People immersed in laughter, that night, chill in approaching, people are not willing to leave, still there and celebrate, looking forward to the New Year arrives.

新年到了，大家兴高采烈地做迎新年的准备。这时间，家家户户挂满了火红的灯笼，我家也不例外。在新年里大家说说笑笑，有的去买衣服，有的去别人家闯门，还有的在家里吃饭。

当夜幕降临的时候，街道旁的路灯都不约而同的亮了起来，就在这时候，我飞快的跑下楼去，手里拿着各种各样的烟花炮竹，于是，我连忙点起火来，只见背火熊熊燃烧的烟花，像火箭一样向天空飞去，天上的烟花，突然间被炸开了，天上留下了五颜六色的道痕，突然，我的眼睛里充满了光明。

然后我就融入了欢乐的人群当中，我忽然看到，人们在高兴地做游戏，脸上露出了开心的笑容。连我也不由自主地走了进去。我们互相讲笑话，玩游戏，放鞭炮，猜字谜等。接着，我碰到了同学，我说：“新年好!”她也说：新年好!然后我们就互相拜访。过后，我就听到了震耳欲聋的鞭炮声，那声音热烈而持久。在声音里我看到人们大声欢呼，喊叫，我着急地离开了。

闻见家里的饭香味，我就顺着香气跑回了家里，吃上香喷喷的饺子，保证你去了会大饱口福。吃完饭，我穿上了新衣服去逛街，街上的人那是人山人海啊!我差一点就摔倒了!不光这个，街上的东西还应有尽有，物美价廉。人们沉浸在欢声笑语之中，夜深了，寒意在逼近，人们都不愿意离去，还在那里尽情地欢庆，期盼新的一年到来。

长城，又称万里长城，是中国古代的军事防御工事，是一道高大、坚固而且连绵不断的长垣，用以限隔敌骑的行动。长城不是一道单纯孤立的城墙，而是以城墙为主体，同大量的城、障、亭、标相结合的防御体系。春秋战国时期列国争霸，互相防守，长城修筑进入第一个高潮，但此时修筑的长度都比较短。秦灭六国统一天下后，秦始皇连接和修缮战国长城，始有万里长城之称。明朝是最后一个大修长城的朝代，今天人们所看到的长城多是此时修筑。明长城总长度为8851.8千米，秦汉及早期长城超过1万千米，总长超过2.1万千米。

说到长城，我想起一个故事：当初，修建嘉峪关长城时，需要成千上万块长2米、宽0.5米、厚0.3米的石条，工匠们在黑山将石条凿好后，人却抬不起，车拉不动，且山高路远，无法运输。大伙儿边凿石条边发愁，眼看隆冬季节就要到了，石条还没有从山里运出一块，若要耽误工期，没有工钱是小，这脑袋可就难保了。大家正在长吁短叹，这时，忽然山顶一声闷雷，从白云中飘下一幅锦绸，众工匠赶紧接住，只见上面若隐若现有几行字，大家看后恍然大悟，按其行事。等到冬季到来后，众人从山上往关城修一条路，在路面上泼水，让其结成一条冰道，然后把石条放在冰道上滑行运输，结果非常顺利地把石条运到了嘉峪关城下，不但没有延误工期，反而节省了不少时间。众工匠为了感谢上苍的护佑，在关城附近修建庙宇，供奉神位，并成为工匠出师后必须参拜的地方。

长城，你是中华民族精神的象征。我为你骄傲、自豪!

The difference between chinese and western culture

With the rapidly challging word, people throughout the world have found it increasingly necessary to minimize the rate of misunderstanding due to miscommunication in their contacts with another. In the oast most human beings were born, lived, and died within a limited geoographical area, never encountering people of other cultural backgrounds. It might be said that technological advances have been most effective in creating the borderless word, the global community. As our world shrinks and its inhabitants become interdependent, people from remot cultures increasingly come into contact on a daily basis. It is no longer hard to find situations in which membes of ince isolared groups of people. Now these people may live thousands of miles away or right next door to each other. So all the people are faced with the challenge of understand this world. So when the east meet west, there are many problems. Some problems are listed as follows.

First of all, the way of eating. All huaman beings have certain basic needs. Our fundamental needs for things that keep us alive. This is the physioligical need. All individuals must eat in order to survive. But what people eat, when they eat, and the manners in which they eat are all patterned by culture. No society views everything in its environment that is edible and might provide nurishment as food. Americans eat oysters but not snail. The French eat snails but not locusts. The Jews eat fish but not pork. The Hindus eat pork but not beef. The Russiand eat beef but not snake. We all have ideas about what kinds of food are good to eat. We also have ideas about what kinds of food are bad to eat. As a result, people from one culture often think the food that people from another culture eat are disgusting or nauseating. Dislike is not the only reason why some culture will not eat a certain food. In some clture, certain foods are taboo. Sometimes the food taboos may be so strong thrat just the thought of eating forbidden foods can cause an indivdual to feel ill. We can also find culture difference in way of bring up children treating the early, greeting each other, saying and spending money before other people do in everyday, but in some English-speaking countries, people do not agree with us. We chinese may enjoy something that is not usually consider as edible by the English-speaking people. Generally we perfer to have thing hot and much emphasis on the taste. We eat from one plate when we are eating with others, and we like to seat one by one, and in the shape of a round. On the opposite, some English-speaking contries, most of the people like to seat in two rows, two people face to face. They have their own plate. On the aspect of table manners, there are many differences between chinese and English-speaking people. For example, in some Englishi-speaking countries, Bread plates are to the left of the main plate, beverage glasses are to the right. Salad fork, knife and soup spoon are further from the

main plate than the main course knife, fork and spoon. When eating bread rolls, break off a piece before buttering. Use the knife only to butter the bread, not to cut it. They should not start eating before your host does or instructs to do so. At larger meals, it is considered okay to start eating once others have been served. When finished, place the knife and fork together at five o’clock with the fork on the left. It is considered rude to answer the telephone at the table. If need to take an urgent call, excuse self and go outside. Try to eat all the food you are served. But in China, the table manners are different. Chinese traditionally eat rice from a small bowl held in the left hand. The rice bowl is raised to the mouth and the rice pushed into the mouth using the chopsticks. Some Chinese find it offensive to scoop rice from the bowl using a spoon. If rice is served on a plate, as is more common in the West, it is acceptable and more practical to eat it with a fork or spoon. The thumb must always be above the edge of the bowl. The host should always make sure the guests drinks are sufficiently full. One should not pour for ones self, but should offer to pour for a neighbor. When your drink is being poured, you should say "thank you" and tap fingers on the table to show appreciation. When people wish to clink drinks together in the form of a cheer, it is important to observe that younger members should clink the edge of their drink below the edge of an elder to show respect.

