九上英语春节作文精彩20篇

In my memory, a lot of things happened in the Spring Festival last year, but the happiest thing for me was to put up fireworks and watch the Spring Festival Gala.

On the thirty night of the year, after our family had finished the dinner, I could not wait to wait in front of the TV set, waiting for the start of the Spring Festival Gala. Eight oclock arrived at the end of the party. I cant keep my eyes on the TV, and I dont want to leave half a step, and Im afraid to miss a good program. The program of the Spring Festival Gala is quite a lot: there are cross talk, there is a little piece, and the singing and dancing acrobatics show, the most magical thing is magic and face change. Show than a fun, than a wonderful, we can sometimes be absorbed in one family, sometimes uproarious.

This night, I was so excited that I didnt sleep well overnight. How I wish the Spring Festival of 20XX came quickly, so that I could look at the Spring Festival Gala and fireworks as happy as last year.

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.

The Spring Festival is an ancient holiday in China, is also one of the most important festival in a year. In the development of Chinese one thousand years of history, there were some relatively fixed customs handed down. For example, sweeping dust, paste couplets, stick grilles, (" f "word, draw pictures and shou sui, etc.

"Lunar 24, dusted off sweep the house", the "spring and autumn annals" recorded in ancient books, in our country, in the era of rao have customs to sweep the dust during the Spring Festival, in addition, sweep the dust and except Chen Bu "new" means.

Also called Spring Festival couplets couplet, peach wood charms against evil, it with dual, delicate words express the desire of the beautiful, is our Chinas unique literary form. The Spring Festival to stick couplets on the Spring Festival this custom originated in the song dynasty, this part is divided into Spring Festival couplets, bottom allied and horizontal batch.

"F" word, refers to the blessing, good fortune, the Spring Festival is stuck "f" word to express a blessing of relatives and friends. But in order to more fully reflect the blessing, people simply put the "fu" character topsy-turvy stick, said "f" fall ".

Now, put the Spring Festival pictures in urban and rural areas is very common, black heavy variety of pictures for every family to a prosperous and happy festive scene. Collection in our country the earliest newyearpicture is the southern song dynasty of the sui dynasty and graceful in tilting the ground of woodcut New Year pictures, pictures is her temple, zhao swallow, class and green beads four ancient beauties.

Here Ill send you a pair of couplets: "fireworks shine the sky, colorful celebrate New Years eve, Jin Longteng earth, thronged celebrate auspicious year"!

春节是我国一个古老的节日，也是一年中最重要的一个节日。在中国千百年的历史发展中，还有一些较为固定的风俗习惯相传至今。比如，扫尘、贴春联、贴窗花、倒贴“福”字、画年画和守岁等等。

“腊月二十四，掸尘扫房子”，在古书《吕氏春秋》中记载，我国在尧舜时代就有春节扫尘的风俗习惯了，此外，扫尘还有“除陈布新”的含义。

春联也叫对联、桃符，它以对偶、精巧的文字抒发美好的愿望，是我们中国独特的文学形式。春节贴春联这一习俗起源于宋代，春联分为上联、下联和横批。

“福”字，指的是福气、福运，春节贴“福”字是为了表达对亲朋好友的一种祝福。可是为了更充分地体现这种祝福，人们干脆把“福”字倒过来贴，表示“福‘倒’了”。

现在春节挂贴年画在城乡已很是普遍，浓黑重彩的年画给家家户户带去了兴旺和欢乐的喜庆场面。我国收藏最早的年画是南宋《隋朝窈窕呈倾国之芳容》的木刻年画，画的是王昭君、赵飞燕、班姬和绿珠四位古代美人。

在此我再送大家一副对联：“焰火耀长空，色彩斑斓欢度除夕度，金龙腾大地，人声鼎沸喜迎吉祥年”!

Now I hope most, is the Spring Festival.

