as early as the Western Han Dynasty more than 2,000 years ago,

existed, and Lantern Festival lanterns began in the Eastern

Han Emperor Ming period, the Emperor Ming to promote Buddhism,

I heard that the Buddhist concept of the first month on the

15th Buddhist monk relic, to light lamps Jingfo practice, we

Nobles. After this Buddhist ritual evolved folk festival

元宵节是中国的传统节日之一,早在2000多年前在西汉就存有了,元宵赏灯始于东汉明帝时期,明帝提倡佛教,听说佛教有正月十五日僧人观佛舍利,点灯敬佛的做法,就命令这个天夜晚在皇宫和寺庙里点灯敬佛,令士族庶民都挂灯。以后这种佛教礼仪节日逐渐形成民间盛大的节日。

There are many legends concerning the origins of Lantern

Festival. 关于元宵节的来历有很多传说。

According to one legend, once in ancient times, a

celestial swan came into the mortal world where it was shot

down by a hunter. The Jade Emperor, the highest god in Heaven,

vowed to avenge the swan. He started making plans to send a

troop of celestial soldiers and generals to Earth on the

fifteenth day of the first lunar month, with orders to

incinerate all humans and animals. But the other celestial

beings disagreed with this course of action, and risked their

lives to warn the people of Earth. As a result, before and

after the fifteenth day of the first month, every family hung

red lanterns outside their doors and set off firecrackers and

fireworks, giving the impression that their homes were

already burning. By successfully tricking the Jade Emperor in

this way, humanity was saved from extermination.

有一个传说是这样的,在古代,有一位神界天鹅闯入人间被猎手误杀。天界的神玉皇大帝所以发誓为这只天鹅报仇。他开始制定计划,派出一支天兵天将于农历正月十五来到人间,命令他们火烧所有的人和动物。但是其他神仙并不赞同这个计划,他们冒着生命危险提醒人间的人们。结果,在正月十五这个天前后,每一个家庭在门外挂起灯笼,并燃放烟花爆竹,给天兵天将造成各家各户起火的假象。通过这种方式,人们成功骗过了玉皇大帝,人类也所以逃过灭绝的危险。

According to another legend, during the time of Emperor

Han Wudi of the Han Dynasty , a palace woman named Yuanxiao

was prevented from carrying out her filial duty of visiting

her parents on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month.

Distraught, she said she would kill herself by jumping into a

well. In order to help Yuanxiao fulfill her duty as a filial

daughter, the scholar Dongfang Shuo came up with a scheme. He
