Lantern Festival

Today is Lantern Festival ^~^ Today is also the end of Spring Festival ~~
Lantern Festival is a Chinese traditional festival. It is celebrated on the fifteenth day of the first month of the lunar year. Lantern Festival is one of the biggest holidays in China.
My family ate yuanxiao today. Lantern Festival is also called the "Yuanxiao Festival." Yuanxiao also has another name, tangyuan. It is small dumpling balls made of rice flour with various sweets as fillings. Tangyuan can be boiled. It tastes sweet and delicious. What's more, tangyuan in Chinese has a similar pronunciation with "tuanyuan”, meaning reunion. So people eat them to pray union, harmony and happiness for the family.
Today,fireworks form a beautiful scene. Most families spare some fireworks from the Spring Festival and let them off in the Lantern Festival. We see the beautiful fireworks and we all excited!!