Secondly, the way of communication. Form birth to death, communication plays an integral part in our life. There are some language problems, including the different styles of using language such as direct, indirect; expansive, succinct; argumentative, conciliatory; instrumental, harmonnizing; and so on. These different styles can lead to wrong interpretations of intent and evaluation of insincerity, aggreeiveness, deviousness, or arrogance, among other. The misinterpretation nonverbal signs and symbols such as gestures, postures, and other body movements. It is a definite communication barrier. But it is possible to learn the meanings of these observable message,usually in informal rather ways. It is more difficult to understand the less obvious unspoken codes of the other cultures. Language, as the carrier of culture, is created during the process of human beings’ productive labor and serves as the tool of communication to convey the message between people. However, it has been endowed with magic and power in particular language acts. As the old saying goes, troubles come out of the tongue. Superstitious people think that the language itself can bring about fortune or misfortune so that taboos to restrict the use of language are created. Anyone who violates them will get punishment, whereas those who faithfully obey the restrictions of language taboo will get protection. Furthermore, linguistic taboos change with the development of society .The paper firstly analyzes the evolution of linguistic taboo. It is indicated in the paper that linguistic taboo exists in almost every aspect of people’s life and is a universal social phenomenon in China and Britain. Both Chinese and

English cultures are in agreement about linguistic taboos such as pronunciation taboo, and vocabulary taboo. However, influenced by different cultural backgrounds, ideologies and the concepts of value, Chinese and English linguistic taboos also have differences, as is discussed in the paper from the aspects of taboo subjects, taboo numbers and names. At last, this paper puts forward two effective ways of avoiding taboo, that is, using euphemism and having a good knowledge of the taboo culture. And this discussion would help English learners improve their ability of cross-cultural communication and achieve better communicational effects. For example, During the feudal times, people were not equal to the rulers and were suppressed by their superiors. The distinction between the upper and the lower classes was also reflected in the evaluation of the language used by them respectively. The words of upper class used were considered good and elegant while those used by the lower class were regarded as vulgar and indecent and should be avoided in the speech of ladies and gentlemen. In modern society, as a result of the development of science and technology, many natural phenomena are no longer mysterious. Human beings not only constantly improve their abilities to exploit the world where they are living through their great wisdom and knowledge, but also make efforts to explore the extraterrestrial world. Science has much more say in today’s society. Thereby, the superstitious elements in linguistic taboos decrease while those reflecting spiritual civilization increase.

In short, by comparison, we can find that both Chinese and English communication reflect people’s psychology for good will, for safety and fortune and pleasantness. The Chinese and English people restrict their words and deeds through taboos, trying to keep a harmonious relationship between human and nature, or between people and society. They are a reflection of people’s pursuit of freedom and equality.

The most important, the different way of family structure, family values and family education. Family structure is the big difference between east and west, traditional chinese, amony many other Asians, repect their elders and feel a deep sense of duty toward them. Children repay their parents` sacrifices by being successful and supporting them in old age. This is accepted as a natural part of life in China. In contrast, taking care of aged parents is often viewed as a tremendous burden in the English-speaking countries, where aging and family support are not honored highly. In some English-speaking countries are still extrmely family-oriented. They are dedicated to helping their children and will sacrifice greatly for their children to get an edcuation. In turn, the children are devoted to their parents, who often live nearby. Grown children who go away and leave the country for the economic reasons typically send large parts of their salary home to their parents and the rest of the family. Or in some Asia, any decisions or actions are done from family consideration, not individual desires. Peope`s behavior is judged on whether it

brings shame or pride to the family. The children are trained to rely on their families, to honor elderly people, and to fear foreigners. And many of them think that their actions in this life will influence their status in the next life.

The way of family edcation is also the different. We all know the family education is the elementary education for children. Many serious problems have appeared in our education system in recent years. Almost everyone has realized the importance of solving these problems and many people have presented a lot of valuable suggestions. There are many types of family education in the world and each of them shows distinctive features and is closely responsive to its culture. And American family education is the most famous one among them. There are great differences in the concepts of education, methods of education and results of education between East family education and West family education. In some English-speaking countries, parents’ aims are to train their children to have the ability of adapting to environmental variety and the ability of living independently. Based on this concept, most American parents emphasize more to train their children’s ability of independence once they are born. They generally believe that children’s growth must rely on their own experiences, because they think that children should form a self-supporting will and the capacity to live independently since their childhood. And the capacity comes from the training in the early age. The so-called training contains many aspects, such as work, temper will, patience, the spirit of hard work, etc. However, the most fundamental training is the ability of adapting to hard conditions. Through the process of work, children will form the labor sense, learn some work skills and form a habit of labor. Besides, children can learn how to overcome difficulties, temper their willpower, develop their talents and skills, rich their knowledge, and form a habit of hard work and thrifty by working in hard conditions. It is just in the unconsciously process that children will obtain the independent survivability and take the responsibilities for the society. Compared with some English-speaking countries, Chinese parents have a very different concept of children’s education. Some parents in China only care about whether the children have a promising future, a good job, a good life or not. Based on these expectations, the majority of parents feel that their responsibility for their children is to create as good conditions as possible they can so that the children will not worry about anything in the future. Chinese parents would like to provide everything what they can for their children in the process of children’s growth. In short, they would like to sacrifice anything if their children can live better with their help. Therefore, in the process of children’s growth, the most important thing the parents concerning is to developing their children’s intellect, except for caring children’s daily life. In order to make their children have a good performance in study, become outstanding, or even become a famous person in the future, they would not let children do anything except studying. As for the children’s independence, civic awareness and their ability adapting to the

society in the future, they consider little or not at all. From these aspects we can find the obvious differences of family education between America and China.

