介绍中国美食文化的英语作文(热门20篇)

Chinese New Year is a Chinese traditional festival. We also call it the Spring Festival. It is on lunar January 1st.

On New Year’s Eve, all the people sit around the desk and have a big family dinner. There are some vegetables, some fish, some meat, some fruits and some drink like juice, Coke, Pepsi and some nice wine. Overall, this is a good and delicious dinner. After dinner, we always watch TV New Year progammes. We have a wonderful evening on New Year’s Eve.On the first day of the Spring Festival, most of people get up early and say “happy new year” to each other. For breakfast, people often eat dumplings and baozi. After breakfast, people often make many delicious foods, and children often play cards, computer games and fireworks. On the second and third day, we visit friends and relatives.

Everyone is busy on Chinese New Year, and everyone is happy, too.

中国的传统文化可多啦，如舞龙、捏泥人、皮影戏。今天我要介绍的是——剪纸。

从古至今，剪纸已经有一千多年的历史了，剪纸的种类也很多，如窗花、喜花、鞋花、剪纸团花等，每次过节过年，人们都要剪一些“福”、“喜”来表示庆祝。

课堂上，老师也给我们欣赏了许多的剪纸，有金蛇狂舞、神龙摆尾、醉八仙。

先说，“鸳鸯戏水”吧，只见有两只鸳鸯梳着整齐的羽毛，在平静的湖上照着“镜子”呢，湖面上还有花藤在帮她梳理头发呢，湖水下的水草再给它们挠脚心呢，真有意思。

最有趣的是，“猛虎下山”，只见一只凶猛的老虎翘起尾巴竖直汗毛，好像有什么把它给惹怒了。

“年年有余”也很有意思，只见一个小孩抱着一条大鲤鱼腰也没有弯，还乐呵呵的笑着，也不忘拿着一支荷花。

剪纸艺术真是中国传统文化的精髓。

“中国文化，博大精深”这句话有力地诠释了我国五千多年的历史文化。让我就此畅谈我国伟大劳动人民的结晶——服饰文化吧！

畅谈中国文化，古代服饰必不可少。

古代发饰繁多多样，种类不一。有步摇，华胜，簪、钗、凤冠，笄、梳篦、扁方之分。看起来复杂多样，实际上却是一个人是否有显赫家世的象征。一个女子所戴的发饰，不但表现了她的身份地位，也表现了她庄重，优雅之程度。《红楼梦》里的王熙凤，“头上戴着金丝八宝攒珠鬓，绾着朝阳玉凤挂珠钗。”发饰的繁盛，把她的人物形象夸张化了，也由此显示了她万贯的家财和泼辣的性格，也足以体现出她管理贾府上下的身份地位。发饰，是尊贵的象征。而林黛玉却是一身素雅的打扮，没有过多的发饰，却由此散发出“举止言谈不俗，身体面庞虽怯弱不胜”之优雅。发饰是优雅的体现。王熙凤与林黛玉两人鲜明的对比，让我对中国文化多了一份认识。

畅谈中国文化，古代服装必不可少。

唐代女装是中国古代女装最大胆的一种，足以体现当时思想开放的程度。唐代襦裙服系，指女子上穿短襦或衫，下着长裙，配披帛的传统装饰。这种穿法在唐代非常普遍，就有了“燕瘦环肥”之美。飘飘然的裙尾，长长的披帛，无一不体现我国古代人民的工艺高超。襦衫领型有圆领、方领、直领和鸡心领，盛唐时更有袒领。袒领的出现，把古代女性美给形象化了。由此表现大唐的思想开放和繁盛程度，为我国古代文化添上辉煌的一笔。

畅谈中国文化，官服有颜色之分。

一个个朝代沿袭而来，就有了品色制度。品色制度是限制每一品官员该穿什么颜色的制服。官员品级越高，穿的颜色就越显尊贵，三品以上的可佩戴玉。品级不同，官服所配的颜色、质料、纹样是有等级之分的。颜色由浅到深，品级就由高到低，每一个朝代亦是这样沿袭这种制度，以致表现天子的尊贵，和官员所掌握的权力大小之分，可谈之处，我国古代品色制度对中国文化有很大影响。

行文到此，一个服饰文化对我国文化已经有了很大的诠释，更何况我国还有其他地方所体现的中国文化。我所畅谈的中国文化只是很小的一部分，因为它确实是博大精深。

尊敬的各位游客你们好，我是今天的导游__，你们可以叫我__，也可以叫我__。今天我们来到我们的首都北京，今天我们要游览的是颐和园。游览时请大家自觉保持它的清洁。

首先我们来到颐和园最有名的长廊。看，绿漆的柱子，红漆的栏杆，多美呀!这条长廊有七百多米长，共有273间，你们信吗?每一间的横槛上都画这美丽的画，而且几千幅画没有那两副是一模一样。

