关于春节习俗的英语作文（合集20篇）

每个地方都有不同的习俗，并且都各具特色。今年我有幸回趟老家重庆过年，就让我给大家介绍一下土家族的春节习俗吧。

除夕的中午，我见奶奶煮了好多饭，就好奇的上前去询问：为什么要煮这么多饭，我们一顿也吃不了呀？奶奶回答道：“今天要多煮一些，大年初一可不能再煮新鲜饭。因为少数民族土家族人很少吃鱼，所以就要多煮饭，这也叫‘年年有余’吧。”

除夕的下午，爷爷和爸爸一起贴对联，我也过去凑热闹。东看看，西瞧瞧。这时爸爸问我：“你知道我们为什么要贴对联吗？”我回答：“知道一点点，喜庆呗。”“也对吧，对联是为了表达人们祈求新年福运的美好心愿。现在我们贴好了对联，就不能往外扔东西了，连垃圾也不能扔，一直要到大年初二才可以扔东西。这样就表示把财圈在家里了。”爸爸接着说。

除夕的傍晚，由家里的最长者带领全家去“拜山祭祖”。在先辈的坟前点上红烛和香，摆上祭品，以表对先辈的怀念。这也是对他们的尊敬。

这些就是我了解的土家人的春节习俗，你觉得有趣吧。

The Spring Festival is the most important festival in China. It is on January 1st according to the Chinese lunar calendar(中国的农历). It’s China’s New Year’s Day. So usually a month before the festival people begin to buy food clothes and decorations(装饰) for houses.

“春节”是我国最隆重的节日，为中国农历的正月初一。在中国这样一个文化大国、历史大国肯定有不少关于“春节”的传统与习俗，下面就让我们来了解、学习一下吧!

“春节”是新的一年的开始，那我们当然就要除旧迎新了。而除旧迎新当然就少不了“扫尘”了!在我国古代就有“腊月二十四，掸尘扫房子”的民谚。据《吕氏春秋》记载，我国在尧舜时代就有春节扫尘的风俗。按民间的说法：因“尘”与“陈”谐音，新春扫尘有“除陈布新”的涵义，其用意是要把一切穷运、晦气统统扫出门。这一习俗寄托着人们破旧立新的愿望和辞旧迎新的祈求。 每逢春节来临，家家户户都要打扫环境，清洗各种器具，拆洗被褥窗帘，洒扫六闾庭院，掸拂尘垢蛛网，疏浚明渠暗沟。到处洋溢着欢欢喜喜搞卫生、干干净净迎新春的欢乐气氛。

我们扫完了尘，就来说说过年时我们小朋友最高兴的事情吧——压岁钱!

春节拜年时，长辈要将事先准备好的压岁钱分给晚辈，据说压岁钱可以压住邪祟，因为“岁”与“祟”谐音，晚辈得到压岁钱就可以平平安安度过一岁。压岁钱有两种，一种是以彩绳穿线编作龙形，置于床脚，此记载见于《燕京岁时记》;另一种是最常见的，即由家长用红纸包裹分给孩子的钱。压岁钱可在晚辈拜年后当众赏给，亦可在除夕夜孩子睡着时，由家长愉偷地放在孩子的枕头底下。 民间认为分压岁钱给孩子，当恶鬼妖魔或“年”去伤害孩子时，孩子可以用这些钱贿赂它们而化凶为吉。清人吴曼云《压岁钱》的诗中云：“百十钱穿彩线长，分来再枕自收藏，商量爆竹谈箫价，添得娇儿一夜忙”。由此看来，压岁钱牵系着一颗颗童心，而孩子的压岁钱主要用来买鞭炮、玩具和糖果等节日所需的东西。 现在长辈为晚辈分送压岁钱的习俗仍然盛行，压岁饯的数额从几十到几百不等，这些压岁钱多被孩子们用来购买图书和学习用品，新的时尚为压岁钱赋予了新的内容。

我们收完了压岁钱就来看看过年时最令我们高兴，最惊险刺激的事吧——呵!呵!放炮喽!

