A Brief Introduction of the Lantern Festival

元宵節概述

The Lantern Festival occurs on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month according to the old Chinese calendar,when a full moon provides enough light for the various ceremonies and activities traditionally held throughout China. Customarily,family members reunite for a meal of Yuanxiao,round, sweet dumplings made of glutinous rice flour served in soup,which symbolize a wish for the family's happiness and good luck all year.

根據舊中國曆法，元宵節在農曆正月的第十五天，當滿月提供足夠的光線舉行各種儀式和活動時，傳統上貫穿整個中國。習慣上，家庭成員元宵團聚在一起吃一頓飯，用糯米粉做成的圓形湯圓出現在飯桌上，這象徵着希望家庭幸福和好運連年。
