Lantern Festival falls on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month. This is the first full moon of the new year, symbolizing unity and perfection. Lantern Festival is an important part of Spring Festival , and marks the official end of the long holiday.元宵節是農歷正月的第十五天，這是新年的第一次滿月，象征著和睦和團圓。
元宵節是春節的一個重要組成部分，也象征著春節長假的正式結束。There are many legends concerning the origins of Lantern Festival.關于元宵節的來歷有很多傳說。
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.有一個傳說是這樣的，在古代，有一位神界天鵝闖入人間被獵手誤殺。天界最高的神玉皇大帝因此發誓為這只天鵝報仇。
他開始制定計劃，派出一支天兵天將于農歷正月十五來到人間，命令他們火燒所有的人和動物。但是其他神仙并不贊同這一計劃，他們冒著生命危險提醒人間的人們。
結果，在正月十五這一天前后，每一個家庭在門外掛起燈籠，并燃放煙花爆竹，給天兵天將造成各家各戶起火的假象。通過這種方式，人們成功騙過了玉皇大帝，人類也因此逃過滅絕的危險。
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 told Emperor Han Wudi that the Jade Emperor, the highest god in Heaven, had ordered the Fire God to burn down the capital city of Chang'an on the sixteenth day of the first lunar month. Anxious to find a way to save his city, the emperor asked Dongfang Shuo what he should do. Dongfang Shuo replied that the Fire God loved red lanterns more than anything. He advised that the streets be hung with red lanterns, and the emperor, empress, concubines, and court officials come out of the palace to see them. In this way, the Fire God would be distracted and disaster averted. The emperor followed Dongfang Shuo's advice, and while everyone was out viewing the lanterns, Yuanxiao was able to sneak out of the palace and be reunited with her parents.另外一個傳說發生在漢武帝時期。一位名叫元宵的宮女因身處深宮，沒法在正月十五與父母團聚盡孝。
為此，她欲跳井自盡。為了幫助元宵姑娘為父母盡孝，智者東方朔想出了一個計劃。
他告訴漢武帝，天界最高的神——玉皇大帝下令在正月十六火燒長安都。為了拯救長安城，漢武帝問東方朔該怎么辦。
東方朔回答說火神最愛大紅燈籠。他建議在街道上懸掛大紅燈籠，皇帝、皇后、六宮嬪妃和朝廷大臣都要外出觀賞燈籠。
這樣，火神的注意力就會被分散，災難也就可以避免了。皇帝采納了東方朔的建議，當所有人都外出賞燈時，元宵得以有機會溜出皇宮，和家人團圓。
Although the above stories are quite fantastical, it is sure that the origins of Lantern Festival are related to ancient humanity's use of fire to celebrate festivals and avert disaster. Since Lantern Festival involves making offerings to the deities and is celebrated at night, it is natural that fire would play an important role. Over time, Lantern Festival gradually evolved into its present form. When Buddhism was introduced to China during the Eastern Han Dynasty , the emperor decreed that on the night of the full moon of the first lunar month, lanterns should be lit to honor Buddha, adding yet another level of significance to Lantern Festival. And according to Daoism, Lantern Festival is associated with the primordial deities of Heaven and Fire, who were born on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month.雖然上述的傳說很神奇，但可以確定的是元宵節的起源必定跟古代人們使用火來慶祝節日、躲避災難有關。元宵節活動包括逃避邪神，且是在晚上慶祝，所以很自然地，火就扮演了很重要的角色。
隨著時間的流逝，元宵節逐漸演變為今天的形式。東漢時期，佛教傳入中國，皇帝下令，在正月第一個滿月。
2.元宵節的來歷英文
Lantern Festival The 15th day of the 1st lunar month is the Chinese Lantern Festival because the first lunar month is called yuan-month and in the ancient times people called night Xiao. The 15th day is the first night to see a full moon. So the day is also called Yuan Xiao Festival in China. There are many different beliefs about the origin of the Lantern Festival. But one thing for sure is that it had something to do with religious worship. One legend tells us that it was a time to worship Taiyi, the God of Heaven in ancient times. The belief was that the God of Heaven controlled the destiny of the human world. He had sixteen dragons at his beck and call and he decided when to inflict drought, storms, famine or pestilence（瘟疫）upon human beings. Beginning with Qinshihuang, the first emperor to unite the country, all subsequent emperors ordered splendid ceremonies each year. The emperor would ask Taiyi to bring favorable weather and good health to him and his people. Emperor Wudi of the Han Dynasty directed special attention to this event. In 104 BC, he proclaimed it one of the most important celebrations and the ceremony would last throughout the night. Another legend associates the Lantern Festival with Taoism. Tianguan is the Taoist god responsible for good fortune. His birthday falls on the 15th day of the first lunar month. It is said that Tianguan likes all types of entertainment. So followers prepare various kinds of activities during which they pray for good fortune. The third story about the origin of the festival is like this. Buddhism first entered China during the reign of Emperor Mingdi of the Eastern Han Dynasty. That was in the first century. However, it did not exert any great influence among the Chinese people. one day, Emperor Mingdi had a dream about a gold man in his palace. At the very moment when he was about to ask the mysterious figure who he was, the gold man suddenly rose to the sky and disappeared in the west. The next day, Emperor Mingdi sent a scholar to India on a pilgrimage（朝圣）to locate Buddhist scriptures. After journeying thousands of miles, the scholar finally returned with the scriptures. Emperor Mingdi ordered that a temple be built to house a statue of Buddha and serve as a repository for the scriptures. Followers believe that the power of Buddha can dispel darkness. So Emperor Mingdi ordered his subjects to display lighted lanterns during what was to become the Lantern Festival.。

