正月十五是中国传统佳节——元宵节
又称为上元节、元夕或者灯节
民间多以放灯、闹元宵的民俗来庆贺
形成以娱乐、祈祥为主的岁时节日
Lantern Festival falls on the fifteenth day of the first month of the Chinese lunar calendar.
People usually celebrate the occasion by performing folk customs and lighting lanterns.
在元宵节这天，不仅要阖家团圆
更有丰富的展现民俗特色的节庆活动
在六悦博物馆的传统老物件木雕上
便能欣赏到百子闹元宵的喜庆场面
One this day, it is especially important for families to come together for the festive celebrations.
The traditional design of One Hundred Children Celebrating the Lantern Festival can be seen in the wood carving exhibits throughout our museum.
他们有的舞龙，有的舞狮，有的奏乐
儿童们三五成群，各个有着不同的状态
但都面带笑容，显得活泼可爱
场景丰满而不拥塞，繁复而不杂乱
The jubilant children, in groups of three or four, appear in various poses, some dancing as dragons or lions or playing musical instruments.
Their faces are full of smiles, full of youth and excitement for the holiday.
舞龙灯的起源可以追溯到上古时代
文字记载的龙舞见于汉代张衡的《西京赋》
华夏民族崇尚龙，视龙为吉祥的象征
在如今的节庆日，中国仍然流行舞龙来庆祝
The tradition of dragon dancing dates back to ancient times and the earliest written record of it could be found in an essay on Xi’an City written by Zhang Heng in the Han Dynasty.
The Chinese nation has always admired the traits of the dragon and regard it as a symbol of good luck.
In modern times, dragon dancing remains popular during festivals and celebrations.
舞狮子是中国优秀的民间艺术
每逢元宵佳节或者集会庆典
民间都以舞狮前来助兴
狮子在传统文化中属于瑞兽，也象征吉祥
Lion Dancing, evoking the symbolism of good luck, is also a time-honored Chinese tradition and plays an important part of the celebrations of Lantern Festival and other various ceremonies.
而“百子”则是中国源远流长的传统概念
含着“多子多福，人丁兴旺”的美好寓意
用“百子闹龙灯”的热闹场景
寄托古代人民在传统佳节的祝愿
The One Hundred Children motif is a joyful scene of the traditional festival representing the wish for luck, fertility and happiness.
