1. Legend of Dragon and Lion Dance in Lantern Festival
Dragon dance lantern is also called dragon dance. Its origin can be traced back to ancient times. Legend has it that as early as the Yellow Emperor, in a large-scale song and dance in the suburbs of Qing Dynasty, there was a leading bird image played by a man, and then a dance scene with six dragons interspersed with each other was arranged. The dragon dance recorded in writing is Zhang Heng's Xijing Fu in Han Dynasty. The author vividly described the dragon dance in the descriptions of hundreds of plays. According to the records in Sui Shu Le, Huanglongbian, which was similar to the dragon dance performance in one hundred plays in Yang Di period, was also very wonderful, and dragon dance was very popular in many places in China. The Chinese nation advocates dragons and regards them as auspicious symbols. Li Shizhen's Compendium of Materia Medica said: "The dragon has nine shapes: the body is like a snake, the face is like a horse, the horns are like deer, the eyes are like rabbits, the ears are like cows, the abdomen is like storks, the scales are like carp, the claws are like eagles, and the palms are like tigers." This is a recorded image of the dragon. In ancient times, people longed for the protection of dragons, so it was also a custom to dance and play with dragon lanterns during the Lantern Festival. Lion dance has become a part of China culture with a history of 1000 years. "Lion Dance" began in Wei and Jin Dynasties and flourished in Tang Dynasty. Also known as "lion dance" and "peace music". It is usually done by three people. Two people dressed as lions, one as the lion's head, one as the lion's body and hind feet, and one as the lion's head. Dance is divided into civilian and military. The dance shows the gentleness of the lion, shaking his hair and rolling. The military lion shows the ferocity of the lion. Lion dance symbolizes good luck and is very entertaining, so it is very popular with the people and is a very entertaining activity.

Besides watching lanterns, the Lantern Festival is more beautiful than eating Yuanxiao. I like eating Yuanxiao best, and I look forward to this day every Spring Festival. You see, my uncle bought a big dumpling filled with chocolate, peanuts and black sesame seeds, and my mother bought my favorite mouse hole Yuanxiao, which is a mixed dumpling made of green silk, sweet-scented osmanthus, walnuts and sesame seeds. It tastes soft and sweet. It's really soft and delicious, a delicious dish. This is a famous specialty with a long history.

There is a lantern festival in Hangzhou every year, and so is the Canal Square near my home. My parents take me to see it every year. There are colorful lanterns in various shapes, such as flowers, Chinese Zodiac and urban landscape ... I can't take my eyes off them, and I can't bear to leave every time. Because it rained this year, we didn't go to see the lanterns, so we ate jiaozi at home.
Jiaozi was wrapped by my grandmother herself, and the stuffing was minced eggs and tofu. Just out of the pot, jiaozi smells good. Take a bite. They are delicious and fragrant. My grandparents, my parents and I like it very much.
I like Lantern Festival, because it can not only eat delicious dumplings, but also watch colorful lanterns and guess interesting riddles. Looking forward to the early arrival of the Lantern Festival next year.

Lantern Festival is a traditional festival in China. Every year, we eat dumplings and set off fireworks.
Mom cooked jiaozi, and I couldn't wait to pick one up and put it in my mouth. Mother shouted. "Be careful, don't burn yourself." Take a bite of the filling and let it flow out slowly. It's sticky. Sweet and delicious!
Lantern Festival is indispensable to enjoy lanterns. After eating Yuanxiao, my father and I came to Yangtou Square. There are so many lanterns here! There are "running" tigers. Rabbits eating grass. There are fish swimming. How rich! Into a sea of lights. Bright world! Dad bought me a rabbit lantern. Just press the button. Rabbits can sing happy songs. I quickly picked up my tiger lantern and joined the ranks of setting off lanterns. Then my father and I went to set off fireworks.
Fireworks are interesting. There are so many kinds of fireworks! Some people are throwing cannons ... people are watching enthusiastically. Suddenly, a naughty child threw a cannon, and people were scared to hide everywhere. I followed my father's salute, and the salute was sprayed into the sky, and it exploded with a bang, releasing colorful flowers.
Lantern Festival is really interesting!
