关于春节习俗的英语作文【20篇】

过年了！过年了！家家户户忙着贴春联，剃头发，做年夜饭……要做的事情太多了，而且“规矩”太多了！有些习俗还很怪，无奈之下，我就去问正在贴春联的妈妈。

我看见妈妈将“福”字倒着贴，我固然知道为什么要倒着贴，将‘福’字倒着贴是一种习俗，‘福’倒贴说明‘福’倒（到）了！但我仍然问道：“过年有什么习俗和规矩啊？”妈妈停下手中的活，耐心地给我谈起来。

原来，以前过年还有一种放鞭炮的习俗，来源于“年兽”的故事。很久以前有一只“年兽”，长期居住深海底，到了除夕就跃出海面到处作恶。有一年一个老人用放炮，穿红衣，贴红春联的方法驱赶走“年兽”，这才得以平静，此后这个方法就流传开来。但是现在广州禁止燃放烟花爆竹，所以我们就不再进行这个活动了。

除夕这一天对我国来说是极为重要的。这天晚上，我们全家准备除旧迎新，吃团年饭。

吃年夜饭，是春节家家户户最热闹愉快的时候。大年夜．丰盛的年菜摆满一桌，全家团聚，围坐桌旁，共吃团圆饭。人们既是享受满桌的佳肴，也是享受那份快乐的气氛，桌上有鸡、鹅、烧肉等等，一般少不了两样东西，一是火锅，一是鱼。火锅热气腾腾，说明红红火火；“鱼”和“余”谐音，喻意“年年有余”。最后一道甜食，祝福往后的日子甜甜蜜蜜。

今天我的收获太大了，知道了很多过年习俗的知识，不过我觉得有点迷信，但这又仿佛是一种乐趣，只要快乐就好，何必迷信不迷信？更何况这是传统的习俗，宁可信其有不可信其无啊。

On New Years Eve，our class had a party。 The atmosphere was good。 It was out of the ordinary from the very begining。 The boy student from one bedroom gave an unusual performance。 We saw a boy named Li Xinmin turn off all the lights in a sudden snap。 Then with three resounding（响亮的） crow of a cock echoing in the hall，the hall was again brightly lit in a snap。

Then，the representative of the bedroom Zhu Guozhang asked us to guess a line of a poem related to the above situation。 He added that Li Xinmin alone was born in the year of the dog and the other three were all born in the year of the chicken。 They left us all in confusion。 And it was our monitor who was quickwitted（机智的）。 He shouted our， "The day breaks as the cock crows three times at dawn。" The hall After that，they had another item。 This time Li Xinmin was placed in the middle of the circle。 While he was standing there，the other three stood around him，each bowing down to him at an angle of 120 degrees。 It was an idiom。 This time I got it right："The dog stands out among a group of chickens。"

To tell you the truth，I don t like the Spring Festival at all. When I was young I liked it very much，because I could had something tasty to eat during the Spring Festival，and I could enjoy very wonderful TV programmes，too，I also could had much free time during which I could did something I liked to do. I don t like it now， there are many reasons.

Firstly，I can t have a good time during the Festival. Every New Year s Eve something unpleasant often happens. Once I quarreled with my second brother.

Secondly，I can t relax myself during the Festival. I have to do many things，watch so many TV programmes， meet so many people，all these things make me very tired.

Thirdly，spending one Spring Festival means that I become one year older，I don t like to be old. I want to live longer and be young all the time. Readers， what is your opinions about the Spring Festival?Please tell us，we can share our opinions. Thanks for reading! Goodbye.

[高一英语作文我的春节

在我的老家——安徽省苏州市灵璧县，有一个很特别的新年习俗，那就是挂钟馗像。

钟馗画像，第一眼看去便让人感到不同凡响。画面上的钟馗身材魁梧，相貌凶猛。一袭宽大的红色衣袍，遮不住腆胸叠肚。短筒朝靴，显得风尘仆仆。他一手提剑，一手拎着一只小鬼，仿佛立刻就要将小鬼斩成两半。整幅画惟妙惟肖。

