Chinese New Year

中国年

Chinese New Year is coming and my family is very busy. Its because Chinese New Year is very special and important. We must prepare many special things to get ready for this festival.

中国年马上就来了，我们全家人都沉浸在一片忙碌之中。这是因为中国的农历新年是非常的特殊与重要。我们必须为这个节日准备很多特殊的东西。

First, will make a big New Year meal.

首先，我们需要做很丰盛的一顿年夜饭！

Second, we will make “Good-luck wishes.”

其次，我们需要“祝愿来年幸运”。

There are many festivals in China，During these holidays, my favorite holiday is Chinese New Year.Not only because it’s the biggest festival in the year, but also because it’s a new beginning that brings hope to people and it’s time for family gathering.Before the festival, people come home no matter where they are.Usually, we have a big dinner on the New Year’s Eve. And then families sit together and share their lives or planes.Some will play games or hang out to have some fun.

On the New Year’s Day, people get up early and say good words to anyone they meet.Children can get lucky money from relatives.In the following days, we will visit relative’s home and bring New Year’s wishes to them.In short, it’s a time for family gathering and all of us enjoy it.

在中国，一年有很多节日，在这些节日中，我最喜欢春节。这不仅因为它是一年中最大的节日，更因为它是新一年的开始，给人们带来新的希望，也因为它是亲朋好友团聚的时刻。不管身在何方，人们总会在春节前回到家里准备过节。

通常，我们会在除夕夜吃一顿丰盛的晚餐，之后家人团座一起，分享一年以来的生活以及新年计划。有的人则会玩游戏或者出去玩。大年初一，人们通常会早起，会与见到的人说吉祥话。孩子们会得到压岁钱。在接下来的几天里，人们会带上新年祝福互相串门拜年。总之，春节是一个欢聚一堂、供人享乐的日子。

As is known to all， food is a priority for the mon people.Recently，

however， reports about food problems have often been seen in the newspapers，

showing that people have always been concerned about what they eat every day.

The reason for this problem is that some of the food producers are too fond of

making money， leading to the result that they use whatever will make the food

look good or taste better without considering the bad consequences。 This is not

normal because people just cannot live without eating anything.

So we should take all the measures necessary to forbid the food producers

to make food that is not safe enough. Laws should be strengthened and the

government should have more control over these producers。 Only when people are

no longer worried about whether their food is safe or not can they enjoy a

better life.

My Spring Festival Spring Festival with you, I am back to my hometown of henan RuNa, put a lot of all kinds of guns, a large paper gun, the flying ray, flying rockets, mine and so on.

One day, I took a 30 cm high, a large diameter 20 cm, white paper gun in the snow, its power is greater than the small hand grenades, I use the lighter lit the fire, and then I quickly ran into the house, 1, 2, 3, boom, as if the earth were to vibrate, I ran to see, have a big snow hole, larger than I had imagined.

我的春节和你们的春节大不相同，我回了河南汝南的老家，放了许多各种各样的炮，有大纸炮、飞天雷、飞天火箭、水雷等等。

有一天，我把一个有30厘米高，直径20厘米的白色大纸炮放在雪堆里，它的威力比小型手榴弹的还大，我用火机点燃了火线，然后我很快的跑进了屋里，1、2、3，轰的一声，好像大地都被震得颤动起来，我跑上去一看，雪堆上有一个很大的洞，比我想象得还要大。我们又把水雷往水里里一扔，很大一个水花一飞冲天，威力无边，把水面的冰都炸得飞了起来，水面上出现了壮观的景象，很多黑色的烟从水而起。

在老家过年真开心，我可以放炮，还可以率领很多童子军，我在老家的这几天玩得很开心。

In the matter of courage we all have our limits. There never was a hero who

whose courage has been advertised that there came times in their lives when

their bravery knew it had come to its limit.

I have found mine a good many times. Sometimes this was expected--often it

was unexpected. I know a man who is not afraid to sleep with a rattle-snake, but

you could not get him to sleep with a safety-razor.

