每年農曆的正月十五日，迎來的是中國的傳統節日——元宵節。元宵節主要的活動就是看燈。漢朝時期，佛教盛行。明帝聽説佛教有正月十五日僧人觀佛舍利點燈敬佛的做法，就命令這一天夜晚在皇宮和寺廟裏點燈敬佛。以後這種佛教禮儀逐漸形成民間盛大的節日。各式各樣美麗的花燈在這一天都會被懸掛,從而吸引了無數遊客。猜燈謎也是元宵節的一項重要活動，花燈的主人會將謎面寫在紙上，然後貼在燈籠上，將燈籠掛在門口。如果有人可以猜中，就能得到小小的禮物。

Therefore, he commanded to light lanterns in the imperial palace and temples to show respect to Buddha on this day. Later, the Buddhist ritual developed into a grand festival among common people. Lanterns of various shapes and sizes are hung in the streets, attracting countless visitors. "Guessing lantern riddles" is an essential part of the Festival.

The Double Seventh Festival, on the 7th day of the 7th lunar month, is a traditional festival full of romance. It celebrates the annual meeting of Niu Lang (Cowherd) and Zhi nü (Weaver Maid). Their love was not allowed, and thus they were banished to opposite sides of the Milky Way. Once a year, on the 7th day of the 7th lunar month, a flock of magpies would form a bridge to reunite the lovers for one day. Today some traditional customs are still observed in rural areas of China, but have been weakened in urban cities. However, the legend of the Cowhand and Weaver Maid has taken root in the hearts of people. In recent years, in particular, urban youths have celebrated it as Valentine’s Day in China. As a result, owners of flower shops, bars and stores are full of joy as they can sell more commodities.

每年4月4日到6日左右的清明節是傳統的掃墓的日子。在這一天，人們祭悼去世的親人，到先人的墳頭上掃墓。唐朝著名詩人杜牧有一首著名的詩，描述了四月初令人傷感的一幕場景：“清明時節雨紛紛，路上行人慾斷魂。”與清明節掃墓的悲哀相反，人們在這個日子懷揣着春的希望。清明時節，陽光明媚，樹木和小草吐綠，大自然生機盎然。從古代起，人們就去春遊。清明時節，遊客遍地。如今，清明節是中國大陸的法定假日。

【精彩譯文】The Qingming Festival, the traditional tomb-sweeping day, falls on April 4-6 each year. It is a time for remembering loved ones who departed. People visit their ancestors’ graves to sweep away the dirt. A well-known poem by the Tang Dynasty Du Mu tells of a sad scene in early April: “Rains fall heavily as Qingming comes, and passers-by with lowered spirits go.” In contrast to the sadness of the tomb-sweeping, people also enjoy hope of Spring on this day. The Qingming Festival is a time when the sun shines brightly, the trees and grass become green and nature is again lively. Since ancient times, people have followed the custom of Spring outing. At this time tourists are everywhere. Today, the Qingming Festival is a statutory public holiday in mainland China.
