[高中优秀英语作文：《春节》

今年，终于可以回家乡过年了，我的心情就像刚出生小鸟一般的心情，不过最让我伤心的事是：老爷爷死了。回到家，让我看到的是青的草，清的水，还有许多小朋友在玩，可开心了。在一家农民家传来了一股让人陶醉的香味，我进去一看是一束花，我真是百闻不厌啊。过了几天，该回去了，颜氏回去之前有个风俗习惯谁死了就把他的照片放在前面，大家跪着祭拜他，然后去山上，颜氏全部都出动了，在山上我一共摔了两下还是坚持爬到了山上，现在想起来，真是有点后怕。

“爆竹声中一岁除，春风送暖入屠苏。”在这雪花漫天飞舞的二月里，我们迎来了中华名族的传统节日——春节。她是多姿多彩的、她是热闹非凡的、她是炫彩美丽的！

年三十的早晨，我早早地起床，给大家拜年。每个人都十分愉快，露出了灿烂、幸福的笑容。太阳在空中向我们招手，云朵在空中无忧无虑地漂浮着，好像在展现她那婀娜多姿的身材。站在草坪上，深呼一口气，清新的空气中弥漫着新春的气息……

晚饭时间到了，我们一家人围坐在桌子上，有说有笑。桌上的饭菜真是美味佳肴，浓郁的菜香布满了整个屋子……激动人心的时刻到了，长辈们要发红包啦！领红包的过程，真是让人忍俊不禁！为了拿到红包，家里的小朋友们想尽各种办法逗大人开心。当我拿到第一个红包时，心里像吃了蜜一样甜！

新年里，我和家人一起去了位于南汇滴水湖畔的“中国航海博物馆”。初步探究了中国的航海历史。

刚走进馆内，一艘巨型的木船，吸引了我们所有人的目光，我们顺着一旁的楼梯来到船的甲板上，听了解说员对这艘船的介绍，才知道这是仿照郑和下西洋时乘坐的大船建造出来的一样的船只，它的名字叫“福船”。站在船头，霎时间，眼前浮现出它与郑和一起下西洋的种种经历，还有和船员们一起并肩作战克服这些困难的情景。船帆笔直得矗立在船中央，就像一个高大无比的巨人，据说需要十多个人齐心协力才能将它拉起来。顷刻间，一种想要扬帆出海的欲望涌上我的心头。

接着，我们参观了许多船的模型，个个做工精湛，栩栩如生。最让我喜爱又充满好奇的是“瓶中船。”它是在瓶子内搭建而成的，然而瓶口很小，船的大小比瓶口还大，真是不可思议，让我对搭建“瓶中船”的人充满了钦佩！

来到二楼，我们参观了船身的内部结构。比如，一艘船的船舱，是由许多小船舱组成的。这样是为了在一个船舱进水的时候，阻止水进入其他船舱，导致整艘船下沉。我们还参观了一个两层楼高的发动机，我站在它的面前，抬头向上望，感到自己好渺小。

在这个博物馆，我了解到了很多关于航海的知识，开阔了我的眼界。大家都觉得收获很大。

回到家，大家一起包饺子，好不热闹。于是，我穿上新衣，戴上围巾和手套，迫不及待地拿起花炮在小区门口玩耍……当我回到家时，桌子上摆满了金元宝一般的饺子，此时此刻，我们已经垂涎三尺。

“噼里啪啦！噼里啪啦……”“轰……啪啦……”爆竹声此起彼伏，震耳欲聋。各种各样的礼花冲上天，在空中绽放开来，宛如一朵朵炫丽的花朵，为这新年的夜晚增添了缤纷的色彩，美丽极了！大街上锣鼓喧天，人山人海，灯火通明，人们心情舒畅，他们尽情享受这美丽春节带来的欢愉！

一年中，有许许多多的节日，其中我最喜欢春节。因为她象征着新希望的开始。所以在新的一年里，我要更努力，做到更好。

春节是喜庆的，春节是热闹的，春节更是美丽的！

The Spring Festival, the most jubilant and important festival in China, is

observed by most Chinese people at home and abroad. Our hometown is not an

exception.

Similar with other places in china, we prepare for the festival about half

a month before. With the lunar New Year approaching, the red lanterns are hung

up along the main streets, making the ancient town filled with the festival

atmosphere. While people clean up their houses, decorate it with traditional

decorations such as Chinese knots and paper cutting. Each family pastes up

Spring Festival couplets to convey their best wishes for the coming year.

The Spring Festival is our most solemn and most grand festival in China. Each family has been busy with a morning — — a spring festival couplet, a lantern hanging, a house cleaning, the preparation for the night dinner, all busy. My family is no exception.

Father and mother got up early to prepare for the Spring Festival. When I saw the big table, I couldnt help but the water. Chicken, duck, goose, meat, make me hungry all hook up. I hurried to ask my mother when I could eat the dinner. But the mother laughed and said, "“ and the firecrackers!" Look, youre in a hurry! ” I was embarrassed to laugh.

At the time of the dinner, my father and mother were happy to talk about his family. I could not understand it. I can only eat at one side. After dinner, our family went to play in the street together. The number of fireworks in the sky is not too many, even the car can only stop in remote places. Mother said: “ is this the people who see people, people squeeze people? ” I dont think so on the side. I looked at the flying fireworks with great relish.

We went to Lenin park to see the lantern. This is really a sea of people, but there are countless lights. The lantern here is a great variety of things. I picked up a flower lantern, which contained a plastic lotus flower, which contained a lamp. The four sides of the room embroidered dragon and the idiom of dragon, and I bought it at once.

There were more than a dozen minutes for the cannon away, and more and more people in the park. Father jokingly said: “ just go under the attic watch it here squashed. ” I and my mother laughed and said how could it be possible? But the weather, the sky began to fine drizzling rain but it could not withstand, peoples footsteps, many people still see salute.

When its time to put a gun, the park is more crowded. I stayed at the sight of such a beautiful cannon. I kept my eyes on the cannon, and even my father and mother called me, I didnt know. I have been intoxicated by the cannon in the sky at this moment.

The Spring Festival is the grand and grand festival in China, and it is also my favorite festival every year.

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.
