Will Christmas Replace the Spring Festival？

Christmas arouses increasing attention year by year in China。 Christmas cards bee popular with students。 People hold Christmas parties and exchange Christmas girts。 A lot or TV and radio programs about Christmas are on。 Meanwhile the Spring Festival is less appealing （有吸引力的）to youngsters。 Thus some people wonder whether Christmas will replace the Spring Festival。

This worry is fairly unnecessary。 Why ？ One reason lies that Christmas only affects Christians，college students and joint-venture （合资企业）workers。 Another reason is that Christmas is mostly celebrated in cities。 Few people in countryside show extreme interest in this exotic（带有异国情调的） festival。 By contrast，the Spring Festival is the most influential traditional festival in every family。

I think，it is natural that with increasing exchanges with the West，a lot of Western holidays have been gradually introduced into China。 For us Chinese we should never neglect or even discard our own traditional festivals。 For centuries Chinese have observed this traditional holiday to wele the beginning of a new year。 And we will treasure the Spring Festival forever。

Spring Festival is one of the traditional festivals in China. On the 30th day of the year, children should pay a New Years greetings to their elders. People want to be reunited with their loved ones and have a New Years eve dinner. To stay at home, watch "Spring Festival gala", while keeping watch; At 12 am, outside the home, the window, downstairs, firecrackers sound deafening, people set off firecrackers, completely intoxicated in the Spring Festival this festive season.

I spent the Spring Festival at my mother-in-laws house. In the evening, I watched the "Spring Festival gala" as usual, and when it was getting closer to 12, the host was counting down "10,9,8... 3,2,1. As the Numbers approached, the sound grew more and more slowly, and continued until 12 o clock. When the countdown is over, our house is busy! "Happy New Year! Chinese New Year! Youre one year older." Then our family went downstairs and set off fireworks. The other day, my uncle bought a lot of firecrackers. There is a gyro, a little bee, a pearl, a world, and a lot of names. The appearance of firecrackers also has many. Flower face, butterfly... Some of heaven and earth ring 20 hair, some of the world sounds 50, and there is another 100. Of all the firecrackers, the most striking is the sound of heaven and earth. Its about the same size as a small table. I can feed four or five people. It is also heavy and requires two or three adults to move. After a long wait, the other firecrackers were finally finished. Thats the beginning! "Knock! Pa! Bam! Pa! Bam! Pa! ...... "The voice was so loud that it was like a loud thunderclap of thunder.

Although I covered my ears, when the sound was too loud, I could hear it. In the last few rounds, "bam! Bam! Bam! Pa! Wow! The explosion of firework, like a flame, scattered all around. It was a magnificent sight! When I got home, my heart was still very long. Who will clean it up? Of course its my aunt and uncle. In order to make nanjing more beautiful, they would sacrifice the time of the New Year, to be honest, meticulous, meticulous and selfless. And are now on duty of the polices uncle aunts, they in order to make the safety of the citizens have a year, in every corner of the city of nanjing, dedicated to patrol the, thought of here, I entered the beautiful dreams...

春节是我国传统节日之一。在年30这天，小朋友们要给长辈拜年，拿红包；人们要和亲人团聚，吃年夜饭；更要在家，一边看“春节联欢晚会”，一边守岁；等到凌晨12点，家外，窗边，楼下，鞭炮声震耳欲聋，人们放着鞭炮，完全沉醉在春节这欢乐的节日中。

我是在婆婆家过的春节。晚上，我照旧在看“春节联欢晚会”，当离12点越来越近时，主持人进行倒计时“10，9，8……3，2，1。”随着数字的接近，声音越来越缓慢，一直延续着，直到12点。当倒计时数完时，我们家热闹起来了了！妈妈高兴的喊道：“过年啦！过年啦！你又长大了一岁。”接着，我们一家下楼放烟火。前几天，舅舅买了许多鞭炮。有地陀螺，有小蜜蜂，有夜明珠，有天地响，还有许多叫不上名字的。鞭炮的样子也有许多。花脸，蝴蝶……有的天地响20发，有的天地响50发，还有的天地响100发。在这么多的鞭炮中，最引人注目的要数一种天地响。它的个头同一个小桌子差不多。能供四五个人吃饭。它的重量也很重，需要两三个成年人才能搬动。等了好久，终于把其他鞭炮放完了。当头好戏开始了！“嘭！啪！嘭！啪！嘭！啪！……”这声音惊天动地，好似雷公公发怒的巨响。

