习俗：春夜猜灯谜

Today is the 14th day of the 1st month in Lunar Calendar. To most parts of China, the fourteenth day of the Chinese New Year is all for the next day — Lantern Festival.

今天是农历正月十四。在中国大部分地区，十四这天所有的事都是为了第二天的元宵节。

On this day, the lantern fair is officially open for citizens to buy lanterns. Performances like dragon dancing and lion dancing for Lantern Festival begin to practice in the streets. There are also riddles written on some lanterns for people to guess, adding to happy atmosphere of the festival. The Lantern Riddles (灯谜, deng mi) is a very traditional word puzzle games in China. Adults and children all love solving the problem.

这天，灯会正是开放供市民购买灯笼。为了元宵节，像舞龙和舞狮的表演开始在大街上排练。也有人写灯谜猜灯谜来增加节日欢乐气氛。在中国，灯谜是非常传统的字谜游戏。大人和孩子都喜爱解决这些问题。

It is not to be confused with the Mid-Autumn Festival (中秋节, zhong qui jie) which is sometimes also known as the “Lantern Festival” in locations such as Singapore and Malaysia.

这不可与中秋节混淆，在像新加坡和马来西亚的地区中秋节有时也被认为是“元宵节”。
