It is known to all that China has the history of more than 5,000 years and

the culture influences generations. No matter where people live, they keep the

traditional festivals. Such as the people who live in Chinatown. Though some of

them have been immigrants, they still celebrate the traditional festivals. So in

every corner of Chinatown, the Chinese traditional features can be seen

everywhere. The preservation of the traditional culture is the key to help the

country live so long. After the long period of time, the essence of the culture

part have been inherited while the negative part has been removed. Many culture

even influences the foreign country, such as Confucius Institution, where

foreigners learn Chinese culture and mandarin. Though we are facing the impact

of Hollywood culture, the traditional festivals provides an important way to

save local culture.

One of the oldest Halloween traditions comes from the ancient Celts， who lived in western and central Europe long ago. The Celts celebrated a holiday called Samhain on October 31. After sunset that day， people believed that spirits of the dead would rise and walk the earth. The Celts made offerings of food and drink to keep the spirits away.

Beginning about 2，000 years ago， the Roman Empire conquered many Celtic peoples. But Celtic traditions， including Samhain， remained strong in areas such as Ireland and Scotland， even after the Roman conquest.

The Roman Catholic Church tried to replace Samhain in 835 with All Saints Day， a day to honor saints of the Church. The eve of All Saints Day is October 31. It is called Allhallows or Hallowmas by the Church.

最古老的万圣节传统之一来自于古老的凯尔特人,很久以前住在欧洲西部和中部。凯尔特人庆祝一个节日叫夏末节10月31日。日落之后那一天,人们相信死者的灵魂会上升,地球走。凯尔特人的食品和饮料保持精神献祭。

大约在2000年前开始,罗马帝国征服了许多凯尔特民族。但凯尔特传统,包括夏末节,保持强劲的地区如爱尔兰和苏格兰,即使在罗马征服。

罗马天主教会试图取代835年夏末节所有圣徒的日子,纪念圣徒教会的一天。万圣节前夕是10月31日。它被称为万圣节或万圣节的教堂。

Hate looks up at the usual drink of porridge, dad wants to find Allies, "resistance" together, I didnt think my father is exhaled with relish to eating. Look at mother, grandpa, they also eat very cheerful. This is whats the matter? See my grandpa in become speechless, then put down the bowl, a meaningful intones: "the present Buddha congee is more feedback, the festival new jiang village. Tingting, porridge is treasure, do not waste!" I havent bring myself, mom just openings: "dint (fall) (date), early harvest next year. Tingting, this porridge has nutrition, eat! Eat laba jujube, back schoolbag ran home. Tingting, quick holiday? Dont stay, quick to eat!"

"Oh..." It seems that the porridge still have what meaning! I just took the bowl, dad a voracious, a bowl of porridge has been finished. He put down the bowl and shouted: "laba, not afraid!" Watching strange adults, I also learn to them, "eat". Its strange, after a fierce to drink, the original cold hands become warm rise.

Ate and listen to their talking, I slowly understood: today is December 8, original legend into practice before the Buddha sakyamuni Buddha, December eighth day that day because of hunger fatigue zaidao street, was a shepherdess found, revive with rice porridge, then big end, to enlightenment. Laba day has the tradition of eating laba rice porridge, mixing in the rice grain a total of more than 20 kinds, ate later can increase elongating life, so it is also called "live".

It was fun to drink the laba festival laba rice porridge. This symbolizes the laba rice porridge of live long and prosper, you dont forget December eighth day to drink a big bowl!

今天是腊八节，被寒假快乐冲昏头脑的我早把这个小节日忘记了。

“吃饭了!”爸爸便急忙喊道。的确有些饿，想到马上就能吃到妈妈烧的香喷喷的红烧肉和拿手的糖醋鱼，我赶紧去洗了手。

“什么?今天喝粥?”我望着每人面前的一碗粥，不满地嚷道。抬眼看看平时一样讨厌喝粥的爸爸，想找到同盟，一齐“反抗”，没想到爸爸正津津有味地大口大口地吃着。再看看妈妈、爷爷，他们也都吃得乐呵呵的。这是怎么啦?爷爷看我在发愣，便放下碗，饶有意味地吟诵道：“今朝佛粥更相馈，反觉江村节物新。婷婷，粥是宝啊，不可浪费!”我还没回过神儿，妈妈义开口了：“早(枣)下力(栗)气，来年丰收。婷婷，这粥有营养，吃吧!吃了腊八枣，背起书包往家跑。婷婷，快放假了吧?别呆了，快吃呀!”

