每年měi nián元宵节yuán xiāo jié,我wǒ都dōu会huì回huí老家lǎo jiā看kàn奶奶nǎi nai。Every Lantern Festival, I return to my hometown to visit Grandma. 今年jīn nián,奶奶nǎi nai在zài门口mén kǒu挂guà了le一yī盏zhǎn红hóng灯笼dēng long,上面shàng miàn写xiě着zhe一个yī gè谜语mí yǔ。This year, Grandma hung a red lantern at the door with a riddle written on it. 谜语mí yǔ说shuō:“红红的hóng hóng de房子fáng zi,没有méi yǒu门窗mén chuāng,里面lǐ miàn住zhù着zhe许多xǔ duō小xiǎo星星xīng xing。”The riddle said: "A bright red house with no doors or windows, inside live many little stars."

我wǒ想xiǎng了le半天bàn tiān,突然tū rán看见kàn jiàn灯笼dēng long里lǐ的de蜡烛là zhú。I thought for a long time, then suddenly noticed the candle inside the lantern. 我wǒ笑xiào着zhe对duì奶奶nǎi nai说shuō:“答案dá àn是shì灯笼dēng long吧ba?因为yīn wèi蜡烛là zhú的de火光huǒ guāng就jiù像xiàng星星xīng xing。”I smiled and said to Grandma, "The answer is the lantern, right? Because the candle's flame looks like stars." 奶奶nǎi nai高兴gāo xìng地de点头diǎn tóu,说shuō:“对duì!灯笼dēng long虽然suī rán简单jiǎn dān,却què照亮zhào liàng我们wǒ men团圆tuán yuán的de路lù。”Grandma nodded happily and said, "Correct! Although the lantern is simple, it lights the path for our family reunion."

那nà一刻yī kè,我wǒ明白míng bai了le传统chuán tǒng不bù只是zhǐ shì热闹rè nao,更gèng是shì温暖wēn nuǎn人心rén xīn的de力量lì liàng。At that moment, I understood that tradition is not just excitement, but a power that warms people's hearts.
