春节英语作文初一合集20篇

I always think there is not enough time. For example, I have just taken a three-day holiday. But when I look back, I just feel that it’s only one day. There goes a proverb, “Time is money”. Now I want to say, time is more precious than money, because when money is spent, we can earn some more again. However, when time is gone or lost, never will it return.

Time goes without being noticed. The time for our study and work is usually limited. So I think we must make full use of our time. But it’s a pity that I am always not aware of the importance of time until it’s too late.

So I think, I should get into the good habit of saving time because wasting time is equal to wasting one’s life. Do not put off what can be done today till tomorrow!

我总觉得时间不够。例如，我刚刚参加了为期3天的假期。但是当我回头看，我只是觉得这是唯一的一天。有句谚语说，“时间就是金钱”。现在我想说，时间比金钱更宝贵，因为当钱花掉的时候，我们可以再挣一些钱。然而，当时间流逝，它永远不会回来。

时间不被察觉。我们学习和工作的时间通常是有限的。所以我认为我们必须充分利用我们的时间。但遗憾的是，我总是不知道时间的重要性，直到一切都太迟了。

所以我想，我应该养成节约时间的好习惯，因为浪费时间等于浪费生命。不要把今天能完成的事拖到明天！

春节是中国传统的节日，春节是非常热闹的。

春节可以放鞭炮、看烟花、点爆竹、吃饺子，吃团圆饭是非常重要的，春节也以叫做新年，因为春节是一家子团圆的日子，所以非常的重要。

在我的记忆中，每年的春节都是差不多的，热闹、喜庆而祥和。

春节的前几天，是大人们最忙的时候，张罗这张罗那，但是，却是我们小孩子最憧憬的时候。爸爸妈妈买了许多好吃的，而卧却只能眼巴巴地看着，可望而不可即，于是，便急切地盼望着春节的到来。

除夕那一天晚上，当然也是我家最开心的时候，全家三口人一齐静静地看着春节联欢晚会，偶尔外面传来几声鞭炮声，也会觉得特别有趣。电视里搞笑的小品，优美的舞蹈常常逗得我们哈哈大笑，这笑声伴随着窗外的鞭炮声，显得气氛愈加欢乐。

终于要正式过年了，拜年就是我们一家首要的任务了。每到一家，我都要说上一句吉祥话，如：“新年快乐”、“恭喜发财”等等，而爸爸妈妈则送上一份拜年时必备的礼品，主人则会拿出一个红包递给我，这是我最高兴的事了，于是心里盘算着这钱该怎么用，买些零食?或是文具?买点玩的也不错，谁知一回到家就被“无情”的妈妈给收了去，我只好无奈地把这些个幻想的泡泡给吹灭了。

接下来的几天，我们就到处做客，丰盛的饭菜，炫丽的灯光，大人们喝酒时的祝福包围住了我，而我呢?则和哥哥一人拿来一大瓶饮料，东东快快地喝了个够，哪晓得一会儿我的肚子便疼的厉害，难受极了，后悔啊。

正月十五元宵节，我已经上学了，新学年的开始，将意味着春节的结束，但在这一天，我们家还是要吃元宵的，过年的气氛丝毫没有减弱，照旧的笑声，照旧的喜庆，照旧的开心。

就这样，快乐的春节过去了，每当细细回想是，总会不禁笑出声来……

Chinese New Year is the tradition festival in China.It is the same as the christmas day in the west country,it is welcome the new year.

It is the day that the families get together.

The Spring Festival, I think the most happy thing is to set off fireworks on New Years eve.

The day before New Years eve morning, my father and I came to China merchants field sell fireworks, bought a lot of fireworks, were blowing away joyfully music! Night, I almost cant sleep with excitement, looking forward to in the heart: New Years eve to come!

