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

Everybody has his or her interest， and interests differ widely from person

to person because of age， sex health and education. To some extent， interest

also reflects ones ability or wish. Interest plays an important part in our

daily life. As a middle school student interest is of great importance in study.

If you want to learn something well， you have to show interest in it， which is

quite possible. Once you have found your way into the subject， you may have also

three boys no water to drink." See the three boys cry sigh, I couldnt help

laughing. This story also tells us a truth, do look beyond their own private

interests, pushed around the result is nothing. So, whatever we do, we are of

others, to put a little generous.

Across the small stone bridge, I see a beautiful peacock in corner, saw it

slowly unfold its beautiful feathers, a lot of tourists can not help a deep sigh

of "wow" and "wow". To the other side of the river is two dragon boat, with a

"leap" in the middle, two fish kept jumping before, and if really jumps the

新年的喜气还没过去，元宵节就到了。我怀着激动的心情，盼望着天快黑下来。晚上，早早地吃过晚饭，爸爸就陪我去看花灯。

一进大门，我就被眼前的一个大红灯笼给吸引住了。灯笼上有古代的四大美女：杨贵妃、王昭君、貂婵和西施，她们那动人的姿态使每位观赏的人啧啧赞好。继续向前，我便想起一首儿歌：“一个和尚挑水喝，两个和尚抬水喝，三个和尚没水喝。”看到那三个和尚哀声叹气的神情，我禁不住哈哈大笑。这个故事也告诉我们一个道理，做什么事光顾着自己的私人利益，推来推去结果只能是一无所获。所以说，我们无论做什么事都要为别人着想，放得大度一点儿。

我跨过小石桥，在转弯处看到一只美丽的孔雀，只见它慢慢地展开它美丽的羽毛，很多游人禁不住发出“哇”、“哇”的感叹声。河的对面是两只龙舟，中间夹着一处“鱼跃龙门”，两只鱼儿不停地跳跃前，好像真的跃过了龙门。再向前方走，那场面简直太壮观了。只见九条形状颜色各异的龙翻腾着向天空飞去，这象征着腾飞的中国。我们的国家将一天天地繁荣昌盛起来!

看过花灯，我们回家了。路上，我一边走一边想：明年的花灯一定比今年更美!

Everyone has a family. We live in it and feel very warm. There are three persons in my family, my mother, father and I. We live together very happily and there are many interesting stories about my family.

My father is a hard-working man. He works as a doctor. He always tries his best to help every, patient and make patients comfortable. But sonetimes he works so hard that he can’t remember the date.

My mother is a woman with a bad memory. She always does a lot of housework, but sometimes she makes mistakes out of carelessness. For example, one day, she washed clothes in the washer, after the washer finished the work, she found she hadn’t filled the washer with water.

Now let me tell you a funny thing: one day, father wanted to get up early as usual, buthe wasn’t able to do that, because he hadn’t set the alarm clock the night before, so when he got up, he did everything in a hurry. After father left, mother said to me mysteriously, "He will come back soon." "Why?" I was greatly surprised. "Because today is Sunday, his holiday!" Just as mother said, father came back home soon, and went to bed again--he was too tired.

You see, what an interesting family have! I hope that you will have one like mine, too.

元宵上市，春节的又一个高潮到了。正月十五到处张灯结彩，整条大街像是办喜事，红火而热闹，热闹而美丽。有名的铺子都挂出几百盏形状各异、大大小小的灯来。有走马灯、圆角灯、莲花灯、大红灯笼……就在那天里，我和爸爸妈妈去逛了灯会。

一进街道，就看见了拥挤的人海;闻到了美味佳肴的香味;听见了喧闹的嘈杂声。我们在人群中慢慢地“蠕动”着，美国一会，一只只外形美观，制造精细的灯笼出现在我的眼前。我和爸爸妈妈走进前去，各色各样的花灯上都彩绘着《水浒传》、《红楼梦》、《三国演义》、《西游记》的所有故事。而令我印象最深的是—走马灯。

一只只马形灯放在一起似乎是万马奔腾十分壮观。走马灯是用印红的纸折出来的。马的前蹄上扬，马头向上，马尾垂下，像是真的一样。栩栩如生，形态逼真，让人看了赞叹不已。灯上映着两位豪爽之雄，两人坐在酒家中盘着腿，双手举着酒杯痛饮。

