lanterns or wall. Any one solving the riddle is awarded a prize.

On the 15th day of the first lunar month, the Lantern Festival is celebrated on the Lantern Festival. Our school is no exception, each student eats two big rice dumplings. The teacher said: "the students who eat the red jujube can get an unexpected gift, and can also take a photo as a souvenir."

Before eating yuanxiao I silently pray: red date ah red date you will I hide in my yuanxiao? And that lucky fellow won't be me?

I took the first yuanxiao to bite down, alas! It was bean paste, but very sweet, I think: there is a little hope, I did not hesitate to pick up the second yuanxiao can't wait to bite down, the luck is really bad, is the food, but very fragrant.

Although today did not eat the red date of the Lantern Festival, but I am also very happy, because I and the teacher, the students in the New Year happily passed a lively Lantern Festival!

Lantern Festival is the first full moon day of the year, it symbolizes reunion, harmony and good. But some people are far away from their hometown, relatives, such as armed police soldiers, they for the sake of the countrys peace, silently stick to their posts.

In order to send joy and blessings to the armed police uncles far away from home. On the Lantern Festival, our school "child eagle" traffic police club organized us to celebrate the festival with the armed police uncles. We first came to the scene under the leadership of the community staff. As soon as we arrived at the production stage, we couldnt wait to wash our hands while learning the appearance of the aunt mother-in-law rubbed up the Lantern Festival, while with excitement waiting for the arrival of the armed police uncles, "to come to!" I do not know who shouted, I saw the armed police uncle walked neatly toward us. As soon as they entered the door, they put their hats neatly on the table, and then together with us to rub up the yuanxiao. After a while, a round yuanxiao was rubbed.

"All right, all right! With the cries of the community mother-in-law. A bowl of steaming yuanxiao in front of us, we quickly put the yuanxiao end to the armed police uncle hand, they give and take to each other...... Looking at the happy smiling faces of our uncles and eating the yuanxiao made by ourselves, our hearts are full of pride.

Time flies like an arrow. The armed police uncles are going back to the brigade. We quickly stood in a row, loudly said: "armed police uncle goodbye, happy Lantern Festival, see you again!" Everyone laughed.

Then a blossoming of different colors of fireworks in the sky race to open first, competing for beauty, some like a machine gun to the sky, some like swimming in the sky starfish, some like coconut trees, and like fireflies flying aimlessly in the sky...... Again heard "bang" sound, a large fireworks burst, jumped out of countless small dots, then countless small dots into countless small mushrooms, they like a small paratrooper falling down from the air. At this time, a huge willow tree from the sky, like gold waterfall flowing down, is really "flying down three thousand feet, suspected to be the Milky Way nine days." We are intoxicated in this colorful world. Dad suddenly said: "today, even if the year is over, from tomorrow you will start school." Just then, a meteor across the sky, I quickly made a wish.

Today, I am so happy!

Today is the Lantern Festival, in order to go to see the Lantern Festival early, I eat faster. To the north of the city park a look, here is really a sea of people, has become a sea of joy.