说到这儿，相信大家已经知道人们为何要挂钟馗画像了吧！那就是“避邪打鬼”。

挂钟馗画像始于很久以前。我的老家那儿最初都是在春节除夕之时将画像挂在门上或正堂中，但到后来，逐渐演变成了端午节才有的习俗。端午节那天，人们庄重地挂上钟馗像，焚香礼拜，祈求驱邪赐福。小时看到门上的钟馗画像时，当时我真的是“余年幼，方出神，望着画中的‘怪叔叔’，不觉讶然惊恐”。直到近来，我才真正知道钟馗背后的故事。

相传，钟馗为灵璧人，长相相貌丑陋，但聪明伶俐，读书过目不忘，作文篇篇锦绣。大比之年，唐明皇开科取士，钟馗的三篇文章字字珠玑，行行生辉。殿试时，只要明皇看中，就会稳中状元。没想到，唐明皇见钟馗相貌丑陋，竟以貌取人，把钟馗的名字划到十名以外。状元没得中，钟馗一气之下撞墙而死。后来，在唐明皇的一个梦中，钟馗的灵魂游到皇宫，一把抓住他，质问他为何以貌取人。唐明皇惊恐万分，只好封钟馗在阴间当辟邪镇妖将军，答应钟馗在他的画像上写下“辟邪镇妖将军”，并将画像送回钟馗的故乡。梦醒后，唐明皇令人呈上钟馗的试卷，仔细一看，钟馗的文章果然极佳，并提出了不上治国安邦之策。唐明皇看罢，不由得感到惋惜，于是立即按梦中所说的那样，令人一一照办。

画像送到灵璧后，当地人处于的辟邪镇妖心愿，便开始在节日里把钟馗画像张贴在门上或正堂中，而且据说辟邪镇妖的效果特别好。于是经过代代相传，节日挂钟馗像已经成了灵璧与众不同的习俗。灵璧也产生了很多画钟馗像的画家高手，每逢节日画像便供不应求。1915年，灵璧画家翟光远画的钟馗像还曾在巴拿马国际博览会中获得金奖，给钟馗画像带来了国际性的声誉。

听了钟馗的传说，每当我经过钟馗的画像，望着这位怀才不遇的“辟邪镇妖将军”，总是肃然起敬。虽然，这只是一个民间的传说，但从传说中，却能看到“挂钟馗像”这一习俗的文化底蕴。

Because the Spring Festival is the most solemn traditional festival of Chinese folk. In the first month of the summer calendar, also known as the lunar calendar, commonly known as "New Year", "New Year". Every year, the streets are covered with red lanterns and colorful flags. The mall is a sea of people, buying New Year goods, but lively. Grandma prepared a hearty meal, with a lot of "bam, bam, bam" on the outside, and the guns  . Every little friend put on a beautiful new dress, and the grown-ups smiled with satisfaction. Until dad bought me a lot of fireworks and firecrackers, in the evening, I will take out fireworks went downstairs and children put together, we play very happy, the party began, I was reluctant to go home, eat fruit while watching the party together with family, a good laugh at our wonderful performances, wish: I wish that every day is New Years day! I also like the double ninth festival.

Gongshang University

Spring Festival in my Hometown

The Spring Festival, the most jubilant and important festival in China, is observed by most Chinese people at home and abroad. Our hometown is not an exception.

Similar with other places in china, we prepare for the festival about half a month before. With the lunar New Year approaching, the red lanterns are hung up along the main streets, making the ancient town filled with the festival atmosphere. While people clean up their houses, decorate it with traditional decorations such as Chinese knots and paper cutting. Each family pastes up Spring Festival couplets to convey their best wishes for the coming year.

On the New Year’s Eve, the whole family sits around, having a

sumptuous feast of reunion. It is worth mentioning that the food we have called maiyouzhi is unique. There is a flat piece of wheat sheet covering various vegetable and meat then rolling them up. What a delicious it is! After dinner, the family always watches the Spring Festival Gala Evening, and sets up fireworks to watch in the New Year.

On the first day of the New Year, people pay visits to the relatives and friends to send New Year’s greetings to each other and wish everything smoothly in the new year. The kids can get a lot of lucky money from the elders.

During the whole holiday, there are varied activities in the town such as lion and dragon dance, and all the citizens enjoy them very much.

People celebrate the festival until the Lantern festival. However, the wonderful memory and the joy of the Spring Festival will last long.

It’s really my honor to be part of Zhejiang Gongshang University.

My College Life

How time flies! I have been in Zhejiang Gongshang University for a semester. In retrospect, my college life is busy but colorful. Different from my senior high school’s life, the whole new life I led is much freer. I arranged my time,

becoming the master of myself.

