春节，中国人最重要的节日。是中国最盛大、最热闹、最重要的一个古老传统节日，也是中国人所独有的节日。

节，是农历的岁首，春节的另一名称叫过年，是中国最盛大、最热闹、最重要的一个古老传统节日，也是中国人所独有的节日。是中华文明最集中的表现。自西汉以来，春节的习俗一直延续到今天。春节一般指除夕和正月初一。但在民间，传统意义上的春节是指从腊月初八的腊祭或腊月二十三或二十四的祭灶，一直到正月十五，其中以除夕和正月初一为高潮。如何过庆贺这个节日，在千百年的历史发展中，形成了一些较为固定的风俗习惯，有许多还相传至今。在春节这一传统节日期间，我国的汉族和大多数少数民族都有要举行各种庆祝活动，这些活动大多以祭祀神佛、祭奠祖先、除旧布新、迎禧接福、祈求丰年为主要内容。活动形式丰富多彩，带有浓郁的民族特色。2006年5月20日，“春节”民俗经国务院批准列入第一批国家级非物质文化遗产名录。

春节的来历有一种传说，中国古时候有一种叫“年”的怪兽，头长触角，凶猛异常。“年”长年深居海底，每到除夕才爬上岸，吞食牲畜伤害人命。因此，每到除夕这天，村村寨寨的人们扶老携幼逃往深山，以躲避“年”兽的伤害。有一年除夕，从村外来了个乞讨的老人。乡亲们一片匆忙恐慌景象，只有村东头一位老婆婆给了老人些食物，并劝他快上山躲避“年”兽，那老人捋髯笑道：“婆婆若让我在家呆一夜，我一定把‘年’兽撵走。”老婆婆仍然继续劝说，乞讨老人笑而不语。 半夜时分，“年”兽闯进村。它发现村里气氛与往年不同：村东头老婆婆家，门贴大红纸，屋内烛火通明。“年”兽浑身一抖，怪叫了一声。将近门口时，院内突然传来“砰砰啪啪”的炸响声，“年”浑身战栗，再不敢往前凑了。原来，“年”最怕红色、火光和炸响。这时，婆婆的家门大开，只见院内一位身披红袍的老人在哈哈大笑。“年”大惊失色，狼狈逃蹿了。第二天是正月初一，避难回来的人们见村里安然无恙十分惊奇。这时，老婆婆才恍然大悟，赶忙向乡亲们述说了乞讨老人的许诺。这件事很快在周围村里传开了，人们都知道了驱赶“年”兽的办法。(客家人的传说)从此每年除夕，家家贴红对联、燃放爆竹;户户烛火通明、守更待岁。初一一大早，还要走亲串友道喜问好。这风俗越传越广，成了中国民间最隆重的传统节日。

my plan of next year

A Happy New Year ，a new start，when I stand on the edge of a Happy New Year，I cant help thinking about my plan of next year.

Just as the old saying：“Well began is the half of the success.”So I decide that I should be at work while the others are still relaxing ，and then ，at the beginning ，Im quicker than the others and of course I will get better result than the others.

But ，what I really decide to do is that I must make good of anytime I can spare though it seems impossible. While，I will do my best to live up with what I have planned，and the result will prove it.

will christmas replace the spring festival?

christmas arouses increasing attention year by year in china. christmas cards become 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 welcome the beginning of a new year. and we will treasure the spring festival forever.

on new years eve，our class had a party. the atmosphere was good. it was out of the ordinary from the very begining. the boy student from one bedroom gave an unusual performance. we saw a boy named li xinmin turn off all the lights in a sudden snap. then with three resounding(响亮的) crow of a cock echoing in the hall，the hall was again brightly lit in a snap.

then，the representative of the bedroom zhu guozhang asked us to guess a line of a poem related to the above situation. he added that li xinmin alone was born in the year of the dog and the other three were all born in the year of the chicken. they left us all in confusion. and it was our monitor who was quickwitted(机智的). he shouted our， "the day breaks as the cock crows three times at dawn." the hall after that，they had another item. this time li xinmin was placed in the middle of the circle. while he was standing there，the other three stood around him，each bowing down to him at an angle of 120 degrees. it was an idiom. this time i got it right："the dog stands out among a group of chickens."

When you ask the people around you, what is the most important festival in China, I think ninety-nine percent will say the same answer, that is the Spring Festival. About the origin of the Spring Festival, there is a old story. One is called "year" beast, will attack people from time to time. To ward off beasts years, people have to the last day of the old set off firecrackers and pasted red paper on the front door and window. Fortunately, the year for fear of the sound of firecrackers, and red stickers, dare not to come again. In order to commemorate the day, our ancestors put on the first day of the lunar New Year as the "Spring Festival".

