没到过春节的时候，也正是主妇们在厨房里最忙碌的时候，年菜都在前几天作好了，而年夜饭总要在大年三十做出来，而且大年初一的饺子也要在大年三十晚上包出来。这时家家的砧板都在噔噔噔的忙着剁肉，切菜。此时，砧板声，爆竹声，在夹杂着人们的说笑声，此起彼伏，洋洋盈耳，交织成除夕欢快的乐章。吃年夜饭是春节家家户户最愉快热闹的时候，丰盛的年夜饭摆满一桌，合家团聚，围坐桌旁，共吃团圆饭，心头的充实难以言喻。人们既是享受满桌的佳肴盛宴，也是享受那份欢乐的气氛。

American culture, in a sense, is an extension of European culture, because the language of the Americans, demographic composition and her spirit of the foundation are from Europe. On the other hand, American culture with Europe, because European immigrants in the North American continent to drive away after taking the Indians, in a barren wilderness land to create a stunning is the splendid civilization. Therefore, in the United States talk about cultural practices and social propriety, it is necessary to take account of the same culture of Europe and the United States, but also pay attention to both of the opposite sex. Cultural practices is a wide scope and complexity of the topic, people involved in social life and relations In all aspects.

Of tolerance.

The United States is a country of immigrants, the ancestors from around the world. People emigrated to the United States, not only in the location to move on, but also in their country and customs of the council to a new place of residence. As miscellaneous, people their differences very obvious because the differences are very common, people do not particularly pay attention to unity. In time, the cultural practices of the Americans formed a higher level of tolerance (tolerance), the different cultures and different appraisals on tolerance, an acceptable attitude. At this point, the U.S. society feasible than the custom of other countries in the world more broadly.

From a political perspective, this tolerance of performance in the pursuit of freedom and the right to freedom of maintenance. From the religious that it reflected in the harmonious coexistence of different faiths. From the viewpoint of life, and it appeared in different communities, different ethnic communities live in peace. In a nutshell, in the United States, each person can basically arbitrary choice of different ideas, beliefs, traditions and customs and way of life; people can also keep a considerable extent, their customs and instrument. For example, Jews can celebrate their religious festivals, and Christians are to their Christmas and Easter. For example, again, the United States by Chinese in Chinatown Chinese live and work; the same token, the Vietnamese immigrants in their "little Saigon" according to Vietnams way of doing business and engaged in various activities.

Americans of tolerance, in addition to the above United States is a country that factors other than immigration, and the frequent movement of the Americans. As everyone knows, the history of the United States in the development of an important part of her history of the development of the western region. At that time, the United States Blazers or hiking, horseback or car, from east to west, from north to south, wherever there are opportunities, there Jiuwang resettlement. The frequent migration and continuous replacement of the Habitat so that people will always be in the "mobile", and the occasional different facing the phenomenon of tolerance and more easily accepted. Moreover, the current migration also can help people expand the field of vision, known more widely know, the different practices with sympathy, understanding, and gradually formed diversity rather than uniformity of the openness of the concept.

As the Americans tolerant of stronger, so very few Americans to impose its will on other people, with China Confucius "by the others do not want to, not to impose on" the very Guxun like. For example, a husband may be a Republican, but he must not support the Democratic Party forced his wife to change political stance. Similarly, perhaps the mother is a Catholic, but she must not have forced her into a Muslim convert son to change religion. In their daily lives and habits of business in normal times, this spirit of tolerance is a common occurrence, commonplace.

春节都过去半个月了，可是我还是无法忘记!

我和爸爸、妈妈、舅舅、舅妈、爷爷、奶奶一起在家里包了好吃的饺子，然后大家聚在一起吃了一顿丰盛的年夜饭!我还给他们磕头拜年，获得了许多的压岁钱，我高兴极了!我穿上了妈妈给我买的新衣服，和妈妈一起高高兴兴地贴春联。晚上，我看了联欢晚会，有唱歌的、有跳舞的、还有变魔术的，看得我目瞪口呆，真精彩呵!

