一起去看冰灯吧 The Ice Lantern Festival
冬天，我国北方地区是冰雪的世界。天地一片白茫茫，看久了不免觉得单调。于是聪明的人们想出了一个办法，那就是用五彩缤纷的冰灯来装点自己的生活。冰灯制作最初只是一家一户观赏所用，后来制作的规模也越来越来大，冰灯的形状和色彩也越来越丰富，逐渐形成了一个新的节日——冰灯节。
The North of China turns into a world of ice and snow in winter. After awhile, the hoary landscape becomes an insipid and dreary sight. . Consequently, the clever northerners came up with an interesting idea – brightening up their life with colorful ice lanterns. Originally, people made ice lanterns to decorate their houses; later, as they grew in popularity, lanterns were produced in all different shapes and in a full array of colors . In time, a new celebration was born – the Ice Lantern Festival.
冰灯节主要流行于冬季气候严寒的东北地区，至今已经有数百年的历史。冰灯节一般在农历正月期间举行，多与元宵灯节重叠，所以也是元宵节的一个重要组成部分。节日期间，还会举行冰河游园会、冰灯雕刻比赛等。同时还会展出各式冰灯，如冰龙灯、冰狮子灯、冰塔灯、冰孔雀灯等。，现代的冰灯节还设置了各式形状的彩灯、花灯，并从国外引进了雪花灯、水滴灯、满天星等一些异国特色浓郁的彩灯，使夜晚的灯光效果更加突出。
The Ice Lantern Festival, popular in the northeast of China where the climate is bitterly cold in winter, has a history of several hundreds of years. The festival is usually held during the first lunar month and very often overlaps the Lantern Festival, of which it has become a very important part. During the festival there are many different activities such as picnics on glaciers and ice-carving contests. There are also exhibitions of ice lanterns in various shapes such as dragons, lions, towers, and peacocks. Recently, people have introduced different style lanterns from abroad such as snowflake lanterns, water-drop lanterns, and star-studded lanterns, which complement and illuminate the exhibition in a rich and lively way.
值得一提的是，哈尔滨的冰灯节驰名中外，影响已经波及全国乃至世界。每年农历正月，总有大批的国内外游客慕名而来。如果你也想亲身体验一下奇幻多彩的冰雪文化，不妨一起去哈尔滨看冰灯吧！
It is worth mentioning that the Ice Lantern Festival of Harbin has been well-known both at home and abroad. Many locals and tourists from abroad are drawn to Harbin in the first lunar month every year. If you want to know more about the fascinatingculture of ice lanterns, you can come to Harbin to see it for yourself.
