Lantern Festival
　　The Lantern Festival was also a romantic festival in ancient China. In ancient times, women hardly stepped out of their houses. But during the Lantern Festival, everyone, regardless of age or gender, went out onto the streets to celebrate. All people were allowed to stay out for a long time. Through lighting lanterns, guessing lantern riddles and playing games, they had a chance to communicate with each other.
　　The Lantern Festival, also known in China as the Yuanxiao Festival, with a history of more than 2,000 years, falls on the 15th day of the first lunar month. Its arrival also marks the end of the Spring Festival celebrations.
译文
　　Nowadays, the meaning of love in the festival has been almost lost. At the festival, people perform dragon lantern dances and look forward to this year’s good weather and peace. Large lantern exhibitions are held throughout the country. In addition to viewing lanterns, eating yuanxiao or tangyuan cannot be missed at the festival. The round shape of yuanxiao symbolizes the family circle, and eating yuanxiao means the hope for family reunions. The Lantern Festival is the last day of Chinese New Year celebrations. For those working or studying away from home, it is time to set out on a journey in a new year.
译文
