正月十五是元宵節(jié)。除了再次和家人溫暖團(tuán)聚之外，家家戶戶還會在門前或陽臺上掛起燈籠。還有很多人用彩燈來裝飾窗戶。

In some specially-held local lantern fair, there are riddles written on paper hanging under the lanterns. People can entertain themselves by guessing the answer of the riddles.

在一些地方特別舉辦的元宵燈會上，人們還會把謎語寫在紙上掛在燈籠下面。人們猜燈謎以自娛。北方人過元宵節(jié)會吃元宵，一種用糯米制作的球狀甜點(diǎn)。南方人吃湯圓，類似于元宵，只是制作方法不同。
