中国文化与美国文化的不同的英语作文（热门20篇）

My dream is to study abroad in the future. I am always that kind of life can come true soon. But, before I realize my dream, I have to do some preparation. I think the most important thing I need to do first is to adapt the life there.

It is said that there is a big difference between the eastern and western culture.

If I know nothing, it is easy for me to have culture conflict. It will put me into an embarrass place. For example, dragon is the leader for all animals and it has holy good meaning in china. But it means violence in the western country.

I need to learn as much the cultural conflicts as possible to make my oversea life become easier.

我的梦想是以后可以去留学。我总是希望那样的生活能早日成真。但是，在实现梦想之前，我得做一些准备工作。我想我首先需要做的是适应那里的生活。据说东西方文化是有差异的。如果我什么都不知道，很容易发生文化冲突。这会置我于一个尴尬的地方。例如，龙是在中国是万兽之王，有着无比神圣的意义。但是在西方国家则是暴力的象征。我要尽量了解的文化冲突，这样我的留学生活才会变得更简单。

[初中英语作文：东西方文化差异

颐和园是我国著名的世界文化遗产之一，它位于北京市西北近郊海淀区，是利用昆明湖、万寿山为基址，以杭州西湖风景为蓝本，汲取江南园林设计手法和意境建成的一座大型天然山水园，也是保存的最为完整的一座皇家行宫御苑，占地约290公顷。

走进颐和园内，那栩栩如生的铜牛便映入眼帘，在阳光的照耀下金光闪闪。

关于铜牛，还有不少有趣的传说了。其中《天上人间话铜牛》最为有趣。晚清贪图享乐的慈禧太后，她把自己比作天上国母王母娘娘。在扩建颐和园时，她曾传下御旨，要将颐和园修成“天上人间”。佛香阁象征天宫，昆明湖好比天河，八方亭和龙王庙一带便是人间了。既然有天宫天河，当然要有牛郎和织女了。为此，她见昆明湖东堤已经安置了铜牛，能够象征牛郎，所以又在石舫的旁边，建起了织女亭。铜牛的身子朝东，头扭向西北，正好冲着织女亭所在方向，以昆明湖(天河)为界，便暗合了牛郎和织女美丽动人的故事传说。

接着走，夺人眼球的便是那十七孔桥，因为石桥有十七个桥洞。它是连接昆明湖东岸与南湖岛的一座长桥，桥栏杆的石柱上雕刻着五百多只姿态不一、栩栩如生的小狮子。它是古代桥梁建筑的杰作。

但最引人注目的是那长廊，它全长728米，共273间，有548根柱子，长廊在万寿山南麓和昆明湖北岸之间，是世界上最长的长廊。走进长廊，扶着涂满红漆的柱子向上望，顶上有许许多多精美绝伦的画，画的是古典名著上的故事，有的画的是可爱小巧的动物，有的是风水画，一万四千余幅画中而且没有一副相同的画，所有的画都活灵活现，像印上去的一样。让人流连忘返，看的我痴了、醉了，我竟忘了我还得继续向前走去……

最后，就是那风趣的苏州街了。它被翡翠般的小河分开成两半，两岸的道路极其狭窄，只能容下两个人……

颐和园还有好多好玩的地方，说也说不尽，道也道不完，快来看看吧!

随着莫言获得了诺贝尔文学奖，我国首次摘下了久违的桂冠。是时候让中国文学走出国门，与国际文化接轨了。最近有人提出设立"李太白文学奖"让我们的作品走向世界，从而促进文化交流，的确，对此我十分赞同。

反对者会认为东西方文化的差异会是设立此奖项的巨大障碍，中国文化的现状也对此限制严重。但他们只知其一，不知其二，对形势的不清，将左右他们正确的判断而酿成大错。没有两种文化是完全相同或是截然不同的。不要忘记曾经的日耳曼人、匈奴、哥特人。这些在古罗马古希腊文明看做是野蛮人的群落，最终还是相互融合，但至今欧洲列国仍存在大大小小的差异。这就好比我们的文学作品，文化差异总能消除。至于我国文学现状，设立此奖的目的就是解决这一顽疾，如果我们一再推脱，只会加速我们的文学陷入深渊。

当然设立"李太白文学奖",并不是像某些野心家一样，争夺文学上的话语权，再拟定一套以自己价值观为基础的判定标准，用苛刻的眼光去判定外国人的好文章。因为我们的目的只是将自己的好文章好作品推向世界，让人们共同去欣赏去享受。而不是像殖民者，同坚船利炮打开殖民地的市场，推销商品。

因为莫言作品的获奖，我们的作品已经引起了外国人的兴趣，趁此时机，大可以乘着莫言的东风，将更多的作品与外国友人交流，这样东西方相对独立的文化氛围可以融合起来，碰撞出思维的火花。我国昔日的百家争鸣的繁荣景象，不都是在相互的交流中博采众长，在讨论时，无形地推动了文化发展。试想，如果他们像现在一样封闭自守，哪还有诸子百家流传下来的众多经典之作。

在我们加强文化交流的同时，是一个西方人了解我们的过程，我们与西方人在意识形态上的差异，让他们在潜意识里对我们有抵触。我们需要做的，就是消除这种隔膜。而只有在他们了解我们的思想方法之后，一切就水到渠成了。将我们的《四书》《五经》送入西方，让他们了解无形中影响着我们的儒文化或是看看更接近天下苍生的《墨子》亦可以在修养身心时读读《老子》《易经》，潜移默化中西方人慢慢接受我们，以后就能拿公正的眼光判定我们。

当然在国际间作用巨大，在国内最广泛的群众文化，此举也算一步好棋。乘势而上，我们可以鼓励更多有才情的人投入文学，唤醒人们心中对本土文化的热爱。当群众有了文学基础，提升中国文坛自然指日可待，接着中国文学的地位将稳步提高，明显这俨然形成了一个良性的循环，也是每一位有志之士希望看到的。

所以我认为设立"李太白文学奖"是一个有益的举动，对提升中国文化软实力与在国际上的地位都帮助很大。

为什么美国文化是独特的

American culture is unique because it is nurtured， formed and developed under certain conditions， which are characteristically（特性）American. The major factors contributing to the making of this new nation and the forming of a new culture are the hard environment， ethnic diversity（多民族） and plural religion， which is quite different from other nations in the world. What is more， these elements are still influencing the American culture.

