虎年的春节，是一个非常有意义的节日，我们大家都很喜欢这个节日的来临。如：我们是小孩子嘛，喜欢在春节的时候放松一下，还喜欢穿着新衣服去别人家作客。那么大人们呢，当然也喜欢过这个有意义的春节了，因为大人们都忙碌了一年，辛苦了一年，所以趁过年了，可以在家里打打牌轻松一下，这是多么难得的机会啊！

除夕的晚上，我们一家人在爷爷家吃团圆饭，在餐桌上，有我最喜欢吃的糖醋排骨和八宝菜，晚饭吃完以后，我们一家人坐在电视机前看春节联欢晚会，可热闹了！在春节联欢晚会上，我看见了不可思议的魔法师刘谦在为观众们表演节目，还有很多精彩的表演，我们看到了精彩的表演以后，脸上露出了喜悦的笑容。

到了春节的第一天，我们就穿着新的衣服，去给爷爷拜年，拜好以后我们就一起去了坟山，给奶奶拜一个早年，让奶奶保佑我们身体健康。弄好以后，我们就准备回家了。到家以后，我们闲着没事干，就让爸爸给我们搭雪桥，爸爸搭了半个钟头就把雪桥搭好了，我是第一个试验品，踩上去以后，一踩就塌了，把我摔了一个大跟头。围观的人就哈哈大笑。如果是他们摔跤的话，我一定会比他们笑得声音更大。

初二的早晨，我就把烧好的稀饭端过去给爷爷吃，爷爷吃了我烧的稀饭以后，笑得乐陶陶，连嘴都闭不起来了，接着我就把爷爷吃过的饭碗洗干净。后来爷爷家里作客的人越来越多，爷爷家里一下子从冷清变成了热闹，我就扶着爷爷去里面看戏剧。并且还和爷爷开起玩笑来了……

从初二到初四，爷爷的家里就一直是热闹的，到了晚上的时候。我就会和姐姐们一起去小店里买烟火，买好以后就拿到爷爷家门口去放，噼里啪啦，噼里啪啦，可高兴了，可是大人们听得烦死啦，好像耳朵会聋一样，被大人们训斥了一顿以后，我们就垂头丧气，感觉在春节里连烟花都放不来的话，那么这个春节还有什么意义啊！接着，沈洁姐姐提出了一个建议，说：“要不我们去柯桥玩吧？”我们几个连声答应，好啊！好啊！说到了去玩，我们几个都是很乐意的……我想，我不用说你们也应该知道柯桥是一个多姿多彩的地方吧。

春节，是一个令人开心的日子，我想，如果时间可以倒流，再回到过春节的那段时间，那该有多好啊！

人们都知道，春节要放鞭炮，贴对联。你知道这个习俗是怎么来的吗?让我来告诉你吧。传说中有一个怪兽——年，常常在大年初一来骚扰人们过春节，于是，村里的人们就会到深山去躲避那个怪兽——年。

第二个春节到了，人们都跑往深山去躲避年。正在这个时候，一位白发苍苍的老爷爷挡住了跑往深山的人们，说道：“大家不要慌!我知道怎么挡住年。”人们不相信，更加快速地跳往深山。

到了晚上，年来了。老爷爷从房间里拿出一串鞭炮，在身上披了一块红布，就跑出了房间。

到了房门口，鞭炮霹雳啪啦地响，红布在风中飘动，年顿时不敢往前走了，转头就跑。人们欢呼着跑下山，称赞老爷爷很聪明。

哦!原来年怕声音和红色。所以，人们过年都要放鞭炮，贴对联。

The Spring Festival is a major festival for Chinese people. It has a long history and a splendid cultural background. And many small rules and little superstitions of the Spring Festival are the same.

Everyone should know that one thing is very important, for the spring festival. Lets not look down on this matter. For example, the fruit is not so careless, not all the fruits are suitable for the ancestors and gods. Choose a good fruit. For example: apple, orange, kumquat in peace, full house, orange, xinxiangshicheng. Like pears, not as a tribute because some people think pear and "leave" is the word homonym. So its not welcome. And its Bananas - a lot of trouble. So some fruit is not available.

There is only a part of fruit dumplings as a tribute tribute must not put in pairs of. As for the sugar tribute to put candy not fudge. Because the sweetness is hard enough.

For even one candle, incense, and so on, but the most important is the paper, paper to be really money before they can burn, but also a main pressure, which could be felt more sincere.

Whether it is true or false, but at least it is the reason why we must have our ancestors talked about. I hope that these Spring Festival common sense can let more and more post - 80s, and the post-90s know how important the Spring Festival is in the eyes of our Chinese people. If the Spring Festival does not have any taboos, it will mean that not so many people pay attention to it. The more rules, the more the significance of the Spring Festival.

New Year Party

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。"

December 30, the first day to the fifteenth day of the day is the Spring Festival. The Spring Festival, there are many folk customs, such as New Year, setting off firecrackers, get lucky money...

The origin of the Spring Festival because of a story. On New Years day, there was a monster called in to cause disturbance in the village. Years of appearance is very fierce. At this moment, there are an old man went into the village. Old lady hurriedly escape nien persuaded him to go to the mountain, but the old man slowly said: "if you let me stay overnight in the home, I will drive away the years." Years and came into the village, in the middle of the night, and found the old woman home with red couplets, startled. All of a sudden, the yard came the villagers firecrackers, years frighten ran. The villagers go back to the village, they saw there safe and sound, old woman to the villagers about all this. Years after being away on that day, never appear. The villagers live a life to live and work in peace and contentment.

