元宵节记事
今晚，妈妈带我去中山公园看花灯。刚进中山公园，我的目光立刻就被旁边的一丛花形的灯吸引过去了。那花型灯五彩缤纷，鲜艳夺目，有的大，有的小。整丛花就像一块磁铁，而我就像一枚铁钉，目光久久地停留在那里，迟迟不肯离开。
妈妈提醒我，既是来看花灯，应该每个都看，不能老半天才看一个花灯啊！我不由自主地随着人群继续前进。随后我又看见了一个花灯。几只狗围成一圈，上面有只小狗，背上坐着一个小孩，他满脸兴奋，手里还拿着一把翠绿色的如意杖。
这时，我看到了许老师所说的名字叫神州六号的那艘火箭。我只能看见上面的火箭，下面是什么样，完全看不到。因为人山人海的，要想看个花灯，折腾个半天，恐怕只能看到一些部分，还真不容易呢！

The Lantern Festival or Yuanxiao Jie is a traditional Chinese festival, which is on the 15th of the first month of the Chinese New Year. The festival marks the end of the celebrations of the Chinese New Year.
Chinese started to celebrate the Lantern Festival from the Han Dynasty (206 BC - 221 AD). Like most other Chinese festivals, there is also a story behind the Festival. It is also believed that the festival has Taoist origins.
This is a festival for people having fun. On the night of the festival, people go on streets with a variety of lanterns under the full moon, watching lions or dragon dancing, playing Chinese riddles and games, and lighting up firecrackers. There is really a lot of fun for the young and the old.
Yuanxiao (glutinous rice ball) or Tangyuan is the special food for the Lantern Festival. It is believed that Yuanxiao is named after a palace maid, Yuanxiao, of Emperor Wu Di of the Han Dynasty. Yuanxiao is a kind of sweet dumpling, which is made with sticky rice flour filled with sweet stuffing.
Yuanxiao is sticky, sweet and round in shape, symbolizing family unity, completeness and happiness.
