+ 加入清单There are many different beliefs about the origin of the Lantern Festival.
But one thing for sure is that it had something to do with celebrating and
cultivating positive relationship between people, families, nature and the
higher beings they believed were responsible for bringing/returning the light
each year.
One legend tells us that it was a time to worship Taiyi, the God of Heaven
in ancient times. The belief was that the God of Heaven controlled the destiny
of the human world. He had sixteen dragons at his beck and call and he decided
when to inflict drought, storms, famine or pestilence upon human beings.
Beginning with Qinshihuang, the first emperor to unite the country, all the
emperors ordered splendid ceremonies each year. The emperor would ask Taiyi to
bring favorable weather and good health to him and his people. Emperor Wudi of
the Han Dynasty directed special attention to this event. In 104 BC, he
proclaimed it as one of the most important celebrations and the ceremony would
last throughout the night. They clean it all up in the morning.
Another legend associates the Lantern Festival with Taoism. Tianguan is the
Taoist god responsible for good fortune. His birthday falls on the 15th day of
the first lunar month. It is said that Tianguan likes all types of
entertainment, so followers prepare various kinds of activities during which
they pray for good fortune.
Yet another common legend dealing with the origins of the Lantern Festival
speaks of a beautiful bird that flew down to earth from heaven, which was hunted
and killed by some villagers. This angered the Jade Emperor in Heaven because
the bird was his favorite one. Therefore, he planned a storm of fire to destroy
the village on the 15th lunar day. The Jade Emperors daughter heard of this
plan, and warned the villagers of her father’s plan to destroy their village.
The village was in turmoil because nobody knew how should they escape their
imminent destruction.
However, a wise man from another village suggested that every family should
hang red lanterns around their houses, set up bonfires on the streets, and
explode firecrackers on the 14th, 15th, and 16th lunar days. This would give the
village the appearance of being on fire to the Jade Emperor. On the 15th lunar
day, troops sent down from heaven whose mission was to destroy the village saw
that the village was already ablaze, and returned to heaven to report to the
Jade Emperor. Satisfied, the Jade Emperor decided not to burn down the village.
From that day on, people celebrate the anniversary on the 15th lunar day every
year by carrying red lanterns on the streets and exploding firecrackers and
fireworks.
There are many stories on how this festival was created. One other story is
about a maid. In the Han Dynasty, Mr. Eastern was a favorite advisor of the
emperor. One winter day, he went to the garden and heard a little girl crying
and getting ready to jump into a well to commit suicide. Mr. Eastern stopped her
and asked why. She said she was a maid in the emperors palace and her name was
Yuan-Xiao.
She never had the chance to meet her family after she started worked at the
palace. She missed them so much every 12th lunar month. If she couldnt have the
chance to show her filial piety in this life, she would rather die. Mr. Eastern
promised her to find a way so she could reunion with her family. Mr. Eastern
left the palace and set up a fortune-telling stall on the street and disguised
himself as a fortuneteller. Because of his reputation, many people asked for
their fortunes.
But every one got the same prediction - a severe fire accident on the 15th
lunar day. The rumor spread quickly. Everyone was worried about the future and
asked Mr. Eastern for help. Mr. Eastern said, "On the 13th lunar day, the God of
Fire will send a fairy lady in red to burn down the city. If you see a lady in
red wearing green pants riding a black horse on that day, you should ask for her
mercy." On that day, Yuan-Xiao pretended to be the red fairy lady. When people
asked for her help, she said, "Im the messenger of the God of Fire and came to
check on the city and Im going to set up fire on 15th. This is an order from
Jade Emperor. He will watch from the heavens.
I will give you a copy of the imperial decree from the God of Fire. You
should go to ask your emperor to find a way out." After she left, people went to
the palace to show the emperor the decree which reads "The capital city is in
trouble. Fire burns on the palace, and fire from Heaven burns all night long on
the 15th." The emperor of Han Dynasty was very shocked. He called and asked Mr.
Eastern for advice. After pondering for a while, Mr. Eastern said, "I heard that
the God of Fire likes to eat Tang-Yuan (Sweet dumpling). Does Yuan-Xiao often
cook Tang-Yuan for you? On the 15th lunar day, let Yuan-Xiao make Tang-Yuan.
Your Majesty will take charge of the worshipping ceremony and you will give
an order to every house to prepare Tang-Yuan to worship the God of Fire at the
same time. Also, deliver another order to ask every house in the city to hang
red lantern and explode fire crackers. Lastly, everyone in the palace and people
outside the city should carry their lanterns on the street to watch the lantern
decoration and fireworks. If everything goes this way, the Jade Emperor would be
deceived.
Then everyone can avoid the fire accident." The emperor happily followed
the plan. Lanterns were everywhere in the capital city on the night of the 15th
lunar day. People were walking on the street. Fire crackers kept making lots of
noise. It looked like the entire city was on fire. Yuan-Xiaos parents went into
the palace to watch the lantern decorations, and Yuan-Xiao made a big lantern
and wrote her name on the lantern. They happily reunited together after her
parents called her name. Everybody was safe during the night. The emperor of Han
Dynasty had a new order that people should do the same thing every year. Since
Yuan-Xiao cooked the best Tan-Yuan, people called the day Yuan-Xiao
Festival.
Young people were chaperoned in the streets in hopes of finding love.
Matchmakers acted busily in hopes of pairing couples. The brightest lanterns
were symbolic of good luck and hope. As time has passed, the festival no longer
has such implications.
Those who do not carry lanterns often enjoy watching informal lantern
parades. In addition to eating tangyuan (simplified Chinese: 汤圆; traditional
Chinese: 湯圓; pinyin: tāngyuán), another popular activity at this festival is
guessing lantern riddles (which became part of the festival during the Tang
Dynasty), which often contain messages of good fortune, family reunion, abundant
harvest, prosperity and love.