不知不觉，就到了下楼放炮的时间了。我买了很多的炮，有冲天炮，有彩珠筒，还有震天雷，各种各样，五颜六色。我放了这个，又放那个，忙得不亦乐呼，只听见整个小区里震耳欲聋，几乎每家每户都在放炮!

大年初一早上，我们一家出去玩。只见街上到处都挂着红灯笼和彩旗，真是张灯结彩，热闹非凡!每一个路过的人脸上都喜气洋洋!

商场里面更是人山人海，走都走不动，尤其是卖糖果的地方，让我看得眼花缭乱，口水都要流出来了!

这个春节真快乐呀!

我国的传统文化有很多，比如有春节、端午节、中秋节等许多节日。当然，我最喜欢的还是春节了。

春节也叫过年，它的来历是在太古时期，有一种凶猛的怪兽，散居在深山密林中，人们管它们叫“年”。它的形貌狰狞，生性凶残，每隔三百六十五天窜到人们居住的地方伤害人类，而且出没的时间都是在天黑以后，等到鸡鸣破晓，它们便返回山林中去了。由于“年”最怕红颜色和鞭炮声，因此每年年三十，每家每户都在门上贴上红纸，在院里放鞭炮，防止“年”溜到人们居住的地方伤害人类。

春节到了，年三十晚上，我和爸爸、妈妈、哥哥、姑姑一起在爷爷家吃团圆饭，饭后我们拿了许多烟花和鞭炮去放，有窜天鼠、鱼雷、二踢脚、黑旋风等。我们看到美丽的焰火从烟花里喷了出来，它们像一朵朵刚绽开的花朵，我和哥哥在一旁又蹦又跳开心极了，路边的人看见了，都停下脚步，羡慕地看着我们。

新的一年又到了，我们又长大了一岁。我应该更懂事了，让爸爸、妈妈少操点心，自己努力学习，争取一天比一天更棒！

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.

China has 56 ethnic groups. Minorities celebrate their Spring Festival almost the same day as the Han people， and they have different customs.

我国文化源远流长，其中，节日是最具有代表性的，洋溢着喜庆和吉祥的春节是众多节日中最新鲜最独特的一个节日。它还承载着中华民族上下五千年的古老文化。

春节也叫做“年”，有关年的由来，民间流传着这样一个传说：古时，有个叫“年”的怪物，经常骚乱百姓，杀人放火，无恶不作。最终，有人发现“年”怕响声、红色、火。最后“年”被杀死。于是，便在“年”被杀死的这一天举行各种各样盛大的庆祝活动，而且燃放鞭炮，张贴门神对联以驱赶邪恶，并逐渐形成一种习惯，流传下来，此后，人类便有了“过年”之说。

有关春节的传统文化也有很多。在春节这天，家家户户走门串巷，春节拜年时，长辈要将事先准备好的压岁钱给晚辈，据说压岁钱可以压住邪祟，因为“岁”与“祟”谐音，晚辈得到压岁钱就可以平平安安度过一岁。现在长辈为晚辈准备压岁钱的习俗仍然盛行，压岁钱的数量从几十到几百不等，这些压岁钱被孩子们用来购买图书和学习用品，新的时尚为压岁钱赋予了新的内容。

过春节，家家户户的门上都要贴春联，祈求这一年平平安安。春联也叫“门对”、“春联”、“对子”，它以工整、对偶、简洁、精巧文字描绘时代背景，抒发美好愿望，是我国特有的文字形式。每逢春节，无论是城市还是农村，家家户户都要精选一幅大红春联贴于门上，为节日增加喜庆气氛。

