有关学习外语的建议的英语作文（汇编19篇）

As we know, many people favor the idea that the college life is free and

comfortable, but I’d like to say it’s not true. As a matter of fact, my life in

university is so busy that I wonder if my energy is enough. As to my college

life, I divide it into four parts, including study, student activities, library

and the others.

Firstly, I want to talk about the study. In my opinion, study is the

priority in college. When I received the letter of admission in summer, I knew

clearly that what I should do. So I make up my mind to study hard and pursue

learning as much as possible. I’m greatly convinced that knowledge can change my

life. Therefore, I often go to the quiet study room where many people study

there. By working so hard, I get good grades in the exams.

Secondly, student activities play an important role in our college life. To

be honest, the student Union is a good place where one can develop social

skills, get his abilities trained. I take part in many student activities. For

example, I’ m a volunteer, teaching the kids to learn to dance and write. I

think it’s meaningful for everyone to give a hand to others. I can also do some

jobs in the Student Union, including receiving and sending fast mail, selling

papers and magazines. I think they’re unforgettable and worthwhile experiences

for me.

Thirdly, I also visit the library constantly. It’s said that “shelves of

books, oceans of knowledge”, so I read books that I’m interested in. In this

way, I can share stories with my new friends and it also changes my horizons

.When I’m sad, lost or in trouble, staying the library makes me quiet and

comfortable. After all, every life has bad moments as well as good ones, and the

library for me is a support in bad moments. So it’s wise choice for me to stay

in the library.

Finally, I often do other things in my spare time. In order to alleviate

parents’ burden, I often do some part-time jobs and write some articles to earn

money. It helps me to be independent and improve my social skills.

In short, my life in university is busy but valuable. You can see that

study brings me knowledge, student activities improve myself, library changes my

horizons, the others things make me independent. They get all my abilities

trained. And I see that the chance will come only if you have a prepared mind,

so I’m sure that I can achieve my dreams in college life.

October 1st is the national day of our country, which is a public holiday for the whole country. It’s an important day that marks the beginning of PRC. On that day, there are plenty of celebrations holding throughout the country, from the central government to the general people. And public places, including big squares, parks are decorated in festive theme. In recent years, the national holiday means the golden week as well, which is a short holiday that all people expect to. With the improvement of living standards, people have more money and desire to travel and the golden week is a good chance for them. Besides, for those people who would not go out, it’s a good time to have a good rest as well. Therefore, the national day means a lot to the Chinese.

10月1日是我国的国庆节,这对于整个国家是一个公共假日。这是一个重要的日子,标志着中华人民共和国开始。在那一天,有很多庆祝控股全国,从中央政府到一般人。和公共场所,包括大广场,公园在节日的装饰主题。近年来,国家节日意味着黄金周,这是一个短暂的假期,所有的人都期待。随着生活水平的提高,人们有更多的钱和渴望旅游黄金周是一个很好的机会。除此之外,对于那些人不出去,这是一个很好的时间来好好休息一下。因此,中国的国庆节意味着很多。

More and more people now show their great interests intraveling, because

traveling can bring us a lot of benefits.

To begin with, having worked hard for a few months, traveling can release

us from high pressure. More importantly, traveling can help us acquire more

knowledge. No matter how many books we have read, there is still plenty of

knowledge for us to learn from traveling, like history, culture, custom, and

geography of the places we visit. By the way, through traveling, we can meet

many new friends and taste different kinds of delicious food.

While some people are not interested in traveling at all, since traveling

will cost a great deal of money on transportation and accommodation, and they

may feel tired after sightseeing as well.

As far as I’m concerned, the advantages of traveling are more than its

disadvantages, so if our time and finance permit, we can travel to some nice

places every year, in order to make our life more colorful and vivid.

Its beyond reproach that we will come across all kinds of difficulties and

challenges in our life time .Some will be subjected to frequent sadness .Some

will lose their way to move on .Thus,only when we equip ourselves with hope and

courage can we finally succeed in the uncertain future.

Forrest Gump showed so great courage in the movie that he touched me a lot

. For one thing,no matter when and where Jenny got into trouble ,Forrest Gump

would bring her out of it without thinking how dangerous the situation would be

.Maybe we should all fell ashamed that we love ourselves more than we love love

,but Forrest showed great courage in love .For another,Forrest gump risked his

life to save Bubba in the war.Its courage that helped Forrest gain a series of

honor after war .Forrest Gump is beautiful for his perseverance and touches

others with his courage.

