美国文化和历史英文作文【汇总20篇】

A folk culture is a small isolated， cohesive， conservative， nearly self-sufficient group that is homogeneous in custom and race with a strong family or clan structure and highly developed rituals. Order is maintained through sanctions based in the religion or family and interpersonal. Relationships are strong. Tradition is paramount， and change comes infrequently and slowly. There is relatively little division of labor into specialized duties. Rather， each person is expected to perform a great variety of tasks， though duties may differ between the sexes. Most goods are handmade and subsistence economy prevails. Individualism is weakly developed in folk cultures as are social classes. Unaltered folk cultures no longer exist in industrialized countries such as the United States and Canada. Perhaps the nearest modern equivalent in Anglo America is the Amish， a German American farming sect that largely renounces the products and labor saving devices of the industrial age. In Amish areas， horse drawn buggies still serve as a local transportation device and the faithful are not permitted to own automobiles. The Amish＇s central religious concept of Demut "humility"， clearly reflects the weakness of individualism and social class so typical of folk cultures and there is a corresponding strength of Amish group identity. Rarely do the Amish marry outside their sect. The religion， a variety of the Mennonite faith， provides the principal mechanism for maintaining order.

By contrast a popular culture is a large heterogeneous group often highly individualistic and a pronounced many specialized professions. Secular institutions of control such as the police and army take the place of religion and family in maintaining order， and a money-based economy prevails. Because of these contrasts， "popular" may be viewed as clearly different from "folk". The popular is replacing the folk in industrialized countries and in many developing nations. Folk-made objects give way to their popular equivalent， usually because the popular item is more quickly or cheaply produced， is easier or time saving to use or leads more prestige to the owner.

华盛顿自然历史博物馆，是世界上规模最大的自然历史博物馆之一，是世界上最大的博物馆体系史密森尼博物馆所属的十六所博物馆之一。下车了，我带着满心的好奇心，恨不得立刻就冲进博物馆。

然后我迫不及待地进了博物馆，只见一个以古典风格设计的圆形大厅，大厅中央，是一个大象标本。这个大象栩栩如生的，看起来与活的大象没有区别，只是不会动。我们到处游游逛逛，看到了许许多多标本。有一个水母标本，红红的，约有三米高，红红的“伞”，红红的“须”，非常漂亮!还有一只海鸟，它的翅膀长得不得了，是一条优美的弧线，让人担心，它的翅膀会不会折断。还有许许多多远古时代的海底生物骨骼化石。

更有趣的是：很多博物馆都在每个地方写“禁止触碰”，可是我们走到了一个地方有许多展品没有摆在玻璃陈列柜里，旁边还有一块牌子，我还以为是叫人们：“不要碰!”的呢，没想到仔细一看：呀!上面写着：“Pleasetouch”(请触碰)我惊讶了!还以为是看错了，没想到我反反复复读了5遍，啊!还真的是让我们触摸，了解这种海螺的呢!我便“touch”了一下，它的表面很粗糙，纹理不怎么清晰，但很坚硬。时间过得很快!我们还没有参观那个叫“希望”的钻石呢!于是我们狂奔上2楼，只见这时一个硕大的钻石，有人的半个耳朵那么长、宽。又厚又大，在灯下，闪闪发光，璀璨夺目，无比迷人。展示台旋转着，让周围围得水泄不通的“人墙”中的每一个人，都能从正面欣赏它。这粒钻石有45.5克拉重，它是该是博物馆的镇馆之宝。

在它被捐进这所博物馆之前，他会给每个拥有它的人带来灾难。不是家破人亡，就是各种不好的事发生。因为这样，它的最后一个买主就把它捐给了博物馆。

要回去了，我告别博物馆前的树木化石，告别这美丽的博物馆…

中国是四大文明古国之一，五千年悠久绵长的历史长河淘洗了无数的文化遗产。北京的长城，故宫，西安的秦陵兵马俑，郭煌的莫高窟，玉门关，江浙的同里，乌镇自不必说，即便是开埠百年的上海滩的万国建筑，城隍老街的弄堂石路，哪一样不是历史的见证，文化的足迹?

要让世界了解中国，我们就必须继承中国的文化，保护身边的文化足迹。记得央视的《实话实说》曾就一颗千年古榕该不该砍做过讨论，人们都从实用主义出发认为不能砍，唯独梁从诫先生说了一句：“想一想吧，它出生于李白的年代啊。”这句唯一从文化传承的角度看待千年古榕的话不禁令人深思，冯骥才先生也说：“没有心思写小说。”当里弄胡同被“罗马花园”“澳洲别墅”吞没时，他投身城市文物拯救中，使天津的估衣街得以保存，民族的就是世界的，中国的文化复兴便在这点滴之间。

同时我们的眼光也要放远，西方文明同样使全人类的文化瑰宝，我们也应传承。歌剧与京剧，卢浮宫和颐和园等，它们的地位是一样的，在全球化的进程中，文化必然向多元化发展，在承认不同时，更需要强调一个“和”字。一个现代人要了解各地的文化，进而尊重他人的文化，使筷子的握刀叉的互相尊重欣赏，这才是全人类的幸福。

当然，传承人类的文化遗产离不开人们的慎视，要取其精华，去其糟粨，中国封建传统中的三纲五常，忠君思想，西方的唯心，主义霸权主义作为人类文化思想遗产的负面代表，是要不得的。

时代在发展，一味抱着文化遗产终无所成的，正如鲁迅先生说的;“不生育不流产而等待一个英伟的“宁馨儿”终是不可得的，对待全人类的文化遗产，我们仍需要创新，事实上，文化传承的过程本身就是创新过程，我们继承中华传统文化时，必然受西方新思想的影响，新的文化便在我们手中诞生，历史是发展的，终有一天我们创造的也会成为未来的文化遗产，要让后人看到不断丰富的文化，我们不创新，更何待人?