我虽然捂住了耳朵，当声音实在是太大，还是能听见。到了最后几发，“嘭！嘭！嘭！啪！哗哗哗哗哗！！”炸开的烟花如火焰一般向四周散去，那情景非常壮观！回到家，我的心仍然久久不能平静。谁来清理呢？当然是清洁工叔叔阿姨了。他们为了让南京更加美丽，不惜牺牲过年的时间，认认真真、仔仔细细、一丝不苟、无私奉献地打扫。还有，现在正值班的警察叔叔阿姨们，他们为了让市民们安全的过个年，在南京市的每一个角落，兢兢业业地巡逻着，想到这里，我进入了美丽的梦乡……

The Spring Festival, is one of the most lively year in our country, is also one of the most important festival. Pair of early, the street "exhibition", "fu" character, paper-cut, candy and other necessities brought me a little bit "hit".

From the twelfth people officer "eat sesame seed candy, we began to prepare for the holiday. One day, the family sat together and our children admire always wanted to taste sweet and crisp of the sesame seed candy. But total want to wait for grandma go to the kitchen god worship a turn, to eat yo. It is said that in this way can the kitchen god god say good thing.

December 24, families and house. Mother to clean up the house early dry static, this is for the New Year has a new look. After twenty-four people busy to kill the fish, gizzard meat, steamed buns, for necessities.

Whenever the twenty-nine, families have to go shopping to buy Spring Festival couplets, have turned themselves shop flick spring paper splash-ink, will decorate a new house in the portal. Also treats the Spring Festival couplets, couplet, subsidiary, etc. It neatly, dual, concise and delicate words to describe time background, express good wishes, is a unique literature form in China. Spring Festival couplets real popularity began in the Ming dynasty, is associated with the advocating of zhu yuanzhang. Zhu yuanzhang one year to prepare for the holiday, ordered to stick a spring couplets, every door. The original Spring Festival couplet inscribed in the peach wood, then rewrite on the paper. Peach color is red, red is lucky, ward off evil spirits, so most Spring Festival couplets written on red paper.

In the year, to break out of firecrackers decorated festive atmosphere more strong. After lunch, set out a delicious meat, the family was package dumplings, gay men rolling skin, kids when transport, mothers are responsible for making dumplings. Grandma put COINS into the dumplings, to see who is the most blessing. When plates of belly belly of dumplings at the table, you find your satisfied dumplings, mouth bite, hope I can walk good luck. Finally, the dumplings with blessing or eaten by dad.

New Years eve, every household to eat dumplings, we eat dinner early and watch the Spring Festival gala, in front of the TV is "shou sui".

The first to people these days, is our children the best time to "money". Every day is not stay at home, grandpa is in grandmother home, in the words of my mother, is "not home all day," but we still go and jolly.

February, we this New Year to the "dragon head" ended. Although puyang is not big, but it also like many big cities, busy celebrating the Spring Festival, allison stayed put it off again.

春节，是我国一年当中最热闹，也是最重要的一个节日。早早的，街上“展览”的对子、“福”字、窗花、糖果等年货给我带来了一丝丝“年味”。

从腊月二十三“祭灶官”吃芝麻糖开始，大家就开始准备过年了。这天，一家人围坐在一起，我们小孩馋的总想先尝尝又酥又甜的芝麻糖。可是总要等到奶奶先到厨房的灶王爷前祭祀一翻，才能吃到哟。据说，这样灶王爷才能上天言好事。