First of all, study is still the core of my life. I major in Japanese which is both interesting and challenging. We are required to be accomplished in listening, speaking, reading, writing and translating. As a result I had to spend most of time in improving my abilities. Besides of the regular courses, I often attended the lecture and went to the library to eich my knowledge, and I do benefit from what I learnt.

As to the after school life, what I consider most meaningful is joining the YVP to serve society. I think it is the responsibility for every university student to make contribution to the community. Little as my effort is, I tried my best to help the people around us. Once the YVP organized us to sell secondhand books and raise the money to help the people indeed.

In addition, I quite enjoy the travels and the bees. Travels let me experience the sunshine, fresh air as well as the special taste of the local customs and practices. While the bees keep the friendship shining, and friends are as if family members. Both of them lit up my life.

All in all, the college life is a journey, and I have long way to go; all the memory is the most precious treasure, and I will value every moment.

春节，中国新年，是我们大家最重要的节日。所有的家庭成员都得到新大吃一顿。同时，大家互相庆祝。大约十二点，一些家长和孩子们放鞭炮，天空是明亮的。我们可以兴奋地看烟花！

在一年的第一个清晨，许多老年人早早起床，贴上颠倒的礼物，或在前门挂上对联。一些房子的窗户上贴上红纸。

中国新年持续十五天。所以在这十五天里，我们总是登门拜访我们的亲戚。那时，孩子们最快乐，因为他们可以从父母、祖父母、叔叔、阿姨那里得到很多红包。春节的最后一天是另一个节日。它把元宵节命名为元宵节。

所以中国新年就要到了。

“爆竹声声辞旧岁，喜气洋洋迎新年。”

随着“噼里啪啦”的爆竹声，我们兴高采烈地迎来了20XX年的春节。过春节，也就是过年。在大年初一的这一天，各个地方都有不同的习俗。

从我记事儿开始，在除夕的晚上，爸爸会在我们家门上，贴上红色的、非常喜庆的春联。妈妈会给我们做一大桌子可口饭菜，我们一家开开心心地围坐在一起，一边吃年夜饭，一边观看春节联欢晚会。我们吃着、看着、说着、笑着、高兴着，时不时还会对节目或者演员品头论足一下。一直到很晚很晚，直到我瞌睡的熬不住了，在妈妈的再三催促下，我才回去睡觉。爸爸妈妈他们到凌晨才回睡觉，人们称之为“守岁”。

大年初一早晨，妈妈给我穿上颜色鲜艳的新衣服，全家人一起，高高兴兴地回奶奶家，给奶奶爷爷拜年。每年春节，我们一家、姑姑一家和大伯一家，都会不约而同地来到奶奶家，一起过一个热热闹闹、团团圆圆的新年！进门先是给奶奶爷爷、姑姑姑父、大伯大妈等长辈磕头拜年，他们会高兴地给我发压岁钱。

我特别喜欢过春节。因为，这几天我不用写作业，不用弹琴，什么事都不用干，可以完完全全地放松，就只剩下开心地玩儿了。不管去哪一个亲戚家拜年，都可以得到红包，还可以吃到各种各样的零食，再餐上一顿丰盛的美味佳肴。真可谓是美哉！美哉！

这就是我的家乡过春节的习俗。总之，一个春节下来，我的肚子圆了，腰包鼓了，人也玩儿“疯”了。啊！真“爽”！过年真好，过年真幸福！

在我的家乡，不同的传统节日都有着不同的习俗，有舞狮子，赏花灯等习俗。春节也不例外，关于春节的习俗有吃年夜饭，守岁，吃年糕，吃饺子……

每当春节来临的时候，不管离家有多远，不论事业进展得如何，人们都会不约而同地放下手中的活，买上一张回家的车票，从异地赶到家乡，开开心心地与家人团聚，一起吃年夜饭，聊一聊天，这一顿饭叫做“团圆饭”，象征着一家人团团圆圆，平平安安。

吃完年夜饭，人们会坐在一起叙旧话新，谈谈这一年所经历的酸甜苦辣，这就叫做“守岁”。“守岁”就是在旧年最后一天夜里不睡觉，熬夜迎接新一年到来的习俗，也叫除夕守岁，俗名“熬年”。“守岁”对于年长者和年轻人来说有着不同的意义，年长者守岁是为“辞旧岁”，有珍爱光阴的意思；而年轻人守岁，是为延长父母寿命。“守岁”是春节的习俗之一。

新年的早晨，烟花爆竹将节日的喜庆气氛推向高潮。人们忙着串亲戚，拜年，互相送出对新的一年的美好祝福。我国北方地区在春节有吃饺子的习俗，而南方则有吃年糕的习惯，象征着生活步步高。

A new year ，a new start，when I stand on the edge of  a new year，I cant help thinking about my plan of next year.

