春节文化英文介绍（汇总20篇）

“春节”是我们中华民族的传统佳节。每到这时候，家家户户都要聚在一齐吃团圆饭。外来打工者都急急忙忙的收拾行李，准备回家，拿着一年的工资，心中暖洋洋的；我们小孩子，取得好成绩，心中美滋滋的，等待着家长们的夸奖。大街上、小区里、超市里，到处都洋溢着喜气，一派热闹的场面。

这天是大年三十。早晨，金色的阳光撒满了大地。我和妈妈兴高采烈的去街上买东西，街道上一夜之间仿佛变了个样，大街是张灯结彩，热闹非凡，家家户户贴着“倒福”、对联，还挂着红灯笼。人们穿着节日的盛装，纷纷脸带微笑地走向各个市场，有的购物，有的观赏，一片欢乐祥和的景象。到了晚上8点钟，“春节联欢晚会”开始了，我们一家坐在电视机前看，幽默风趣的小品，还有滑稽逗人的相声。节目丰富多彩，看的我眼花缭乱。“当当当……”随着新年钟声的敲响，烟花和爆竹便齐鸣起来。我和爸爸拿出早已准备好的烟花，点燃了烟花筒，只听见“轰”的一声巨响，一颗烟花弹升到了空中，在一瞬间展开了的烟花仿佛是一朵美丽的莲花在空中展开了花瓣，这时，一颗颗烟花又从烟花筒中喷发，像无数明亮而璀璨的流星，在天空中一闪而过。天空中还闪烁着其他的烟火，它们有的如一串串珍珠，有的如一颗颗流星，有的如一朵朵菊花，有的如一条条瀑布。让我目不暇接。一声声响亮的爆竹声，一朵朵光芒四射、灿烂无比的烟花，在天空中飞舞，各式各样，五光十色，把天空点缀成一朵鲜花，夜空顿时变得光彩夺目。此时的场面，被笑声、鞭炮声合成的旋律包围着，真是热闹极了。

我爱春节，爱这热闹的新年！

春节终于到了，我和爸爸妈妈兴高采烈地去奶奶家。到了奶奶家，爷爷正在贴对联呢!我和妈妈看到奶奶正在包饺子，就和奶奶帮起忙来，奶奶说："关于春节还有一个传说呢!"

很久很久以前，有一个叫年的怪兽，它经常来骚扰人们，让人们睡不好觉。又到了一年的初一，人们想逃跑，这时，来了一个白发老人，他非要住在一个老婆婆家里。不一会儿，年来了，人们劝他说："还是到深山去避一下吧!"他还不同意，人们只好自己去深山了。年刚走到门前面鞭炮的声音响了起来，年一步也不敢向前走了，白发老人披着红布走了出来。原来，年怕巨大的声音和红色，于是年被吓跑了。第二天，人们来到了村子里，发现白发老人还在那里，人们明白了，白发老人就是帮他们赶跑年的人。

今天，我不但高兴地过了年，而且我还收获到了许多知识。

关于元宵节的英文介绍

the lantern festival falls on the 15th day of the 1st lunar month, usually in february or march in the gregorian calendar. as early as the western han dynasty (206 bc-ad 25), it had become a festival with great significance. this days important activity is watching lanterns. throughout the han dynasty (206 bc-ad 220), buddhism flourished in china. one emperor heard that buddhist monks would watch sarira, or remains from the cremation of buddhas body, and light lanterns to worship buddha on the 15th day of the 1st lunar month, so he ordered to light lanterns in the imperial palace and temples to show respect to buddha on this day. later, the buddhist rite developed into a grand festival among common people and its influence expanded from the central plains to the whole of china.每年农历的正月十五日，春节刚过，迎来的就是中国的传统节日--元宵节。元宵主要的活动就是看灯。东汉明帝时期，明帝提倡佛教，听说佛教有正月十五日僧人观佛舍利，点灯敬佛的做法，就命令这一天夜晚在皇宫和寺庙里点灯敬佛，令士族庶民都挂灯。以后这种佛教礼仪节日逐渐形成民间盛大的节日。该节经历了由宫廷到民间，由中原到全国的发展过程。

till today, the lantern festival is still held each year around the country. lanterns of various shapes and sizes are hung in the streets, attracting countless visitors. children will hold self-made or bought lanterns to stroll with on the streets, extremely excited. "guessing lantern riddles"is an essential part of the festival.

lantern owners write riddles on a piece of paper and post them on the lanterns. if visitors have solutions to the riddles, they can pull the paper out and go to the lantern owners to check their answer. if they are right, they will get a little gift. the activity emerged

during peoples enjoyment of lanterns in the song dynasty (960-1279).

My name is XX， you can also call me Eason，I has such an english name just because the pronunciation of it is like my chinese name. I graduated from this university last year， and major in computer science， I liked computer very much， especially in multimedia technology， and wanted to make some achievement in this field， but when I finished my school， I realized that what I had learned was not enough for this target， I thought it would be great if I can continue my interest in that， so that was why I choose to further my study with a master degree.

People are happy when the Spring Festival comes, but do you know the origin of Spring Festival? If you dont know, just listen to me.

Legend has it that in the ancient times, there was a vicious monster, a large body, a horn with horns, and a big mouth. This monster is called nian.

At that time, there were two children, ashan and water. They were good friends. They were very brave. They often drove their cattle to the hillside to eat grass. The family said to them: "there is a year in the mountains.

"Not afraid." Ashan and water have their own minds.

That said, they went up a couple of times, but luckily they didnt touch nian. The weather turned yellow. Ah shan, water drive the cattle to come home with a monster. That was the year. The whip made a noise from the mountain, and the year, when he heard the torsion, he saw the red clothes on the water run faster.