On New Years eve finally came. In the evening, I and dad immediately after having my family reunion dinner with fireworks in the underground floor. Dad found a glade first, and then put the fireworks "flying rocket" gently on the ground, with lighter lit the fuse and finally listen to "sou", flying rockets into the sky, blossom a colorful spark, beautiful! When dad smiled and said to me: "stress, to put yourself!" I listened to frighten hurriedly to keep shake head to say: "I cant, I cant." "Macho man there is nothing to fear, as long as you a lit fireworks just stay away from it!" Dad said to me. Hear the word of the father, I was a little scared, "dont be afraid of, pay attention to safety! Father encouraged me to say. Hear the word of the father, I get up the courage to learn to dads appearance with lighter lit fireworks, and then quickly hid behind the father, see the fireworks sprayed out beautiful spark, open for a while like a chrysanthemum, for a moment like a meteor, now like split of... Ah! I made it! I am pleased to jumped up, because of the success of the first, I am no longer afraid of, I also more and more brazen, suddenly put a lot of fireworks, it is very happy!

Through the fireworks in this matter, I know that "nothing in the world is difficult if you put your heart into it" the meaning of this sentence, there is nothing difficult in the world, if we have the courage and perseverance will be successful!

春节里，我觉得最快乐的事是除夕夜放烟火。

在除夕夜的前一天早上，我和爸爸来到招商场那里卖烟花的地方，买了一大堆烟花，我们吹着欢快地乐曲满载而归了!这天夜里，我兴奋得几乎睡不着觉，心里盼望着：除夕夜快点到来!

除夕夜终于到了。晚上，我吃完团圆饭就和爸爸带着烟花兴高采烈地下楼了。爸爸先找了一块空地，接着把烟花“飞天火箭”轻轻地放在地上，最后用打火机点燃了引线，只听“嗖”地一声，飞天火箭冲向了天空，绽放出五颜六色的火花，真美!这时爸爸笑着对我说：“力力，你自己来放吧!”我听了吓得连忙直摇头说：“我不敢，我不敢。”“男子汉大丈夫没什么可害怕的，只要你一点燃烟花离它远一点就行!”爸爸对我说。听了爸爸的话，我还是有点胆战心惊，“不要害怕，注意安全!”爸爸鼓励我说。听了爸爸的话，我鼓足了勇气学着爸爸的样子用打火机点燃了烟花，然后飞快地躲到了爸爸的身后，只见烟花喷射出美丽的火花，一会儿象菊花开放，一会儿象流星，一会儿又象天女散花……啊!我成功了!我高兴地跳了起来，因为有了第一次的成功，我不再害怕，胆子也越来越大，一下子放了许多的烟花，真是太高兴了!

通过放烟花这件事，使我知道“世上无难事，只怕有心人”这句话的意思了，世界上没有什么难事，只要有勇气和恒心就一定会成功!

相信很多的下朋友和我一样最盼望的就是过年了，每年的春节可以有很多的快乐，可以不用写作业，可以有好吃的好玩的，很多的小伙伴，还会有很多压岁钱!在我苦苦的盼望中，年的脚步终于近了。

春节是中华民族的传统节日，炎黄子孙历来都重视。离过年还有半个多月，大家便开始紧落密鼓的筹划准备。

在着生活节奏加快的时代里，亲人、朋友相聚一堂似乎很困难了，而过年正是天涯海角的游子与亲人团聚的大好时机。在外工作的友人也可以再次相聚，虽然我体会不到游子的心情，但过年时亲朋好友聚在一块玩，却也其乐无穷。

作为小孩子，当然最爱玩了，平日忙于学习，过年终于可以痛痛快快的放送了。你们不妨与我分享我得大年吧!

看晚会。除夕晚上刚吃完水饺，全家人便迫不及待的等待晚会的开始，尽管每年都有晚会，但每次晚会同样能够被小品、相声逗得捧腹大笑，时而陶醉于美妙的歌声中，时而惊叹于神气的魔术……

放鞭炮。今年过年，我买了许多鞭炮，除夕夜十二点整时，我点燃了一大串鞭炮，新年的钟声与鞭炮声同时响起，场面十分壮观。闲来无事，还可以与弟弟放些小擦炮。在大人眼中虽无意思，但这些鞭炮声在我们的记忆中留下了深刻的印象。

过年时，把长辈给的压岁钱攒起来，买些自己需要的东西，感觉真不错!今年，我还学会了一项新本事———包饺子。吃着自己包的饺子，真香!