Just as the old saying：“Well began is the half of the success.”So I decide that I should be at work while the others are still relaxing ，and then ，at the beginning ，Im quicker than the others and of course I will get better result than the others.

But ，what I really decide to do is that I must make good of anytime I can spare though it seems impossible. While，I will do my best to live up with what I have planned，and the result will prove it.

春节，是中国最盛大的节日，是我最喜欢的节日。

大年二十三，过小年，差不多在这时候，春节就开始了。大街上分外热闹，卖对联的，卖年糕的，卖干果的小贩们全都出来了，整个世界都变得喜气洋洋。马路两旁的路灯上都挂上了火红的灯笼，给这本来就喜气洋洋的世界又增添了一丝喜庆，一丝生机。家里，爸爸、妈妈、爷爷、奶奶和我齐上阵，一起打扫家里，让家变得干干净净、焕然一新。爸爸很勇敢，担任了擦玻璃的重任，他拿一块抹布，先在窗户里边擦，然后再爬到窗户外的防盗窗上，站在防盗窗上，擦外玻璃。我则担任递工具、扔垃圾等很轻松的活儿。就这样，不过两天，家里就会整整齐齐了。

七天转眼间就过去了，除夕在越来越热闹的气氛中来临了。这一天，我高高兴兴地起床，兴奋地穿上过年的新衣，然后和爸爸妈妈爷爷奶奶一起吃过春节的第一顿饺子，爷爷制作的肉馅香甜可口，奶奶擀的饺子皮儿又白又薄，再加上爸爸妈妈一流的包饺子技术，煮好的饺子，很好吃，我一次就能吃15个。中午，炸带鱼，炸茄夹、藕盒、豌豆荚……下午，我和爸爸一起贴对联，贴福字。晚上，爷爷就会烤猪蹄儿，烤出的猪蹄儿色香味俱全，一点儿也不腻，很美味。

晚上吃完饭，我们一家人坐在电视机前，一边看春晚，一边包饺子，为第二天早上的“饺子宴”做准备。春晚的一个个小品让我们哈哈大笑，一首首动听的歌曲让我们陶醉在其中，一个个舞蹈让我们着迷……晚上十二点的钟声敲响，鞭炮声四处响起，往窗外望，原本漆黑的夜晚被燃烧的鞭炮照得很明亮。我和爸爸也会来到楼下，放鞭炮，很有趣。

大年初一随着凌晨十二点的钟声来到了。早上起来，又是一顿美味的饺子，上午，爷爷奶奶出去串门，走亲访友，我则在家玩耍，什么小提琴、作业、书，全都被我抛在了一边。中午，一顿丰盛的午餐端上了桌，鱼、虾、肉、菜，应有尽有，让我大饱口福。下午，我和爸爸妈妈一起去表哥家串门，看姥姥。晚上，我们一家三口去散步，去放花炮。

接下来，大年初二，初三，初四……就到了正月十五——元宵节。

这一天，刚刚冷淡下来的气氛又热闹起来。无论走到哪，都能看到红红的灯笼。这天上午，我们一起去看社火表演，什么扭秧歌、舞龙、舞狮子……都演得很精彩。元宵节，家家户户自然都要吃元宵，所以超市里的元宵卖得很快。晚上，圆圆的元宵端上了桌，尝一口，黏黏的皮，甜甜的馅儿，真好吃。晚上，我们去看漂亮灯展，一盏盏美丽的花灯让我们看得眼花缭乱。

元宵节过去，到了正月十八的光景，过年的红火、喜庆与热闹慢慢地消失，大人们都要上班，小学生们也都开学了，一切又平静了下来。

春节是我国各民族的传统节日，100多年前，民间艺人百本张曾在他的曲本中这样写道：正月里家家贺新年，元宵佳节把灯观，月正圆，花盒子处处瞅，炮竹阵阵喧，惹得人大街小巷都游串。这历史上关于岁首春节的生动定照。

