James and Sarah live in Los Angeles, but their daughter Linda goes to school in New York. On the New Year’s Day, they go to their daughter’s school for the New Year’s party.

Before the party begins, the head teacher talks about what the students and teachers do for the party. At last, the head teacher says, “Let’s give our students and teachers a hand.”

James’ English is not very good. He knows that “to give someone (某人) a hand” means “ to help someone”, so he stands up and wants to help.

“What do you want to do?” asks Sarah.

The Lantern Festival is a traditional Chinese festival on the 15th of the first lunar month. Here are some things about the Lantern Festival.

The origins (起源) of Chinese lanterns

The origins of Chinese lanterns go back to the Stone Age. The coming of the Bronze Age (青铜时代) saw the development of different kinds of metal (金属的) lanterns. Later, decorative lanterns made of paper came to be used in festivals. All kinds of lantern festivals became quite popular during the Sui Dynasty. During the Southern Song Dynasty, a festival in Qinhuaihe in Nanjing included over 10,000 lanterns. During the Qing Dynasty, lantern shows were held in the capital city. Lantern competitions were also held, with the dragon lanterns being the most famous competitor.

The Lantern Festival

Chinese started to celebrate the Lantern Festival during the Han Dynasty, and then it became popular during the Tang and Song dynasties. This is a festival for people to have fun.

At night, people go into the streets with all kinds of lanterns under the full moon, try to solve Chinese riddles (谜语), play games, enjoy traditional food called Yuan Xiao and set off fireworks. There is really a lot of fun for the young and the old. They also watch the lion or dragon dance. Chinese dragons are a symbol of Chin, and they are believed to bring good luck to people, so the longer the dragon is in the dance, the more luck it will bring to the community.

7-day holiday in the Song Dynasty

While modern people work on this day, people in the Song Dynasty could take seven days off for the Lantern Festival according to the Wen Chang Za Lu, an ancient documentary book.
