In my home town Fujian, the mainest festival has 3, it is the Spring Festival, festival of lanterns and dragon boat festival respectively. And in these 3 festivals, what I like most still is the festival of lanterns.
在我的家乡福建，最重要的节日有三个，分别是春节、元宵节和端午节。而这三个节日中，我最喜欢的还是元宵节。
The festival of lanterns weighs the Lantern Festival again, just as its name implies, want to see the light this day night, but besides see the light, the festival of lanterns writes a composition eat stuffed dumplings masse of glutinous rice flour served in soup even, guess riddles written on lanterns, put firework.
元宵节又称灯节，顾名思义，这天晚上要去看灯，但除了看灯，元宵节还要吃汤圆、猜灯谜、放烟花。这当中我最喜欢的还是吃汤圆和包汤圆。

元宵节一大早，我和姥姥就在厨房里忙了起来。姥姥取了一些糯米粉放在盆里，一边加水一边搅拌，还告诉我，水既不能多也不能少，否则汤圆就很难做得又好吃又好看。很快，姥姥就和好了面，取下一小团备用。紧接着，姥姥取来买好的馅料，开始给我做示范。姥姥将那一小团面揉圆，用食指按一个小窝，然后她左手拿住面，右手逐渐将那个窝捏大，再拿勺子挖一些馅儿，用水把开口处变粘，然后用左手托住面团，右手轻轻将汤圆捏紧，再揉圆，一个饱满的汤圆就做好了。我看后不以为然地想，这有什么难的？便揪起一团面包了起来。前几步我都进行得很顺利，可就是没法儿把汤圆的口包上，急得满头大汗。姥姥走过来一看，原来是我忘了在面团的口上蘸水了，我赶紧把水滴在面上，这才算把口封住了。很快，我和姥姥就包了一大盘汤圆。

姥姥把水倒在锅里烧开，把汤圆放了进去，一个个汤圆在锅中翻腾着，像极了许多白白胖胖的孩子在嬉戏。姥姥一边煮，一边告诉我汤圆的来历。传说有个叫东方朔的汉朝大臣，为了帮助宫女与家人团聚，便去宫外占卜，每逢老百姓问起，就说“正月十六火焚身”。有的老百姓告诉了皇帝，皇帝听后，召来东方朔想办法，东方朔告诉皇帝：“火神君爱吃汤圆，可让全城百姓在前一天做汤圆给火神君。”皇帝马上命人传话，在正月十五，宫女的家人进城来买汤圆，一家人终于团聚。我听后恍然大悟，原来汤圆还代表团圆啊！