我们必须明确，今天我们保护人类的文化遗产，传承文化是以现实与未来为目的的，过分脱离时代的文化终会被淘汰。

导语：自从盘古开天，人类就在大地上生生不息地一代一代繁衍下来。从此，人类的历史就有了曙光。下面是yuwenmi小编为大家整理的写作素材，欢迎阅读与借鉴，谢谢!

10年前的今天，江泽民主席庄严宣告中华人民共和国香港特别行政区正式成立。今天，我们在这里隆重举行本次演讲，庆祝香港回归祖国10周年。此时此刻，我们大家心中都充满了喜悦之情。

1842年，清政府在鸦片战争失败，与英国签订南京条约，香港被永久割让，正式成为殖民地。一百多年来，中国人民曾经为收复香港作过英勇顽强、不屈不挠的斗争。但是，由于中国的落后、封闭、贫弱，这些斗争都失败了。

现在，被侵占近两个世纪的的香港，终于以和平的方式回到了伟大祖国母亲的怀抱。香港的回归是中国人民洗雪百年国耻的大喜事，是全世界华人的大喜事，也是全世界爱好和平的人民的大喜事。是完成祖国统一大业的重要步骤。

1949年中华人民共和国的成立，开辟了中国历史的新纪元，最终结束了列强的帝国主义对中国的统治。建国后特别是党的十一届三中全会后实行的改革开放，使我国国力大增，国际地位日益提高，为香港的回归奠定了坚实的基础。

香港回归祖国10年来，同祖国内地的关系日益密切。中央政府高度关注香港的发展，全力支持香港同内地加强在各个领域的交流和合作。包括实施内地与香港更紧密经贸关系安排、开放内地地区居民个人赴香港旅游，为香港的发展注入了活力、拓宽了空间。与此同时，香港同胞的国家观念和民族观念进一步增强。在中央政府支持下，实践证明，伟大的社会主义祖国始终是香港发展的坚强后盾。

在此扬眉吐气、举国欢庆香港回归的日子里，我们更应当牢记住历史的教训刻苦顽强努力拼搏，学好文化专业知识，培养适应时代需要的各种能力，以更加昂扬向上的姿态，迎接中国历史的新曙光，跨入充满挑战和希望的新世纪。让我们衷心祝愿香港这朵祖国美丽的紫金花开放得更加绚丽多彩!

Franklin is the Founding Father who is seen as the master of home-spun(朴素的) practical wisdom. Of humble origins, Franklin began as a printer and writer (the author of Poor Richards Almanack), then became an inventor and scientist, and concluded his long career as the consummate(完美的) diplomat. He played a key behind-the-scenes role at the conventions that led to the Declaration of Independence and the U.S. Constitution.

富兰克林是美国开国元勋，被誉为朴素、务实的智慧大师。他出身贫寒，最初从事印刷和写作(《穷人理查德年鉴》一书的作者)，后成为发明家和科学家，最后作为杰出的外交家结束了漫长的职业生涯。他从幕后为各种重要会议发挥了关键作用，最后导致《独立宣言》和《美国宪法》的诞生。

George Washington (1732-99)

The first president of the United States and the American commander in chief during the War of Independence from Great Britain, Washington is often called the "Father of His Country." Originally a gentleman farmer from Virginia, Washington showed great leadership qualities as a soldier. Highly popular with the American public, he was eulogized by a member of Congress as "first in war, first in peace, first in the hearts of his countrymen."

乔治?华盛顿(George Washington, 1732-1799)

华盛顿是美国第一任总统，在摆脱英国统治的独立战争(War of Independence)时期担任总司令，常被尊称为“国父”。他原是弗吉尼亚州(Virginia)一位从事农业的乡绅，后成为一名军人，表现出非凡的领导能力。他在美国公众中享有崇高的声望，一位国会议员曾赞颂他

是“英勇作战第一人，争取和平第一人、國人心中第一人”。

Thomas Jefferson (1743-1826)

Jefferson was the primary author of the Declaration of Independence in 1776. "We hold these truths to be self-evident," he wrote, "that all Men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Happiness." Jefferson, who was later elected the third president of the United States, also wrote the state of Virginias law establishing religious freedom and founded the University of Virginia. 托马斯?杰佛逊(Thomas Jefferson, 1743-1826)

