中秋节的小学五年级描写日记

全文共 564 字

+ 加入清单

“海上生明月,天涯共此时。”我盼望已久的中秋佳节,终于来了。

中秋节是每年农历八月十五日,他最早源于古代帝王秋天祭月的礼制,正当秋高气爽的秋分时节,白天和晚上的时间一样长,月亮也正好受到太阳的直射,所以月亮明媚皎洁。于是,这一天逐渐成为人 们观赏月亮和思念家乡的民间传统节日。

人们还喜欢在中秋节这一天吃月饼,这种习俗源于元末明初:当时,朱元璋领导汉族人民反抗元朝-,预定在中秋节这一天起义,以互赠月饼的办法把字条夹在月饼中传递消息。此后,在中秋节吃月 饼的习俗便在民间广为流传。

中秋节还是一个合家团圆的日子。月饼代表团圆,中秋节要吃月饼,所以每年中秋节,远在外地的亲人都要赶回家乡,与亲人团聚。在这个美好的时刻,我们一家人也团圆到一起,吃了顿团圆饭,爷爷 、姑姑……都坐到了一起,唠着家常,有说有笑,好不热闹!

在回家的路上,我和爸爸抬头仰望着穿梭在云朵里的月亮,我想起了:在这美丽的月圆之夜,还有多少个家庭,还不能团圆到一起,就像大陆和台湾,虽然仅有一海峡之隔,但却总也不能得到大陆母亲 的拥抱;还有守卫边疆的解放军战士,舍小家顾大家,放弃自己与家人团圆的机会,保卫着祖国的边陲;还有玉树、舟曲等灾区的灾民们,他们是否能够和家人团圆到一起……

这让我不禁想起了:“人有悲欢离合,月有阴晴圆缺,此事古难全。但愿人长久,千里共婵娟……”

今天是国庆节,吃完早饭,我打开电视机。今天的节目跟每天的不一样,都是有关国庆节的事,到了十点钟,电视就开始直播国庆节阅兵了,我和爸爸妈妈坐在电视机旁开始观看起阅兵仪式。

首先看到的是__爷爷站在城楼上讲话,过了一会儿__爷爷站在红旗轿车上检阅解放军叔叔。胡爷爷向叔叔阿姨挥手问好,叔叔阿姨也向胡爷爷问好。轿车走了一圈,胡爷爷又站到城楼上准备检阅。过了一会儿,解放军叔叔迈着整齐的步伐走向广场。当叔叔们走到广场前时,叔叔们又踢起了正步,非常整齐。我真是太羡慕他们了,他们可真神气呀。

然后是检阅坦克部队,看到那么多的坦克,我在心里想:我们的祖国可真威风呀。有的车窗户不大点儿,有的车上带着火箭,还有的车上带着飞机。我以前从来没看见过这些武器呀。接下来是检阅飞机,有那么多喷彩气的小飞机,有直升飞机,有战斗机,还有运输机,他们排成各式各样的队伍,可好看了。

下面是群众队伍和彩车队伍,那么多的人和彩车,太壮观了。有的彩车带着和的画像,还有各省的彩车。最后是少年儿童队伍,那么多的哥哥和姐姐,他们可真幸运呀。其中有一个哥哥和一个姐姐站在花篮里摆手。底下的哥哥和姐姐举着气球,气球是四个小的和一个大的组成的。他们走到前,一齐把手中的气球放飞。天空中飘着五彩的气球,真是太漂亮了,我真为我们的祖国感到骄傲啊。

历时两个半小时的国庆大阅兵让十三亿中华儿女感到无比的骄傲和自豪,他让全世界的人见证了祖国的强大,让中华儿女看见了祖国的繁荣昌盛。我也一定要努力学习,为祖国的美好明天贡献自己的力量。

篇2:小学生暑假日记杭州游记

全文共 437 字

+ 加入清单

去年暑假,我们一家去杭州西湖游玩。

下了旅游大巴,碧绿碧绿的湖水和各色的荷花让我们大吃一惊,那景色真是太美了!

