元宵节

自汉朝 (公元前 206 年— 公元 221 年)起，元宵节就已成为了中国新年庆贺活动中的一部分了。一般阴历的正月十五为元宵节，这天也标记着新年庆贺活动的结束。

celebrations since the han dynasty (206 bc- 221 ad). usually

held on the 15th day of the first month of the lunar calendar, it

marks the end of new year festivities

听说元宵节由古代中国的一个传说演化而来，传言每至阴历第一个月圆之夜，即可看到天上飞动的神灵。为了更简单找寻神灵，他们都会用一些火把照明，而这些火把也渐渐由一些形状、大小、颜色各异的灯笼所代替。

light of the first full moon of the lunar calendar. to aid them in

元宵节广受喜欢的另一个原由在于：它也被看做中国的情人节，由于在过去，这天少男少女们能够利用这个可贵的时机夜晚一同出去约会。现在，在中国、香港、新加坡和台湾每年都会欢庆元宵节，以此作为中国新年庆贺的扫尾。同时这些地方每年也会举办一些竞赛来评比最正确彩灯。
