The first day of the Lunar New Year is "the welcoming of the gods of the heavens and earth."Many people abstain from meat on the first day of the new year because it is believed that this will ensure long and happy lives for them.
On the second day, the Chinese pray to their ancestors as well as to all the gods. They are extra kind to dogs and feed them well as it is believed that the second day is the birthday of all dogs.
The third and fourth days are for the sons-in-laws to pay respect to their parents-in-law.
The fifth day is called Po Woo. On that day people stay home to welcome the God of Wealth. No one visits families and friends on the fifth day because it will bring both parties bad luck.
On the sixth to the 10th day, the Chinese visit their relatives and friends freely. They also visit the temples to pray for good fortune and health.

元宵節是中國的壹個傳統節日，在農歷的新年第壹個月的第十五天慶祝。元宵節是中國最大的節日之壹。在元宵節到來的前幾天，人們就開始做燈籠，動物，蔬菜，水果，各式各樣的都有，還有謎語。在元宵節前夜，所有的燈籠都掛起來。元宵節這天，人們看燈籠和猜謎語，精彩的民間表演龍舞和秧歌。
6.求 關於元宵節的英語作文元宵節來歷 元宵節是中國的傳統節日，早在2000多年前的西漢就有了，元宵賞燈始於東漢明帝時期，明帝提倡佛教，聽說佛教有正月十五日僧人觀佛舍利，點燈敬佛的做法，就命令這壹天夜晚在皇宮和寺廟裏點燈敬佛，令士族庶民都掛燈。
以後這種佛教禮儀節日逐漸形成民間盛大的節日。該節經歷了由宮廷到民間，由中原到全國的發展過程。
在漢文帝時，已下令將正月十五定為元宵節。漢武帝時，“太壹神”的祭祀活動定在正月十五。
（太壹：主宰宇宙壹切之神）。司馬遷創建“太初歷”時，就已將元宵節確定為重大節日。
另有壹說是元宵燃燈的習俗起源於道教的“三元說”；正月十五日為上元節，七月十五日為中元節，十月十五日為下元節。主管上、中、下三元的分別為天、地、人三官，天官喜樂，故上元節要燃燈。
元宵節的節期與節俗活動，是隨歷史的發展而延長、擴展的。就節期長短而言，漢代才壹天，到唐代已為三天，宋代則長達五天，明代更是自初八點燈，壹直到正月十七的夜裏才落燈，整整十天。
與春節相接，白晝為市，熱鬧非凡，夜間燃燈，蔚為壯觀。特別是那精巧、多彩的燈火，更使其成為春節期間娛樂活動的高潮。
至清代，又增加了舞龍、舞獅、跑旱船、踩高蹺、扭秧歌等“百戲”內容，只是節期縮短為四到五天。 關於元宵節的來歷，民間還有幾種有趣的傳說： 1關於燈的傳說 傳說在很久以前，兇禽猛獸很多，四處傷害人和牲畜，人們就組織起來去打它們， 有壹只神鳥困為迷路而降落人間，卻意外的被不知情的獵人給射死了。
天帝知道後十分震怒，立即傳旨，下令讓天兵於正月十五日到人間放火，把人間的人畜財產通通燒死。 天帝的女兒心地善良，不忍心看百姓無辜受難，就冒著生命的危險，偷偷駕著祥雲來到人間，把這個消息告訴了人們。
眾人聽說了這個消息，有如頭上響了壹個焦雷。嚇得不知如何是好，過了好久，才有個老人家想出個法子，他說：「在正月十四、十五、十六日這三天，每戶人家都在家裏張燈結彩、點響爆竹、燃放煙火。
這樣壹來，天帝就會以為人們都被燒死了」。 大家聽了都點頭稱 是，便分頭準備去了。
到了正月十五這天晚上，天帝往下壹看，發覺人間壹片紅光，響聲震天，連續三個夜晚都是如此，以為是大火燃燒的火焰，以中大快。人們就這樣保住了自己的生命及財產。
為了紀念這次成功，從此每到正月十五，家家戶戶都懸掛燈籠，放煙火來紀念這個日子。 2漢文帝時為紀念“平呂”而設 另壹個傳說是元宵節是漢文帝時為紀念“平呂”而設。
漢高祖劉邦死後，呂後之子劉盈登基為漢惠帝。惠帝生性懦弱，優柔寡斷，大權漸漸落再呂後手中.漢惠帝病死後呂後獨攬朝政把劉氏天下變成了呂氏天下，朝中老臣，劉氏宗室深感憤慨，但都懼怕呂後殘暴而敢怒不敢言. 呂後病死後，諸呂惶惶不安害怕遭到傷害和排擠。
