+ 加入清单There are many different beliefs about the origin of the Lantern Festival.
But one thing for sure is that it had something to do with celebrating and
cultivating positive relationship between people, families, nature and the
higher beings they believed were responsible for bringing/returning the light
each year.
One legend tells us that it was a time to worship Taiyi, the God of Heaven
in ancient times. The belief was that the God of Heaven controlled the destiny
of the human world. He had sixteen dragons at his beck and call and he decided
when to inflict drought, storms, famine or pestilence upon human beings.
Beginning with Qinshihuang, the first emperor to unite the country, all the
emperors ordered splendid ceremonies each year. The emperor would ask Taiyi to
bring favorable weather and good health to him and his people. Emperor Wudi of
the Han Dynasty directed special attention to this event. In 104 BC, he
proclaimed it as one of the most important celebrations and the ceremony would
last throughout the night. They clean it all up in the morning.
Another legend associates the Lantern Festival with Taoism. Tianguan is the
Taoist god responsible for good fortune. His birthday falls on the 15th day of
the first lunar month. It is said that Tianguan likes all types of
entertainment, so followers prepare various kinds of activities during which
they pray for good fortune.
Yet another common legend dealing with the origins of the Lantern Festival
speaks of a beautiful bird that flew down to earth from heaven, which was hunted
and killed by some villagers. This angered the Jade Emperor in Heaven because
the bird was his favorite one. Therefore, he planned a storm of fire to destroy
the village on the 15th lunar day. The Jade Emperors daughter heard of this
plan, and warned the villagers of her father’s plan to destroy their village.
The village was in turmoil because nobody knew how should they escape their
imminent destruction.
However, a wise man from another village suggested that every family should
hang red lanterns around their houses, set up bonfires on the streets, and
explode firecrackers on the 14th, 15th, and 16th lunar days. This would give the
village the appearance of being on fire to the Jade Emperor. On the 15th lunar
day, troops sent down from heaven whose mission was to destroy the village saw
that the village was already ablaze, and returned to heaven to report to the
Jade Emperor. Satisfied, the Jade Emperor decided not to burn down the village.
From that day on, people celebrate the anniversary on the 15th lunar day every
year by carrying red lanterns on the streets and exploding firecrackers and
fireworks.
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 emperors 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 couldnt 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, "Im the messenger of the God of Fire and came to
check on the city and Im 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-Xiaos 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.
Young people were chaperoned in the streets in hopes of finding love.
Matchmakers acted busily in hopes of pairing couples. The brightest lanterns
were symbolic of good luck and hope. As time has passed, the festival no longer
has such implications.
Those who do not carry lanterns often enjoy watching informal lantern
parades. In addition to eating tangyuan (simplified Chinese: 汤圆; traditional
Chinese: 湯圓; pinyin: tāngyuán), another popular activity at this festival is
guessing lantern riddles (which became part of the festival during the Tang
Dynasty), which often contain messages of good fortune, family reunion, abundant
harvest, prosperity and love.

+ 加入清单The dream is flying at the foot of the Great Wall. Hope will kindle in our
mind. A lamp in the darkness guides us in the direction. Remember, Socrates
said, "nothing in the world is happier than striving for dreams.". I never doubt
it, because dreams can become reality as long as they struggle. Even if no
success, we do not regret, because we have at least tried for the dream, but
also struggled. Everyone is eager to succeed, but also all his life to this
goal.

+ 加入清单As is known to us all, the most precious thing in the world is nothing but
“today”. Therefore, it is necessary and significant for us to manage our time
efficiently. There are some suggestions and methods to manage our time.
First, the most important thing is to know and understand how we have spent
and managed our time before. Only in this way can we know in which we have
wasted our time. We can do this by sorting out all things we do every day and
then select the necessary thing and the wasted time.
Second, after the first step, what we should do is choosing the correct
time. As the saying goes, “to choose time is to save time”. For one thing, we
have to know and understand that which period we have more efficiency and have
better quality in work or study so that we know how to make our schedule. For
another, it is better to do the most important and urgent thing first in that we
barely have enough time to finish all task within a day.
Last but not the least, it is valuable to take full advantage of our
leisure time tiny pieces of time. For example, we can do some reading when we
are waiting for a bus, or we can practice our listening on our way to
school.
To sum up, time, like water in sponge, can be squeezed out if we like.
Therefore, take full use of our time in that it is essential to lead a full and
happy life.