杰佛逊是1776年《独立宣言》主要起草人。他写道：“我们认为下面这些真理是不言而喻的 : 人人生而平等，造物者赋予他们若干不可剥夺的权利，其中包括生命权、自由权和追求幸福的权利。”杰佛逊后来当选美国第三任总统。他还起草了弗吉尼亚州保障宗教自由的法律，并创办了弗吉尼亚大学(University of Virginia)。

Sacagawea (ca. 1786-1812)

A young woman of the Lemhi Indians in present-day Idaho, Sacagawea helped the Lewis and Clark expedition in 1804-06 explore vast newly acquired lands in the American West. Sacagawea, who spoke several Indian dialects, served as a guide and interpreter to various Native American tribes during this peaceful expedition. When the expedition encountered the Lemhi band, she arranged for the Lemhi to provide the horses, provisions, and shelter that made the journey to the

Pacific Ocean possible. One of Sacagaweas descendants, Willow Jack, is pictured in authentic costume.

Abraham Lincoln (1809-1865)

President during the American Civil War, 1861-65, Lincoln is revered for having kept the Union together and freeing the slaves. A legislator from Illinois, Lincoln won the Republican nomination for president and was elected on an anti-slavery platform in 1860. As a result, 11 southern states seceded and war began. In the Gettysburg Address, he stated his resolve “that government of the people, by the people, for the people, shall not perish from the earth.”

亚伯拉罕?林肯(Abraham Lincoln, 1809-1865)

林肯在1861年至1865年美国南北战争时期担任美国总统，他因维护美国统一和解放黑奴而广受尊崇。林肯原是伊利诺伊州(Illinois)联邦议员，后获共和党提名为总统候选人，1860年以反对奴隶制的政纲当选总统。此后，南方11个州脱离联邦，引发美国内战。林肯发表的葛底斯堡演说(Gettysburg Address)表示，决心“使民有、民治、民享的政府与世长存”。

Susan B. Anthony (1820-1906)

Appalled that the 15th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution (1870) guaranteed the right to vote to newly freed slaves but not to women, Susan B. Anthony led a group of women to the polls in Rochester, New York. She was arrested several times for trying to vote, and later organized the International Woman Suffrage Alliance. She died in 1906, having paved the way for the ratification of the 19th Amendment, which granted American women the right to vote in 1920. 蘇珊?安東尼(Susan B. Anthony, 1820-1906)

蘇珊?安東尼对1870年美国宪法第15条修正案表示极为不满，因为该修正案只保障新获得解放的奴隶有选举权，但不给妇女同样的权利。她带领一群妇女去纽约州罗切斯特(Rochester, New York)投票站表达抗议。她因试图投票参加选举多次被捕，后来组织了国际妇女选举权同盟(International Woman Suffrage Alliance)。她于1906年逝世，但她为1920年保障妇女选举权的第19条宪法修正案获得通过创造了条件。

Albert Einstein (1879-1955)

The foremost physicist of the 20th century, Albert Einstein developed the theory of relativity, which overturned previous ideas on the nature of the physical universe. Born in 1879 in Germany, he developed his important ideas as a young man. In 1933, Einstein took a position with the Institute for Advanced Studies in Princeton, New Jersey, and became an American citizen in 1940."

富兰克林?戴莱诺?罗斯福(Franklin Delano Roosevelt, 1882-1945)

罗斯福以其乐观的精神和政治智慧帮助美国渡过了南北战争(the Civil War)以来最艰难的时期：大萧条(the Great Depression)和第二次世界大战(World War II)。他于1933年就任总统，执政长达12年。在此期间，美国经济得到恢复，轴心国军队(the Axis forces)被打败。罗斯福是贫苦民众心目中的英雄，但众多工商界人士并不认同他在“新政” (New Deal)时期实施的经济和社会改革。

Franklin Delano Roosevelt (1882-1945)

Franklin D. Roosevelts optimism and political savvy helped carry the United States though its greatest domestic crisis since the Civil War: the hard times of the Great Depression and World War II. He assumed the presidency in 1933 and—during his 12 years at the helm—saw his country recover economically and triumph over the Axis forces. FDR was a hero to the poor, but many businessmen did not favor his economic and social reforms, called the New Deal.

约翰?菲茨杰拉德?肯尼迪(

John Fitzgerald Kennedy, 1917-1963)

肯尼迪具有卓越的领导才能，建立了众多的业绩，风度优雅，充满智慧和魅力，人们经常怀着感念的心情回忆他担任美国总统的三年时光。在德克萨斯州达拉斯(Dallas, Texas)，刺客的一颗子弹夺走了他的生命，但是他激励了千百万人民。1962年，他以坚定的意志抗击来古巴的苏联导弹威胁，以后又与苏联进行合作，缓和了核军备竞赛。他还创立了争取进步联盟(Alliance for Progress)及和平队(Peace Corps)。

John Fitzgerald Kennedy (1917-1963)

People everywhere look back nostalgically to JFKs three years as president of the United States because of his leadership, his accomplishments, and his grace, wit, and charisma. He inspired millions before he was killed by an assassins bullet in Dallas, Texas. Although not afraid to stand