中国民间有“开门爆竹”一说。即在新的一年到来之际，家家户户开门的第一件事就是燃放爆竹，以哔哔叭叭的爆竹声除旧迎新。爆竹是中国特产，亦称“爆仗”、“炮仗”、“鞭炮”。其起源很早，至今已有两千多年的历史。放爆竹可以创造出喜庆热闹的气氛，是节日的一种娱乐活动，可以给人们带来欢愉和吉利。随着时间的推移，爆竹的应用越来越广泛，品种花色也日见繁多，每逢重大节日及喜事庆典，及婚嫁、建房、开业等，都要燃放爆竹以示庆贺，图个吉利。现在，湖南浏阳，广东佛山和东尧，江西的宜春和萍乡、浙江温州等地区是我国着名的花炮之乡，生产的爆竹花色多，品质高，不仅畅销全国，而且还远销世界。

哈哈!同学们看完了春节的习俗了解了春节的习俗，那就让我们过一个时尚而又不失传统的“中国年”吧!我在这了祝大家：“Happy Chinese New Year !”

传统节日是一个国家的历史文化长期积淀凝聚而来的。中国的传统节日有很多，每个节日也都有自己的庆祝形式，内容丰富多彩，这些也都属于我们中华民族悠久历史文化中的一小部分。春节这个传统节日也是从远古发展而来的，从流传至今的节日风俗里，还可以清晰地看到古代人民社会生活的精彩画面。

春节的习俗有很多：扫尘、贴春联、放鞭炮、吃年夜饭、守岁……但是由于不同的地区，不同的民族，春节的习俗也会有所不同。然而，不管在哪里，春节的习俗含义是相同的——希望在新的一年里喜气洋洋，合家欢乐。

我家过春节的习俗与大部分的南方人是一样的。过年的前几天，我们全家人就一起忙上忙下的打扫卫生，把家里打扫得窗明几净，一尘不染。因为按着民间的说法“尘”与“陈”谐音，新春扫尘有“除尘布新”的涵义，其用意是要一切的“穷运”、“晦气”统统扫出门。这一习俗寄托着人们破旧立新的愿望和辞旧迎新的祈求。所以我们家每一个人都出了一份力，目的就是为了使新的一年家中财源滚滚，一帆风顺。

于此同时，爸爸妈妈也从网上、超市、菜场等地打年货，购买了：各种酒水、牛奶饮料、蔬菜水果、鸡鸭鱼肉、干果杂货……使家里的储物柜堆得满满的。就连从来不爱吃零食的奶奶也从储物柜里拿了一包饼干放在房间里。

在大年三十白天，我们全家还忙里忙外地贴春联、粘年画、放鞭炮……忙得不亦乐乎。虽然有点儿累，但是每个人的心里都乐开了花，脸上也都洋溢着幸福的笑容。

而令我这个吃货最开始的莫过于是大年三十晚上的这一顿团圆饭。这顿团圆饭爷爷奶奶烧了很多菜：冬笋炒腰花、清炖土鸡、羊肉火锅、清蒸鲑鱼……每一道菜都是那么得丰盛，每一道菜都是那么得美味，每一道菜都是色香味俱全，真是令人垂涎三尺，使人情不自禁地想要尝尝。在吃饭的时候，我与家人们一起喝起了饮料，一家人围坐在一起，家里到处洋溢着幸福与温馨。饭后，大人们还给了我压岁钱，我乐得合不拢嘴。

看着家人过春节，使我不禁想到了宋朝大诗人王安石所写的千古绝句“爆竹声中一岁除，春风送暖入屠苏。千门万户瞳瞳日，总把新桃换旧符。”我真希望在生活中能够月月过春节，天天是新年。

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。

Probably more food is consumed during the New Year celebrations than any other time of the year.

或许春节中食物的消耗比一年中其他时候都要大

Vast amounts of traditional food is prepared for family and friends, as well as those close to us who have died.

大量的传统食物被准备给家人和朋友,同样还有逝去的亲近的人

On New Years Day, the Chinese family will eat a vegetarian dish called jai.

在春节当天,中国家庭将吃一种蔬菜制的名为"jai"(春卷……大概)的食物

Although the various ingredients in jai are root vegetables or fibrous vegetables, many people attribute various superstitious aspects to them.