走近西湖,那湖水不是单纯的绿,深深浅浅的绿色水波轻轻荡漾,像仙女的纱幔。湖水清澈见底,清得可以看见湖底的泥沙、树枝和有些发黑的大石头。人们有的坐大游船欣赏西湖美景,有的则划一叶小舟向荷花荡漾而去。

花开还没有一个月吧,西湖的荷花已呈现如此美的景色!荷叶像碧绿的大圆盘将荷花保护在自己庞大的身躯下。白色、黄色、粉色的荷花挤在一起,有的才展开两三片花瓣;有的花瓣全展开了,露出嫩黄色的小莲蓬;有的还是花骨朵儿,圆滚滚的超级可爱。

晴天中的西湖很美,但蒙蒙细雨中的西湖就更美了。南方多雨,下午,我们有幸看到雨中的西湖。从远处望去,西湖披上一层薄薄的面纱,景色若隐若现。在朦胧之中,湖边的柳树伟岸,湖里的荷花娇媚。荷叶就更美了,它盛满了珍珠,“珍珠”小小的、晶莹剔透。

西湖的美如苏轼的一首诗:

欲把西湖比西子,

淡妆浓抹总相宜。

啊,祖国的江山多美呀!我为祖国有这样的大好河山而骄傲!

天空一下子阴沉了下来,云朵蹦了出来,紧接着雷公用力地敲击着雷鼓,小点儿都一个接一个地跳下来,它们有的在屋顶上玩滑滑梯,有的在雨伞上跳舞,有的在和小草、小花说悄悄话,诉说着旅行的快乐。

“沙沙沙,沙沙沙”无数个小雨点儿都一起演奏起大合唱。“轰隆隆,轰隆隆”雷公也为这首大合唱打起了节拍。花儿们静静地聆听着,并轻轻地跟着节奏摇摆着。雨中,人们打起了一把把小雨伞,雨点儿快活地跳着,雨伞成了最耀眼的“花朵”。雨点儿落在汽车上,为汽车洗了个澡。

渐渐地,雨小了,雷声也小了。一道美丽的彩虹挂在了空中,五彩缤纷,漂亮极了。经过雨水的冲洗,花朵变得更加娇艳,更加精神,小草变得更加新鲜,汽车变得那么干净。太阳公公回来了,他慈爱地看着人们,把自己的温暖再一次地撒向大地。鸟儿们又停在树枝上唱起了歌。

自从我的婆婆去了阿姨家,我就开始想妈妈每天上班很辛苦,还要照顾我,我要帮妈妈做点家务。

一天,我看见妈妈正忙着洗菜、做饭,我就问妈妈:“妈妈、妈妈你怕我小小的手碰到水会脱皮吗?”妈妈说:“不怕!”“妈妈我已经长大了,已经是小男子汉了,我想帮你做一件家务!”我不好意思的说。“好!”妈妈高兴的说。因为我想玩水,于是,我说:“妈妈,那你教我洗菜吧!”

妈妈用心的给我讲了一遍洗菜的过程。我就按照妈妈说的方法做:我先把水打在一个干净的盆子里,然后用手把菜叶一片片的摘下来,放进盆子里,用清水把菜叶、菜根洗得干干净净。在把洗干净的菜捞起来放到菜板上切。我还有告诉大家的是洗菜一共要洗2——3次哦!这样才洗得干净。妈妈还告诉我现在水资源越来越少了,要节约用水。想着妈妈的叮嘱和自己在电视上看到了一些地方干旱让好多的庄稼都颗粒无收。我就把洗了第一次、第二次……的水装进了大盆子里用来冲厕所、浇花……过了一会洗菜的家务我就做完了,我大声的叫到:“耶,我成功的完成洗菜了!”

我终于学会了做家务——洗菜。以后我要长期帮助家长和长辈。我更懂得了水有多么重要,我们一定要节约水资源!