When we faced with those difference between West and East, we should give some advice to solve these problems. According to the three big difference that pointed, we should find some way to deal with these problems.

We can study other languages and learn to expect in nonvwebal forms and other cultural aspects. We can train ourselves to meet intercultural encounters with more attention to situation details. We can use an investigative approach rather than stereotypes and preconceptions. We can gradually expose ourselves to differences so that they become less threatening. We can even learn to lower our tension level when needed to advoid triggering defensive reactions. The overall goal should be to achieve intercultural communication competence.

So the ideal solution to reduce the problems are to share knowledge with others in communication. This is why it is easiest to communicate with other members of the same group. This is why people so often gather together socially with others who are very much like them. Since intercultural communication is communication with members of different cultual groups, and therefore, because we do not share knowledge, assumptions, values, and forms of discourse with them, we must expect there to be problems of interpretation. We must look for these problems, anticipate where they will arise out of our differences, and then plan our aommunications to be as effective as possible.

However, we have to remember that, most of the time, the different ways that are the customs of dfferent cultures are neither right nor wrong. It is simply that different people do the same tings in different manners, even though we can not understand ,we should show the respect. I believe this is the best way to make our life become more comfortable and make the world more harmonious.

2007年，在人人都熟知的QQ上出现过评论长城，拯救中国文化、评选世界七大奇迹的消息。这个消息一传开，立即轰动了全国。

评选世界七大奇迹时，中国的兵马俑等全被淘汰，唯一剩下的只有长城。而中国评选的却不到总人口的百分之零点五，这是何等的悲哀。于是乎，全国上下开始纷纷评选长城。

当然，对于以上现象也是贬褒不一的。有人说：中国长城具有悠久历史，理应评选为世界七大奇迹。有人说：每人知道评选当然中国要吃亏。但也有人说：奇迹是评选出来的，说它是它就是，说它不是它也就不是了。

其实以上现象只能说明中国的文化面临着严峻的挑战。长城被评上的可能是很大的，但是你们是否在想，中国长城就一路顺风地被保护起来了吗？那你们就大错特错了。据了解，被保护起来的长城不到其长度的四分之一，而在其两端的部分也在以很快的速度陷入沙漠。也就是说，很可能在几百年后，甚至几十年后长城就会仅剩其长度的四分之一。到了那个时候，长城还会被评为世界七大奇迹吗？到了那个时候我们或许就要称其为千里长城或是百里长城了。

长城的形势迫在眉睫，试想，真的到了那个时候，中国还拿什么去参加评选世界七大奇迹？有人说：长城没有了可以再建，以现在的技术建长城那是一件很容易的事了。但是这需要耗费多少资金？这些资金足以去保护长城，或者说这些资金将是保护长城消耗资金的几十倍、几百倍甚至是几千倍或是几万倍。况且即使是建好了一个新的长城，其历史意义何在，其文化意义又何在？如果仅仅要的是其外在的那些建筑，那么以现在科技的发展水平，哪一个国家建不出一个长城？那又有什么奇迹可言呢？

有人说：长城没了没什么，最多是少了一个风景区，中国还有秦始皇陵嘛。中国没有长城是少了一个风景区，而长城的消失又会带来多少人的失业？况且至今为止，中国还没有技术去开发秦始皇陵。虽然开发以后会或者说必然会轰动世界。然而，秦始皇陵会不会也像长城一样消失呢？中国自称是上下五千年，又留下了什么呢？但是我无能为力，我只能在这儿孤独地呐喊：谁来拯救中国文化？谁来拯救这些历史的足迹？谁来拯救中国？

[谁来拯救中国文化800字作文

剪纸是我最感兴趣的活动，也是一种民间艺术。

一次我在看书的时候，看到一些关于剪纸的图案，栩栩如生，发现一个更完美的剪纸——“连年又鱼”。这个图案是一个孩子怀里抱着一条大鲤鱼，脸上充满幸福的微笑。

每当看到这个剪纸时，脑海中就会浮现出这样一个神话：在一个寒冷的冬天，一个神仙下凡体察民情，来到一个村庄里，他每到一家都会问：“我可以进去吃点东西吗?”但那些人都很自私，不愿把自己的东西分给别人。直到最后一家，一位老人接受了他，并把家里唯一的一只鹅招待客人。这可是他们家唯一可吃的东西了，神仙很感动，在他们家门前写了“连年有鱼”这几个大字，写完后便飞走了。这时，他们的小儿子回来了，怀里抱着一条大鱼，说是在路上捡到的。这幅简简单单的剪纸就可以表达出做人只有大方，乐于助人才会得到别人的回报。

我对剪纸很感兴趣，因为它里面不但包含着小故事，还包含着意思，使人懂得道理。

中国，一个以五千年文明为积淀，以百余年磨难为基点，以五十余年发展为基石，多少荣辱悲欢，多少兴衰成败，成就了中国这只浴火重生的凤凰!

说起中国的传统文化，那可真是数不计数。如:中国陶瓷、文房四宝、四大发明、皮影、乐器等等。今天，我就着重说一说元杂剧和文房四宝。元杂剧第一人是关汉卿，这位中国第一位戏剧作家一生写了60多种杂剧，是元杂剧的奠基人。他的部分剧作700年来一直上演不衰。关汉卿的剧作有描写社会矛盾、歌颂人们斗争的《窦娥冤》、《蝴蝶梦》、《鲁斋郎》等。

文房四宝就是人们说的笔墨、纸、砚。笔因王羲之的缘故，李渡毛笔名声大振。墨：具有“落纸如漆、万载存真”的美誉。纸：明代《天工开物》中记载了铅山造纸状况，对连四纸作了说明，并给予很高评价。砚：星子的金星砚和婺源的龙尾砚都具有1000多年历史。

是啊，中国的传统文化可真是历史悠久呀!

