中国文化与美国文化的不同的英语作文【热门20篇】

我是兵马俑，一个人类熟悉而又不太了解的名字。

我是秦始皇花费心思建造的陪葬品，见证了这个朝代的兴衰，见证了那段鲜为人知的历史。我的出土，震惊了全世界，被誉为“世界第八大奇迹”“人类古代精神文明的瑰宝”。

当我被现代人挖出来时，心中充满喜悦。人们在感叹秦代人民的智慧才能和丰富的想象力的同时，我也被眼前新鲜的一切所吸引。

我多么想讲一讲我的故事啊!我们那时候每人都身穿古装，彬彬有礼。秦始皇也不像人们说的那样凶残暴戾，其实他是一个英明能干，颇有远见卓识的君王，将国家治理的条条是道，也为后朝的发展做出了巨大的贡献。也正因为他的仁慈，用陶俑替代最原始的“活人陪葬”陋习，才有了我的诞生，面世。

我在现代人的眼中俨然是一个“大明星”，每天来“拜访”我，来看我的有很多，有学生、老师、工人……有些人对我很尊重，有些人就不一样了，他们对我开着闪光灯拍照，还对我丢垃圾。不过现在经济发达了，谁要是碰我一下，呵!那就赔钱吧!谁要是想跟我合照，哼哼!白日做梦!只能与我的相片合照，还要收费，我现在可是个贵人呢!

连我这个几千岁的人都知道文明礼仪，现在的人为什么却要肆无忌惮的去破坏这份美好呢?他们在我面前胡乱拍照，只管这张拍的好不好，怎么P图，这个衣服那个衣服的，完全不顾导游的讲解，有的甚至还往俑坑里丢垃圾，这样的行为太不应该了!

作为一个中国人民，我们要遵守中华文化的传统美德，怀敬畏之心，爱惜、保护古文物，把我们几千年的历史文明好好延续下去!

导语：有关中国教育问题一直被关注着，那么中国的早期教育是什么样的呢?下面是yuwenmi小编为大家整理的相关优秀英语作文，欢迎阅读与借鉴，谢谢!

Chinese are very generous while educating children. Not caring about the money, parents of-ten send their children to the best schools or even abroad to study because they believe that the more expensive an education is, the better it is.

So parents will spend an unreasonable amount of money oneducation. Even poor couples will buy a computer for their children. However, the best early education is usually very cheap. Childrens skills vary. Most parents fail to realize though,what children lack today is self-respect and self-confidence. The problem is that parents are only educating their children on how to take multiple choice tests and study well instead of the most important skills of being confident, happy and clever. Parents can achieve this by teaching practical skills like cooking, sewing and other housework. Cooking will improve many skills children need later in life. Though demanding patience and time, it is an enjoyable experience. A good cook always tries to improve his cooking,so he works hard and gradually finishes his job successfully.His result, a well-cooked dinner, will give him much satisfaction and a lot of self-confidence. Some old machines, such as a broken radio or TV set your child plays with will make him curious and arouse his interest.

He may spend hours looking at them, trying to fix them. These activities are not merely teaching a child to read a book, but rather to think, to use his mind. And that is more important.

【参考译文】

中国人在教育孩子时非常慷慨。不关心钱，有的父母送他们的孩子去最好的学校甚至出国学习，因为他们认为教育越贵，就越好。

所以父母会花太多钱的教育。即使是贫穷的夫妇也会为他们的孩子买电脑。然而，最好的早期教育通常是非常便宜。儿童技能各不相同。大多数家长没有意识到，现在孩子缺乏的是自尊和自信。问题是，父母只是在教育孩子如何进行多项选择考试，好好学习，而不是最重要的技能，自信，快乐和聪明。家长可以通过教授烹饪、缝纫和其他家务等实际技能来达到这一目的。烹饪会提高孩子以后生活中需要的技能。虽然要求耐心和时间，这是一个愉快的经验。一个好的厨师总是努力提高自己的厨艺，所以他努力工作，并逐渐成功地完成了他的工作，他的结果，一个精心制作的晚餐，将给他带来很大的满足和自信。有些旧的机器，比如你孩子玩的坏收音机或电视机，会使他好奇，引起他的兴趣。