腊月二十四，家家户户扫房子。妈妈要早早的把屋子收拾干静，这是为了新年有一个新气象。过了二十四大人们忙着杀鱼、肫肉、蒸花馍，准备年货。

每当二十九，家家户户都纷纷上街购买春联，有雅兴者自己也铺纸泼墨挥春，将宅子里里外外的门户装点一新。春联也叫门对、对联、对子等。它以工整、对偶、简洁、精巧的文字描绘时代背景，抒发美好愿望，是中国特有的文学形式。春联真正普及始于明代，与朱元璋的提倡有关。有一年朱元璋准备过年时，下令每家门上都要贴一副春联，以示庆贺。原来春联题写在桃木板上，后来改写在纸上。桃木的颜色是红的，红色有吉祥，避邪的意思，因此春联大都用红纸书写。

到了大年三十，此起彼伏的鞭炮声把节日的气氛装点的更加浓厚。吃过午饭后，端出香喷喷的肉馅，一家人就包起了饺子，男同志擀皮、小孩们当运输员，妈妈们就负责制作精美的水饺。奶奶还要在饺子里放进硬币，看谁最有福气。当一盘盘挺着肚子的水饺端上桌时，大家找到自己满意的饺子，张口就咬，希望自己能走好运。最后，那个带有福气的饺子还是被爸爸吃掉了。

除夕，家家户户吃的都是饺子，我们早早的吃晚饭，守在电视前看春晚，也是“守岁”。

初一到初六这几天，就是我们小孩子“挣钱”的最好时机。天天不是呆在爷爷家，就是泡在姥姥家，用妈妈的话说，就是“整天不着家”，但我们仍然乐呵呵的东跑西窜。

我们这的春节一般到“二月二，龙抬头”的时候才告一段落。虽然濮阳不算大城市，但是它也与许多大城市一样，热热闹闹的迎来春节，又热热闹闹的把它送走。

春节一般指正月初一，是一年的第一天，又叫阴历年，俗称“过年”;但在民间，传统意义上的春节是指从腊月的腊祭或腊月二十三或二十四的祭灶，一直到正月十九，其中以除夕和正月初一为高潮。在春节期间，中国的汉族和一些少数民族都要举行各种活动以示庆祝。

圣诞节(Christmas)又称耶诞节，译名为“基督弥撒”，西方传统节日，在每年12月25日。弥撒是教会的一种礼拜仪式。圣诞节是一个宗教节，因为把它当作耶稣的诞辰来庆祝，故名“耶诞节”。

大部分的天主教教堂都会先在24日的平安夜，亦即12月25日凌晨举行子夜弥撒，而一些基督教会则会举行报佳音，然后在12月25日庆祝圣诞节;基督教的另一大分支——东正教的圣诞节庆则在每年的1月7日。

圣诞节也是西方世界以及其他很多地区的公共假日，例如：在亚洲的香港、澳门、马来西亚和新加坡。圣经实际上并无记载耶稣诞生日期，圣诞节是后人公定的。

a month before. With the lunar New Year approaching, the red lanterns are hung

up along the main streets, making the ancient town filled with the festival

atmosphere. While people clean up their houses, decorate it with traditional

The first five days after the Spring Festival are a good time for relatives, friends, and classmates as well as colleagues to exchange greetings, gifts and chat leisurely.

Burning fireworks was once the most typical custom on the Spring Festival. People thought the spluttering sound could help drive away evil spirits. However, such an activity was completely or partially forbidden in big cities once the government took security, noise and pollution factors into consideration. As a replacement, some buy tapes with firecracker sounds to listen to, some break little balloons to get the sound too, while others buy firecracker handicrafts to hang in the living room.

The lively atmosphere not only fills every household, but permeates to streets and lanes. A series of activities such as lion dancing, dragon lantern dancing, lantern festivals and temple fairs will be held for days. The Spring Festival then comes to an end when the Lantern Festival is finished.

春节到了，家家户户喜气洋洋，团团圆圆。春节有许多习俗，比如：贴春联，放鞭炮，吃饺子等等。让我们一起来了解了解它们吧!

