介绍七夕的英语作文

The Double Seventh Festival on the 7th day of the 7th lunarmonth is a traditional festival full of romance. It often goes into August in the Gregorian calendar.

This festival is in mid-summer when the weather is warm and the grass and trees reveal their luxuriousgreens. At night when the sky is dotted with stars and people can see the Milky Way spanning from the north to the south. On each bank of it is a bright star which see each other from afar. They are the Cowherd and Weaver Maid and about them there is a beautiful love story passed down from generation to generation.

Long long ago there was an honest and kind-hearted fellow named Niu Lang (Cowhand). His parents died when he was a child. Later he was driven out of his home by his sister-in-law. So he lived by himself herding cattle and farming. One day a fairy from heaven Zhi Nu (Weaver Maid) fell in love with him and came down secretly to earth and married him. The cowhandfarmed in the field and the Weaver Maid wove at home. They lived a happy life and gave birth to a boy and a girl. Unfortunately the God of Heaven soon found out the fact and ordered the Queen Mother of the Western Heavens to bring the Weaver Maid back.

With the help of celestial cattle the Cowhand flew to heaven with his son and daughter. At the time when he was about to catch up with his wife the Queen Mother took off one of her gold hairpins and made a stroke. One billowyriver appeared in front of the Cowhand. The Cowhand and Weaver Maid were separated on the two banks forever and could only feel their tears. Their loyaltyto love touched magpies so tens of thousands of magpies came to build a bridge for the Cowhand and Weaver Maid to meet each other. The Queen Mother was eventually moved and allowed them to meet each year on the 7th of the 7th lunar month. Hence their meeting date has been called "Qi Xi" (Double Seventh).

Scholars have shown the Double Seventh Festival originated from the Han Dynasty (206 BC-AD220). Historical documents from the Eastern Jin Dynasty (AD371-420) mention the festival while records from the Tang Dynasty (618-907) depict the grand evening banquetof Emperor Taizong and his concubines. By the Song (960-1279) and Yuan (1279-1368) dynasties special articles for the "Qi Xi" were seen being sold on markets in the capital. The bustling markets demonstrated the significance of the festival.

Today some traditional customs are still observed in ruralareas of China but have been weakened or diluted in urban cities. However the legend of the Cowhand and Weaver Maidhas taken root in the hearts of the people. In recent years in particular urban youths have celebrated it as Valentines Day in China. As a result owners of flower shops bars and stores are full of joy as they sell more commodities for love.

初来昆明,天气就把人吓了一跳,很是凉快;街上的人个个都懒洋洋的,可不是吗,谁不图个安逸凉快,这天气把人都养成了神仙。谁也不着急干什么,树下穿着长褂的老头儿倚在竹椅上,眯着眼瞅着自己吐的烟圈,傍晚雨来得很急,也似乎不着急走。磨磨蹭蹭的,好像在天上飞来飞去,像个小孩儿。在这儿猛哭一会儿,见没有人理他,又到另一边哭去了,半夜明明听见雨点猛打着窗子,突然间就没了,还以为是谁在恶作剧。却又是一阵雨打来,早晨爬起来,雨早已自己收拾好眼泪。一溜烟地跑得无影无踪,一点儿痕迹也没留下。

说到水,不由想起了大理的洱海和束河的小渠。相比之下,昆明的滇池就实在太一般了。洱海,顾名思义,形如一只巨耳;洱海其实是一个巨大的高原湖泊,内陆人很难见到海,就把这样的大湖叫成海了。洱海的水是那样清亮,一望无边,闪着粼粼的波光,似乎深藏着大理无穷的秘密和宝藏。洱海紧紧依偎着苍山,苍山环抱着慵懒的云团,湛蓝的天空似乎挽留不住它们漂泊的心。大理古城似乎没有古老的感觉,小商小贩的叫卖声让古城看起来有些喧嚣,而丽江束河古镇就显得清静多了。清晨的束河古镇安静得出奇,后山偶尔传来几声鹰鸣。风掠过大地,草便匍匐在地上。路边的两条水渠静静地流着,时不时发出你追我赶的急促步伐,渠边的一家家商铺还未开门,真有番“小桥流水人家,古道西风瘦马”的情怀。古镇口隐约的流水声夹杂着马蹄银铃声,混合着空气飘出很远。古镇的呼吸湿漉漉的,吐出的水汽全铺在凹凸不平的青石板上。古城同然好风光,但出了镇门,就隐约有些荒芜了。

香格里拉是个神奇的地方,在这里说什么地方是仙境那真是滑稽的事,仅是普达措公园就足以让你大开眼界。初入山谷那种凛冽的寒气让你措手不及,天空又是那样的蔚蓝,白云在它的怀抱里恣意地撒欢儿。冷清的湖面泛着刺骨的幽蓝,像地上一只眼睛注视着你的存在、你的行动和你的轮回,心里充满了神圣与敬畏,会有一种无可名状的恐惧涌上心头。栈道边古树掩映,层层叠叠,倒影在河边,在万籁俱寂中忽然间有几尾鱼从浅岸跃起,牵出巨大的漩涡,掉进水里便没了踪迹。不知名的昆虫伏在树上发出叽叽的叫声,偶尔有几只松鼠跳下树来到路边,等着游人给它们喂食。草原好似锦绸绣织的,布满了彩色的丝线。花儿们都卧在地上,形态各异,映着多彩的眸子,深情地注视着生养它们的大地,还有高大神秘的原始森林。马群在花丛中惊奇地注视着行人,又垂下头来嚼着鲜美的草叶;偶尔几匹马儿跑起,四蹄便溅起飞扬的泥花,缓缓落下。长着巨大盘角的牦牛在栈道边休息,当行人走过时,它们便温柔地摇着头,向你眨眨那双友好的大眼,像池水那么明澈。

云之南,好一幅人间仙境!

Singles Day falls on every November 11th, and as the name indicates, this relatively new holiday is one exclusively for people who are still living the single life. I was a bit surprised when I googled Singles Day on the Internet, to find that China is the only country in the world that has set aside a special day for singles to celebrate their lives. To find out more about this celebration, read on.

Origin of Singles Day 节日起源

Betting 打牌

An old story goes that once there were four single men, leading very boring lives. None of them were married, or had lovers, or did anything exciting. They just sat around all day and played Mahjong.

One day they played Mahjong from 11 in the morning until 11 at night. During the game, no matter who won, the winning card was always the four columns card (the card shows four independent, parallel columns in two lines). Even more of a coincidence, it was Nov 11, or 11/11. In order to commemorate the day, they nicknamed it Singles Day.

故事从四个过着单调生活的单身汉说起。他们没有人结婚,连女朋友都没有,日子过得无精打采,终日打麻将度过。

有一天他们打麻将从早上11点打到了晚上11点。奇妙的是,不管谁赢,都赢在了“四条”上。更加巧合的是,这一天正是11月11号。为了纪念这一天,他们给它命名为“光棍节”。

Last qingming Festival,i return home to worship my grandfather.qingming Festival is a folk Festival.In the past,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.