相传尧舜时期，我国就有这个节日，殷商甲骨文的卜辞中，亦有关于春节的记载，有庆祝风首春节的风俗，但当时历法，是靠观象授时，是否准确，尚难确定，到了公元前104年汉武帝太初元年，我国人民创造了太初历，明确规定以农历正月为岁首，从这时起，农历新年的习俗就流传了20xx多年，直到新中国成立，改用公元以后，这个节日就改为春节。

在我国最古的文字记载中，有许多关于岁首的故事，腊月和新春，正是秋收冬藏以后的农闲季节，汉郑玄也说过，岁未年初劳农以休息之。拿我们今天的话来说，就是劳逸结合的意思。

那么春节到底是怎么来的呢？相传，在很久以前，有一个名叫万年的青年，看到当时节令很乱，想把节令定准，一天，他上山砍柴，坐在树阴下面休息，树影的移动启发了他，他设计了一个测日影计天时的日晷仪。可是，天阴雨雾，影响测量，后来，山崖上的滴泉引起他的兴趣，他又动手做了五层漏壶，天长日久，他发现每隔三百六十多天，天时的长短就会重复一遍。

那时的国君叫祖乙，天时风云的不测，使他很苦恼。一个名叫阿衡的大臣，为讨好皇上，奏称要设天台敬祭天神，祖乙认为有理，便带领百官去祭天，却无济于事，万年知道后，忍不住带着日晷仪和漏壶去见皇上，对祖乙讲清了日月运行的道理。祖乙听后龙颜大悦，感到有道理。于是把万年留下，在天坛前修建日月阁，筑起日晷台和漏壶亭，并派了十二童子服待万年，祖乙对万年说：希望你能测准日月规律，推算出准确的晨夕时间，创建历法，为天下的黎民百姓造福。

有一次，祖乙传旨要阿衡去了解万年测试历法的进展情况，当他登上日月坛时看见天坛边的石壁上写了一些字，阿衡看见后，知道万年的历法已研究成功，怕皇上重用他，于日派人刺杀万年，结果刺客被士卫抓住了，祖乙知道后，惩处了阿衡，亲自登上日月阁看望万年，万年指着天象，对祖乙说：现在正是十二个月满，旧岁已完，新春复始，祈请国君定个节吧。祖乙说：春为岁道，就叫春节吧。

冬去春来，年复一年，后来，万年经过长期观察，精心推算，制定了准确的太阳历，后来为了纪念万年的功绩，便将太阳日命名为万年历封万年为日月寿星，以后，人们在过年时挂上寿星图，据传说就是为了纪念万年的。

现在我们过年也有一些习俗，如倒贴福字，放爆竹，拜年等等。

The Spring Festival is the most important festival all the year round for the Chinese.

During this Spring Festival, I have a good time. First of all, I did so well in the final exam that makes my parents very happy. They say that it’s their best gift for the New Year. And we come back our hometown to spend this biggest festival with other relatives. We had a big dinner on the New Year’s Eve. There were about thirty people had the dinner together. It was really great. After dinner, we enjoyed the Spring Festival Gala Evening. On the New Year’s Day, we gathered together to play games or cards. We children got lucky money from adults. This was the most exciting thing for us. On the following days, we visited to each other, bringing our best wishes.

对中国人来说，春节是一年中最重要的节日。

今年，我度过了一个快乐的春节。首先，期末考试我考得很好，这让我的父母非常高兴，他们说这是他们最好的新年礼物。我们回老家和亲人们一起度过了这个春节，除夕夜，我们吃了一顿丰盛的年夜饭，大概有三十个人一起吃饭，非常热闹。晚饭过后，我们一起看了春节联欢晚会。大年初一，我们聚在一起玩游戏、打牌。大人们会给小孩压岁钱，这是最让我们高兴的事。在接下来的几天，我们带上最好的祝福，和亲戚们相互串门。

It was the Eve of the Spring Festival.

Dusk was just falling as I slurped up the last bit of rice and laid down my chopsticks.

“Theyre starting!” cried my friend excitedly. “Quick! Quick!”

Outside, children were running everywhere. Their happy voices and faces made me warm inside, despite the cold wind that greeted me. My friend thrust a bundle of straw in my hands. “Come!” he cried. I giggled as I ran to catch up to him; the childrens excitement was a fever that spread to even the big kids like us.

