Last Qingming Festival,i return home to worship my grandfather.Qingming

Festival is a folk Festival.In the past,the Qingming Festival was called "Arbor

Day". But Today, Chinese visit their family graves to tend to any underbrush

that has grown. Weeds are pulled, and dirt swept away, and the family will set

out offerings of food and spirit money. Unlike the sacrifices at a familys home

altar, the offerings at the tomb usually consist of dry, bland food. One theory

is that since any number of ghosts rome around a grave area, the less appealing

food will be consumed by the ancestors, and not be plundered by strangers.

With the passing of time, this celebration of life became a day to the

honor past ancestors. Following folk religion, the Chinese believed that the

spirits of deceased ancestors looked after the family. Sacrifices of food and

spirit money could keep them happy, and the family would prosper through good

harvests and more children.

During the winter vacation I did a lot of things. But I think this is the most meaningful thing. Do you want to know what it is? Let me tell you.

One day I was taking a bus to the park. There were so many people on the bus that some people had to stand. Suddenly an old man got on the bus. The driver said to the passengers,"Please give the old man a seat." But nobody gave his seat to him. I was angry at this. In our society respecting the old and cherishing the young is a traditional virtue. Id like to say "Please offer your love to others!"

From this thing I recognize that its important for us to help the people in difficulties.

At seven o clock in the morning, we prepare to master and old milk grave, grave is a fresh thing for me, we take tools and set off.

Walking the winding mountain road, I cant wait, after about an hour, we came to the master and old grandmas grave, a year didnt come, graves are covered with wild grass, you well after the division of labor, began to busy, everything is in place, we started to burn money, along with the smoke, I seem to see their shadow, they told me: study hard and cherish life.

清晨的七点,我们准备给老爷和老奶扫墓,扫墓对我来说可是件新鲜的事,我们拿上工具,出发了。

走在蜿蜒的山路上,我已迫不及待了,大约过了一个小时,我们来到了老爷和老奶的墓前,一年没来,坟墓上长满了荒芜的草,大家做好分工后,纷纷开始忙碌起来,一切就绪后,我们开始烧纸钱,随着袅袅炊烟,我仿佛看到了他们的影子,他们告诉我:好好学习,珍惜生命。

是啊,人的一生苦短,每天都要活得快乐,要不断超越自我,超越自我,梦想终会实现;超越自我,梦想化为动力;超越自我,创造美丽人生!我认为生命就在不断的超越自我,超越梦想!在山上,城市的房子尽收眼底,山中开满了金黄金光的油菜花,深呼一口,幽淡的花香,清新的空气,那些花以不可抗的动力诠释着生命的意义!

Tired of the dull day of the holiday, there was a habit of walking on the street。

Some in the crowd whispering, some cigarette in the limited, some in the head sigh。。。。。。 suddenly I felt a moment of silence。 The mouth parched and tongue scorched after a child shouted: Daddy, grandpa is not cold? yes! everyone seems to be inspired by the what, many people began negotiations with the owner。 Under the watchful eyes of the people, the owner blushed, everyone help homeowners。 To restore the confidence, and the boys to act tough and talk soft helped the old man into the room, a middle-aged man has Fengfenghuohuo beside the restaurant brought in hot surface。

厌倦了假期白日的平淡,于是就有了在街道上散步的癖好。

刚出门,天就微雨,似夜空中的雾,沾满了一身,夜风凉飕飕的。幸好街道两旁的店家灯火给寒冷平添了几许暖意,我缩着脖子走向黑暗。蓦地一声断喝在平静中震荡耳膜:喂,老头,快起来!快走开啊!随着声音在一处屋檐的阴影中发现了一个蜷曲着的老人。伴着不同的差异,人们不约而同地围了过去。

接着屋里的一片灯光,我打量着老人发抖的身子,低垂的蓬乱的头发,破旧的衣裤。。。。。。不由地打了个寒颤。周围的人越聚越多,叫喊的人自然是房主,但大家都不知道老人的来历。

人群之中有的在窃窃私语,有的在有限地点烟,有的在摇头叹气。。。。。。我忽然感到口干舌燥了。片刻沉默后,一个童音在嚷:爸爸,老爷爷不冷吗?是啊!大家似乎是受到了什么启发,好些人开始跟房主交涉,众目睽睽之下,房主涨红了脸,:大伙帮个忙。房主恢复了自信,和几个小伙软硬兼施地把老人扶进了房内,一个中年人已经风风火火地在旁边的饮食店中拿来了热腾腾的面。

好些人散去了。我--一位看客,从裤兜里抽出手,耳边回响起幼稚的童音,在羞愧中重新迈开脚步。

This holiday is busy and happy.

I was very busy this holiday is not only to write my homework, and review the content of the term, to prepare for next semester content, but also take notes, but also on the class, also...

Holiday homework at least two weeks to finish, much homework. Elementary school little homework can be finished in a week, but I dont think of elementary school holiday time, because of much homework can increase knowledge, enhance the content of the last semester, also is not very good?

Review content have to use two weeks last semester, though much more content than primary school, but I still learned the nature can a bit faster. Review when I dont feel bored, I feel very interesting, I can not only greet old friends and I can also like a detective to find out in the first semester, I didnt catch the bad guy. (the so-called bad is easily wrong was delayed)

And prepare for next semester content at least three weeks for next semester content point much more difficult, to note down the concept of light effect is not big, but also digest, understanding, etc. To solve the problem. But I dont bother me just regard the knowledge I wont be as I dont know, I want to make friends with him. And cant forget him, I hope my friends can be a little more.

