3.Translation
    农历1月的第15天，就是元宵节。这是春节之后的第一个月圆之夜。这天人们习惯上吃元宵，在公共场所，比如公园里、桥上，大建筑特前观赏灯展。元宵由糯米粉加水搓成，呈球形，以糖为馅。据说它们象征团]圆。
    元宵节赏灯的习俗最早始于汉朝。当时皇帝主张研习佛教教义，命令人们点灯向佛表示敬意。这一习俗很快从首都向民间传播开来。到了唐朝，这一天皇帝下令解除敲响熄灯的钟声，官员和百姓可以完全地享受一番，观赏街上的各种灯火。

    到了现在，元宵赏灯的活动在全国都很普遍。过节这天，许多城市举办灯展，展出各类色彩多样、形状各异的花灯。在有些农村地区，人们播还放焰火，舞龙灯，根据自己当地的传统跳民间舞蹈。