I never had the courage to talk across a long, narrow room. I should be at

the end of the room facing all the audience. If I attempt to talk across a room

I find myself turning this way and that, and thus at alternate periods I have

“今非昔比”的意思是今日的局面与往日不同。随着科技的发展，一切都发生了改变，咱们老祖宗传下来的春节也不例外。

童年时的春节在我的记忆里很热闹，也十分让人怀念。

除夕那天家家都会亲自写春联，有的人显得不够好，他们会请隔壁的张大伯替他们写。张大伯是位地理先生，写得一手好字，特别是毛笔字尤其出色。我从小就爱看张大伯写字，因为我非常羡慕他，所以我对鞋子充满了兴趣。们每个双休日我都会脸上毛笔字，这几乎已成为我每天必做之事。

除夕夜，一家人坐在桌子上吃丰盛的晚餐，每个人都会向长辈终结者一年的收获。接下来就是一家人坐在电视前满怀期待的等候“春节晚会”这是无论老人还是孩子都喜欢的节目，大人们喜欢打牌。就这样不知不觉就到了早晨，守了岁。

大年初一，一家人吃着水饺汤圆，随着一声声鞭炮声，大人们带着小孩到邻居家和亲朋好友家拜年，小孩可以得到压岁钱、零食，所以这也是小孩们最高兴的事情。拜完年，可以随心所欲地做任何事。

今年的春节比以往的都要简节。

除夕，家家都买春年贴，因为张大伯先不久死了，是我对写字的热爱日益消减。

除夕夜，再也不像往年一样，一家子坐在一起。如今，是各在各家，各吃个饭。吃完饭。小孩出来放烟火，烟火是很美丽的，当年只是灿烂一时。星星是永恒的，而烟火一放就消失。看着烟火，想起了自己的人生，活着的意义就是像星星那样美丽而又短暂，死后，没有人会知道它的存在，永远的被遗忘。

大年初一，吃着现买现卖的汤圆，听着鞭炮声，新的一年被开启了。互拜新年，而压岁钱、零食已是奢侈品，不再新奇。之后，我也不知道干什么了，或许我要努力学习。

总而言之，言而总之，今年的春节很特别，因为我又长了一岁，我懂得思考人生，我成熟了。

新的一年又过去了，终于到了除夕，我们这一大家子，又在老家相会了，于是我们便在一起吃起了年夜饭。

说起年夜饭，那当然就是饺子。

我们走进厨房，一把抓起面团，就开始做面皮，十几分钟过去了，所有的面团都变成了一片片薄薄的面片儿。

忙完了这些我和妈妈便在一起包饺子，爸爸则在一旁调汤爸爸的工作很快就做完，便来帮助我和妈妈，俗话说人多力量大，有了爸爸的帮助。我们很快就包完了。

最后我们我们一起吃饺子，这是我一年中吃过最好吃的饺子！

Spring Festival

春节

The Spring Festival is very important to Chinese people. In the past，people could not often have meat，rice or other delicious food. They could only eat these during the Spring festival. So every year they hoped that the Spring Festival would come soon. Now， although people‘s life is much better，and we can eat the delicious foods everyday. People still like the festival. Because most people can have a long holiday，and we are free to go on a trip or visit our friends or have parties with our family. In the evenings，we can have a big meal in the restaurant or stay at home with family and watch the TV programs.

春节对中国人来说非常重要。在过去，人们往往没有肉，大米或其他美味的食物吃。他们通常只能在春节吃到这些。所以每年他们都希望春节可以快点来。现在，虽然人们的生活好多了，我们每天都可以吃美味的食物。人们仍然喜欢的春节。因为大多数人可以有一个很长的假期，我们可以自由地去旅行或拜访我们的朋友或与我们的家人聚会。晚上，我们可以在餐厅大吃一顿，或与家人留在家里看电视节目。

酒足饭饱以后，我们迫不及待的打开电视来看春晚。大家一边嗑着瓜子，一边说着闲话。春晚的节目真精彩!有惊心动魄的杂技，有让人产生好奇心的魔术，有发笑后又令人深思的小品，还有优美的舞蹈。看得我都入迷了!

当然最吸引我的还是放鞭炮。看完春晚，我们被外面“五彩缤纷的世界”吸引住了，我和妹妹一家也下楼放鞭炮了。刚下去，爸爸就把我们买的那一大串鞭炮拿了出来，用打火机点着烟花的导火线，只听“砰”的一声，一个小火球直冲上天，“啪”小火球在空中炸开了，飞散的火星点缀得天空绚丽多彩。看到这里，我们手舞足蹈欢呼起来，大家都沉浸在一片欢笑声中。

除夕之夜，真令我难忘!我一定会记住这美好的时刻!

