介绍中国美食文化的英语作文（汇总20篇）

当你在伦敦街头看见独具中国特色的黑头发黄皮肤时，你的心中是否会涌起久违的感动？

当你在路旁听那婉转悠扬的茉莉花时，你是否是否会想到故乡江南的吴侬软语，橹声咿呀？

当你手捧一份古籍，透过陈旧的书页，受到中华文化的芳香，你是否会升腾起莫名的冲动与敬畏？

中华文化是五彩缤纷的，他自五千年的历史走来，伴着长江黄河氤氲的水汽，涂染了炎黄子孙的色泽，古朴温润而又华丽，就如谦和低调的中国人一般，怎能不爱？

汉字，应该是沉稳敦厚的土黄色，这是华夏农耕文明的色彩，更是五千年历史的重色，汉字，自诞生之时，就是在黄色的土地上的一笔一画，方方正正，带着人们对土地的敬畏，亲近与热爱，汉字也记载了这黄色大地上的桩桩件件。一个字，便是一幅画，有结构对称的阴阳之美，有删繁就简的朴素之美，有灵巧俊逸的飘逸之美，汉字就这样成为了中华文化一脉相承的见证，他与这片土地一样，宽厚沉稳，厚重古朴。

古籍应该是深厚博大的蓝色，这是中华大地天空的色彩，更是囊括一切包容一切的象征，从古至今，古籍给我们印象最深的，就是那一本本蓝色的封面，和其中中流淌出的思想精髓，在这里我们的祖先发现了，天人合一，执着的追寻着臻于完美的最高境界，在这里诸子百家的思想碰撞出耀眼的光辉，吸引后世不断走在朝圣的路上，在这里一个个古典人物，自历史走出，给我们最大的启迪和智慧……五彩缤纷的中华文化，还有微微桃花色的桃花源，黑白相间的水墨画，大红的中国结和红蓝白黄的京剧脸谱，有人说中华文化是一条河，我们注定要在其下游土吸其芬芳，接受其哺养，绚丽的中华文化，怎能不爱？

如今时代的车轮不断的轮转，却有太多的传统文艺失去了它们缤纷的色泽，它能变得模糊而褪色，老地名与我们渐行渐远，传统节日越来越被淡忘，就连深入中国人血液的汉字，也陷入了提笔忘字的尴尬，我们呼唤高慧云一般的人物，他默默无闻，他宠辱不惊，却肩负起复兴中华文化的重任，他兢兢业业，他庄重肃穆，却未褪色的文化注入老鲜活的色彩，重获生机的中华文化啊，怎能不爱？

大风泱泱，大潮傍傍。

洪水图腾蛟龙，烈火涅磐凤凰，文明圣火，千五而未绝者，唯我无双，与天地共存，与日月同光，五彩缤纷的中华文化啊，且看今日华夏！

I, a sunny boy, would you like to make friends with me?

北京不仅是中国的政治、经济、文化的中心，也是中国“四大古都”之一。而颐和园是最大的皇家园林，此次北京之行非去不可。

颐和园又称“夏宫”，是古代皇帝的行宫和花园。我们随团坐着游船，沿着当年慈禧太后走过的水路向前行驶。不一会儿，就来到了颐和园。一进入颐和园，映入眼帘的就是昆明湖了，昆明湖碧波荡漾，船儿在湖中轻摇，倒映着两岸婀娜多姿的柳树，格外的美丽迷人!

湖上有一座桥，下面有十七个桥洞，叫十七孔桥;十七桥的前而有个亭子，那是石舫;十七孔桥后面是个小岛，叫湖心岛。站在远处，三景合为一体，像一只硕大的乌龟。那石舫自然是龟脑袋，十七孔桥为龟脖子，湖心岛为龟身。导游说许多人在这只“乌龟”前合影留恋，想把代表健康长寿的“乌龟”带回家，祝福全家幸福安康。我和妈妈自然也不例外，喜出望外地在这里留个影。

昆明湖的对面就是万寿山。据说当年皇帝觉得北京城内的水很难喝，而万寿山上的泉水，清澈甘甜，因此成为皇帝的特供。

颐和园不愧是皇帝园林，整个园内风景优美，简直就是一幅美丽的风景画，让我流连忘返!

学习了《中国传统文化》后，我在为人处事上学到了很多。“孝”是我们的传统美德，父母给予我们生命，养育我们，教育我们，也许有的地方他们做的不能让我们满足，但是孝在任何时候都是不能忘记的。让我们想想，父母辛辛苦苦养家，一切为我们着想，我们有什么理由嫌弃父母?

