美人儿不哭
元宵节的起源 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 。而在国外，元宵也以TheLantern Festival 而为人所知。各式各样的灯固然是元宵的主要特色，但在这一节日的发展史中，灯到隋朝（五八一─ ~ 六一九）才出现 ，算 是晚出的节目内容之一 ，而要到唐以后灯才成为元宵的主要标帜。一般认为元宵以汉武帝在正月上辛祠太一而开其端 。不 过祭拜太一不一定在正月而且并非年年举行。所以元宵的起源恐怕不能说在汉武帝之时。其他以元宵源自道教的上元节或佛 教的燃灯法会的说法也都没有充分的证据可以支持。如下文「习 俗」一节所述，元宵大约是从三世纪开始 ，慢慢形成的一种节庆 ， 在南北朝发展成一固定的节日 ， 但成为后世元宵主要节日的花灯和百戏要到隋炀帝才开其端，炀帝也是一个把元宵庆典官式化的皇帝。 元宵节的来历 关于元宵节的来历，民间有几种有趣的传说： 传说一：传说在很久以前，有一只神鸟困为迷路而降落人间，却意外的被不知情的猎人给射死了。天帝知道 后十分震怒，就下令让天兵于正月十五日到人间放火，把人类通通烧死。 天帝的女儿心地善良，不忍心看百姓无辜受难，就冒着生命的危险，把这 个消息告诉了人们。众人听说了这个消息，有如头上响了一个焦雷。吓得 不知如何是好。过了好久好久，才有个老人家想出个法子，他说：“在正 月十四、十五、十六日这三天，每户人家都在家里挂起红灯笼、点爆竹、 放烟火。这样一来，天帝就会以为人们都被烧死了”。大家听了都点头称 是，便分头准备去了。到了正月十五这天晚上，天兵往下一看，发觉人间 一片红光，以为是大火燃烧的火焰，就禀告天帝不用下凡放火了。人们就 这样保住了生命及财产。为了纪念这次的成功，从此每到正月十五，家家 户户都悬挂灯笼，放烟火来纪念这个日子。 传说二：则和吃元宵的习俗有关：相传汉武帝有个宠臣名叫东方朔，他的个性既善良又风趣。如果宫 里有谁得罪了汉武帝，总要靠东方朔来讲情。有一天冬天，下了几天大雪 ，汉武帝觉得有点无聊，东方朔就到御花园去给武帝折梅花。刚进园门， 就发现有个宫女泪流满面的准备投井。东方朔慌忙上前搭救，并问明她要 自杀的原因。原来，这个宫女名叫元宵，家里还有双亲及一个妹妹。自从 她进宫以后，就再没和家人见面。每年到了腊尽春来的时节，就比平常更 加的思念家人。她想，既然不能在双亲跟前尽孝，还不如一死了之，于是 才来投井。东方朔听了她的遭遇，非常的同情她，就向她保证，一定设法 让她和家人团聚。这一天，东方朔出宫后，便在长安街上摆了一个占卜摊 。不少人都争着向他占卜求卦。不料，每个人所占所求，都是“正月十六 火焚身“的签语。一时之间，长安里起了个大恐慌。人们纷纷求问解灾的 办法。东方朔就说：“正月十三日傍晚，火神君会派一位‘赤衣神女'下‘凡查访。她就是奉旨烧长安的使者，你们若看到一个骑粉色银驴的红衣姑'娘，马上跪地哀求。那姑娘便说：“我是领旨来烧长安的。玉帝还要站在 南天门上观看。既承父老求情，我把抄录的偈语给你们，可让当今天子想想办法。”说完，便扔下一张红帖，扬长而去。老百姓拿起红帖，赶紧送 到皇宫去禀报皇上。汉武帝接过来一看，只见上面写着：“长安在劫，火焚帝阙，十六天火，焰红宵夜”。汉武帝一看大惊，连忙请来了足智多谋 的东方朔。东方朔假意的想了一想，就说：”听说火神君最爱吃汤圆，宫 中的元宵不是经常给你做汤圆吗？十五晚上可让元宵做汤圆。万岁焚香上 供，传令京都家家都做汤圆，一齐敬奉火神君。再传谕臣民一起在十六晚 上挂灯，满城点鞭炮、放烟火，好像满城大火，这样就可以瞒过玉帝了。 此外，通知城外百姓，十六晚上进城观灯，杂在人群中消灾解难」。武帝 听后，十分高兴，就传旨照东方朔的办法去做。到了正月十六日长安城里张 灯结彩，游人熙来攘往，热闹非常。元宵的父母也带着妹妹进城观灯。当他们看到写有“元宵”字样的大宫灯时，惊喜的高喊：“元宵！元宵！”元宵听到喊声，终于和双亲、妹妹团聚了。如此热闹了一夜，长安城果然 平安无事。汉武帝大喜，便下令以后每到正月十五都做汤圆供火神君，正 月十六照样全城挂灯放烟火。因为元宵做的汤圆最好，人们就把汤圆叫元宵，这天叫做元宵节。 传说三：汉高祖刘邦死后，吕后之子刘盈登基为汉惠帝．惠帝生性懦弱，优柔寡断，大权渐渐落再吕后手中．汉惠帝病死后吕后独揽朝政把刘氏天下变成了吕氏天下，朝中老臣，刘氏宗室深感愤慨，但都惧怕吕后残暴而敢怒不敢言。 吕后病死后，诸吕惶惶不安害怕遭到伤害和排挤．于是，在上将军吕禄家中秘密集合，共谋作乱之事，以便彻底夺取刘氏江山。 此事传至刘氏宗室齐王刘囊耳中，刘囊为保刘氏江山，决定起兵讨伐诸吕随后与开国老臣周勃，陈平取得联系，设计解除了吕禄，＂诸吕之乱＂终于被彻底平定。 平乱之后，众臣拥立刘邦的第二个儿子刘恒登基，称汉文帝．文帝深感太平盛世来之不易，便把平息＂诸吕之乱＂的正月十五，定为与民同乐日，京城里家家张灯结彩，以示庆祝．从此，正月十五便成了一个普天同庆的民间节日－－＂闹元宵＂． 农历正月十五夜，是我国民间传统的元宵节，又称上元节，灯节。正月十五闹元宵，将从除夕开始延续的庆祝活动推向又一个高潮。元宵之夜，大街小巷张灯结彩，人们赏灯，猜灯谜，吃元宵，成为世代相沿的习俗。 元宵节赏灯的习俗始于汉朝。隋唐时发展成盛大的灯市。到宋元时期，京都灯市常常绵延数十里。灯会的时间，汉朝只限于正月十五一夜，唐玄宗延长到三夜，到明朝规定从正月初八一直持续到正月十七。唐朝灯会中出现了杂耍技艺，宋代开始有灯谜。明朝有增加了戏曲表演。灯市所用的彩灯，也演绎出 “橘灯 ”、 “绢灯 ”、 “五彩羊皮灯 ”、 “无骨麦秸灯”、“走马灯”、“孔明灯”等等。始于南宋的灯谜，生动活泼，饶有风趣。