关于春节的传统文化太多了，一时间也说不完，等下次再聊吧。

春节，中国人最重要的节日。是中国最盛大、最热闹、最重要的一个古老传统节日，也是中国人所独有的节日。

节，是农历的岁首，春节的另一名称叫过年，是中国最盛大、最热闹、最重要的一个古老传统节日，也是中国人所独有的节日。是中华文明最集中的表现。自西汉以来，春节的习俗一直延续到今天。春节一般指除夕和正月初一。但在民间，传统意义上的春节是指从腊月初八的腊祭或腊月二十三或二十四的祭灶，一直到正月十五，其中以除夕和正月初一为高潮。如何过庆贺这个节日，在千百年的历史发展中，形成了一些较为固定的风俗习惯，有许多还相传至今。在春节这一传统节日期间，我国的汉族和大多数少数民族都有要举行各种庆祝活动，这些活动大多以祭祀神佛、祭奠祖先、除旧布新、迎禧接福、祈求丰年为主要内容。活动形式丰富多彩，带有浓郁的民族特色。2006年5月20日，“春节”民俗经国务院批准列入第一批国家级非物质文化遗产名录。

春节的来历有一种传说，中国古时候有一种叫“年”的怪兽，头长触角，凶猛异常。“年”长年深居海底，每到除夕才爬上岸，吞食牲畜伤害人命。因此，每到除夕这天，村村寨寨的人们扶老携幼逃往深山，以躲避“年”兽的伤害。有一年除夕，从村外来了个乞讨的老人。乡亲们一片匆忙恐慌景象，只有村东头一位老婆婆给了老人些食物，并劝他快上山躲避“年”兽，那老人捋髯笑道：“婆婆若让我在家呆一夜，我一定把‘年’兽撵走。”老婆婆仍然继续劝说，乞讨老人笑而不语。 半夜时分，“年”兽闯进村。它发现村里气氛与往年不同：村东头老婆婆家，门贴大红纸，屋内烛火通明。“年”兽浑身一抖，怪叫了一声。将近门口时，院内突然传来“砰砰啪啪”的炸响声，“年”浑身战栗，再不敢往前凑了。原来，“年”最怕红色、火光和炸响。这时，婆婆的家门大开，只见院内一位身披红袍的老人在哈哈大笑。“年”大惊失色，狼狈逃蹿了。第二天是正月初一，避难回来的人们见村里安然无恙十分惊奇。这时，老婆婆才恍然大悟，赶忙向乡亲们述说了乞讨老人的许诺。这件事很快在周围村里传开了，人们都知道了驱赶“年”兽的办法。(客家人的传说)从此每年除夕，家家贴红对联、燃放爆竹;户户烛火通明、守更待岁。初一一大早，还要走亲串友道喜问好。这风俗越传越广，成了中国民间最隆重的传统节日。

Hi! Peter,

I’m glad to know you are having a good time in Chengdu.

TheSpring Festival is the most important festival in China. It is a custom to give lucky money to children. I get lucky money every year. I will put most of it in the bank, and spend the rest on some books. This year is no exception(也不例外) and I also got lucky money.With it, I bought some school things for several poor students in Ningxia，hoping the things can bring some happiness to them.

For you, I think it’s a good idea to buy a gift with the lucky money for your hostfamily before you leave China. You can also buy some Chinese gifts for your parents and friends in England. Or, just keep it as good memories.

I hope what I said can help you.

Yours,

Li Hua

In China, the Spring festival is the first day of the lunar year.

People usually start preparing for the festival one month before it comes. They prepare delicious food, and clean and decorate their homes.

On Chinese New Year’s Eve, the family all get together for a big dinner. They stay up till midnight, and then play fireworks and crackers for good luck. On the first day of the lunar New Year, children put on their new clothes and greet their parents. They are very happy to get lucky money from them.

The passage mainly tells us the importance of protecting traditional

Chinese culture, which is challenged or facing extinction because of the

developing society and changing lifestyle. Besides, China is nationwide sparing

no efforts to do it.

The protection of national and folk culture is of great significance to

Chinese cultural diversity and also to the harmonious development between local

economic and social development. It is reported that the Guangdong government

pays special attention to protecting Chaoju(潮剧)， a local drama born in Chaozhou

in the eastern Guangdong province.

In my opinion, some measures should be taken to protect traditional culture

effectively. To start with, we should make a law to regulate the society’s

performance. Besides, we should draw more people’s attention to it, for the more

they know about the importance of culture protection, the stronger the support

we can get from the public.

In a word, it is high time for us to treasure and develop our own valuable

culture.
