再过几天就是春节了，家家都在准备着年货，打扫着卫生，迎接着这个节日 的到来。

走在街上，人人脸上都洋溢着喜庆的笑容，手里提着大包小包，不用说肯定是新年的衣服。商场里，也是人满为患:有小朋友牵着父母的手一起买衣服的，有夫妻俩甜甜蜜蜜买衣服的，还有儿女牵着长辈有说有笑买衣服的，总之大家都是喜气洋洋的。

来到农村，杀猪宰羊……以各自的风俗庆春节，在有的地方还开始了集市，他喊一声买饮料，他喊一声买衣服，这边喊减价了，那边喊买二送一了，各个东西应有尽有，真是琳琅满目，热闹极啦。

到了春节的大年三十晚上，春节晚会就开始了，演小品、说相声、唱歌什么节目都有，一个节目演完台下掌声一片，直到三更半夜人们都困了，节目才完。节目完了，可人们还兴致勃勃，因为还没发压岁钱、放烟花呢!等干完这一切，差不多十二点了，小孩子们都拿着压岁钱去睡觉了大人要闲聊一阵才去睡。

第二天，人们又得起个大早，带着买好的礼物去走亲戚，亲戚多的要走好几天呢，少的也至少要走一天多。

春节真好，可以让人们忙碌的生活得到放松，也可以为大家枯燥的事情添上一些乐趣。

我爱春节!

Waking up on New Year， everybody dresses up。 First they extend greetings to their parents。 Then each child will get money as a New Year gift， wrapped up in red paper。 People in northern China will eat jiaozi， or dumplings， for breakfast， as they think "jiaozi" in sound means "bidding farewell to the old and ushering in the new"。 Also， the shape of the dumpling is like gold ingot from ancient China。 So people eat them and wish for money and treasure。

Southern Chinese eat niangao (New Year cake made of glutinous rice flour) on this occasion， because as a homophone， niangao means "higher and higher， one year after another。" The first five days after the Spring Festival are a good time for relatives， friends， and classmates as well as colleagues to exchange greetings， gifts and chat leisurely。

China has 56 ethnic groups。 Minorities celebrate their Spring Festival almost the same day as the Han people， and they have different customs。

Graduate season is a sad and busy season. After four years’ study, it is

time to say goodbye to your classmates, the building of the deep relationship

makes it hard to say goodbye. At the same time, finding a job is the most

important thing for students, because they need to find their places in the

society. As there are many opportunities for graduate students, they always

don’t know how to do.

I have learned that I should take every chance when they job offer comes,

even though I need to go to a far place to get the interview and there will be

some money that I need to spend. But I will learn many things and become more

competitive.

When the opportunity comes, I will take no hesitation to seize it.

伴随着爆竹的声响，到了中国人最盛大的节日——春节。年三十，家家户户都贴对联、吃饺子、迎财神，人人都欢欢喜喜的。

正月初一，外面十分热闹，有很多人在放鞭炮，鞭炮在空中画了一条优美的弧线，然后就“闪亮登场”了。但是放鞭炮也要注意安全哦!当放完鞭炮很长时间都没有声响，千万不要去看，以免被炸伤。

正月初二，家家户户都开始走亲访友啦!爸爸和妈妈带我去了姥姥家。姥姥家在农村，现在变得更热闹了，家家院子里挑着红红灯笼，门上贴着鲜艳的春联，喜庆的大福字，还有此起彼伏的鞭炮声。农村的生活也越来越好了，姥姥家的晚饭十分丰盛，鸡、鸭、鱼肉，应有尽有，吃完后，我在姥姥家看了《电击小子》这个动画片，我们围在一起，有说有笑，十分开心。不知不觉就到了睡觉的时间了，这一天过得真开心呀!

我真心希望全国人民都新年快乐，大吉大利!

新年快要到了，妈妈买来了做雪花酥的材料。我一听到这个消息，心里乐开了花，便赶紧和妈妈说：“妈妈，做雪花酥的时候能不能我自己炒呀？”妈妈欣然同意了。

快要做雪花酥了，妈妈特别叮嘱我开锅的时候一定要用小火，要不然就炒糊了。

做雪花酥的材料有：黄油、棉花糖、乳粉、饼干、蔓越莓干。

我首先把黄油放进不粘锅内，小火加热黄油融化成黄色水晶一样的颜色。然后加入棉花糖炒成粘稠的样子，之后再依次加入乳粉、饼干和蔓越莓干，迅速翻炒出拉丝的感觉。炒完后把它们倒入模具里，用擀面杖压平，再放入冰箱里冷藏二十分钟即可成型。最后把成型的一大块雪花酥切成长三厘米宽二厘米左右的小长方体，再给每一块雪花酥包装上好看的糖纸就完成了。

