+ 加入清单There are many different beliefs about the origin of the Lantern Festival.
But one thing for sure is that it had something to do with celebrating and
cultivating positive relationship between people, families, nature and the
higher beings they believed were responsible for bringing/returning the light
each year.
One legend tells us that it was a time to worship Taiyi, the God of Heaven
in ancient times. The belief was that the God of Heaven controlled the destiny
of the human world. He had sixteen dragons at his beck and call and he decided
when to inflict drought, storms, famine or pestilence upon human beings.
Beginning with Qinshihuang, the first emperor to unite the country, all the
emperors ordered splendid ceremonies each year. The emperor would ask Taiyi to
bring favorable weather and good health to him and his people. Emperor Wudi of
the Han Dynasty directed special attention to this event. In 104 BC, he
proclaimed it as one of the most important celebrations and the ceremony would
last throughout the night. They clean it all up in the morning.
Another legend associates the Lantern Festival with Taoism. Tianguan is the
Taoist god responsible for good fortune. His birthday falls on the 15th day of
the first lunar month. It is said that Tianguan likes all types of
entertainment, so followers prepare various kinds of activities during which
they pray for good fortune.
Yet another common legend dealing with the origins of the Lantern Festival
speaks of a beautiful bird that flew down to earth from heaven, which was hunted
and killed by some villagers. This angered the Jade Emperor in Heaven because
the bird was his favorite one. Therefore, he planned a storm of fire to destroy
the village on the 15th lunar day. The Jade Emperors daughter heard of this
plan, and warned the villagers of her father’s plan to destroy their village.
The village was in turmoil because nobody knew how should they escape their
imminent destruction.
However, a wise man from another village suggested that every family should
hang red lanterns around their houses, set up bonfires on the streets, and
explode firecrackers on the 14th, 15th, and 16th lunar days. This would give the
village the appearance of being on fire to the Jade Emperor. On the 15th lunar
day, troops sent down from heaven whose mission was to destroy the village saw
that the village was already ablaze, and returned to heaven to report to the
Jade Emperor. Satisfied, the Jade Emperor decided not to burn down the village.
From that day on, people celebrate the anniversary on the 15th lunar day every
year by carrying red lanterns on the streets and exploding firecrackers and
fireworks.
There are many stories on how this festival was created. One other story is
about a maid. In the Han Dynasty, Mr. Eastern was a favorite advisor of the
emperor. One winter day, he went to the garden and heard a little girl crying
and getting ready to jump into a well to commit suicide. Mr. Eastern stopped her
and asked why. She said she was a maid in the emperors palace and her name was
Yuan-Xiao.
She never had the chance to meet her family after she started worked at the
palace. She missed them so much every 12th lunar month. If she couldnt have the
chance to show her filial piety in this life, she would rather die. Mr. Eastern
promised her to find a way so she could reunion with her family. Mr. Eastern
left the palace and set up a fortune-telling stall on the street and disguised
himself as a fortuneteller. Because of his reputation, many people asked for
their fortunes.
But every one got the same prediction - a severe fire accident on the 15th
lunar day. The rumor spread quickly. Everyone was worried about the future and
asked Mr. Eastern for help. Mr. Eastern said, "On the 13th lunar day, the God of
Fire will send a fairy lady in red to burn down the city. If you see a lady in
red wearing green pants riding a black horse on that day, you should ask for her
mercy." On that day, Yuan-Xiao pretended to be the red fairy lady. When people
asked for her help, she said, "Im the messenger of the God of Fire and came to
check on the city and Im going to set up fire on 15th. This is an order from
Jade Emperor. He will watch from the heavens.
I will give you a copy of the imperial decree from the God of Fire. You
should go to ask your emperor to find a way out." After she left, people went to
the palace to show the emperor the decree which reads "The capital city is in
trouble. Fire burns on the palace, and fire from Heaven burns all night long on
the 15th." The emperor of Han Dynasty was very shocked. He called and asked Mr.
Eastern for advice. After pondering for a while, Mr. Eastern said, "I heard that
the God of Fire likes to eat Tang-Yuan (Sweet dumpling). Does Yuan-Xiao often
cook Tang-Yuan for you? On the 15th lunar day, let Yuan-Xiao make Tang-Yuan.
Your Majesty will take charge of the worshipping ceremony and you will give
an order to every house to prepare Tang-Yuan to worship the God of Fire at the
same time. Also, deliver another order to ask every house in the city to hang
red lantern and explode fire crackers. Lastly, everyone in the palace and people
outside the city should carry their lanterns on the street to watch the lantern
decoration and fireworks. If everything goes this way, the Jade Emperor would be
deceived.
Then everyone can avoid the fire accident." The emperor happily followed
the plan. Lanterns were everywhere in the capital city on the night of the 15th
lunar day. People were walking on the street. Fire crackers kept making lots of
noise. It looked like the entire city was on fire. Yuan-Xiaos parents went into
the palace to watch the lantern decorations, and Yuan-Xiao made a big lantern
and wrote her name on the lantern. They happily reunited together after her
parents called her name. Everybody was safe during the night. The emperor of Han
Dynasty had a new order that people should do the same thing every year. Since
Yuan-Xiao cooked the best Tan-Yuan, people called the day Yuan-Xiao
Festival.
Young people were chaperoned in the streets in hopes of finding love.
Matchmakers acted busily in hopes of pairing couples. The brightest lanterns
were symbolic of good luck and hope. As time has passed, the festival no longer
has such implications.
Those who do not carry lanterns often enjoy watching informal lantern
parades. In addition to eating tangyuan (simplified Chinese: 汤圆; traditional
Chinese: 湯圓; pinyin: tāngyuán), another popular activity at this festival is
guessing lantern riddles (which became part of the festival during the Tang
Dynasty), which often contain messages of good fortune, family reunion, abundant
harvest, prosperity and love.