“哦……”似乎这粥还有什么深意!我刚捧起碗，爸爸一阵狼吞虎咽，一碗粥已吃完了。他放下碗，大声喊道：“过了腊八，不怕啦!”看着奇怪的大人们，我也学着他们的样子，“大吃大喝”了起来。真是奇怪，一阵猛喝之后，原本冰凉的手变得暖和起来了。

边吃边听他们聊着，我才慢慢明白过来：原来今天是十二月初八，传说佛祖释迦牟尼成佛前进山修行，十二月初八这天因饥饿劳累栽倒路旁，被一牧羊女发现，用大米粥救活，后来大彻大悟，得道成佛。腊八这一天有吃腊八粥的习俗，掺在白米中的五谷杂粮总计不下20种，吃了以后可以增福增寿，故又称“福寿粥”。

原来，这看似普通的一碗粥有这么深刻的意义，于是我赶快请妈妈传授做“福寿粥”的方法。妈妈告诉我，先准备好要用的材料：必不可少的是粥米，豆、枣三样，其他可根据自家人口味配比，如核桃、粟子，玉米、葡萄干等。玉米要提前泡3—4小时，其他材料可混合洗净，再将所有的材料一起放入锅内，加足量水，烧开小火熬成粥即可。喜欢甜的就放些冰糖一起熬，用紫砂煲，三小时就能喝上粥了……

在我们这里，腊八粥熬好后，先要敬神祭祖，再赠送亲友，一定要在中午之前送出去，最后才是全家人食用。吃剩的腊八粥，保存着吃了几天还有剩下，却是好兆头，取其“年年有余”的意思。

腊八节喝腊八粥真有趣。这象征着多福多寿的腊八粥，大家可别忘了十二月初八喝一大碗啊!

Today is my long-awaited holiday - "National Day". In the morning, I put on my clothes and traveled with my father and mother.

We came to the city of Changzhi City in the city of Huang cliff, where the beautiful scenery, the lake is clear and transparent.

Into the door to see both sides cliff top together, looking up as a ray of days, there is "Kazuo Guan, Wan Fu Mo open" risk. And then went up to the mountain park, the park around the Qifeng different stone, really beautiful.

Continue to climb, we entered the weapons library site, weapons warehouse depth of 72 meters, 18 meters wide, 25 meters high, where was once made "Huang Yadong Battle" site.

Huang Yadong is a good place for adolescent patriotism education and tourism.

今天，是我盼望已久的节日——“国庆节”。早上，我穿上衣服，和爸爸、妈妈一起旅游。

我们来到了位于长治市黎城县的黄崖洞，这里的风景美丽极了，湖水清澈透明。

进入大门，看到两侧崖顶欲合，仰视如一线天，有“一夫当关，万夫莫开”之险。再往上走来到了高山公园，公园四周奇峰异石，真是美不胜收。

继续攀登，我们步入兵器库遗址，兵器库洞深72米，宽18米，高25米，这里曾经是著明的“黄崖洞保卫战”遗址。

黄崖洞真是一个进行青少年爱国主义教育及旅游的好地方。

SomeHolidays are so much fun that they catch on outside of their culture. The most obvious exampleisprobably Christmas, which is celebrated around the world by people who aren’t even Christian. Similarly, in recent years, the Dragon Boat Festival has moved beyond China to become an international holiday celebrated by people who may know little about the holiday’s origins.

有些节日实在是很有趣，所以在本土文化以外的地方也很受欢迎。最明显的例子可能就是圣诞节，世界各地的人都会庆祝圣诞节，即使是非基督徒。同样，最近几年端午节已经不局限于中国，成为国际性节日，而庆祝的人可能对节日的由来并不太了解。

The Dragon Boat Festival is one of three majorChineseholidays, along with the Spring and Moon Festivals. Of the three, it is possibly the oldest, dating back to the Warring States Period in 227 B.C. The festival commemorates Qu Yuan, a minister in the service of the Chu Emperor. Despairing over corruption at court, Qu threw himself into a river. Townspeople jumped into their boats and tried in vain to save him. Then, hoping to distract hungry fish from his body, the people scattered rice on the water.