接着，我便看到了我最爱的环节—猜灯谜。我打开纸袋拿出了灯谜的题目：加水变成汪洋大海，加木变成草木花香。我摸着下巴，皱着眉头，心里念叨着“加水变成汪洋大海，加木变成草木花香是什么呢?”难道是“对”?不是呀!加三点水就不是字了呀!我思索片刻。突然灵光一闪，脑海中出现了一个“每”字，哦对了。“每”加上三点水就是“海”，加上“木”就是“梅”啊!我怎么没想到呢!我大声地报出答案。这题真是出神入化，暗藏玄机啊!

在这些节日中，我最喜欢的节日是元宵节，因为这个节日有一只只惟妙惟肖的灯笼和耐人思考的灯谜。

《简爱》这本书是我很久以前看的了。最近又看了一遍，要说这本书里面让我感触最深的莫过于简·爱小时候的可怜遭遇，她少年时的坚韧。

我在看见她舅母对待她时恶毒的言语以及她舅母三个儿女的行为，看到简被他们几人欺负，我的眼睛不由得一酸，心也有些疼痛。之后又再次扪心自问：“如果我是简我能坚持么?我能像简那样长大后你不去愤世嫉俗么?”我相信我不会。因为从小我的环境太好了。从小便是在爸爸妈妈爷爷奶奶的宝贝下长大。从没有受过苦，受过累。之后，在一位善意的女仆的帮助下，她去了那所学校。在那所条件艰苦的学校里，简刻苦的学习，她也学得很快。没有抱怨过，只有感觉有些许的宽慰，不知是不是因为在她舅母家的痛苦日子让她感觉现在的生活反而很好。

我两次看到简在学校的日子，总是会放下书静静地想着：简她真的好厉害!在经历了那么不公平的生活后，在那么艰苦的环境下，她仍能保持着心态。就好像之前一切的不幸都是上天对她的考验，考过之后，她从中成长，她的心灵越发的美丽，而不是变的扭曲。这也许就是简的坚强体现吧~若她脆弱那么她就会变成不思进取，厌世的人。

再到之后她的默默离去。她毅然离开了爱德华·罗杰斯特。但是简却在爱德华最窘迫的时候回到他的身边，照顾她，陪伴他。这里，简对爱德华的爱让我感动。

Every family has its own start-up and family precepts.

每个家庭都有自己的家风和家训。家风对每个人都有着潜移默化而重要的影响，它就像春风风人夏雨雨人一般滋润，影响着人们。没有家就没有这个社会，家风对整个社会的影响都是巨大的，无数好的家风必然可以引起好的社会风气。

如果一个人，他家中有好的家风，那么他定可以少走弯路;而如果他的家风败坏，那么就少不得走弯弯道了。

我们家的家风便是“诚信”二字。诚就是要堂堂正正，清清白白地诚实做人，自己做的事情就要勇于承担，不能向别人身上推卸责任。而信就是要守信，说出去的话就如同泼出去的水，不能收回来，说过的话自己要做到。除了家风，还有另一个引导着人们的——家训。与家风相对，我们家的家训也是“诚信做人，踏实做事”。做事要踏踏实实，按部就班的做。就像路要一步一步的走，饭要一口一口的吃。如果做事情光想着一步登天，那么干出的事也不会有太大的成就。相反，如果一个人能够脚踏实地的专心做眼前的每件事情，不好高骛远，必然能够有所成就。

总之，家庭是社会的重要组成部分，每个成功的人必定有好的家风和家训。而良好的家风家训需要每个家庭成员来共筑，只有严格筑好家风家训，我们才能少走弯路。

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.

Many people believe that having a lot of money is the greatest happiness in

life. But I dont agree with them, because money is not everything. Money cant

make us a true man.

The way I see it, good health is much better than a lot of wealth. No

matter how much money we have, we’ll not feel happy at all if we are in poor

health. In order to be healthy, we must keep a positive attitude and have a good

living habit.

Apart from good health, we must be diligent at work. As long as we work

hard, we cannot just make a good living, but enrich our minds.