过年是热闹的，但姐姐告诉我：“年的背后也寄托着厚重的责任，我们又长大了一岁，对于人生应该又多了一份思考。”面对新的一年，如何调整自己，以新的自我面对新的一年。

春节的趣事还真的很多!我说也说不完，不如就让我们一起去享受纯洁的快乐吧!

The story created a classic tough guy image. Tells the story of Santiago Cuba old man in the boundless sea fish caught eight days, but in the eighth day of the story, he caught a big marlin in the open sea, the old man in fighting with the marlin hand slashed, but he never give up, finally around three days later, will it uniform.

However, Santiago is not good luck, because he after uniform marlin, a grey whale sharks can smell the flavor of the marlin, he swam down to Santiagos fishing boat, ready to eat the marlin, so injured Santiago was at grey whale sharks and picked up the spear, when the moment of the assassination of grey whale sharks, have bite a piece of fish meat, grey whale shark defeated, but as a result of marlin tail meat is bitten off, so much more blood flow, it will let more sharks smell marlin, to marlin. Later, again there are two sharks come, really narrow scalloped hammerhead, shovelnose, but were Santiago uniforms, can be on the way back to Hong Kong, Santiago and ran into a large group of sharks, at this time of Santiago was exhausted, but Santiago also forcibly hold himself with the shark fight, even though he went the full, but in the end the big marlin was eaten, the old man back to the port of big marlin only a skeleton.

So I understand the life road twists and turns, long and full of challenge, but as long as our unremitting efforts, no matter the result is failure or success, is worth people respect.

故事塑造了一个经典的硬汉形象。讲述了古巴的桑提亚哥老人在茫茫的大海钓了8天的鱼都一无所获，然而在故事的第8天，他在远海中钓到了一条巨大的马林鱼，老人虽然在与马林鱼的搏斗中手被割破，但他始终没有放弃，最后在周旋了三天后，将它制服。

然而，桑提亚哥的运气并不好，因为他在制服马林鱼后，一条灰鲸鲨就闻到了马林鱼的味道，便游到了桑提亚哥的渔船旁，准备吃掉马林鱼，于是，受伤的桑提亚哥便又拿起了鱼叉朝灰鲸鲨刺去，当灰鲸鲨被刺的一瞬间，已经咬下了一块鱼尾上的肉，灰鲸鲨被打败了，但由于马林鱼的尾巴上的肉被咬掉了，所以血就流得更加多了，这便让更多鲨鱼闻到马林鱼的气味，过来吃马林鱼。之后，真的又有两条鲨鱼来了，分别是窄头双髻鲨、铲鲨，但都被桑提亚哥制服了，可在回港的路上，桑提亚哥又碰见了一大群鲨鱼，这时的桑提亚哥已是筋疲力竭，但桑提亚哥还强行地撑着自己与鲨鱼搏斗，虽然他使出了全力，但最后大马林鱼还是被吃掉了，老人回港时大马林鱼只剩下一副骨架了。

由此我明白了人生的道路曲折、漫长、充满了挑战，但是只要我们坚持不懈努力过，不管结果是失败还是成功，都是值得人们尊敬的。

Chinese New Year is a lovely festival. So I bought some beautiful flowers. Before Chinese New Year, my family went to the shopping mall and bought a lot of things. There will be a big dinner for every family. My family eats the big dinner together. I was very happy in Chinese New Year.

the origin of chinese new yearchinese new year, pronounced in chinese as "xin nian", always falls on the date of marking the beginning of the spring and thus it is also called the "spring festival". "xin" means "new" and "nian" means "year". there are many stories told about the origin of "nian", which actually is a name of animals.

the old story says that the beast "nian" with a very big mouth was so fierce and could swallow many people in one single bite. people were very scared. an old man offered to subdue "nian" and said to "nian": "i hear that you are very capable, but can you swallow the other beasts instead of people who are by no means of your worthy opponents?" so "nian" swallowed many of the other beasts that hurt people and their domestic animals. the old man turned out to be an immortal god and riding the beast "nian" flied to the heaven.