经过历代发展创造，至今仍在使用的谜格有粉底格、秋千格、卷帘格、白头格、徐妃格、求凤格等一百余种，大多有限定的格式和奇巧的要求，巧立名目，妙意横生。 元宵节吃元宵的习俗始于宋朝。意在祝福全家团圆和睦，在新的一年中康乐幸福。元宵分实心和带馅两种。有香辣甜酸咸五味。可以煮、炒、油炸或蒸制。桂花酒酿元宵、以肉馅、豆沙、芝麻、桂花、果仁制成的五味元宵以及用葱、芥、蒜、韭、姜制成的象征勤劳、长久、向上的五辛元宵都各有特色。 元宵节诗词选 上 元 夜 崔 液 玉 漏 铜 壶 且 莫 催， 铁 关 金 锁 彻 夜 开。 谁 家 见 月 能 闲 坐， 何 处 闻 灯 不 看 来。 正月十五闻京师有灯恨不得观 李 商 隐 月 色 灯 山 满 帝 都， 香 车 宝 盖 隘 通 衢。 身 闲 不 睹 中 兴 盛， 羞 逐 乡 人 赛 紫 姑。 元 宵 (唐 寅) 有 灯 无 月 不 娱 人， 有 月 无 灯 不 算 春。 春 到 人 间 人 似， 玉 灯 烧 月下 月 如 。 满 街 珠 翠 游 村 女， 沸 地 笙 歌 赛 社 神。 不 展 芳 尊 开 口 笑， 如 何 消 得 此 良 辰。 元 夕 诗( 施 闰 章 ) 燕 台 夜 永 鼓 逢 逢， 猎 炬 金 樽 烂 漫 红， 列 第 侯 王 灯 市 里， 九 衢 士 女 月 明 中。 玉 萧 唱 遍 江 南 曲， 火 树 能 焚 塞 北 风。 惟 有 清 光 无 远 近， 他 乡 故 国 此 宵 同。 青 玉 案 （ 元 夕 ） 辛 弃 疾 东 风 夜 放 花 千 树， 更 吹 落 ， 星 如 雨。 宝 马 雕 车 香 满 路， 凤 萧 声 动 ， 壶 光 转， 一 夜 鱼 龙 舞。 蛾 儿 雪 柳 黄 金 缕， 笑 语 盈 盈 暗 香 去。 众 里 寻 他 千 百 度， 蓦 然 回 首， 那 人 却 在 火 阑 珊 处。 元 夕 影 永 冰 灯 唐 顺 之 正 怜 火 树 千 春 妍， 忽 见 清 辉 映 月 阑。 出 海 鲛 珠 犹 带 水， 满 堂 罗 袖 欲 生 寒。 烛 花 不 碍 空 中 影， 晕 气 疑 从 月 里 看。 为 语 东 风 暂 相 借， 来 宵 还 得 尽 余 欢。 汴 京 元 夕 (李 梦 阳) 中 山 孺 子 倚 新 妆， 郑 女 燕 姬 独 擅 场。 齐 唱 宪 王 春 乐 府， 金 梁 桥 外 如 霜。 京 都 元 夕 (元 好 问) 袨 服 华 妆 着 处 逢， 六 街 灯火 闹 儿 童。 长 衫 我 亦 何 为 者， 也 在 游 人 笑 语 中。

These lanterns are signposts to guide guests and spirits of ancestors to the Lunar celebration. After a sumptuous fifteen-day feast, these lanterns light the way for the spirits back to the world beyond.Silk, paper and plastic lanterns vary in shape and size and are usually multi-colored. Some are in the shapes of butterflies, birds, flowers, and boats. Other are shaped like dragon, fruit and animal symbols of that year. The most popular type of lantern is the "horse-racing" one, in which figures or animals rotate around the vertical axis of the lantern.The special food for the Lantern Festival is Yuen Sin or Tong Yuen. These are round dumplings made with sticky rice flour. They can be filled and served as a sweet snack or made plain and cooked in a soup with vegetables, meat and dried shrimp.

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.
and the food for lantern festival is Tang Yuan, i have made some Tang Yuanin a ginger soup, my wife got a serious cold, so i cooked a pot of ginger soupfor her. i look forward to the next spring festival
Festival of Lanterns.I spent the Festival of Lanterns with my grandparents this year.
My family went to my grandparents‘ home and had dinner with them.We had lots of sweetdumplins.After the dinner, my grandparents and I went out to play fireworks.
