端午节是我们中国十分隆重的节日,它是为了纪念战国时期伟大的爱国诗人屈原,现在的中国人还在延续这一习俗,甚至还有一天的法定节日。

Dragon Boat Festival is a very grand festival in China. It is to

commemorate Qu Yuan, a great patriotic poet in the Warring States period. Now

Chinese people still continue this custom, even a legal festival.

农历五月初五就是端午节了,家家户户都要包粽子,还有有趣的划龙舟比赛呢!奶奶在家已经煮好了香喷喷的粽子,打开锅盖满屋都飘着粽子的清香,让我闻得口水直流个不停。我迫不及待地剥开粽子叶津津有味的吃了起来,真是回味无穷呀!

The Dragon Boat Festival is on the fifth day of may in the lunar calendar.

Every family needs to make zongzi. There are also interesting dragon boat races!

Grandma has cooked delicious zongzi at home. When she opened the pot cover, the

fragrance of zongzi was floating all over the house, making my mouth water

continuously. I cant wait to peel off the zongzi leaf and eat it with relish.

Its really memorable!

吃完粽子后,爸爸带我去看划龙舟比赛,这里人山人海,车水马龙的可热闹了!比赛开始了,各个队伍都蓄势待发,随着一阵枪声一条条龙舟飞快地划过水面,犹如一支支箭向前飞去。在场的观众们兴奋喊道着加油加油,在为参赛者加油鼓励,参赛者们听了心里充满了信心使劲地划桨,水花到处飞溅。各条龙舟你追我赶的,最后,落后的一号终于追上了遥遥领先的二号第一个冲过了终点,观众们不禁欢呼起来,到处都是一片欢乐的海洋。啊!这真是我最难忘的一天了。

After eating zongzi, my father took me to watch the dragon boat race. There

are lots of people here, and the traffic is very busy! The race started, and

every team is ready to go. With a burst of gunfire, each dragon boat flies

across the water like an arrow. The audience cheered and shouted, cheering and

encouraging for the contestants. The contestants listened with confidence and

strove hard to paddle, and the water splashed everywhere. Each dragon boat

chased after each other. At last, the laggard No. 1 finally caught up with the

far ahead No. 2. The audience couldnt help cheering. There was a sea of joy

everywhere. Ah! This is the most unforgettable day for me.

还有许许多多的传统节日也是和端午节一样有趣的,我们要一起保护中国的传统节日。

There are also many traditional festivals as interesting as Dragon Boat

Festival. We should protect Chinese traditional festivals together.

篇12:元宵节包汤圆小学作文

正月十五这一天是中国的传统节日,也就是元宵节。在这一天里有一个习俗,那就是吃汤圆。因此,汤圆也成了我最爱吃的一种食物。据说汤圆是从古至今的元宵标配,所以吃汤圆也成了习俗。

在元宵节这天外婆是要包汤圆给我们吃的。所以我便去到了外婆家,我一进门,便看见了外婆正在厨房里包起了汤圆。我看见了,不知怎的,忽然心血来潮,便也加入到其中,包了起来。

记得爸爸说过:“在元宵节这一天吃汤圆象征着全家人团团圆圆,和睦幸福。而且人们将自己对未来生活的美好希望寄托在汤圆身上。”

我见外婆先是用开水倒入装有糯米粉的盆子里,然后不断的用力搓面,一直搓到像一大块橡皮泥一样有韧性,接着外婆又用精妙的手法把面搓成了一个宝塔的形状,然后外婆又从“宝塔”的顶尖上拽下一块块小面团,从中间掏出一个洞,我见外婆这样做,也拿起一个小面团从中间挖了一个洞,然后再用两个手相配合着将这个洞越搞越大,最后再把准备好的黑芝麻馅放入洞内,用大拇指和食慢慢捏,接着将洞口封住把封口的汤圆放在手心上,用两个手柔和地将汤圆搓圆。这样一个汤圆就完成了。但是我看看自己手上的这个汤圆再和外婆手上的这个比,真是差别太大了,但外婆还是夸奖了我。后来我们将汤圆煮熟,等到汤圆煮熟之后便浮上了锅面,煮熟后的汤圆个个又大又白,看了之后便叫人嘴馋。大家吃汤圆是都夸我和外婆的手艺好,我吃着汤圆心里觉得美滋滋。

看着汤圆,我仿佛看到了以后日子的团团圆圆,和和美美。

介绍元宵节风俗英语作文

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.

元宵节英文介绍译文:

元宵节

每年农历的正月十五日,春节刚过,迎来的就是中国的传统节日--元宵节。

元宵主要的活动就是看灯。东汉明帝时期,明帝提倡佛教,听说佛教有正月十五日僧人观佛舍利,点灯敬佛的做法,就命令这一天夜晚在皇宫和寺庙里点灯敬佛,令士族庶民都挂灯。以后这种佛教礼仪节日逐渐形成民间盛大的节日。该节经历了由宫廷到民间,由中原到全国的发展过程。

直到今天,元宵点灯的习俗仍然在中国的各地流传的,各式各样美丽的花灯在这一天都会点亮,孩子们提着自制的灯笼走街串巷,非常高兴。

猜灯谜也是元宵节的一项重要活动,花灯的主人会将谜面写在灯笼上,挂在门口,如果有人可以猜中,就能得到小小的礼物。这项活动最早起源于宋朝,因为谜语能启迪智慧又饶有兴趣,所以流传过程中深受社会各阶层的欢迎。

民间过元宵节吃元宵的习俗。元宵由糯米制成,或实心,或带馅。馅有豆沙、白糖、山楂、各类果料等,食用时煮、煎、蒸、炸皆可。起初,人们把这种食物叫“浮圆子”,后来又叫“汤团”或“汤圆”,这些名称“团圆”字音相近,取团圆之意,象征全家人团团圆圆,和睦幸福,人们也以此怀念离别的亲人,寄托了对未来生活的美好愿望。

随着时间的推移,元宵节的活动越来越多,白天有耍龙灯、耍狮子、踩高跷、划旱船扭秧歌、打太平鼓等传统民俗表演。到了夜晚,除了五颜六色的美花灯之外,还有艳丽多姿的烟火。大多数家庭会在春节时留下一些烟花等到元宵节这天燃放,而一些地方政府也会举办烟花大会,当新年的第一个月圆之夜在盛大的烟火表演中来临时,人们都陶醉在这令人难忘了烟花与皎洁的明月中。
