The annual Lantern Festival is here again, and the Lantern Festival, also known as the Shangyuan Festival, is another traditional festival ushered in after the Spring Festival.
The Lantern Festival was there as early as 2,000 years ago in the Western Han Dynasty, the Lantern Festival began in the period of Emperor Ming of the Eastern Han Dynasty, Emperor Ming advocated Buddhism, I heard that Buddhism has the fifteenth day of the first month of the monk to view the Buddha relics, the practice of lighting the lamp to worship the Buddha, ordered this night in the palace and the temple to light the lamp to worship the Buddha, so that the scholars and the common people all hang the lamp. Later, this kind of Buddhist ritual festival gradually formed a folk grand festival. As far as the length of the festival is concerned, the Han Dynasty is only one day, to the Tang Dynasty has been three days, the Song Dynasty is as long as five days, the Ming Dynasty is from the eighth day of the first month, until the night of the seventeenth day of the first month, the whole ten days.
The years have passed, but many of the folk customs of the Lantern Festival are still very popular. For example, dragon dance, lion dance, running dry boats, stepping on stilts, twisting Yangge, guessing lantern riddles, setting off fireworks and other activities add luster to the Lantern Festival.
In addition to these activities, the Lantern Festival also has the custom of wrapping the Lantern Festival. Today I was fortunate enough to go to my grandmother's house with my parents, and I happened to meet my grandmother in Bao Lantern Festival, so I learned from my grandmother. Grandma first used boiling water to mix glutinous rice flour, and then continued to knead the dough vigorously, always kneading it like plasticine with toughness, and then kneading the dough into the shape of a pagoda, pulling down a piece of dough from the top of the "pagoda", kneading it into a round ball, digging a hole in the middle, kneading the hole with two hands, putting the prepared bean paste filling in this hole, slowly pinching it with your thumb and index finger, and then sealing the hole, and finally, putting the finished Lantern Festival in the palm of your hand, and rubbing the Lantern Festival with both hands softly, so that the Lantern Festival is done.
After watching my grandmother wrap the Lantern Festival, my hands couldn't help but itch, and I rolled up my sleeves and wrapped them. Although I wrapped a few Lantern Festival fillings, the size is not the same.
1. Strange shape, but still praised by my grandmother.
The last process is to cook the Lantern Festival, we put the Lantern Festival in the boiling water, and after a while, the water boiled, and the Lantern Festival floated on the water one by one. It's really eye-catching to see this white flowery and round Lantern Festival! We all ate this hot Lantern Festival, and our hearts felt very comfortable, and my face was full of smiles and said happily
The Lantern Festival symbolizes the sweetness and sweetness of our lives, and the reunion of our families.

On the day of the Lantern Festival, there are many lanterns in the square! So, that night, our whole family went to see the lanterns.
Wow, what a variety of lights! There is a "happy home" here; There's a "Golden Pig Moon" over there, which is so beautiful! Take this "happy house", for example, the exterior is in the shape of a house, dotted with many small flowers and colored lights; Inside are three words and three paintings.
They make up a beautiful "happy home". There is also the "Golden Pig Moon", a little pig stands on the crooked crescent moon, the moon is gently shaking, and the little pig and the moon are lit up with colorful lights, which is very beautiful. My favorite is the "Golden Pig Blessing".
A cute fat pig is tied with a ribbon, and the end of the ribbon is tied with a big word "Fu", and the fat pig seems to be here to send us blessings, as if he is still saying: "2007 is here, the Year of the Golden Pig of Wangfu is here, I will give you all my blessings!" "Well, aren't these lights attractive?
After seeing the lanterns, we went to see the flowers.
I saw a firecracker rush into the dark blue night, and then it was in the air**. The fireworks burst into green sparks, which shimmered green and slowly disappeared into the air. Later, the ceremonial flowers also burst into red, yellow, blue, and silver ......Yes, in the new year, I will be like that.