尽管春卷里的配料都只是根菜或粗纤维蔬菜，许多人还是把各种迷信方面的事归于它们

Other foods include a whole fish, to represent togetherness and abundance, and a chicken for prosperity.

用其他食物，包括一整条鱼，来代表团圆和富饶，或一只鸡来代表兴旺

The chicken must be presented with a head, tail and feet to symbolize completeness. Noodles should be uncut, as they represent long life.

这只鸡必须要有头有胃还有脚来象征完整。面则不能被切断，因为他们代表了长寿

In south China, the favorite and most typical dishes were nian gao, sweet steamed glutinous rice(糯米)pudding and zong zi (glutinous rice wrapped up in reed(芦苇)leaves), another popular delicacy.

在南方，最受喜爱和具代表性的食物是用甜糯米捏成的年糕，另一道受欢迎的美食是用芦苇包上糯米作成的粽子。

In the north, steamed-wheat bread (man tou) and small meat dumplings were the preferred food.

在北方，馒头和小甜饺是首选

The tremendous amount of food prepared at this time was meant to symbolize abundance and wealth for the household

这种时候准备巨量的食品是味了象征家庭的丰饶，富有。

I’m a 20 year-ol d boy, and the following is my story.

A month after I graduated from high school in August, 2013, I was coming home from swim_practice in the training centre of the city and was involved in a car accident. I was so seriously injured that I was in a coma for more than two months at Prince Georges Hospital.

I suffered a lot from the experience of dying eight times during my coma and I couldn’t open my mouth to talk or to communicate when I eventually came around. At that time, it seemed that walking was never going to happen again due to all the extreme injuries. Just like my body, my dreams were completely destroyed. But I was not going to let my injuries stop me from realizing my dreams．

After receiving a total of 15 operations and 36 blood transfusions, I had to make every great effort to learn to talk, eat, walk, shower, and live on my own again. When I was out of hospital,_I still had to go to outpatient therapy in Waldorf, Maryland. After I spent a few months in a wheelchair,_I took baby steps to walk on my own. It was a miracle that

I was able to walk again, but I still wanted to prove that I could not only walk, but also run.

When it came true, I wanted to get back into the pool again. After having a few lung tests, I was able to go in the pool a little bit each week. After a few months of swim training,_I began my freshman year at St. Mary’s College of Maryland and then became a proud member of the swim team.

By telling my story, I want to make a positive influence on the world. I am just trying to live dad push me round in my them and their family members. I wanted to let them know that everything was going to be okay. Somehow, things would work out for the best.

[春节主题英语作文

鞭炮与礼花的浪潮逐渐减退，新的一年已开始了，一年之计在于春，我是城市长大的孩子，在新年伊始，也应该早早地去给长辈和亲朋好友那里拜个早年、串串门，增加感情交流。于是，才早上六点，姐姐就早早地叫醒我，让我准备好去姑姑家拜年呢!

车人竞赛

走出了家门，燕翔姐姐，高翔哥哥，大伯伯，爸爸妈妈和我已焦急地等待在车站旁，等着坐上车去拜个早年。正当我们坐上车时，二伯伯，燕君姐姐，也骑着车在和我们追赶。可惜车只能开到新叶，我们只能步行拜年了。走到半路上，二伯伯也追了上来，他们问我和哥哥要不要坐他的车，可我们倔强的很，干脆像离弦了的箭飞速跑起来和他们竞赛。

游芝堰水库

吃完了中饭，我们大家吵吵嚷嚷着要去芝堰水库游玩。我们准备好行装，就骑着自行车在道路上骑了起来。一路上，我们欣赏着路边的风景，终于来到了芝堰水库。水库大堤上，十分醒目地写着四个大字：芝堰水库。登上了水库，大堤十分平坦，一眼望去，水库的水清澈碧绿，一艘客轮在那绿缎中缓缓地行驶，泛起阵阵的波浪。两岸，山峦千嶂重叠，只见滩上有两地洁白的石头，听说以前来了位神仙，水库水很满，仙人无法过河，就是这几块石头做的搭石呢!