+ 加入清单The Qingming (Pure Brightness) Festival is one of the 24 solar terms in
China, falling on April 4-6 each year. After the festival, the temperature will
rise up and rainfall increase. It is the high time for spring plowing and
sowing. In the past, the Qingming Festival was called “Arbor Day”, but since
1979, “Arbor Day” was settled on March 12 according to the Gregorian
calendar.
But the Qingming Festival is not only a solar term to guide farm work, it
is more a festival of commemoration. It sees a combination of sadness and
happiness. This is the most important day of sacrifice. Both the Han and
minority ethnic groups at this time offer sacrifices to their ancestors and
sweep the tombs of the diseased. On each Qingming Festival, all cemeteries are
crowded with people who come to sweep tombs and offer sacrifices, but the
customs have been greatly simplified today. After slightly sweeping the tombs,
people offer food, flowers, then burn incense and ghost money. In short, it’s a
time to cherish the memory of our ancestors and show our respect to them. Also,
it’s a time for family gathering.

When we look back on the past days, we will be proud of ourselves. The time that
we fight for our dreams deserves to be remembered all the time. This is what
youth means to us.

篇7:我的梦想英语作文初中
全文共 1255 字
+ 加入清单Unlike Martin Luther King’s, my dreams are fair and plain, and there are
many of them. I have a dream from the first time I sit in a car—I want to
drive.
Driving is like running without foot, racing without strength. It’s the
most meaningful way to meet human being’s desire of “faster”. When driving, I
have to put all my spirit to. Operating a car at ease will cost years of
experience.
Driving will take me to my wanting destination, no matter it rains or snows
or winds. I never am afraid of shoes wet, umbrella broken or ears frozen. A car
is rather like a moving house, which protects me completely and helps me rush
directly to the aim hanging ahead. That suits my nature perfectly: love to take
risks conservatively. A smooth ride in a good car is an enjoyable satisfaction.
Seeing rows of trees moving backward rapidly, a feeling of stepping forward will
fill fully in my mind. With music hovering, breeze blowing, my soul flies in the
air.
I was always sick when took a ride of a car, especially when I was young.
Father told me that a driver would never have carsick. That may be one of the
important reasons for me to desire driving.
This summer I am going to learn driving and get my car license. The dream
with all my heart will follow the promise it had made.
篇8:关于克服困难的英语

