通常外国人对咱们中国这种传统节日都比较好奇，和老外聊到元宵节的时候，我们可以说什么呢?
The 15th day of the 1st lunar month is the Chinese Lantern Festival because the first lunar month is called yuan-month and in the ancient times people called night Xiao. The 15th day is the first night to see a full moon. So the day is also called Yuan Xiao Festival in China.
元宵节的英文是 Lantern Festival。农历的一个月被称作“元月”。然后在古 代中国，夜晚被称作“宵”。所以当第一个月圆之夜到来的时候，这个晚上 就被称作了“元宵”。
小编也是第一次具体了解 “元宵节” 的由来，之前以为是在今天吃元宵所以才是元宵节 呢(吃货的执念)。
