元宵節(jié)
15th Day of the New Year - Lantern Festival
The New Year celebrations ended on the 15th of the First Moon with the Lantern Festival. On the evening of that day, people carried lanterns into the streets to take part in a great parade. Young men would highlight the parade with a dragon dance. The dragon was made of bamboo, silk, and paper, and might stretch for more than hundred feet in length. The bobbing and weaving of the dragon was an impressive sight, and formed a fitting finish to the New Year festival.
新年的第十五天——元宵節(jié)
新年的慶祝活動(dòng)在第十五天第一次出現(xiàn)月亮的元宵節(jié)那天結(jié)束。在那天晚上，人們把燈籠帶到街上參加燈展。年輕人會(huì)強(qiáng)調(diào)燈展和舞龍一起舉行。由竹子，絲綢和紙制作的龍可能得有一百英尺長(zhǎng)。龍的來回舞動(dòng)很壯觀令人印象深刻，標(biāo)志著新年的結(jié)束。
