关于春节文化的英语作文（实用20篇）

每年农历的第一天，就是春节，可它是怎么来的呢？

传说很久很久以前，有一个叫“年”的怪物，每到农历的第一天，它就会下山把山下人们的猪、羊、牛这些动物统统吃掉，有时会吃几个人。而且人们为了躲避“年”还要逃到一座山上去呢！有一次一位老爷爷来到人们住的地方，说他能打败“年”，人们叫他多加小心，然后就爬到山上去了。

老爷爷睡了一觉后，“年”就来了，但老爷爷并不害怕，而是穿了一套红衣，在离房子有点远的地方放了几个饭团，然后用竹子燃起了火。“年”看到饭团后很好奇，就拿了个尝，可是饭团太黏，把“年”的嘴巴都粘上了，“年”只能垂头丧气地回去了。它突然听到烧竹子的声音，因为它非常害怕那声音，就大惊失色的逃跑了。

人们回来了，他们看到老爷爷还安然无恙，很好奇，就问他经过，老爷爷把经过告诉了人们，人们听了很高兴，就兴高采烈的开了一场联欢会，“过新年”就这样产生了。后来人们把那一天叫“春节”

过春节真是中华民族传统文化内容之一啊！

中国有许多传统节日,但我最喜欢过年。每到新年，家家户户喜贴春联，敲锣打鼓，张灯结彩，送旧迎新的活动热闹非凡，每一个人脸上都洋溢着节日的喜悦。但你知道吗，过年为什么会有这些喜庆的活动呢？这里面有着一个美妙的神话传说故事，现在让我来讲给你们听听吧！

传说中，古时候有一种叫“年”的怪兽，它长着锋利的牙，尖尖的角，凶猛无比。“年”长年深居海底，每到新年的晚上，怪兽就会爬上岸，去袭击山角下的一个小村庄，吞食牲畜，伤害人命。村里人知道会来怪兽，把门锁的紧紧，可是不管怎样，“年”就会进来，偷吃村民的东西，伤害人畜，大家都害怕极了，但又无能为力。

这一年的除夕，人们正准备扶老携幼去避难。这时，一位仙翁走过来，他告诉村民“年”怕红色和响声，人们听了连忙准备了红对联贴在门上。晚上，“年”又来了，它一见红色，听到锣鼓声阵阵，吓得赶紧逃跑了。从此，村里太平了。以后每逢过新年家家户户都贴春联、贴年画、放鞭炮，这个习俗一直延续至今，还越传越广，逐渐成了中华民族最隆重的传统节日。

春节不止有传说，还有许多习俗呢！比如贴窗花、贴春联、贴年画、吃饺子，发压岁钱、穿新衣、放爆竹……其中，我最喜欢发压岁钱。因为，每到发完压岁钱，我都会跑到文具店，买新的文具，学新的知识。我还可以用压岁钱买很多的书籍和好玩的玩具。压岁钱还代表着长辈对我的美好祝福，它是长辈送给孩子的护身符，保佑我在新的一年里健康吉利。

我最喜欢热闹的春节了，你最喜欢什么呢？

小年，即每年农历腊月23或24，它是庆祝整个春节活动的开始和伏笔，主要活动有两项：扫年和祭灶. 扫年，即扫尘，实际上就是搞家庭环境卫生。北方人以腊月23为小年，称“扫房”;南方人以腊月24为小年，称“掸尘”.这一天每家每户黎明升起，扫房擦窗，清洗衣物，刷洗锅瓢，实行彻底的卫生大扫除.据《拾遗记》记载这个习俗可以追溯到3000多年前，当时先民驱役鬼，祈福安康的宗教仪式.后“尘”与“陈”谐音，故扫尘就是一扫而光陈旧的东西，这既指庭院里的陈年老垢，也指旧岁中碰到的不快。

祭灶，即祭送灶神升天.古代，科技不发达，人们奉灶神为了控制家庭饮食的神明，认为灶神要在小年晚上向玉帝述职，玉帝对这家的赏罚全在灶神的汇报了.祭灶的祭品中最具民俗的是“糖瓜”，一说糖瓜是甜的，可使灶神在玉帝面前只说甜言蜜语;一说糖瓜是粘的，可以粘灶神的牙，使他的坏话出不了口.祭祀时，将供奉一年的灶神像揭下，焚化，算是送祭升天.至今民间仍有“糖瓜祭灶，新年来到”之说。

除夕，是指每年农历腊月的最后一天(今年公历二月六日)，它与春节(正月初一)首尾相连。“除夕”中的“除”字是“去;易;交替”的意思，除夕的意思是“旧岁至此而除，新年明晨而始”，故此期间的活动都围绕着除旧部新，禳灾祈福为中心。 除夕的主要活动有三项：吃团圆饭，祭祀，守岁。其中最有特点的还是守岁。