Up early in the morning, I want to be comfortable to wear new clothes to worship ceremony, the elders outside with dad to say hello, and then for a bit of apple, candy, chocolate, pear... Before the Spring Festival I harvest, I for all is not enough. So the Spring Festival, I want to take a lot of delicious, if you eat not to drop, stored, eat later.

At noon, and dad threw bamboo together, a lot of people have a doubt, this is which ethnic customs, let me tell you! This is just our family the only one with this custom. Rule is: see who throw far, good time, it is a team to play, two people to play it. A person with a bamboo pole to throw, the other one with a large number of baskets, bamboo. But this depends on the cooperation between two people, the tacit understanding, to victory and success. Dad and I old team-mates, however, as long as the two of us together, will not win.

In the afternoon, I and my sister, my sister to play together, two people forward, the rule is: a persons right foot tied with another persons left foot, and then rushed forward, I with my elder sister is old teammate, every time we play, will press 1, 2, 1, 2, the rhythm of the walk.

Our family together, ate rich dinner, while watching TV in the wonderful program, a meal, will go to the village a small shop there see reality show...

This is I look forward to the Spring Festival, happy New Year.

现在我最期盼的，就是春节了。

一大早起来，我要穿着舒服的新衣服给长辈拜礼，在跟着爸爸去外面问好，再捞点苹果、糖果、巧克力、梨子......以往的春节我收获的东西，还不够我塞牙缝。所以这个春节，我要拿很多的好吃的，要是吃不掉，就储藏起来，以后吃。

中午，和爸爸一起扔竹竿，很多人就有疑问了，这是哪个民族的习俗，让我告诉你吧!这只是我们家唯一一个有这个习俗。规则是：看谁投得远，投得准，这要由两个人组成一组玩，才能玩。一个人拿着竹竿扔，另一个人拿着一个超大号的篮子，接竹竿。这可是要看两人之间的配合、默契，才能胜利、成功。我和爸爸可是老队友，只要我们俩在一起，不会不赢的。

下午，我就和我的妹妹，我的姐姐一起玩，两人向前冲，规则是：一个人的右脚和另外一个人的左脚绑起来，然后向前冲，我跟我姐姐也是老队友了，每次我们上场，就会按1、2 1、2的节奏走起来。

晚上，我们一家子人要一起放烟花。爸爸把一个很大的爆竹一点燃，烟花就拉着一条长长的、五颜六色的尾巴，直冲云霄，绽放出了美丽的舞裙。我们几个小孩子拿着小烟花围着门前的空地转来转去，小烟花就像仙女的仙棒，显现出了漂亮的仙气。我们一家围在一起，边吃丰富的晚餐，边看电视里精彩的节目，一吃完饭，就去村口一个小卖部那里看真人表演.....

这是我期盼的春节，快乐的春节。

The Spring Festival, is one of the most lively year in our country, is also one of the most important festival. Pair of early, the street "exhibition", "fu" character, paper-cut, candy and other necessities brought me a little bit "hit".

From the twelfth people officer "eat sesame seed candy, we began to prepare for the holiday. One day, the family sat together and our children admire always wanted to taste sweet and crisp of the sesame seed candy. But total want to wait for grandma go to the kitchen god worship a turn, to eat yo. It is said that in this way can the kitchen god god say good thing.

December 24, families and house. Mother to clean up the house early dry static, this is for the New Year has a new look. After twenty-four people busy to kill the fish, gizzard meat, steamed buns, for necessities.

Whenever the twenty-nine, families have to go shopping to buy Spring Festival couplets, have turned themselves shop flick spring paper splash-ink, will decorate a new house in the portal. Also treats the Spring Festival couplets, couplet, subsidiary, etc. It neatly, dual, concise and delicate words to describe time background, express good wishes, is a unique literature form in China. Spring Festival couplets real popularity began in the Ming dynasty, is associated with the advocating of zhu yuanzhang. Zhu yuanzhang one year to prepare for the holiday, ordered to stick a spring couplets, every door. The original Spring Festival couplet inscribed in the peach wood, then rewrite on the paper. Peach color is red, red is lucky, ward off evil spirits, so most Spring Festival couplets written on red paper.

