How do chinese people celebrate the Lantern Festival

On the Lantern Festival, we set off catharine at night, which is beautiful and lightening the whole sky, attracting many people to going out to watch,especially children, who are scampering and clapping all the time.And on this day, all the streets are decorated by lanterns with virious colors,which also strike many people. Now guessing riddles written on the lanterns has not been popular with people,instead, it has been a kind of tradition in their concept.

Of course, on this day, 元宵（yuánxiāo）is very popular.In the past,chinese people made 元宵（yuánxiāo）by themselves.But the process is quite complicated. Now there are many kinds of 元宵（yuánxiāo）in supermarket, and their prices are all affordable. so chinese people buy 元宵（yuánxiāo）in supermarket on the Lantern Festival now.The most simply method of cook is to stew in pure water. when all the 元宵（yuánxiāo）has floated off, it is ok to enjoy!