now that "nian" is gone and other beasts were also scared into forests, people began to enjoy their peaceful life. before the old man left, he had told people to put up red paper decorations on their windows and doors at each years end to scare away "nian" in case it sneaked back again, because red is the color the beast feared the most.

what! The summer vacation goes by so fast, fifty days will pass in a blink

of an eye. During this summer vacation, I spent most of the time playing

basketball. Sometimes I go swimming with my friends. Sometimes play with small

cards. If I was alone, I would ride a bicycle for a ride around, or watch TV, or

go online to find a classmate I miss, chatting, bickering, and solving the pain

of missing. There are many, many programs to play, but my favorite is still

playing basketball.

During this summer vacation, my mother signed me up for a basketball class,

so that I could keep fit and keep my body in good shape. At the same time, I

also want to find my own fun and hobbies. Make this summer a little more

fulfilling.

When I first started learning, I could not learn the basic skills given by

the coach. Even sometimes the coach has already taught me hands-on, and I still

dont understand. Just when I lost my confidence and was about to give up, the

coach came to me and said, "It doesnt matter, whoever learns skills will not go

through a little setback and will be smooth sailing? Who has an amazing talent,

one step to the sky? Dont you rely on the accumulation of bit by bit to make

the same movement well? As long as there is perseverance, the iron pillar will

be ground into a needle!"

After listening to what the coach said, I was at a loss. Begin to practice

hard: I practice pitching on the court while the coach calls everyone to rest.

The coach said that when school was over, I practiced three-step layups on the

court and didnt leave until my family came to tell me. I also often share my

experience with my classmates...

As the saying goes, hard work pays off, and my hard work is not in vain -

now, my basketball skills have improved by leaps and bounds, and I dont only

know a little bit like before. And my physique has also improved, I wont run

out of breath after running 400 meters like before - playing basketball is happy

and healthy!

This summer vacation is happy and fulfilling, and I look forward to the

next summer vacation coming soon!

Hang up red lanterns, happy song sings, with the crackling sound of firecrackers, the Spring Festival party. Below, lets go to a small case of the waste of the Spring Festival. Let SGO!

The Spring Festival: a waste of reciprocity

The Spring Festival is a traditional festival in our country. It is a happy day for family reunion. Most people visit relatives and give gifts to each other. Trinidad send goose, courtesy light weight friendship." It has already been regarded as a custom for many people to send gifts for the Spring Festival. Among the people I am investigating, most people actually spend a lot of money to buy gifts. In fact, we dont have to spend lots of money to buy so many gifts, in fact, as long as the greetings, relatives and friends also met the joys of.

The waste phenomenon of the Spring Festival two: travel out

In the new year, many people like to take their family together to travel, and the cost is quite high, with the convenience of a few million yuan. Some of them go abroad, some go to pray, go to...... The highway is the "car mountain car sea", in common words, one word - blocking! Take the Buddha, the Buddha is straight up the number of 2016. So, I ask you: is it necessary? After the Spring Festival, the best thing is to accompany their parents and children to go shopping street and accompany them. It is not necessary to go to such a distant place.

The waste of the Spring Festival three: set off firecrackers

Crackling crackling......" When it comes to the Spring Festival, firecrackers can be said to be an essential activity for people. But its a waste, too. The smell of smoke produced after the firecrackers will affect peoples health, and the explosion of firecrackers will frighten children and the elderly. The ear injury is beyond doubt -- tinnitus, hearing loss and so on. It will also pollute the environment and cause fires. Also, some people spend lots of money to buy many firecrackers, most will listen to the sound, see the beauty of it, is not how happy, we can choose the new year a more interesting way, do not have to put the choice of firecrackers to celebrate the new year, if it is to set off firecrackers, must go to the specified place a small amount of fireworks.

The waste of the Spring Festival is four:...