中华民族作为世界上最古老的民族之一，它有着光辉灿烂的历史文化，世界上的任何一个国度都不会否认中华文明的渊远流长，更不会否认千百年来中国文化对整个世界的影响。然而，在历经几千年的沧桑洗礼，中国文化却在被国人忽视的潮流中失去了它原本的面目，一点一滴地流失。

历史告诉我们，任何一种文化的诞生，都是在一定的阶级思想基础上形成的。就犹如小孩子搭积木一样，首先要有一个稳固的框架，这样搭起来的积木才是牢固的。同样，一个国民文化的诞生也需要一个坚定的思想框架，只有这样，它才不会随着岁月的流失而坍塌。

然而，一种文化的流失却不像一栋建筑物倒塌那样的简单和显眼。或者说，就在人们渐渐地淡忘某一事物时，一种文化却在逐渐地消沉，而我们却丝毫没有察觉。诚然，儒家思想是两千多年来中国的宝贵遗物，它在我国历史上有着不可替代的积极深远的影响，甚至可以说，它在一定的程度上铸就了两千来中华民族的思维模式和性格特征。可是，就在国外开始掀起儒家思想高潮，把它视为一种道德准则时，中国人却在一点点地将它抛弃，这不能不算是一件令人羞耻的事。也许这也是两千多年前孔子不愿看到的可悲的一幕。

孔子的整个思想是以伦理道德为中心，其核心是一个“仁”字。“仁者，爱人”，“己欲立而立人，己欲达而达人”，“己所不欲，勿施于人”。做任何事都要推己及人的人道主义。可这样崇高的道德境界又怎么会在这样复杂的社会里某其生存呢？

记得看过这样一个故事：一个在国外发展事业的中国青年，从国外赶回来参加父亲的丧礼，因为他来得太迟，家产被兄弟分光了，而唯一留给他的是他们唯一的母亲。青年人想着便不由抽泣起来。他在国外事业有成，他当然不是为财产而哭泣，而是为兄弟的无情而伤心。我不得不为这个事实而感到震惊：一个活生生的母亲不要，却因为没有生命的金钱，而失去了世界上最珍贵的财产。殊不知母亲的爱，正是无可取代的无价之宝啊！中华民族几千年来的“孝”，如今也只能给后人留下悲哀了。一种不能被人理解的痛惜，一个国家的文化的遗失。

前几天，我路过市郊时，看到了令我揪心的一幕：一帮穿着制服的城管，把一水果摊砸得稀巴烂，一位年近古稀的老妪正蹲在地上，默默地流泪。几个买水果的年轻人，拿起已经秤好的水果也溜了。砸完水果摊，几个城管便扬长而去，只剩下老妪在痛苦地哭泣……

在这里，我想问问：“中国的‘仁’又在哪里呢？难道作为伟大中华民族的传统美德就这样无声息地消沉了吗？中国几千年的精髓留给子孙后代的只是一些空壳吗？”那位老妪也许只是想赚点钱给她的孙子上学，也许只是为了能让她孙女吃上一顿象样的饭……。可这个无情的社会，却是连这样一个机会都没有施舍给她。

说到这里，我又想到了中国人的另一个悲哀。那就是国民素质的普遍偏低这个现象。

在中国，红绿灯下的许多警察，我想是绝对必要的。要是没有警察，我想这条路就如同没有红绿灯一样，必定会拥挤得一塌糊涂。单方面的谦让也许并不能换取他人的谦让，道德的约束本身就是很脆弱的。然而在美国或是其他一些发达国家，人们对交通规则的遵守竟然可以做到这种地步：在明明没有车辆的半夜，一个人在人行横道的路口也会等待变灯。在我们国家，这定然是积极罕见的事情。

最近，我在《读者》上看到这样一则秩闻：澳大利亚的一个中国参观团的车上，有位中国官员吃了一个香蕉，随手就将香蕉皮扔出了车窗外——反正车上也没外人，连翻译也都是同胞。但是，他忽略了一个问题，那就是，开车的司机却是地道的澳大利亚人！“吱——”一个紧急刹车，司机一声不响地跳下了车，快速回跑，拣回了那块香蕉皮，然后又一声不响地上车、开动。一车中国人面面相觑。翻译耸耸肩说：“别在意，他拣这玩意儿跟你扔这玩意儿一样自然”。这确是令人发笑的事实。可当我们仔细想想，也许便会想哭。虽然是一件极小的事，可这表现出来的两国人的素质差异，却能引发人们的深思：这就是所谓的中国文明吗？当外国人向我们发起这样的疑问时，我们往往无言以对，哑口无言。或许只是我们无话可说。

在西方，中国人在一些餐馆吃饭，往往会受到侍者的轻蔑，就算你是一位高雅而很讲礼仪的绅士。因为他们嘲笑的不是坐在他们面前的你，而是你身后代表的整个中华民族。中国人喜欢随地吐痰，喜欢在公众场合大声叫嚷，这已成为国际上一种象征性的标志。我深感惭愧，作为中华民族的子孙，我深沉重，这沉重不仅代表了对整个国民的呼吁，也是对逐渐在流失的中国文化的深深惋惜。

国家固然要发展，因为这个世界一直在前进。可我们要时刻地清醒：我们面对的发展，不仅是一个国家经济的发展、军事的发展，更要注重一个国家文明的进步。文化，作为一个国家的灵魂，它代表的是一个国家的尊严，失去它就等于失去一切的思想支柱，其他任何的发展形式都是苍白无力的。在现代高度文明的社会里，我们不愿看到自己的祖国在激烈竞争的潮流中失去自己的尊严，更不愿看到几千年的中国文化遗产在这和世界上消沉。