我们现在来到的是万寿山。看到那个耸立在半山腰的八角宝塔形的三建筑啦吗，那就是佛香阁。房顶上方闪闪发光的是琉璃瓦。下面一排排金碧辉煌的宫殿就是排云殿啦。

现在我们已经在万寿山山顶了，这里是观看颐和园的最佳位置。正前方就是昆明湖啦，游人常说想一面镜子，像一块碧玉，你们是否有同感呢?下面我们一起去看看吧。

看，昆明湖很大，看到湖中心的小岛啦吗?走过这座小桥就可以去小岛上玩啦。这座石桥叫十七孔桥，这座石桥有三多，1多是桥洞多，2多是石柱多，3多是狮子多。这座石桥有上百根柱子，每根柱子上都雕刻着小狮子，每个小狮子姿态不一，没有那两只是相同的。

好现在我就先介绍到这里，大家自己在转转吧，1小时后我们还在这里回合，请大家遵守时间。

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。

自古以来，一直有五岳归来不看山，黄山归来不看岳的说法。

最早的时候，人们根据黄山的颜色称它为“黟山”，据说是因为后来黄帝在此炼丹而得名。传说黄帝到了老年，为了长生不老，便派浮丘公为他寻找炼丹的地方。

三年过去了，浮丘公回来告诉黄帝，说江南有一座黟山，那里可以炼丹。于是黄帝带领浮丘公、荣成子和一些臣仆来到黟山炼丹。可是此地有七十二座陡峭的山峰，有的地方连猴子也难上去，到后来所带的食物都吃完了，大家只能摘野果吃，很多人受不了这样的苦难，偷偷跑了。最后只剩下黄帝、浮丘公和荣成子三人了。他们经历了几年的摸索，终于练成了仙丹，三人吃后飘然成仙。所以后来人们便叫它黄山。

黄山还有四大绝，他们分别是云海、奇松、怪石和温泉。四绝之中，云海最有名。“黄山自古云成海”，这是刘伯承1957年留下来的碑刻。

黄山奇松，破石而出，它是坚韧性格的象征。黄山最著名的松树叫“迎客松”。据说迎客松有好几百年的历史了，但它还是那么高大挺拔地屹立在悬崖峭壁之上，像守护悬崖的卫士。山风一吹，迎客松的枝叶便随风摆动，好像在欢迎游客一般。

黄山的奇石也是大自然的杰作。最为著名的是“猴子观海”，这块巨石犹如蹲在地上的猴子，在观看面前的云海。

黄山温泉也有特点，温泉的水久旱不涸，流量稳定，水质透明，无色无嗅，其味甘美，可饮可浴，并且温度常年保持在42度。

黄山的每一处景物都那么美丽神奇，让人流连忘返!

中国民族五千年的文明，积淀了丰富多彩的传统文化：我们有精美的民间工艺，如剪纸、陶瓷；有古老的民族艺术、如戏剧、国画；有宏伟的古代建筑，如故宫、长城；有美丽的神话，如女娲补天……

下面我要为大家介绍一下重阳节：农历九月九日，是我国传统重阳节，又名重九节、登高节、菊花节、茱萸节。我国古代把九定为阳数，农历九月九日，月日并阳，两阳相重，两九相叠，故名“重阳”，又名“重九”。

每到这一天，人们出游登高，赏菊花、饮菊花酒，佩茱萸，吃重阳糕。时至今日，一些地区仍保存着这种风俗。政府还把重阳节定为“敬老节”，向老年人表达敬意之情并帮助他们解决困难等。

London and Tower Bridge

Not much is known about the earliest London Bridge although it’s location is thought to be near the present one. The second bridge a wooden one existing in Saxon times seems to have given rise to the nursery rhyme ‘London Bridge is falling down’ which it did in 1014. In 1176 the first stone bridge was constructed. Houses sprung up on both sides of the bridge and stood until it was pulled down in 1831, making way for a more elegant, classic structure. This bridge was replaced in 1967 as it could no longer cope with the amount of traffic. The present London Bridge is more 100 feet wide.

The London Bridge preceding the current one was bought by the McCulloch Oil Corporation of California, which reconstructed it at Lake Havasu City, in a corner of America’s Arizona Desert. Rumour has it that McCulloch’s thought they were buying the much more spectacular Tower Bridge.