Everyone singing and laughing, the scene is beautiful now singing, now dancing! Let us reduce the waste of the Spring Festival, happy happy year, red and red fire in an auspicious year!

With the sound of firecrackers, the Chinese people the most grand festival - the Spring Festival. Thirty, every household paste couplets, eat dumplings, to meet the god of wealth, everyone with joy.

Homonym, outside is very lively, there are a lot of people in the set off firecrackers and fireworks drew a beautiful arc in the sky, and then "on". But set off firecrackers to also want to pay attention to safety! When it finished firecrackers sound for a long time all have no, dont go to see, to avoid being injured.

On the second day, every family began to visit friends and relatives! Mom and dad took me to the grandmothers house. Grandmas house in the countryside, now become more lively, every yard carrying red red lanterns, a door with a bright Spring Festival couplets, festival big everyone, and with firecrackers. Rural life is becoming more and more good, grandmother home dinner is very rich, chicken, duck, fish, to find, after eating, I watched the shock boy in grandmother home the cartoons, we together, talking and laughing, very happy. Before you know it, its time to sleep, this day is really happy!

I sincerely hope that the people across the country have a happy New Year and good luck!

春节习俗英语作文- 用英语介绍春节习俗：

Chinese New Year or Spring Festival is the most important of the traditional Chinese holidays. It is sometimes called the "Lunar New Year" by English speakers. The festival traditionally begins on the first day of the first month (Chinese: 正月; pinyin: zhēng yuè) in the Chinese calendar and ends on the 15th; this day is called Lantern Festival. Chinese New Years Eve is known as chú xī. It literally means "Year-pass Eve".

Chinese New Year is the longest and most important festivity in the Lunar Calendar. The origin of Chinese New Year is itself centuries old and gains significance because of several myths and traditions. Ancient Chinese New Year is a reflection on how the people behaved and what they believed in the most.

Celebrated in areas with large populations of ethnic Chinese, Chinese New Year is considered a major holiday for the Chinese and has had influence on the new year celebrations of its geographic neighbors, as well as cultures with whom the Chinese have had extensive interaction. These include Koreans (Seollal), Tibetans and Bhutanese (Losar), Mongolians (Tsagaan Sar), Vietnamese (T?t), and formerly the Japanese before 1873 (Oshogatsu). Outside of Mainland China, Hong Kong, Macau, and Taiwan, Chinese New Year is also celebrated in countries with significant Han Chinese populations, such as Singapore, Indonesia, Laos, Malaysia, the Philippines, and Thailand. In countries such as Australia, Canada and the United States, although Chinese New Year is not an official holiday, many ethnic Chinese hold large celebrations and Australia Post, Canada Post, and the US Postal Service issues New Years themed stamps.

Within China, regional customs and traditions concerning the celebration of the Chinese new year vary widely. People will pour out their money to buy presents, decoration, material, food, and clothing. It is also the tradition that every family thoroughly cleans the house to sweep away any ill-fortune in hopes to make way for good incoming luck. Windows and doors will be decorated with red colour paper-cuts and couplets with popular themes of “happiness”, “wealth”, and “longevity”. On the Eve of Chinese New Year, supper is a feast with families. Food will include such items as pigs, ducks, chicken and sweet delicacies. The family will end the night with firecrackers. Early the next morning, children will greet their parents by wishing them a healthy and happy new year, and receive money in red paper envelopes. The Chinese New Year tradition is a great way to reconcile forgetting all grudges, and sincerely wish peace and happiness for everyone.

Although the Chinese calendar traditionally does not use continuously numbered years, outside China its years are often numbered from the reign of Huangdi. But at least three different years numbered 1 are now used by various scholars, making the year 2009 "Chinese Year" 4707, 4706, or 4646.

春节习俗英语作文- 用英语介绍春节习俗：春节正月习俗的英文介绍

The Chinese New Year celebrations are marked by visits to kin, relatives and friends, a practice known as "new-year visits" (Chinese: 拜年; pinyin: bài nián). New clothes are usually worn to signify a new year. The colour red is liberally used in all decorations. Red packets are given to juniors and children by the married and elders. See Symbolism below for more explanation.

