the first full moon of the first month of lunar year

✩ 每个农历月的第十五天都是满月

 zhēng yuè shí wǔ

正月十五 元宵节
the fifteenth day of the the first full moon of the
first month of lunar year first month of lunar year

满月 花好月圆
full moon blooming flowers and full moon
“正月”是农历的第一个月，“元”有第
一个的意思，古人称夜为“宵”，所以
把一年中第一个月圆之夜正月十五
称为“元宵”节。

“Zhengyue” is the first month of lunar year,

and ”yuan” means the first, what's more, the
ancients called night "xiao", so the first full moon
night of the first month is called the “Yuanxiao”
Festival.

The Lantern Festival is the first important festival after 正月十五
the Spring Festival. It is one of the traditional festivals
in China and overseas Chinese.

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

of the long holiday.
早在2000多年前的西汉时期就有元宵节了,东

汉的明帝听说佛教有正月十五日僧人点灯敬佛

的做法,就把这一习俗传播向了民间。这个佛教

礼仪逐渐形成盛大的节日。
As early as 2,000 years ago in the Western Han Dynasty, the
Lantern Festival was celebrated. Emperor Mingdi of the Eastern
Han Dynasty heard that Buddhist monks would light lanterns to
worship Buddha on the 15th day of the first lunar month, so he
spread the custom to his people. This Buddhist rite gradually
became a grand festival.

点缀着天际。

别有千金笑，来映九枝前。 在灯光下。