1. Rough Environment

The early immigrants who were English Puritans settled down in northeast part of American. The environment there was very rough but they believed the poor land could purify their mind so they chose the place along the coast. From 1607 to 1892， frontiers were pushed further west. The American frontier consisted of the relatively unsettled regions of the United States， usually found in the western part of the country. The frontiersmen looked for a land of rich resources and a land of promise， opportunity and freedom. Actually they looked for a better life. So individualism， self-reliance， and equality of opportunity have perhaps been the values most closely associated with the frontier heritage（遗产） of American.

2. Ethnic Diversity

The population of the United States includes a large variety of ethnic groups coming from many races， nationalities， and religions. People refer to the United States as "melting pot "and the dominant people are British. American is made up of WASP MM， that is， White， Anglo Saxon， Protestants plus Middle Class and Male. In history， people from different countries in the world rushed to American three times. They brought their own culture to American and later on different cultures were mixed together. Thus the unique American culture is formed， a common cultural life with commonly shared values.

3. Plural religion

The fundamental American belief in individual freedom and the right of individuals to practice their own religion is at the center of religious experience in the United States. The great diversity of ethnic backgrounds has produced religious pluralism； almost all of the religions of the world are now practiced in the United States. Christianity（基督教） is the dominant religion in American and Protestant （新教）is predominate（主导）。 Any individuals are equal before God and they believe they can communicate directly to God so they can share the same idea. Under the protestant， many new ones are formed and different explanations produce different sect of religion. Churches are independent and American religion is no longer religion seculars. The institution permits the practice of religion and the political power is separate form religion. So there are more religions in American than in other countries.

4. Current influence：

Nowadays， we can see the continual influence of the three elements in the current American society. American family is typically parents and their unmarried children. Middle-aged and elderly people generally do not live with their married children. Many Americans live in mobile homes whose homes are built with wheels. They can be moved. The people in American have a very strong desire to start a new life in a new place. Quite a number of people change residences（住所） every year. The average American moves fourteen times in his lifetime. The courage to try something new has been an American characteristic. American democracy means majority rule， but it also means protection of minority rights. There are certain freedom which the United States promises to all its citizens and members of minority group cannot be denied these rights by a vote of the majority. Americans also like to be involved in many challenge activities and sports to show their adventurous spirits. All of these are affected by the heritage of the American history.

From the facts above， we can see American culture is unique which was cultivated， formed and developed by the main three factors， rough environment， ethnic diversity and plural religion and still is affected and determined by them now.

美国人最喜欢的小食品鸡翅

From its humble beginnings and unlikely origins， the chicken wing has become one of Americas best-loved snack foods.

The chicken wing first evolved from soup stock staple to American delicacy in 1964. John E. Harmon， in his Atlas of Popular Culture of the Northeastern United States， points to the Anchor Bar in Buffalo， N.Y. as the birthplace of wings. In 40- plus years， chicken wings have become a truly all-American food， showing up on dinner tables， at neighborhood bars， and in chain restaurants， pizza joints and even restaurants where the wings themselves are the focus.

Pace Foods has improved on the original formula for chicken wings with a recipe that combines the spice of Pace Picante Sauce， the sweetness of honey and the zest of fresh ginger to create Hot `nHoneyed Chicken Wings.

"Pace Picante Sauce isnt just for dipping，"said Chris Foley with Pace Foods. "A recipe like Hot `nHoneyed Chicken Wings， which combines sweet and spicy flavors of the Old Southwest and the Far East， shows how versatile， and yet how easy， it can be in cooking."

With this recipe， Pace Foods had taken the delicacy created in snowy Buffalo and made it the perfect summer food.

鸡翅越来越成为美国人最喜欢的小食品。1964年的时候它首先是在汤里出现的。John E. Harmon在他的美国东北部通俗文化地图集里指出鸡翅已经成为全美真正的食物，它在晚餐桌上，在邻居酒吧里，在连锁餐饮店里，在比萨店里，甚至在一些餐馆里它是主打菜。

美国 Alagnak Wild River（奔河）

Alagnak Wild River is located in the beautiful Aleutian Range. The river provides unparalleled opportunities to experience the wilderness of the Alaska Peninsula.

The Alagnak Wild River， designated as a wild river by Title VI， Section 601（25） and 603（44） of ANILCA， preserves the upper 56 miles of the river in a free-flowing condition， and protects the river and its immediate environments for the benefit and enjoyment of present and future generations. The river is managed free of impoundments and diversion， inaccessible by road， its shorelines primitive and its water unpolluted. The Alagnak is the most popular fly-in fishery in southwest Alaska， and has experienced a significant increase in use over the last several years. The Alagnak Wild River protects populations of all five species of pacific salmon， was well as significant rainbow trout， arctic char， arctic grayling， and northern pike populations. The increasing sport fishery on the river is a topic of concern to many subsistence users and other local residents.

夏天是美国人旅游的好季节

Its summertime， and the livinis easy. For many Americans， this is the season to travel. Why？ Because school is out. Because the weather is great. And most of all， because we all deserve a break. When Americans take a break， they often head for their favorite vacation spot.

Throughout their history， Americans have been people on the move. The early immigrants had to travel to get to the New World. Once they arrived， they settled along the East Coast. But they werent content to stay there. Explorers and traders journeyed to the unknown western territories. Later， settlers moved west to develop these new areas. As a result of this westward migration， Americans eventually occupied the whole continent-from the Atlantic to the Pacific. Even today， Americans seem unable to stay put. Research says that the average American moves every five years.