“亲爱我，孝何难。亲憎我，孝方贤。”父母爱我们，我们孝父母，没什么可说的。我们的爸爸妈妈都那么爱我们，给我们完整的家，幸福的生活，让我们的生活充满了幸福和快乐。“念恩幸福一辈子，念怨痛苦一辈子。”生活中记得感恩，我们一个人根本不可能在社会上生存，有父母的教育，朋友的陪伴乃至以后生活中遇到的所有人，一句关心的话语，一个关切的眼神，都让我们身上涌起一股温暖。别人关心我们了，我们应该感恩。

在法制比较健全的国家，按照法律制度处理就可以了。在中国十分普遍，每一起腐败案件发生后，都有许多人在背后活动，找人讲情。没有人情，便办不成事。各种事情的解决，都离不开人情。什么事情都由领导说了算，结果只能脱离民意，自行其是，乃至以公家之权谋个人之私。这必然使民心受挫，社会正常秩序遭到破坏，在维护少数人的特权利益的同时，最大程度的损害了广大百姓的利益。这严重影响了中国优秀的传统文化发展。

中国传统文化是一种理性的文化，越是科学发达，人们的文化水准提高，认识能力增强的情况下，越是有利于中国传统文化的传播。在人们没有文化愚昧的情况下，中国传统文化是不易推广与传播的，因为它不具备传播这种文化的软件和硬化。在中国历史上，无论什么时候，哪一个封建王朝都没有真正彻底的贯彻中国传统文化，所以，中国的传统文化从来都没有像《圣经》文化和《古圣经》文化那样，左右一个国家的政治经济的命运。

所有的中华儿女们，让我们把中国传统美德送往世界的每一个角落。

xx year of the rooster has coming, as a child, I love the first day of the year so much, because I can get a lot of money.

When I see the elder, I say some good words to them, then they will give the lucky to me money in return. I meet a lot of elder in a day, so I get much money, it is a satisfied day for me.

亲爱的老师，同学们好：

今天，学校给我们看了关于这方面的视频，主要讲了：“仁爱，爱国，好学，清廉”等多个主题，讲述我国传统文化的故事。

其中，“好学”这个主题，讲述了匡衡非常好学的故事：匡衡很好学，但家里很穷，所以他白天必须干活挣钱，只有晚上才能看书，但是，他买不起蜡烛，天一黑，就无法看书了，于是，匡衡小心的在墙壁上凿了一个洞，邻居家的烛光就透了过来，这样匡衡就能在晚上看书了，这就是《凿壁借光》的故事，又如，其它方面还讲了“孟子”等人，古代那些名事讲也讲不完……

我被惊住了，中华民族竞如此多的优良传统。古人都能做到“仁爱，爱国……，他们可以做到，那么作为新时代的我们，就更应学习弘扬祖国优良的文化、家风。

家风是什么?家风就是一个家庭或家族的传统风尚。家风是中华民族传统美德的现代传承，是中华民族五千多年的灿烂文化所厚育的许多优良传统。我们上一代的爸爸妈妈把中华民族的优良家风传给了我们，那我们也要学会并传承这伟大的家风，弘扬中华民族的传统文化。我们要从现在做起，好好学习，好好做人，好好传承并弘扬我们优良的家风。把全民族的智慧集中起来，形成无比强大的精神力量和物质财富。承继传统美德，弘扬民族精神，倘若我们都重视家风的作用来重振家风，那么社会主义核心价值观将会得到弘扬，社会风气将会蔚然成风。

让我们手拉手、心连心共同把文明美德传承下去，弘扬我们的民族精神，让中华民族这朵美丽的生活之花开遍世界的每个角落!

中西文化的差异不仅包括人文地理和民俗风情方面的不同，而且包括了中英文语言运用习惯的诸多不同。在平时的教学中，我们就必须根据教材，适时渗透一些西方文化知识，让学生尝试了解相关的文化背景等。

例如，在写“My favorite festival”一文时，很多学生都写到“Christmas Day”，对这个节日了解较多的学生，他们准备着笔的内容就比其他同学丰富多了。让学生尝试了解相关的文化背景既开阔了学生语言学习的视野，也为他们日后写作提供了一些文化素材。

春节的前一天是除夕，也就是大年三十。关于除夕有这么一个传说：古时候有一个怪物叫夕，每一年的岁末它就会来害人。后来，人们知道夕最怕声响和红光。于是到了那天，大家就点燃鞭炮，门上贴上了春联，把夕给吓跑了。就这样人们为了纪念这一天，把大年三十定为除夕日。