篇2:关于网购英语作文高中
全文共 938 字
+ 加入清单Which is better, shopping online or traditional shopping? Different people
have different attitudes towards it. Some people think that online shopping is
very convenient, for it can save them a lot of time and energy. It’s especially
helpful for those who are always busy with their work. Besides, through the
internet, they can get more information about the commodities they want to buy
and buy a lot of things that cannot be bought in local places.
Nevertheless, I’m not keen on online shopping at all, since most
commodities which are bought online are of poor quality. Once we are cheated, we
may find it difficult to make a complaint. Thus we should take more cautions
when shopping online.
In my eyes, I prefer traditional shopping, because I can choose what I
really need. Also, I can know the quality of every commodity more clearly. Even
if there’s something wrong with the commodities, I can still ask the sellers to
compensate for my loss.

+ 加入清单As the drawing presents, there is a man walking across the street
absorbedly focusing on his cell phone without noticing the surroundings. This
sort of phenomenon is not uncommon and rare in some metropolis, especially among
the youngsters.
What the picture illustrates is the prevailing situation that has long
existed in todays China. That is the mobile phone obsession. With the advent of
information age, people are becoming
increasingly fascinated on the electronic products, especially the cell
phones. Not surprisingly, you could easily notice that most of us are obsessed
in sending messages, playing online games with their mobile phones. It cannot be
denied that this phenomenon may negatively impact the relationship among people,
and therefore they will become estranged and isolated.
Personally, in view of the overuse of mobile phones, I hold that we
individuals should raise the necessary awareness that good relationships are
reinforced by sincere and face-to-face communication.

+ 加入清单Should students go on further study or find a job after leaving high
school?
Time spent in campus is not always treated with gracious look, but some
parents may choose other ways for the longevity of their childrens
post-high-school period, namely, find the adolescents a job, rather than sending
them to a college. I can find myself against this act for a thousand reasons,
amongst which we can figure some strongest ones as follows:
My first con against this behavior is that education is not just a benefit
but also ones rights. Without education , as Gorge Orwell had once said ,is to
be deprived of the most precious privilege in our time as a modern man. With
college education , youngsters can choose a better way of doing thing correctly
and more efficiently. The sharp contrast between those who have received well
education and those without is not just financially, but more vitally,
spiritually.
Admittedly, we can find cases of some one achieves without college
education, but these cases are famous only because they are rare. Those people
who succeed with a college degree are so many that this would seem to be a must
and a natural part of elites. The absence of university education is hard to
imagine in our days. The prospect of those juvenile workers or businessmen would
be even dimmer than ever before .For in our age, knowledge is not only the
power, but also the know-how to solving problems and gaining a much larger
fortune.

+ 加入清单Cell phones have become increasingly popular in china these days. wherever
you go you can see people using cell phones. many college students, even high
school students, have cell phones.
Cell phones have brought people a lot of benefits, but the most important
is that they are convenient. with cell phones in their hands, they can keep in
touch with anybody they want. if they want to get some information from the
internet, they can easily have their dream realized via cell phones too.
furthermore, if someone has a heart attack or a traffic accident, a call to
emergency hospital or to the police can quickly bring him the help he wants.
However, cell phones can also bring people problems. the most serious is
the electric wave radiation which is thought to be harmful to users brains.
another problem is that when people are having a meeting or having a class or at
a concert etc, the ring of the cell phone may interrupt others. so i think
people should use cellphones as little as possible and turn them off when they
are attending important meetings or attending classes.

their duty and they dont realize the meaning of study. Most people believe that
the purpose of study is to master some skills and make money. This is the basic
function of education. I believe that the further meaning is to teach people the
way of thinking. If there are two jobs, one is to sell pastry for 12 hours, and
the other one is to work in the office for 8 hours, but the former can earn
double income. The young people will surely take the second job, because they
need more private time to do their own things. They have more things to chase

female stars as the most beautiful scenery are always the media’s beloved. When
these women were asked to give advice to the young girls, they give their