如今的今天，中国正以飞速地发展来复兴自己。在城市方面的建设，我们似乎比任何一个国家都要现代化、都要迅速，这不能不让人惊叹。然而，就在我们为自己的成就而深感自豪的时候，我们却忽视了很多，也失去了很多。在欧洲，任何一座优美的城市都有它值得赞赏的地方。最让人们羡慕的，就是都它们都有着历史赋予的灿烂文化。在法国巴黎、英国伦敦、意大利的罗马、奥地利的维也纳等等，人们看到的不仅是现代高度发达的文明，还有着历史璀璨的文化建筑，人们在为现代文明感叹的同时，也在为过去的文化遗产而赞叹。似乎几千前的历史沧桑，在你的脑瓜里一幕幕地上演，让人切身地感受到了历史的韵味。而在我们国家，很多的城市，除了成群的高楼外，你也许再也找不到有着历史文化的建筑，这实在让人感到无奈和悲哀。

世界仍要前进，中国还要发展。我们也在发展的潮流中慢慢苏醒，因为我们都不愿看到若干年后，我们伟大中华民族文明的消失。在国民素质逐渐提高的今天，我们更不能抛弃我们的过去，而是应该把它发扬光大，让祖国的璀璨文化永放光芒。

[中国文化流失作文

中国传统节日有很多；春节。元宵节。中秋节。端午节。重阳节。清明节。七夕节。……。

我感兴趣的传统节日中最喜爱的是春节，正因它是中国民间最隆重的传统节日。在夏历正月初一，又叫阴历年，又称为“过年”和“新年”。每年过年，街上挂满了红红的灯笼，彩旗飘飘。商场是人山人海，家家户户贴对联，可热闹了。每个小朋友都能够拿利是，小朋友还能够穿上漂亮的新衣服，大人个个喜气洋洋。爸爸给我买了许多礼花和鞭炮，到了晚上，我就拿出礼花下楼和小朋友一齐放，我们玩得十分高兴，到了晚会开始，我才恋恋不舍地回家，与家人一齐开开心心的吃水果看晚会，精彩的表演把我们逗得哈哈大笑，心想：要是天天都过年该多好啊！

我还喜爱过“重阳节”，农历9月9日，有一首重阳节的古诗是李白创作的。独在异乡为异客，每逢佳节倍思亲。遥知兄弟登高处，遍插茱萸少一人。这首诗写得十分好。又是中国的一个古老的传统佳节——重阳节。重阳节，又有称为“老人节”，重阳这一天，人们赏菊花，佩带茱萸，携酒登山，畅游欢愉。这一天，我和爸爸妈妈准备了一份礼物去看望爷爷奶奶，我心中十分开心，正因我明白尊老爱幼是我们中华的传统美德。

“元宵节”也让我难忘。每年农历的正月十五日，春节刚过，迎来的就是中国的传统节日元宵节，这一天我们也放了许多烟花，还吃了汤圆。一家团团圆圆，那时的我心中充满无比的幸福和欢乐。中国的传统节日真是丰富多彩，它是中国的节日。

这些传统节日同样给我们带来了欢乐和幸福，因此我们要记住这些完美的节日，并永远继承下去。

中国传统文化—剪纸

剪纸是我国传统文化之一，最早出现在汉朝。在我国北方很流行剪纸，每到过年过节，家家户户都要剪一些美丽的图案贴在窗户上和门上，以表示喜庆。

上周星期三，爸爸教我们剪纸。先拿出一张彩色纸，把它压得平平的。接着在纸上画蝴蝶的一半，然后就剪画的蝴蝶，剪的时候一定要细心，千万不要剪错了，不然就要重新来。最后把剪的蝴蝶打开，就是一张蝴蝶图案了。不过，这样还不漂亮，我们把蝴蝶图案涂上各种各样的颜色，一只在花丛飞舞的蝴蝶出现在我们眼前了。

以后，过年过节我一定要把我剪的纸贴在自己门上和窗户上。

长城，是中华民族的象征，是华夏儿女的骄傲。它像一条巨龙盘踞在中国北方辽阔的土地上，长城全长约12600里，它是中国古代劳动人民智慧和血汗的结晶。

据记载，早在春秋战国时就有了长城，那时燕赵国诸侯为了防御敌国入侵，修筑了烽火台，并用厚重的城墙连接起来，便形成了中国历史上最早的长城。秦朝统一中国后连成了万里长城。可经历2000年的战乱和炮火，那时的长城已化为碎石。如今所说的万里长城是明代修筑的。

长城大都建在山岭最高处，沿着山脊把蜿蜓无尽的山势勾画出清晰的轮廓。在万里长城上分布着百座雄关、隘口，成千上万座敌台、烽火台，使高低起伏的地形显得更雄奇险峻，充满巨大的魅力。据说秦始皇使用了近百万劳力修筑长城，占当时全国总人口的1/20，当时没有任何机械，全部劳动靠人力，十分艰难。

关于长城还有一个感人的爱情故事：范喜良和孟姜女新婚不到三天，范喜良就被官兵捉去修长城，后来孟姜女千里迢迢来到长城，谁知有人告诉她，范喜良已经死了。她在长城脚下痛哭，不知哭了多久，只听“轰隆”一声，长城倒了几千米，露出了范喜良的尸首。

