写一篇关于春节的作文英语作文【汇集20篇】

Dear Simon,

I’m glad to tell you something about Spring Festival. Spring Festival is very important in China. It happens every year, but not on the same day. It usually comes in February, but sometimes it comes in January. A few days before Spring Festival we clean our house and sweep away all the bad luck. We always buy new clothes for Spring Festival. We buy lots of food, too. On the evening before Spring Festival, we have a big family dinner. We eat lots of traditional food, such as jiaozi— a kind of dumping. We usually watch a special programme on television. Parents usually give thEir children a hongbao. It means good money. We visit our friends and relatives the day before Spring Festival. Spring Festival finishes at Lantern Festival, and we often eat yuanxiao on that day.

Tell me about a festival in your country.

Love from,

Lingling

There are many festivals in China. Among them, I like the Spring Festival most.Not only because it’s the biggest festival in the year, but also because it’s a new beginning that brings hope to people and it’s time for family gathering.Before the festival, people come home no matter where they are.Usually, we have a big dinner on the New Year’s Eve. And then families sit together and share their lives or planes.Some will play games or hang out to have some fun.

On the New Year’s Day, people get up early and say good words to anyone they meet.Children can get lucky money from relatives.In the following days, we will visit relative’s home and bring New Year’s wishes to them.In short, it’s a time for family gathering and all of us enjoy it.

在我国，一年有很多节日，在这些节日中，我最喜欢春节。这不仅因为它是一年中最大的节日，更因为它是新一年的开始，给人们带来新的希望，也因为它是亲朋好友团聚的时刻。不管身在何方，人们总会在春节前回到家里准备过节。

通常，我们会在除夕夜吃一顿丰盛的晚餐，之后家人团座一起，分享一年以来的生活以及新年计划。有的人则会玩游戏或者出去玩。大年初一，人们通常会早起，会与见到的人说吉祥话。孩子们会得到压岁钱。在接下来的几天里，人们会带上新年祝福互相串门拜年。总之，春节是一个欢聚一堂、供人享乐的日子。

你们一定很想问我为什么想过春节吧?因为，在春节里，每家每户都会买鞭炮来庆祝，而且，在春节的晚上，还有精彩的春节晚会呢!

春节不仅有精彩的晚会表演，而且有每家每户发生的故事呢!别提有多精彩了。

春节早上，我对爷爷说：“爷爷，爷爷，我们去买鞭炮吧,今天可是春节呀!”“好，好!那你要什么鞭炮?”“我要冲天炮……”反正我不要有响声的泡。“行，爷爷这就给你买去。”

到了晚上，我和爷爷奶奶爸爸妈妈一起下楼放鞭炮，我开心极了!对爷爷奶奶爸爸妈妈说:“爷爷奶奶爸爸妈妈：春节快乐!”

大约7点半，我们又回到家里开始放冲天炮，开始，我不敢放，后来，慢慢地我觉得放冲天炮也不是很可怕，便放了起来。放完的冲天炮飞上天空，像一朵五彩的花，撒落下来。晚上八点，我们又看了春节晚会表演，真精彩呀!

New Year Party

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."

Hi! Peter,

I’m glad to know you are having a good time in Chengdu.

TheSpring Festival isthe most important festivalin China.Itis a custom togive lucky money to children. I get lucky money every year. I will put most of it in the bank, andspend the rest onsome books. This year is no exception(也不例外) and I also got lucky money.With it, I bought some school things for several poor students in Ningxia，hoping the things can bring some happiness to them.

I hope what I said can help you.

Yours,

Li Hua

Far and away the most important holiday in China is Spring Festival， also known as the Chinese New Year。 To the Chinese people it is as important as Christmas to people in the West。 the dates for this annual celebration are determined by the lunar calendar rather than the GREgorian calendar， so the timing of the holiday varies from late January to early February。

To the ordinary Chinese， the festival actually begins on the eve of the lunar New Year’s Day and ends on the fifth day of the first month of the lunar calendar。 But the 15th of the first month， which normally is called the Lantern Festival， means the official end of the Spring Festival in many parts of the country。

The annual Spring Festival will come, every child must be eagerly looking forward to the Spring Festival, there are some things that you like yourself. For example, receive lucky money from their elders, and shopping for new clothes, go to relatives visiting New Year, travel, etc., and my favorite thing is to set off firecrackers and fireworks.

Every New Years day, I will be pestering dad took me to set off firecrackers, and now cant set off firecrackers in town, so my father had to take me to the outskirts to set off firecrackers.

Every time we will buy a lot of different kinds of firecrackers and fireworks.

We put the firecrackers inserted in the ground, lit fuses with incense, my hands tightly cover ears, hiding behind the adults, leaned out half of the head, looked at Zi Zi burning fuses, thinking: Im really open up, to make a pretense of being brave front, or like this fear now? I hesitated, firecrackers have 1 of "bang" bang, immediately scatter the paper scraps, dust float in the sky, a taste of the smoke filled the air... I also cried for joy!

Of course, the most spectacular fireworks or night. Put the heavens like a blooming chrysanthemums some fireworks, some fireworks put god first in a small circle, then round like a water wave amplifier, and each one the color of the circle is different! Some fireworks put god scattered down like fountain "wow"... All sorts of colorful fireworks,, the multicoloured, dresses the sky like glittering palace, very beautiful...

