据说长城还有一个美丽的传说呢!别急,听我一一道来。孟姜女的丈夫被秦始皇抓去造长城了,为了这件事,孟姜女哭得像个泪人似的。过了几年,她丈夫没有传话给她,孟姜女决定去找丈夫。孟姜女一路上费尽了千心万苦,终于来到了长城。她找呀找,找呀找,还是没有找到丈夫,她问了工友们,工友们说:“范喜良已经死了,尸首被拉去镇城脚了。”孟姜女听了,一阵心酸,大哭起来,哭得天昏地暗,连天地都感动了。天越来越阴沉,风越来越猛烈,只听“哗啦”一声,长城倒了,范喜良的尸首露出来了。孟姜女非常伤心,纵身跳进波涛滚滚的大海。大家一定要保护长城,给以后游览长城的人作榜样。

+ 加入清单长城是我国古代规模最大的防御性军事工程。长城东起山海关,穿过高山,越过深谷,伸蜒于沙漠和草原,一直到达终点嘉峪关。全长1.2万余华里,故称万里长城。
在公元前五至七世纪的春秋战国时期,中原大地诸侯争霸,战争频繁。为了防御北方草原强悍的游牧部落袭扰中原,位于北部的燕、赵、秦等国于要冲之地高筑城墙。秦始皇统一中国,将列国长城连成一线,创造了举世闻名的古代工程奇迹。朝廷采取高筑墙方针,对长城进行了18次大规模修筑,延续时间长达200余年,将历代土石城墙都改为砖砌。
长城不是一道弧立的城墙,而是由敌楼、烟墩组成的完整的军事防御体系。到了明代,城墙防御体系极其严密,城墙以砖砌成,高10米,宽5米,墙上每隔30米建有敌楼,敌楼有实心和空心两种,平面圆型。实心敌台只能射击,而空心敌楼下层住人还有粮草。在城墙上还垒砌有烟墩,一旦战争爆发,位于前线的烟墩点烟,士兵就出动了,士兵从垛口进行射击,城墙设置射孔等防御工事。
作为中华民族象征也征服了世界。1987年12月被联合国教科文组织遗产委员会列世界遗产名录。长城,是中国的一条龙,是见证中国发展的有效见证,这也验证了不到长城非好汉的含义。

篇20:高一英语作文腊八节介绍
全文共 1415 字
+ 加入清单The majority Han Chinese have long followed the tradition of eating laba rice porridge on the eighth day of the twelfth lunar month. The date usually falls in min-January and is a traditional Chinese festival.
Legend about the origin of this festivity abounds One maintains that over 3,000 years ago sacrificial rites were held in the twelfth lunar month when people offered up their prey to the gods of heaven and earth. The Chinese characters for the hunt and the twelfth month were interchangeable then, and ever since la has been used to refer to both. Since the festival was held on the eighth day of the last month, people later appended the number eighth , giving us the current laba.
Buddhism was well accepted in the areas inhabited Han Chinese, who believed that Sakyamuni, the first Buddha and founder of the religion, attained enlightenment on 12/8. Sutras were chanted in the temples and rice porridge with beans, nuts and dried fruit was prepared for the Buddha. With time the custom extended, especially in rural areas where peasants would pray for a plentiful harvest in this way.
There is, however, another touching story. When Sakyamuni was on his way into the high mountains in his quest for understanding and enlightenment, he grew tired and hungry. Exhausted from days of walking, he passed into unconsciousness by a river in India. A shepherdess found him there and fed him her lunch.