An unforgettable 200 word composition for the Spring Festival

一天又一天，一年又一年，不知不觉地就迎来了春节这个热闹的节日。

“腊七腊八，冻死寒鸦”，这是一年最冷的时候。在腊八这天，家家都熬腊八粥。粥是用各种米、各种豆和各种干果熬成的。除此之外还要泡腊八蒜，把蒜放进醋坛子里封起来，为过年吃饺子用。等蒜泡得色如翡翠时，就可以配着饺子吃了。香喷喷的饺子、美味的腊八蒜、热乎乎的腊八粥那好闻的味儿飘向每一条小巷，使在小巷里走的行人都奈不住激动的心情，快速跑回家吃饭了。

腊月二十三过小年，差不多就是春节的“彩排”。天一擦黑，鞭炮响起来，便有了过年的味道。这一天，是要吃糖的，街上有好多卖芝麻糖的，糖的形状是长条形，一口下去，满嘴香味，还有一点点黏牙，小孩子们最喜欢。但如果糖吃多了，大人就会劝告小孩子们不要吃了。

没几天就到了高潮：除夕。除夕真热闹，家家赶做年夜菜，到处是酒肉的香味。男女老少都穿起新衣，在门上贴对联。有的人都会把“福”倒着贴，不懂事的小孩就该问了，大人们总会耐心地告诉小孩，这样的寓意是“福到了”，是吉祥的意思。除夕夜，家家灯火通宵，不许间断，鞭炮日夜不绝。在外边做事的人，除非万不得己，必定赶回家吃团圆饭。

一眨眼，到了残灯未庙，春节在正月十九结束了，学生该去上学了，大人们又去照常做事。热闹的春节又不知不觉地走了。

Spring Festival is the most important festival for Chinese people. The Spring Festival is very exciting, especially on the eve of the Spring Festival.

春节对于中国人来说是最重要的节日。在每年的春节都让人兴高采烈，尤其是大年三十那晚，更是达到了高潮。

The Spring Festival lasts for 15 days, there would be starting on the first day, to the end of the January 15 Lantern Festival.it is the busiest time of the year for Chinese people. The arrangements they have to make for family reunions， buying necessities and preparing food keeps them busy throughout the holiday. Many of them travel back home and meet friends over dinner and drinks. The celebrations include decorating the house and setting off fireworks.But we are talking about a tradition that seems to be fading.

春节一共有15天，从大年初一开始，到元月十五元宵节这一天结束。在这段比较长的时间是中国人最忙的时候，他们为家庭聚会作安排，采购年货，准备丰盛的食物，以至于整个春节假期都忙忙碌碌的。许多人在春季期间都要回老家过年，跟朋友碰碰头，聚个餐。庆祝春节也包括大扫除和放烟火。但是我们现在要谈的是越来越淡的年味。

Spring Festival， as it is celebrated today， has undergone many changes， thanks to the country‘s economic development and globalization.

现在的春节已经因为我国经济的发展和全球化的影响而改变了很多。

Yet no Spring Festival is complete without food. People could not get good food whenever they desired in earlier times， something that does not apply to society today. More often than not， people faced the risk of famine. The best time for people to celebrate was when food was available in plenty， and that was possible in spring， or the beginning of the lunar new year. That was the main reason why Spring Festival acquired such great importance among Chinese people.

但是没有哪个春节是完全离得开“吃”的。从前，不论人们提前多久想要买年货，总是不能如愿，而现在早已今非昔比。过去常常还要闹饥荒。人们最好的庆祝时间就是他们能得到食物丰盛的时候，也就是春天或是元月初的那段时间。那也是为什么春节对于中国人如此重要的主要原因。

But three decades of economic growth has ensured that people in China， except for those who are still poor， can enjoy a good meal whenever they want. Such has been the change in people‘s fortune that some have to be treated for obesity and other health problems associated with excessive eating.

但是三十年来的经济发展已经让中国人，除了那些仍然穷苦的人以外，随时都能享受美食。这得益于人民财富的增长，但是后者也导致一些人吃得太多而受到肥胖威胁和健康问题。

In the past， celebrations were limited to events like song-and-dance duets in North China， dragon/lion dances in South China and fireworks， which required the joint efforts of the entire community. But economic development and urbanization seems to have weakened the social links among people. Many， especially those living in cities， are not interested in celebrating the festival with people they hardly know.

在过去，庆祝春节还只停留在北方的二人转和南方的舞龙舞狮等形式。那些庆祝活动往往需要许多人合力才能办得起来。但是经济的发展和国际化程度的提升似乎已经将这种社会联系弱化了。许多人，特别是城市居民，不太愿意与不相识的人一起共度春节。

Many customs associated with Spring Festival have changed， too. In the past， people used to visit relatives and friends with gifts and lots of good wishes. Today， many people， especially the youth， use their cell phones or the Internet to send their good wishes and even "gifts" to their relatives and friends. Some may say this a sign that people have become less caring about their near and dear ones， but we should see this development as a time- and energy-saving exercise granted by the information age.