+ 加入清单Recently, I have seen an impressive film –Precious, which tells the growing
experiences about a pretty fat black girl, Precious Jones, a girl living in the
Harlem. The film reveals the poor and miserable life in the Harlem, but at the
same time, it encourages people to take a positive and optimistic attitude to
face it, no matter how difficult it is.
Precious is so undereducated that she can not read and write formally.
What’s worse, she is usually knocked around by her irascible mother. Worst of
all, she is sexually assaulted by her stepfather and has two children before the
age of seventeen. Owing to the situation she gets involved, she has to leave
school and is introduced to alternative school. After waging many struggles and
overcoming many difficulties, she finds the goals of life again with the help of
her teacher and classmates.
In the film, Precious insists on keeping her children all the time though
she gets involved in trouble. She has a firm belief that she can get rid of the
past life and start the new one and she really makes it finally. Her insistence
tells me that keeping positive and optimistic would make a great contribution to
achieve dream.
In life, many people are easy to feel frustrated by meeting a bit of
setback. As far as I am concerned, we need to learn to keep positive and
optimistic when facing difficulties so that we have more power to keep and
pursue our dreams.

篇11:关于诚信的英语
全文共 999 字
+ 加入清单Today, with the development of Internet, many traditional ways of life have
been changed, especially the way to pay for purchase. The record of credit
occupies important role for everybody, and they need good credit to get loan, so
as to start their business or buy a house. We have come to the age of
credit.
There is a very classic example about the importance of credit. A Chinese
man took the train in Europe. He found no one checked the ticket, so he just
skipped the ticket. He thought he had saved the little money, but when he came
to the bank and wanted to get the loan, he got rejected, because his record of
credit showed he had skipped the ticket, which made him the unreliable man.
The record of credit is the main basis when people asked for loan. The
banks consider the account of money they would borrow according to the credit,
or the departments will check a person’s credit to see if they want to hire him.
The age of credit asks for us to behave ourselves well, or we will live the
tough life.
篇12:传统文化英语作文高3
全文共 938 字
+ 加入清单It is widely noted that lots of traditional culture is disappearing along
with the development of technology. Many ancient architectures and traditional
ways of living have been deserted. It seems that the traditional culture and
craftsmanship will be replaced in this modern era.
The following reasons can account for the above phenomenon. Firstly,
traditional technologies are always considered ineffective while the new
sciences are always highly efficient, because modern science and technology
facilitate both our daily and academic life a lot, with which we can save much
money and time. Secondly, it is costly to protect the traditional culture,
especially the maintenance and repair of the historical buildings.
In my opinion, although traditional culture is an ancient heritage, it
couldnt keep pace with the development of society. It is the tide of history
that the traditional culture and technology will no doubt be eliminated in the
end.

people make use of the high technology to pursue more profit. Though the
government has noticed the problem that people do to the environment, they still
can’t prevent negative result that the polluted environment brings.
Many years ago, the most prominent problem of the polluted environment is
that the river and the water were changed their color, some fish even died for
the polluted river. Now the situation becomes ever worse, lately, in the big
city, like Beijing and Shanghai, people are annoyed by the bad weather. It is
not the rainy day, but the haze around the sky, there is no way for people to
run away for it. The haze contains toxic elements, people breathe it and hurt
their bodies.
The haze problem is the result of people’s pursuit for the profit, what
people did to the environment now has been paid back by the environment. Now
people have realized the revenge from the nature is so huge, protecting the
environment is the main task. No matter how bad the environment is, people still
need to do something to fix their mistake.
篇14:关于代沟英语作文高中
全文共 999 字
+ 加入清单Generation gap refers to the misunderstanding between the old and young.
The term came into fashion after the 1980s. However, in recent years, the
phenomenon is getting more and more fierce.
How does generation gap come into being? The first reason is that the two
generations have grown up in different ages, thus they have different attitudes
toward life. Secondly, due to having little in common with each other, they are
unwilling to sit down and talk face to face. Besides, as modern life is so
stressful, both of them are so busy with their study or work that they have not
enough time to exchange their ideas.
To bridge the generation gap is not easy at all, but we can do something to
shorten it. For one thing, children should respect their parents as well as
accept their good advice. For another, parents should not only show their love
and care to the kids, but also support their good life view. As long as the old
and young can understand each other, it would be more harmonious in family and
world.