A person cant do without courage in terms of love and friendship ,let alone

life . A weak person may avoid the difficulties ,but a person with courage will

face up to it head-on. Therefore,letequip ourselves with great courage.

环境保护

随着中国经济的发展，环境问题也越来越突出。保护环境，成了我们重要的职责。如果我们再让状况如此下去的话，留给我们后代的恐怕就不是一个健康的地球了。这给我们敲响了一个警钟，那就是要尽快实施环境保护的一些措施。最近，很多问题越来越明显的出此刻公众的眼中。食品安全问题、酸雨问题、水资源缺乏问题、气候问题，all of all，归根结底都是环境的问题。社会的发展就应成为环境保护的基石，我们就应用不断产生的新技术来保护环境。同时，环境的保护就应成为社会发展的一个重要的部分。综上所述，我认为环境的保护就应从两个方面来实施。On the one hand， 相应的法律就应被制定by政府。On the other hand， 环保意识就应在公众中间进行广泛的宣传。我相信如果我们始终把环保问题放在发展的第一位，我们的社会将更快更健康的发展。

As the developing of Chinese economy， the problem of protecting environment is being more and more important。 It is a crucial responsibility for us。 If we let this situation go as it is， it would be almost not a health earth for our offspring。 It sounds an alarm to us that we should execute the steps of protecting environment quickly。 Recently， a large number of problems appeared obviously， the security of food， the acid rain， the lack of water， the worse weather， all of all， it is the problem of environment in the final analysis。 The development of society should be the basic of protecting environment， we ought to protect environment by newer technology。 Meanwhile， the protecting environment should play an important role in the development of society。 Accordingly， I argue that we should protect environment in two aspects。 On the one hand， the related laws should be established by government。 On the other hand， the consciousness of protecting environment ought to be publicized in public。 I have an unshakable believe that if we put the problem of protecting environment be the first place， our society would have been developing fast and healthily。

通过幼儿园组织师德师风教育学习，我简单得谈谈以下几点体会：

第一，情系幼儿，像母亲一般爱每个孩子。幼儿教育的对象都是3—7岁的孩子，他们幼小，像刚出土的嫩苗，需要“园丁”的呵护和培养。关爱每个孩子。其一，关心他们的生活;其二，熟悉孩子们的基本情况;其三，平等对待每个孩子。

第二，运用多元智能理念，在教育过程中，要开发孩子多方面的智力，根据孩子的具体情况而把教学具体化。幼儿教师的标准是：平易近人、严中带慈、公平待人。严厉并不是苛刻，老师也是有七情六欲的，教师对幼儿尊重。

第三，在教育过程中，不断丰富自身学识，努力提高自身能力、业务水平，高度的事业心、责任心、爱岗敬业。坚持“一切为了孩子，为了孩子的一切”，与每一个孩子建立平等、和谐、融洽、相互尊重的关系，关心每一个孩子，尊重每一个孩子的人格，努力发现和开发每一个孩子的潜在优秀品质，正确处理教师与孩子家长的关系。贯彻《幼儿教育新纲要》的思想，坚持以人为本，终身教育的理念，使幼儿获得终身受益的品质和良好的个性，态度，能力等。

第四，塑造师德风范，潜心练功。“给孩子一杯水，教师本身应该有一桶水”，此话很有道理。在幼儿教育中，我感到在孩子们眼中，教师是一个完美无缺的人物，是最可值得依赖的人，你的投手举足，都潜移默化地影响孩子们，孩子从教师身上看到无私奉献，孜孜不倦追求精神，看到社会的形象，师德不只是学识问题，更是塑造良好教师形象的问题。因此对于师德除了要深刻认识其重要性，更关键就是如何去提高自己的师德。

本人结合自己的情况，下决心就以下两方面提高修养。

首先，严以律己，注重言行。为人师表，坚持严以律己，增强自身的自控能力，控制自己的情绪，始终保持良好、平和的心境，精神饱满地投入工作，要把自己看作既是个普通的人，又是个教育者，到了幼儿园就应该把属于个人一切不快和烦恼留在门外，言谈应该和颜悦色，循循善诱，举止应该优美文雅，体现心灵之美，自己的穿着应该朴素大方得体，符合幼儿的审美情趣。