贴门神这是几乎家家户户过年都要做的，关于贴门神还有一段有趣的神话传说：相传在古时候，有位龙王总想偷吃玉帝的贡品，玉帝发现后狠狠地惩罚了它，可龙王依然屡教不改，于是，玉帝让两位身强力壮的天神看守大门，不让龙王再来捣乱。可是两位天神和我们一样要睡觉休息。于是玉帝想了一个好办法，把两位天神的画像贴在门上，从此贴门神的习俗就这样代代流传。

在我国的北方有一种习俗，就是吃饺子，饺子的谐音即“交子”，表达了人们对更岁交子，对新的一年吉祥富裕的一种渴望。而南方人则喜欢在大年的早晨吃汤圆，意味着我们在新的一年里圆圆满满，团团圆圆。人们还喜欢把一种叫“荠菜”的蔬菜和汤圆一块吃，“荠菜”有被称作“聚财”意喻在新的一年招财进宝，心想事成。

春节里，我们更少不了要放鞭炮来活跃一下春节时欢欢喜喜的气氛了。放鞭炮在民间还有一个传说：相传在远古的时侯，有一只叫“年”的怪兽，每到春节的时候就出来吓唬人，于是人们就想了个办法，用竹筒点燃扔向它，竹筒爆炸后发出很大的声响，吓走了年兽，放鞭炮的习俗就这样流传下来了。

春节的习俗还有很多很多，它丰富了我们的知识，拉近了人们的距离。它是中华名族的优良传统，让我们一起去了解它们吧!

春节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，俗称“过年”、“新年”。春节的历史很悠久，它来历于殷商时期年头岁尾的祭神祭祖活动。按照我国农历，正月 初一古称元日、元辰、元正、元朔、元旦等，俗称年初一，到民国时期，改用公历，公历的一月一日称为元旦，把农历的一月一日叫春节。

The long history of the Spring Festival, which originated in the Shang period the year draws to a close servicemen and the memorial activities.

在中国,凡逢春节和其他的喜庆日子,人们总要燃放爆竹来表示庆贺.燃放爆竹可以说是中国民间一个十分重要的风俗习惯.

爆竹也叫"炮竹","爆仗","炮仗",平常人们更习惯叫"鞭炮",有大约2000多年的历史了.最早的爆竹叫"庭燎".是用竹竿一类的东西做成火炬,燃烧时发出噼噼啪啪的爆裂声,也叫"爆竿.

燃放爆竹风俗最早起因于驱鬼除邪,祈求一年的吉祥顺利.传说,有个叫做"山臊"的四角怪兽和恶鬼平常藏在深山,每隔365天便出来伤害人畜.这些无恶不做的坏东西害怕爆炸的声音和亮光.于是,每到岁末年首,人们就争着燃放鞭炮,用来驱赶"山臊"和恶鬼.

中国的唐代发明火药以后,人们便把火药放进竹筒,点燃后发出巨大的声音,这种爆竹叫做"爆竹筒".到了宋代,爆竹的制作方法改为把火药装进用纸卷成的筒里,名字也叫爆竹了.后来人们开始把许多小的炮仗用药线连接起来,成为"一发连百余响不绝"的鞭炮.讲究的鞭炮用红颜色的纸制作,鞭炮爆炸后,红屑满地,人称"满地红",表示吉利.随着发展,鞭炮的品种和色彩也由原来的单调发展得丰富多彩,有小鞭炮,电光雷,母子雷,射天炮,百头,千头鞭,甚至还有几万头长的鞭炮.

现在,随着人们环保意识的加强,燃放鞭炮的习俗在中国很多大城市中受到禁止.但是,聪明的中国人依然想出了其他热闹的庆祝节日的办法.

I feel so happy to hear that you are interested in the Chinese spring festival, which is one most important symbol of Chinese culture. With my great honor, I am here sharing my knowledge about it with you.

The spring festival, also called Chinese New Year, enjoys a long history of over 4,000 years. Unlike other festivals, the Spring festival is a period of time, rather than a single day. It starts from the first day of a new year and ends on January 15th, , of course in the Chinese lunar calendar. But people usually start to celebrate the Spring Festival on the day before the New Years Day, which is called "New Years Eve", when all members of a family get together, have a big meal together(called Nian Ye Fan in Chinese) and watch the Spring Festival gala, indulged in the especially warm and sweet atmosphere of reunion.

There are a variety of activities during the Spring festival, among which at least three deserve your special attention. First, when the new years first bell rings out the old year and rings in the new, adults and children get out of the houses and light crackers and fireworks, which decorates the sky into a colorful and magnificent stage.

