元宵节文化习俗作文(2)

　　篇2：元宵节文化习俗作文

　　元宵节到了，民间有三个习俗：一、吃元宵；二、看花灯；3、放烟花，今天我就在这儿说一说。

　　元宵有很多种口味：黑芝麻等等，其中我最爱吃黑芝麻的了，外皮滑溜溜的,咬一口馅就出来了，不是那么甜得发腻，也没有那么淡。好吃！嘻……

　　我们也去看了花灯。刚入广场大门，可以看到两只高抬着头的凤凰，下面整齐地站着卖荧光棒的小贩，嘴里不停喊着："走过路过别错过！""走一走，看一看！"走到中间，看见一个大碗，釉色清晰明朗，真像明代的青花瓷！上面有一个个元宵，诱人啊……碗的下面还有还有"配餐"：大葱、辣椒、彩椒、西红柿。大碗的前面是一个小舞台，舞台后有八只张牙舞爪的长龙，威风凛凛。大碗的后面是三座冰雕，全是具有古典风格的房屋，还插了一个牌子：小心有电！大碗的左面是十二生肖有牛、虎、羊……咦？这是老鼠还是松鼠？我一下看见了兔子，我指着喊"妈！"（我妈咪属兔的）妈笑着说："小坏蛋！"大碗的右面也是小动物造型的灯。

　　晚上，我们看了烟花。呵！从铁人广场一直排出两、三千米，这也验证了一个谜语：世界上最长的车是什么车？答：堵车。我不耐烦了，和妈咪下车看。烟花有红色、橙色、金黄色、绿色、紫色，那最好看的烟花也是最大的：砰，砰，砰，三个金黄色的烟花，形成了一个金黄色的树，漂亮极了。还有"黄金瀑布"、"变色花"……

　　今年，我们欢欢喜喜的闹了元宵节。

　　篇3：元宵节文化习俗作文

　　The Lantern Festival falls on the 15th day of the 1st lunar month, usually in February or March in the Gregorian calendar. As early as the Western Han Dynasty (206 BC-AD 25), it had become a festival with great significance.

　　This day's important activity is watching lanterns. Throughout the Han Dynasty (206 BC-AD 220), Buddhism flourished in China. 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.

　　Till today, the lantern festival is still held each year around the country. Lanterns of various shapes and sizes are hung in the streets, attracting countless visitors. Children will hold self-made or bought lanterns to stroll with on the streets, extremely excited. "Guessing lantern riddles"is an essential part of the Festival.

　　Lantern owners write riddles on a piece of paper and post them on the lanterns. If visitors have solutions to the riddles, they can pull the paper out and go to the lantern owners to check their answer. If they are right, they will get a little gift. The activity emerged during people's enjoyment of lanterns in the Song Dynasty (960-1279). As riddle guessing is interesting and full of wisdom, it has become popular among all social strata.

　　People will eat yuanxiao, or rice dumplings, on this day, so it is also called the "Yuanxiao Festival."Yuanxiao also has another name, tangyuan. It is small dumpling balls made of glutinous rice flour with rose petals, sesame, bean paste, jujube paste, walnut meat, dried fruit, sugar and edible oil as filling. Tangyuan can be boiled, fried or steamed. It tastes sweet and delicious. What’s more, tangyuan in Chinese has a similar pronunciation with "tuanyuan”, meaning reunion. So people eat them to denote union, harmony and happiness for the family.
