　　There are many stories on how this festival was created. One other story is about a maid. In the Han Dynasty， Mr. Eastern was a favorite advisor of the emperor. One winter day， he went to the garden and heard a little girl crying and getting ready to jump into a well to commit suicide. Mr. Eastern stopped her and asked why. She said she was a maid in the emperor‘s palace and her name was Yuan-Xiao.

　　She never had the chance to meet her family after she started worked at the palace. She missed them so much every 12th lunar month. If she couldn’t have the chance to show her filial piety in this life， she would rather die. Mr. Eastern promised her to find a way so she could reunion with her family. Mr. Eastern left the palace and set up a fortune-telling stall on the street and disguised himself as a fortuneteller. Because of his reputation， many people asked for their fortunes.

　　But every one got the same prediction - a severe fire accident on the 15th lunar day. The rumor spread quickly. Everyone was worried about the future and asked Mr. Eastern for help. Mr. Eastern said， “On the 13th lunar day， the God of Fire will send a fairy lady in red to burn down the city. If you see a lady in red wearing green pants riding a black horse on that day， you should ask for her mercy.” On that day， Yuan-Xiao pretended to be the red fairy lady. When people asked for her help， she said， “I‘m the messenger of the God of Fire and came to check on the city and I’m going to set up fire on 15th. This is an order from Jade Emperor. He will watch from the heavens.

　　I will give you a copy of the imperial decree from the God of Fire. You should go to ask your emperor to find a way out.” After she left， people went to the palace to show the emperor the decree which reads “The capital city is in trouble. Fire burns on the palace， and fire from Heaven burns all night long on the 15th.” The emperor of Han Dynasty was very shocked. He called and asked Mr. Eastern for advice. After pondering for a while， Mr. Eastern said， “I heard that the God of Fire likes to eat Tang-Yuan （Sweet dumpling）。 Does Yuan-Xiao often cook Tang-Yuan for you？ On the 15th lunar day， let Yuan-Xiao make Tang-Yuan.

　　Your Majesty will take charge of the worshipping ceremony and you will give an order to every house to prepare Tang-Yuan to worship the God of Fire at the same time. Also， deliver another order to ask every house in the city to hang red lantern and explode fire crackers. Lastly， everyone in the palace and people outside the city should carry their lanterns on the street to watch the lantern decoration and fireworks. If everything goes this way， the Jade Emperor would be deceived.

　　Then everyone can avoid the fire accident.” The emperor happily followed the plan. Lanterns were everywhere in the capital city on the night of the 15th lunar day. People were walking on the street. Fire crackers kept making lots of noise. It looked like the entire city was on fire. Yuan-Xiao‘s parents went into the palace to watch the lantern decorations， and Yuan-Xiao made a big lantern and wrote her name on the lantern. They happily reunited together after her parents called her name. Everybody was safe during the night. The emperor of Han Dynasty had a new order that people should do the same thing every year. Since Yuan-Xiao cooked the best Tan-Yuan， people called the day Yuan-Xiao Festival.

　　这一则传说与吃元宵的习俗有关：相传汉武帝有个宠臣名叫东方朔，他善良又风趣。有一年冬天，下了几天大雪 ，东方朔就到御花园去给武帝折梅花。刚进园门，就发现有个宫女泪流满面准备投井。东方朔慌忙上前搭救，并问明她要自杀的原因。原来，这个宫女名叫元宵，家里还有双亲及一个妹妹，自从她进宫以后，就再也无缘 东方朔与元宵姑娘的传说和家人见面，每年到了腊尽春来的时节，就比平常更加的思念家人。觉得不能在双亲跟前尽孝，不如一死了之。东方朔听了她的遭遇，深感同情，就向她保证，一定设法让她和家人团聚。

　　一天，东方朔出宫在长安街上摆了一个占卜摊。不少人都争着向他占卜求卦。不料，每个人所占所求，都是“正月十六火焚身”的签语。一时之间，长安里起了很大恐慌。人们纷纷求问解灾的办法。东方朔就说：“正月十五日傍晚，火神君会派一位赤衣神女下凡查访，她就是奉旨烧长安的使者，我把抄录的偈语给你们，可让当今天子想想办法。”说完，便扔下一张红帖，扬长而去。老百姓拿起红帖，赶紧送到皇宫去禀报皇上。
