One explanation is that the Duanwu Festival originated from people’s worship of dragons. In ancient China, people believed the dragon was the god in charge of water, which was vitally important to daily life and agricultural production. On the day of Duanwu, people raced dragon boats to entertain the god and offered him Zongzi as a treat. The sole purpose was to please the god to ensure a year of favorable weather.

Some people believe Duanwu comes from activities instigated by ancient sorcerers. These activities were held in early summer when the hot weather was about to bring diseases to people who didn’t have modern devices and medicines to protect themselves. So, ancient sorcerers encouraged people to wear fragrant pouches and hang mugwort and calamus on their doors to drive away the so-called evil spirits that caused diseases.

Scholars may provide many other explanations about the origin of the Duanwu Festival. But if you ask ordinary people about its origin, you’ll get the same answer. They will tell you that the Duanwu Festival honors the great poet, Qu Yuan. They’ll also tell you the story that has been passed down for more than 2,000 years.

Qu Yuan was born in 340 BC, during the Warring States Period. At that time, there were seven states struggling among themselves to unify China. Of the seven states, Qin was the strongest and Chu the largest.

Qu Yuan was a noble of Chu. During his lifetime, the powerful kingdom of Chu fell into a decline.

Early in his life, Qu Yuan won the confidence of the King of Chu, and was his deputy prime minister, helping draft laws and determine foreign-policy. When he saw the danger posed by the ambitious Qin State, he proposed government reforms and an alliance with the neighboring Qi state as a way to ensure Chu’s safety.

But the King of Chu was surrounded by self-seekers, who were jealous of Qu Yuan. They accepted bribes from the Qin’s envoy, dissuaded the King from taking Qu Yuan’s advice and brought about the poet’s estrangement from the King. Qu Yuan was finally sent into exile for 20 years.

During those desperate years, Qu Yuan helplessly watched his beloved country become weaker every day. In the year 278 BC, the capital of Chu was stormed by troops from Qin. In great pain, Qu Yuan wrote “Lisao” or “The Lament”, the greatest of all his poems. On the fifth day of the fifth lunar month, he drowned himself in the Milo River, because he was hopeless about his country’s future.

Qu Yuan died thousands of years ago, but he is remembered every year for his love of and loyalty to his country and his people.

Datong is a city with a long history. As early as Palaeolithic age, there were ancient people living in this area. During the Warring States Period (476 BC - 221 BC), Datong region belonged to the Yanmen County of Zhao Kingdom. After Qin (221BC - 206 BC) unified the whole of China, the Great Wall was built west of Datong City. Datong got the name Pingcheng County that means peaceful city in Chinese because of years of harsh battle with the Hun. During the Northern and Southern Dynasties (420-589), Pingcheng was settled as the capital of Northern Wei Kingdom for 96 years and became ruinds at the year 526. After a long term of recovering, it became an important strategic county during Sui (581-618), Tang (618-907) and Five Dynasties (907-979). Liao Dynasty (916-1125) made Datong the auxiliary capital in 1044 and Jin (Kin) (1115-1234) retained it as a big city comprised of seven counties and three towns. During the Yuan Dynasty (1271-1368), Datong belonged to Zhongshu Province and had become a ’grandiose and beautiful city’ according to the description of the Italian traveler Marco Polo. In Qing Dynasty (1644-1911), Datong belonged to Shanxi Province and became Datong County during the domination of Republic of China. Datong was invaded by Japanese army in 1937 and became the capital of the so-called Northern Shanxi Self-Government. Finally in 1949, Datong was peacefully liberated.

①我的母亲刚过50岁,像我们的国家一样,经历了传统美德和现代意识两个时代。②我的母亲受过高等教育。但她有家庭责任感,为了我们家她牺牲了自己的事业。

③她善于接受新鲜事物。近年来,她成了股迷,还成了足球迷。

④我爱我的妈妈,我们成了亲密的朋友。

【作文示范】

My Mother

My mother is just over fifty, a little bit older than our republic nation, so she has experienced two periods just like our country, showing both the traditional goodness and modern ideas.