In the year, to break out of firecrackers decorated festive atmosphere more strong. After lunch, set out a delicious meat, the family was package dumplings, gay men rolling skin, kids when transport, mothers are responsible for making dumplings. Grandma put COINS into the dumplings, to see who is the most blessing. When plates of belly belly of dumplings at the table, you find your satisfied dumplings, mouth bite, hope I can walk good luck. Finally, the dumplings with blessing or eaten by dad.

New Years eve, every household to eat dumplings, we eat dinner early and watch the Spring Festival gala, in front of the TV is "shou sui".

The first to people these days, is our children the best time to "money". Every day is not stay at home, grandpa is in grandmother home, in the words of my mother, is "not home all day," but we still go and jolly.

February, we this New Year to the "dragon head" ended. Although puyang is not big, but it also like many big cities, busy celebrating the Spring Festival, allison stayed put it off again.

春节，是我国一年当中最热闹，也是最重要的一个节日。早早的，街上“展览”的对子、“福”字、窗花、糖果等年货给我带来了一丝丝“年味”。

从腊月二十三“祭灶官”吃芝麻糖开始，大家就开始准备过年了。这天，一家人围坐在一起，我们小孩馋的总想先尝尝又酥又甜的芝麻糖。可是总要等到奶奶先到厨房的灶王爷前祭祀一翻，才能吃到哟。据说，这样灶王爷才能上天言好事。

腊月二十四，家家户户扫房子。妈妈要早早的把屋子收拾干静，这是为了新年有一个新气象。过了二十四大人们忙着杀鱼、肫肉、蒸花馍，准备年货。

每当二十九，家家户户都纷纷上街购买春联，有雅兴者自己也铺纸泼墨挥春，将宅子里里外外的门户装点一新。春联也叫门对、对联、对子等。它以工整、对偶、简洁、精巧的文字描绘时代背景，抒发美好愿望，是中国特有的文学形式。春联真正普及始于明代，与朱元璋的提倡有关。有一年朱元璋准备过年时，下令每家门上都要贴一副春联，以示庆贺。原来春联题写在桃木板上，后来改写在纸上。桃木的颜色是红的，红色有吉祥，避邪的意思，因此春联大都用红纸书写。

到了大年三十，此起彼伏的鞭炮声把节日的气氛装点的更加浓厚。吃过午饭后，端出香喷喷的肉馅，一家人就包起了饺子，男同志擀皮、小孩们当运输员，妈妈们就负责制作精美的水饺。奶奶还要在饺子里放进硬币，看谁最有福气。当一盘盘挺着肚子的水饺端上桌时，大家找到自己满意的饺子，张口就咬，希望自己能走好运。最后，那个带有福气的饺子还是被爸爸吃掉了。

除夕，家家户户吃的都是饺子，我们早早的吃晚饭，守在电视前看春晚，也是“守岁”。

初一到初六这几天，就是我们小孩子“挣钱”的最好时机。天天不是呆在爷爷家，就是泡在姥姥家，用妈妈的话说，就是“整天不着家”，但我们仍然乐呵呵的东跑西窜。

我们这的春节一般到“二月二，龙抬头”的时候才告一段落。虽然濮阳不算大城市，但是它也与许多大城市一样，热热闹闹的迎来春节，又热热闹闹的把它送走。

To tell you the truth，I don t like the Spring Festival at all.

When I was young I liked it very much，because I could had something tasty to eat during the Spring Festival，and I could enjoy very wonderful TV programmes，too，I also could had much free time during which I could did something I liked to do.

I don t like it now， there are many reasons.

Firstly，I can t have a good time during the Festival.