其次，培养良好的内在素养。天生丽质固然能给人以美感，使人愉悦，但是作为一名幼儿教师更重要的是塑造幼儿的内在修养，这样教师本人的学识和内在素养就显得格外重要。教师的一言一行深刻的影响着每一个幼儿。

通过师德师风的学习，在以后的工作中我要更进一步认真学习贯彻纲要精神，遵循幼儿教育心理规律以及幼儿身心发展的特点，努力做好教育工作。

师德是教师素质的重要组成部分，它是教师和一切教育工作者在从事教育活动中必须遵守的道德规范和行为准则，以及与之相适应的道德观念、情操和品质。由于教师所从事的职业是教育人塑造人的事业，因此，教师道德素质比教师文化素质更为重要。最近学习了《幼儿园教师职业道德规范细则》，学习后我觉得收益很大，《幼儿园教师职业道德规范细则》，让我对教师这一崇高的职业又有了新的认识和感悟。教师作为人类灵魂的工程师，不仅要教好书，还要育好人，各个方面都要为人师表。师德不仅是对教师个人行为的规范要求，而且也是教育幼儿的重要手段，起着“以身立教”的作用。教师要做好幼儿的灵魂工程师，首先自己要有高尚的道德情操，才能以德治教，以德育人，才能成为一名合格的教育工作者。

我认为教师首先要热爱幼儿，必须对每一个幼儿一视同仁，不能偏爱一部分幼儿，而冷淡或歧视另一部分幼儿。其次要为人师表，注重身教重于言教。孔子说：“其身正，不令而行;其身不正，虽令不从。”幼儿总是把教师看作学习、模仿的对象。因此，幼儿教师一定要时刻注意自己的一言一行，以高尚的人格去感染人，以整洁的仪表去影响人，以和蔼的态度去对待人，以丰富的学识去引导人，以博大的胸怀去爱护人。只有这样，才能保证教书育人的实效。第二要有高涨的工作热情：许许多多成功人士的经验告诉我们，成功取决于积极主动的心态。而教师的积极情绪、主动心态更是身心健康的一种内驱力，能促使我们积极向上，不断进取。不仅如此，教师的良好心态还能给幼儿带来很大的影响，促进他们健康快乐地成长，最终达成教育教学目标，并形成良性循环。第三：我觉得教师要无私奉献，关心每一位幼儿的成长，一名教师应该对幼儿无私奉献，热爱幼儿，尊重、理解幼儿以人为本，关心爱护幼儿。第四：要养成终身学习的习惯，教师应该活到老学到老，才能胜任这一富有挑战性的职业。我们就应该不断地给自己充电，把读书当成一种习惯，把学习看作一种乐趣，从各种渠道汲取新的营养，使自己变得更为睿智。

Yesterday,I went to have a picnic with my old classmates.We dated with each other several days ago.And we were all expecting the days come. At last, the excited day came.

2we had a picnic in fall last year. first we climbed to the top of the hill. we saw many pupils there. we talked ,laughed and played together. then at picnic time, we shared our food .we saw a beautiful stream near by. but there was much rubbish in it. thats a pity .we thought we should tell the people to protect our living environment. so after our picnic, we put up several signs near the stream. we wrote "please keep the stream clean and beautiful" on the signs. time to go home, we said goodbye each other and we made an appointment of next year.. on our way home, we all thought thats a very interesting picnic.

昨天，我到有我的老彼此几天给classmates.We野餐ago.And大家都期待的一天来。最后，兴奋那天。我们去的地方，我们决定有野餐的一部分。在野餐，我们彼此交谈，玩游戏等。总的来说，我有一个愉快的一天，我永远不会忘记it.Because是这样的野餐高兴，我们remaided这么多的乐趣在我们的童年的事情。

2we曾在去年秋季野餐。首先，我们爬上了山顶。我们看到有许多学生。我们交谈，笑着一起玩。然后在野餐时，我们分享我们的食物。我们看到了一个美丽的流附近。但有许多内容是垃圾。这是一个遗憾。我们认为我们应该告诉人们保护我们的居住环境。所以我们的野餐后，我们提出了几个附近的流标志。我们说“请保持清洁，美丽的流”的标志。回家的时候，我们彼此说了声再见，我们进行了一个任命明年..在回家的路上，我们都以为这是一个非常有趣的野餐。

As we all know, there are three stages in studypreview, study in class and review, among whichreview is the most important. From my experience, Id like to talk about the importance andsteps of review. Firstly, make a review plan with certain contents of subjects at acertain time.Secondly, carry on the review plan regularly. Thirdly, examine what has been reviewed andmake supplement in time. One thing to remember is to keep notes all the time. I follow myreview plan strictly and have made progress in my study. It turns out to be good enough. Ofcourse, there is more than one way to review. So long as we review regularly, we can find moreways to improve our studies.

