2023年中考英语最新热点时文阅读-中国传统节日（2022・四川绵阳・一模）The Lantern Festival falls on the 15th day of the first lunar month, marking the end of the Spring Festival celebrations.At this festival, people often watch lanterns, which are in any size and shape you can imagine, from animals to plants and flowers. Another activity, guessing the answers to lantern riddles gives young people a chance to have more fun. Chinese people regard the dragon as a symbol of auspiciousness （吉祥）.So people also perform dragon lantern dances to look forward to a good omen （征3K） of this year's good weather and peace. Lion dance is similar to the dragon lantern dancer delivering good wishes and good luck. Eating yuanxiao at the Lantern Festival is another tradition. Yuanxiao is made of glutinous （黏的）rice, either solid or stuffed. The stuffing includes bean paste, sugar, hawthorn （山楂），various kinds of fruit and so on. It can be boiled, fired or steamed.The Lantern Festival also seemed romantic in the old times. Because some young girls in ancient China were not allowed to go out very often except during certain festivals, this festival was a time for unmarried men and women to meet. Watching lanterns at night was just an opportunity fbr young women to find a man who attracted them. Therefore, fbr thousands of years, there have been a large number of stories and poems written about these during the Lantern Festival. The famous Song Dynasty poet Ou Yangxiu wrote the well- known lines: Atop the willow tree hangs the moon, my date comes in the evening soon.Today, more youngsters are fascinated with Western festivals, while traditional Chinese ones are ignored. Our traditional values are in danger of losing their true meanings. What should we do? 本文介绍中国的传统节日农历二月初二龙抬头。