Every New Year s Eve something unpleasant often happens.

Once I quarreled with my second brother.

Secondly，I can t relax myself during the Festival.

I have to do many things，watch so many TV programmes， meet so many people，all these things make me very tired.

Thirdly，spending one Spring Festival means that I become one year older，I don t like to be old.

I want to live longer and be young all the time.

The day after tomorrow is the Spring Festival, due to special reasons, so early to eat dinner. Went back to my home, see three uncles and three aunt in the door, and a lock by an iron chain dog, called Daniel, it saw me would shake up the tail, standing on two feet, then put two small steak in my hand and play with me.

Time to eat dinner, think of my mother used to say to me: when you eat to concentrate on eating, looked at the bowl, saying the words, not to say not. Or a chopstick in the brush to my head, so I eat dinner did not dare to talk nonsense, afraid to say the wrong thing. "Today I go to eat dinner, three uncles and three aunts to toast." My mother whispered to me, Carter, I picked up my cup to drink Sprite, poured a generous measure after I first and I sat around two and then to three aunt, aunt and aunt, just three aunt aunt Jing, and shouted: "you how do you tell me why the toast toast? According to the order you understand?" of course understand, who told you to sit farther than me, in order to prove that I understand, I first respect the great uncle, "uncle, I wish you good health, good luck in everything." "Oh, good, I wish you learning progress, the longer and fatter, see you thin and skeleton like."

Then the two uncle, the three uncle and the grandfather were toasted in order. My grandfathers wine has not finished, the aunt began to shout, "you are wrong again, should first give grandpa toast, do not know?"

Behind my grandfathers house is a academy built by three uncles, called Yun Shen Academy. Deep in the cloud academy gate is three uncles son sun Shilin written in traditional characters from the clouds on the antithetical couplet, fly, even to the Yangtze River. The second line is far deeper, the earth since the song in the future. "You go and sweep the street of the Academy, and when the guests come, Ill buy some things." The three uncle said to me and sun Shi Lins brother in poor standard Mandarin. Dont know where the kids when we try to sweep, we should not make trouble, mother put him away, that we have to re scan.

After that evening, I and sun Shi Lin took the fireworks to the Academy. They put the racing fireworks first, and when I heard the name, I wanted to put it. I lit the lead wire, but I saw it smoke strong smoke and then rushed to the wall. Then grandpa brought a box of good day card chongtianbao, seems to be inferior products, black fireworks, a banger a squib,

A banger a squib...... Finally put the small rockets, color chrysanthemum, Sirius UFO, bee fireworks etc..

The first bell ringing is the symbol of Chinese New Year. Chinese people like to go to a large squares where there are huge bells are set up approachcelebrate together.

The people believe that the ringing of huge bell can some people have begun going to mountain temples to wait for the first ringing. Hanshan Temple in Suzhou, is very famous temple for its first ringing of the bell to heraldto Hanshan Temple to celebrate Chinese New Year.

第一次钟声是春节的象征。中国人喜欢到一个大广场，那里有为除夕设置的大钟。随着春节的临近，他们开始倒计数并一起庆祝。

人们相信了大钟的撞响可以驱除霉运，带来好运。近年来，有些人开始去山上寺庙等待第一次钟声。苏州的寒山寺就非常著名，它的钟声宣布春节的到来。现在有许多外国人也去寒山寺庆祝春节。

Spring festival is on the first day of the first lunar month.Chinese people most like the Spring Festival.During Spring Festival,Chinese people like having meals with their families,playing fireworks in the open air.My sisters and I played fireworks on that day.We had many fireworks.

They were very beautiful.They were running into the sky and breaking into pieces.They looked like flowers in the sky.We were very happy and excited.After that,I made a wish.I hope that,we can have a happy and healthy life next year and everyone in my family can be happy.

I enjoy the festival very happy.