Besides their habit of changing addresses， Americans are used to traveling. Some people make long-distance commutes to work daily. Their jobs may even require them to take frequent business trips. Most companies provide an annual vacation for their employees， and people often use that time to travel. Some people just visit friends or relatives in distant states. Others go on low-budget weekend excursions and stay in economy motels. Those with more expensive tastes choose luxurious resorts and hotels. Camping out in the great outdoors appeals to adventurous types. Some travel in recreational vehicles （RVs） to camp out in comfort， while others "rough it"by sleeping in tents.

Most Americans prefer to travel within their nations borders. Why？ For one thing， its cheaper than traveling abroad， and theres no language problem. But besides that， the vast American territory offers numerous tourist attractions. Nature lovers can enjoy beaches， mountains， canyons， lakes and a wealth of natural wonders. Major cities offer visitors a multitude of urban delights. The convenience of modern freeways， railways and airplanes makes travel in America as easy as pie.

Many American vacations are as unique as the people who take them. Families often plan their trips with the kids in mind. More and more "family friendly"vacation resorts offer special programs for children. History buffs seek out famous historical sites and museums. Environmentalists prefer "green vacations."These trips allow them to observe flora and fauna up-close without disturbing the sensitive balance of nature. Some people find sea cruises relaxing and refreshing. Others hit the water to go fishing， skiing or white-water rafting. Daring souls get the thrill of a lifetime on trekking expeditions and safaris in remote places from Africa to Asia.

Americans arent the only people in the world who travel. International business， mass communication and jet airplanes have created a world of globetrotters. People all over the world enjoy going abroad to travel. And no matter where they live， people enjoy visiting scenic spots in their own country. But being on the go makes Americans what they are： people on the move. In America， almost every-body is a tourist sometime.

夏天到了，生活很惬意。对很多美国人来说，这是个旅游的季节，为什么？因为学校放假，因为天气很好，但最重要的是，休个假是我们所应得的。美国人休假时经常会去他们最喜欢的渡假地点。

纵观整个历史，美国人一直是个迁移的民族。早期的移民者必须长途跋涉才能抵达新大陆，他们一到达就沿着东岸定居，但却不满于长居那地，冒险家和商人旅行至未知的西部地区。稍后，移民者也向西迁移去开发这些新地区。由于向西迁移，美国人最后占据了整块新大陆——从大西洋到太平洋。即使到今天，美国人似乎仍然无法在一地久居。根据研究，美国人平均每五年要搬一次家。

除了搬家的习惯以外，美国人也很习惯旅行。有些人每天上下班得做长距离的通勤，工作上甚至经常需要因公旅行。大部分的公司每年会提供年假给员工，人们通常会利用这段时间去旅行。有些人去远一点的别州拜访朋友或亲戚，有些则在周末有个经济的小假期，并住在花费不高的旅馆里。品味较昂贵的人选择豪华的渡假地点和饭店；绝佳的户外露营则吸引冒险型的人。有些人开着旅行车出游，以舒适的方式露营；有些人则睡帐篷尝试野外生活。

大部分美国人比较喜欢在国内旅游，为什么呢？其中一个原因是，国内旅游比国外旅游便宜，也没有语言不通的问题。但除此原因以外，占地极广的美国国土提供了许多能吸引游客的地点。爱好大自然的人可以到海滩、山上、峡谷、湖泊和很多大自然奇景地区游览。大城市也提供给游客们很多都市型态的娱乐。现代高速公路、铁路和飞机使得在美国旅行很容易。

很多美国假期非常特别，和参与此种假期的人一样特别。全家出游时通常会将孩子考虑在内，有愈来愈多「适合全家出游」的渡假地点为孩子提供特别的活动。对历史有兴趣的人会找一些著名的历史据点和博物馆。有环保意识的人喜欢「环保假期」，这样的旅行使他们能近距离观察动植物，并且不会扰乱了大自然敏感的生态平衡。有些人觉得海上旅游能使心情放松并感到清爽，有些人则到水边钓鱼、滑水或泛舟。胆子大的人到亚洲和非洲去探险狩猎作长途旅行，享受一辈子难得一次的刺激。

美国人不是世上唯一爱旅行的人。国际企业、大众传播与喷射机创造了一个环游世界者的世纪。全世界的人都喜欢到海外旅游，不管住在那里，人们都喜欢去造访自己国家内风景优美的地区。不过好动的本性使美国人变成今天的模样：成为爱迁移的人。在美国，几乎每个人都有旅游的经验。

美式食物：吃什么就成为什么样子

"You are what you eat."Nutrition experts often use this saying to promote better eating habits. What we put in our mouths does become a part of us. But we can look at this statement another way. What we eat reflects who we are——as people and as a culture. Do you want to understand another culture？ Then you ought to find out about its food. Learning about American food can give us a real taste of American culture.

What is "American food"？ At first you might think the answer is easy as pie. To many people， American food means hamburgers， hot dogs， fried chicken and pizza. If you have a "sweet tooth，"you might even think of apple pie or chocolate chip cookies. Its true that Americans do eat those things. But are those the only kind of vittles you can find in America？

Except for Thanksgiving turkey， its hard to find a typically "American"food. The United States is a land of immigrants. So Americans eat food from many different countries. When people move to America， they bring their cooking styles with them. Thats why you can find almost every kind of ethnic food in America. In some cases， Americans have adopted foods from other countries as favorites. Americans love Italian pizza， Mexican tacos and Chinese egg rolls. But the American version doesnt taste quite like the original！

As with any large country， the U.S.A has several distinct regions. Each region boasts its own special style of food. Visit the South and enjoy country-style cooking. Journey through Louisiana for some spicy Cajun cuisine. Take a trip to New England and sample savory seafood dishes. Travel through the Midwest， "the breadbasket of the nation，"for delicious baked goods. Cruise over to the Southwest and try some tasty Tex-Mex treats. Finish your food tour in the Pacific Northwest with some gourmet coffee.

