Suddenly a "missile" flew into the sky like a plane, exploding in the sky, and the colorful "paratroopers" fell. When it gets to the ground, it disappears. A few "meteors" streaked through the sky, looking at the meteor, flashing and flying toward the clouds. Then there were countless little fireworks, and the noise of the small gift of thunder scared me and my brother to cover my ears, and in a few moments the little flower was gone.
The night of the Lantern Festival is lively, the people who look at the lights are people, people are smiling, I thought it was a dream, but this is really true.

the chinese new year is now popularly known as the spring festival because it starts from the begining of spring (the first of the twenty-four terms in coodination with the changes of nature). its origin is too old to be traced. several explanations are hanging around. all agree, however, that the word nian, which in modern chinese solely means year, was originally the name of a monster beast that started to prey on people the night before the beginning of a new year.
one legend goes that the beast nian had a very big mouth that would swallow a great many people with one bite. people were very scared. one day, an old man came to their rescue, offering to subdue nian. to nian he said, i hear say that you are very capable, but can you swallow the other beasts of prey on earth instead of people who are by no means of your worthy opponents? so, it did swallow many of the beasts of prey on earth that also harrassed people and their domestic animals from time to time.
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.
The coming of Lantern Festival is various. Some people said that it is related with Buddha. When the Buddhas meditated, they need light in front of them, so the light can drive away 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.
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.

The materials are ready in a little while, and Im going to start learning to wrap up the Lantern Festival! My mother taught me the flour and the sticky, and then a little bit out to make a circle. Then use your fingers to press down one side of the circle, then stuffed with some meat inside, the opening of the concave pinch. A juicy and delicious lantern is wrapped up. The abrupt father asked me, "do you know the origin of the Lantern Festival?" I shook my head. So dad said to me: "the first month is the first month, the ancients call the night" night ", and the fifteen day is the first full moon in a year, so the fifteen is the Lantern Festival. Also known as the "Lantern Festival". It is said that early in the Han Emperor period, has been fifteen month as the Lantern Festival, when Emperor Wu created the "tachu calendar", further affirmed the importance of the Lantern festival. The Lantern Festival period, and continue to extend with the history of development, according to legend of the Tang Dynasty lantern only lasted for three days, the Song Dynasty is extended to five days, and after the Ming Dynasty, increased to ten days, from the eighth day to start activities, until seventeen years before the end of. The Lantern Festival originated in the Han Dynasty, the Han emperor is said to commemorate the "Ping Lu" and set up. The Han emperor after the death of Liu Ying, the empress of the clan dominated court politics. Zhou Chenping et al in lvhou died, except after Lu Ping forces, crowned Liu Heng for the Han emperor. Because the day is calm Lu fifteen January, each year since fifteen January night, Emperor Wen Di to the palace, and to have fun with the citizens to commemorate the fifteen day, as the Lantern festival.

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.
元宵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。以后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。