summer always comes earlier than north. It has been hot for about half a month.
The highest temperature reached 37 degree. Now, there are much less people in
the street. People are not likely to go out during the summer. Its so hot
outside. Swimming is the most favorite activity in my city. The pools are always
full filled with people. Parents often take their children to swimming pool at
night. Personally, I do not like summer, because its too hot and the sunshine
is strong. I sweat a lot and that makes me very uncomfortable. Therefore, summer
is tough time for me and I always expect winter to come.

+ 加入清单"Bumper harvest, bumper harvest!"!" Cried one of the fishermen, happily
jumping up like a child. After a while, the full cabin fish alive and kicking,
calm sea filled with coming from all sides of the fishermens
laughter.........
Now, like this "fish and shrimp full cabin" scene has been very rare. In
todays market, is the most common fish pound at least to dozens of yuan, more
serious pollution of the ocean, the ocean resources gradually dried up, seafood
production, prices rise, it illustrates this point?
In the ocean of natural calamities and man-made misfortunes emerge in an
endless stream today, human pollution is often not from the original intention,
but it is caused by the unexpected effect. The British Petroleum oil, because
the drilling platform explosion, caused by the oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico,
to 9900 square kilometers of sea water is seriously polluted, so that tens of
thousands of seabirds soaked in oil to move, die in hunger and misery, makes
countless fish poisoning death; and the Japanese earthquake and tsunami
triggered a nuclear leak the marine pollution is more serious......
The sea is so vast that it is because the rivers and streams flow into the
Yangtze River and then run into the sea. If we do not solve the pollution
problem from the source, then no matter how people clean up the sea, there will
always be sewage flowing into the sea, and all the efforts will be futile. Now,
streams and streams are often seriously polluted, or they become places where
people dump rubbish or are loaded with pesticide cans. Finding a clear stream in
an inhabited area can be very difficult today!
In any case, the protection of the oceans can not be achieved by individual
forces, and the protection of the oceans depends on the joint efforts of all
mankind. I do not want one day in the future, our descendants can only imagine
the image of the vast and wide sea.
This is not only the wish of a pupil, but also the wish of all mankind,
isnt it?

篇11:选择的英语词

+ 加入清单In daily life we are often faced with choices.More often than not,we have
to make cardinal decisions indepentently.This moment is very important for
everyone to go through.
In order to make a decision that we will not regret,we should bear these
two principles in mind:thinking before acting,and never missing any
opportunities that arise.On one hand,we should have an apparent,objective
judgment about ourselves while maintaining a clear idea about the world around
us.On the other hand,we should also think about opportunity.Many people may not
quite agree with this and think that opportunity is so rare that only the
luckiest people come across it.However,opportunity is open to everyone and one
should make good use of it when confronted with it.One should take advantage of
it just like the proverb states:“Opportunities are only from the prepared
minds.”
So when one is faced with choices the next time,remember that using the
mind and taking advantage of good opportunities will pave the way to
success.