守岁，俗称“熬夜”，即除夕之夜，达旦不眠。传说，远古时侯有一种凶猛的怪物叫“年”，它每到腊月的最后一天夜里出来吞食人畜，危害百姓。后来，人们发现它的弱点是怕火光，怕声音，于是人们便在除夕之夜，通宵不眠，燃起火堆，焚烧青竹，使其发出爆响，年这个怪物也就不敢出来为非作歹了。从此就留下了除夕晚上熬夜和放炮的习俗。不过，守岁还有一项重要的工作：包饺子，而且还必须包素馅的饺子，这是为了希望在新的一年里“素素净净，平安顺利”。还有人在饺子里放糖，花生等物，吃到糖者意味着生活甜蜜，吃到花生者意味着长寿。

注意，守岁还有不少禁忌，如禁扫地，过小年时，平时很难触及的角落都要打扫干净，而进入除夕至大年初一早晨，即使地面再乱也不能扫，习惯上认为那样会“破财”。再如，禁用剪刀，禁说“没有了”凡此种种，都是人们盼望吉祥的心理反映。

关于春节的英语作文（2）：

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 （有吸引力的）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-venture （合资企业）workers. Another reason is that Christmas is mostly celebrated in cities. Few people in countryside show extreme interest in this exotic（带有异国情调的） festival. 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.

春节是中国人民非常重要。在过去，人们不可能经常有肉，大米或其他美味的食物。在春节期间他们只能吃这些。所以每一年他们希望春节很快就会来的。现在，虽然人们的生活要好得多，我们可以每天吃美味的食物。人们仍然喜欢这个节日。因为大多数人可以有很长的假期，我们可以去旅行或访问我们的朋友和我们家有聚会。在晚上，我们可以有一顿大餐在餐馆或呆在家里和我的家人看电视节目。

我非常喜欢春节。春节是多么美妙！

During these days, people would say "happy new year! or wish you make fortune! to each other. They would also visit their relatives and friends. Children would be given "red packets". Children would have more to eat and play than usual.Playing firecrackers is also a popular game for children.

“啊，过年了，过年了！”李想大吼着，我也跟着起哄：“过年了，今天可要高高兴兴地玩一天。”同时心里又想着：“嘻嘻嘻嘻，终于又要得压岁钱了，这次一定赚翻了，呵呵呵。”我在那里乐着，李想像老鼠一样，轻手轻脚的走到我身边，拍一下我的肩膀，“啊”的大吼一声，把我的魂都吓飞了，李想却说：“你乐什么，走，我们到楼下玩去。”

我们高高兴兴的玩了一上午，好容易等来了晚上，我和李想，姐姐不约而同的跑出家门，来到了小区的院子里。我和李想一见，立刻来了一个热烈的拥抱，可是，姐姐一见，却在旁边大吐舌头，惹得我俩怒目圆睁。经过了这戏剧性的场面之后，大家伙们都兴高采烈地玩了起来。

或许一些人等不及了，还没到九点钟就开始放礼花，响声震耳欲聋。我们才不管呢，拿着手花在小区里乱舞，一个接一个，成了小区里一道靓丽的风景。我们大家蹦呀、跳呀，玩得可开心了。李想还做了一件大坏事，那就是拿着手花吓唬我，我怕惹火烧身，急忙连连后退。可还是被石头一绊，全身弄得脏兮兮的，真是气死我了，她们却还笑翻了天，真是可恶！后来，我和李想捡来两根空礼花棒，变着戏法玩起来。李想突发奇想，向我提了一个建议：“我俩来‘开战’，用礼花棒作武器，但不能伤人……。”李想一说完，我俩便开始了“世纪之战”，我一棒打过去，李想一挡，我的棒子变成了双截棍。李想趁我不注意，灵机一动，从我后面打了我一下，然后跑到我前面，趁我往后面看时，又打了我一下，我立刻回击，打到了李想的头，我俩玩得兴起，忽视了姐姐，她气得跑上楼去。

我和李想费了九牛二虎之力也没把她拉下来，真够重量级的。我想：“如果她再长肥一点，应该有够资格去参加胖妞选美赛了。”终于，在我俩的软磨硬泡下，姐姐答应和我们一起下去，结果走到半路又一溜烟没影儿了。

天色已晚，我和李想告别，上楼和爸爸、妈妈一起等待虎年的到来。伴随着新年钟声的敲响，天空即刻被焰火染成了美丽的画布，五彩缤纷，真是美丽极了。火树银花交织在一起，把我们的生活装点得更加美丽，愿我们的明天更美好。

"Oh, the new year, the New Year!" Li Xiang shouted, I also followed the booing: "the Chinese new year, today will happily play a day." At the same time, thinking again: "hee hee hee, finally have to have to pay the age of money, this time make sure to turn over, ha ha ha." I am happy with where Li Xiang like mice, cautiously without any noise came up to me, patted me on the shoulder, "ah" roared, my soul is scared to fly, Li Xiang said: "what, you go downstairs to play our music."

