A 600-word diary essay on the Lantern Festival. The fifteenth day of the first lunar month of the lunar calendar is the traditional festival of the Chinese nation - the Lantern Festival. On this day, every household eats glutinous rice balls, watches lantern festivals, and guesses lantern riddles... Okay, without further ado, let me introduce.
Let’s take a look at how our family celebrates the special day of the Lantern Festival!
Yuanxiao, Yuanxiao, of course you have to eat Yuanxiao!
Lantern Festival is also called glutinous rice balls. On the Lantern Festival, our family has a "major task" - making glutinous rice balls.
Of course, this important task is left to me, my mother, and my grandma, the three most skillful people in the family.
However, making glutinous rice balls this time is the first time that I have really participated in the whole process. I still don’t know how I will make them?
Ah, look, grandma has prepared all the materials!
There are two plates here, one containing black sesame filling. The shiny black sesame filling is so mouth-watering!
The other plate was full of dough rolled out by the skillful mother.
Grandma put the wrapper in her left hand, scooped up a small spoonful of sesame filling in her right hand, and poured it into the center of the wrapper.
Her hands seemed to have magic power and turned into spirits full of spirituality. She squeezed with her left hand, kneaded with her right hand, pinched with both hands, and rubbed with both hands. In a short while, a white and round glutinous rice ball was wrapped.
I couldn't help but clapped my hands and was eager to try.
I carefully picked up a piece of skin and gently scooped a small spoonful of sesame filling. The aroma immediately jumped into my nasal cavity, making me salivate.
Following my grandma's movements, I awkwardly kneaded it left and pinched it right, wrapped the stuffing in the skin, and rubbed it back and forth with my hands, and a round glutinous rice ball was formed, which was no worse than the ones made by grandma and mother.
Time passed minute by minute, and the glutinous rice balls were finally finished.
I started to cook the glutinous rice balls. The glutinous rice balls in the pot slowly floated on the water, like naive fat dolls, looking at me with a smile.
One minute, two minutes, three minutes... "dinner is ready!" With a loud shout, it's finally time to eat glutinous rice balls!
I scooped up the glutinous rice balls and took a bite. The fragrant sesame filling spread throughout my mouth. I swallowed it gently, leaving a lingering fragrance.
After eating glutinous rice balls, our family set out to watch the lantern festival.
The lanterns are red, green, and colorful; they are shaped like cartoon characters, small animals, and some are printed with poems and paintings.
In short, there are all kinds of things.
What!
Guess lantern riddles?
I walked quickly to the place where I guessed the lantern riddles, and carefully looked at the lanterns with riddles printed on them. I couldn't help but frown: It's so difficult... After a lot of hard work, my family and I conquered many lantern riddles and exchanged them with us.
The small prizes, I feel very happy.
This is our Lantern Festival today!
A 600-word diary essay on the Lantern Festival. Today is the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, the traditional Chinese festival, the Lantern Festival. Our family is having a happy time.
I heard from my mother that it is said that a long time ago, the world had good weather and good harvests, and the people had enough food and clothing to live and work in peace and contentment.
Suddenly disaster struck, the city flooded, and the fields outside the city became dry. It turned out that the Queen Mother invited the Jade Emperor to a banquet, and the Jade Emperor got drunk.
After the banquet, the Jade Emperor returned to the palace to do business, so he wrote the wrong words in the rain book. It should have been five minutes of rain outside the city and three minutes of rain in the city, but the Jade Emperor wrote it wrong.
Qinglong learned the reason, so he sneaked to the Heavenly Palace and changed the rainbook, so that the world slowly returned to its original appearance.
After the Jade Emperor sobered up, he also discovered that he had made a mistake in writing the rain book. He wanted to correct it, but was afraid that his ministers would say that he was not careful, so he had to make a mistake.
Later, the Jade Emperor discovered that his rainbook had been tampered with, and was furious. He sent the Prime Minister to the human world to kill Qinglong, and the Prime Minister did so.
After the Qinglong was killed by the prime minister, it turned into a magical bird and cried out for injustice outside the Jade Emperor's palace. The Jade Emperor felt ashamed and wrote a letter to the Yellow Emperor to send an order to the people to commemorate the Qinglong who had done harm to the people.
Every Spring Festival, people beat gongs and drums, perform dragon and lion dances to commemorate the green dragon and celebrate the Lantern Festival.
The custom of the Lantern Festival is to eat glutinous rice balls to reunite every family, so tonight my mother "decentralized power" and gave me the important task of cooking glutinous rice balls.
The white and fat glutinous rice balls surfaced, and watching them expand one by one, I shouted happily: "The glutinous rice balls are about to come out of the pot." I was lucky that the glutinous rice balls were not boiled.
Everyone happily tasted the glutinous rice balls I cooked. My "gourmet" mother gave me a hundred points and praised me for growing up and becoming sensible.
I was very excited. It was the first time I cooked glutinous rice balls and got such a high rating. I was very happy.
At about seven o'clock in the evening, our whole family went downstairs to set off fireworks.
I happened to run into my good friend Liu Yifan, and we went to set off fireworks together.
I held the largest "golden coconut" firework and lit it with incense. I saw beautiful "camellias" blooming in the sky. Liu Yifan and I clapped our hands and applauded.
I took another super large "Scud" and saw it was like a shooting star streaking across the sky, emitting colorful light and flying far away.
Then we placed hand-cranked flowers, flower baskets, parachutes... Finally, our whole family sat on the sofa and watched the Lantern Festival Party with great interest.
Today I learned the common sense of cooking glutinous rice balls and felt the joy of setting off fireworks.
I dream that every day is the Lantern Festival. How wonderful it would be!
I'm looking forward to next year's Lantern Festival... A 600-word Lantern Festival Diary Essay On the night of the Lantern Festival, I just finished reading the book "Niels Riding a Goose", which I found very interesting.