Lantern Festival is a traditional festival in China. The formation of the custom of Lantern Festival has a long process. According to the general information and folklore, the 15th day of the first month has been paid attention to in the Western Han Dynasty.
Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty worshiped Taiyi in Ganquan Palace on the first day of the lunar month, which was regarded as the first step of worshiping God on the 15th day of the first month.
The introduction of Buddhist culture in the Eastern Han Dynasty is of great significance to the formation of the Lantern Festival custom. In the Yongping reign of Emperor Ming of Han Dynasty, in order to promote Buddhism, Emperor Ming of Han ordered to light a lamp to show Buddha in the palace and temple on the 15th night of the first month. Therefore, the custom of lighting lanterns on the 15th night of the first month gradually expanded in China with the expansion of the influence of Buddhist culture and the later addition of Taoist culture.
In the northern and Southern Dynasties, lantern festival became popular. Emperor Wudi of Liang believed in Buddhism, and his palace was full of lights on the 15th of the first month. In the Tang Dynasty, the cultural exchange between China and foreign countries was more close, Buddhism was booming, and the officials and people generally "lit lamps for Buddha" on the 15th day of the first month, so the Buddhist lights were all over the people. Since the Tang Dynasty, Lantern Festival has become a legal thing, and gradually become a folk custom.
翻譯如下：
元宵節是中國的傳統節日，元宵節俗的形成有一個較長的過程，據一般的資料與民俗傳說，正月十五在西漢已經受到重視。
漢武帝正月“上辛夜”在甘泉宮祭祀“太一”的活動，被后人視作正月十五祭祀天神的先聲。
東漢佛教文化的傳入，對于形成元宵節俗有著重要的推動意義。漢明帝永平年間，漢明帝為了弘揚佛法，下令正月十五夜在宮中和寺院“燃燈表佛”。因此正月十五夜燃燈的習俗隨著佛教文化影響的擴大及后來道教文化的加入逐漸在中國擴展開來。
南北朝時，元宵張燈漸成風氣。梁武帝篤信佛教，其宮中正月十五日大張燈火。唐朝時，中外文化交流更為密切，佛教大興，仕官百姓普遍在正月十五這一天“燃燈供佛”，佛家燈火于是遍布民間。從唐代起，元宵張燈即成為法定之事，并逐漸成為民間習俗。

If you see a lady in red wearing green pants riding a black horse on that day, you should ask for her mercy." On that day, Yuan-Xiao pretended to be the red fairy lady.

He will watch from the heavens.I will give you a copy of the imperial decree from the God of Fire. You should go to ask your emperor to find a way out." After she left, people went to the palace to show the emperor the decree which reads "The capital city is in trouble. Fire burns on the palace, and fire from Heaven burns all night long on the 15th." The emperor of Han Dynasty was very shocked. He called and asked Mr. Eastern for advice. After pondering for a while, Mr. Eastern said, "I heard that the God of Fire likes to eat Tang-Yuan (Sweet dumpling). Does Yuan-Xiao often cook Tang-Yuan for you? On the 15th lunar day, let Yuan-Xiao make * Majesty will take charge of the worshipping ceremony and you will give an order to every house to prepare Tang-Yuan to worship the God of Fire at the same time. Also, deliver another order to ask every house in the city to hang red lantern and explode fire crackers. Lastly, everyone in the palace and people outside the city should carry their lanterns on the street to watch the lantern decoration and fireworks. If everything goes this way, the Jade Emperor would be * everyone can avoid the fire accident." The emperor happily followed the plan. Lanterns were everywhere in the capital city on the night of the 15th lunar day. People were walking on the street. Fire crackers kept making lots of noise. It looked like the entire city was on fire. Yuan-Xiao's parents went into the palace to watch the lantern decorations, and Yuan-Xiao made a big lantern and wrote her name on the lantern. They happily reunited together after her parents called her name. Everybody was safe during the night. The emperor of Han Dynasty had a new order that people should do the same thing every year. Since Yuan-Xiao cooked the best Tan-Yuan, people called the day Yuan-Xiao Festival.譯文：這一則傳說與吃元宵的習俗有關：相傳漢武帝有個寵臣名叫東方朔，他善良又風趣。
有一年冬天，下了幾天大雪 ，東方朔就到御花園去給武帝折梅花。剛進園門，就發現有個宮女淚流滿面準備投井。
東方朔慌忙上前搭救，并問明她要自殺的原因。原來，這個宮女名叫元宵，家里還有雙親及一個妹妹，自從她進宮以后，就再也無緣 東方朔與元宵姑娘的傳說和家人見面，每年到了臘盡春來的時節，就比平常更加的思念家人。
覺得不能在雙親跟前盡孝，不如一死了之。東方朔聽了她的遭遇，深感同情，就向她保證，一定設法讓她和家人團聚。
一天，東方朔出宮在長安街上擺了一個占卜攤。不少人都爭著向他占卜求卦。
不料，每個人所占所求，都是“正月十六火焚身”的簽語。一時之間，長安里起了很大恐慌。
人們紛紛求問解災的辦法。東方朔就說：“正月十五日傍晚，火神君會派一位赤衣神女下凡查訪，她就是奉旨燒長安的使者，我把抄錄的偈語給你們，可讓當今天子想想辦法。”
說完，便扔下一張紅帖，揚長而去。老百姓拿起紅帖，趕緊送到皇宮去稟報皇上。
漢武帝接過來一看，只見上面寫著：“長安在劫，火焚帝闕，十五天火，焰紅宵夜”，他心中大驚，連忙請來了足智多謀的東方朔。東方朔假意的想了一想，就說：“聽說火神君最愛吃湯圓，宮中的元宵不是經常給你做湯圓嗎？十五晚上可讓元宵做好湯圓。
萬歲焚香。