We played happily all morning, and it was easy to wait for the evening. Li Xiang and I ran out of the house with my sister and came to the yard of the district. Li Xiang and I saw, and immediately to a warm embrace, but my sister saw, but big tongue beside, provoked me two glaring eyes. After the dramatic scene, all of the people were playing with joy.

Maybe some people cant wait, and they dont start to put fireworks at nine oclock, and the noise is deafening. We do not care, take the start of flowers in the community dances, one after another, became a beautiful scenery in the community. We all jumped and jumped, and we had a good time. Li Xiang also has done a bad thing, that is to take the flowers to scare me, Im afraid backfired, hurried back again and again. Can still be a stumbling stone, all dirty, really mad at me, but they still smile over the days, really hateful! Later, Li Xiang and I picked up two empty fireworks and played with the tricks. Li Xiang whim, made a suggestion to me: "I have a" war ", with fireworks stick as a weapon, but not hurt......." Li Xiang says, we began a "battle of the century", I was in the past, Li Xiang a block, I stick into the nunchaku. Li Xiang hit me on the back while I was not paying attention and brainstorm, and then ran to me. When I looked back, he hit me again. I immediately returned the blow and hit Li Xiangs head. We both rose and ignored our sister, and she ran upstairs with anger.

Li Xiang and I spent a tremendous effort didnt pull her down, so heavy. I think: "if she should have a little fat, fat enough to attend the pageant qualification." Finally, in the US under my sister promised to join us on the halfway and swiftly disappear.

It was late. I said goodbye to Li Xiang and went upstairs with my father and mother to wait for the year of the tiger. With the sound of the new years bell, the sky was instantly stained with fireworks and beautifully painted canvases. It was beautiful and beautiful. Fireworks are intertwined, our life more beautiful, we wish a better tomorrow.

【篇一】

中国的传统节日有很多，如：春节、元宵节、清明节、端午节……其中，我最喜欢春节了。

关于春节，有一个流传很广的故事，我来给大家讲讲吧。古时候，人间出现了一个怪物，叫“年”，每到大年三十，“年”就会从地洞里出来去吃人，人们都害怕得不敢睡觉，他们聚在一起说话，好像想将“年”要吃自己的事情忘掉。有一次，一个小孩在院子里玩，突然，“年”来了，“年”张开血盆大口，要吃小孩。小孩一慌，把一个鞭炮扔到火堆里，噼里啪啦，噼里啪啦!一阵震耳欲聋的声音响起来，“年”听到，害怕极了，顿时浑身起了鸡皮疙瘩，一溜烟跑了。从此，每到大年三十，人们就放鞭炮，“年”再也不敢来了。

到了春节的前几天，家家户户都要把家里打扮得焕然一新;除夕这天，家家户户贴对联，聚在一起吃团圆饭;春节这天，孩子们也穿上了很漂亮的衣服，大人、小孩都露出了幸福的笑容，相互祝福道贺。

我喜欢春节。

【篇二】

在我国的传统节日里面，我最喜欢的就是热闹的春节。春节是怎么来的呢

很久很久以前，有一个叫“年”的怪物，它经常在冬天欺负住在山里的人们，有一些人想把它除掉，也有一些人想把它赶走。有一天“年”又来了，许多人家里都遭到了袭击。只有几户挂着红布帘，门外生着火堆或敲敲打打闹翻天的人家没有受到伤害，因此山里的人们知道了“年”怕三样东西。当“年”再来的时候，人们用这三样东西把这个大怪物给赶走了，从此都不敢来伤害人们了。以后代代相传，便形成了过年热闹的习俗。

我喜欢春节，每年的春节我都要去花市。花市里人山人海可热闹了，店铺里的人在大声喊叫着卖各种各样的东西，有的卖艳丽多彩，芬芳迷人的鲜花，有的卖可口的爆米花和好喝的饮料，还有的卖各式各样的玩具。

近年随着我们国家的不断强大，各国的领导人也开始在春节的时候，发表讲话或文章向在本国的华人表示节日的祝贺，中国的春节在世界上越来越有影响力了。

我在春节之前和姐姐看了一部动漫叫做：小门神……

春节这天我就拿着一张纸去问我的爸爸：“爸爸，这个上面是不是门神啊?爸爸!”“对，这张纸上面画的就是门神，门神可以保护我们，他可以避邪驱灾哦!”我爸爸捧着那张纸对我说。

午餐时间到了，我又跑去问妈妈：“妈妈，中午吃什么啦，怎么这么香啊?是什么了，快说!”“啊，今天中午我们吃饺子，好不好呀?”我妈妈一只手包着水饺，眼睛却看着锅里面的水饺问着我。我便对着我妈妈说：“好呀好呀，我去告诉姐姐中午吃水饺喽!”

