春节到了，家家户户喜气洋洋，团团圆圆。春节有许多习俗，比如：贴春联，放鞭炮，吃饺子等等。让我们一起来了解了解它们吧!

贴门神这是几乎家家户户过年都要做的，关于贴门神还有一段有趣的神话传说：相传在古时候，有位龙王总想偷吃玉帝的贡品，玉帝发现后狠狠地惩罚了它，可龙王依然屡教不改，于是，玉帝让两位身强力壮的天神看守大门，不让龙王再来捣乱。可是两位天神和我们一样要睡觉休息。于是玉帝想了一个好办法，把两位天神的画像贴在门上，从此贴门神的习俗就这样代代流传。

在我国的北方有一种习俗，就是吃饺子，饺子的谐音即“交子”，表达了人们对更岁交子，对新的一年吉祥富裕的一种渴望。而南方人则喜欢在大年的早晨吃汤圆，意味着我们在新的一年里圆圆满满，团团圆圆。人们还喜欢把一种叫“荠菜”的蔬菜和汤圆一块吃，“荠菜”有被称作“聚财”意喻在新的一年招财进宝，心想事成。

春节里，我们更少不了要放鞭炮来活跃一下春节时欢欢喜喜的气氛了。放鞭炮在民间还有一个传说：相传在远古的时侯，有一只叫“年”的怪兽，每到春节的时候就出来吓唬人，于是人们就想了个办法，用竹筒点燃扔向它，竹筒爆炸后发出很大的声响，吓走了年兽，放鞭炮的习俗就这样流传下来了。

春节的习俗还有很多很多，它丰富了我们的知识，拉近了人们的距离。它是中华名族的优良传统，让我们一起去了解它们吧!

There is nothing complicated about eating a proper diet. For good health,

eat a variety of foods. Do not eat the same foods day after day! Foods should be

selected everyday from each of basic four. They are the four groups of food

essential to proper nutrition: the milk group, meat group, vegetable-fruit

group, and bread- cereal group, Your body will then be supplied with all the

nutrients it requires; they are water, minerals, carbohydrate, fats and oils,

proteins, and vitamins. A persons diet is determined by his attitudes, likes

and dislikes. If you eat foods from each of the basic four groups each day, you

will have a balanced diet.

Dear John,

How time flies! Four moths have passed since we saw each other last time. I cannot helpbut miss you. You asked me about Chinese Spring Festival. Now I would like to tell yousomething about it.

The Spring Festival is a Chinese traditional festival. It is the most important and

enjoyable one. A few days before the festival, houses are cleaned and red couplets are

put up on the doors of every household. They are said to frighten away the ghosts. On that day, people are dressed up. Firecrackers ring out in the air, which adds to the atmosphere of the festival. People after a year’s hard work begin to relax and visit one another. Presents and dinners are given to celebrate the happy reunion of friends and relatives. Families get together. They have jiaozi and enjoy the New Year TV show. Customs may

vary from place to place, but the same happy atmosphere is to be found everywhere in

the country.

Now, I hope you have some idea of Chinese Spring Festival.

Best wishes,

Yours,

Li Hua

There are many festivals in China. Among them, I like the Spring Festival most.Not only because it’s the biggest festival in the year, but also because it’s a new beginning that brings hope to people and it’s time for family gathering.Before the festival, people come home no matter where they are.Usually, we have a big dinner on the New Year’s Eve. And then families sit together and share their lives or planes.Some will play games or hang out to have some fun.

On the New Year’s Day, people get up early and say good words to anyone they meet.Children can get lucky money from relatives.In the following days, we will visit relative’s home and bring New Year’s wishes to them.In short, it’s a time for family gathering and all of us enjoy it.

在我国，一年有很多节日，在这些节日中，我最喜欢春节。这不仅因为它是一年中最大的节日，更因为它是新一年的开始，给人们带来新的希望，也因为它是亲朋好友团聚的时刻。不管身在何方，人们总会在春节前回到家里准备过节。

通常，我们会在除夕夜吃一顿丰盛的晚餐，之后家人团座一起，分享一年以来的生活以及新年计划。有的人则会玩游戏或者出去玩。大年初一，人们通常会早起，会与见到的人说吉祥话。孩子们会得到压岁钱。在接下来的几天里，人们会带上新年祝福互相串门拜年。总之，春节是一个欢聚一堂、供人享乐的日子。

Every year, when the Spring Festival comes, which is the biggest festival in China, Chinese people from all over the world will come back to their hometown and spend the day together. For me, as I grow up, I am not that excited about spring festival as I was a kid did. But it is true that this day let people stay together no matter how busy and how far they are. I barely have chances to see my relatives, but in Spring Festival, we will have dinner and talk the whole night. It is such a great moment for us to cherish. The meaning of Spring Festival is important for everyone.