现在每到这一天，家家户户都会贴春联，放鞭炮，开开心心地过除夕。

这一天，我家也一样。全家人可忙了：爸爸和爷爷忙着布置房间，妈妈和奶奶忙着准备晚餐，我和姐姐忙着放鞭炮。

到了晚上，全家围着圆桌开开心心地吃起了团圆饭。看，大圆桌上摆满了丰盛的美味佳肴：有红红的大龙虾，有香喷喷的红烧肉，有色泽鲜艳的蔬菜等，最引人注目的是桌子中间的热腾腾的饺子，看得我口水直流。我们把菜吃得干干净净。尤其是爸爸，他的肚子已经圆溜溜了，他还要吃。吃完饭，我们还拿到了大人们分给的压岁钱。

吃完饭，大家就一起放烟花。看，一朵朵五颜六色的鲜花飞到了夜空中，这些颜色可美了！红的似火、白的像雪、粉的如霞姿态也很吸引人，有的如金花四溅，有的像天女散花，有的似孔雀开屏真是姿态万千呀！望着五彩缤纷的烟花，我们都笑开了怀。

多么美好的除夕之夜啊！多么令人憧憬啊！

一提起千年古城西安，大家就会想到美丽的骊山，杨贵妃泡过的华清池我更喜欢的是壮观的秦始皇兵马俑。

兵马俑是一个在人为雕塑史上绝无仅有的艺术品;兵马俑是一幅描绘当时秦军雄兵百万战车千乘的连景画卷;兵马俑又是一个个历史难题的迷宫。今天我将带着大家一起走进兵马俑这个奇迹，看看他会给我们带来什么样的惊喜与震撼。

进到一号永康迎面就有一股强烈的浑厚的气息，如潮水般向我涌来，心中一震。不知道古代的劳动人民一号永康迎面就有一股强烈的浑厚的气息，如潮水般向我涌来，心中一震。不知道古代的劳动人民是如何靠着一双双手来完成这样一个艰巨的任务。这里的每个兵马俑都神态各异，栩栩如生，仿佛敌人已经出现了!为了捍卫自己的国土，要和敌人拼搏一把，从这里雕塑精细的兵马俑身上我看到了古代劳动人民的坚强智慧与勇敢!

接着来到二号坑，二号坑是一个最小的坑，但一个不容小视的坑。这个坑是当年秦国主力部队以骑兵大营地，这里每一个逃兵身体强壮，身材高大，每一匹陶马四肢有力，精神抖擞，好像马上就要万马奔腾了。更让我惊奇的是这里竟然还有指挥中心据说二号坑是秦军的心脏所在很多战报都是从这里指挥更让我惊奇的是，这里竟然还有指挥中心，据说二号坑是秦军的心脏所在，很多战报都是从这里指挥中心发出的，想想那个时候，科学和通信都不发达，他们是多么不可思议的完成的啊!

三号俑坑中有一个宝物，听到宝物两字我的好奇心就来了，那个保健在地底下沉睡了几千年的!

兵马俑真是一个奇迹，解开的是一道道难题，留下的却是一个更迷!

I am a 10 years old boy. Smart and handsome. I am proud of myself. Because

I can get perfect scores in Chinese, math and English. It is not good enough, I

am also proud of being an elder brother. That is a Friday evening, my baby

brother was crying all the time. My parents were both cooking for dinner.

I said to my mum; let me look after this little thing. My mum said, “are

you sure you can?” “Yes, believe me I can.” I answered. Then mum went to the

kitchen. I went towards my baby brother. “Oh baby, don’t cry. I will sing a song

for you…” I carried him and sing songs for him. After a while, he was asleep. I

was so tired. My parents were happy and praised me a good boy. This is my first

time to look after my baby brother and I feel proud of myself.

Grace is one of my classmates. She is not good at study, though she usually works very hard. Maybe she just doesn’t find the learning method suitable for her. In my mind, she is clever. Thongh she is not good at study, she is popular in our class. In all people’s mind, she is kind and optimistic. Treating everyone as friend, she has no enemy. As she doesn’t study well, it is hard to avoid feeling sad. However, everytime she just feels sad for a while and then recovers for the first one. Sometimes it is her who comforts us for not for not doing well in the exam. Look, she is so cute!

格瑞斯是我的一个同学。她学习不好，虽然她平时非常努力学习。也许她只是没有找到适合自己的学习方法而已。在我眼里，她是很聪明的。虽然她学习不好，但她在班里人缘很好。在所有人的眼里，她是友好，乐观的。她对待每个人都像朋友一样，所以她没有敌人。因为学习不好，难免会感到悲伤。但是，每次她都只是难过一会，就第一个恢复了。有时候还是她安慰我们这些因为考试不好而难过的人。看，她是如此的可爱!