Then, on the morning of the New Years Day, people get up very early to stick couplets, on which all good wished are presented. Meanwhile, the red color of the couplets adds much to the joy of the splendid festival.

In addition, we have to visit our relatives from door to door as of the first day of the Spring Festival until the Lantern Festival, which is supposed to be a conclusion of the whole Spring Festival.

Kim, the short letter here surely fails me to give you a complete account of our Spring Festival. I sincerely hope, if possible, that you can come here in China to have a real experience about it.

Best wishes!

Yours,

Li Hua

你好!

听说你对中国的春节很感兴趣，我很高兴。春节是中国文化中最重要的一个象征。这里，我很荣幸地与你分享一些我对春节所了解的知识。

春节，也叫作中国新年，有着超过4000多年的历史。与其他的节日不同，春节是一个时间段，而不是指单独某一天。它是从一月的第一天一直到十五日，当然是按照中国的农历。但是人们通常都从大年初一前一天就开始庆祝春节，这一天也叫除夕，一大家人会团聚起来，吃个大餐(我们中国人管它叫年夜饭)，看春晚，沉浸在家人团聚的特殊温馨的氛围之中。

春节里有很多的活动，其中至少有三样事情值得你关注。首先，当新年的第一次钟声响起，一个辞旧迎新的时刻到来了，大人和小孩都会到室外去放鞭炮，放烟花，把整个天空装扮成了一个五彩缤纷的大舞台。

然后，在大年初一的早上，人们都很早起来贴春联。春联上写满了吉祥的话语。同时，春联的红色也为这个绚丽的节日增添了不少的欢乐。

还有，从年初一开始我们都要挨家挨户去拜访亲戚，一直到元宵节。元宵节的到来就意味着春节的结束。

金，短短的信件中我没法向你很详尽地描述好我们的春节。如果可能的话，我真心希望你能来中国好好的体验一下。

致敬

今天阳光明媚，外公把腊肉放到阳台去晒。我问外公：“为何把腊肉放到阳台上晒呀？”外公说：“因为今天是春节了呀！”要过年了！我差点叫出声来。“我最喜欢春节了！”我激动得欣喜若狂地大叫。

一大早，我就起床吃饭，因为今天是春节嘛。吃完饭，我和外公、爸爸把大红春联贴在了门上，春联红红火火的真是喜庆。接着，大外婆、小姨、姨夫等好多人都来了，我们一边聊天一边吃喜糖。在聊天的时候很多人都说我和表弟长大了，长高了，更乖巧懂事了。我听了，心里甜滋滋的。

不一会儿就到了拜年大红包的时候了，我和表弟纷纷给大人们拜年，拜年的时候要说：“恭喜发财，红包拿来。”然后，大人们就会把红包给我们。

最后，就是我最喜欢的环节了——吃年夜饭！外婆上菜了喽！我口水直流。哇！有我最爱的红烧肉、排骨汤、大猪腿、炸鸡翅膀……我和几个小朋友实在忍不住了，连忙把肉往嘴里送。这个感觉别提有多开心了。

吃过年夜饭，我们就开始看春晚，吃夜宵一直守岁到晚上十二点呢。

今年羊年春节真是开心。

Dear John,

How time flies! Four moths have passed since we saw each other last time. I cannot help but miss you. You asked me about Chinese Spring Festival. Now I would like to tell you something about it。

The Spring Festival is a Chinese traditional festival. It is the most important and enjoyable one. A few days before the festival, houses are cleaned and red couplets are put up on the doors of every household. They are said to frighten away the ghosts. On that day, people are dressed up. Firecrackers ring out in the air, which adds to the atmosphere of the festival. People after a year’s hard work begin to relax and visit one another. Presents and dinners are given to celebrate the happy reunionof friends and relatives. Families get together. They have jiaozi and enjoy the New Year TV show. Customs may vary from place to place, but the same happy atmosphere is to be found everywhere in the country。

Now, I hope you have some idea of Chinese Spring Festival。

Best wishes,

Yours,

Li Hua