於是，在上將軍呂祿家中秘密集合，***謀作亂之事，以便徹底奪取劉氏江山。 此事傳至劉氏宗室齊王劉囊耳中，劉囊為保劉氏江山，決定起兵討伐諸呂隨後與開國老臣周勃，陳平取得聯系，設計解除了呂祿，“諸呂之亂”終於被徹底平定. 平亂之後，眾臣擁立劉邦的第二個兒子劉恒登基，稱漢文帝.文帝深感太平盛世來之不易，便把平息“諸呂之亂”的正月十五，定為與民同樂日，京城裏家家張燈結彩，以示慶祝。
從此，正月十五便成了壹個普天同慶的民間節日——“鬧元宵”。 3東方朔與元宵姑娘 這壹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。
有壹天冬天，下了幾天大雪 ，東方朔就到禦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，並問明她要自殺的原因。原來，這個宮女名叫元宵，家裏還有雙親及壹個妹妹。
自從她進宮以後，就再也無緣和家人見面。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，不如壹死了之。東方朔聽了她的遭遇，深感同情，就向她保證，壹定設法讓她和家人團聚。
壹天，東方朔出宮在長安街上擺了壹個占蔔攤。不少人都爭著向他占蔔求卦。
不料，每個人所占所求，都是“正月十六火焚身”的簽語。壹時之間，長安裏起了很大恐慌。
人們紛紛求問解災的辦法。東方朔就說：“正月十三日傍晚，火神君會派壹位赤衣神女下凡查訪，她就是奉旨燒長安的使者，我把抄錄的偈語給妳們，可讓當今天子想想辦法。”
說完，便扔下壹張紅帖，揚長而去。老百姓拿起紅帖，趕緊送 到皇宮去稟報皇上。
漢武帝接過來壹看，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。東方朔假意的想了壹想，就說：“聽說火神君最愛吃湯圓，宮中的元宵不是經常給妳做湯圓嗎？十五晚上可讓元宵做好湯圓。
萬歲焚香上供，傳令京都家家都做湯圓，壹齊敬奉火神君。再傳諭臣民壹起在十五晚上掛燈，滿城點鞭炮、放煙火，好像滿城大火，這樣就可以瞞過玉帝了。
此外，通知城外百姓，十五晚上進城觀燈，雜在人群中消災解難”。武帝聽後，十分高興，就傳旨照東方朔的辦法去做。
到了正月十五日長安城裏張燈結彩，遊人熙來攘。
7.寫元宵節的英語短文（5—8句話）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.
According to the Chinese tradition, at the very beginning of a new year, when there is a bright full moon hanging in the sky, there should be thousands of colorful lanterns hung out for people to appreciate. At this time, people will try to solve the puzzles on the lanterns and eat yuanxiao (glutinous rice ball) and get all their families united in the joyful atmosphere
8.關於元宵節的英語作文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（朝聖）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.關於元宵節的由來有不同的觀點。
但是其中壹點是確定的，它與宗教信仰有關。壹個傳說告訴我們從前的人崇拜古代的天上的神太壹。
人們相信天上的神主宰者人類的世界。他有16只龍聽命於他，並決定何時讓世界有幹旱、風暴、饑荒和瘟疫。
從統壹六國的秦始皇開始，所有後來的皇帝都下令每年舉行隆重的儀式。皇帝會祈求太壹讓人間風調雨順、人們健康。
漢武帝讓這個事情更加引人註意。在公元前104年，他宣布元宵節為最重要的節日之壹，而整個儀式要持續壹夜。
另外壹個傳說把元宵節與道教相聯系。天官是道教掌管好運的神。
他的生日是農歷正月十五。據說天官喜歡各種娛樂活動。
所以信教的人就準備各種活動並在這個過程中祈求好運。第三個傳說是這樣的。
佛教在壹世紀東漢漢明帝時傳入中國。然而，在中國人中並未有很大的影響。
壹天，漢明帝夢見他的宮殿裏出現個金人。當他想問那人是誰時，金人卻升到天空，在西方消失了。
第二天，明帝就派人到印度去尋找佛教經書。在經過上千裏的長途跋涉，他終帶回了經書。
漢明帝下令興建廟宇供奉佛和儲藏經書。信眾認為佛能驅除黑暗。
所以漢明帝就下令群臣都點起燈籠，後來便演變成了元宵節。