端午节与春节和中秋节并列为中国三大节日。这三个节日中，它可能是最古老的一个，可以追溯到公元前227年的战国时代。这个节日是为了纪念楚国的大夫屈原，他因为对朝廷的贪污腐败感到绝望而投河自尽。镇上的人纷纷冲上船去救他，却没有成功。后来大家把米撒到水里，希望把饥饿的鱼群从他的躯体边引开。

Over the years, the story of Qu’s demise transformed into the traditions of racing dragon boats and eating zongzi – a kind of rice wrapped in bamboo leaves. The races have certainly captured the imagination of people from all over the world. Every spring there are nearly 60 dragon boat races held outside of China in cities from Vancouver to Sydney, from Gdańsk, Poland to Cape Town, South Africa. Canada alone has nearly 50 dragon boat teams and Germany has nearly 30.

多年以后，屈原逝世的故事逐渐演变成赛龙舟和吃粽子(一种包在竹叶中的米食)的传统。这些竞赛显然激起了世界各地人们的想像，每年春天有将近60场龙舟赛在中国境外的城市举办，从温哥华到悉尼，从波兰的格但斯克到南非的开普敦。单单字加拿大就有将近50支龙舟队伍，德国则有近30个。

So what is it about the Dragon Boat Festival that appeals to foreigners? “It’s an unusual

sport,” says one racer from Germany. “It’s not like everybody’s doing it. That’s one of the reasons that there’s such great team spirit in a dragon boat team – everybody feels like we’re doing something special.” And what about the zongzi? “Ehhh, they’re not bad, I guess,” he says. “Something of an acquired taste. I just haven’t really acquired it yet.”

那么，为什么端午节赛龙舟会吸引外国人呢?“这是一项不寻常的运动。”一位来自德国的参赛者说，“这并不是所有的人都在从事的运动。这正是龙舟队的团队精神如此高昂的原因之一，每个人都觉得自己在做一件很特别的事。”那么粽子呢?“喔，我觉得它不难吃。”他说，“那是一种需要后天培养的品味。我只是还没培养出来罢了。”

The Dragon Boat Festival ,also called the Duanwu Festival ,is celebrated on the fifth day of the fifth month according to the

Chinese calendar.People always eat rice dumplings and watch dragon boat races to celebrate it.

The festival is best known for its dragon-boat races,especially in the southern places where there are many rivers and lakes. Ití?s

very popular.

The rice dumpling is made of glutinous rice,meat and so on. You can eat different kinds of rice dumplings.They are very delicious.

And Dragon Boat Festival is for Qu Yuan. He is an honest minister who is said to have committed suicide by drowning himself in a

river.

Overall, the Dragon Boat Festival is very interesting!

The Dragon Boat Festival is a lunar (阴历)holiday, occurring (存正)on the fifth

day of the fifth lunar month (农历史五月第五天). Dragon Boat Festival is my favourite

festival.During the holiday of Dragon Boat Festival,I got together with my

family to have a big meal.We ofen ate the zongzi.It tasted very nice.And we saw

the Dragon Boat Races.I felt excited because the race was bustling with noise

and excitement.At Dragon Boat Festival,we also drank realgar wine.Some people

thought drank realgar wine can protect themselves from illness.Dragon Boat

Festival was interesting and I like it very much.

The Chinese Dragon Boat Festival is a significant (有意义的)holiday celebrated

(庆祝)in China, and the one with the longest history (历史最悠久). The Dragon Boat

Festival is celebrated by boat races (龙舟赛) in the shape of dragons. Competing

teams (竞争团队) row their boats forward to a drumbeat (击古)racing to reach the

finish end first.

The boat races during the Dragon Boat Festival are traditional customs

(传统习俗)to attempts to (试图)rescue (搭救) the patriotic poet (爱国诗人)Chu Yuan. Chu Yuan

drowned (溺死) on the fifth day of the fifth lunar month in 277 B.C. Chinese

citizens now throw bamboo leaves (竹叶) filled with cooked rice into the

water.

Spring Festival is my favorite among all the Chinese traditional festival.

The first reason why I love it the most is because I can get lucky money on that

festival. It is the Chinese custom that the old will give children lucky money

on Spring Festival to wish a good luck for the young generation. Moreover,

people everywhere on those days are full of happiness. Quarrel, fight and abuse

are almost disappeared at that time. Meanwhile, my mother will make a big meal

for us to celebrate. Everyone will forget the unhappy thing they meet, instead

remembering to appreciate life to wish a better future. That is my favorite

festival.