小汤圆

游玩了水库，姑姑正在做汤圆呢!我们这些小孩子急忙凑上去，做起了汤圆来。我做的汤圆，像个“非洲难民”似的，又小又瘦。燕君和燕翔姐姐做的汤圆，肥肥大大的。姑姑做的汤圆，大小正合适。煮熟了汤圆，我们拿起汤圆猛吃起来。

这一天，充满了无限的乐趣，拜年的滋味真是其味浓浓。

春节是中国传统的节日，就像外国的圣诞节一样重要。春节还要放烟花、吃年夜饭、贴对联、拜年和收压岁钱。其中，我最喜欢放烟花了!

那天，爸爸说要带我去放烟花，我兴奋地跳了起来。我们找到了一个空旷的地方，拿出“紫钻石”放在地上，我小心翼翼地拿起打火机，把线给点燃，然后迅速地跑开，只听“劈啪”一声，“紫钻石”被点燃了，冒出像钻石一样的火焰，可真漂亮!我又拿出了“UFO飞碟”，我把它点燃，一下子扔到了天空中，只见它冒出了一道蓝光，在天空中转了几圈，真像真正的迷你UFO飞碟。接着就要看“孔雀开屏”了，它冒出了五颜六色的火花，我觉得它比真孔雀开屏还漂亮。激动人心的时刻就要来了，爸爸点燃了大烟花，“砰”一声，第一朵烟花成功发射，接下来的烟花五光十色、绚丽无比，有绿的、红的、黄的、蓝的，有的像一朵绽开的鲜花，有的像一张可爱的笑脸，还有的像红红的大灯笼，实在太漂亮了!

春节习俗作文600字（一）

我的家乡在巴马县的坡帮村，那里的过年习俗可真有趣。如果你不信，就听我说说吧！

大年三十的早上，爸爸把我和哥哥叫过去说：“你们去河边把我们家的牛、猪、鸡、鸭??给带回来。”说完，把一个笼子和两条绳子交给了我们，我就拿了一条绳子，心想：“真刺激，我还是第一次去赶牛呢！肯定很好玩。”这样我就和哥哥高高兴兴地上了路，一路上我们还看见许多小朋友也跟我们一样，去要他们家的牛、猪、鸡、鸭。不一会儿，我们就来到了河边，我一看河边什么动物都没有，更没见爸爸所说的牛、猪、鸡、鸭??只见河边只有一块块各种各样、形状各异的石头，我就问哥哥：“我们家的牛、猪、鸡、鸭??在哪？”哥哥指着河边的石头说：“在那里呢。”接着说：“走，一起去把石头装进笼子里，>这就是我们要的鸡、鸭、牛、猪等。”我不懈地问哥哥：“这些是石头呀！怎么是家禽呢？如果把它装进笼子里呢？等真的牛、猪、鸡、鸭来了怎么办呀？”哥哥坐在河边的大石头上跟我说：“因为这是我们家乡的一种风俗，这些石头代表了牛、猪、鸡、鸭??每年年三十的早上，这里的人们都会到河边来把它们拿回家，先放在门外，到了晚上12点放完鞭炮后才能拿进门放在家里，表示来年家禽兴旺、有吃有财的意思。”我一听，这才明白。我心想：既然是这样，我就多拿几块石头回家，我们家明年就家禽兴旺，有多多的牛、猪、鸡、鸭等。于是，我就和哥哥选了几块石头装进笼子里，又用绳子绑了几块石头，就高高兴兴的拿回了家。

你们说，这样的风俗是不是很有趣？ 春节习俗作文（二）

在我们中国有一个传统节日——春节。在这个节日里人们都会吃饺子、放鞭炮、拜年、贴春联??

