20 10 Lantern Festival composition in the Year of the Tiger

Today is the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, and today is the Lantern Festival. Lantern Festival, the ancients also called "Lantern Festival" and "Shangyuan Festival".

Traditionally, in China, after the Lantern Festival, the Spring Festival will be over, and everything will return to normal, so the last celebration will be held on this day. In ancient times, people attached great importance to the Lantern Festival.

Why is this festival called "Lantern Festival" on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month? It turns out that the ancients called night "night" and "yuan" meant "beginning" and "first". The fifteenth day of the first month is the first full moon night in a year, so it is called Lantern Festival.

Lantern Festival originated in Han Dynasty, and was paid attention to in Tang Dynasty, especially in Song Dynasty. The folk tradition in China is that on the Lantern Festival night when the moon is high, people will watch lanterns, solve riddles on the lanterns, eat Yuanxiao and have a family reunion.

Flower viewing lantern is the central activity of the Lantern Festival, and it is also called "Lantern Festival" among the people. The custom of watching lanterns on the Lantern Festival also originated in the Han Dynasty, and it flourished in the Sui and Tang Dynasties. During the reign of Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty, lanterns were hung everywhere in palaces, streets and alleys, which developed into a grand lantern market and built tall lantern trees, lantern wheels and even lantern buildings. In the Song Dynasty, the lantern viewing activities were more lively, lasting for five days, and the styles of lanterns were more abundant. Ouyang xiu, a great writer in the northern song dynasty, wrote in "born faults?" Yuan wrote: "Last year's Lantern Festival, the flower market was brightly lit", which fully reflected this magnificent scene. In the Ming Dynasty, the custom of appreciating lanterns reached its peak. It is stipulated that the lights will be turned off on the first day of the first month and on the fifteenth day of the first month. This is the longest Lantern Festival in China. In the Ming Dynasty, opera performances were added, and the Lantern Festival gradually evolved into a rich festival custom. Although the lantern viewing in Qing Dynasty lasted only three days, its scale was unprecedented. At this time, besides burning lanterns, firecrackers and fireworks are also set off to add fun.

Lantern Festival lanterns naturally have riddles. Lantern riddles began in the Southern Song Dynasty. After the development and creation of past dynasties, there are more than 100 kinds of lantern riddles still in use, such as foundation lattice, swing lattice, louver lattice, baitou lattice and Xu. Solve riddles on the lanterns, until today, is still the Lantern Festival.

Yuanxiao is always eaten on the Lantern Festival. Eating Lantern Festival began in the Song Dynasty, but it was called "floating Zi Yuan" at that time, and it was not called "Yuanxiao" until the Ming Dynasty. Yuanxiao is also called Tangyuan. It is said that after Yuan Shikai proclaimed himself emperor, he thought "Yuanxiao" was "Yuanxiao", so he ordered that "Yuanxiao" be changed to "Tangyuan". In the past, every household made Yuanxiao and ate glutinous rice balls, wishing the whole family reunion, harmony and happiness in the new year. For thousands of years, with the passage of time, the production of Yuanxiao has become more and more exquisite, delicious and diverse.

Since the Han Dynasty, with the passage of time, there have been more and more activities of the Lantern Festival. Playing dragon lanterns, playing lions, walking on stilts, rowing dry boats, dancing yangko, playing Taiping drums and other activities. , gradually increasing, coupled with opera performances. Lantern Festival became the last folk art performance during the Spring Festival, and its excitement was called "Carnival" in ancient China, so it was called "Lantern Festival" in many places.

Now, although the festive atmosphere of the Lantern Festival is much lighter than that in ancient times, it still maintains the unique charm of China's traditional culture, which has been paid more and more attention by China people in recent years, so many people now call for the Lantern Festival holiday in order to better carry forward our national cultural traditions.

This year's Lantern Festival is different from the previous Lantern Festival, because with the development of economy, people are getting richer and more beautiful. Last night, my parents and I went out to watch the lights. Although the weather in the north is extremely cold, the cold can't stop people's enthusiasm.

When I first arrived on the road, I saw a sea of people on the road. The whole road has become a "sidewalk", and there is no end to the crowd at a glance.

My parents and I joined Desheng Street in Guangming District with the crowd. I saw the big archway on Desheng Street, colorful, with "ten million" golden flashes hanging on the "high altitude" of six or seven meters, like a waterfall. It's really "doubtful that the golden river will fall." Gee, this is the first time I've seen so many strange lights. I can't even see it. Look, those colorful lanterns are really pleasing to the eye. There is a red "five-pointed star", a "cockerel" with its head held high, and a lively and lovely "little monkey" ... Look at that proud phoenix! . Two round spherical eyes emit white light. It's beautiful. I was dumbfounded.

We walked on, only to hear the song "You have to listen to me in my place ..." coming from somewhere. That must be the propaganda of the mobile communication company. Sure enough, there is a stage ahead. Although it is empty, there is a mobile phone next to it. (quite vivid, you can tell it is a mobile phone advertisement at a glance. ) There are animations on the mobile phone screen. Oh, no wonder I heard this song. I saw Jay Chou singing hard with a microphone on the screen! It seems that Lantern Festival is not only beautiful, but also full of business opportunities.

Jay Chou had just been sent away when Dao Lang came again. Because the familiar melody "The first snow in 2002 came later than before" is really leisurely. It turned out to be an advertisement for Jiuqu Yellow River Array. Look at the zigzag yellow river array, turning left and right, which is extremely exquisite. Just like on the road of life, although you turn left and right, you will eventually go out and win.

The moon gradually sinks in the west, and I reluctantly leave. But the people watching the lights are still in an endless stream, and all kinds of colored lights shine like stars in the sky. It' s really "a night of lanterns drunk, just because of spring."

Comments: The article describes the scenes and scenes of enjoying lanterns in the Lantern Festival, with certain scenery description and psychological description, which captures the characteristics of the Lantern Festival and is very detailed and clear. And can be extended to the topic of life, without trace, smooth and natural. The use of language is also good, and the quotation is more appropriate.

Just after seven o'clock, we came to Xincheng to see the lanterns. There are a sea of people here, and there are many kinds of lanterns with novel designs and different shapes.

Different, the whole street in front of the city government is full of fire trees and silver flowers, attracting thousands of people to watch; Some do business.

People came to set up stalls early, some came by car from the countryside dozens of miles away, and some children rode around his father's neck and hugged him.

Watching while eating Sugar-Coated Berry. At eight o'clock, next to the municipal party Committee building, fireworks bloomed in the air. Wow! What a beautiful night sky!

Ah! I see the dark blue sky is full of colorful fireworks, and the open fireworks are like colorful balls, like snowflakes, like

Meteors drag ribbons to make the dark night sky look like day, and make the Lantern Festival night extremely beautiful. I can simply

Fascinated.