真没想到，在短短三十分钟内，就可以做出这么多美味的雪花酥。其实，有些事情并没有那么难，只要我们勇于尝试并且找到了方法，再难的事情也会变得简单。

小小的雪花酥代表着我们对未来生活的期待与向往，希望在新的一年里，我们的生活就像雪花酥一样甜甜蜜蜜！

When we are little, we are eager to grow up, so that we can break free of

parental discipline even leave them far. Since we were a little child, we have

to be governed by teachers in school and endure parent’s ramble at home. These

are our growing pains. Besides, study, friendship, sometimes campus romance may

trouble us. However, as we grow up, we gradually find that things mentioned

above are not pains at all. There are much more serious things brother us. For

example, we may be less sensitive to the simple happiness and loss them

gradually. It’s hard for us to laugh from our heart. Moreover, we are in the age

that we are eager to grow up but afraid to grow up either. The ambivalence

afflicts us a lot. However, no matter what happens in our growth, they are parts

of our lives. We must accept them actively and do not let the pains prevent us

from happiness.

日复一日，年复一年，今天又是除夕夜。家家户户贴春联挂灯笼，吃团圆年夜饭，小孩子们换新装、看烟花，热闹非凡!今天终于把这个重要的节日给盼来了!

早晨一起床，爷爷就去菜场买菜，奶奶在厨房里忙得热火朝天。我也没闲着，在一边帮忙打下手：帮奶奶擦桌子，帮爸爸贴春联，像个陀螺转个不停……

到了晚上，亲朋好友们络绎不绝地来我家拜年。在妈妈的鼓励下，我纷纷给在场的亲人拜了年：“祝爷爷奶奶们健康长寿、万事顺心;祝叔叔阿姨们鸡年行大运、开心每一天!”长辈们一个接一个把红包放在我手上，顿时我心里乐开了花……

“开饭了!”随着老爸一声喊，一大桌丰盛的饭菜上桌了，一股股浓香沁人心脾。大伙们举起酒杯庆祝起来，我肚子早就咕咕地叫个不停，赶紧大吃特吃起来。各色各样的菜蕴含了大家的美好心愿：香甜的八宝粥象征着我们的日子甜甜美美，雪菜黄鱼象征着年年有余，鱼圆肉圆祝愿大家团团圆圆，黄金春卷预示着春天即将来临……

酒足饭饱后，大伙们聚在电视机前开始欣赏年度大片——春节联欢晚会。我们欢声笑语，谈天说地，天南海北地聊开了……

“爆竹声中一岁除，春风送暖入屠苏。千门万户曈曈日，总把新桃换旧符。”我们迎来了新的一年，祝愿祖国繁荣昌盛，人民幸福安康!

在春天与冬天的脚步缓缓交替之际，在2020与2021挥手告别之际，在猪与鼠的匆匆变换之际，我们迎来了新的一年，也迎来了我们传统节日——春节。一个属于全天下炎黄子孙的节日。

炮竹声中迎新年。在新年中放的最多的就是炮竹。你听!大年初一的清晨，我还在睡梦中就听见“噼里啪啦”的声音，震耳欲聋又很有节奏。我连忙穿好漂亮的衣服，洗脸刷牙后拉着爸爸去放炮竹。打开大门，一眼望去全都是人，大家脸上挂着笑容，手里拿着炮竹或打火机，气氛非常热闹。爸爸先拿了一个十分长的鞭炮，把它平放着能从门口放到路上。爸爸快速地点燃导火线，然后躲到一旁。只听“噼里啪啦、噼里啪啦”的声音，像油锅里的红豆子到处乱溅。大家都捂着耳朵，纷纷躲避，却也有止不住的激动与喜悦。炮竹声陆陆续续的止息，留下满地的红色炮竹屑铺在地上，仿佛一条红色的地毯，正在迎接新年的来到，春天的到来。炮竹声中迎新年，这是我们的节日。