I soon joined a rowdy bunch of children and teenagers who were building a bonfire in the middle of a path that ran through the wheat fields. “Here,”said my friend, handing me a long bamboo pole. “Put some of your straw in the fire. Then tie the rest onto your pole like this.” He demonstrated with his own materials, and I followed his example. Then he thrust both our torches into the fire and handed me mine. “Now run!”

And run I did----we all did. For miles and miles around, as far as I could see, there were small orange specks scattered about, and I could hear the distant screaming and laughing of other children running up and down the rice field path. For several hours into the night I helped build fires and keep an eye on the younger children. Occasionally I, too, lit a torch and ran around like a mad man, screaming and waving a flaming bamboo pole.

This festival, which occurred six days before Chinese New Year, was just one of the experiences during the visit to my friends over the Spring Festival. As it was explained to me, the purpose behind this festival was to allow the children to have fun burning up all the straw leftover after the harvest. Later, the ash is used for fertilizer.

The term is coming to an end. The Spring Festival is coming. I am very excited. I have already planned how to use the Spring Festival. Now the Spring Festival, which is looking forward to it, is coming. Oh, I must be full and meaningful.

First of all, you have to buy a couplet ahead of time, put a few doors into the home, and let the home spill over the festival. Of course, fireworks and firecrackers are essential, and I particularly like the magnificent landscape of the rain when the fireworks fly into the sky. Dumpling is one of the indispensable food during the Spring Festival, mom made dumplings, very fresh, I must lead a person to endless aftertastes tongtongkuaikuai, meal, snack.

Next, you have to go to the family and friends home for a new year. A door, I want to "uncle, aunt long short" to call them, then mom and dad bought a gift for them, hee hee, relatives will entertain us warmly served delicious snacks, put candy, and I love the most is that Hunan tea bud, with sesame ramming. As long as the boiling water bubble, wow, aroma, make people unable to hide greeds, appetite.

Then eat dinner, mom do the dinner on New Years Eve can be said to be "a", the whole family sitting together, taste the delicious food, talking and laughing, enjoyable. The love is to see once a year the Spring Festival Gala, which shows rich and colorful, comic sketches, songs, wonderful performances, give a person to enjoy.

In the middle of my new years new year plan, my mother called me to write the homework. Hey, I love the spring festival you come soon.

吃年夜饭，是春节家家户户最热闹愉快的时候。大年夜。丰盛的年菜摆满一桌，阖家团聚，围坐桌旁，共吃团圆饭，心头的充实感真是难以言喻。人们既是享受满桌的佳肴盛馔，也是享受那份快乐的气氛，桌上有大菜、冷盆、热炒、点心，一般少不了两样东西，一是火锅。一是鱼。火锅沸煮，热气腾腾，温馨撩人，说明红红火火；“鱼”和“余”谐音，是象征“吉庆有余”，也喻示“年年有余”。还有萝卜俗称菜头，祝愿有好彩头；龙虾、爆鱼等煎炸食物，预祝家运兴旺如“烈火烹油”。最后多为一道甜食，祝福往后的日子甜甜蜜蜜，这天，即使不会喝酒的，也多少喝一点。

年夜饭的名堂很多，南北各地不同，有饺子、馄饨、长面、元宵等，而且各有讲究。北方人过年习惯吃饺子，是取新旧交替“更岁交子”的意思。又因为白面饺子形状像银元宝，一盆盆端上桌象征着“新年大发财，元宝滚进来”之意。有的包饺子时，还把几枚沸水消毒后的硬币包进去，说是谁先吃着了，就能多挣钱。吃饺子的习俗，是从汉朝传下来的。相传，医圣张仲景在寒冬腊月，看到穷人的耳朵被冻烂了，便制作了一种“祛寒娇耳汤”给穷人治冻伤。他用羊肉、辣椒和一些祛寒温热的药材，用面皮包成耳朵样子的“娇耳”，下锅煮熟，分给穷人吃，人们吃后，觉得浑身变暖，两耳发热。以后，人们仿效着做，一直流传到今天。新年吃馄饨，是取其开初之意。传说世界生成以前是