他可能会花几个小时看着他们，试图修复他们。这些活动不仅是教孩子读书，而是思考，用他的头脑。更重要的是。

盼星星，盼月亮。我终于盼到行文的户外课了。

今天我们要去中国沉香文化博物馆，路上我看到蝴蝶在跳舞，小鸟在枝头唱歌。只有一个小鸟在马路上叼虫子吃，这只小鸟也太可爱了吧！我兴奋到一蹦三尺高。

终于到中国沉香文化博物馆了，我们一下车，就看到了一个巨大的香盒，老师就说：“这就是中国沉香文化博物馆哦！”这原来是沉香博物馆啊。这个形状也太奇怪了吧！楼梯长的可以去到天堂了。

我们上了楼梯之后，我们就玩了夹气球的游戏，我本来就怕气球爆炸的声音，可还是逃不掉。气球一爆炸，我的心就跳到垃圾桶里了，我真的好害怕啊！

我们参观完博物馆之后，就去弹色空鼓了，色空鼓的声音叮叮咚咚的，像风铃被风吹的声音。我觉得色空鼓的声音也太好听了吧。一听，我好像就在色空鼓里听着它弹的声音。

老师说要回去了，我只好依依不舍带着小纪念品回去行文写作文了。但我也把快乐带回了行文。我下一次还会去中国沉香文化博物馆的！

人口问题是当今世界上最大的问题之一，中国是世界上人口最多的国家，如果人口增长过快，将会带来许多严重问题，我们应控制人口增长。

China has a huge population, so the population of china will be very hard to control. Many specialists to solve this problem, but no one have a good

way to solve. Now, the population of china have about 1.3 billion population, and land holdings per head average only 0.82 hectares, also the plough holdings per head average only 0.106 hectares. It take up 43% of the world, so that means the resource of our country is very less now, and didnt surpass the half percentage of the world.

In this article, I will show you some information about the Chinese population policy.

The history of Chinese policy

Start with 1949, china was liberate. The leader of china Mao Zedong was make a policy which is encourage people to bear, because the Mao think a strong country need a huge population. So, in that time if a woman burn many children, then the woman will called “hero woman”.

And many people were born, that is why the population of china were very huge new.

In 1978, the family plan were start to use, because the population of china is too huge, and need some policy to control it. So Chinese government was start to use the family planning to control, that is the most useful way to control, they do many thing like welfare to the Chinese people.

At that time, many of the population were like thispolicy, because they can get much benefit from this event.

I have seen some poster of the family planning in 1978, and I think it is fool the common people in that time. So I always pity for all elderly Chinese

people, and my parent tell me it was very cruel that time. When you born more than one child, you will have much and much punishment from the government, like to injure your house, increase your tax levy, but not cruel as kill you, so Chinese is very kind that time!

Now, the government have been thinking the problem of the population, some peoplesay that we have been keeping the family planning, and other people think we have to stop the family, so it have two choose of family planning, each of it will have a big change in china.

Family planning

Family planning is a kind of population policy in the world which is very common, many country were use this policy to control the population, because it is very easy to use, and very convenient to manage the population. Also is very low-cost to use.

But it have some bad way, like it will have a big problem called aging of population, it made the many young peoples burden very huge, very hard to care two parent or more.

Conclude, family planning isnt the best way to control the population, and it can bring many problem to the country. But we cant find another way to control the population, so we just can use this policy.

The policy of population now

One Chinese leader of family planning department said that we have to keep going for family planning forever, and china need much and much strict family planning to control our population.

Then many specialist to publish their own idea of family planning, all of

ideas were talk about to weaken or stop the family planning, and give some advice of population. Here I would like introduce some specialist ideas.

Chinese population is very large now, if we stop growing immediately, it will have a big problem call aging of population. If this problem happen, the young people will be very hard to provide their family.

Population will be stop growing to 1.8 milliard if we dont do anything, so that is a good way to control the population and dont have much shortcoming. It can be a better way to control the population, isnt it

If we still using the policy of family planning, it will have a large population decrease, and will have aneffect of many thing. Productivity of china will be less, and manpower resource will be less too.

