Happy Lantern Festival

People say, "On the 15th day of the first lunar month, we celebrate the Lantern Festival and eat glutinous rice balls together."

After dinner, we went to watch the dragon dance and fireworks. Wow, there are so many people. The roads have turned into sidewalks, and there is a constant flow of people coming and going. Although it's a bit cold, it still can't stop people's enthusiasm for watching the lanterns. The entire street in front of the city hall was dazzling with fireworks, attracting thousands of people to come and watch; some came from the countryside dozens of miles away by car, and some children were riding on their father's neck, holding hands. Watching the candied haws while eating. Wow! So beautiful! The total length of this dragon is about 200 meters, and a dragon head is as heavy as a child. You can imagine how hard it is for the person lifting the dragon head! Wow! The faucet can also "breath fire"! The dragon dance has started, and the masters are still dancing on the stools, how awesome is that! The dragon's body dances in circles, wow, it's so beautiful. We also saw the most wonderful dragon dance, which lasted for nearly an hour before setting off the fireworks.

At around eight o'clock, blossoming fireworks rose into the sky, wow! What a beautiful night sky! I saw that the dark blue sky was covered with colorful fireworks. The open fireworks were like colorful balls, like snowflakes, and like shooting stars dragging colorful ribbons. They illuminated the dark night sky like daylight, The Lantern Festival night became so beautiful that I was simply mesmerized. Colorful fireworks soared into the sky. After the fireworks exploded, paper flowers fell down one after another. Some paper flowers even carried shiny things, really like colorful shooting stars; After the fireworks exploded, they were double-layered, and then turned into animal shapes; some exploded like a meteor shower, falling to the ground; others were like colorful golden rings, turning the sky into brilliance It was dazzling, and the whole city was boiling... The colorful firecrackers were sent high in the air, shining with dazzling light. Beautiful firecrackers add beautiful color to this place. These people who make firecrackers are really skillful. They can make anything in the shape of a sheep, a dragon, or a tractor plowing a field. It's really amazing.

When we walked back, we saw a group of people guessing lantern riddles. One of the riddles was: There are seven stars in the world. My parents and I guessed it many times but didn't get it right... I don't know the time. More than three hours had passed since we slept, but we didn't feel tired at all.

The full moon gradually set in the west, and at the urging of my family, I reluctantly left.
