Translate the following Passage into Chinese: The Lantern Festival The 15th day of the first month by the lunar calendar is the date for the Lantern Festival. It is the first night with a full moon after the Spring Festival. It is a customary for people to eat sweet dumplings and watch lantern displays in public places such as in the park, on a bridge, in front of a large building. Sweet dumplings are made of rice flour with sugar fillings, and are round in shape. They are said to symbolize reunion. The custom of watching lights at this time of the year first began in the Han Dynasty when the emperors advocated the learning of Buddhist doctrines and gave orders to light lanterns to pay homage to Buddha. The custom soon thereafter spread from the capital city out among the people. During the Dang Dynasty, the emperors lifted the regular night curfew on this date so that officials and people could enjoy themselves to the full, watching different lanterns on street. Up to the present day, the activity of watching lights has been popular throughout China. On the festive night many cities hold light exhibitions in public places to display multi- colored lanterns made in fanciful shapes. In some rural areas, people set off fireworks, play with dragon lanterns and dance folk dances according to their local traditions.

The festival is celebrated in memory of Qu Yuan, one of Chinas greatest poets and loyal minister who drowned himself in the Miluo River while in exile from a corrupt court of the Warring States Period. People respected Qu Yuan for his efforts to make China strong and prosperous and for his dedication to such ideals. However, he became frustrated with the status quo and ultimately committed suicide. On the day of Duanwu, the day of Qu Yuans death, people rushed all over, rowing dragon boats on the river in an attempt to find his remains, which were thought to have drifted downstream never to be recovered. As part of the festival, people throw rice-filled bamboo tubes into the river as an offering. Like in the rest of the world, holidays in China are a time for serious cooking and delighted eating. Grocery markets are well stocked with all kinds of fishes and meat and shopping and cooking become major activities. But in addition to the quantitative and qualitative differences apparent in holiday meals, some special traditional foods and their symbolic significance are indispensable on these occasions. During the Duanwu Festival, it is also a common practice to eat zongzi. Zongzi, a kind of glutinous rice dumplings wrapped in bamboo leaves, were originally prepared as sacrificial offerings for Qu Yuans departed soul and dropped into the river where he drowned himself. Today, however, dragon boat races are held during the festival and the zongzi are consumed by the living. Commemoration of Qu Yuan during the Duanwu Festival shows his popularity as a poet and man who made great contributions to China. In 1957, Qu Yuan was selected by the World Peace Council as one of the four cultural figures to be memorized by the world. The Mid-autumn Festival which occurs on the 15th day of the 8th lunar month (around mid-September) is an occasion for viewing the full moon because on that night the moon is supposed to be brighter and fuller than any other night. In China, the round moon is a symbol for completeness, and by extension, family reunion, which is why that day is also known as the “Day of Reunion”. In ancient China, the moon was considered by scholars as a symbol of brightness, purity, and goodness. Poets of the past wrote many beautiful odes to the moon. Not only was the moon an inspiration to writers but it was also a source of many myths and legends. The most popular myth was a story about a woman named Chang E who flew to the moon and lived in the Moon Palace. The specialty of the day is the yuebing (moon cake), a round pastry filled with nuts, candied preserved fruits, bean paste, duck egg yolks, etc. During this festival, people eat the moon cake made of wheat flour and sweet stuffing such as sugar and lotus seed powder. The festival is a time for families to gather to burn incense and eat fruits in addition to the moon cake. The cake is traditionally cut into pieces that equal the number of people in the family. While tradition abounds during this festival, the essence of this festival is the harmony and happiness of family life, which is something that can be understood by all. The Spring Festival, the Chinese lunar New Year, is celebrated according to the lunar calendar, and generally occurs some time in the first half of February. Generally speaking, the Spring Festival is the time for rest, relaxation and celebration after a years toil. Customarily, lavishly consuming food and drink is a major activity. In addition to the popular seafood, poultry and meat, regional custom dictates the preparation and consumption of traditional favorites, for example, jiaozi (boiled dumplings) in Beijing, babaofan (a steamed sweet glutinous rice pudding) in Shanghai, and the soup of small rice-balls (cooked with pork and chicken) in Guangzhou. Throughout China, niangao (literally meaning the “year cake”, a thick steamed pudding of glutinous rice flour) is made in a great variety of shapes and flavors. The character gao in the word niangao is homonymous with the word “tall”, suggesting “growing up and prospering” in the new year.
