元宵节 Lantern Festival
正月十五是元宵节。在中文里,“元“含有“第一“的意思,而“宵“是“晚上,夜晚“的意思。元宵就是新年中第一次能看到满月的那天。元宵节是举家团圆的日子。在那天,人们会把各种各样的花灯挂出来以增添节日的气氛,而那天最受欢迎的食品便是元宵(也称汤团)了。
The Lantern Festival (also called Yuanxiao Festival) is on the 15th day of the first Chinese lunar month. Yuan literally means first, while Xiao refers to night. Yuanxiao is the first time when we see the full moon in the new year. It is traditionally a time for family reunion. The displaying of lanterns is a big event on that day, and another important part of the Festival is eating small dumpling balls made of glutinous rice flour. We call these balls Yuanxiao(also called Tangtuan).