During the Spring Festival, all the family members gather together for dinner on New Years eve night. Apple, fish, noodles, dumplings, pork, chicken, candy is an essential part of the table. "Fish" represents "more than" year after year; "Apple" herald "do things go in peace, the smooth". "Noodles" said "healthy life", as for the other, said will you have a good luck in the New Year.

The most happy children is the Spring Festival. Not only because they are more than a lot of friend, they can also get a red envelope. A red envelope, they can do anything you want to do: set off firecrackers, buy new clothes, buy everything you want. The best place for children, this is the Spring Festival, isnt it?

Not only means the beginning of the New Year the Spring Festival, is also carrying people wish for New Year. We hope the New Year wish will come true, life for the better. Anyway, the Spring Festival is the most meaningful family reunion, we spent together with family, this is the whole of the Spring Festival.

当你问周围的人，什么是中国最重要的节日，我想百分之九十九的人会说出同一个答案，那就是春节。关于春节的由来，还有个古老的故事。一个叫“年”的猛兽，会时不时的袭击人们。为了赶跑猛兽年，人们不得不在旧年的最后一天放鞭炮，在正门和窗户上贴上红纸。幸运的是，年因为害怕鞭炮的响声和红色的贴纸，不敢再来了。为了纪念这一天，我们的老祖宗把新年农历的第一天定为“春节”。

在春节期间，所有的家庭成员都在除夕的晚上会聚集在一起吃年夜饭。鱼、苹果、面条、饺子、猪肉、鸡肉、糖果是餐桌上必不可少的。“鱼”代表着“年年有余”;“苹果”预示着“做事情平平安安，顺顺利利”;“面条”表示“健康长寿”，至于其他的，表示新年会甜甜蜜蜜有好运气。

小孩子是春节中最高兴的。不仅仅是因为他们多了很多小伙伴，他们还能拿到红包。有了红包，他们可以做任何想做的事情：放鞭炮，买新衣服，买一切想要的东西。对小孩子来说，这就是春节最好的地方了，难道不是吗?

春节不仅仅意味着新年的开始，也承载着人们对新年的祝愿。我们希望新的一年愿望会实现，生活变得更好。不管怎么样，春节最有意义的就是阖家团圆，我们与家人一起度过，这就是春节的全部。

It was the Eve of the Spring Festival.

Dusk was just falling as I slurped up the last bit of rice and laid down my chopsticks.

“Theyre starting!” cried my friend excitedly. “Quick! Quick!”

Outside, children were running everywhere. Their happy voices and faces made me warm inside, despite the cold wind that greeted me. My friend thrust a bundle of straw in my hands. “Come!” he cried. I giggled as I ran to catch up to him; the childrens excitement was a fever that spread to even the big kids like us.

I soon joined a rowdy bunch of children and teenagers who were building a bonfire in the middle of a path that ran through the wheat fields. “Here,”said my friend, handing me a long bamboo pole. “Put some of your straw in the fire. Then tie the rest onto your pole like this.” He demonstrated with his own materials, and I followed his example. Then he thrust both our torches into the fire and handed me mine. “Now run!”

And run I did----we all did. For miles and miles around, as far as I could see, there were small orange specks scattered about, and I could hear the distant screaming and laughing of other children running up and down the rice field path. For several hours into the night I helped build fires and keep an eye on the younger children. Occasionally I, too, lit a torch and ran around like a mad man, screaming and waving a flaming bamboo pole.

This festival, which occurred six days before Chinese New Year, was just one of the experiences during the visit to my friends over the Spring Festival. As it was explained to me, the purpose behind this festival was to allow the children to have fun burning up all the straw leftover after the harvest. Later, the ash is used for fertilizer.

I have experienced a lot of interesting things in this winter holiday, and the most interesting of them is the Spring Festival.

In the evening of February 17th, aunt and uncle went to our home and spent the Spring Festival with my family. My aunt and aunt came here, and I went up to them to greet them. I smiled and said, "wish aunt and uncle a happy new year." "I wish you a happy new year and good academic progress." Then, the aunt from her bag and took out a big red envelopes for me, I opened one, wow, there are 1000 yuan!