对于佛山人，醒狮是儿时那点难忘的记忆，是辟邪的吉祥物，更是人们对美好生活的追求与寄托。锣鼓声一响，便知那狮子要随节奏舞动了。

那是一次偶然的机会，与香港学生一同前往龙狮训练基地观醒狮，内心的激动自是不言而喻，可面对香港学生的疑惑，身在醒狮发祥地的自己却感到无比愧怍。

谈笑声渐渐散去，厅堂内寂静无声，我的目光聚集在铁桩台的一侧，只见师傅手握狮嘴中的一个木柄，捋顺狮身上的毛，准备上场。

一个突然，站在铁桩台后的拿鼓锣敲的师傅举起手中乐器开始演奏，震耳欢快的锣鼓声，响彻厅堂，交织一片。两个举着狮子的师傅，摆正姿势，迈着轻快的步伐，出场的嘴巴上下张合，眼睛炯炯，似是要放出光来，踩着令人眼花缭乱的步伐，逐渐走向铁桩，这时狮纵身一跃，稳稳地停在铁桩台上，旋即一个狮立，傲视全场。我内心对醒狮师傅的敬仰油然而生，狮毛在灯光照耀下更显柔滑，顺整个狮身倾斜而下，太壮观了！掌声与锣鼓声夹杂在一起，如闻霹雳，又似洪水涌来，望着香港学生眼中的惊叹，我不禁为此而自豪。

转眼的恍神，狮已急转回头，继续在铁桩群里灵活地跃上、落下，鼓声忽然停息，我屏住呼吸，狮猛地向前扑去，四脚悬空，狮身急速往下坠，全场惊呼，这时却见狮用前脚紧紧夹住铁桩，后脚向上一蹬，落在铁桩台上，不见丝毫疏漏。这才松了一口气。

狮子从铁桩上下来，走到观众席前与我们互动，指尖抚过柔软的狮毛，心生崇敬。随着“砰、砰、砰”的鼓声，狮子退回表演台前，凝神、甩头、鞠躬，这便是完美的谢幕。顿时潮水般的掌声袭来。

在我拼命拍掌，意犹未尽时，忽听见师傅在一旁大声教导徒弟：“现在练习上桩，口号喊大声点。”我转过头去，只见一个个像我这么大甚至比我还小的少年举起了狮头，刚开始他们还缩着头，后见师傅一个一个口号地吼着，他们便一个接一个大胆的跃上了桩，场面壮观，拨动着我的心弦，这是醒狮的传承吧，一次次的跳跃与翻转，便是师傅授予徒弟的醒狮最精华的部分，无言，只是震撼。

后来，我明白醒狮带给佛山人的，是表演时的喜悦，是对未来平安的祝福与希望，更是代代宗师的坚守与少年的传承。

只愿醒狮精神永流传，如狮眼里迸发出的种种火光，坚毅纯粹。

泱泱大国，五年前的文明古国，近代，却饱受欺凌，泱泱大国随之覆亡，这是我们的耻辱，是我们国家的耻辱，是我们民族的耻辱。

但是我们不能不说中国文化的博大精深，自三皇五帝，至如今，五千年的风雨岁月中，中国是举世闻名的礼仪之邦、文明之邦、文化之邦，唐诗宋词元曲……这都是古人的智慧结晶，使我们现代人的骄傲。

自夏朝建立以来，王朝不断的进步，宣布立法，建造宫殿，创立文字，夏王朝的发展，为后世的的发展奠定了基础，商王朝的觉醒，更加的轰动世界，他不断发展，不断壮大，最终成为当时世界大国，商王朝的的青铜器更加闻名于世，青铜器的是商王朝闻名于世的历史标志。

历史总在不断的变化，周最后取代了商，八百多年的大周王朝，他立法严明，经济发达，最终成为历史延续最长的朝代，由于周朝后期的战争频繁，内部矛盾不断，导致周朝灭亡。

秦朝在历史上有举足轻重的地位，他统一了分裂的华夏大地，统一了文字，同意了货币……为秦朝成为世界当时世界大国奠定了基础。

汉王朝在武帝刘彻的带领下，不断的壮大，汉朝成为四方朝拜，万国称臣的打过，张骞出使西域，更加为汉朝增添了威望。

直到唐朝中国的文化达到了鼎盛时期，出现了李白、杜甫等一大批优秀的诗人，经贞观之治开元盛世，唐朝进入了一个经济鼎盛时期，当时的长安成为世界最大经济都市。

陈桥事变宋朝建立，宋词又是唐诗之后又一诗词体系，同时也出现了像辛弃疾，李清照一批词人。

清朝的建立实行闭关锁国政策，使西方国家不断超越中国，最后导致中国落后于世，不断的受欺凌。

我国是一个文化博大精深的大国，我们应为他自豪，为他骄傲。

此一类应重在“感悟”。例如刚刚结束的初三语文期中考试，作文题目是“我的经典阅读”，该题目要求同学们有一定的文学底蕴。什么是经典阅读?在读名著或是名家名篇的赏析中，掌握书中的“意象”，提取精华，是为“经典阅读”。