我们都知道，学习有三个环节：预习、课堂学习和复习，三者中复习是最重要的。我愿意从我的经验谈复习的重要性和步骤方法。首先，制定复习计划，确定在某段时间里复习课程的具体内容。其次，有规律地执行复习计划。第三，检测所复习的内容，及时弥补。有一件事必须记住，就是要时时记笔记。我严格遵循复习计划，在学习上取得了进步，证明复习是可取的。当然，不只有一种复习办法。只要我们有规律地复习，我们可以找到更多改善学习的方法。

[高考满分英语作文：学习方法

What is the purpose of students studying hard all these years, of course

for the better future. Every parent wants their kids have advantage over others,

so they can be outstanding and have a good job. Students learn in campus, they

are in the stage of studying knowledge while getting a job soon, there is

necessary for them knowing something about society.

Before study in college, students focus all their attention on study for

entering a good college, they don’t need to care about other things, it is also

what their parents tell them. After entering college, it is a little different,

at this stage, study is no more the only task, students should have access to

society. They should make some preparation for the job hunting, knowing society

helps them get use to the society quickly. Some students only care about score,

when they find a job, the employer will ask him something about the public news,

but students have no idea, this is so bad. What’s more, getting familiar with

the society makes students find their own positions, they will know what they

want and fight for it.

The atmosphere of society is very different from campus, in order to better

adjust to finding a job, students should get to know society.

Darfur once said that, “The future of illiteracy is no longer illiterate

people, but did not learn how to learn.” In the future world, everyone has to

face the contemporary issue that learn to learn, which is the key to the

lifelong learning as well as the permit to the era of knowledge economy.

Firstly, having an aim is the premise of learn to learn. The goal is the

direction of learning, only when you set up a goal can you have motivation.

Secondly, autonomic learning is the foundation of learning. Study is a lifelong

task. When we stay in school, we have teachers teaching. But after we graduate,

we have to learning independently, and atonomic learning seems particularly

important. Thirdly, scientific learning methods are the keys to learning, which

conductive to cultivate and improve a variety of learning abilities so as to

improve learning efficiency. Finally, make plans for your learning.

When we read newspapers, our attention is always attracted by increasing

unemployment rate in young graduates who are leaving college. In my opinion,

there are many causes for this disquieting phenomenon and we should try to solve

the problem.

Most companies would rather employ a low-educational specialized worker

than a this-years graduate from a well-known university. For companies, they are

more likely to choose the candidates with rich working experience. Apparently

enough, the training for young graduates usually costs them a large quantity of

time and money. In addition, the current education system brings on a lot of

bookworms who are adept in theoretical but not practical knowledge. Therefore,

it is hard for those graduates to complete the practical assignments

successfully and smoothly. This is one major reason why many graduates find it

to find suitable jobs.

An un-mandatory retirement age is another factor leading to the youth

unemployment for college graduates. Along with the improving of working

efficiency, proficient employees with rich and extensive working experience get

retired at a much later age. In this case, for young graduates, there are fewer

chances to get access to the jobs taken up by the older and more

experienced.

The Mid-autumn Festival

The Mid-autumn Festival?is one of the most?important?festivals in China.

Before the festival， many shops sell?mooncakes， round cakes with meat，

eggs，?nuts?or something sweet inside. On the Mid-autumn Festival， each family

get together and have a big dinner.

In the evening we eat moon cakes and all kinds of fruit， such as apples，

pears，?grapes?and watermelons. We look up at the sky， and enjoy the begger and

brighter moon. Ourgrandparents?will tell us the story of Change again.