This is all my thinking

导语：联是我国一种传统的文学形式,有着悠久的历史。它妙趣横生,雅俗共赏,具有极其浓郁的民族特色,一直为广大人民群众所喜闻乐见。

对联，汉族传统文化之一，又称楹联或对子，是写在纸、布上或刻在竹子、木头、柱子上的对偶语句。对联对仗工整，平仄协调，是一字一音的中华语言独特艺术形式。对联相传起于五代后蜀主孟昶。对联是中国汉族传统文化瑰宝。

巍巍中华，灿烂文化五千年；壮丽河山，纵横九百六十万。让我们踏上中国文化之旅，领略她的神奇魅力吧。

轻叩中国建筑文化之门。故宫、土楼，吊脚楼等各具特色的建筑令人目不暇接。苏州园林作为中国古典建筑的精髓，将中国人民的智慧体现得淋漓尽致。苏州园林讲求亭院山水的布局，流连其中，仿佛让你有一种“柳暗花明又一村”的感觉。偶尔烟雨迷蒙，撑着油纸伞的姑娘，向你走近，又消逝在小径的尽头。走到每一个角落，都充分让你感受到山水萦绕你左右，处处鸟语花香，更有“一花一世界、一叶一天堂”之感。忽而听见耳边潺潺流水，忽而闻到芳香满怀，还有满目苍翠与花朵的争奇斗艳交相辉映。看那典雅的亭台楼阁，屏风仿佛还散发着那阵阵淡淡檀香。轻抚屏风上的雕花，工匠雕刻的情景便生动的跃现于眼前。每走到一个不同的空间都呈现出不同的感觉，因为这正是建筑要传递的，中国独有的建筑艺术。

翻开中国服饰文化之页。从古至今，如此多的王朝不断更替，几乎每一个王朝都有它们代表的服饰，某种程度上反映了不同民族特有的文化。唐朝有唐装、汉朝有汉服、清朝有满族服饰，民国有中山装和旗袍。这些民族服饰当中，我最喜欢旗袍，其线条华丽流畅，充分展现了东方女性之美，又保留传统的韵味。穿上旗袍的女子，娉婷秀雅，一举手一投足都那么温文尔雅、温婉贤淑。她转身，旗袍的下摆迎风而起；她回眸，粉面含羞，笑颊如花；她侧身坐下，轻抚琴弦，丹唇未启意已达，正所谓“低眉信手续续弹，说尽心中无限事”。虽然旗袍已不再流行，可是她作为一个时代的标志，永远是中国传统文化锦上添花的一笔。

走进中国饮食文化之廊。中国诸多省份，不同的地方有不同的饮食习惯反映了当地的气候、作物、人文等。我是一名广东人，我最喜欢的一道小菜名为“伴塘小炒”，西芹、百合清新爽口，莲藕藕断丝连，芋头粉嫩可口，多重口感丰富了你的味蕾，唇齿留香。选用广东随处可见的材料，加上适当的调味品，这道普通的小菜，也能让人食指大动，食欲大增。民以食为天，传统菜式不断推陈出新，不断发展，开启饮食文化新篇章。

中国文化如此多种多样，中国文化底蕴如此深厚。不同的文化演绎着一个个时代的旋律，不同的文化见证着一个个时代的变迁。踏上中国文化之旅，让我们将中国文化发扬光大。

今天，我们的研学队伍来到莫高窟，七月的大西北，太阳一出来，戈壁滩如同火炉，人们不敢在太阳底下多呆一秒钟。但这是不能阻挡我的热情的，老实说，走进莫高窟，是我向往已久的愿望。

原来，出于保护的需要，莫高窟内是没有任何照明设备的，黑暗、清凉、气味重。因为事先有老师的介绍，我们了解到了莫高窟的历史价值与文化价值，知道一些关于它多难的历史，所以，走进窟内，大家表情严肃，无人说笑打闹。

在解说员手电筒灯光的照射下，石窟里的景象逐渐清晰。那一处处壁画，生动形象、栩栩如生，着实令人眼前一亮。窟内一般由塑像和壁画组成，伏羲、女娲、雷神、飞天……这些只在书中看到的神话人物，在壁画上屡屡出现。在导游的介绍下，我才知道，壁画也好，雕塑也要，他们有许多都是在讲述着一则则佛家故事，非常生动形象。我想，用这种方式传递佛教是很能激起人兴趣的。

