Rich in the essence of Dunhuang, this work embodies the classic spirit of traditional Chinese culture. 具有浓郁的敦煌味道，展现中国传统文化的经典气质 Legend has it that Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty greatly appreciated one of his ministers, Dongfang Shuo, because he was both kind-hearted and humorous. One winter, after several snowfalls, Dongfang Shuo went to the imperial garden to pick plum blossoms. There he met a palace maid who was weeping bitterly. Her name was Yuanxiao. She was heartbroken because she missed her family - whom she had not seen for a very long time - but was not allowed to leave the palace to visit them. Dongfang Shuo came up with a plan. He disguised himself as a fortune teller and set up a stall on the main street of the capital. To everyone who came to draw a fortune slip, he gave the same ominous prediction: On the 16th day of the first lunar month, you will be consumed by fire. He then told them that on the 13th day of the lunar month, they should seek help from a young woman dressed in red who rides a black donkey. Later, that young woman appeared and delivered a letter to Emperor Wu. After reading the letter, the emperor was shocked. He quickly summoned Dongfang Shuo to ask for his advice. When the night of the 15th day of the first lunar month arrived, the capital was decorated with colorful lanterns and bright lights. The entire city poured into the streets to see the lantern display. The maid Yuanxiao also came, carrying a large lantern she had made herself. Her younger sister, her parents - they were all there! They immediately spotted the lantern with the name Yuanxiao written on it. Finally, Yuanxiao was reunited with her family. That night, the city remained safe and sound. Emperor Wu then issued an order: from then on, every year on the 15th day of the first lunar month, people should make sweet glutinous rice dumplings. Because Yuanxiao made the best dumplings, people began calling them yuanxiao, and the day itself became known as the Yuanxiao Festival (Lantern Festival). This book was created by the Preschool Education Research Center of the National Institute of Education Sciences, in collaboration with renowned folk custom experts, kindergarten teachers, and artists. It presents engaging stories and illustrations with distinctive Chinese characteristics from a child-friendly perspective, all in the form of a picture book. To help children better understand the story, this series also provides free audio recordings of the story, narrated by a winner of the China Broadcasting Host Golden Microphone Award. 传说汉武帝很赏识一个叫东方朔的大臣，因为他是个既善良又风趣的人。有一年冬天下了几场雪后，东方朔到御花园去折梅花，他遇到了一个正在痛哭的宫女。原来，这个宫女叫元宵，她因为思念很久未见的家人但又不能出去见他们而伤心。东方朔想了个办法，他扮成算命先生，去都城的街上摆摊算卦，给每个来求签的人一个正月十六火焚身的签语，然后告诉他们正月十三的时候去求助一个穿红衣服，骑黑毛驴的姑娘。后来，那个姑娘来了，让把一封信送给汉武帝。汉武帝看了信的内容，大吃一惊，赶紧找东方朔想办法。到了正月十五晚上，都城里张灯结彩，全城的人都上街看花灯，元宵姑娘也提着自己扎的大花灯来了。元宵的妹妹和爸爸妈妈也来了，他们一下就看见写着元宵二字的花灯，元宵终于和家人团聚了。那天都城也平安无事了，汉武帝下令以后每到正月十五都做汤圆，因为元宵姑娘做的汤圆最好，人们就把汤圆叫元宵，这天就叫元宵节。 本书由中国教育科学研究院学前教育研究中心组织著名民俗专家ӌ