篇5:儿童节的见闻小学五年级日记

全文共 900 字

这个六一是我上小学以来过的第一个自己的节日,我期待这一天快快到来。妈妈说前一天夜里我竟然在梦里高唱了一段,把妈妈吓了一跳。六一那天一早,我6:00就起床了,我匆匆忙忙地收拾东西、化妆,然后和爸爸妈妈一起赶往学校。

庆六一演出开始了,我们班第一个上场,别看我们年纪小,但是我们本领高。开场舞跳得热火朝天,戏曲联唱演得精彩纷呈,台下掌声不断,我们心里甜滋滋的。

在欣赏了各班同学带来的精彩表演以后,我们开始了图书交易会。我第一次自己挑选喜欢的书,自己付钱,买到了两本书共花了15元。回到家,我迫不及待地给爸爸妈妈看,爸爸妈妈说我挑得很好。

下午,我约上好朋友杨子璐去樱桃园摘樱桃。路过麦田,金灿灿的麦子一望无际,我们在麦田边摆各种造型,尽情地拍照,临走时我和杨子璐还摘了几根麦子做存粮。终于到了樱桃园,但是农民伯伯说樱桃已经快没有了,想摘也够不着了,我们只能挑了两家,买了两种最红最甜的樱桃离开了。

上了车,我们决定去摘杏。我们一路向山边开去,在车上,我和杨子璐一边聊天,一边欣赏着窗外的美景。我们看到滚滚的麦田,绿白相间、层层叠叠的梯田,茂密的树林,风景好美。很快,我们在一个杏树园前停下来。我们快乐地冲进树林,树枝上挂满了黄黄的杏子,我和杨子璐都爬上树去摘黄灿灿的杏子。摘下一个,擦擦干净,咬上一口。哎呦,那杏子好酸呐,我所有的牙齿都开始发抖,酸酸的味道在嘴里打转,我赶紧塞给妈妈,妈妈咬了一口,皱着眉头、张着嘴大叫:“太酸了。”我们为了礼貌买了十块钱的杏,继续向前进。

我们后来又去了一个山庄,在那里的一片空地上,一个老奶奶和老爷爷在晒麦子,他们用一个木头耙子来回推着麦粒,我和小朋友跑上去,帮助老爷爷推麦粒。老爷爷说,这些天,每天都要把麦子铺开了晒,太阳下山了再装进口袋运回家,等晒干了还得脱壳,磨碎,麻烦着呢。妈妈让我回忆一下我们种地时的辛苦,再和今天的工作连接在一起,想象一下吃一个馒头需要多少道工序啊,我想了想,这样看来,半年过去了才有可能吃上馒头啊,太辛苦了。我会珍惜粮食,再不浪费了。

太阳快要下山了,我们依依不舍地和大山、小河、大树、小草道别了,我要回家了。今天,我们度过了非常丰富、快乐的一天。

篇9:小学二年级重阳节日记怎么写

又到了一年一度的重阳节,重阳节又称老人节,因此在每年的9月9日我都要回乡探望。 It has reached the annual Chung Yeung Festival, and the Chung Yeung Festival is also called Old Man Festival. Therefore, I will return to visit on September 9th every year.

今年,我又照例回到了家乡。下了车后,便看到爷爷奶奶又照例出门迎接,奶奶还是一脸喜气,精神饱满。而爷爷也是依旧英姿飒爽,一直穿着他那件早已褪了色的衬衫。爷爷奶奶爸爸和妈妈依旧没变,可是今年的我却变了。

因为在爷爷奶奶急急忙忙地放下手中事情,跑来抱我的时候,我却躲闪了,并且气急败坏地说:“我现在长大了,不再是那个一回到家就要抱抱的小孩子了,我长大了!”奶奶的眼神中流露出一丝难过,但仍是轻声细语,并且手轻轻抚摸着我的头说道:“是啊,乖乖长大了,不要抱抱了!”说罢,便留给我了一个伤心的背影。

到了中午吃饭的时候,我依旧和爷爷奶奶疏远,坐在离爷爷奶奶远的距离。可这却让我的爸爸异常愤怒,爸爸猛的一拍桌子,对我吼道:“你今天怎么回事!也不坐在爷爷奶奶旁边,和他们说说话,聊聊天,快点,坐到爷爷奶奶的旁边来!”我当时先是一愣,眼前立即浮现出以前的画面:以前,我只要是一回老家,就总会粘着爷爷奶奶他们。

帮爷爷奶奶炒菜、端菜,给爷爷奶奶说一些有趣的事,吃饭时又抢着坐在爷爷奶奶的旁边,有什么好吃的,总是夹到爷爷奶奶的碗里。把所有的好东西都是先给爷爷奶奶。但是今天我却变了,和爷爷奶奶疏远?随着年龄增长我更应该好好孝顺他们,而不是产生隔阂。我默默地又回到了爷爷奶奶的身边。