在这里要强调的是希望同学们在课余时间应当多读书读好书，体会名著、经典作品的魅力。避免阅读过多的网络小说，因为网络小说在描述中往往将生活理想化，过于空洞直白。

在阅读中要有足够的耐心，读书或者阅读文章力求做到“读透一篇文章，读好一本书”，深刻体会作者写作的意象，多角度把握作品，全方位联系生活。

不过我也深知同学们目前课业负担很重，很难拿出大块的时间来阅读课外书籍，我向大家推荐一个APP“喜马拉雅”。“喜马拉雅”中有很多经典的有声书籍，大家可以利用碎片时间(例如上学路上，放学的地铁里，洗澡时)听有声书籍，节约时间又能达到阅读经典著作的目的。

在一个阴云密布的早晨，露珠站在小院的花草上，而教学楼的喧闹，打破了这宁静的早晨。今天是去社会实践活动的日子，我们将要去历史悠久的大足石刻。同学们都兴高采烈地在教室里等待老师，然后带领同学去坐大巴车。

有着八百年的名胜古迹——大足石刻是我梦寐以求的地方，那里有着许多的石像，有些雕刻着栩栩如生的石像。经过两个半小时的路程我们终于来到大足石刻。一下车，我就迫不及待地想去看看，但前面雾太大，什么都看不清。先换上了相似古代的衣服，花色斑斓，然后就来到门口前，那里的石桌上都摆着一些东西。

我们先在门口前合了影，再去拜孔子。我学者前面的讲解员，两手相叠，向孔子鞠躬，看见桌上的毛笔、纸和书卷，就用毛笔写“人”字。接着就诵读经典弟子规，最后由老师为我们点朱砂，一个个头上都有着拇指大的朱砂印，就进入了门口。

上午我们学习了如何泡茶，而下午则是我最喜欢的事情：参观石像及博物馆。

讲解员带领我们来到景点，那里的墙壁都雕刻着许多的佛像，每个佛像都不一样：有些石像小的像水桶；有些石像大的像树木；有些石像又高又廋；有些石像又胖又矮。我觉得这些石像的雕刻人一定很有智慧，把笨重的石头变成美丽的石像，栩栩如生，每个石像都有属于自己的故事。接着又来到一座寺庙，我很好奇，走进去一看：“哇——”这尊佛像与众不同，是千手观音！每只手臂和佛像都是用金帛雕刻而成的，而每只手上都有一个法器，雕刻的这个人肯定花费了不是精力和心血，每一步都小心翼翼，绝不会有一点马虎儿。我细细端详着，看见有些地方都装修过，可能是经过这么久的时间，连再好的材料都会溃烂，不堪入目。

最后来到了博物馆，参观了一些佛像及一些珍贵画，馆中的每一件物品都是无价之宝，那些残缺的佛像，更能体现出它的古老。

今天是我最开心的一天，八百年历史的大足石刻让我感受到这里的古文明历史悠久，也让我明白在外出玩耍的时候务必文明参观，不许诋毁文物，做一个文明人。

在同一件文物上，用不同的方式来讲，传播的效果差异很大。身处互联网时代，人们接受信息的方式正在发生变化。作为电视产品，历史文化类栏目不能是阳春白雪的学术派，而应放下身段。《国家宝藏》力求通过电视呈现的手段让文物“活起来”，通过具有艺术观赏性的设计来为观众展出“国宝”，并对每一件文物背后的故事、历史进行充分解读。让观众在懂得如何欣赏文物之美的同时，也了解文物所承载的文明和中华文化延续的精神内核。就像主题曲唱的：“一眼千年，沉默也胜万语千言，只有你有幸能描述这光明似箭。”

《国家宝藏》从一开始就以高度的文化自觉，努力将传统文化与当代文化结合起来，努力实现传统文化的现代性转化。这一追求，从第一期节目即可窥见一斑。首期展现了来自故宫博物院的三件文物，每一件都有一段“前世传奇”与一个“今生故事”，还有跟它一起血脉相依的守护人。这一切，都能让观众真切感受到：这些文物历经风雨而来，每一个都是饱满的生命、岁月的传奇。

文物不是尘封的古董，《国家宝藏》让我们感受到了“一眼千年”中日日流淌、从未褪色的文化自信。这档雅俗共赏的文化节目，是续接历史、让昨天与今天生动对话的过程，是把历史辉煌与当代文明融合的过程，是让国宝级文物从冰冷的橱窗里“走”出来，让人感知其澎湃生命力的过程。这样的节目，也是让博物馆里的宝藏真正生发其独特价值，引发公众对优秀传统文化产生骄傲自豪的过程。如此格局开阔、气势磅礴的节目，值得我们继续期待。

“子曰：学而时习之，不亦说乎；有朋自远方来，不亦乐乎；人不知而不愠。不亦君子乎。”“子曰：学而不思则罔，思而不学则殆。”“子曰：为政以德，譬如北辰，居其所而众星共之。”这一个个子曰当中串起来的是孔子儒家的经典学说，是流芳百世的为人处事之道。

自秦始皇时期，百家争鸣，到汉武帝推崇儒家学派，这期间的光阴岁月将儒家学说冲洗得愈发光彩照人。春秋时期，孔子开坛讲座，将儒学推入鼎盛，《论语》便在这无数次的锤炼之中如同蚌壳里的珍珠一般诞生。