I took the money carefully into the red bag, held the red bag in my hand, and flew into the room and put it in the drawer. Time to eat, everyone excited to come to the dinner table, dinner can be really big ah! There is Eight Delicacies Rice, Double cooked pork slices, fried octopus, ten dishes, all my love, I see slobber to flow out. Everyone sat on the seat and began to eat after each others blessing. The meal was finished, I was full of food and full, and the belly drum was like a big ball.

Its eight oclock. Lets watch the Spring Festival party together. The Spring Festival Gala programs can be really wonderful ah, there are humorous sketches, beautiful dance, songs of various exquisite beyond compare, everybody clap. I love comedy starring Zhao Benshan "plan", it is very interesting, I laugh all stomach pain, their mother is laughing. The Spring Festival evening finished, we went to the outside put firecrackers, firecrackers have all kinds of types of Mantianhong, cupola, the lamp...... The number is not over.

My father got a cigarette, pointing to a string of firecrackers and said to me: "come, you go to that point." I took the cigarette, slowly walked to the string of firecrackers, put the cigarette head to lead to "burn!" I screamed and ran as fast as a rabbit hid behind my mother. Snapping me tight over his ears, eyes closed. Pau finished everyone see me, laugh, I also smiled. I have a very happy Spring Festival this year, and I look forward to the early arrival of the Spring Festival next year. .

New Year is our favorite holiday for children, because the New Year can eat dinner not only, also can get lucky money. However, I am the most happy New Year this year is that the team activities, it let me once again feel happy to help others.

Just before the team activities of snow, snow removal, so we decided to help other peoples car has obtained the consent of the classmate mother, we began to action.

That day the weather is really cold, but we can not care so much. At this moment, our little captain contented heart surplus division began: "Tang Ninghang, you and rockfall plants, clean the front of the car, Xu Chen brush the top of the car and zhang John boehner, fei-yu Chen and I rubbed the back of the car!" Points well, we are happy to do your own thing and we wipe also while talking and laughing is very happy.

Look! Our captain tao heart surplus dry how much! She first hand the snow on the car together, put them to the ground, reoccupy finger inside your car clean snow. I want to: our captain so earnest, I should learn from her!

Rub the car well, finally the classmates mother saw we rub the car so clean, the credit we said: "wow! You are a bunch of helpful boy!" Although our hands and face was flushed with cold, but we dont feel a bit cold, but like to eat the honey as sweet in my heart,

If we start from around things, helpful, aged respected, then our society will become more beautiful!

新年是我们小孩子最喜欢的节日了，因为新年不仅能吃年夜饭，还能拿压岁钱。不过，今年新年里让我最开心的就是那次小队活动了，它让我又一次体会到了助人为乐的快乐。

那次小队活动前刚下了一场大雪，于是我们就决定帮别人的车子除雪，在征得了同学妈妈的同意后，我们就开始行动了。

那天天气真是冷极了，但我们可顾不了那么多。这时，我们的小队长陶心盈就开始分工了：“唐宁珩，你和石雨卉，擦车子的前面，徐晨和张博纳擦车子的上面，陈飞宇和我一起擦车子的后面!”分好了工，我们都开开心心的去做自己的事情，我们一边擦还一边说说笑笑，很是高兴。

瞧!我们的队长陶心盈干的多起劲啊!只见她先用手把车子上的雪堆到一起，把它们扔到地上去，再用手指把车子缝隙里的雪擦干净。我想：我们的队长那么认真，我也应该向她学习!

终于把车子擦好了，同学的妈妈看见我们把车子擦的这么干净，就表扬我们道：“哇!你们真是一群助人为乐的好孩子呀!”虽然我们的手和脸被冻得通红，但我们一点也不觉得冷，反而心里像吃了蜜一样甜，

我们如果从身边的小事做起，助人为乐，尊老爱幼，那么我们的社会将会变的更美好!

The first year of the year is a happy holiday for every child. Of course, I am no exception.

Today, my father and mother took me back to the countryside to go back to the country and come back to the countryside. New clothes are all wearing beautiful, a tight uncle home, hung around the festive decorations, so I hastened to di Ershen said: "I wish happy new year, uncle Ershen congratulation!" "Darling, give you a big red ershen." I took the red bag, the red bag full and full, I think: there must be a lot of money. My heart is like eating sugar.

After lunch, I went out to "make money". Walk, walk, gee, isnt that three aunts? So I walked up to the three aunts and said, "Happy New Year!" The three aunts listened, laughed and gave me a red bag, and I saw it so effective. Then, I repeat those actions... Well, at the time of dinner, I was tired of calling my mouth, but I saw my deep pocket, and my eyes were shining. Although there are so much money, but I will never waste a tiny bit. Suddenly, a burst of firecrackers disturbed my thoughts, the original is a group of friends in the small firecrackers, ah, I really miss the childhood friends together and jubilant firecrackers at ah, then, one day the whole week I happy to firecrackers, a time gone.