Americans living at a fast pace often just "grab a quick bite."Fast food restaurants offer people on the run everything from fried chicken to fried rice. Microwave dinners and instant foods make cooking at home a snap. Of course， one of the most common quick American meals is a sandwich. If it can fit between two slices of bread， Americans probably make a sandwich out of it. Peanut butter and jelly is an all-time American favorite.

Americans on the go also tend to eat a lot of "junk food."Potato chips， candy bars， soft drinks and other goodies are popular treats. Many people eat too many of these unhealthy snacks. But others opt for more healthy eating habits. Some even go "all natural."They refuse to eat any food prepared with chemicals or additives.

American culture is a good illustration of the saying "you are what you eat."Americans represent a wide range of backgrounds and ways of thinking. The variety of foods enjoyed in the U.S. reflects the diversity of personal tastes. The food may be international or regional. Sometimes its fast， and sometimes its not so fast. It might be junk food， or maybe its natural food. In any case， the style is all-American.

"你吃什么就成为什么样子"营养专家经常使用这句话来倡导更好的饮食习惯，入嘴的东西确实成为我们的一部分。但我们也可以从另一个角度来看这句话，我们所吃的反映出我们自己——不论就人或文化而言。你想了解另一种文化吗？那么你应该去认识他们的食物。认识美国食物可以让我们得知美国文化的精髓。

何谓「美式食物」？乍听之下你可能认为答案容易得很。对许多人而言，美式食物就是汉堡、热狗、炸鸡和披萨。如果你是好吃甜食的人，你可能会想到苹果派或巧克力片饼干。美国人确实吃这些东西，但这些就是你在美国唯一找得到的食物吗？

除了感恩节火鸡以外，挺难找到典型的美国食物。美国是个移民之地，所以美国人吃的食物来自许多不同的国家，当人们移居美国，他们也将自己的烹调带了进来。那也就是为什么在美国你几乎可以看到所有不同民族的食物。在某些情况中，美国人把外国的食物视为最爱。美国人喜爱意大利的披萨，墨西哥的玉米饼和中国的春卷，但是这些东西的美国版味道却不很道地！

和许多大国一样，美国有数个截然不同的地区，每个地区都以自己特有的食物夸口。走访美国南部享受乡村式的烹调；到路易斯安纳州品尝辛辣的凯郡式料理；走一趟新英格兰试尝它美味的海鲜；再到中西部「美国的面包之乡」品尝可口的烘培食品；乘船游览至西南部尝试一些好吃的墨式德州小吃，最后到太平洋西北岸，啜饮美食家的咖啡，作为美食之旅的句点。

生活在快速步调之下的美国人通常只能「很快地吃几口」。快餐店提供赶时间的人各种食物，从炸鸡到炒饭，应有尽有。微波炉晚餐和实时餐点使得在家烧饭省事又快速。当然，最平常的美式速餐之一就是三明治。任何能夹在两片土司中间的东西，美国人就可以把它作成一份三明治，花生酱和果酱更是一直都深受美国人的喜爱。

忙碌的美国人也趋向于吃一大堆「垃圾食物」。洋芋片、糖果、汽水和其它好吃的东西都颇受欢迎。许多人吃了太多这类不健康的零嘴，但是其它人则选择较健康的饮食习惯，有些人甚至选择「全天然」的食物，他们拒绝吃任何有化学制品或添加物的食物。

美国文化是「你吃什么就成为什么样子」这句话的好写照。美国人代表了范围广泛的背景和想法。在美国可享受到的各式食物正反映出个人品味的多样化。这食物可能是国际性也可能是地区性的；有时是快餐，有时也不见得；它可能是垃圾食物，也可能是天然食品。然而无论如何，它们都是美式的。

[美国独特文化作文及翻译

今年元宵节我和妈妈看舞龙，我看见那望不到尾的布龙，就像一条无尾龙。好不容易看完布龙，我想回家了，但是又“飞”来了荷花龙。荷花龙把我的脚给勾住了，不让我走，我只好有看着他们舞龙。

荷花龙犹如一条五彩缤纷的绳子，这条“绳子”是由许多人拿着假荷花构成的，。之后来了一条板凳龙。这条板凳龙是很多人举着板凳从我们眼前“飞”过，此时我想起了一个故事：很久以前有一个勤劳善良的夫妇，男的叫百叶，女的叫荷花，他们相敬相爱，他们住在荷花村。这年荷花怀孕了，过了是十来月，孩子却没生下来，又过了一年，还是没有生下来，直到九百九十九天，才生了一个男骇。百叶见孩子生得端正健壮，他好喜爱，仔细一瞧，倒是错愕不已：孩子的胸部和脊背上长着细细的龙鳞，金光闪闪，有九百九十九片。旁边的人看见了，就喊着：“你生了个龙种。”过了很长时刻小龙的身体渐渐变大，化作了数十丈的长龙，飞上天空。自此以后，每逢干旱，小龙就来散云播雨。百姓为了它，就采摘了七七四十九朵荷花，用了九百九十九片花瓣，制作成一条花龙。每年春节，老百姓就要敲锣打鼓来舞龙。舞龙的创造和流传是全中华民族光辉历史的一部分，为我们的民族和人民所喜爱。

我觉得中国的传统文化十分搞笑，你也能够查一查，你会发现中国传统文化有多么丰富多彩。

中国的传统文化博大精深，源远流长。今天，我来为大家介绍一下传统文化之一：五月五日端午节的来由。

公元前287年，楚国的爱国诗人屈原，不愿看到楚国沦亡，不原看到楚国的百姓受秦国的残害和欺压，于是在五月初五那天，抱了块大石头投过了汩罗江中。当地老百姓得到这个噩耗，都很悲痛，争先恐后的来打捞屈原的尸体。也不知来了多少船，打捞了多少时间，也一无所获。有人对着江面，把盛在竹筒里的米撒了下去，算是祭祀屈原。第二年五月初五那一天，当地的百姓想起这是屈原投江一周年的日子，又划船去把盛在竹筒里的米撒到水里，祭祀他。后来，他们把划小船改成赛龙舟，把撒盛在竹筒里米改为包粽子。这种纪念活动一直延续到现在，成为中国的传统节日——端午节。