Food between China and Western countries are totally different styles. China has 5000 years history. We probably spend half of time on food. Chinese people choice food very carefully. They only use fresh material to make food. For example they only eat fresh fish.

Chinese have a lot of ideas and techniques for cooking. We can cook a chicken in over ten ways. That’s why Chinese food is so popular in the world. Western country like English or American, they don’t have fresh food because they buy their food from supermarket which only sells stored materials. Western people would also prefer fast food like burgers and chips.

They are unhealthy to human body. Western people do not have many skills for cooking, mostly they only boil, steam and bake the food. By the way, western people are very good at making desert and chocolate. They can make very good cake and chocolate. They are very sweet but it’s sort of food which make you become fat quickly.

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。

The Spring Festival in China celebrates the end of winter and the warmth of spring. From the last day of the lunar year, it ends on the fifteenth day of the lunar calendar.

中国的春节庆祝冬天的结束和春天的温暖。从农历年的最后一天开始，到了农历的第十五天结束，也是元宵节。

During the Spring Festival, people use red lantern and Spring Festival couplets decorate a house, put on all kinds of colored clothes, often visit friends and relatives or together eat dumplings, fish, meat and other delicious food. The children are looking forward to receiving red envelope money, and together they play each other the fireworks, with happy.

春节期间，人们用红灯笼和春联装饰房子，穿上各种颜色的衣服，经常拜访亲朋好友，或者一起吃饺子、鱼、肉和其他美味的食物。孩子们盼望着收到红包，他们一起玩烟花，开心地玩着。

During the Spring Festival, there are carnival activities such as dragon and lion dancing in the street. CCTV will hold a grand Spring Festival gala.

春节期间，街上有舞龙舞狮等狂欢活动，中央电视台将举行盛大的春节联欢晚会。

The Lunar New Year is now popularly known as the Spring Festival because it starts from the Begining of Spring . Its origin is too old to be traced. Several explanations are hanging around. All agree, however, that the word Nian, which in modern Chinese solely means year , was originally the name of a monster beast that started to prey on people the night before the beginning of a new year.

One legend goes that the beast Nian had a very big mouth that would swallow a great many people with one bite. People were very scared. One day, an old man came to their rescue, offering to subdue Nian. To Nian he said, I hear say that you are very capable, but can you swallow the other beasts of prey on earth instead of people who are by no means of your worthy opponents? So, it did swallow many of the beasts of prey on earth that also harassed people and their domestic animals from time to time.

After that, the old man disappeared riding the beast Nian. He turned out to be an immortal god. Now that Nian is gone and other beasts of prey are also scared into forests, people begin to enjoy their peaceful life. Before the old man left, he had told people to put up red paper decorations on their windows and doors at each year s end to scare away Nian in case it sneaked back again, because red is the color the beast feared the most.

From then on, the tradition of observing the conquest of Nian is carried on from generation to generation. The term Guo Nian , which may mean Survive the Nian becomes today Celebrate the Year as the word guo in Chinese having both the meaning of pass-over and observe . The custom of putting up red paper and firing fire-crackers to scare away Nian should it have a chance to run loose is still around. However, people today have long forgotten why they are doing all this, except that they feel the color and the sound add to the excitement of the celebratio

I like spring festival best ， because my family give me lucky money，our family will have a big dinner together，I can play with mybrothers and sisters then we are visit my uncles family。

我最喜欢春节了，因为我的家人给我红包我们都在一起吃饭，我可以和我的兄弟姐妹玩 ，然后我们去看望了舅舅一家

A new year ，a new start，when I stand on the edge of the  a new year，I cant help thinking about my plan of next year.

Just as the old saying：“Well began is the half of the success.”So I decide that I should be at work while the others are still relaxing ，and then ，at the beginning ，Im quicker than the others and of course I will get better result than the others.

But ，what I really decide to do is that I must make good of anytime I can spare though it seems impossible. While，I will do my best to live up  the with what I have planned，and the result will prove it.