Additionally, we ought to give our helpful hands to others when they are in

need. While helping others, we can own a good fame as well as get more social

experience. Its really a good way to kill two birds with one stone. Only by

doing so can we enjoy the happiest life.

The evening of the Lantern Festival, our family package tangyuan. I am very happy, let my mother taught me about package dumplings, she agreed. I looked at the mother Shang Yuanfen with warm water and good, and then a ball of good Shang Yuanfen presses pianpian circle, put some black sesame paste in the middle, and finally to encase it, on the hand rolling in my heart, a round dumplings wrapped, mother put it gently on the shaman Shang Yuanfen a big plate.

After I see you didnt care, said: "so simple ah, I will!" According to the way of my mother, I will first dumpling skin to knead into thin a thin, put sesame stuffing dumpling skin, package when I held a pinch, filling the whole out. I have a look frustrated, he decided to quit. Mother: "a good package, package a again, nothing is too difficult, if you put your heart into it!" Mother told me not to put too much stuffing, hand dont hold too tight. So, I according to my mother taught me the method of package again, one after another, filling has been seldom to go out. Then I found a problem, always some places when knead skin is a little dry, I picked up speed, and to let it keep some water as much as possible. After carefully study, I finally package out of the qualified tangyuan.

At night to eat their package dumplings, watching fireworks outside the window, Im flattered. Because of the sweet dumplings have I a contribution!

元宵节晚上，我们家要包汤圆。我很高兴，就让妈妈教我包汤圆，妈妈同意了。我看着妈妈把汤圆粉用温水和好，然后将一团和好的汤圆粉压成扁扁的圆形，将一些黑芝麻馅放在中间，最后将它包住，放在手心里滚来滚去，一个圆圆的汤圆就包好了，妈妈把它轻轻地放在撒满汤圆粉的一个大盘子里。

我看完后满不在乎，说：“这么简单呀，我一看就会!”我照着妈妈的办法，先将汤圆皮捏成薄薄的一个片，将芝麻馅放在汤圆皮上，包的时候我用力一捏，馅全出来了。我一看泄了气，决定不干了。妈妈：“一个没包好，再包一个，世上无难事，只怕有心人嘛!”妈妈让我不要放太多的馅，手不要捏的太紧。于是，我按照妈妈教我的方法又包了起来，一个又一个，馅已经很少往外跑了。紧接着我又发现一个问题，在捏皮时总是有些地方有点干，我加快了速度，尽量让它多保留一些水分。经过精心地学习，我终于包出了合格的汤圆。

晚上吃着自己包的汤圆，看着窗外绚丽的烟花，我心里美滋滋的。因为这甜美的汤圆也有我的一份功劳呀!

what s your plan for dragon boat festival?

As a chinese, I was really ashamed of having a little knowledge of dragon boat festival. Perhaps I was born in northern city, though my city is nearby sea, it has been built a U port which I can only see cargo ships and can t see the sweeping ocean. So I have never see the dragon boat contest since I was born. So the dragon boat festival is just a holiday for eating Zong Zi . My mother made Zong Zi when I was a child. Because there was no supermarket, we couldn t buy finished product from market. However, now, we can buy anything in supermarket, so my mother didn t make them anymore. The boat festival began to fade out my mind.

In reality, young people began to have a bug to celebrate foreign festivals, such as Christams, Saint Valentine s day, April Fool s Day, some people also celebrate Easter in church. Talk about Dragon boat festival, it s the same as some foreign conventional festivals, such as Witch s Day in Czech. People burned the witch s puppet so as to welcome spring. Some people are willing to celebrate foreign festivals because they like alien culture. And vice versa, foreigners who like China also concern about Chinese traditional culture.

After new holiday regulation, we have three holidays during the dragon boat festival. So many people will choose this time to travel. People who lived in Xiamen are able to visit Xiapu or Wu Yi mountain, these tourist attractions are in Fujian province,which is suit a short tirp. but I d like to stay at home for my decorate painting. I decide to draw two canvases about Christmas, it s really a big project. Then I ll hang them on the new house wall. I must start it now, or I can t finish them before Christmas eve. But I preceive it s a little difficult to draw them in such a hot season.
