After the New Year Week, people in my community make this big tower every year, using tall bamboo trees and rice straws. I took part in this construction for the first time this year. The center is the tallest bamboo and four bamboos support it like a pyramid. We crowded quite a lot of straws in the frame. After finishing crowding, we covered the tower around with slender bamboos. New Year ornaments are put around it.
从元旦开始的十五天是庆祝新年的期间。这个期间结束后，居民用毛竹和稻草建筑一座大塔。

小朋友拿火把点火。这个火焰结束从元旦开始的一个神圣期间。
I was astonished at this giant fire and felt its power to purify the human world.
These colorful balls are made of steamed rice powder. Mothers stick them on the tips of a branch and give it to their children. This branch contains much water enough not to be burnt in fire. Children put the branch over this special fire and make balls softer and eat them. It is very rare for them to play with fire and what's more they can taste pretty balls. They really have a big fun!