中秋节是中国最重要的节日之一。节前许多商店都卖月饼，那是一种圆饼，里面有肉、蛋、果仁和其他甜的东西。在中秋节，各家各户都团聚在一起，吃一顿丰盛的晚饭。

晚上我们吃月饼和各种水果，如：苹果、梨、葡萄和西瓜。我们仰望天空，欣赏那一轮明月。爷爷奶奶又要给我们讲起嫦娥的故事了。

Mothers Day Mother’s Day is a holiday when children honor their mothers with

cards, gifts and flowers. In many countries, such as Denmark, Finland, Italy,

Turkey, Australia and the US, people cel lebrate Mother’s Day on the second

Sunday in May while many other countries of the world celebrate their own

Mother’s day at different times through out the year.

One of the best ways to celebrate Mother’s Day is to give your mom the day

off. Let her relax with the rest of the family doing all the housework. Usually,

dad and the kids will let mom sleep late that morning as they go into the

kitchen to prepare her favourite breakfast. Never forget to place a vase with a

single flower on the table beside the food. The kids can pick up the flower from

the garden or buy one from the shop. Arrange everything nicely before mom wakes

up. Some families will carry the food and mom’s favourite sections from the

newspaper to her bedroom so that mom can have breakfast in bed. Presents and

cards from the kids can be handed to mom by themselves or just placed on the

dining table.

After breakfast, go anywhere mom likes to go. Shopping, swimming or going on

a picnic in the garden. Make a special Mother’s Day dinner or take mom out for a

great meal in a famous restaurant she loves most.

Anyway ,let mom enjoy the whole day and feel your love, and then the Mother’s

Day can be a good one. As Mother’s Day is around the corner, it’s time to take

actions!

There is an old Chinese saying: Top students come from strict teachers.

Perhaps affected by this saying for a long time, we believe it right. However,

as time flies, lots of things have changed. Therefore, I am eager to discuss

what relation is the best between teachers and students.A teacher can treat a

student in two ways .One is strict, and the other is friendly. Most teachers

prefer the first way.To start with, we certainly have to admit that strictness

is very effective, especially to the naughty pupils.

As pupils we aren’t able to control ourselves well or fix our attention on

one thing for a long time. We do most things because they are interesting or we

feel like doing. We are always looking out of the window in class. Sometimes, we

get to play games and forget our homework. On this occasion, strictness is a

must. It not only forces us to do the right thing, but also helps us develop a

good learning habit, which is of great importance during our whole life .In

other words, it is the first step to success.Still, everything has two sides.

Its weak points are very obvious. You see, there’re top students in a class,

where average students make up the majority. Then teachers’ orders or

suggestions are for the majority, not for top students. However, top students

always have their own study plans and prefer special homework, so orders usually

won’t take great effect on them.

Maybe you have thought out that teachers can give orders only to the

majority and set some freedom to top students. However, it’s impossible .For a

whole class, teachers couldn’t give order to part of the class, for the majority

would question why they needn’t do such work, but we need? It would be probable

that they think teachers treat them not equally, and will not obey teachers’

orders any more. This is a difficulty for teachers.It also has another

disadvantage——the communication problem .Since teachers are strict, we never

tell teachers our personal affairs or secrets. Mostly we just tell them to our

friends, but as students too, they couldn’t help to solve our problem, such as

puppy love, communication problems or study problems .Not being solved

completely, they always disturb us, influencing our daily life and study. I’m

sure that you think that making friends with teachers can solve the problem, and

you are eager to do so as well. But if we do so, new problems will come out .You

see, an adult couldnt control himself well at times, let alone us students.

However if teachers are our friends, I doubt whether their orders will take

effect any more .You see, have we ever treated our friends’ orders as orders? We

think they’re only jokes. This is another difficulty for teachers.Additionally,

our parents have the same problem. Yes, we need to be friends, but not complete

friends. We need to keep a certain distance, making us communicate well and

willing to take your orders. I remember a story.One day, a lady had her rest

room decorated. And a skilled worker was bricking up the wall. Seeing large

cracks between the bricks, she questioned why. The worker told her after this

summer, the bricks would become bigger, and those cracks would disappear.That is

not only decoration, but also communication. The principle is the same.

Improve Your English Through Practice

After2 or3 years English learning, you will probably wonder how to further improve your English. When you speak, do not translate what you want to say from Chinese into English. If you do, youll get mixed up in some usages①. Youll consider“wait”as a transitive ② verb, for instance. Youll never add “to”after“listen”,but you might write “sheeps” for the plural form, though you know theyre wrong when the mistakes are pointed out.