与春节相关的许多习俗也被改变了。在过去，人们常常会带着礼物走亲访友，互道祝福。今天许多人，特别是年轻人，用手机或是网络向亲朋好友发去“礼物”和祝福。有些人或许会说，这说明人们已经没有那么关心至爱亲朋了，但是我们应该把这种变化看作信息化时代省钱省力的好办法。

In recent times， many people have started praying for a career promotion or more money instead of invoking God or the Buddha for a healthy and long life and the welfare of their family. But the number of such people is decreasing now， which shows that people are becoming more reasonable.

最近几年，许多人开始祈祷事业高升，财源滚滚，而不是求神拜佛，他们身体健康，长命百岁，家庭美满。但是这样的人数现在正在减少，说明人们开始变得更加理性。

【舌尖上的年夜饭】

春节，一个传统而重要的节日。这天，家人们都会从四面八方赶来一起团聚，穿漂亮的新衣和吃年夜饭。

说到年夜饭，自然得提起我奶奶的厨艺。一吃就让人口齿留香，再也忘不了，而我作为她最疼的孙子，自然有口福，吃到她可口的饭菜。红烧鸡翅是她最拿手的菜之一，每天要是吃不到她做的菜，基本上就不能活了。而在春节期间，每顿饭都被安排得满满的，每个人都想尝尝我奶奶亲自做的饭。

在除夕夜，我们一家人团聚。吃着奶奶做的饭，心里别提有多开心了。先看这个脆皮虾，外酥里脆，一口咬下去。甜蜜在舌尖萦绕，久久弥散不开，让人流连忘返。在看那个辣子鸡丁，是多么的有嚼劲，让人久久萦绕在它的美味之中，辣味给味觉带来了强烈的冲击仔与鸡肉鲜味的质感冲撞在一起给人以强烈的化学反应。在看这个松鼠桂鱼，做的就是一个字“甜”，让我的舌尖在也安奈不住想吃的愿望，一阵大快朵颐之后，终于消灭掉所有敌人。家里人看着我满足的样子，欣慰的笑了。而奶奶却始终不肯吃自己煮的饭。偏要留给我自己吃，让我感动不已含着泪把自己的饭吃光，不剩一粒米。

舌尖上的年夜饭，感动我也让我感到快乐。下一个春节你何时到来?

Chinese New Year! Every place has different customs, and each has its own characteristics. I had the opportunity to back to my home in chongqing this year New Years day, let me introduce you to the Spring Festival customs of tujia.

New Years eve at noon, I saw my grandma cooked a lot of rice, just curious to ask: why want to cook so much rice, we also cant eat a meal? Grandmother replied: "want to cook some more, todays day cant cook fresh rice again. For tujia people seldom eat fish, so be about to cook more, it is also called more every year."

New Years eve afternoon, grandpa and father stick couplets, I also coincided with in the past. East, west to see see. When my father asked me: "do you know why do we need to stick couplets?" I answered: "know a little bit, festive bai." "Also right, couplet to express the good wish of people to pray for good fortune in the New Year. Now we stick couplets, cannot go toward outside throwing things, even cant throw rubbish, until annual lunar calendar to throw things. This means that circle the goods at home." Dad went on to say that.

On the evening of New Years eve, the home of the elder led the family to "worship the mountain ancestor worship". On the front of ancestors grave red candle and incense, placed offerings, to miss to ancestors. This also is respect for them.

These are the Spring Festival customs of tujia, I know you think its interesting.

过年啦!每个地方都有不同的习俗，并且都各具特色。今年我有幸回趟老家重庆过年，就让我给大家介绍一下土家族的春节习俗吧。

除夕的中午，我见奶奶煮了好多饭，就好奇的上前去询问：为什么要煮这么多饭，我们一顿也吃不了呀?奶奶回答道：“今天要多煮一些，大年初一可不能再煮新鲜饭。因为土家族人很少吃鱼，所以就要多煮饭，这也叫‘年年有余’吧。”

除夕的下午，爷爷和爸爸一起贴对联，我也过去凑热闹。东看看，西瞧瞧。这时爸爸问我：“你知道我们为什么要贴对联吗?”我回答：“知道一点点，喜庆呗。”“也对吧，对联是为了表达人们祈求新年福运的美好心愿。现在我们贴好了对联，就不能往外扔东西了，连垃圾也不能扔，一直要到大年初二才可以扔东西。这样就表示把财圈在家里了。”爸爸接着说。

除夕的傍晚，由家里的最长者带领全家去“拜山祭祖”。在先辈的坟前点上红烛和香，摆上祭品，以表对先辈的怀念。这也是对他们的尊敬。

这些就是我了解的土家人的春节习俗，你觉得有趣吧。
