Let's take a look at how the Lantern Festival is celebrated! In the morning, before dawn, I was woken up by the sound of firecrackers coming from my ears. That's when I knew that today was a special day. I got up in a hurry, washed up, and then prepared for the Lantern Festival with my parents.

We first had to prepare the ingredients, including glutinous rice flour, sesame seeds, bean paste, peanuts and so on. My mom and I kneaded the dough together, rolled it into a ball shape, then added the filling and carefully kneaded it up, and a soup dumpling was made.

In the afternoon, my dad and I went out to buy lanterns. Along the way, we saw the roadside merchants were displaying their elaborate various lanterns, especially those tall mascot lanterns, which attracted our eyes. In the end, we decided to buy a big red lantern and a piggy lantern and go home to hang them together to celebrate the festival.

In the evening, we lit the lanterns and put candles in them, the warm glow reflecting the happy atmosphere. We also guessed lantern riddles, a traditional activity. We sat around a table and carefully studied the various riddles. We were excited whenever we guessed a riddle.

Finally, we shared the handmade soup dumplings, which were soft and sweet. The whole family was filled with laughter and happiness.

On this special day of Lantern Festival, I spent an unforgettable night with my family, which made me cherish the importance of family and festivals even more. Let's make sure to inherit and pass on this tradition of Chinese culture, so that it will always be full of vitality and vigor.