今天的长城早已失去军事价值，而是以其特有的魅力，吸引着广大中外游客。俗话说：“不到长城非好汉”让我们一起登上长城领略它的磅礴气势吧。

中华传统文化博大精深，有剪纸、窗花等等，还有传统节日春节、端午节、重阳节等等，我最喜欢过春节。

春节时，我们一家团聚在一起吃年夜饭，吃完饭后，奶奶说：“我们去放烟花吧。”于是我就去放了烟花。‘砰’一粒‘金砂’飞向天空，我斌住了呼吸，美丽的烟花在空中绽放，快看!那朵淡紫色的烟花。这是一朵小巧的烟花，它只有别的烟花的四分只一大，但它却有一种独特的吸引力。它的形状、体积的大小和淡紫色美妙的融合起来就形成了一朵美丽的蝴蝶兰花，优雅脱俗，不愧是四大优雅之花。天空中又绽放出另一朵烟花，瞧，它在空中绽放的时候的颜色是金黄金黄的，如同那刚刚做好的黄金一样耀眼，如同那下午的太阳一样散发光辉。但当这朵烟花已经在空中绽放够了自己的笑脸，变成如同流星般的流苏的时候，却变成了淡淡的粉红色，粉的像那还留着露水的香水百合一样红，像那傍晚的晚霞一样红，在头上却是一颗耀眼的“星星”。站在这个烟花下，就像天好像要塌下来似的，也像一顶大帽子从天而降，要戴在你的头上;站在着个烟花旁，你会看到一颗颗流星从天而降，不知道的人还以为是真的流星呢!美丽的烟花把天空照亮了，哇，多美啊，我感叹道。那晚的喜庆，那晚的高兴，使我特别难忘，多期待下一次过年啊。啊!烟花真好看，我喜欢春节，我更喜欢看烟花!

昨天我和奶奶去了农业展览馆参观，我们看了《非物质文化遗产》这个展览后我非常有感。

首先，因为人太多我先先去了5号展厅，里面有很多非物质文化遗产，比如说南京的云锦，南方的陶瓷，好有好多好多说不出名字的东西。我印像最深的就是陶瓷工艺了，他介绍了怎么作，我看了一下，首先用泥做出基本形状然后放进火炉烤30分钟左右左，最后取出来一个精美的陶瓷就完成了。

之后我们去了1号展厅，里面有很多珍贵的文化遗产，我们先去了剪纸部分参观，我们看到了一个老奶奶做去了很做漂亮的剪纸，真是太棒了。之后我们来到了文房四宝展区，据说文房四宝有墨水，墨台，毛笔，和宣纸。缺一不可，然我感受到了文学界里的博大精深。下面我们来到了面塑展区，我们看到了好几个人在那里用一块块面做出各种造型，让我爱不释手真行要一个啊。最后我们来到了锦绣展区，里面有个老奶奶在一针一线的绣着锦绣，后来我看了看绣的珠子才发现珠子的口经才不到1厘米真是太吓人了。

看了这次展览我我知道了非物质文化遗产的博大精深，让我知道了我们的非物质文化遗产。

My Chinese dream

As we all know, America has American dream. I believe all Chinese have Chinese dreams.

I have a dream that our country will be stronger and stronger. I have a dream that each Chinese will live a happy life and have the opportunity to achieve their dreams by working hard. I have a dream that the air will be fresher and the sky is bluer so that people can live comfortably and healthily.

To realize the Chinese dream, each Chinese needs to work hard. For students, we should love our country and keep it in mind. Besides, we must study hard in order to make our country stronger. More importantly, we should be a good person.

何为家训？

家训，对于今人来说，是个比较专业的说法。但在古时，却是常用词，因为“人必有家，家必有训”。中国的家训智慧，自古及今，源远流长。

所谓家训，王勃在著名的《滕王阁序》中说过一句名言：“他日趋庭，叨陪鲤对。”说的正是早期的家训。

《论语·季氏》篇记载：“（孔子）尝独立，鲤趋而过庭。曰：‘学诗乎？’对曰：‘未也。’‘不学诗无以言。’鲤退而学诗。他日又独立，鲤趋而过庭，曰：‘学礼乎？’对曰：‘未也。’‘不学礼无以立。’鲤退而学礼。”

虽然这是伟大的教育家孔子对孔鲤的教育，但也是一个普通的父亲对儿子的教育，所以这段记载也被视为中国古代家庭教育中的典范之一，而孔子所说的“不学诗无以言”和“不学礼无以立”则成了古代早期家训的典型内容。

家训其实也很简单，不过就是家庭或家族中的长辈教育子弟或晚辈的教育内容。这些内容十分宽泛，包括家庭生活、言行举止、个体修身、交友处世，乃至出仕从政、建功立业等各个方面。这些内容中的精华被行之于文、传乎后世，便形成了中国古代独特的家训文化。

“昔在黄帝，生而神灵，弱而能言，幼而徇齐……”

早上起来，就听到CD机里传来阵阵浑厚的朗读声，老爸在放《黄帝内经》给我听呢。

每天，老爸都会让我读一会儿《黄帝内经》，到了周末就让我背诵，每背完一小段，就奖励我玩十来分钟的电脑游戏。老爸还让我背诵《易经》，他常说“易医同源”，要趁现在记性好，多背点好东西，长大后会有用的。一年过去了，我先后背了《素问》的 “上古天真论篇”，《易经》的 “乾、坤、泰、否”等十几卦。

说起我对中医的喜欢，起因是十分偶然的。有一天，我在老爸的书架上翻出了一本《七大名医传奇》，就顺手翻了几页，不想一下子就被深深地吸引住了——书里记录着许多名医的故事。由于是用“网络语言”写的，所以非常搞笑好看，我是在笑声夹杂着泪水中读完这本书的。其中，最让我感到中医伟大的是名医王孟英，为了救治病人，他失去了自己的亲骨肉；最让我感到中医神奇的是名医徐灵胎，他用两丸陈墨做成的黑神丸救活了一个“死了（昏迷）三天”的病人……

就这样，我开始喜欢上了中医。平时，我常常看《中华医药》这个电视节目，还看了许多有关中医的书，有《品读名医》《欣赏中医》《中草药便典》《疗效植物手册》《不生病的智慧》等。这下可把老爸给乐坏了——他马上从北京买回了许多CD片，一有空就放给我听，还说是什么“熏陶”呢。

平时，我经常跑到小溪边探查，找到了“商陆”“车前子”“鱼腥草”等药用植物，从中又学到了不少中药材的知识。

我奶奶的手冬天常常开裂，我就尝试着用中医的一个方子，把蜂蜜和熟猪油调和起来，敷到奶奶手上开裂的地方。结果，开裂处很快愈合了，乐得奶奶直夸我医术高。

今年暑假，我还去了一趟杭州，参观了“胡庆余堂”和浙江中医药大学，对中医中药又有了更浓厚的兴趣和更深入的认识。

“千里之行，始于足下。”我一定要努力学习，立志长大后，也成为一名能为百姓救死扶伤的“大国医”。

Table Manners

The main difference between Chinese and western eating habits is that unlike the West, where everyone has their own plate of food, in China the dishes are placed on the table and everybody shares. If you are being treated by a Chinese host, be prepared for a ton of food. Chinese are very proud of their culture of cuisine and will do their best to show their hospitality.