记忆最深的是关于佛祖的雕塑。佛祖的神色第一眼给人带来的是惊悚，但看久了后，便能体会到那神色中实则包含着的是佛门的慈悲。石窟中见到最多的是七个佛像，它们的排位也都相同，佛祖释迦摩尼居中，它的佛像最大，雕刻得也最为精细，但令我印象最为深刻的是佛祖像的左侧那尊佛像，释迦摩尼的大弟子苦行僧，他的裸露出的肌肤似乎真的历经了千磨万难，皮包骨瘦，那根根肋骨都能清晰的瞧见，深邃的目光中透露出他对前方艰险磨难的坚定与无所畏惧，我不禁为这群古代艺术家们的高超技艺折服。

这些雕塑美中不足便是有些部位缺损了，后来我才知道，它们有的是因自然原因，但更多的是人为造成的，到底是为什么呢?

这时讲解员向我们解答了。原来，这莫高窟中的许多经文、壁画、雕塑都已流落异国了，当时中国正处于纷乱状态，那时的政事怎有精力来看管这处东方的卢浮宫呢。

半天的时间很短，但让我领略了中华文化的历史悠久，艺术博大精深;也让我认识到了文化艺术繁荣的背后，一定有一个强大的社会支撑。

谈到中国，人们感叹中国的发展迅速。而谈到中国文化，人们更是惊叹：中国是四大文明古国之一，拥有五千年的文明历史，但现在中国文化又去哪里了?

中国的文化历史源远流长，有唐代的诗，宋代的词，元代的曲，明清时期的古典小说等，读起来都令人回味无穷。

而随着科技的进步和经济的发展，人们生活水平提高了，但人们也变得越来越物质了，无止境的追求物质上的享受，而忽视了精神世界的提升。中国的国粹—京剧，已经渐渐被人们所淡忘，取而代之的是那些庸俗，不入流的通俗歌曲。

在这个物欲横流的社会，又有谁会注意在角落里哭泣的中国文化呢?

随着中外经济政治文化交流，大量外国商品、文化等涌入中国，出现了不少“崇洋媚外”的现象。现在人人都知道“圣诞节”“万圣节”“情人节”。每到这个时候，大街小巷都会特别热闹，人人脸上都喜气洋洋，但谁又能想到我们中国的传统节日—“七夕节”“重阳节”呢?很少很少。

许多外国人看到了中国文化的精髓，深深地被吸引，不断学习中国的文化，甚至还设立了“唐人街”和“孔子学院”，许多热爱中国文化的外国学生都纷纷前来游玩和学习，我们在感到高兴和欣慰的同时，是不是该反思一下自己对待中国文化的态度呢?外国人都能体味到中国文化的独到之处，为什么我们就不去体味呢?

一批获得诺贝尔文学奖的人说，如果要在二十一世纪生存下去，必须回过头去，汲取二千五百年前孔子的智慧。

中国伟大的学者孔子、老子、庄子都世界闻名，国外的孔子学院更是相当热门，可是现在的中国人谁又真正的了解孔子的儒学思想?谁又能挣得明白庄子的“逍遥游”呢?

朋友们，谈起心中沉睡的文化大门，中国文化会永远屹立在世界文化之林，巍然不倒。

北京的景物有很多，有雄伟的长城，有美丽的十三陵，还有著名的学府北大和清华……我最喜欢的便是那美丽的颐和园了。

进了颐和园的大门，首先映入眼帘的是那金碧辉煌的大殿，我四处逛了逛，不知不觉便来到了全城最长的长廊。

这条长廊全长七百二十八米，分成了很多间“小口”，所以每走几步都会有一幅画呈现在你的眼前，虽然总体上差不多，但他们姿态不一，没有一幅是相同的。长廊两旁载满了花木，这一朵刚谢，另一朵又开了，以此形成了鲜明的对比，所以让景物显得更加漂亮了。

不一会，我便来到了万寿山的脚下。抬头一看，只见那高高的山上隐隐约约能望见佛香阁和排云殿，那便是主要景点了。由于对山上的风景充满了期待，所以我迫不及待地开始向着顶点出发，待我登上那一百层台阶，感觉浑身软绵绵的，一点力气都没有了。但当我一听说爬上这一百层台阶就能活到一百岁时，仿佛浑身一下子又充满了力气，开心极了。站在山顶上，一切景物尽收眼底，真是别有一番景象啊!我想在生活中我们也需要爬山这种坚持不懈的精神，只有这样才能看到生活中不一样的美。

