我望着万家灯火

春节是中华民族古老而又隆重的节日。古往今来，它给人们带来了许多温馨与快乐，也给人们带来了无限的渴求与希望，一年的奔波与劳累，一年的忧思与烦恼，都会在这喜庆的节日里化为乌有；未来的憧憬和梦想，明天的步骤和措施，都会在这万象更新的节日里得到孕育。

Spring Festival is an ancient and grand festival of the Chinese nation. Throughout the ages, it has brought many warmth and happiness to people, and also brought infinite desire and hope to people. One year's rush and tiredness, one year's worries and troubles will disappear in this festive Festival; future vision and dreams, tomorrow's steps and measures will be gestated in this all inclusive and updated Festival.

在春节，还有许多有趣的传统习俗，如：拜年、倒贴字、守岁、给压岁钱等等，而且每逢春节，一家人再忙都会抽空回家过年。

In the Spring Festival, there are many interesting traditional customs, such as: New Year's day, paste the words upside down, keep the year, pay for new year's day and so on. And every Spring Festival, the family will find time to go home for the new year no matter how busy they are.

在这些传统习俗中，最让我难忘的还要数除夕守岁，也就是在旧年的最后一天夜里不睡觉，熬夜迎接新的一年的到来。

Among these traditional customs, the most unforgettable one for me is to stay up late on New Year's Eve to welcome the new year.

傍晚，大家一起吃过年夜饭，便各自回家守岁去了。深夜，该睡觉了，可是家家户户的灯却还亮着，那一天，整个中国都成了不夜城，十三亿人民一起共度这个不眠之夜。“铛——铛——铛……”12点的钟声敲响了，楼上顿时响起了爆竹声，我们兴奋得一蹦三尺高，也抱着大包小包的烟花冲上楼，白光从箱子里冲出来，成了一朵朵绚丽的烟花。它们时而像金菊怒放、牡丹盛开，时而像彩蝶翩跹、巨龙腾飞；时而像火树烂漫、虹彩狂舞。在瞬息万变的烟火下，我们一家人蹦啊、跳啊，那高兴劲无法用语言来形容。此时，对面的人家在五彩的夜空下载歌载舞，还有的老人像老顽童一样跳着、笑着。干妈用相机拍下了这难忘的一刻。

In the evening, we had Chinese New Year's Eve dinner together and went home to watch the Spring Festival. Late at night, it's time to go to bed, but the lights are still on. On that day, the whole of China has become a sleepless city, and 1.3 billion people spend the sleepless night together. "Dang Dang Dang..." The bell rang at 12 o'clock, and the sound of firecrackers immediately sounded upstairs. We were so excited that we jumped three feet high and rushed upstairs with big packets of fireworks. The white light rushed out of the box and became a gorgeous fireworks. Sometimes they are in full bloom like chrysanthemums, peonies, butterflies and dragons, and sometimes they are like flaming trees and iridescent dancing. Under the fast changing fireworks, our family danced and danced, which could not be described by words. At this time, the opposite people download songs and dances in the colorful night sky, and some old people are dancing and laughing like old naughty children. Ganma took this unforgettable moment with her camera.

我还从书中得知，守岁和放烟火都是有来历的。

I also learned from the book that there is a history of keeping the age and setting off fireworks.

守岁是传说以前有个妖怪，专门捣乱，所以人们要聚在一起。而放烟火是想用爆竹声除旧迎新，带来新一年好运。

ShouSui is a legend that there used to be a monster who made trouble, so people should get together. And setting off fireworks is to get rid of the old and welcome the new with the sound of firecrackers, bringing good luck in the new year.

拜年也是春节里的一项重要习俗，就是到新老朋友家和邻居家祝贺新春。

New year's Eve is also an important custom in the Spring Festival, that is to congratulate the new year at the home of old and new friends and neighbors.

大年初一那天，亲戚朋友都来问好拜年。瞧，老姑一家又来了。开了门后，老姑便说：“新年快乐！”后面的点点妹妹还像模像样地拱了拱手，说：“姐姐、老——姑新年快——乐，万事——如意，恭喜发财……”她基本上把她会说的全部用上了，乐得我们哈哈大笑。大妈她们来了后还给爷爷奶奶叩头施礼，祝贺新年如意。

On the first day of the new year, relatives and friends all came to say hello to the new year. Look, the aunts are here again. After opening the door, the old lady said, "Happy New Year!" Later, Diandian's younger sister arched her hand in a proper way and said, "my elder sister, my elder sister, happy new year, everything goes well, congratulations on getting rich..." She basically used all she could say, which made us laugh. When they arrived, they kowtowed to their grandparents and congratulated them on a happy new year.

下午到了外婆家，我们也按最传统的方法向外公外婆问好。外公外婆乐得合不拢嘴。

In the afternoon, when we arrived at Grandma's house, we also said hello to grandma and grandpa in the most traditional way. Grandpa and grandma are too happy to close their mouths.

因此，春节是人们最重视，最喜爱的节日。我们小朋友也更不例外，因为春节预示着春天的到来，它不仅带来了快乐，还迎来了万物复苏，迎来了蓬勃的朝气，迎来了万家灯火共团圆。

Therefore, the Spring Festival is the most important and favorite festival. Our children are no exception, because the Spring Festival heralds the arrival of spring, which not only brings happiness, but also ushers in the recovery of all things, ushers in the vigorous vitality, ushers in the reunion of all families.
