Guessing lantern riddles元宵節習俗：猜燈謎

"Guessing lantern riddles"is an essential part of the Festival. Lantern owners write riddles on a piece of paper and post them on the lanterns. If visitors have solutions to the riddles， they can pull the paper out and go to the lantern owners to check their answer. If they are right， they will get a little gift. The activity emerged during people's enjoyment of lanterns in the Song Dynasty (960-1279). As riddle guessing is interesting and full of wisdom， it has become popular among all social strata.

猜燈謎也是元宵節活動的一個基本組成部分。燈籠的所有者將謎語寫在一張紙條上，然後將紙條展示在燈籠上。如果賞燈者猜出謎語，就將紙條取出，然後找燈籠所有者確認答案。打對的話，他們就可以領取一份小禮品。這個活動起源於宋朝（960——1279）。猜燈謎活動極富情趣和智慧，因此在全社會廣受歡迎。

Watch fireworks 元宵節習俗：看煙火

In the daytime of the Festival， performances such as a dragon lantern dance， a lion dance， a land boat dance， a yangge dance， walking on stilts and beating drums while dancing will be staged. On the night， except for magnificent lanterns， fireworks form a beautiful scene. Most families spare some fireworks from the Spring Festival and let them off in the Lantern Festival. Some local governments will even organize a fireworks party. On the night when the first full moon enters the New Year， people become really intoxicated by the imposing fireworks and bright moon in the sky.

元宵節的白天會有舞龍舞獅、劃旱船、扭秧歌、踩高蹺。而在晚上，除了各種大型燈會，燦爛的焰火也是一幅美麗的畫卷。很多家庭在春節時會留下一部分煙花等著元宵節放。有的地方政府甚至會組織焰火晚會。當新年的第一輪圓月升上夜空時，人們都會因燃放的煙火和空中的明月而興奮。

科普小知識

外國人通常會把帶餡的東西都叫作dumpling，比如說餃子、包子、燒賣、餛飩、粽子、鍋貼、湯圓等，但是這些東西在中國其實還都是有區別的，地域不同，做法也不同，吃法就更不同了。

Jiaozi（餃子）的英語可翻譯為jiaozi ，Chinese ravioli 或者dumpling 。義大利語裡面有個詞叫做ravioli，中文意思是餃子，但是實際上並不是中國餃子，而是一種歐洲食品。根據字典定義和國際慣例，似乎ravioli比dumpling更接近中國的餃子。但習慣成自然，dumpling還是更被我們國人所熟知。水餃boiled dumplings 蒸餃steamed dumplings 。如果餃子用油煎炸，那就被稱作是「鍋貼」（guotie/potstickers）。

在中國，還有其他的當普林類型，如餛飩（wonton）、蝦餃（har kao）、燒賣（ siew mai）、小籠包（small cage-steamed bun/xiaolongbao）、粽子（rice dumpling wrapped in reed leaves），豬肉包和水晶包子（crystal dumpling）。

包子通常翻譯為steamed stuffed bun/bao zi ，狗不理包子的英文說法是Go-believe ，肉包子打狗--有去無回的英文是Chasing a dog by throwing meat dumplings at it-gone， never to return. 小籠包子 steamed small dumpling in basket 。