颐和园真美啊!我想我们一定要保护环境，保护我们美丽的家园，让颐和园变得更美。

中国传统文化—剪纸

剪纸是我国传统文化之一，最早出现在汉朝。在我国北方很流行剪纸，每到过年过节，家家户户都要剪一些美丽的图案贴在窗户上和门上，以表示喜庆。

上周星期三，爸爸教我们剪纸。先拿出一张彩色纸，把它压得平平的。接着在纸上画蝴蝶的一半，然后就剪画的蝴蝶，剪的时候一定要细心，千万不要剪错了，不然就要重新来。最后把剪的蝴蝶打开，就是一张蝴蝶图案了。不过，这样还不漂亮，我们把蝴蝶图案涂上各种各样的颜色，一只在花丛飞舞的蝴蝶出现在我们眼前了。

以后，过年过节我一定要把我剪的纸贴在自己门上和窗户上。

TheDragonBoatFestivaloccurs on the fifth day of the fifth moon of the lunar calendar(阴历). It is one of the three most important of the annual Chinese festivals. The other two are the Autumn Moon Festival and Chinese New Year.

The story of this colorful festival concerns a famous Chinese scholar-statesman(政治家) named Chu Yuan(屈原) who, some three centuries before the birth of Christ, served the King of Chu(楚怀王)during the Warring States period. As a loyal minister(大臣), Chu Yuan at first enjoyed the full confidence and respect of his sovereign(君主). Eventually, through the intrigues of his rivals, he was discredited(不足信的, 不名誉的).

Chu Yuan was never able to regain(恢复) the emperors favor and on the fifth day of the fifth moon in the year 295 B.C.(Before Christ), at the age of 37, Chu Yuan clasped a stone to his chest and plunged into the Milo River(汨罗江) in the Hunan Province(湖南省).

Respecting the minister as an upright(正直的) and honest man, the people who lived in the area jumped into their boats and rushed out in a vain search for him. This unsuccessful rescue attempt is a part of what the Dragon Boat Festival commemorates every year.

Probably the most exciting and interesting aspect of the festival is the racing of the Dragon Boats. These races not only symbolize the peoples attempt to save Chu Yuan, they also demonstrate the Chinese virtues(美德) of cooperation and teamwork.

Another activity of the Festival is the making and eating of a kind of dumpling called Tzungtzu (粽子). When it became known that Chu Yuan was gone forever, the people, living along the river, threw cooked rice into the water as a sacrifice(祭品) to their dead hero. They wrapped(包) rice in bamboo leaves(粽叶), and stuffed(填满) it with ham, beans, bean paste(豆沙), salted egg yokes, sausages, nuts, and/or vegetables.

To the Chinese the fifth lunar moon is more than just the Dragon Boat Festival. Since antiquity(古代), they have believed that this month is a pestilential and danger-fraught(瘟疫的及充满危险的) period. Children born in this month are said to be difficult to raise(抚养), and people tend to concentrate their efforts during this time attempting to protect their families from ills and misfortune. The day of the Dragon Boat Festival is customarily the time when cleaning and sanitation(卫生) are stressed(着重, 强调). Most families hang calamus(菖蒲) and artemisia(艾草) above their doors, both as a decoration and as a preventive against pestilence.

Ancient folk medicines(民间药物) such as realgar(雄黄酒)are added to the food eaten on the Festival day. This is believed to prevent disease and to promote a healthy digestive system(消化器官). The drinking of realgar in wine supposedly relieves(解除) the effects of poisons accumulated in human bodies.

The sachets (Hsiang Pao in Chinese香包) are very popular with children and they vie(竞争) with each other to collect as many as possible. Children are not the only ones who collect Hsiang Pao. Older people are often given them as a symbol of respect, and they are highly prized because of the intricate(复杂的) and beautiful embroidery(刺绣) that adorns(装饰) them.

The Dragon Boat Festival is an entertaining and enjoyable event. It gives the observer an opportunity to glimpse a part of the rich Chinese cultural heritage

1、Its Chinese name "Qing Ming" literally means "Clear Brightness," hinting at its importance as a celebration of Spring. Similar to the spring festivals of other cultures, Tomb Sweeping Day celebrates the rebirth of nature, while marking the beginning of the planting season and other

outdoor activities.