We had a very good time together.
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.
This is really an unforgettable Lantern Festival ah!
The Lantern Festival is a traditional festival in our country. Once the Lantern Festival is over, the Spring Festival is over, so this day is very ceremonious and lively. The main activities of people on this day are dragon dancing, lion dancing, setting off firecrackers and the more important is watching fireworks.
At more than 7 o clock in the evening, I was in a hurry to call my aunt took me to the Lantern Festival to see fireworks, on the road I saw a lot of people like me want to see fireworks, we all old and small family, seemed very happy.
To the yuanxiao field people mountain people sea, drums and gongs, but lively.
Only heard a few dull voice, a fireworks with red Mars fled on the sky, a few crisp sound, the night sky blooming out of a few beautiful flowers. Their shapes and colors are not the same, there are colorful stars, golden dandelion, purple morning glory, silver lily...... Colorful. How beautiful!
In the crisp sound of fireworks, people slightly raised a happy smile on the face!
After eating yuanxiao, we came to the top of the building, the big and round moon high in the sky and we watch fireworks, here is a good place to watch fireworks.
"Bang" a blunt sound, a big chrysanthemum in the air suddenly open, blooming from the core of countless colorful petals, suddenly the beautiful night sky decorated more colorful. 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.
I wanted to see the dragon dance, but there were too many people to squeeze in, so we had to go to the amusement park first. Playing for a while, my mother suddenly saw a big light, I was attracted by it, also ran past. Its so big, taller than Dad! Below is a small boat, above is a big bull, meaning we in this year of the ox smooth sailing.
The air was hung with all kinds of lights. There are lotus lamp, fish lamp, Jade Rabbit lamp, octagonal palace lamp...... They line up in a row, like a river of lights, the whole park are shining glittering and translucent bright.
Looked up, a big and round moon hanging in the sky, there are countless lanterns rising slowly. The Kongming Lantern was invented by Zhuge Kongming in the Three Kingdoms Period, also called wishing lamp, which brings good luck and happiness to people.