《论语》全书一共二十篇，字字珠玑，围绕着一个“仁”字展开论述。哲学，政治，教育，伦理，文化等方面，无一不渗透着“仁”在其中的深刻内涵。我想，这便是儒家吸引众多学子，拥有众多拥戴者的原因吧。

那么何为“仁”呢？孔子认为，“仁”是自身的一种品质，是君子不可缺的精神，而要称得上是仁德的人，更是在各个方面都要谨言慎行，匡正自己。像“先行其言而后从之”。“君子不器”等等，诸如此类的观点，只不过是千万品质中的九牛一毛。

现实生活中，我认为称得上君子的人几乎没有，因为君子已经相当于一个完美的存在，而人都是有瑕疵的，就像玉一样，没有人能说这块玉是绝品，只能说为精品，所以我们所谓的君子就像是反比例函数一样，只能无限靠近x，y轴，却永远也不会重合。但是难道永远不重合就干脆连靠都不靠了吗？显然不是的。开口向上和向下的二次函数代表了两个不一样的人生。开口向上明明知道永远延伸到不了尽头，但是却拼命的努力上进着，这应该就是我们的人生，开口向下的，却一味地堕落，所以最后连起点也够不到。

除去仁之外，孔子也尤为重视孝道。对父母。“父在”要“观其志”，“父没”要“观其行”，并且“三年无改于父之道”，这样就算是孝道了。全书中关于孝道从不同方面做了很多论述，在我看来，“孝”这个字说容易也容易，说难也不简单。一个“子”上面加个“老”的上部分，构成“孝”，如果你认为“孝”就是每个月甩给父母几千块钱，美其名曰是报答父母，还不如说是在还债。而早在几万年前的孔子都知道，“事父母”要“能竭其力”也就是要用心，竭尽自己的力量。这正是我们千千万万的子女们缺少的。

《论语》是千年精华的荟萃，它就像天上的太阳，在很久以前就指引照亮着人们，千百年后依然光辉闪耀，不曾被岁月所尘封。

上海巨鹿路888号。好城市、好地段、好门牌，这么个“三好”最近不太好。

坐落于此的一幢老洋房遭到新主人的拆除，引起舆论大哗。事情并没有随着拆毁终止而宣告结束，更多的声音在讨论：为什么如此缺乏人文关怀、为什么历史建筑不能让人敬畏?

的确，一座有着近百年历史的建筑被毁，令人扼腕。可我想反问一句：如果被毁的不是洋房，而是贵州山区的一座百年老屋，还会有这么多人鸣不平吗?

以我小人之心揣度，恐怕一座乡间老屋不会引起知识精英们的义愤。同样是老建筑，洋房和农村老屋有何区别，我们为何要保护洋房呢?

晚清已降，西方文明以坚船利炮护航传入古老帝国，西风东渐，已垂百年。现代文明以西方为中心，近代开埠之通商口岸成为最早受到欧风美雨栉沐所在，租界内建起了造型不一的小洋楼，万国建筑博览馆南有申江，北有津门。

迩年，各地都在打造文化名片，曾经租界林立的城市多为晚近兴起的工商业都市，缺乏历史积淀，洋房成了对外输出城市文化的不二选择。

在我们的城市管理者、知识分子眼中，洋房有艺术美感、文化价值和城市自豪感。不可否认，租界内的生活方式超迈同时代的华界，今天国人海外疯狂抢购的冲洗马桶盖，早在70年前，租界里的上层社会已使用上了。

知识分子天然的彼岸存在感，令他们对过往和外来，无不保留着强烈依恋，概念不清的“民国范儿”不就是某些精英们念兹在兹的吗?

洋房经文化人的锦心绣口被描绘地无限美好，神圣不可侵犯。可惜，我们的精英只注重讲结果，忽略了过程，洋房是从哪来的?不论我们赋予它多少溢美，都不该忘记一个基本事实，这些都是殖民主义的产物，优雅、高贵、先进的背后是中国近代屈辱史的见证。

在我们宣介洋房、租界历史的时候，应该从源头讲起。高耸奇拔的哥特式、广远奇诡的巴洛克式背后，是一桩桩不平等条约、一次次割地赔款，完整的历史不该被碎片化理解。

诚然，很多知识精英是不大乐于这样看问题的。在他们看来，殖民带来了文明，带来了现代化。从结果看，这种结论不错，但是本末倒置。

以此类推，《赛德克·巴莱》中的高山族兄弟根本没有起义的必要。日本人为他们建起了医院、学校、邮局，让他们从山中的蒙昧人享受到现代化生活，这是在启蒙啊，为何要反抗呢?

这就涉及程序正义的问题，小洋楼的优雅不能掩盖一并带来的血腥和罪恶，文明只能自觉接受，不能强迫灌输。

看待历史要完整、客观，洋房的历史不仅有上流社会的衣香鬓影，曲水流觞，更有嗷嗷待哺的饥民，遭受无情压榨的底层劳动者。在口口声声“民国范儿”的先生们眼里，民国是黄金时代，心驰神往，无以复加。那是因为他们的眼睛只向上瞧，他们的“民国范儿”是官僚买办范儿、少爷小姐范儿、贵族名媛范儿，浑然不见饱受战火荼毒，挣扎在生死线上的平民。从完整的视角看待民国，实在太不美好。

历史建筑的价值，无外乎艺术价值和人文价值。评价一个建筑物该不该被保护，就是从这两方面入手，而不是用土与洋区分。

如果不具备以上两层价值，那么年代久远的建筑被拆除并不值得惋惜。譬如，贵州山区的一座老屋危房被拆，盖起的是新房，各方面都比原先改善，我们是该欢呼山民生活质量提高，还是哀婉历史建筑多舛?