长城是我国古代一项伟大的建筑工程，也是人类文明史上的奇迹之一。现在的长城跨越了天津，黑龙江，吉林，山东，河南，青海，新疆，甘肃，宁夏，陕西，内蒙古，山西，河北，北京，辽宁15个省区市总长约21196.18公里。

可能有人会问，这么浩大的工程是怎样建成的呢?长城底下是由无数块两三斤重的条石构成的。因为古代没有先进的机器，所以只能靠无数劳动人民伸出勤劳的双手，借助宽厚的肩膀，一步一步地抬着条石，走上陡峭的山岭，再慢慢建成长城。

长城上面是用城砖叠成的，外侧还有成排的垛子。垛子上有很多口子，口子既可以观察外面的信息，也可以把枪放上去，用来射击敌人。长城里还有一种东西叫城台，每隔300多米就会有一个。在城台里面不仅可以观察外面，而且可以射击，还可以放哨，累了可以住宿休息，是不是令你目瞪口呆呢?

关于长城，有这样一则民间故事：孟姜女哭长城。话说，自从孟姜女的丈夫被残暴的秦始皇抓去修筑长城后，孟姜女一直食不下咽，夜不能寐。直到有一天，孟姜女实在忍不住了，就果断地带上粮食，去万里长城寻找丈夫。一路上，她历尽了千辛万苦，中途还病倒了。幸好，她被一位好心的老太太救了下来。但即使这样，还是不能阻止她去万里长城寻夫的脚步。她病还没痊愈，就又走了。终于有一天，孟姜女来到了万里长城，但她看到的不是丈夫，而是一具冷冰冰的尸体。孟姜女顿时失声痛哭起来，上气不接下气。有一个神仙于心不忍，也为残暴的秦始皇感到愤怒。于是，神仙大手一挥，刚修筑好的长城便轰然倒下了。不过这只是个传说，但也能说明这些普普通通的人民苦不堪言，对残暴的秦始皇感到愤怒，所以想惩罚秦始皇。

_曾经说过：“不到长城非好汉。”登上长城的最高点，就可以看到一条“巨龙”，它缠绕在山间，非常壮观，不愧是世界八大奇迹之一。

长城让我们领略到了中国古代劳动人民的智慧，它是我们中华民族的骄傲!

不管在学校，在家里，还是在路边，文明礼仪每天伴随着我们成长，他是我们的朋友。我们应该做到讲文明，懂礼貌，见到班主任要问好，看到垃圾要捡起来，尊敬父母，长辈和班主任，不要追逐打闹这样的好习惯，冈察尔曾经说过：礼貌是最容易做到的事情，也是最珍贵的东西。

我小的时候经常窝在家里，哪里都不肯去，不管家长硬拉硬扯也不肯，就算去了亲戚朋友也不会打招呼，不说话，朋友生日也不说祝福语，送礼物，所以我小时候常常被妈妈骂我不讲文明。不过自重上了小学之后，通过班主任教我们文明礼仪，我认识到了我小时候的错误，从那时候，我每天和文明礼貌同行，我不仅通过班主任那里知道 ，还从做黑板报的过程知道了文明礼貌，在五年级的时候，每个班级的学生都要通过自己的双手去做黑板报，班主任选中了我，那一次的题目是《文明礼貌伴我行》，从那次板报，我更加认识到了文明礼貌的重要性。

在上个周的国旗台上，江班主任说学校的文明礼仪做得非常不好，乱丢垃圾和追逐打闹的人非常多，之后，文班主任就对我们进行了教育，让我们要把文明礼仪放在身边，心里，我们要养成有文明礼貌的好习惯，奥古斯丁说过：习惯不加以仰制，不久她就会变成你生活上的必需品。

文明礼貌伴我行，他是我们的朋友，亲人，我们要时时刻刻把他放在身边！

Dear Mike,

How are you doing these days?

Aimed at providing a platform where students can have a chance to exchange and make use of their books, the annual campus book fair will soon be held in our school. The fair will attract a huge crowd from the entire school, who are to sell, purchase and exchange their second-hand books with their peers.

As a regular visitor, I’ve found myself increasingly attracted by the fair. For one thing, the fair exhibits books of hundreds of types on diverse topics, motivating us to further develop our reading habits and help to broaden our horizons. For another, most books are sold at a lower price than what the bookstores offer.

Please let me know if you have any suggestions on how to host such a book fair better.