舞龙灯中迎新年。“铛铛铛铛”随着锣鼓的阵阵响声，一支舞龙灯的队伍浩浩荡荡地来到了我们村，这条龙是黄红相间的，龙头做工细致，神韵逼真，整条龙活灵活现，舞龙灯的大爷们虽然上了年纪，但他们各个精神抖擞。“咚咚咚锵”领头的一个拿着一个球，他把球往上一舞，大爷们在地上打了一个滚，龙也滚了一个圈，然后追寻着球。球又变了花样，忽上忽下，忽左忽右，龙也就跟着后面忽上忽下，忽左忽右，大爷们越舞越带劲，龙就成了一个波浪形，周围的观众看得是拍案叫绝、拍手叫好、连连称赞。我们几个小孩子更是开心得不得了，嘴都笑得合不拢了，跳着拍手，手拍得红彤彤的也没空理会。接着，龙灯又挨家挨户地舞，每到一家，那家就会挤满人，热闹非凡，当然也不会少了我们这些孩子的身影。不过因为我们还太矮小，所以只有见缝插针才能看到，但是，我们也有不少福利，那就是每到一家，主人总会给我们抓一把糖，手中、嘴里、口袋中都是满满的糖，甜在嘴里也甜在心里。龙灯之中迎新年，这是我们的节日。

春节是中华民族传统的节日，是华夏儿女的节日，是我们的节日。

春节，家家户户都张灯结彩，喜气洋洋。今年的春节，我过得特别有意思。直到今天，我还记忆犹新。

早晨，我们一家人忙开了。妈妈在大门上贴春联。映入我眼帘的是“日丽春常驻，人和福永留”。表示家庭祥和幸福。我呢，则帮妈妈贴“福”字，正要贴在门上。妈妈连忙阻止我，说道：“‘福’字应该倒贴，就是‘福’到的谐音，福光临我们家了。春节帖春联有喜庆、财气、吉祥之意。”我一听，赶紧把“福”字倒贴了。爸爸也在精心准备，挂起了一盏盏红灯笼。我想：这红灯笼难道不就代表着我们祖国的面貌在日新月异地变化着吗?

晚上，该是吃年夜饭的时候了。厨房里弥漫着香气;桌上摆放着丰盛的晚餐，使人看了，口水直流。桌中间有一条鱼，那就表示年年有余。客人们也都到了，欢欢喜喜地坐在桌子面前，津津有味地品尝着年夜饭。爸爸妈妈笑容满面地招呼着客人。全家人都其乐融融，屋子里充满了幸福的气氛。

今年的春节，我过得十分有意义。我希望明年春节，我会过得更好!

The first day of the Lunar New Year is "the welcoming of the gods of the heavens and earth. "Many people abstain from meat on the first day of the new year because it is believed that this will ensure long and happy lives for them.

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.?

The third and fourth days are for the sons-in-laws to pay respect to their parents-in-law.?

The fifth day is called Po Woo. On that day people stay home to welcome the God of Wealth. No one visits families and friends on the fifth day because it will bring both parties bad luck.?

On the sixth to the 10th day, the Chinese visit their relatives and friends freely. They also visit the temples to pray for good fortune and health.?

The seventh day of the New Year is the day for farmers to display their produce. These farmers make a drink from seven types of vegetables to celebrate the occasion. The seventh day is also considered the birthday of human beings. Noodles are eaten to promote longevity and raw fish for success.?

On the eighth day the Fujian people have another family reunion dinner, and at midnight they pray to Tian Gong, the God of Heaven.?

The ninth day is to make offerings to the Jade Emperor.?

The 10th through the 12th are days that friends and relatives should be invited for dinner. After so much rich food, on the 13th day you should have simple rice congee and mustard greens (choi sum) to cleanse the system.

It seems we are living in the conflict between modern and traditional

cultures every day. Hearing the blaring of horns the moment you step out of your

house, seeing the so called "pop" the moment you open your eyes, you cant help

thinking, "Will the traditional culture be gradually lost?"

Many people believe so. They may put right in front of you all the

evidences they can dig out. They may argue that people are rushing to

restaurants instead of cooking at home, listening to pop music but not

traditional, wearing in a way people couldnt imagine ten years ago. Modern

people like the air of freedom, not to be restrained by traditions. They offer

this long list, only trying to confirm that this world is full of

fashion,competition and temptation and the traditional culture is fading and

will be lost at last.

Though we are now living in a world in which undeclared aggression, war,

hypocrisy, chicanery, anarchy are part of our daily life. Though this is a

skeptical age, and our faith has weakened, our confidence in some aspects of the

traditional culture should and would never be lost.

Wouldnt you agree that our traditional culture is always credited with

modesty, politeness and respectfulness, which have always been treasured for

more than five thousand years?Even in this modern world, people still admire

those with good manners, those who are polite to others or respectful to old

people.

Wouldnt you agree that our Chinese traditional music is beautiful and

artistic and our Chinese tea culture is always an appealing treasure to people

around the world?

So there may just be some changes in our lifestyle or our attitudes towards

life, but little change occurs to some fundamental aspects of our traditional

culture that people still treasure in heart.

The traditional culture will never be lost, I believe.