以前，粽子要自己包，可现在只要去超市里就可以买到各种口味的粽子。有肉的，有红枣的，还有花生的，各种各样数不清。

过端午节时，从电视上可以看到各地的龙舟大赛，选手们你追我赶，敲锣打鼓，可真热闹呀！

中国的传统文化真是让我赞叹不巳！

新的一年又到了，我们也长大一岁了，也正所谓是“爆竹声中一岁除，春风送暖入屠苏”，也表示着我们应该更加懂事，也应该学会为大人们多做点事，多帮大人们排忧解难，按照中国的习俗我们每年都要放鞭炮、写贴对联、剪贴春花、吃团圆饭等等，我原来可是最喜欢放鞭炮，但是我今年长大了，要学会做更有意义的事，于是我开始写对联。

我和妈妈在网上搜到了好多对联，都是对新的一年的祝福，也都是对新的一年的希望，最终我们还是挑了这一对——“万里春光五彩画，一声鸡韵九州春。”我拿起一张红纸慢慢地平整的放在桌子上，又拿起毛笔，蘸了蘸墨水，仔细的蕴量着，凭借我少年练毛笔的功底，我紧张了，我认为我写不好，于是在，毛笔本上练了一下，但还是感觉状态不佳，于是我和我妈一个人写一个字，我小心翼翼的写着“万”，生怕有什么差错，过了大概2分钟“万”字终于正确端正的被我写好了，我老妈写的“里”字也不赖，写的又快又好，我开始写“春”了，一会儿我上半部分已经写好了，在我写最后一笔时，钝笔没钝好，又要重写了，我又激动又难过，最后一次终于写好了。

写好了对联，该轮到我贴了，我站在凳子上小心翼翼的拿着对联和透明胶，一步一步慢慢的贴了上去，我站在门口一看，心里可乐开了花，心想这是我自己写的，是我有史以来第一次这样做，也是第一次做这么有意义的事。我不但喜欢写贴对联，还喜欢剪贴窗花。

我从抽屉中拿出许多彩色的圆纸，再把他们对着再对折，在上面剪出你喜欢的图片，我在第一张红色的纸上剪出一只小公鸡在欢乐的叫着，也顺应着在鸡年应该阖家欢乐、幸福。在第二张纸上我想了很久，最终我剪了一个孩子在放烟花，这个剪得可花了有些时间，我也剪得最认真，剪好之后我对它也最满意。

中国文化习俗是多么的博大精深，我也是越来越喜欢春节了！

American citizens emphasize on achievements and respect heroes.They have great sense in their hearts to praise success and heroes.Personal achievements are one of those with the highest value in Americans mind.Americans have very strong senses of success.Success is the pursuit of most Americans,it is their attractive future and the incentives for moving forward.They believe that ones personal value is equivalent to his achievements in his career.Some high achievers in their career such as entrepreneurs,scientists,artists and all kinds of super starts became modern heroes.The process and result of how they strived have become the frame of reference of social culture value and the real life text book for parents to educate their children.

when i was a little child, i had many dreams. i wanted to be rich, so that i can live in a big and beautiful house. i can go everywhere by car. but now, my dream seems to be better and more realistic. i hope i can have a good job. it will not take much of my time, although i can’t earn much. every year, i have holidays to travel. traveling is my favorite and it can reduce my pressure. it’s good for my life. therefore, i hope traveling can be a part of my future life.

我从来都向往莫高窟，向往它的故事。

公元366年，一个叫乐的和尚来到敦煌莫高窟，时值傍晚，云游四方的他想找个地方安歇。当他不经意昂头仰望峰顶时，看到三危山金光灿烂，像有千佛显灵。激动万分的他手持锡杖，向金光虔诚一拜，决定在此筑窟造像。于是，越来越多的人，上至帝王，下至平民，都将自己的信仰筑成一个个洞窟。年复一年，这里成了名副其实的佛教圣地。

如今，我就站在它面前，看着依山而筑、蜿蜒十几里的莫高窟。信步跨过洞窟的门槛，只见光线暗淡的洞窟中，不论是墙壁还是龛顶，甚至地面上，到处都绘有婀娜多姿的飞天、姿态各异的佛。几乎每个洞窟都有释迦牟尼及其大弟子的塑像，表情泰然自若，栩栩如生。据说敦煌莫高窟区域内有洞窟700多座，为什么古人要建筑如此众多的洞窟，而里面的内容又千篇一律呢?

仅仅是因为乐和尚所见的“佛光普照”吗?

不是的。我想那只是一个开始。古时的人们为了平安幸福，在精神上需要有所寄托，于是，宗教应运而生。人们把所有的愿望都寄托于佛祖，为表达自己的虔诚，在这里凿筑一个个洞窟，拓宽自己的信仰道路。这也许就是精神的皈依吧。

走出又走进一个个洞窟，我的大脑渐趋恍惚。光影、色彩间的匆匆变幻，似乎将我带入一个又一个时空。之前所见是青褐浑厚的色泽和豪放粗犷的笔触，此时忽转变为精细流畅的工笔，瑰丽的色彩，妖娆的造型，仿佛壁画上的人物、鸟兽、繁花一下子被注入了鲜活生命似的，所有的雕塑都像是有了脉搏和呼吸。我屏住呼吸，无法想象当年那么多的能工巧匠在如此荒凉干涸的地方，经年累月地雕刻、上色、绘画，忘我地描摹心中的佛祖和人间幻景的情景，我也无法感知曾经在这里长久驻扎甚至终老的能工巧匠的艰辛、寂寞与虔诚……