是啊,我又明白了一句话:孝,一定要坚持,不可以因年龄而中断,我们一定要每时每刻尊重孝道。

今年夏天,我去领略了杭州西湖的美丽,领略了杭州西湖的高雅。

来到西湖边上,清澈的湖水就映入了我的眼帘,说那水是绿色的,但又不大绿;说那水是蓝色的,那又不大蓝。那水是蓝中带绿,绿中带蓝的,犹如一块巨大的祖母绿宝石。

在西湖的一侧,七八朵茶花开得正艳,娇嫩的花瓣弱不禁风地倚在荷叶上,金黄的花蕊引来了过路的飞虫;几条形态各异的鲤鱼在水中散步,为水增添了几分古色。

在湖的两边,栽满了柳树,微风抚过树枝,叶子沙沙地响着,如同大自然的琴声那般悦耳。夜晚,湖面上的游船就亮起了五彩的灯,来湖边游玩的人也多了,其中有一部份是来看音乐喷泉的,在晚上8点,伴随着动听的音乐,西湖边的一排喷泉就在夜色中喷了出来,五彩斑斓,千变万化,如同在夜色中舞蹈的精灵,是那样轻盈、美丽。

西湖旁有一条公路,绕着公路走,就能看到西湖的全景,这让我欣喜若狂。对于第一次来看西湖的我来说,西湖简直就是人间天堂。

欣赏完西湖,我的心早已被她俘获。西湖,我要赞扬您的美,您的雅!您永远是浙江的一颗璀璨明珠!

篇20:闹元宵英语作文小学80字

The Lantern Festival falls on the 15th day of the 1st lunar month, usually

in February or March in the Gregorian calendar. As early as the Western Han

Dynasty (206 BC-AD 25), it had become a festival with great significance.

This days important activity is watching lanterns. Throughout the Han

Dynasty (206 BC-AD 220), Buddhism flourished in China. One emperor heard that

Buddhist monks would watch sarira, or remains from the cremation of Buddhas

body, and light lanterns to worship Buddha on the 15th day of the 1st lunar

month, so he ordered to light lanterns in the imperial palace and temples to

show respect to Buddha on this day. Later, the Buddhist rite developed into a

grand festival among common people and its influence expanded from the Central

Plains to the whole of China.

Till today, the lantern festival is still held each year around the

country. Lanterns of various shapes and sizes are hung in the streets,

attracting countless visitors. Children will hold self-made or bought lanterns

to stroll with on the streets, extremely excited. "Guessing lantern riddles"is

an essential part of the Festival.

Lantern owners write riddles on a piece of paper and post them on the

lanterns. If visitors have solutions to the riddles, they can pull the paper out

and go to the lantern owners to check their answer. If they are right, they will

get a little gift. The activity emerged during peoples enjoyment of lanterns in

the Song Dynasty (960-1279). As riddle guessing is interesting and full of

wisdom, it has become popular among all social strata.

People will eat yuanxiao, or rice dumplings, on this day, so it is also

called the "Yuanxiao Festival."Yuanxiao also has another name, tangyuan. It is

small dumpling balls made of glutinous rice flour with rose petals, sesame, bean

paste, jujube paste, walnut meat, dried fruit, sugar and edible oil as filling.

Tangyuan can be boiled, fried or steamed. It tastes sweet and delicious. What’s

more, tangyuan in Chinese has a similar pronunciation with "tuanyuan”, meaning

reunion. So people eat them to denote union, harmony and happiness for the

family.

In the daytime of the Festival, performances such as a dragon lantern

dance, a lion dance, a land boat dance, a yangge dance, walking on stilts and

beating drums while dancing will be staged. On the night, except for magnificent

lanterns, fireworks form a beautiful scene. Most families spare some fireworks

from the Spring Festival and let them off in the Lantern Festival. Some local

governments will even organize a fireworks party. On the night when the first

full moon enters the New Year, people become really intoxicated by the imposing

fireworks and bright moon in the sky.