And sometimes the Chinese host use their chopsticks to put food in your bowl or plate. This is a sign of politeness. The appropriate thing to do would be to eat the whatever-it-is and say how yummy it is. If you feel uncomfortable with this, you can just say a polite thank you and leave the food there.

Eating No-nos

Dont stick your chopsticks upright in the rice bowl.Instead,lay them on your dish. The reason for this is that when somebody dies,the shrine to them contains a bowl of sand or rice with two sticks of incense stuck upright in it. So if you stick your chopsticks in the rice bowl, it looks like this shrine and is equivalent to wishing death upon a person at the table!

Make sure the spout of the teapot is not facing anyone. It is impolite to set the teapot down where the spout is facing towards somebody. The spout should always be directed to where nobody is sitting, usually just outward from the table.

Dont tap on your bowl with your chopsticks.Beggars tap on their bowls, so this is not polite.Also, when the food is coming too slow in a restarant, people will tap their bowls. If you are in someones home,it is like insulting the cook.

春节，是一个使人难忘的节日。在这一天，人们穿新衣、看春晚、放鞭炮??

最难忘的就是放鞭炮了。

春节的夜晚，我和老爸一起在外面放鞭炮。我们买了许多鞭炮，有“地雷”、“窜天”??我先拿了一个“地雷”，点燃导火线，我就立马跑到了别的地方。“地雷”已经“开花”了，那声音，不低于排山倒海了！

我老爸拿了一个”窜天”的炮。我觉得很奇怪：它为什么叫“窜天”呢？难道是它能窜到天上去吗？我继续疑惑不解的看着：老爸点燃导火线，便跑到了我这儿。那个“窜天”的导火线燃了起来。我疑惑不解的看着，只见：“窜天”一下子转了起来，它身边燃着火花，等那些火苗快没的时候，目瞪口呆的景象发生了：那个“窜天”突然飞了起来，在空中又燃起了火花，那火花比那时更旺更焰。

这次春节给我留下了许多不解之谜：为什么那个“窜天”在快到的时候又飞了上去，而那些火焰也比以前的旺？当然，这次春节给我留下了许多好记忆、些许快乐、还让我忘都忘不了这次的春节，这次的放鞭炮。这个春节的放鞭炮成了我心中永远都忘不了的记忆，给了我许多问题，也给了我许多快乐。这就是我春节的难忘记忆。

It is the day that the families get together.

The spring festival is usually in the February ,sometimes in January.In the spring festival,every family all paste the lucky inscriptions,they fire the cracker,they eat the dumplings.The day before the new years first day is the new years eve,same as the christmas eve,all the families get together to have the new yaars dinner,wishes each other,talk about the wishes about the new year.Small children will receive the money given to children as a lunar new year gift.

泱泱中华五千年，让炎黄子孙引以为傲的中国文化经过时光千年的淘洗，不但没有湮没在淘淘江水中，反而历久弥新，源远流长。文化犹如数盏香茗，品之清新盈口；文化恰似玉液琼浆，赏之唇齿留香……

早在两千年前，中国历史上便出现了在今日仍有深远影响的“百家争鸣”，各流派争妍斗艳的局面至今历历在目。从此中国出现了众多文化思想大解放运动。历史云涌，风云变幻，也正是因为这些思想的解放，一代枭雄纷纷涌出，刻画历史传奇，推翻旧制，创立新朝，由此朝代更替，传承文化精髓，文化由此得到继承……

纵观世界，未必有那个国家可以像中华文化这样，不仅持续之久，而且内容丰富……

诗词歌赋，为后人留下了宝贵的财富，有以死明志的“人生自古谁无死，留取丹心照汗青”，有乐观豁达的“长风破浪会有时，直挂云帆济沧海”，有孤寂凄苦的“人比黄花瘦”，有时光流逝的“少壮不努力，老大徒伤悲”，相比之下，还没有哪个国家，在经历千年中，自己民族主动提出变更语言，实现发展大跨越，在今天，学者们对于古诗，古文的研究仍乐此不疲，那些数量庞大的典籍，叩响一代代人民智慧的大门。

除此之外，中国散发着古老而迷人的气息。我们有着意境颇深的琴棋书画、有着书香味道的笔墨纸砚、有着高洁傲岸的梅兰竹菊、有着恬静娴雅的亭台楼阁……四大发明，放飞腾跃的巨龙；十大名曲，演绎流年的风韵；四大雅戏，传播艺术的绝傲；十二生肖，彰显先辈的期望……

每逢佳节倍思亲。中国的节日更是数不胜数。一、二月的春节，全家团圆乐开怀；三月的妇女节，天下母亲露笑颜；四月的清明节，缅怀故人记恩情；五月的劳动节，乐于助人学雷锋；六月的儿童节，童稚之声遍地传；七月的七夕节，情人浪漫立誓言；八月的建军节，举国感恩军奉献；九月的重阳节，人间赏菊齐登山；十月的国庆节，神州普庆成立日；十二月的腊八节，寒冬周身也温暖……

文化中国，中国文化，做为炎黄子孙，我们骄傲！

今夜，读《中国文化概论》。

绪论

1、君子的定义

《论语·雍也》说：“质胜文则野，文胜质则史，文质彬彬，然后君子”，意思阐释了文质彬彬的君子应该是这样的，“质朴胜过了文饰就会粗野，文饰胜过了质朴就会虚浮，质朴和文饰比例恰当，然后才可以成为彬彬有礼的君子。”