恍惚中又回到现实，我不知不觉走入第148窟。正对窟门，便是佛祖释迦牟尼的涅像：侧身躺卧佛坛之上，两肩舒张，双足合拢，左手很自然地搭在身上，右手则垫在头部之下，表情自然，面含笑意，双眼微张，泰然自若。传说佛祖在向百千弟子讲经说法时，打坐的身体忽然如我所描绘的样子躺下。弟子们十分惊慌，叫师父也不应，结果众多弟子失声痛哭，只有几个年长弟子面目安详，喜悦地为佛祖恭贺：佛祖涅，代表着他将与天地融为一体，与日月同辉……

在世人看来，佛祖的涅神秘而不可信。世俗的人，谁又能对佛家和佛事了解得清楚呢?谁又相信成佛之人的精神和肉体能够如此和谐统一，进而升华到一个超自然的境地呢?大多数现代人的肉身被繁复琐事所围困，心灵被阴郁烦忧所笼罩，或拼命工作，或埋头苦读，肉体和精神都受到折磨。而当我们看到、想到涅的佛祖时，不知我们的心灵会不会受到震撼。

莫高窟的历史和文化内涵太深，底蕴太厚重，只有虔诚的心灵，仔细体察的眼睛和穿梭历史时空的思索，才无愧于这片佛教圣地。

说起茶，茶在中国已有几千年的历史，渐渐的，茶成为一种文化。茶的种类真是数不胜数，有香气怡人的龙井，美容养颜的黑茶和美味的菊花茶等茶。今天，我们就来分享分享茶吧!

在我们生活中，泡一杯茶是再普通不过的事了。茶叶像一位发烧着的老人，把自己紧紧包裹成一条儿，没有一点精神。但是，取少许茶放入杯中，当热水冲入杯中的一刹那，茶叶从梦中苏醒了，顿时活力四射……我看到杯底的茶叶像一艘艘小艇，刷的一下从被杯底往上窜;有的悠悠曼舞，浮在水面;有的在水中来回穿梭，悬于杯中;还有的挨挨挤挤，谁都不让谁。

端起茶杯，一股淡淡的浓烟迅速腾起，这烟雾中包含着茶叶的清香，一丝一缕，轻轻飘入鼻子里。我抿了一小口茶，先是一丝苦涩在舌尖掠过，随之带来的是一阵甘甜，这甘甜不同于其他甘甜，是一丝丝的，如山中的泉水，蕴含着一阵阵清香。这清香令人心旷神怡，陶醉在其中。我连忙合上嘴，生怕清香从嘴里泄出来。

品味着这清香的茶，我仿佛也品味到了人生，人生就像一杯茶，先是苦涩的，苦涩之后有一阵甘甜直沁肺腑，就像人生刚开始时坎坷的，但坎坷风波过后就会成功。这不是验证了一句话“不经久风雨，怎能见彩虹?”吗?

秦始皇陵，位于陕西省临潼县城东约五公里处，南依骊山，北临渭水。

秦始皇兵马俑博物馆，在陵园城东门外。距陵墓一公里半。大厅里陈列着许多和真人真马同样大小的陶人和陶马。说起秦俑来，还有一段传说哩。

据说，在秦以前，关中人不使用瓦盆瓦罐，当时也没有陶制器物。秦始皇二十二岁正式执政后，就下令大规模地修建他的陵墓。他察看过许多地方，最后看中了骊山。骊山风光秀丽，加上山阴产玉，山阳多金，金玉双全，正符合他的迷信思想，所以把墓地定在骊山北麓。他不仅从全国调来七十多万“刑徒”，还从山东、河南等地征发来大量民夫。修建期间，秦始皇还下诏书叫李斯提前征集数千对童男童女准备为他殉葬。李斯看了诏书，吓得目瞪口呆。他想，要征集这么多童男童女殉葬，必然会遭到百姓反对，人们一旦起来造反，秦朝江山就会垮台。但是如果不办，皇帝降罪下来，自己就活不了。想来想去，只得上书秦始皇说：“臣李斯，冒死直言，君征人殉，必引骚乱，不如陶殉，江山平安。”秦始皇见了，觉得有道理。他还想，如让活人殉葬，在阴间不听调遣，死后也不得安宁。于是改变原意，立即下旨令李斯征集全国能工巧匠，烧成规模庞大的出巡仪仗队，要求把陶人、陶马制得和真人真马一样大小。

九天过去，李斯从民夫中抽调出数百名烧制砖瓦的工匠，向他们宣读了圣旨，命令他们按期烧好陶人、陶马。

但是，抽调来的工匠谁也没做过陶人陶马，只会烧砖瓦。他们试烧多次都烧坏了，有一百多名工匠被砍了头。就在这批被杀的工匠中，有个老工匠想出个法儿，他在临死前告诉他的儿子，要他单窑分段烧制。儿子含泪埋了父亲，按照父亲生前嘱咐，单窑单俑分段烧，烧成后再组合。经过几次试烧，终于烧成了。

这个方法试验成功后，工匠们齐心协力，经过日以继夜的苦干，几千件陶人、陶马终于按期如数烧制好了，并按照李斯的要求，把陶俑排成整齐的队形。

秦始皇驾崩，秦二世胡亥继承了帝位。他怕修建工匠泄露墓中秘密，便暗地把秦始皇灵柩运入墓中，然后下令叫所有参加修。建陵墓的人，一齐到墓中看戏，并领赏赐。可怜那些流血流汗、为修建秦始皇陵墓卖过大力的工匠、民夫和刑徒，全上了秦二世的当。他们刚刚走进陵墓，便被封闭在墓中，成了殉葬品。传说只有一个人逃了出来，这人就是第一个制成陶俑的青年小伙子。原来，秦始皇陵墓里的水道是他修砌的。他见事情不妙，便钻进水道，等到天黑才逃了出来。后来他流浪关中，给人们烧制瓦盆、瓦罐和瓦瓮为生。