颐和园，中国清朝时期皇家园林，坐落在北京西郊，距城区15公里，全园占地3.009平方公里，水面约占四分之三。与圆明园毗邻。它是以昆明湖、万寿山为基址，以杭州西湖为蓝本，汲取江南园林的设计手法而建成的一座大型山水园林，也是保存最完整的一座皇家行宫御苑，被誉为“皇家园林博物馆”。

颐和园自万寿山顶的智慧海向下，由佛香阁、德辉殿等，构成了一条层次分明的中轴线。山下是一条长700多米的“长廊”，长廊枋梁上有彩画8000多幅，号称“世界第一廊”。长廊之前是昆明湖。昆明湖的西堤是仿照西湖的苏堤建造的。万寿山后山、后湖古木成林，有藏式寺庙，苏州河古买卖街。后湖东端有仿无锡寄畅园而建的谐趣园，小巧玲珑，被称为“园中之园”。

1961年3月4日，颐和园被公布为第一批全国重点文物保护单位，中国四大名园之一，1998年11月被列入《世界遗产名录》。2007年5月8日，颐和园经国家旅游局正式批准为国家5A级旅游景区。2009年，颐和园入选中国世界纪录协会中国现存最大的皇家园林。

天刚蒙蒙亮，天空从东方一点儿一点儿泛着鱼肚色，今天的旅游目的地是颐和园，我起得很早，叫起了爸爸妈妈，我们洗漱完就出发了。

我们在路上看到了万里长城，长城下面的树棵棵苍翠欲滴，一阵风吹来，两棵树结伴跳起了著名的舞蹈——探戈，但是它们想跳的好，也是梦里吃蜜——想的甜，万里长城都弯弯曲曲，像此起彼伏的蛇一样，这应该是世界上最大、最长的蛇了。

我们进行了四个小时的路程，终于到颐和园了，先映到眼帘的是走廊，走廊长达几百米，走廊上面有几十幅画，每一幅画都不一样，多姿多彩、五彩缤纷、姿态不一，各有各的美，每一幅画我都看得如痴如醉，很惬意。

我觉得颐和园令我印象最深刻的还是那片湖水，湖水清澈见底，宛如一面翡翠，映着天，映着云，映着桥，映着山，湖水是恬静的，恬静得没有一丝涟漪，就像是一个准备出嫁的姑娘，捧着一层薄薄的轻纱，那么温柔，那么羞涩，下面还有一些彩石，当太阳照在彩石上的时候就银光闪闪、波光粼粼。

在郁郁葱葱枝繁叶茂的树林上面，有着一座金碧辉煌，富丽堂皇的塔，那座塔是真的耀眼，感觉看得我眼睛就要瞎了，从头上到脚下，没有一点地方是其他颜色。

站在那座山的边上低头，看着杂草丛生的树木，抬头看就是蓝如大海的天空，向前方远眺，是一座十七拱桥，这座桥是独一无二的，上面雕着几百多个猴子的雕像，那些猴子动作灵活，没有一个动作是重复的。

现在我们的大自然湖光山色，这么美!是不是更该爱护它呢?

秦始皇兵马俑博物馆位于陕西省西安市临潼区秦陵镇，是首批国家一级博物馆。博物馆里三座坑共8000多陶兵马俑，组成了气势宏大的军阵排列。

据历史记载，战国时期流行用活人殉葬，秦始皇接受丞相李斯的建议，保留活人为国家守卫边疆，从而改用陶俑殉葬。

兵马俑气势宏大，栩栩如生，面部表情都神态各异。在出土的陶俑中，没有两个陶俑的表情是完全相同的。古代匠人的手艺让真是让人叹为观止。

关于兵马俑还有各种奇闻轶事呢，最搞笑的要算那位德国小伙子冒充兵马俑了。2006年，一德国小伙子跑到了中国西安玩耍，大概是太爱兵马俑了，竟然花了一周时间自制服装，混入1号坑，跟真的兵马俑排排站。后来警察接到游客举报：“那个兵马俑眼睛会动唉!!”警察跑到坑里，找了他半天，可他仍旧保持不动，直到被发现后抬出坑外……虽然事情已经过去了十几年，但是其搞笑程度依然不减。

兵马俑是我国古代劳动人民智慧的结晶，被誉为“世界第八大奇迹”，是世界十大古墓稀世珍宝之一。如果有时间，您一定要去看一看。

Going abroad for Studies

The other day I announced that I would go abroad for further studies right after my college education. My decision evoked the immediate objection of my family： Why? Why should I borrow a huge sum of money for overseas studies while I might receive the same education at home at relatively low cost? My answer is： in addition to knowledge， I can gain experience that those who stay at home will never have.