On the days before the New Year celebration Chinese families give their home a thorough cleaning. There is a Cantonese saying "Wash away the dirt on ninyabaat" (年廿八，洗邋遢), but the practice is not usually restricted on ninyabaat (年廿八, the 28th day of month 12). It is believed the cleaning sweeps away the bad luck of the preceding year and makes their homes ready for good luck. Brooms and dust pans are put away on the first day so that luck cannot be swept away. Some people give their homes, doors and window-frames a new coat of red paint. homes are often decorated with paper cutouts of Chinese auspicious phrases and couplets. Purchasing new clothing, shoes, and receiving a hair-cut also symbolize a fresh start.

In many households where Buddhism or Taoism is prevalent, home altars and statues are cleaned thoroughly, and altars that were adorned with decorations from the previous year are also taken down and burned a week before the new year starts, and replaced with new decorations. Taoists (and Buddhists to a lesser extent) will also "send gods" (送神), an example would be burning a paper effigy of Zao Jun the Kitchen God, the recorder of family functions. This is done so that the Kitchen God can report to the Jade Emperor of the family households transgressions and good deeds. Families often offer sweet foods (such as candy) in order to "bribe" the deities into reporting good things about the family.

The biggest event of any Chinese New Years Eve is the dinner every family will have. A dish consisting of fish will appear on the tables of Chinese families. It is for display for the New Years Eve dinner. This meal is comparable to Christmas dinner in the West. In northern China, it is customary to make dumplings (jiaozi 饺子) after dinner and have it around midnight. Dumplings symbolize wealth because their shape is like a Chinese tael. By contrast, in the South, it is customary to make a new year cake (Niangao, 年糕) after dinner and send pieces of it as gifts to relatives and friends in the coming days of the new year. Niangao literally means increasingly prosperous year in year out. After the dinner, some families go to local temples, hours before the new year begins to pray for a prosperous new year by lighting the first incense of the year; however in modern practice, many households hold parties and even hold a countdown to the new lunar year. Beginning in the 1980s, the CCTV New Years Gala was broadcast four hours before the start of the New Year.

春节习俗英语作文- 用英语介绍春节习俗：First day 初一

The first day is for the welcoming of the deities of the heavens and earth, officially beginning at midnight. Many people, especially Buddhists, abstain from meat consumption on the first day because it is believed that this will ensure longevity for them. Some consider lighting fires and using knives to be bad luck on New Years Day, so all food to be consumed is cooked the day before. For Buddhists, the first day is also the birthday of Maitreya Bodhisattva (better known as the more familiar Budai Luohan), the Buddha-to-be. People also abstain from killing animals.

Most importantly, the first day of Chinese New Year is a time when families visit the oldest and most senior members of their extended family, usually their parents, grandparents or great-grandparents.

Some families may invite a lion dance troupe as a symbolic ritual to usher in the Lunar New Year as well as to evict bad spirits from the premises. Members of the family who are married also give red packets containing cash to junior members of the family, mostly children and teenagers.

While fireworks and firecrackers are traditionally very popular, some regions have banned them due to concerns over fire hazards, which have resulted in increased number of fires around New Years and challenged municipal fire departments work capacity. For this reason, various city governments (e.g., Hong Kong, and Beijing, for a number of years) issued bans over fireworks and firecrackers in certain premises of the city. As a substitute, large-scale fireworks have been launched by governments in cities like Hong Kong to offer citizens the experience.

The second day of the Chinese New Year is for married daughters to visit their birth parents. Traditionally, daughters who have been married may not have the opportunity to visit their birth families frequently.

On the second day, the Chinese pray to their ancestors as well as to all the gods. They are extra kind to dogs and feed them well as it is believed that the second day is the birthday of all dogs.

Business people of the Cantonese dialect group will hold a Hoi Nin prayer to start their business on the 2nd day of Chinese New Year. The prayer is done to pray that they will be blessed with good luck and prosperity in their business for the year.