急声呼吁保护洋房，还有一层文化不自信、不自洽的心理在骚扰着知识精英。西学东渐的结果之一是摧毁了国人的文化自信，首先我要声明这种冲击很有必要，否则我们还沉浸在不切实际的自满之中。但是，一个有着世界性影响的文明会走入绝境吗?中华文明经过冲击，不应该是浴火重生，走向新的文明吗?

这种文化不自信、不自洽在知识分子身上普遍存在，看歌剧就雅、看京剧就土;喝红酒时尚，喝白酒落伍;起英文名高端，起表字酸腐…….如此斑斑，不一而足。看看北京前几年盖起的一众新地标，这些西方建筑师在噩梦中得来的灵感试验品，过上若干年也是老洋房。如果它们被拆，我们的知识精英会不会也嚎啕大哭呢?

如果再有老建筑被拆除，我希望大家问一问它深层的艺术价值和人文价值，而不是纠结于浅层、廉价的“人文关怀”。拆了一个民国年间的日式厕所也如丧考妣一般，精英们的精神状态真是令人隐忧。

This past Independence Day, I saw two things that disturbed me greatly: First, people bashing America and its shortcomings; Second, people defending America blindly, while giving no thought to others’ criticisms. I’m a liberal and I more than acknowledge that there are problems with our country. Our executive branch is larger and more powerful than I’d like, our education system is broken, and our economic policy is not optimal for growth. I also know America has a lot of ugly secrets in its past. From the genocide of Native Americans to slavery to our foreign policy nightmare with Latin America in the early twentieth century, it’s easy to see why so many are angered by the jingoistic attitude that July 4th celebrations can incur. But I also recognize how remarkable of an achievement it was for those few men to break away, in the name of independence, and take a risk by establishing a democracy back in 1776. I also recognize that although the sins of our Founding Fathers were great, their accomplishments were greater, leaving a legacy of democracy and national sovereignty that would spread like wildfire throughout the world. The revolution was important and the ideals that this country was founded on, ideals of equality, respect for one another, and a commitment to progress, are ideals to be proud of, even if we don’t always live up to those ideals. I know many liberals hate to hear it, but the majority of the world is worse off than us, from third world countries to dictatorships, the world has got a lot of bad in it. And the much longer, more troubled histories of nations such as England have more mistakes and terrible acts in them than ours do. America has ideals and a commitment to democracy and freedom you can find nowhere else. Our spirit is strong and even if our government doesn’t live up to that spirit all the time, our citizens strive for it. Independence Day isn’t about petty squabbles and historical smear campaigns. This day is about celebrating our achievements and our ideals, acknowledging our mistakes, and reaffirming our commitment to make this country better so that, one day, those principles that the men who drafted our Declaration of Independence put forth, will be fully realized.

This Thursday is Thanksgiving Day. The writer O’Henry called it the one day that is purely American. Thanksgiving is not a religious holiday. But it has ritual meaning. Some Americans attend religious services on the day before Thanksgiving or on Thanksgiving morning. Others travel long distances to be with their families. They have a large dinner which is the main part of the celebration. For many Americans, Thanksgiving is the only time when all members of the family gather. The holiday is a time of family reunion. Thanksgiving week is generally one of the busiest travel times of the year. However, experts say this year probably will be different. On September 11th, thousands of people died when terrorists hijacked airplanes that struck buildings in Washington D.C. and New York City. Many people now say they are worried about flying on a plane. Travel experts say almost 6 percent fewer people will make long trips this Thanksgiving compared with last year. Many Americans who usually visit family and friends by plane are driving shorter distances instead this week. Some mental health experts say the attacks have frightened people. They say people feel safer and happier close to home. More than any other holiday, Thanksgiving is a celebration of family and home. Many people say that this year they are especially thankful for their families and friends and the good things in their lives. On Thanksgiving, people enjoy a long day of cooking, eating and talking. The traditional meal almost always includes the turkey with a bread mixture cooked inside. Other traditional Thanksgiving food served with turkey are sweet potatoes, cranberries and pumpkin pie. Stores are said to sell more food at Thanksgiving than at any other time of the year, and many people eat more food at Thanksgiving than at any other time of the year. Over the years, Americans have added new traditions to their Thanksgiving celebration. For example, a number off professional and university football games are played on Thanksgiving Day. Some of the games are broadcast on national television.

第三篇：美国文化

American culture, in a sense, is an extension of European culture, because the language of the Americans, demographic composition and her spirit of the foundation are from Europe. On the other hand, American culture with Europe, because European immigrants in the North American continent to drive away after taking the Indians, in a barren wilderness land to create a stunning is the splendid civilization. Therefore, in the United States talk about cultural practices and social propriety, it is necessary to take account of the same culture of Europe and the United States, but also pay attention to both of the opposite sex. Cultural practices is a wide scope and complexity of the topic, people involved in social life and relations In all aspects.