From then on, people set off firecrackers every year the Spring Festival, paste couplets...

十二月三十，正月初一到正月十五是春节。春节有许多民俗，比如拜年、放鞭炮、拿压岁钱……

春节的来历是因为一个故事。除夕节那天，有个叫年的怪兽来村里捣乱。年的样子很凶猛。这时，有一位老人走进了村子。老婆婆连忙劝他赶紧去山上躲避年兽，可是老人却不紧不慢地说：“你若让我在家呆一夜，我一定会把年赶走的。”半夜时分，年又闯进了村里，发现老婆婆家门口贴着红对联，年吓了一跳。突然，院子里传来了噼里啪啦的鞭炮声，年吓得拔腿就跑。村民们回到村里，看见里面安然无恙，老婆婆向村民们诉说了这一切。那天年被吓跑后，再也没有出现。村民们过着安居乐业的生活。

从此，人们每年春节都要放鞭炮，贴对联……

春节习俗英语作文- 用英语介绍春节习俗：

Chinese New Year or Spring Festival is the most important of the traditional Chinese holidays. It is sometimes called the "Lunar New Year" by English speakers. The festival traditionally begins on the first day of the first month (Chinese: 正月; pinyin: zhēng yuè) in the Chinese calendar and ends on the 15th; this day is called Lantern Festival. Chinese New Years Eve is known as chú xī. It literally means "Year-pass Eve".

Chinese New Year is the longest and most important festivity in the Lunar Calendar. The origin of Chinese New Year is itself centuries old and gains significance because of several myths and traditions. Ancient Chinese New Year is a reflection on how the people behaved and what they believed in the most.

Celebrated in areas with large populations of ethnic Chinese, Chinese New Year is considered a major holiday for the Chinese and has had influence on the new year celebrations of its geographic neighbors, as well as cultures with whom the Chinese have had extensive interaction. These include Koreans (Seollal), Tibetans and Bhutanese (Losar), Mongolians (Tsagaan Sar), Vietnamese (T?t), and formerly the Japanese before 1873 (Oshogatsu). Outside of Mainland China, Hong Kong, Macau, and Taiwan, Chinese New Year is also celebrated in countries with significant Han Chinese populations, such as Singapore, Indonesia, Laos, Malaysia, the Philippines, and Thailand. In countries such as Australia, Canada and the United States, although Chinese New Year is not an official holiday, many ethnic Chinese hold large celebrations and Australia Post, Canada Post, and the US Postal Service issues New Years themed stamps.

Within China, regional customs and traditions concerning the celebration of the Chinese new year vary widely. People will pour out their money to buy presents, decoration, material, food, and clothing. It is also the tradition that every family thoroughly cleans the house to sweep away any ill-fortune in hopes to make way for good incoming luck. Windows and doors will be decorated with red colour paper-cuts and couplets with popular themes of “happiness”, “wealth”, and “longevity”. On the Eve of Chinese New Year, supper is a feast with families. Food will include such items as pigs, ducks, chicken and sweet delicacies. The family will end the night with firecrackers. Early the next morning, children will greet their parents by wishing them a healthy and happy new year, and receive money in red paper envelopes. The Chinese New Year tradition is a great way to reconcile forgetting all grudges, and sincerely wish peace and happiness for everyone.

Although the Chinese calendar traditionally does not use continuously numbered years, outside China its years are often numbered from the reign of Huangdi. But at least three different years numbered 1 are now used by various scholars, making the year 2009 "Chinese Year" 4707, 4706, or 4646.

The Chinese New Year celebrations are marked by visits to kin, relatives and friends, a practice known as "new-year visits" (Chinese: 拜年; pinyin: bài nián).

On the days before the New Year celebration Chinese families give their home a thorough cleaning. There is a Cantonese saying "Wash away the dirt on ninyabaat" (年廿八，洗邋遢), but the practice is not usually restricted on ninyabaat (年廿八, the 28th day of month 12). It is believed the cleaning sweeps away the bad luck of the preceding year and makes their homes ready for good luck. Brooms and dust pans are put away on the first day so that luck cannot be swept away. Some people give their homes, doors and window-frames a new coat of red paint. homes are often decorated with paper cutouts of Chinese auspicious phrases and couplets. Purchasing new clothing, shoes, and receiving a hair-cut also symbolize a fresh start.

In many households where Buddhism or Taoism is prevalent, home altars and statues are cleaned thoroughly, and altars that were adorned with decorations from the previous year are also taken down and burned a week before the new year starts, and replaced with new decorations. Taoists (and Buddhists to a lesser extent) will also "send gods" (送神), an example would be burning a paper effigy of Zao Jun the Kitchen God, the recorder of family functions. This is done so that the Kitchen God can report to the Jade Emperor of the family households transgressions and good deeds. Families often offer sweet foods (such as candy) in order to "bribe" the deities into reporting good things about the family.

The biggest event of any Chinese New Years Eve is the dinner every family will have. A dish consisting of fish will appear on the tables of Chinese families. It is for display for the New Years Eve dinner. This meal is comparable to Christmas dinner in the West. In northern China, it is customary to make dumplings (jiaozi 饺子) after dinner and have it around midnight. Dumplings symbolize wealth because their shape is like a Chinese tael.
