the 15th day of the 1st lunar month is the chinese lantern festival because the first lunar month is called yuan-month and in the ancient times people called night xiao. the 15th day is the first night to see a full moon. so the day is also called yuan xiao festival in china.

according to the chinese tradition, at the very beginning of a new year, when there is a bright full moon hanging in the sky, there should be thousands of colorful lanterns hung out for people to appreciate. at this time, people will try to solve the puzzles on the lanterns and eat yuanxiao (glutinous rice ball) and get all their families united in the joyful atmosphere.

history

by the beginning of the tang dynasty in the seventh century, the lantern displays would last three days. the emperor also lifted the curfew(宵禁令), allowing the people to enjoy the festive lanterns day and night. it is not difficult to find chinese poems which describe this happy scene.

2月14日即是元宵节有是情人节。

这天家家户户要吃汤团、猜灯谜、放炮竹、赏花灯来庆祝元宵。

这天，爸爸教我包汤团。我们先把手洗干净，拿出一只碗。开始和面了，只见爸爸在碗里倒上大半的糯米粉，将少许水一点一点放进去，再用手绞了几下又放了点水。爸爸告诉我：注意每次放得水不能太多，少了可以再加，太多了会粘手。水够了，我和爸爸各分一半，我们用手来回的揉，直到不再粘手了，揉面的工序完成了。

开始包汤团了，我照着爸爸的样子，拿了一小团面，放在手掌中间挫一个小圆球，然后把右手的大拇指把插进刚揉好的面团，用筷子夹点芝麻馅放在刚弄的洞里，用四个手指配合大拇指一起往中间按，揉一揉又变成了圆形。我要把这个半成品放到碟子上面去时，爸爸叫住了我说：儿子，这样放上去可能会粘的，在糯米粉里滚一滚就不粘了。我照着爸爸的方法一试果然不粘了。照这样一连做了好几个，不一会二十个就完成了，个个洁白如玉，让人嘴馋。

晚上，我和爸爸到外面散步，此时的大街上灯火通明，四周挂满了火红的灯笼。天空闪耀着五彩的礼花，有的礼花在天空中像满天的星星一闪闪，有的似流星雨，一瞬间就消失在天际中。

我爱包汤团，但我更爱元宵节。