Of tolerance.

The United States is a country of immigrants, the ancestors from around the world. People emigrated to the United States, not only in the location to move on, but also in their country and customs of the council to a new place of residence. As miscellaneous, people their differences very obvious because the differences are very common, people do not particularly pay attention to unity. In time, the cultural practices of the Americans formed a higher level of tolerance (tolerance), the different cultures and different appraisals on tolerance, an acceptable attitude. At this point, the U.S. society feasible than the custom of other countries in the world more broadly.

From a political perspective, this tolerance of performance in the pursuit of freedom and the right to freedom of maintenance. From the religious that it reflected in the harmonious coexistence of different faiths. From the viewpoint of life, and it appeared in different communities, different ethnic communities live in peace. In a nutshell, in the United States, each person can basically arbitrary choice of different ideas, beliefs, traditions and customs and way of life; people can also keep a considerable extent, their customs and instrument. For example, Jews can celebrate their religious festivals, and Christians are to their Christmas and Easter. For example, again, the United States by Chinese in Chinatown Chinese live and work; the same token, the Vietnamese immigrants in their "little Saigon" according to Vietnams way of doing business and engaged in various activities.

Americans of tolerance, in addition to the above United States is a country that factors other than immigration, and the frequent movement of the Americans. As everyone knows, the history of the United States in the development of an important part of her history of the development of the western region. At that time, the United States Blazers or hiking, horseback or car, from east to west, from north to south, wherever there are opportunities, there Jiuwang resettlement. The frequent migration and continuous replacement of the Habitat so that people will always be in the "mobile", and the occasional different facing the phenomenon of tolerance and more easily accepted. Moreover, the current migration also can help people expand the field of vision, known more widely know, the different practices with sympathy, understanding, and gradually formed diversity rather than uniformity of the openness of the concept.

As the Americans tolerant of stronger, so very few Americans to impose its will on other people, with China Confucius "by the others do not want to, not to impose on" the very Guxun like. For example, a husband may be a Republican, but he must not support the Democratic Party forced his wife to change political stance. Similarly, perhaps the mother is a Catholic, but she must not have forced her into a Muslim convert son to change religion. In their daily lives and habits of business in normal times, this spirit of tolerance is a common occurrence, commonplace.

翻译：

美国文化,从某种意义上说,是欧洲文化的延伸,因为美国人的语言、人口构成和她来自欧洲的精神基础。另一方面,美国文化与欧洲,因为欧洲移民在北美大陆印第安人赶走后,在一个贫瘠的荒野地创建一个惊人的是灿烂的文明。因此,在美国谈论文化习俗和社会规范,有必要考虑相同的欧洲和美国的文化,但也注意到这两个异性。文化习俗是一个广泛的范围和复杂性的话题,人们参与社会生活,在各方面的关系。

的宽容。

美国是一个移民国家,来自世界各地的祖先。人移民到美国,不仅在位置移动,而且在他们的国家和风俗理事会的新居住地。杂,人们分歧非常明显,因为差异是非常普遍的,人们并不特别关注团结。随着时间的推移,美国人的文化习俗形成了一个更高层次的公差(公差),宽容不同文化和不同的评估,一个可接受的态度。在这一点上,美国社会可行的比世界上其他国家的习俗。

从政治角度看,这种宽容的性能追求自由和维护自由的权利。从宗教,它体现在不同信仰的和谐共存。从生活的角度,它出现在不同的社区,不同的民族生活在和平。简而言之,在美国,每个人基本上可以任意选择不同的观念、信仰、传统、习俗和生活方式,人们也可以保持相当大的程度上,他们的习俗和乐器。例如,犹太人可以庆祝他们的宗教节日,而基督教徒,他们的圣诞节和复活节。例如,美国,中国在唐人街中国生活和工作,同样,越南移民在他们的“小西贡”按越南的方式经营和从事各种活动。

美国人的宽容,除了上面的美国是一个非移民因素的国家,和经常运动的美国人。众所周知,美国历史发展的一个重要组成部分的西部地区的发展的历史。当时,美国开拓者或徒步旅行、骑马或汽车,从东到西,从南到北,哪里有机遇,Jiuwang安置。频繁的迁移和不断更换栖息地,这样人们将永远是“移动”,以及偶尔的现象所面临的不同更容易宽容和接受。此外,经常迁移还能够帮助人们扩大视野,了解更广泛的知道,不同的实践同情、理解,并逐渐形成多样性而非均匀性开放的概念。

强大的美国人宽容,所以很少有美国人将自己的意志强加于他人,与中国孔子“别人不想,不要对“Guxun像。例如,丈夫可能是个共和党人,但他必须不支持民主党迫使他的妻子改变政治立场。同样,也许妈妈是天主教徒,但她决不能强迫她进入一个穆斯林把儿子改变宗教信仰。在日常生活和习惯的业务在正常情况下,这种宽容精神是一种常见的发生,司空见惯。