每年，中国最大的节日春节到来的时候，来自世界各地的华人都会回到家乡，一起度过这一天。对我来说，长大之后我对春节就不像小时候那样兴奋了。但是春节确实会让大家都聚在一起，不管有多忙，多远。我很少有机会见得到我的亲戚，但我们会在春节一起吃晚饭，聊天聊上一整晚。这是一个值得我们珍惜的伟大时刻。春节的意义对每个人来说都是重要的。

My Sheep year Spring Festival is special. My uncle and my aunt came back from Shanghai. My family  were very happy to keep the Spring Festival with them. And it was the most exciting festival of all the festivals.

On New Year’s Eve, my father and my uncle talked about their work together. My mum did some cooking with my aunt Grandparents and I watched the New Year TV programmes. At about six o’clock, we had a special family dinner. We all thought the dumplings were delicious.

On the first day of the New Year, we visited our relatives. In the afternoon, we went shopping in Jiefanf Road. My uncle bought some Jay’s CDs. He likes Jay’s music very much. There were so many people on the road. It was more alive than any other time of a year.

On the second and the third days, we spent a wonderful weekend in the country. There were much bigger trees than in the city. And the animals were more beautiful than in the city. We all enjoyed ourselves.

每年的大年三十，也就是除夕夜，妈妈、爸爸带着我和哥哥一起去外婆家吃年夜饭。

外婆做了一桌丰富的饭菜，有美味可口的鱼，有香喷喷的烤鸭，有红彤彤的螃蟹，还有各种蔬菜和饮料……大家围坐在一起吃着津津有味的年夜饭，还不时的举杯祝贺新年快乐，万事如意，年年有余。吃过年夜饭后，我还拿到了好多压岁钱。就去催爸爸到门口放鞭炮和烟花，爸爸点燃了烟花，五颜六色的烟花映红了天空，美丽极了。我在旁边点燃了鞭炮，那噼噼啪啪的响成一片，我在鞭炮和美丽的烟花中完全陶醉了，希望我们的生活也像烟花、鞭炮一样，有声有色，多姿多彩！

导读：新年快到了，长辈又要准备红包了，英语作文压岁钱该怎么写？

篇一：压岁钱Lucky money

The spring festival is the loveliest in China， which is comes in February. Everyone loves it so much that prepare lots of things of the spring festival before it comes. In the spring festival holiday， people do many things， such as eat the dinner on the New Year‘s， set off fireworks, stroll the famous fair likes “Baiyunguan” fair.

二月份时候的春节在中国是最可爱的节日。每个人都非常喜欢它，所以在春节到来之前就准备了很东西。在春节期间，人们会做许多事情，比如，在新年吃晚餐，放烟火，拜访著名的庙宇，就像“白云观“。

On the first day of lunar， the young generation congratulates the old generation with “Happy New Year!”

阳历的第一天，年轻的一代人会向老一代人祝贺“新年快乐”

Then the old generation will give the young some lucky money which wrapped with red paper or red envelope. Because red is a color with joyful. Lucky money means the old generation‘s love to the young and hope them can have a good luck in this new year. This is the lucky money which lots of the young want.

老一代人会把压岁钱用红纸或者红包包起来给年轻的一代人。因为红色是开心的象征。压岁钱意味着老一代对年轻一代的爱，而且希望他们能在新的一年里拥有好的运气。这就是大多数年轻人都想要的压岁钱。

篇二：Kids, How Would You Deal With Your “Lucky Money”?

Kids would be overexcited during Spring Festival, for the simple reason that they would receive “lucky money”from their parents as well as other elderships.

According to ancient custom, the elder generations put a certain number of money in a red envelope, and give it to the children of the family, wishing that the children would grow up healthily and happily.

How to reasonably deal with those “lucky money”is a serious question for parents and children alike. As far as I am concerned, two ways below are worth to be considered. One sensible way is to save the money for higher education. With the development of economic and urbanization, the competition is becoming more and fiercer. The demand of people with high degree is increasing, which means, the threshold for a “white-collar”job is higher and higher. Therefore, accepted into a college is viewed as a necessary and an initial step for a good job. Given the increasing cost of college education and postgraduate education, saving the “lucky money”is at least an economic guarantees for higher education. The other way is investing, and by investing I do not mean buy stocks or bonds, but investing in self-improvement. For example, purchasing some books, literature, politic, philosophy, whatever you like.

As Bacon said, “reading makes a full man”, investing in books you are interested in would expand your knowledge and improve your attainment. However, not only books could attribute to self-improvement, art and sports or other skills could also do. Invest some money to learn piano, guitar, etc.; or to learn dancing, swimming, tennis…Or just to learn how to drive is a worthwhile acquirement. All in all, you could name other good ways to use“lucky money” of course, as long as it is worthwhile, and saving for education and investing in self-improvement are definitely among them.