电脑室门外：我听着从里面传来的一阵阵歌声，我就知道肯定是我姐姐又在玩YY了，我推门而进：“姐姐，你才中午吃什么呀?”“我猜中午肯定吃水饺哦!”我姐姐盯着我看“对呀对呀!姐姐好棒呢!”我的眼睛里闪烁着崇拜的光芒。

帮妈妈买完醋回来后，我一眼就看到爸爸再贴门神了。

午餐时间过了，我和姐姐就在网上找春晚的视频，我们就在那里看春晚，一直看到晚餐开始的时间……

In China, the Spring festival is the first day of the lunar year.

People usually start preparing for the festival one month before it comes. They prepare delicious food, and clean and decorate their homes.

On Chinese New Year’s Eve, the family all get together for a big dinner. They stay up till midnight, and then play fireworks and crackers for good luck. On the first day of the lunar New Year, children put on their new clothes and greet their parents. They are very happy to get lucky money from them.

There was a kindly nobleman whose wife had died of an illness leaving the nobleman and his three daughters in despair. After losing all his money in useless and bad inventions the family had to move into a peasants cottage, where the daughters did their own cooking, sewing and cleaning.When it came time for the daughters to marry, the father became even more depressed as his daughters could not marry without dowries, money and property given to the new husbands family.One night after the daughters had washed out their clothing they hung their stockings over the fireplace to dry. That night Saint Nicholas, knowing the despair of the father, stopped by the noblemans house. Looking in the window Saint Nicholas saw that the family had gone to bed. He also noticed the daughters stockings. Inspiration struck Saint Nicholas and he took three small bags of gold from his pouch and threw them one by one down the chimney and they landed in the stockings.The next morning when the daughters awoke they found their stockings contained enough gold for them to get married. The nobleman was able to see his three daughters marry and he lived a long and happy life.Children all over the world continue the tradition of hanging Christmas stockings. In some countries children have similar customs, in France the children place their shoes by the fireplace, a tradition dating back to when children wore wooden peasant shoes.

译文：

关于圣诞节在火炉边悬挂圣诞袜也有一个有趣的传说。很久很久以前有一个心地善良的贵族，他的妻子因病去逝，抛下他和他的三个女儿。这个贵族尝试了不少发明，都失败了，但也因此耗尽了钱财，所以他们不得不搬到一家农舍里生活，他的女儿们也只得亲自烧煮、缝纫和打扫。

一晃几年过去，女儿们陆续到了出嫁的年龄，父亲却变得更加沮丧，因为他没钱给女儿们买嫁妆。

一天晚上，女儿们洗完衣服后将长统袜挂在壁炉前烘干。圣人Nicholas知道了她们父亲的境况后，就在那天晚上，来到她们的家门前。他从窗口看到一家人都已睡着了，同时也注意到了女孩们的长统袜。随即，他从口袋里掏出三小包黄金从烟囱上一个个投下去，刚好掉在女孩们的长统袜里。

第二天早上，女儿们醒来发现她们的长统袜里装满了金子，足够供她们买嫁妆了。这个贵族也因此能亲眼看到他的女儿们结婚，从此便过上了幸福快乐的生活。  后来，世界各地的孩子们都继承了悬挂圣诞袜的传统。有些国家的孩子则有其它类似的风俗，如在法国，孩子们将鞋子放在壁炉旁。

导语：民族传统文化的生态环境遭到不同程度的破坏，传统文化形态逐渐被现代化的生活方式所替代，民族传统文化日渐流失。所以，保护我国的民族传统文化势在必行。下面是yuwenmi小编为大家整理的优秀英语作文，欢迎阅读与借鉴，谢谢!

Dear editor,

I know on your school English newspaper that the readers are expected to have a discussion on the topic of protecting Traditional Chinese Culture. The protection of national and folk culture is of great significance to Chinese cultural diversity and also to the harmonious social development. I have a strong desire to share my personal viewpoints on it.

In my opinion, some measures should be taken to protect traditional culture effectively. To begin with, we should make a law to regulate the society’s performance. What’s more, we should draw more people’s attention to it, for the more they know about the importance of culture protection, the stronger support we can get from the public.

In a word, it is high time for us to treasure and develop our own valuable culture.
