新年对中国人来说是最大的节日。在这之后约半个月,有一个传统的节日——元宵节,这也是很重要的。新年的第一轮圆月是特别的。人们继续庆祝新年,享受与家人在一起的时光。
The coming of Lantern Festival is various. Some people said that it is related with Buddha. When the Buddhas meditated, they need light in front of them, so the light can drive away monster for people. Today, in some areas, people light up lanterns to beg for a son from god. No matter what the story is, the traditional festival is favored by people and the government pays special attention to remind this tradition.
元宵节的来源有多种说法。有些人说它与佛有关。当佛陀冥想时,他们需要点灯,所以光对于人们来说可以赶走怪物。今天,在一些地区,人们会点亮灯,向上帝祈求要一个儿子。无论故事是怎么样的,传统节日都受到人们的喜爱,政府也特别重视这一传统。