Like all mothers, she is responsible and devotes most of her efforts to our family. So sometimes I feel regretful for her to give up her work, but she thinks it is the proper social role for a woman to be a housewife. She is satisfied with the family members' achievements. She insists on keeping her children under her wings. You see how traditional she is.

However, since she is intelligent①and has received the high education, it is easy for her to accept something new. In recent years, she is interested in the stock②. Therefore, she cares about the political and economic③ situation of the country and the world, and actively collects information of the companies whose stocks she bought. What is more, she is a fan of the Argentine④football team. So she was very sad after the defeat of this team in the 14th World Cup Tournament ⑤.

I love my mother, just because she loves me. Since we share some interests such as playing chess, we get chances to communicate⑥with each other, which makes us close friends.

【词语解释】

①intelligent[in'telidN nt] a.聪明的;明智的

②stock[st&k] n.股票

③economic[?i:k 'n&mik] a.经济(上)的

④Argentine ['a:dN ntain] a.阿根廷的

⑤tournament ['tu n m nt]n.锦标赛;比赛

⑥communicate[k 'mju:nikeit]v.交流(感情、信息等)

【写法指要】

这是一篇介绍家庭成员的说明文。本文是典型的启、承、转、合结构的文章。“启”就是开始,即引言段,作者在该段写出篇题:“showing both traditional goodness and modern ideas”,指出“母亲”既保持了传统美德,又接受了现代意识。“承”即接续之意,也就是扩充引言段篇题方面的内容。本文第二段写“母亲”的传统美德,就是“承”的段落。“转”是用来表示与第二段相反或不同意见的内容,常用“however,but”等词语来表达。本文第三段即为“转”段,它说明篇题的第二层意思,也就是“母亲”的现代意识。所谓“合”就是结束,即指结尾段,该段往往综合前三段内容,对全文做一总结。本文作者总结说,由于母亲和自己的情趣相同,所以他们相亲相爱,如同亲密无间的朋友似的。

Last qingming Festival,i return home to worship my grandfather.qingming Festival is a folk Festival.In the past,In the past, the qingming Festival was called "Arbor Day". But Today, Chinese visit their family graves to tend to any underbrush that has grown. Weeds are pulled, and dirt swept away, and the family will set out offerings of food and spirit money. Unlike the sacrifices at a familys home altar, the offerings at the tomb usually consist of dry, bland food. One theory is that since any number of ghosts rome around a grave area, the less appealing food will be consumed by the ancestors, and not be plundered by strangers.

With the passing of time, this celebration of life became a day to the honor past ancestors. Following folk religion, the Chinese believed that the spirits of deceased ancestors looked after the family. Sacrifices of food and spirit money could keep them happy, and the family would prosper through good harvests and more children.

篇20:介绍美国的英语作文

全文共 4458 字

The United States of America, also known as the United States, the U.S., the U.S.A., and America, is a country in North America that shares land borders with Canada and Mexico, and a sea border with Russia. Extending from the Atlantic Ocean to the Pacific Ocean, the United States is a federal republic, with its capital in Washington, D.C.

The present-day continental United States has been inhabited for at least 15,000 years by indigenous tribes.[1] After European exploration and settlement in the 16th century, the English established their own colonies—and gained control of others that had been begun by other European nations—in the eastern portion of the continent in the 17th and early 18th centuries. On 4 July 1776, at war with Britain over fair governance, thirteen of these colonies declared their independence. In 1783, the war ended in British acceptance of the new nation. Since then, the country has more than quadrupled in size: it now consists of 50 states and one federal district; it also has numerous overseas territories.

At over 3.7 million square miles (over 9.5 million km²), the U.S. is the third or fourth largest country by total area, depending on whether the disputed areas of China are included. It is the worlds third most populous nation, with nearly 300 million people.