Looking at the sky of fireworks, listening to the scratching of firecrackers everywhere, home of the New Year come again!

一年一度的新春佳节又要来到了，想必每个小孩都很急切地盼望着过春节，都有一些让自己喜欢的事情吧!例如：收到长辈给的压岁钱，四处逛街买新衣服，去亲戚家串门拜年，去旅游等等，而我最喜欢的事情就是放鞭炮和烟花了。

每到过年，我都会缠着爸爸带我去放鞭炮，现在城里都不能放鞭炮了，所以爸爸只好带着我到郊外去放鞭炮。

每次我们都会买很多不同种类的鞭炮和烟花。

我们把鞭炮插在土里，用香点燃引线，我双手紧紧地捂住耳朵，躲在大人身后，探出半个脑袋，看着嗞嗞燃烧的引线，心里想：我到底是把手放开，跳到前面做出一副勇敢的样子，还是就像现在这样害怕的样子呢?我还在犹豫中，鞭炮已经“嘭”的一声爆炸了，顿时纸屑四散，尘土飞扬，空气中弥漫着一股硝烟的味道......我也高兴得大叫起来!

当然，最壮观的还是晚上放的烟花。有的烟花放上天像一朵盛开的菊花，有的烟花放上天先是一个小圆圈，接着像水波一样一圈一圈地放大，而且每一个圆圈的颜色都不一样呢!有的烟花放上天就像喷泉一样“哗”地散落下来.....各种五颜六色的烟花交织在一起，此起彼伏，五光十色，把夜空妆扮得如同灯火辉煌的宫殿一样，十分美丽......

看着满天的烟花，听着四处噼里啪啦的鞭炮声，热热闹闹的新年又来到了!

The first day is for the welcoming of the deities of the heavens and earth, officially beginning at midnight. Many people, especially Buddhists, abstain from meat consumption on the first day because it is believed that this will ensure longevity for them. Some consider lighting fires and using knives to be bad luck on New Years Day, so all food to be consumed is cooked the day before. For Buddhists, the first day is also the birthday of Maitreya Bodhisattva (better known as the more familiar Budai Luohan), the Buddha-to-be. People also abstain from killing animals.

Most importantly, the first day of Chinese New Year is a time when families visit the oldest and most senior members of their extended family, usually their parents, grandparents or great-grandparents.

Some families may invite a lion dance troupe as a symbolic ritual to usher in the Lunar New Year as well as to evict bad spirits from the premises. Members of the family who are married also give red packets containing cash to junior members of the family, mostly children and teenagers.

While fireworks and firecrackers are traditionally very popular, some regions have banned them due to concerns over fire hazards, which have resulted in increased number of fires around New Years and challenged municipal fire departments work capacity. For this reason, various city governments (e.g., Hong Kong, and Beijing, for a number of years) issued bans over fireworks and firecrackers in certain premises of the city. As a substitute, large-scale fireworks have been launched by governments in cities like Hong Kong to offer citizens the experience.

About the gift money, there is a widely circulated story. In ancient times, a demon called "evil spirit", the thirty night of sleeping with his hand to touch the childs head, children are often scared to cry, then headache fever, become a fool. Therefore, every family to sit on this day liangzhaodeng not sleep, called "keep away evil spirits".The couple have a son in old age, as a baby.

In thirty years the night, they were afraid of the "evil spirit" to harm children, took eight coins to play with the kids. Children play tired to fall asleep, they put eight coins wrapped in red paper on the childs pillow below, the couple not sleep a wink. In the middle of the night the ghostly wind blowing open the door, blew out the lights," evil spirit" has just reached out to touch the childs head, the pillow will burst with flash, scared" evil spirit" and ran away. The very next day, the couple put eight coins wrapped in red paper scare, "evil spirit" and told everyone, after we learn to do, the children the world is at peace.The original eight coins is 0.08 change, the secret to protect the child. Because the "evil spirit" and "old" homophonic, then gradually evolved into" gift money".

关于压岁钱，有一个流传很广的故事。古时候，有一种小妖叫“祟”，大年三十晚上出来用手去摸熟睡着的孩子的头，孩子往往吓得哭起来，接着头疼发热，变成傻子。因此，家家都在这天亮着灯坐着不睡，叫做“守祟”。

有一家夫妻俩老年得子，视为心肝宝贝。到了年三十夜晚，他们怕“祟”来害孩子，就拿出八枚铜钱同孩子玩。孩子玩累了睡着了，他们就把八枚铜钱用红纸包着放在孩子的枕头下边，夫妻俩不敢合眼。半夜里一阵阴风吹开房门，吹灭了灯火，“祟”刚伸手去摸孩子的头，枕头边就迸发道道闪光，吓得“祟”逃跑了。第二天，夫妻俩把用红纸包八枚铜钱吓退“祟”的事告诉了大家，以后大家学着做，孩子就太平无事了。

原来八枚铜钱是八仙变的，暗中来保护孩子的。因为“祟” 与“岁”谐音，之后逐渐演变为“压岁钱”。
