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”。

2015年大年初一是2015年2月19日，恰逢雨水节气。

雨水是24节气中的第2个节气。每年的正月十五前后(公历2月18-20日)，太阳黄经达330度时，气温回升、冰雪融化、降水增多，故取名为雨水。雨水节气时段一般从2月18日或19日开始，到3月4日或5日结束。雨水和谷雨、小雪、大雪一样，都是反映降水现象的节气。

《月令七十二候集解》：“正月中，天一生水。春始属木，然生木者必水也，故立春后继之雨水。且东风既解冻，则散而为雨矣。”意思是说，雨水节气前后，万物开始萌动，春天就要到了。如在《逸周书》中就有雨水节后“鸿雁来”“草木萌动”等物候记载。

中医认为肝主生发，故春季肝气旺盛，肝木易克脾土，故春季养生不当容易损伤脾脏，从而导致脾胃功能的下降。在雨水节气之后，随着降雨有所增多，寒湿之邪最易困着脾脏。同时湿邪留恋，难以去除，故雨水前后应当着重养护脾脏。春季养脾的重点首先在于调畅肝脏，保持肝气调和顺畅，在饮食上要保持均衡，食物中的蛋白质、碳水化合物、脂肪、维生素、矿物质等要保持相应的比例。同时还要保持五味不偏，尽量少吃辛辣食品，多吃新鲜蔬菜、等。其次，要注意健脾利湿。内以养护脾气，外以清利湿邪，从而达到养脾的目的。春寒料峭，湿气一般夹“寒”而来，因此雨水前后必须注意保暖，切勿受凉。同时少食生冷之物，以顾护脾胃阳气。平时可多吃些诸如鲫鱼、胡萝卜、山药、小米等食物，以达到健脾的目的。 雨水时节，还要预防“倒春寒”。这是因为初春的降雨会引起气温的骤然下降，这尤其对老年人和小孩的身体健康威胁较大，特别是温度骤然下降的时候，老年人的血压会明显升高，容易诱发心脏病、心肌梗塞等;小孩则容易因气温的改变而引起呼吸系统疾病，导致感冒和发烧。所以这里还要再次提醒大家，春季要注意保暖，不要过早减少衣物。

我国古代将雨水分为三候：“一候獭祭鱼;二候鸿雁来;三候草木萌动。”此节气，水獭开始捕鱼了，将鱼摆在岸边如同先祭后食的样子;五天过后，大雁开始从南方飞回北方;再过五天，在“润物细无声”的春雨中，草木随地中阳气的上腾而开始抽出嫩芽。从此，大地渐渐开始呈现出一派欣欣向荣的景象。

今天吃晚饭之前，我跟妹妹和弟弟说：“吃饱饭以后放鞭炮吧，放那个窜花的。”妹妹和弟弟听了异口同声、兴高采烈地说：“好啊。好啊。”

吃饱饭以后，我就向爸爸借了个打火机，拿了个鞭炮就出去了。我一看说明：不能手持。妹妹和弟弟都犯浑了：不能手持那怎么放啊?我灵机一动：昨天晚上放了个冲天炮啊。把这个鞭炮插在那里面。

好了，准备就绪。我说：“放。

一放我们才明白：原来不是五颜六色的而是一个颜色的，不过也挺好看的。

以后我还要放鞭炮。

Will Christmas Replace the Spring Festival？

Christmas arouses increasing attention year by year in China. Christmas cards become popular with students. People hold Christmas parties and exchange Christmas girts. A lot or TV and radio programs about Christmas are on. Meanwhile the Spring Festival is less appealing （有吸引力的）to youngsters. Thus some people wonder whether Christmas will replace the Spring Festival.

This worry is fairly unnecessary. Why ？ One reason lies that Christmas only affects Christians，college students and joint-venture （合资企业）workers. Another reason is that Christmas is mostly celebrated in cities. Few people in countryside show extreme interest in this exotic（带有异国情调的） festival. By contrast，the Spring Festival is the most influential traditional festival in every family.

I think，it is natural that with increasing exchanges with the West，a lot of Western holidays have been gradually introduced into China. For us Chinese we should never neglect or even discard our own traditional festivals. For centuries Chinese have observed this traditional holiday to welcome the beginning of a new year. And we will treasure the Spring Festival forever.

我爱春节。

Chinese festivals are rich and colorful, there are Qingming Festival, Mid Autumn Festival and so on. In this, I like the Spring Festival most, do you know the origin of the Spring Festival?

Let me tell you about the origin of the Spring Festival.

Long long ago, there is an animal called the "year", every the 30th day of the twelfth month of the Chinese lunar calendar, it will come out of the deadly, terrible. One year, a white - haired grandfather came to the village, and he said, "I can drive away that holy thing." But the villagers did not believe what he said. On this day, as usual, the villagers ran into the mountains to hide the "year" beasts, and the old man insisted on staying. The old man put firecrackers in the backyard in the night, "year" beast to the general turmoil was terrible! When the grandfather of the house all the candles lit, "year" was stopped, and then, grandpa took out firecrackers "Pa, PA, Pa", "year" fright, Grandpa laughed in red, "" that is a fire in the laugh, scared Tirzah legs ran, the old grandpa is a fairy, he left the magic three "years" to the villagers. From then on, we will put up red couplets, firecrackers and dumplings every time in the new year.

If you ask me why I like the Spring Festival, I will tell you, because the Spring Festival is very busy, there are a lot of lanterns, it is good for the new year.

In south China, the favorite and most typical dishes were nian gao, sweet  steamed glutinous rice(糯米)pudding and zong zi (glutinous rice wrapped up in  reed(芦苇)leaves), another popular delicacy.

In the north, steamed-wheat bread (man tou) and small meat dumplings were the  preferred food. The tremendous amount of food prepared at this time was meant to  symbolize abundance and wealth for the household.