今天，我和姐姐下楼去玩，“哇！家家户户门口都张贴着火红的春联！”我们来到了一家服装店门口，只见两边各贴着一张春联，我情不自禁读起来：“财运享通步步高，生意火红腾腾起。”我刚想称赞这幅对联写得好，姐姐却在旁边笑了起来。我不解，问姐姐：“姐姐，你笑什么啊？”姐姐捂着肚子笑着说：“应该这样读：‘生意火红腾腾起，财运享通步步高。’呵呵。”我很好奇，就问：“为什么？你这样读反了。”姐姐说：“不，对联应该从右往左读，是你读反了。俗话说：‘人朝门立，右手为上，左手为下。’就是说，上联贴在右手边，下联贴在左手边。”我点了点头，看来上初中的姐姐知识就是比我丰富啊。可是，我突然看到这家门上的“福”字贴反了，我怕再给姐姐笑话，就仔细看了看周围的店上的福字，都贴反了，我问姐姐为什么他们都把福字贴反了，姐姐点点头，说：“是因为一个>故事：据说，‘福’字倒贴的习俗来自清代恭亲王府。一年春节前夕，大管家为讨主子欢心，照例写了许多个‘福’字让人贴于库房和王府大门上，有个家人因不识字，误将大门上的‘福’字贴倒了。为此，恭亲王福晋十

分恼火，多亏大管家能言善辩，跪在地上奴颜婢膝地说：‘奴才常听人说，恭亲王寿高福大造化大，如今大福真的到（倒）了，乃吉庆之兆。’福晋听罢心想，怪不得过往行人都说恭亲王府福到（倒）了，吉语说千遍，金银增万贯，一高兴，便重赏了管家和那个贴倒福的家人。”

事后，倒贴‘福’字之俗就由达官府第传入百姓人家，并且过往行人或顽童念叨几句：‘福到了，福到了！’就会给大家带来好运。”我点了点头，说：“这些故事真有意思，看来今天我>收获的春节习俗方面的知识还真不少呢！” 春节习俗作文（三）

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！

“爆竹声声除旧岁，梅花点点报新春，”春节是我国一个传统节日，也是全年最热闹的一个节日，逛庙会、舞狮子、踩高跷等活动相传至今。

二十八上午我和爸爸就开始贴对联了，我们今年选得对联是：“美生活和和顺顺，幸福家平平安安。”横批是：“富贵平安。”接着，我们把家里的东西整理了一下，有的东西脏了，我们要把它清理干净，寓意是把在上一年不好的、不吉利的东西清除掉。

大年三十上午，我们准备把年货都要买完，因为在晚上商店是不会开门的。我们进入超市里，哇！人好多呀！里面到场充满张灯结彩，超市里的东西应有尽有，有饺子、汤圆、火锅料、零食、酸奶等等，洋溢着一派新春欢快的气氛。

晚上，大人们包饺子，我和伙伴放烟花，只听“咚咚”一声，好漂亮的烟花啊！你看，红的和绿的烟花还没有升上天空，那黄的和紫色的就从天空中滚滚而落，一会儿满天夜空又变成粉的和白色的，整个天空灿灿的、灼灼的，像打开的百宝箱。

大年初一一早，我便飞奔到奶奶家给奶奶拜年，奶奶看到我乐开了花。

啊！春节好热闹啊！这就是春节里的习俗。

壮族是由古代百越的一支发展而形成的，是我国少数民族中人口最多的一个民族，主要聚居在文山州、红河、曲靖也有一部分。在20XX年统一族称以前，壮族自称和他称较多，仅云南就有40多种，主要“侬人”、“沙人”、“土僚”等。

云南壮族和广西壮族同源，是我国历史较悠久的一个民族，早在公元前三世纪，居住在今广西、云南的壮族就和当时中原人民有了较为密切的交住。

壮族春节习俗：从正月初一前两天开始，第一天称大年，第二天为小年。除夕夜，各家都燃起一根木柴，大家围坐聆听老人讲故事，守岁到天亮。节日期间吃“红曲鱼”，以象征富富有余，还吃大锅烩菜，称合菜。初三举行“摆手舞”会，参加者达万人之多。此外，还有耍龙灯、舞狮子、灯会、戏剧、武术等活动。

春节到了，意味着春天就要来临，万象复苏草木更新，新一轮播种和收获季节又要开始。人们刚刚度过冰天雪地草木凋零的漫漫寒冬，早就盼望着春暖花开的日子，当新春到来之际，自然要充满喜悦载歌载舞地迎接这个节日。

千百年来，人们使年俗庆祝活动变得异常丰富多彩，每年从农历腊月二十三日起到年三十，民间把这段时间叫做“迎春日”，也叫“扫尘日”，在春节前扫尘搞卫生，是我国人民素有的传统习惯。

