Today is the Lantern Festival on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month. The Lantern Festival, also known as the Lantern Festival and the Spring Lantern Festival, is a traditional Chinese folk festival. The first lunar month is the first month of the lunar calendar. The ancients called the night Xiao, and the 15th is the first full-moon night of the year, so the 15th day of the first lunar month is called the Lantern Festival. Also known as Xiaozhengyue, Lantern Festival or Lantern Festival, it is the first important festival after the Spring Festival. China has a vast territory and a long history, so the customs of the Lantern Festival vary across the country. Among them, eating Yuanxiao, admiring lanterns, dragon dancing, and lion dancing are some of the important folk customs of the Lantern Festival.
But the weather is not good. It has been raining these days, so I can only eat Lantern Festival at home. We decided to make Lantern Festival at home. Mom prepared various colored powders and stuffings and started making Yuanxiao! I followed my mother's example. I first took a small piece from the large dough ball, rolled it into a round shape, flattened it, put a little stuffing in the middle, then closed it, pinched it, and rolled it into a round shape. In this way, a perfect glutinous rice ball is completed.
I didn’t expect that I succeeded in one try. I felt so accomplished when I looked at the Lantern Festival in my hand. The Lantern Festivals we made included sesame fillings, peanut fillings, purple sweet potato fillings, and walnut fillings. Looking at the colorful Lantern Festivals, my mouth was watering. Next, it’s time to cook Yuanxiao.
Mom said that you must wait until the water in the pot boils before putting the yuanxiao in it. I waited and waited, and finally the water in the pot was boiled, and I quickly opened the lid and put the Lantern Festival on it.
One by one, the Lantern Festivals jumped into the water like divers. Before long, they looked like naughty dolls again, sticking their heads out of the water one by one and rolling up and down in the water. When they all surfaced, I couldn't wait to taste a few. They were smooth in the mouth, soft when bitten, and sweet when eaten. They were so delicious, better and sweeter than those bought in the supermarket.
Although I didn’t watch the dragon dance or lion dance today, I was very happy eating the Lantern Festival I made at home.
