问答题 5.  农历正月十五是元宵节,紧随春节之后。“元”是第一的意思,“宵”指夜晚。“元宵”就是新年首个月圆之夜,元宵节是家庭团聚的传统佳节。元宵节的起源之说多种多样,有一种传说认为元宵节与道教有关。天官是道教的神,专管人间祥运。他出生于农历正月十五。相传天官喜乐,所以他的信徒们就准备了各种各样的活动,祈求好运。元宵节最隆重的活动就是展挂各种各样美丽的灯笼,因此元宵节又叫“灯节”。
【正确答案】The Yuanxiao Festival occurs on the 15th day of the first month in the Chinese calendar, immediately after the Spring Festival. Yuan literally means the first, while Xiao refers to the night. Yuanxiao is the first night of full moon of the New year. The Yuanxiao Festival is a traditional festival for family reunion. There are many beliefs about the origin of the Yuanxiao Festival and one legend associates the Yuanxiao Festival with Taoism. Tianguan is the Taoist god responsible for good fortune in the human world. His birthday falls on the 15th day of the first lunar month. It is said that Tianguan likes entertainment, so his followers prepare various kinds of activities during which they pray for good fortune. The most prominent activity during the Yuanxiao Festival is the display of all types of beautiful lanterns, so the Yuanxiao Festival is also called the Lantern Festival.
