　　元宵 (yuan xiao) is a traditional food made of glutinous rice flour. Glutinous rice flour is mixed with a small amount of water to form balls with sweet filling (e.g. Black sesame as shown in my drawing and peanuts or red beans) and is then cooked and served in boiling water.

　　元宵是一种传统食物，它由糯米粉制成。糯米粉混合着少量的水做成球，里面填充甜的芯（例如图上画的黑芝麻或是花生或是红豆），然后用开水煮熟并端上桌。

　　This food is usually eaten together with family. The round shape of the balls and the bowls where they are served， come to symbolise the family togetherness and reunion.

　　元宵通常是与家人一同食用。装着圆形的元宵的碗象征着家庭的和睦、团圆。

　　This food is also known as Tang Yuan (汤圆). According to the legend， during the period of Yuan Shikai’s (袁世凯) rule from AD 1912 to 1916， he disliked the name Yuan Xiao (元宵) because it sounded identical to “remove Yuan” (袁消)， and so he gave orders to change the name to Tang Yuan.

　　这也被叫做汤圆。据说，从公元1912到1916年的袁世凯时期，他不喜欢“元宵”这个名字，因为这听起来像“袁消”。于是，他命令改名叫“汤圆”。

　　This day officially marks the end of Chinese New Year celebration.

　　这天也正式标志着新年的结束。
