Hi大家好，我是Cara，欢迎收听我的频道Talk to Cara in Chinese.

今天的节目，想跟大家分享一个中国的传统节日：元宵节。
元宵节是在农历正月十五，也是春节的最后一天。在元宵节，我们的活动是去看花灯。全国每一个城市都会举办大型的花灯展览活动，如果你在上海，可以去上海豫园元宵灯会，如果你在四川省，可以去四川自贡市的自贡灯会，如果你在南京，可以去南京秦淮灯会，这些都是非常具有传统性和地方特色的灯会。在中国古代，我们除了看花灯，还会猜灯谜。当然在现代中国，还有一些城市保留着猜灯谜的活动。我会在这个节目的小测试环节给大家出几个灯谜。

当然，中国灯艺文化也存在着地域的差异。花灯是南方的标志，刚才说的上海，南京，自贡都是中国南方城市。如果你在中国的东北，一定要去看哈尔滨市的元宵节冰雕。

除了看灯会以外，元宵节还有一项习俗不能错过。那就是吃汤圆（南方吃汤圆，北方吃元宵，食物的做法不一样）。汤圆是由糯米粉揉成的圆圆的团子，象征着家庭圆满。汤圆的馅儿可以是甜的，比如芝麻，芋泥等，在我的家乡莆田，汤圆是咸的，我们会把肉末，香菇，花生放在一起，炒熟做成馅料，包出来的汤圆是普通汤圆的两倍，我们叫大汤圆。
有时候，我们做一颗特殊的汤圆，里面放入一枚消过毒的硬币。如果你吃到了这枚带着硬币的汤圆，那么它预示着你在新的一年里财运都会很好。
好的，今天的节目就到这里，如果你喜欢我的节目，可以订阅我的播客频道。我还做了一期关于红包的节目，感兴趣的朋友可以去我的播客频道收听。如果你有任何的意见或者建议，可以私信给我或者在我们的课堂上讨论。我们下次节目再见！