然后就是家家户户准备年货，节前十天左右，人们就开始忙于采购物品，年货包括鸡鸭鱼肉、茶酒油酱、南北炒货、糖饵果品，都要采买充足，还要准备一些过年时走亲访友时赠送的礼品，小孩子要添置新衣新帽，准备过年时穿。

在节前要在住宅的大门上粘贴红纸黄字的新年寄语，也就是用红纸写成的春联。屋里张贴色彩鲜艳寓意吉祥的年画，心灵手巧的姑娘们剪出美丽的窗花贴在窗户上，门前挂大红灯笼或贴福字及财神、门神像等，福字还可以倒贴，路人一念福倒了，也就是福气到了，所有这些活动都是要为节日增添足够的喜庆气氛。

春节的另一名称叫过年。在过去的传说中，年是一种为人们带来坏运气的想象中的动物。年一来。树木凋蔽，百草不生；年一过，万物生长，鲜花遍地。年如何才能过去呢？需用鞭炮轰，于是有了燃鞭炮的习俗，这其实也是烘托热闹场面的又一种方式。

节日的热烈气氛不仅洋溢在各家各户，也充满各地的大街小巷，一些地方的街市上还有舞狮子，耍龙灯，演社火，游花市，逛庙会等习俗。这期间花灯满城，游人满街，热闹非凡，盛况空前，直要闹到正月十五元宵节过后，春节才算真正结束了。

Dear Kim:

I feel so happy to hear that you are interested in the Chinese spring festival, which is one most important symbol of Chinese culture. With my great honor, I am here sharing my knowledge about it with you.

The spring festival, also called Chinese New Year, enjoys a long history of over 4,000 years. Unlike other festivals, the Spring festival is a period of time, rather than a single day. It starts from the first day of a new year and ends on January 15th, , of course in the Chinese lunar calendar. But people usually start to celebrate the Spring Festival on the day before the New Years Day, which is called "New Years Eve", when all members of a family get together, have a big meal together(called Nian Ye Fan in Chinese) and watch the Spring Festival gala, indulged in the especially warm and sweet atmosphere of reunion.

There are a variety of activities during the Spring festival, among which at least three deserve your special attention. First, when the new years first bell rings out the old year and rings in the new, adults and children get out of the houses and light crackers and fireworks, which decorates the sky into a colorful and magnificent stage.

Then, on the morning of the New Years Day, people get up very early to stick couplets, on which all good wished are presented. Meanwhile, the red color of the couplets adds much to the joy of the splendid festival.

In addition, we have to visit our relatives from door to door as of the first day of the Spring Festival until the Lantern Festival, which is supposed to be a conclusion of the whole Spring Festival.

Kim, the short letter here surely fails me to give you a complete account of our Spring Festival. I sincerely hope, if possible, that you can come here in China to have a real experience about it.

Best wishes!

Yours,

Li Hua

你好!

听说你对中国的春节很感兴趣，我很高兴。春节是中国文化中最重要的一个象征。这里，我很荣幸地与你分享一些我对春节所了解的知识。

春节，也叫作中国新年，有着超过4000多年的历史。与其他的节日不同，春节是一个时间段，而不是指单独某一天。它是从一月的第一天一直到十五日，当然是按照中国的农历。但是人们通常都从大年初一前一天就开始庆祝春节，这一天也叫除夕，一大家人会团聚起来，吃个大餐(我们中国人管它叫年夜饭)，看春晚，沉浸在家人团聚的特殊温馨的氛围之中。

春节里有很多的活动，其中至少有三样事情值得你关注。首先，当新年的第一次钟声响起，一个辞旧迎新的时刻到来了，大人和小孩都会到室外去放鞭炮，放烟花，把整个天空装扮成了一个五彩缤纷的大舞台。

然后，在大年初一的早上，人们都很早起来贴春联。春联上写满了吉祥的话语。同时，春联的红色也为这个绚丽的节日增添了不少的欢乐。

还有，从年初一开始我们都要挨家挨户去拜访亲戚，一直到元宵节。元宵节的到来就意味着春节的结束。

金，短短的信件中我没法向你很详尽地描述好我们的春节。如果可能的话，我真心希望你能来中国好好的体验一下。

致敬