Yours,

Li Hua

The qingming (Pure Brightness) Festival is one of the 24 seasonal division points in China, falling on April 4-6 each year. After the festival, the temperature will rise up and rainfall increases. It is the high time for spring plowing and sowing. But the qingming Festival is not only a seasonal point to guide farm work, it is more a festival of commemoration.

The qingming Festival sees a combination of sadness and happiness.

This is the most important day of sacrifice. Both the Han and minority ethnic groups at this time offer sacrifices to their ancestors and sweep the tombs of the diseased. Also, they will not cook on this day and only cold food is served.

The Hanshi (Cold Food) Festival was usually one day before the qingming Festival. As our ancestors often extended the day to the qingming, they were later combined.

On each qingming Festival, all cemeteries are crowded with people who came to sweep tombs and offer sacrifices. Traffic on the way to the cemeteries becomes extremely jammed. The customs have been greatly simplified today. After slightly sweeping the tombs, people offer food, flowers and favorites of the dead, then burn incense and paper money and bow before the memorial tablet.

In contrast to the sadness of the tomb sweepers, people also enjoy hope of Spring on this day. The qingming Festival is a time when the sun shines brightly, the trees and grass become green and nature is again lively. Since ancient times, people have followed the custom of Spring outings. At this time tourists are everywhere.

People love to fly kites during the qingming Festival. Kite flying is actually not limited to the qingming Festival. Its uniqueness lies in that people fly kites not during the day, but also at night. A string of little lanterns tied onto the kite or the thread look like shining stars, and therefore, are called "gods lanterns."

The qingming Festival is also a time to plant trees, for the survival rate of saplings is high and trees grow fast later. In the past, the qingming Festival was called "Arbor Day". But since 1979, "Arbor Day" was settled as March 12 according to the Gregorian calendar.

过大年是我们国家古老的传统文化节日。

相传中国古时候有一种叫“年”的怪兽，头长尖角，凶猛异常。“年”长年深居海底，每到除夕，爬上岸来吞食牲畜伤害人命，因此每到除夕，村村寨寨的人们扶老携幼，逃往深山，以躲避“年”的伤害。

有一年的除夕，人们都忙着收拾东西逃往深山，这时候村东头来了一个白发老人家。他对一户老奶奶说只要让他在她家住一晚，他定能将“年”兽驱走。众人不信，老奶奶劝其还是上山躲避的好，老人家坚持留下，众人见劝他不住，便纷纷上山躲避去了。

当“年”兽象往年一样准备闯进村肆虐的时候，突然传来爆竹声，“年”浑身颤栗，再也不敢向前凑了，原来“年”兽最怕红色、火光和炸响。这时大门大开，只见院内一位身披红袍的老人家哈哈大笑，“年”兽大惊失色，仓惶而逃。

第二天，当人们从深山回到村里时，发现村里安然无恙，这才恍然大悟，原来白发老人家是帮助大家都驱逐“年”兽的神仙，人们同时还发现了白发老人家驱逐“年”兽的三件法宝。从此，每一年的除夕，家家都贴红对联，燃放爆竹，户户灯火通明，守更待岁。这风俗越传越广，成了中国民间最隆重的传统节日“过新年”。

每一年过新年前，从阴历十二月二十三日起到三十日，人们把这段时间叫做“小年”。除夕夜晚，全家人团聚在一起。北方地区有吃饺子的习俗，象征团聚合欢；同时又取更岁交子之意。南方吃年糕，象征新一年的生活甜蜜蜜，步步高。夜晚12点，也就是新年刚刚来到，每家的第一件事情就是放鞭炮。

大年十五元宵节过后，过新年才算真正结束了。

中国的传统文化，种类繁多，异彩纷呈，但我独独喜爱于剪纸。

春节快到了，我和妈妈决定去逛一逛。一出去我就停住了：眼前的房屋仿佛变红了，因为家家户户的窗户上贴满了一片红的装饰品。有福字、对联、年画……突然在我眼前出现了剪纸窗花，它们大小不一，形态各异，我一见钟情，增添了节日喜庆的氛围。

我在房屋下转来转去，细细端详着。它们有的是单纯一朵花，有的中间是花，外边一大圈是有几匹马或者其他花样。每个边边角角都很精细，不管有多难，把一些小细节全剪出来了，大师级的剪纸，多令人佩服啊！

中国最早的剪纸作品是在新疆吐鲁番火焰山附近出土的北朝时期五福团花剪纸。这几份剪纸，采用重复折叠的方式和形象互不遮挡的处理手法。纸的发明是在公元前的西汉时代，在此之前是不可能有艺术纸出现的，但当时人们运用薄片材料，通过镂空雕刻的技法制成工艺品。

我爱你剪纸！
