关于元宵节的来历有很多传说。

There are many legends concerning the origins of Lantern Festival.


有一个传说是这样的,在古代,有一位神界天鹅闯入人间被猎手误杀。天帝知道后震怒,让天兵天将于农历正月十五来到人间,火烧所有的人和动物。但是其他神仙并不赞同这一计划,他们冒着生命危险提醒人间的人们。结果,在正月十五这一天前后,每一个家庭在门外挂起灯笼,并燃放烟花爆竹,给天兵天将造成各家各户起火的假象。通过这种方式,人们成功骗过了天帝,人类也因此逃过危险。从此,每到正月十五,家家户户都高悬灯笼,大放烟火来纪念这个日子。

  

According to one legend, once in ancient times, a celestial swan came into the mortal world where it was shot down by a hunter. The Jade Emperor, the highest god in Heaven, vowed to avenge the swan. He started making plans to send a troop of celestial soldiers and generals to Earth on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, with orders to incinerate all humans and animals. But the other celestial beings disagreed with this course of action, and risked their lives to warn the people of Earth. As a result, before and after the fifteenth day of the first month, every family hung red lanterns outside their doors and set off firecrackers and fireworks, giving the impression that their homes were already burning. By successfully tricking the Jade Emperor in this way, humanity was saved from extermination.

正月十五吃元宵,在我国是由来已久习俗。人们在元宵节吃汤圆,实际上是思念亲人、渴望团圆的意思。

猜灯谜

赏灯是元宵节的一个重要项目。灯谜是元宵灯节派生出来的一种文字游戏,也叫灯虎。将谜面贴在花灯上供人猜射,谜底多着眼于文字意义,并有谜格24种,常用的有卷帘、秋千、求凤等格,已形成了一种独特的民俗文化。


身穿雪白外衣, 

心里香甜如蜜。 

正月十五沿街卖, 

过了正月没人提。


 赏花灯

汉明帝永平年间(公元58--75),因明帝提倡佛法,适逢蔡�从印度求得佛法归来,称印度摩喝陀国每逢正月十五,僧众云集瞻仰佛舍利,是参佛的吉日良辰。汉明帝为了弘扬佛法,下令正月十五夜在宫中和寺院"燃灯表佛"。此后,元宵放灯的习俗就由原来只在宫廷中举行而流传到民间。即每到正月十五,无论士族还是庶民都要挂灯,城乡通宵灯火辉煌。