In addition to the above content I have classes, see the name on the to increase my knowledge, but also in the study of buying new things. Learning time often in 10 hours a day or so. Anyhow I am very busy every day.

Ah! This is the most busy holiday, the holiday is the most tired! But the holiday was more fulfilling than my previous holiday! More satisfied! More happy!

这个假期是忙碌的同时也是快乐的。

这个假期我非常忙碌不仅要写作业,还要复习上学期内容,还要预习下学期内容,还要做笔记,还要上学习班,还要……

假期作业至少两个星期才能写完,作业很多。小学时作业很少一个星期就可写完,但我并不怀念小学假期的时光,因为作业多可以增加知识,加强上学期的内容,也不是很好吗?

复习上学期内容也得用两个星期,虽然内容比小学的多很多,可我还是学过了自然能快一点。复习的时候我并不觉得无聊,我觉得非常有趣,我不仅可以和我的老朋友打招呼还可以像一位侦探一样来揪出我上学期没有抓住的坏人。(所谓坏人就是易错易误点)

预习下学期内容起码也要三个星期因为下学期内容重点多难点多,光把概念记下来效果也不大,还要消化、理解、做题等。但我不烦我只是把我不会的知识看成我不认识的人,我要和他交朋友一样简单。并且不能忘记他,我希望我的朋友可以多一点。

除了以上内容我还要上学习班、看名着来增加我的知识,还要在学习之余买过年的东西。一天学习时间常常在10个小时左右。总之我每天都很忙碌。

啊!这是最忙的假期,这是最累的假期!可是这个假期是比我以前的假期更充实!更满足!更快乐!

篇13:清明节假期日记400字

在我小的时候,节日对我来说就是放假的日子。但其中有个节日,大人们总要提到扫墓、上坟之类的话,让我觉得怪怪的。后来,我学了杜牧的《清明》:“清明时节雨纷纷,路上行人欲断魂。”让我隐隐约约的觉得清明节带着莫名的悲伤。今年,老师给我们讲了清明节的来历和习俗,让我真正的认识到了清明节的含义。

今年的清明节特别的冷,下午还下起了雪,这让我不禁想起了几天前班级出的黑板报,主题是“缅怀革命先烈,做新时代好队员”。“杨靖宇、刘胡兰、黄继光、董存瑞……”一连串先烈的名字在我头脑中显现,是他们用自己的生命给我们创造了今天的幸福生活。如今倡导文明祭扫,我积极响应大队部的号召,通过“网络祭祀”的方式向英烈献花寄语,寄托哀思。我想,今年我才真正过了一个有意义的清明节。

我现在似乎理解了妈妈曾经给我读过的一篇有关清明的文章,他说:“清明节不仅仅是一个节气,一个节日,也是一个节点,用来标注逝去与过往,铭记与传承”。是呀,这一天就是让我们静下心来,用我们的方式感怀前辈的恩德与风范。

The Spring Festival

The Spring Festival,Chinese New Year,is the most important festival for all of us。 All family members get together on New YearEve to have a big meal。At the same time,everyone celebrates to each other。At about 12 oclock,some parents and children light crackers。The whole sky is lighted brightly。 We may watch the fireworks excitedly。How busy it is!

On the first early moring of one year,many senior citizen get up early and they stick the reversed Fu or hang some couplets on the front door。 Some houses windows are sticked on red paper cutlings。

The Chinese New Year lasts fifteen days。 So during the fifteen days,we always visit our relatives from door to door。 At that time,children are the happiest because they can get many red packets form their parents,grandparents,uncles,aunts and so on。 The last day of the Chinese New Year is another festival。 It names the Lantern Festival。

So the Chinese New Year comes to the end。

Will Christmas Replace the Spring Festival?

Christmas arouses increasing attention year by year in China。 Christmas cards become 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 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—ventureworkers。 Another reason is that Christmas is mostly celebrated in cities。 Few people in countryside show extreme interest in this exoticfestival。 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 welcome the beginning of a new year。 And we will treasure the Spring Festival forever。

My plan of next year

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。

week-long holidays,good or bad?whats your opinion?

our national day is coming. we shall have days of rest,presumably weeklong holidays again just like the weeklong may day holidays. many people welcome weeklong holidays and are busy planning where and how to spend the seven days;whereas many other people do not applaud. as to me, weeklong holidays mean a span of dullness, boredom, melancholy and helplessness, and i think anyone who had experienced the holiday sufferings in may would share my feelings.

i well remember that from may day, to be more exact, a few days earlier than may day, the shopping season started.most shops extended their shopping hours to respond to their overwhelmingly enthusiastic customers. there were special sales with discount coupons and instant lucky draws and various sales promotions in nearly every big store to lure po tential customers into spending more. crowds of shoppers flocked towards department stores, enjoying their high purchasing power.

there were traffic jams almost everywhere, people waited in long queues at bus-stops:and taxi-stands? looking entirely exhausted.tempers flared when people gotpushed or if someone else cut the queue.impatient drivers honked at each other every now and then.

the railway station was congested with travelers who rushed to the platform like a swarm of bees and then squeezed their way into the train for seats as if there would be no tomorrow.

in the restaurants, tables were shared. a platoon of waiters filed out from the kitchen armed with various containers of eatables. orders were taken feverishly and then shouted across to the kitchen. excitement reigned everywhere as waiters ran hither and thither to fill the orders.

the above are just some vivid scenes that happened a few months ago. everywhere was chaos and chaos everywhere. i am really afraid the drama will soon be repeated.

true,weeklong holidays help activate economy, but what about after-holiday depression? no doubt, people can have a lot of leisure, but leisure does not always bring a lot of pleasure.