篇13:时间在流逝初中
全文共 714 字
+ 加入清单岁月极美,在于它必然流逝。看到的只是春花与秋月,夏日和冬雪。时间庞大,在于它永不停歇。回望的已过韶华与光阴,背影和残缺。
一生的时间是多么的短暂,活到老矣,想着这一生的岁月竟然可以如此安然读过,这快乐,如同儿时记忆里的,幻想千纸鹤能够有朝一日翱翔天空的喜悦,这时间,也驾着千纸鹤,伴随着梦想飞到远方,那么请你告诉我,我的时间是什么。是快乐?是梦想?我来问你,你的时间是什么?
儿时的我只想长大,却不知大人的烦恼,却不知长大的责任,却不知无忧无虑的日子在往后的日子里难以轻松得到。悠游田间捕捉青蛙蜻蜓,穿梭山林采摘花果草木,好一个不畏浮云遮望眼的年代。那末,我的时间是什么。是奔跑?是跳跃?我来问你,你的时间是什么?
青年的我恨不得赶快长胡子,渴望男子气概,渴望遇到心仪的可人,渴望一份纯真的爱恋,渴望生活中充满了创造。可是青年的我,却总爱苦思冥想人生,终日哀愁,萌动的年代,心和心之间都在不断跳动,因为一句一字的恻隐可以悲思的人,读得懂诗词歌赋,在无边丝雨细如愁的夏夜独自徘徊。那末,我的时间是什么。是悲伤?是孤独?我来问你,你的时间是什么?
我还没到那中年,不知会否将染黑自己的头发,偷偷的告诉自己:一半了人生,一半了成就了吗?我想,时间是一个机器,能够分解一切灵魂和肉体,让我们不愿去提及它,人到中年,最不愿提起的就是时间。
而到了老年呢?那时的“成长”已然不是一种蜕变,失去了的是旧的,可惜再来的不再是新的。终于可以和孩子一样了,在心灵的领域里都自由了很多。那末,时间就是最好的朋友,它能告诉你一切。人到老年,最不愿忘记的就是时间。
出生是时间的开始,是最明确的一场旅行。死亡是时间的结束,是另一场旅行的出发。那末,你的时间是什么?

+ 加入清单Recently, it has been reported that a boy argued with his father and then
he left home and the policed found him, taking him home after half a month. It
sounds so ridiculous for the boy to leave home for such a long time, but
thinking further, the lack of communication between the father and the son makes
this joke. There always some people wonder why we need to get higher education,
because we may not earn money as much as the workers. In my opinion, the purpose
of education is not for the money, but for the better person we will become. If
the father knows how to communicate with his son and his son is considerate,
then things wouldn’t become so bad. We need receive education and become the
wise person, so we can communicate better and create a harmonious
environment.

篇18:以诚信为主题高一英语
全文共 1427 字
+ 加入清单Recently, I have seen an impressive film—“Meet the Parents”, which is about
a woman Palm brought her boyfriend Greg to her parents’ home to spend holiday.
In the film, Greg was so dishonest to Palm’s parents that Palm’s father is
suspicious of his behavior and quality. As a result, Greg is obnoxious to all
and has to leave. As far as I am concerned, the consequence is heavily caused by
his dishonesty. If Greg could be real him all the time, he would get much
respect and appreciation and would not get much frustration. From the film, I
have learned that being honest was extremely important and necessary. In other
words, being honest is a basic principle for us to deal with others.
For one thing, we will not get others’ trust unless we are honest. If we
deceive others, we would get the same in return, and even no one would make
friends with us or even communicate with us. For another, we will get others’
respect and appreciation if telling the truth. Telling the truth and being
ourselves, we will get a healthy and peaceful surrounding to grow up better.
However, something strange happens in our society. There is a strange
phenomenon that honest people suffer but the dishonest benefit a lot. It made
some people have a suspicion that being honest is not so important.
But I still believe that these are just a few cases, since honesty is
deeply rooted in our minds and we still consider it as a basic principle in
social contacts.

serious problem in nowadays. As our students, we also have to face with much
pressure, such as the study pressure, exam pressure,relationship pressure and so

Firstly, we should face the pressure appropriately. Pressure is inevitable

them. Secondly, tell our pressure to others. Talking is a very effective way to
ease pressure, and during the talking, we may get some suggestions and
solutions. Finally, trust ourselves. We should believe ourselves that we can
deal with any troubles by ourselves or by others help.
篇20:关于戒烟英语
全文共 759 字
+ 加入清单At present, many teenagers smoke. I dont think its a good phenomenon. It
must be stopped, for smoking is harmful in many ways.
First, smoking is bad for our health. As we start smoking, its so
difficult to give up, because the tobacco contains a drug called nicotine, which
can get us into the habit of smoking. When we go without nicotine, our bodies
will feel sick.
Second, smoking is so dangerous. When we smoke in bed, we may kill
ourselves as well as burn down our houses, for burning cigarette ends may cause
a big fire. And if we threw the cigarette ends anywhere, it would also cause a
fire disaster.
Furthermore, once we smoke in public, we may make other people feel
uncomfortable as well.
Accordingly, for the sake of your and others’ health, please dont
smoke.
