With the sound of firecrackers, I woke up from my sleep. I rubbed my sleepy eyes and stretched myself: Ah, today is the first day of the Year of the Rat. I quickly put on new clothes and shoes to pay my respects to my parents. After breakfast, we came to the Confucius Temple. There is a saying in "Old Nanjing": "You can't see the lanterns of Confucius Temple during the New Year, which means there is no New Year.

Just entered the Confucius Temple, ah! A sea of people. We walked slowly with the crowd and watched, and everyone's face was filled with a bright smile. We came to the pet market first, because I like small animals very much. Hamsters sell well this year. Maybe it's the year of the rat! ! Then, we came to the square in front of Dacheng Hall. In the square, there is a lucky tree with thousands of blessing words written on it. The trees are crowded with people with blessing notes. I also wrote a beautiful blessing to my father.

Then, we came to Deng Shi. "Golden mouse sends blessings" is the main theme of this year's Lantern Festival. The fine weather these days has made the Confucius Temple Lantern Festival particularly lively. There are many kinds of lanterns here, including lotus lanterns, sun lanterns, airplane lanterns, frog lanterns, lion lanterns, cartoon lanterns and so on. Of course, the most popular lamp is Mickey Mouse, because this year is the Year of the Rat! A dazzling array of lanterns is dazzling, dazzling, just like being in the ocean of lights, which makes people linger. Finally, we bought a Mickey Mouse lamp and left the Confucius Temple with the crowd. It is so happy to celebrate the New Year.
