元宵节英语：自制元宵做法

The Lantern Festival or Yuanxiao Jie is a traditional Chine

festival, which is on the 15th of the first month of the Chine

New Year. The festival marks the end of the celebrations of the

Chine New Year.

“灯节”或者叫做“元宵节”是中国的传统佳节，在每年的农历正月

十五这一天庆祝。元宵节的到来也标志着春节的完毕。

Chine started to celebrate the Lantern Festival from the Han

Dynasty （206 BC - 221 AD）. Like most other Chine festivals, there

is also a story behind the Festival. It is also believed that the

festival has Taoist origins.

元宵节的传统可以追溯到西汉时期，像其他的传统节日一样，关于元

宵节也有一个漂亮的传奇。据说，与道家的传统有关。

This is a festival for people having fun. On the night of the

festival, people go on streets with a variety of lanterns under the

full moon, watching lions or dragon dancing, playing Chine

riddles and games, and lighting up firecrackers. There is really

a lot of fun for the young and the old.

按中国民间的传统，在这天上皓月高悬的夜晚，人们要点起彩灯万盏，

以示庆贺。出门赏月、燃灯放焰、喜猜灯谜、共吃元宵，合家团聚、同庆

佳节，其乐融融。

Yuanxiao （glutinous rice ball） or Tangyuan is the special food

for the Lantern Festival. It is believed that Yuanxiao is named

after a palace maid, Yuanxiao, of Emperor Wu Di of the Han Dynasty.

Yuanxiao is a kind of sweet dumpling, which is made with sticky rice

flour filled with sweet stuffing.

元宵（黏米团子）或者叫做汤圆是元宵节这一天必吃的食物。相传汉

武帝时宫中有一位宫女，名叫“元宵”，常年幽于宫中，思念父母，终日

以泪洗面。大臣东方朔决心帮忙她，于是对汉武帝谎称，火神奉玉帝之命

于正月十五火烧长安，要逃过动难，的方法是让“元宵姑娘” 在正月十

五这天做许多火神爱吃的汤圆，并由全体臣民张灯供奉。武帝准凑，“元

宵姑娘”最终见到家人。此后，便形成了元宵节。元宵这种食物实际上是

甜馅“饺子”的一种，用粘糯米和甜的馅料制成。

Yuanxiao is sticky, sweet and round in shape, symbolizing

family unity, completeness and happiness.

You can find Yuanxiao in oriental food stores. If you enjoy

cooking, here is a recipe of Yuanxiao for you.