After dinner, both my parents and I went home, looking forward to the good tomorrow.

而且我们又长了一岁，那时候就更要懂事了，帮助他人，给亲戚拜年，他们都夸我懂事乖巧的女孩，当时心情是多么的好。

放爆竹是小朋友们最喜欢的，可是爆竹有时候很危险，要在家长的陪护下才能玩噢!小朋友千万不要独自放爆竹哦!

Waking up on New Year, everybody dresses up. First they extend greetings to

their parents. Then each child will get money as a New Year gift, wrapped up in

red paper. People in northern China will eat jiaozi, or dumplings, for

breakfast, as they think "jiaozi" in sound means "bidding farewell to the old

and ushering in the new". Also, the shape of the dumpling is like gold ingot

from ancient China. So people eat them and wish for money and treasure.

Southern Chinese eat niangao (New Year cake made of glutinous rice flour)

on this occasion, because as a homophone, niangao means "higher and higher, one

year after another." 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.

China has 56 ethnic groups. Minorities celebrate their Spring Festival

almost the same day as the Han people, and they have different customs.

the spring festival is very important to chinese people.

in the past, people could not often have meat, rice or other delicious food. they could only eat these during the spring festival. so every year they hoped that the spring festival would come soon. now, although people’s life is much better, and we can eat the delicious foods everyday. people still like the festival. because most people can have a long holiday, and we are free to go on a trip or visit our friends or have parties with our family. in the evenings, we can have a big meal in the restaurant or stay at home with family and watch the tv programmes.

i like the spring festival very much. how wonderful the spring festival is!

Dear John,

How time flies! Four moths have passed since we saw each other last time. I cannot helpbut miss you. You asked me about Chinese Spring Festival. Now I would like to tell yousomething 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 reunion of 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,

The Spring Festival, how memorable!

春节有很多让人高兴的事情。最让我高兴的就是我和弟弟去楼下放鞭炮。

记得大年三十的晚上，我们吃完团圆饭，我和弟弟像飞一样地跑了下去，到了小花园中，我就琢磨着怎样更好玩。终于，我们想出了一个好主意，弟弟用一根铁棒将土挖开，然后，我将一个点燃的“地雷”扔了进去，弟弟快速地把土埋上。然后，我们就躲到一棵大树后面，等我们还未完侍藏好，只听见后面“嘭!”的一声巨响，我和弟弟身上都有是泥，我们先是吓得一怔，然后被彼此的模样乐地“哈哈”大笑。就这样一次，两次，三次……，一直到我们手中的炮放完，而我们也变成“泥娃娃”了，才停下来。接着，我们又放了冲天炮，老鼠炮……。我们最喜欢的是老鼠炮，它飞出去的时候还“吱吱”地发出声响。就像是在说：“我要上天!我要上天?? 笨砂?痔云?

在新年的钟声就要敲响之际，黑暗的天空中开始到处燃放起了烟火，看那五彩缤纷的烟花在夜色中像一朵朵鲜花竞相绽放，我和弟弟都兴奋得在那里大喊大叫了起来……

春节，是孩子们玩的日子，还是大人们访亲探友的日子。妈妈带着我走东家、窜西家，与亲朋好友渡过了不少美好的时光。

春节，多么令人难忘啊!

春节是中国的传统节日，举国欢庆，万家团圆，共度美好佳节。

春节还没到，许多人都捺不住自己激动的心情放起炮来，那零零星星的“流星雨”，真美。

除夕之夜，我匆匆扒了几口饭便在家门口放起爆竹，点火，闪开，捂耳朵，只听一阵急速的嘶嘶声，接着一声"嘭”的声音，烟花在夜幕中画出一道银弧后炸开了，出一束耀眼的花火，旋转，放大，变形，一棵亮丽的圣诞树奇迹般的出现了。一串烟花腾空而起，如花绽放，天空明亮的如同昼夜一般。

邻里的孩子也吸引来了。他们一个个欢天喜地，举着小灯笼，像鱼儿般在人海中转来转去，吵吵闹闹。爆竹仿佛开着玩笑，趁我不注意，突然在我头上方炸响，我刚一抬头又喊又叫，好不快活。

天上烟花绚丽多彩，地上的孩子笑着眼开。