直到如今，这些陶制品还很受关中人们的欢迎哩。

[中国传统文化的作文小学三年级

中国是一个具有五千多年历史的文明古国，中国的传统文化源远流长。

传统文化如一缕轻风，轻抚我们的脸颊，让我们不得不对它微笑；传统文化像一个故事，向我们招着双手，让我们不得不去阅读；传统文化似一杯清茶，清香诱惑着我们，让我们不得不细细品尝。是啊，传统文化就是这样，只是保持着原来的姿态，就能够让我们如此着迷，激起我们的好奇心，使我们在不知不觉中就已经去了解它，想要把它理解透，让它永存心中。

现如今，随着科技的发展，高新产品的入侵，我们的生活比起民主主义革命时期，已经发生了翻天覆地的变化。人民的生活水平也提高了许多。有人说：当今世界都已发展起来了，国与国之间的交流也越来越频繁，而我们中国应放弃传统思想，不要一成不变的守着原来的，多过过西方的节日，比如情人节、圣诞节等，应该跟着时尚的步伐走。也有人说：现在科技这么发达，不需要再用手写汉字，直接聊微信、发QQ、打电话得了，还不用写信那么麻烦，很快就能够收到回信。还有人说：我们现在住的都是高楼大厦，不愁吃不愁穿的，一出门就能买到东西，不用像以前那样要去很久才能回来。所以我们不用发扬“艰苦奋斗，勤俭节约，努力创新”的精神，我们应该注重现实，好好享受就行了。

事实恍若如此。

不过如今的发展是靠什么来的？

据报道，曾在重庆出现了一群具有“棒棒精神”的人群，他们用自己的身体担负雇主的信任。有一位“棒棒”由于肩负重担，与自己的雇主走散了，这位“棒棒”最后又回到原点等待雇主回来，此时正值初秋，天空又飘着蒙蒙细雨，凉风飕飕，时间一分一分地过去，直到天降夜幕，这位棒棒终于等到雇主回来寻找。而这位“棒棒”俨然已似一只落汤鸡，直打哆嗦。雇主只是抱着试一试的态度回来寻找，而当得知“棒棒”为了等候自己，已是半天的等待，生怕雇主找不到一直没有挪动位置。

秋风中“棒棒”的等待，已然站成一种精神——“棒棒精神”！信任与坚守，朴实与奉献。这不就是中国传统文化的体现么？时间流逝，精神长存，这就是中国的魂，传统文化的精髓，才有了上下五千年流淌的文明历史。所以，作为中学生的我们，应该学习祖国的传统文化，提高对传统文化的认识，让传统文化永驻心间！

Chinese, is a long civilization; China, is a country with a population of one billion and three hundred million; Chinese, once there are hundreds of millions of poor population eat enough to eat; China, is a weak being bullied!

Due to the decline of country, for many years, Chinese suppressed by foreigners ridiculed as the "sick man of East asia". It caused our anger. Our ancestors after more than 100 years of waging struggle, finally made Chinese in Chinese under the leadership of the Communist Party, the sleeping lion rise up from a nightmare, stand proudly roaring. The thirty years after the reform and opening up, in China under the leadership of the Communist Party, we found the correct road of building socialism with Chinese characteristics; these thirty years, we make two hundred million people out of poverty, the realization of food and clothing, the whole society has entered a well-off stage; in the thirty years, the development speed of China is unprecedented; the thirty years we, the national strength has greatly increased, no one said China is "sick man of East Asia", no one any insult us; this thirty years, we make all attempts to lure and force Chinese go astray, limit the development China dream "bankruptcy" since then, Chinese strong!

China changed from a weak country to become a person who despised the coveted power.

In October 16, 1964, China successfully exploded the first atomic bomb in the western region. This is a major achievement in Chinas national defense construction. In April 1970, Chinese first man-made earth satellite Dongfanghong launch success. This is an epoch-making event in the history of Chinas spaceflight. In October 1969, China built the first underground railway - the Beijing subway, which brought convenience to peoples lives. In February 15, 1985, the Antarctic Antarctic expedition team China built Great Wall Railway Station in georgia. The establishment of the Antarctic scientific expedition has enabled Chinese scientists to contribute to the protection and peaceful use of the Antarctic. In February 1998, Beijing established the first high-tech agricultural base in China. It changed for thousands of years, people have to rely on agriculture on the traditional concept of planting and breeding. In October 15, 2003, the Shenzhou five manned spacecraft launched by ourselves was launched successfully, sending our astronaut Yang Liwei into space and returning to the ground safely on the 16 th. The first manned space flight in China has achieved a successful success and realized the flying dream of the Chinese nation. The successful launch of "Shenzhou five" has broken the situation that a few countries monopolize the space technology in the world, and help the human beings to make peaceful use of space resources and so on.

The clothes that people wear in the past are monotonous and have a single style. Now the clothes, the color and the style are colorful. People can choose their favorite clothes according to their own personality and preferences. In the past, it was often a few generations to live in a house, and it was very simple. Now its spacious and the room is more elaborate. Are these examples not enough to explain the changes in China?

Ah! China, Im proud of you! I want to use my "grass inch heart" to repay your "apartments"! I want to make your glory!

中国传统文化丰富多彩。有诗、词、曲、赋;有京剧、曲艺、书法、国画;还有对联、灯谜、歇后语等等。其中，最为有名的就要数中国的茶文化了!