The Construction of Tower Bridge began in 1885 and it was opened 9yrs later by Edward VII the then Prince of Wales, Amidst pomp and ceremony. It is the only bridge in London that can be raised to allow ships to pass. Since the Thames is no longer used much as a trade and shipping route, the complex lifting mechanism is only used 4 or 5 times a week. The Tower bridge is often mistaken for London Bridge which is dull in comparison.

中国明清两代的皇宫，又称紫禁城，地点位于北京城中心。开始?造与明永乐四年至十八年，也就是现在说的1420年，后来经过多个朝代的劳动人民细心修改，变的非常的富丽堂皇，但仍保持着原来的布局和规模，是世界上保存的最完整、规模的古代木构架宫殿建筑群。最先的设计人是蔡信、阮安等，主持施工的人是蒯详、陆详等。

我们说完了北京故宫的历史和人物建造，现在该说说外观和排列顺序把!

这座城设四个门，南门正中面午门、北门是神武门、东为东华门，四门个建有重檐庑殿顶门楼。这座城的四个角都还布有一些结构精巧、外观秀丽的角楼。外面的墙有10米多高呢!还有护城河宽52米，够宽的吧!长3800米，整个建筑群按南北中间的中轴线为对称布局，层次分明，主次有序。

听完了一以那些，你应该对北京故宫有些了解了吧!可能你还不知道吧!连皇帝的住所都是那么井井有条!

文化殿，武英殿是面阔九间的但檐山顶建筑。文化殿是皇帝听大臣讲书的地方，武英殿是皇帝吃饭、居住和召见大臣的地方。后三宫、东西六宫和乾清宫和坤宁宫通直御花园。坤宁宫和乾清宫是内廷的正殿、正寝，是皇帝、太后和皇后的正式居住场所，平均面积宽九间，为重檐庑殿顶。

前三殿是全宫的建筑群，占地面积有达到8。5万平方米，是宫城的12%，后三供则为前三殿的25%，期于宫殿依次递减，主要突出前三殿、后三殿的主要地位。1961年定位中国第一批全国重点文物保护单位，己被联合过教科文组织列为世界文化遗产。

文化自信是一个国家、一个民族发展中更基本、更深沉、更持久的力量。三个“更”突出文化自信的基础性与稳定性，也彰显了文化自信对一个国家与民族的重要性。

文艺是文化的一种展现形式，在现代社会中文艺在传承经典、输出文化、彰显大国自信等方面有着独一无二的价值。文艺工作以人民群众为中心，深入实践，文艺工作者在为人民群众带来喜闻乐见的作品的同时也在潜移默化地影响着人民群众的文化观念与文化行为。

在文化传播中创新文艺工作，打造优秀文艺节目。文艺工作承担着文化传承与输出之大任，在传播文化的内容与形式上要随着社会的进步而进步，要时时创新，跟上时代的步伐。文艺工作者犹如文化自信道路上的引路者，引导大众去传承我们悠久的辉煌历史、去发扬我们优秀的传统文化、去了解我们先进的现代文化。以央视文化类节目为例浅析文艺类节目对传播文化，夯实文化自信的积极影响。作为文化输出类节目《百家讲坛》《中国诗词大会》《经典咏流传》《国家宝藏》等以不同领域的文化知识吸引广泛的观众去了解我们的文化，认识我们的文化从而真正信任我们的文化。《百家讲坛》作为传播知识文化的典型节目，创新科教知识传播形式，让文化传播更有趣、更有意思。《中国诗词大会》《经典咏流传》等以文艺节目的形式传播我们优秀的诗词、诗歌文化。所谓文以载道、歌以咏志，此类节目不断挖掘传统文化的当下价值，进一步落实以人民为中心的创作导向。让经典走向群众，让美育教育滋润成长。同时，此类形式的美育节目在某种程度上使我们于古人实现了古今对话，让我们在古人的诗词言志中潜移默化的接受文化的熏陶。《国家宝藏》则是以各地博物馆为主，展现我国各个时期的历史、人文、风俗等。受《国家宝藏》节目的影响我每到一个城市便先去当地博物馆看看，现如今依旧清晰记得在上海博物馆时保安大哥给我讲述馆藏文物历史时的自豪与自信。