混沌状态，盘古开天辟地，才有了宇宙四方，长面，也叫长寿面。新年吃面，是预祝寿长百年。

Will Christmas Replace the Spring Festival？

Christmas arouses increasing attention year by year in China。 Christmas cards bee popular with students。 People hold Christmas parties and exchange Christmas girts。 A lot or TV and radio programs about Christmas are on。 Meanwhile the Spring Festival is less appealing （有吸引力的）to youngsters。 Thus some people wonder whether Christmas will replace the Spring Festival。

This worry is fairly unnecessary。 Why ？ One reason lies that Christmas only affects Christians，college students and joint-venture （合资企业）workers。 Another reason is that Christmas is mostly celebrated in cities。 Few people in countryside show extreme interest in this exotic（带有异国情调的） festival。 By contrast，the Spring Festival is the most influential traditional festival in every family。

I think，it is natural that with increasing exchanges with the West，a lot of Western holidays have been gradually introduced into China。 For us Chinese we should never neglect or even discard our own traditional festivals。 For centuries Chinese have observed this traditional holiday to wele the beginning of a new year。 And we will treasure the Spring Festival forever。

A Happy New Year ，a new start，when I stand on the edge of a Happy New Year，I cant help thinking about my plan of next year.

Just as the old saying：“Well began is the half of the success.”So I decide that I should be at work while the others are still relaxing ，and then ，at the beginning ，Im quicker than the others and of course I will get better result than the others.

But ，what I really decide to do is that I must make good of anytime I can spare though it seems impossible. While，I will do my best to live up with what I have planned，and the result will prove it.

回到老家，心里可高兴了，春节习俗总会让我吃惊不小，最普遍的就是以下四个了：吃年饭，看晚会，午夜放烟花和拜年。 大年三十，舅舅舅妈等亲戚都欢聚一堂，外婆外公满脸喜悦，开心地忙碌着。对，今天我们要吃年饭……

大年三十，舅舅舅妈等亲戚都欢聚一堂，外婆外公满脸喜悦，开心地忙碌着。对，今天我们要吃年饭了！“噼里啪啦”，一阵鞭炮声响起，年饭做好了！当然，吃年饭总忘不了土地爷爷，敬几根香，摆几碗菜和一碗饭，求土地爷爷保佑，来年丰收。接下来，便入席了。吃罢年饭，大家都坐在炉子旁边聊天。外公外婆这时候可就忙咯！吃年饭（也可以说是团圆饭），是春节的重要习俗之一，不管是在哪儿，大家都会赶回来，和家人一起共享这美好的时刻。吃年饭时，大家总有很多话要说，说工作，说家庭，等等。吃年饭的时间是不一样的，只要家人都到齐了，想什么时候吃都行。

晚上，就剩下自己家的人了。在看春节联欢晚会之前，是我最期待的时候：收压岁钱。恭喜发财，红包拿来！大舅舅一个，小舅舅一个，外婆一个……大家都忙活完了，该坐下来休息休息了，于是，我们便团聚在一起看春节联欢晚会。边看边聊，仿佛话总也说不完似的。总算熬到12点了，午夜烟花快燃放了！“轰！”一个礼炮打响了，天空顿时蒙上了一件五彩斑斓的彩衣。随着第一个礼炮的打响，各家不约而同地放出了各种款式的烟花，每一家的屋顶上都挂上了一个美丽的帽子。放烟花的声音震耳欲聋，五彩的烟花使我眼花缭乱。我和大舅妈跑到楼顶上观看烟花，我兴奋得直跳：“我这次苦熬到12点真是没白费，这真是太壮观了！”午夜放烟花，有可能是每个地方都有的习俗，有可能是我们家乡特有的一种习俗，但都一样，我见识到了，你们也听说了！

这天，是初一，才刚起来，就听见门外一阵拜年声：“给您老拜年了啊！”“哎！来了来了，新年快乐！”“新年快乐！”这时候，外婆正忙着做早餐，外公则正忙着招呼人。“坐一下吧啊？”“不了不了。”这样的对话总会听见很多次。我赶紧吃完早餐和小舅舅他们出门了。小舅舅的双胞胎女儿紫依和紫芊各提着一个袋子，每到一处袋子里的东西就会增加一点，可高兴坏她们了。所谓的拜年呢，就是挨家挨户地走动，有时候会在哪一家坐一会儿，聊聊天什么的。而小孩子就提着个袋子去拜糖。声明一下啊，我可没有哦！
