元宵节,元宵节是几月几日,Lantern Festival

On the 15th day of the first lunar month, two weeks after Chinese New Year, another important traditional Chinese festival, the Chinese Lantern Festival or Yuan Xiao Jie or Yuanxiao Festival (元宵节), is celebrated. It marks the first full moon of the new lunar year and the end of the Chinese New Year (Spring Festival) period. Chinese Lantern Festival 2024 will be celebrated on February 24th in 2024.

元宵节又叫上元节,是春节之后的第一个重要节日,也是中国的传统节日,在2000多年前的西汉就有了。
Yuan Xiao Jie (the Lantern Festival), also known as the Shang Yuan Jie, is the first major festival after the Spring Festival and is a traditional Chinese festival which has more than 2000 years’ history, starting during the Western Han Dynasty (202 B.C. - 8 A.D.).

正月是农历的“元月”,古人把“夜”称为“宵”,所以一年中第一个正月十五“月圆之夜”叫“元宵节”。
The first month of the lunar calendar is called "yuán yuè (元月)”, and the ancients called "night" as "xiāo (宵)", so the 15th day of the first month in the year (of the lunar calendar), "the first full moon night", is called Yuan Xiao Jie (Lantern Festival).

这一天的传统习俗是赏月、放烟花、猜灯谜、吃汤圆、舞龙舞狮等。
The traditional customs on this day include enjoying the full moon, setting off fireworks, lighting lanterns, solving riddles, eating Tang Yuan and performing dragon and lion dance.
