每年农历的正月十五日,迎来的是中国的传统节日——元宵节。元宵节主要的活动就是看灯。汉朝时期,佛教盛行。明帝听说佛教有正月十五日僧人观佛舍利点灯敬佛的做法,就命令这一天夜晚在皇宫和寺庙里点灯敬佛。以后这种佛教礼仪逐渐形成民间盛大的节日。各式各样美丽的花灯在这一天都会被悬挂,从而吸引了无数游客。猜灯谜也是元宵节的一项重要活动,花灯的主人会将谜面写在纸上,然后贴在灯笼上,将灯笼挂在门口。如果有人可以猜中,就能得到小小的礼物。

Therefore, he commanded to light lanterns in the imperial palace and temples to show respect to Buddha on this day. Later, the Buddhist ritual developed into a grand festival among common people. Lanterns of various shapes and sizes are hung in the streets, attracting countless visitors. "Guessing lantern riddles" is an essential part of the Festival. Lantern owners write riddles on pieces of paper and paste them on the lanterns. If visitors have got solutions to the riddles, they will obtain a little gift.