The United States has maintained a liberal democratic political system since it adopted its Articles of Confederation on 1 March 1781 and the Constitution, the Articles replacement, on 17 September 1787. American military, economic, cultural, and political influence increased throughout the 20th century; with the collapse of the Soviet Union at the end of the Cold War, the nation emerged as the worlds sole remaining superpower.[2] Today, it plays a major role in world affairs.

The earliest known use of the name America is from 1507, when a globe and a large map created by the German cartographer Martin Waldseemüller in Saint-Die-des-Vosges described the combined continents of North and South America. Although the origin of the name is uncertain[3], the most widely held belief is that expressed in an accompanying book, Cosmographiae Introductio, which explains it as a feminized version of the Latin name of Italian explorer Amerigo Vespucci (Americus Vespucius); in Latin, the other continents names were all feminine. Vespucci theorized, correctly, that Christopher Columbus, on reaching islands in the Caribbean Sea in 1492, had come not to India but to a "New World".

The Americas were also known as Columbia, after Columbus, prompting the name District of Columbia for the land set aside as the U.S. capital. Columbia remained a popular name for the United States until the early 20th century, when it fell into relative disuse; but it is still used poetically and appears in various names and titles. A female personification of the country is also called Columbia; she is similar to Britannia.[4][5][6][7] Columbus Day, a holiday in the U.S. and other countries in the Americas commemorating Columbus October 1492 landing.

The term "united States of America" was first used officially in the Declaration of Independence, adopted on 4 July 1776. On 15 November 1777, the Second Continental Congreadopted the Articles of Confederation, the first of which stated "The Stile of this Confederacy shall be The United States of America."

The adjectival and demonymic forms for the United States are American, a point of controversy among some.

美利坚合众国,也被称为美国,美国,美国美国,是一个在北美国家,陆地边界与加拿大和墨西哥,和一个与俄罗斯的海上边界。从大西洋到太平洋,美国是一个联邦共和国,为首都的华盛顿特区

当今美国大陆已经居住了至少15000年的土著部落。[1]在16世纪欧洲的探索和殖民之后,英国建立了自己的殖民地和控制他人所开始较之其他欧洲大陆的东部地区在17和18世纪早期。1776年7月4日,在战争与英国公平治理,十三个殖民地宣布独立。在1783年战争结束后在英国接受的新国家。自那以来,中国已超过四倍大小:现在由50个州和一个联邦地区;它还有众多的海外领土。

²超过370万平方英里(370万多公里),美国是第三或第四大的国家,面积,取决于中国的争议地区。它是世界上第三人口最多的国家,有近3亿人。

美国一直保持着自由民主政治体系的文章,因为它采用了联盟1781年3月1日,宪法,文章的更换,1787年9月17日。美国的军事、经济、文化和政治影响力增加贯穿整个20世纪,随着苏联解体,冷战结束,美国成为这个世界剩下的唯一超级大国。今天[2],它在世界事务中扮演着重要的角色。

最早使用的名称美国从1507年开始,当一个截止阀和一个大地图创建的瓦尔德泽米勒所绘制德国地理学家马丁在Saint-Die-des-Vosges描述了北美和南美大陆。虽然名字的起源是不确定的[3],最普遍的信仰是表示在一本书,Cosmographiae Introductio,这也解释了它作为一个女性化版本的拉丁名字的意大利探险家阿美利哥韦斯普奇(绒毛Vespucius);在拉丁语中,其他大陆的名字都是女性。韦斯普奇的理论正确,克里斯托弗·哥伦布到达1492年在加勒比海岛屿,已经不是印度,而是一个“新的世界”。

美洲也被称为哥伦比亚,在哥伦布,促使土地的名字特区留出随着美国资本。美国哥伦比亚大学仍然是一个受欢迎的名字,直到20世纪初,当它落入相对废弃;但它仍然是用诗意和出现在不同的名字和头衔。国家也被称为哥伦比亚的女性化身,她是类似于不列颠。哥伦布日,假期在美国和其他国家在美洲纪念哥伦布1492年10月着陆。