Therefore, to improve your English, you need to practise your spoken English, and think in English. That is to say, you should build up your sense of the English language.

Grasp any chance to speak English. When you see a desk, for example, have the word in your mind; say“Whats the time? Its….”when you see a clock. In this way, youll be able to learn with ease and use with freedom. For example, youll be able to tell that“Korea Lies to the east of China.”but“Guangzhou Likes in the south of China.”without hard thinking.

Were learning English as a foreign Language. It is true that we cannot learn it without any grammatical rules. But, your sense of grammatical rules comes from constant③ use of language. Its unnecessary to recite the rules and apply④ the rules in speaking. In a word, you will improve your English only by opening your mouth to practise. Practice makes perfect.

“What if I make mistakes in speaking English?”Do not worry. You neednt be afraid of making mistakes. Even when people speak their native language, they may make various kinds of mistakes! Further, many kinds of mistakes will be rubbed off in the process of learning through practice.

From the earliest time to the present days, viewpoints concerning human

nature were vehemently contended among prominent philosophers. Mencius believed

human nature is good, and people are naturally inclined toward virtue. While,

Xunzi deemed human are basically evil who need to be changed by man-made.

As it is widely known, human nature is that indestructible matrix upon

which the character is built. Accordingly, to a large extent, the basic nature

of human beings cannot be changed. On the other hand, each of us is naturally

endowed with diverse both qualities and personalities, which makes us unfold an

apparently distinct character. Then, it is hard for one to change his nature

fundamentally. Regardless of whether nature is innate or habitus acquired, they

were both a consistently developing courses that cannot be easily changed in a

short time. Last but not the least, external influencing factors, like

religious, education and even social institutions can merely direct our nature

on account of the most limited control. Thus, it is only the surface that is

capable of alteration, improvement and refinement.

In a word, the basic nature of human beings does not and cannot change and

also no one can fundamentally change his nature in the short time. But people

can make it perfect.

As we all know,March is the month to learn from the spirit of Lei Feng.However ,it become a controversial issue these years wether we should continue to learn from Lei Feng or not,especially when affairs that young men who kindly helped the old men were frauded were frequently reported.

Again its March now,do we still need to learn from Lei Feng?

In my opinion,its nesseary to learn from Lei Feng.

Firstly,its Chinese traditional virtue to help others. The typical story to help others is offering fuel to the poor in snow days.According to legend,in a cold winter ,its snowing heavily,the Emperor Taizong of Song felt cold even hes beside the fire.So he ordered his soldiers to send charcoal to the poor.Therefor,the story and the good virtue have been circulated so far.To be ready to help others is a kind of traditional culture our ancestor left us,we shouldnt forget it.

Secondly,if we abandoned the Lei Feng Spirit, the world would be dark.Imagine how hard and dull the life would be if people lived in a selfish and indifferent world?No people save the children in water,no donation for the disaters,thats a counterback of a whole nation. So its necessary forthegovement andschoolsto advocate the spirit of Lei Feng.

Of course,inevitably there are always evil people in every era.What we can do is take safe measure while helping others.

众所周知，三月是学习雷锋月。然后，是否要继续学习雷锋精神已成为一个争议性话题，尤其是频繁报道出帮助老人的年轻人被讹诈的新闻后。

现在又到三月了，我们还应当学习雷锋精神吗?

在我看来，学习雷锋精神是必要的。

首先，帮助他人是中国的传统美德。帮助他人的典型故事是雪中送炭。据传，在一个寒冷的冬天，雪下的很大。宋太宗即使在火边也觉得冷。所以他就命令士兵送木炭给那些穷人。所以这个故事和这种美德便流传至今。乐于助人是老祖宗留给我们的一种传统文化，我们不应当忘记。

其次，如果我们抛弃雷锋精神，世界将变得黑暗。试想，生活在一个自私，冷漠的世界里，生活会多么艰难和无趣。落水儿童无人救，灾难面前无人捐款，这是整个民族的倒退。所以说，政府和学校有必要倡导雷锋精神。

当然每个时代都不可避免地有坏人，我们能做的就是在帮助他人时采取安全的措施。

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.