The annual Spring Festival will soon come, everyone is busy to stick couplets on theSpring Festival, every family is jubilant atmosphere, very happy, our family is no exception, annual 29, I just get up and cried out, mother let my sister and I to stick couplets on the Spring Festival, we put up a big everyone in the middle of the door, the door both sides put up Spring Festival couplets, top allied is bottom allied FuZhongSheng is fond of music is "rich world wealth suisui huan" horizontal batch is "good luck in the New Year" we soon ok, Im very happy to be looked at his work.

New Years eve morning, we put on new clothes, and sister go to set off firecrackers. A villager "through the voice from our ears, as if to send blessings to families, we arevery happy. New Years eve night, we ate dinner, I and the father? Mother and sister together to watch Spring Festival gala. The wonderful performance of let my mood suddenly enlightened, crosstalk, sketch and dance... Very good. But I like the small shenyang? Ya eggs? Zhao benshan and old never put off till tomorrow what you can do "not bad money" is so fun.

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。

There is also a huge difference between Chinese and Western people. Chinese people use chopsticks and western people use fork and knife. Usually people who use fork and knife will use fork to hold the meat and cut it by knife and use fork to help to get that piece of meat into mouse. Chinese just use chopstick to pick things and pass it into your mouse.

Chinese people only have three meals during a day. But western people will have more, they have afternoon tea. Usually they would have fruits, homemade cake, tea (black tea) or biscuit with cheese. If you are a housewife and have a lot of time, you may have morning tea as well.

The Spring Festival, is the most important festival in peoples hearts, in the northeast, we pay attention to is a lot about the Spring Festival.

Every New Years day my home, this year is no exception. The day of the year, I got up early, help mom and dad and sister stick couplets, everyone. Hang everyone also has exquisite, everyone want to hang down, so that it says "fu". Mother every time for the Chinese New Year we do a dinner table, become richer than usual this year. Every mother do fish, because fish can say, "more than" year after year, there are fish meal on the table is not only to have pigs feet, pigs feet said "head".

Its time to eat, before this must set off firecrackers, because it can get rid of a "monster" and next year. At night, the lamp to burn always, it can be said for future light shine. In the evening to make dumplings, in the package dumplings, put only one have a coin, to eat the dumpling, next year everything will be good luck. In the middle of the night 12 o clock every household to set off firecrackers, because after 12 o clock for the New Year, setting off firecrackers is a happy New Year, this time to set off firecrackers said vientiane update, prosperous, also represents a new meaning.

春节，是人们心中最重要的节日，在我们东北，关于春节的讲究就不少。

每年过年我家都热热闹闹的，今年也不例外。大年三十那天，我早早的起了床，帮助爸爸妈妈和姐姐贴对联，挂福字。挂福字也有讲究，福字要倒了挂，这样就表示“福到了”。妈妈每当过年时都为我们做上一桌子的大餐，今年比往年更丰盛。每年妈妈都会做鱼，因为鱼可以表示“年年有余”，饭桌子上不仅要有鱼还要有猪蹄，猪蹄表示“有抓头”。

吃饭的时间到了，在这之前一定要放鞭炮，因为这样可以去除“怪兽”来年保平安。到了晚上，灯要一直点着，这样可以表示来年前程光明无阻。到了晚上要包饺子，在包的饺子里，只有一个放有硬币，吃到这个饺子的人，来年一切事都会顺顺利利的。到了半夜12点每家每户都要放鞭炮，因为12点后为新年，放鞭炮是喜庆新年，这个时间放鞭炮表示万象更新，大吉大利，也代表着辞旧迎新之意。

Every year, Spring Festival makes me happy, because I can spend a long

holiday to stay with my families. On the New Year’s Eve, all the families got

together. We woke up early in the morning and then my mother started to purchase

some food to prepare the big dinner. I helped my mother to bring the food.

Before dinner, there was a tradition in my hometown. We needed to bring the

chicken to take a bow to our ancestors, showing our respect and gratitude. When

the dinner’s ready, we ate happily and talked a lot. Then at night, the families

pasted the New Year’s scrolls and decorated the house. What a harmonious

environment and we enjoyed the family hour. In the next few days, I visited a

lot of relatives. It was a good chance for us to communicate with each

other.

In China， Spring Festival is the biggest day. People will come back home and enjoy spending some time with their families. So no matter how far they are， they will figure out all the ways to come back home and get reunited. The house cleaning work before the coming of this big day always brings me the happy memory.

We can find something lost a long time ago in the corner. It is like the surprise and makes me feel so excited. On the New Year’s Eve， all of my families will sit together and enjoy the real big meal. We share our happiness and the future expectation. What a nice moment.