在文化传递中沉淀文艺工作，塑造精良文艺作品。文艺工作承担着文化传承与发扬之重任，任重而道远，在文化自信的道路上有着中流砥柱的作用。一部优秀的文艺作品是能引发共鸣与反思的，是值得反复琢磨与思考的。如电影《无问西东》讲述了四个不同时空中几位年轻人的选择和命运，看完电影不仅感受到老一辈科学工作者在艰苦环境中克服困难、一心为国的爱国精神，而且不由思考我能为社会做点什么?我们这代人能为祖国做出什么贡献?文艺工作者在面对纷繁复杂的欲望需沉淀自身、需静心坚守初心、用心打造作品。现如今流量明星、各路网红等占据各大空间，真正静心打磨作品的却寥寥无几。实际上，流量明星应承担传播文化之责任，多加积累，厚积薄发。各路网红也应承担传播文化之重任，植根文化，用心表达。“大师、大家，不是说有派头，而是说要有大作品。如果不把心思和精力放在创作精品上，只想走捷径、搞速成，是成不了大师、成不了大家的”。因此，文艺工作者要静心、用心，努力去打磨精品、塑造经典。

文艺工作要想推动文化自信，必须走进实践，观照人民生活，表达人民心声，用心用情用功抒写人民、描绘人民、歌唱人民;必须于与文化传播紧密结合，用心用情用功创作深入民心的经典;必须“创新+静心”，用心用情用功发扬优秀文化、增强国民的文化自信。

High school is regarded as the best time in a persons life. As a senior three student, I will graduate very soon. Now, I have many things to share with you.

Firstly, I would like to show my thanks to those people who help and care about me, especially my teachers, parents and friends Without their help and advice, my life would be different. Secondly, its time to say sorry to classmates whom I hurt or misunderstood.

Communication and smiles act as bridges to friendship. Above all, Ive made up my mind to make an effort to study, for I believe hard work is the key to success. Just as the old saying goes, "no pains, no gains."

Finally I hope that all the younger students can make full use of time, because time and tide wait for no men.

When someone asks me: What is your Chinese dreamI will answer it without thinking twice: to be a good doctor. The reason why I want to be a doctor is that I want to save people’s lives as possible as I can. When I was young, I had a terrible care accident. Thanks to the doctors, they brought me back to life. From then on, to be a good doctor has always been an inspiration to me. I will study hard to make sure that my dream will come true in the future.

Chinese dream is made up of every ordinary people’s dreams. We should do our best to make ourdream come true.

Recently we had a class meeting on the topic of My Chinese Dream. Inspired by President Xi’s Chinese Dream, everyone talked about his understanding of the Chinese Dream. We all believe that this dream will come true in the future.

I also talked about my own dream. I have always wanted to be a doctor. Not only can doctors save people’s lives but also they are doing a respectable job. Doctors can also help people to live a better life with their professional knowledge.

To realize my dream, I must try to work hard from now on. I must learn as much as I can so that I can get into a good medical college, where I

can prepare myself hard for the job of a doctor. Only in this way can I achieve my goal。

The schools campus activities are rich and colorful, learn to sing folk songs, learning folk dancing, the squadron will show --- in this one activity, I love the most is the May 31st meeting of the group in the water cube, the harvest and the feeling of campus activities.

At about 5 that day, we came to the Olympic swimming pool, the National Swimming Center (Water Cube). After all, the team will begin. The first chorus singing songs, and is the first grade student initiation ceremony. The representatives of the first grade students went to the stage in an energetic manner, and presented the garlands to 55 minority students, accompanied by the team song, and the minority nationality classmates wore a red scarf for the first grade students. After the ceremony, the minority students met with us to greet each other. "I am the Dong nationality, my name is Huang training Festival.". "Minority partners do self introduction, and simply introduce their own nation." After listening to them, I was surprised.

I didnt even hear about so many ethnic groups. Let alone understand their customs. I should learn more and have more knowledge. Several ethnic minority partners also performed a show for us, including a unique style of dance, a lot of distinctive songs, and so on. This time I really know the minority people, they have their own custom, unique singing and dancing. Though I cant understand the dialect in the song, I still feel it has an unknown and special beauty. Though I dont know the dance, I still feel the dance is very graceful. I deeply comprehend the colorful national culture and the profound and profound national culture. The performance was over, then, all the students of our present for minority students Oh performed 5 of this folk dance. The dance was very beautiful, and the students of the minority nationalities jumped with us. For a time, we all merged into the dance. With the beautiful songs, the team will end this time. In order to celebrate Childrens Day, we also watched the drama Beijing legend.

I like this national activity, it makes me know a lot of knowledge, and it has brought me a lot of joy.
