(2015·长沙重点中学高三联考)The Lantern Festival falls on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month.This is the first full moon of the new year,symbolizing unity and perfection.The Lantern Festival is an important part of the Spring Festival,and marks the official end of the long holiday.There are many legends concerning the origins of the Lantern Festival.
According to one legend,once in ancient times,a celestial(天上的)swan came into the mortal(凡人的)world where it was shot down by a hunter.The Jade Emperor,the highest god in Heaven,vowed to avenge the swan.He started making plans to send a troop of celestial soldiers and generals to Earth on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month,with orders to incinerate(焚化)all humans and animals.But the other celestial beings disagreed with this course of action,and risked their lives to warn the people of Earth.As a result,before and after the fifteenth day of the first month,every family hung red lanterns outside their doors and set off firecrackers and fireworks,giving the impression that their homes were already burning.By successfully tricking the Jade Emperor in this way,humanity was saved from being destroyed.
It is sure that the origins of the Lantern Festival are related to ancient humanity’s use of fire to celebrate festivals and avoid disasters.Since the Lantern Festival involves making offerings to the gods and is celebrated at night,it is natural that fire play an important role.Over time,the Lantern Festival has gradually developed into its present form.