First， experience is the opportunity for the real-life use of foreign languages. While a person can study a foreign language at home， the effect can never be compared with constant use of the language in academic and everyday life. There is no better opportunity to improve second-language skills than living in the country in which it is spoken. Living in English-speaking countries such as America and Australia for several years， for example， my English will be as perfect as native speakers.

Second， living and studying abroad offers me a different perspective of the world. On a university campus， foreign students are likely to encounter their counterparts from different countries and areas and are exposed to different ideas and values. This helps me to have a meaningful understanding of different societies and inevitably sees my own country in a new light.

Third， overseas experience， frustrating and painful as it may be， is helpful. A person going abroad for study often experiences much more difficulty——difficulty in adapting to a new culture and in dealing with all problems alone. Yet， the difficulty， coupled with the frustration brought on by culture shock， is a rewarding experience for ones future life and development of personality.

Although going abroad is expensive and perhaps painful， the payoff is worthwhile. For the benefit is not merely knowledge gained， but the experience desirable in ones personal life.

如果有一天，当传统村落只存在于记忆里，我们还能拿什么寄托乡愁?

近几年，流行语中一句“记得住乡愁”，曾勾起无数人的乡土记忆、亲情回味。“保卫乡村，留住乡愁”，对于疾步行走在工业化、城镇化快车道上的中国，更是一个紧迫且沉重的时代难题。

在网上公示7136个传统村落中，已有2555个正式进入国家保护的视野，这意味着保护工作上升到国家层面。但可悲的是，即便如此，依旧阻挡不住传统村落的濒危和被破坏。过度商业化，正在侵蚀传统村落。

另一个更令人沉痛的现实是，有些传统村落审定了，但村落的人越来越少，空巢化的逐渐渗透让只有外壳没有内核的传统村落丧失了生命力。

村民追求现代化的都市生活，对传统村落的保护价值缺乏认知和意识。另一方面，截至目前，我国还没有一项专门针对古村落开发与保护的法规条文，加之地方保护缺少行之有效的经验做法。有时候，都只能忍着疼痛，眼睁睁望着传统村落逐步在城镇化进程中走向衰落。

事实上，保护不是冻结，发展也不止于经济。

在一个拥有悠久农耕文明史的国家，千姿百态的传统村落秉承的文化底蕴太过厚重。凝结着历史的记忆，反映着文明的进步。乡村绝非城市经济文化的附庸，即便在新型城镇化建设进程中，留住传统村落也是不可遗忘的组成部分。同时，我们更要唤醒栖居于其中的村民的乡愁。

别等哪一天，传统村落濒临或是消失，继而只存在于记忆中时，才蓦然回首，原来我们已然失去寄托乡愁的本体。

莫高窟是甘肃的一个景点。那儿风景优美，有很多名胜古迹，是个迷人的地方。

莫高窟为什么这么惹人喜爱?因为那儿的壁画、佛像和洞口都很奇特。

先说那儿的壁画。那儿的壁画只能用一个词来形容，那就是“世界闻名”。一幅幅精美的壁画栩栩如生地摆在我们面前。画中的人有的聊天，有的骑马，有的吃东西，还有的放纸鸢，好像真的一样!

再说那儿的佛像，真是千姿百态，各种各样。有的懒洋洋地躺在“床上”，好像睡着了一样;有的蹲坐在一个大石头上，好像在念经;还有的佛像一丝不苟地站在那儿，好像在守卫着老百姓的平安。嘿，真有趣!

还有一个不可缺少的东西——洞口。莫高窟的洞口很特别，高的矮的、大的小的都有。洞口还很精美，上面刻着龙、蛇、蜥蜴等爬行动物，简直是鬼斧神工!

你看，这儿是多么迷人，多么美丽。我相信，经过人们世世代代的保护，以后的莫高窟一定会更加迷人，它的美一定会流传下去!