听妈妈说经常喝茶能提神，让人脑子清醒，还能补充多种矿物质和维生素。于是我也想试着泡茶、品茶。

说干就干，星期天的下午，我帮妈妈准备好茶具和茶叶后，就挨着妈妈在茶几前坐了下来，接下来妈妈就对我说：“首先要烧开水，然后将茶叶放在杯子里，用清水清洗一下，然后将开水倒入杯中，泡两分钟后再盖上杯盖。”

我按妈妈说的过程做了一遍。我先把茶叶放到杯子里用清水洗一遍。然后小心翼翼地将开水倒入杯中，一开始我见茶叶就像小鱼一样在水底自由自在地游来游去，又像一些小青蛙，在水底活蹦乱跳的。过了一会儿，茶叶平静了，茶叶一半沉入水底，一半漂浮在水面上。就像有一张高低床在水里，茶叶则像一个个小娃娃，一些在上面睡觉，一些在下面睡觉。渐渐地，茶叶都沉入水底像一丛水草，还像一片一片的珊瑚。我盖上杯盖，过了几分钟，我打开盖子，发现透明的水变成淡淡的绿色。我觉得有一点奇怪，我问：“妈妈，为什么有一些茶叶泡出来的水是红色的，而这种茶叶泡出来是绿色呢?”妈妈说：“茶的种类不同，不同茶类的茶，泡出的颜色是不同的：如普洱、红茶泡出来茶水是红色的，铁观音、绿茶泡出来茶水是绿色的。”听了妈妈的话，才恍然大悟，原来不同的茶叶泡出的茶水颜色也是不同的。接着妈妈叫我品尝一下自己泡的茶，我端起杯子，轻轻地放在鼻子底下闻了闻，顿时一阵清香扑鼻而来，那浓郁的茶香沁入心脾，苦涩中带着淡淡的甜味，真叫人回味无穷!

今天的收获可真不少!我学会了泡茶，同时也品味了茶的韵味。

秦时明月，虽已逝去千年，而这皇陵中的兵马俑仍屹立着;汉书笔墨，虽已破旧不堪，而这汉服上的五彩绣仍存在着。

青铜秦俑凝望着……

它们正看着我们——他们的后人——中华五千年文化的新一代传人!

步入葬坑，一支威武之师俨然映入眼帘，在一层层隔墙间，在粒粒沙土旁，不同的石俑各具神态，它们脸上的纹路、手指被刻画地栩栩如生。在这偌大的几个坑中，竟没有两个俑是相同的。多么神奇呀!真不愧是“世界第八大奇迹”啊!

恍惚中似乎见到千年之前，秦始皇身着龙袍，威武站立在三军之前的大殿上，他用力擂着大鼓居高临下，面向秦岭深处，拔出腰间的宝刀指向远方——“杀!”。声音回荡在天地间，百万大军斗志昂扬!举起兵器，迈开双腿，即刻出征!

将军、士兵们挺直了腰板，不畏敌人、困苦，在长安矗立着;而我们，也应挺起身板，勇敢面对坎坷，扬起头，双眼向远方望去，向成功望去，向目标前进!

千年兵马，秦汉黄沙，青铜秦俑，汉马驰疆，唐瓷映彩，铁骑铮蹚，七尺男儿，纵马飞扬，沙尘滚滚，浪涛天涯!

我们定不会辜负你们的期望，我们会让那只雄鸡永远屹立在世界的东方!

在市里，贴春联很简单，就是入户门门口贴一幅。而在农村，大大小小的门口、高高低低的窗子、人住的房动物住的窝都要贴春联、挂钱。贴春联是个很费力的活，一干都得半天。家里有人去世三年内不能贴春联挂钱，所以，不管住不住人的院落，过年时都贴上春联亮堂亮堂，否则路人经过就会口中念念有词：哦，这家死人了。

农村老破的房子在冬天没有了红花绿叶的遮挡显得十分破旧，春联挂钱一贴，就添了一份喜气，多了几许美。一般来说，春联要在过年的头一天贴。我觉得，贴春联纯是一种祝愿一种祈祷。我家房子已经五六年没人常住了。鸡窝多年没鸡，猪圈多年没猪，并且由于铁矿打竖井采矿石，地下水过度开采，井也没啥水了，但鸡窝依然要贴金鸡满架，猪圈门口贴肥猪满圈，井边贴井泉水旺。而大小门口等处对联横批都是祈盼祝愿之类的话。贴春联也要有点文化。村中流传着这样一个故事，一家忙着贴春联，爹在屋里涂胶水，儿子在门外贴。其中，本该贴在驴棚门口的横批“六畜兴旺”贴在了人住的屋子门口，正月有人来拜年时才被发现。看来没文化真的很可怕——贴对联都能贴成自己骂自己。

新年到，家家户户到处张灯结彩，到处放鞭炮，到处贴春联，到处欢声笑语，到处喜气洋洋。 当然，我家也不例外。家里的大门上贴着一副大红春联，墙上贴着一个大大的倒“福”。我就产生了一个疑问：“为什么春节要鞭炮，还要贴春联呢?终于，我在资料上找到了答案。” 放鞭炮这个习俗在我国已有2000多年的历史了。《荆楚岁时记》曾经这样记载，正月初一鸡叫头一遍时，大家就纷纷起床，在自家院子里放爆竹，来逐退瘟神恶鬼。

当时没有大药，没有纸张，人们便用火烧竹子，使之爆裂发声，以驱逐瘟神。这当然是迷信，但反映了古代劳动人民渴求安泰的美好愿望。

到了唐朝，鞭炮又被人民称为爆竿，大概是一支较长的竹竿逐节燃烧，连续发爆破之声。南昌诗人来鹄的《早春》诗句“新历才半纸开，小小亭犹聚爆竿灰”。写的就是当时春节燃烧竹竿的情景。 后来，炼丹家经过不断的化学试验，发现硝石，硫黄和木炭合在一起能引起燃烧，声音更大，便得火烧竹子，这古老习俗发生了根本变化。北宋时，民间已经出现用卷纸裹着大药的燃烧物，还有单响和双响的区别，改名“爆仗”，后又改名“鞭炮”。

贴春联那就不一样了，起源于上古时期风俗，春节时门上悬挂或者张贴神怪之物以吓退妖魔鬼怪，于是，便挂挑木板，再刻上两句吉利话，到后来演变成红纸书写两句对称幸福语贴到门上，又加上横批，正好符合大门的形式。 怪不得过春节人们要放鞭炮，贴春联呢!