2、文化的创造过程

人类从“茹毛饮血，茫然于人道”的“直立之兽”演化而来，逐渐形成与“天道”既相互联系又相互区别的“人道”，这便是文化的创造过程。在文化的创造与发展中，主体是人，客体是自然，而文化便是人与自然、主体与客体在实践中的对立统一物。这里的“自然”，不仅指存在于人身之外并与之相对立的外在自然界，也指人类的本能、人的身体的各种自然属性。文化是改造自然、改造社会的活动，它同时也改造“改造者”自身、即实践着的人。人创造了文化，同样，文化也创造了人。

举个例子，一块天然的岩石不具备文化意蕴，但经过人工打磨，便注入了人的价值观念和劳动技能，从而进入“文化”范畴。人打磨石器的过程，人在这一过程中知识水平和技能的提高，在这一过程中结成的相互关系，以及最后完成的这件包含着人的价值取向的石器，都是文化现象，均属“文化”范畴。因此，文化的实质性含义是“人化”或“人类化”，是人类主体通过社会实践活动，适应、利用、改造自然界客体而逐步实现自身价值观念的过程。

简而言之，凡是超越本能的、人类有意识地作用于自然界和社会的一切活动及其结果，都属于文化；或者说，“自然的人化”即是文化。

3、大文化及文化结构

大文化着眼于人类与一般动物、人类社会与自然界的本质区别，着眼于人类卓立于自然的独特生存方式，其涵盖面非常广泛，所以又被称为“大文化”。其文化结构如下四个方面：

（1）由人类加工自然创制的各种器物，即“物化的知识力量”构成的物态文化层。它是人的物质生产活动及其产品的总和，是可感知的、具有物质实体的文化事物，构成整个文化创造的基础。

（2）由人类在社会实践中建立的各种社会规范、社会组织构成的制度文化层。如社会制度、婚姻制度、家族制度、政治法律制度，家族、民族，国家，经济、政治，宗教社团，教育、科技、艺术组织等。

（3）由人类在社会实践，尤其是在人际交往中约定俗成的习惯性定势构成的行为文化层。这一类以民风民俗形态出现，见之于日常起居动作之中，具有鲜明的民族、地域特色的行为模式。如“百里不同风，千里不同俗”之说。

（4）由人类社会实践和意识活动中长期孕育出来的价值观念、审美情趣、思维方式等构成的心态文化层。这是文化的核心部分。

心态文化层又可分为社会心理和社会意识形态两个层次。

社会心理指人们日常的精神状态和思想面貌，是尚未经过理论加工和艺术升华的流行的大众心态，诸如人们的要求、愿望、情绪等等。

社会意识形态则指经过系统加工的社会意识，它们往往是由文化专家 对社会心理进行理论归纳、逻辑整理、艺术完善，并以物化形态——通常是著作、艺术作品——固定下来，播之四海，传于后世。社会意识形态又可区分为基层意识形态（如政治理论、法权观念）和高层意识形态（如哲学、文学、艺术、宗教）。

4、小文化

小文化是排除人类社会——历史生活中关于物质创造活动及其结果的部分，专注于精神创造活动及其结果，因此，被称为小文化。小文化主要讨论涉及精神创造领域的文化现象。需要说明的是，我们在研究人类的精神创造时，不能忽略物质创造活动的基础意义和作用；在讨论关于心态文化诸问题的同时，不能忽略物态文化、制度文化、行为文化对于心态文化的影响和制约。总之，不能将“小文化”与“大文化”割裂开来。

5、中国文化与中国传统文化

上古时华夏族（汉族古称）建国于黄河流域，自认为居天下之中央，故称中国，而将周边地区称为四方。

“中华”之得名，由来已久。“中”，意谓居四方之中。“华”，本意为光辉、文采、精粹，用于族名，蕴含文化发达之意。

上编

1、地理环境对中国文化的作用与影响

地理环境可以分为自然环境、经济环境和社会文化环境。黄河中下游一带成为先民生存和繁衍的最适宜的地区。根据文献记载和考古发掘的结果，夏商周的中心地区是今天河南省的中部和北部、山西省南部、陕西省的关中盆地、河北省的西南部和山东省的西部。这些皆是当时自然环境条件最优越的地区。

在中国占主导地位的传统文化，无论是物质的，还是精神的，都是建立在农业生产的基础上的。它们形成于农业区，也随着农业区的扩大而传播。

黄河中下游地区成为中国上古时代的政治、经济和人文中心。后随着战乱的频仍，中国农耕区的中心，逐渐从黄河流域向长江中下游地区和江南地区转移。“苏杭熟，天下足”和“湖广熟，天下足”的谚语即反映了唐宋以来经济重心南移的历史事实，“东南财税”与“西北甲兵”共同构成了唐以后历代社会政治稳定的基本格局。

中国文化依赖的社会政治结构

中国的社会政治结构：是一种“家国同构”的社会政治结构，是中国一脉相承的封建专制制度和带有某种血缘温情的宗法制度的结合。这种社会政治结构深刻地影响着中国文化，包括占主导地位的意识形态，史学、文学、艺术、民风民俗，甚至科学技术等等。要理解中国文化的特点，需要了解中国传统社会政治结构。

1、宗法制度

宗法制度的本质就是家族制度的政治化。一部中国史，就是一部家族统治史。纵观整个中国历史，宗法制度一直深深地影响着中华民族的生活。

2、家国同构

家国同构是指家庭、家族和国家在组织结构方面的共同性。故梁启超先生说:“吾中国社会之组织，以家族为单位，不以个人为单位，所谓家齐而后国治是也。周代宗法之制，在今日其形式虽废，其精神犹存也。”

3、中国君主专制制度的特点

以武力为先导，控制宗教势力，专制时间漫长。中华民族刚刚进步到文明的边沿，就形成了一个祖先，一个权力，一个核心，这无论与古代埃及，抑或两河流域、印度、古希腊，都是不同的。
