佛山人在元宵節大多會有煮湯圓的習慣，吃「湯圓」是一項傳統習俗。
Most Foshan people love to enjoy some yummy rice dumplings on Lantern Festival. Eating 「Tangyuan」 has ingrained as an iconic custom of Chinese traditional culture.
民俗專家表示，因為湯圓開鍋之後漂在水上，煞是好看，讓人聯想到一輪明月掛在雲空。因此，吃湯圓表達的是人們喜愛闔家團圓的美意。
As experts on folk culture tell us, 「Tangyuan」 looks like a bright moon hanging in the sky when they float on boiling water. Accordingly, this tradition showcases people’s wish for family reunion.
鬧花燈 Light Up Lanterns
農曆正月十五，按照民間的傳統，在這皓月高懸的夜晚，人們要點起彩燈萬盞，以示慶賀。因此，這一節日又稱燈節。
Based on local traditions, thousands of colorful lanterns will be lighted up on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month for celebration, which is why it is given the name Lantern Festival.
佛山文史專家羅一星表示，在農業社會，男士出外打拚，女士二門不邁，也只有元宵佳節才允許男女老少去觀燈。平時足不涉戶的閨閣女子，往往乘此機會與意中人談情相會，等同於現代的情人節。
Luo Yixing, a Foshan historian, added that in Agrarian Society men would be away from home to make a living while women would stay home taking care of the family. Only on Lantern Festival were all people allowed to watch the lanterns. Women, on this very day, took the opportunity to find their 「Mr. Right」, which in some ways seems like today’s Valentine's Day.
現在，不少公園都會在佳節前夕掛起各式花燈，營造濃厚的節日氛圍。
To this date, a wide array of gorgeous lanterns will be hung up in parks to celebrate a festive Lantern Festival.

在佛山過元宵節，必須要猜個燈謎才叫地道！