Ah shan, ah water sees this all clear, return to the village, they say to others: year afraid of red afraid to ring, these are its weak points. We dont have to worry about it.

From then on, people wear red clothes on the twelfth lunar month, some firecrackers, and this time is called "New Year".

当我们来看秦兵马俑时，秦兵马俑已发掘了三个俑坑，三个坑的总面积是2万平方米，大约有50个篮球场大。在三个坑里，1号坑最大，这三个俑坑里的秦兵马俑大约有八千多个。

俑坑里的兵马俑一行行，一列列，十分整齐，排成了一个长方形的军阵，多么像秦始皇统率的一支队伍呀!

走近些去看，有很多兵马俑手中都拿着武器：什么矛呀，什么盾呀，等等!武士俑身高大约1。8米，体格健壮，身高和体形匀称;武士俑戴头盔，穿铠甲，脚穿战靴，拿着武器，最后等待开战!离秦兵马俑再近些，可以听见他们的呼吸声，能听见他们思念家乡的声音!

我想：秦兵马俑已经看到了自己的亲人，想拥抱他，想告诉他自己有多么的自豪，可是，脚却怎么也迈不开，只好在原地干着急。

听导游说，这些凹进去的土就是埋秦兵马俑的坑。

在观看秦兵马俑的时候，我知道第一个发现秦兵马俑的人是杨志发，如果没有杨志发，就没有我们这个珍贵的文物!

春节，我相信，这个词语大家都不陌生。来，咱们废话少说，接下来就让我讲一讲咱们中国的传统节日春节吧！

你知道咱们的传统节日春节都要有那些东西呢？嘿嘿，没错，春节咱们要准备：鱼、肉、菜、年糕最重要的是要买鞭炮、对联和福字。下面，就让我讲讲我这一次过年的经历吧！

早上（当然，不是过年的那天早上），妈妈带我出去买鞭炮、对联和福字去了，大街上早就摆满了买年货的摊子。我对妈妈说：妈妈，咱们先期买鞭炮吧！妈妈爽快地答应了。

我们走进了一家买鞭炮的店铺，我相中了几盒小鞭，我对妈妈说：妈妈，我要这些。没问题。妈妈爽快的说妈妈也买了些挂鞭。

买完鞭炮，妈妈又带我走进了卖福字合买对联的地方买了一些福字、对联等回到家贴在窗上、门上和墙上。

买完了东西，我们回到了家，把福子和对联堆在了门上和墙上。

这就是我第一次去和妈妈每年货的经历（以前都在爷爷家玩，没空去），怎么样？

Hello ！welcome to the special Chinese new years edition of discovering China. Im Alina Li and Im Ben Hedges, and today well be taking you through some of the most important traditions of Chinese new year and historical background. We will look at some of the legends behind Chinese new year and how to celebrate it. Here in the US and Chinese across the world.

The Chinese have specific way to celebrate their new year. If you walk down the street in Chinatown during Chinese New Year, you see a variety of ancient traditions such as red banners, firecrackers and lion dance performances, streets are filled with lively celebration.

However, legend has said that the new year has not always been a time of festivity. An Asian Chinese story told a chilly start to this festive holiday, it begins with an ancient Chinese beast called Nian.

Every New Year Nian would rise from swelling in the sea to ravage Chinese village in livestock and hurting people. The villages soon found out from a wise gray-haired old man that the only way to scare the beast away was to set off firecrackers and light lamps and to hang red banners on each door. As the story goes, this was the beginning of a tradition that would last thousands of years.

So this story leads to the creation of many of other traditions for celebrating Chinese New Year. lets take a look at some of these traditions.

跨越二十多个世纪，当现代人掀开层层黄土，它沉睡的双眼终于缓缓睁开。一支庞大的地下军团让整个世界为之一震。近百万兵马阵势磅礴，在黄土之下默默守卫着秦国皇灵。

历经2000多年，他们的目标仍未改变。士兵们身披铠甲，视死如归。有的望向无际的远方，似乎在思念远方的家人;有的目光坚定果敢，随时准备拿起武器，冲出城门，与来攻的敌人一决高下，毫不退缩;还有的头戴鹖冠，高大魁梧，气质超群，大将风度跃然眼前。御手紧握缰绳，目视前方，严阵以待;战马耳若削竹，眼若铜铃，昂首嘶鸣，似乎奋力疾蹄于雷霆战场之上。

好一个2000年前的古代大军阵!刹那间，我似乎被一股神秘的力量带入喊杀震天的古战场，与千万士兵冲锋陷阵，风云再起。宝剑、长矛、飞刃、弓弩……黄沙漫天，战车嘶鸣，一场惨烈地厮杀，一曲不朽的神话。

这，就是被誉为“世界第八大奇迹”的中国秦兵马俑。

在陕西西安，有一个著名的5A级风景名胜区——秦始皇兵马俑。

秦始皇陵位于距西安市30多千米的临潼区城以东的骊山之北，秦始皇陵兵马俑坑是秦始皇陵的陪葬坑，坐西向东，三坑呈品自形排列。

兵马俑是我国享誉世界的珍贵历史文物，它的规模宏大，现在已经有三个坑了。一号俑坑和二号俑坑有黑色木炭遗迹，说明一、二号俑坑的塌陷都是因为被火焚烧后造成的。一号坑最大他的面积有14260平方米，呈长方形，坑里有8000多个兵马俑，四面有斜坡门道。三号坑最小它的面积有520平方米，位于一号坑西端北侧，与二号坑东西相对，南距一号坑25米，东距二号坑120米。

俑坑中最多的是武士俑，平均身高1.80米左右，最高的1.90米以上，陶马高1.72米，长2.03米。秦俑大部分手执青铜兵器，身穿甲片细密的铠甲，胸前有彩线挽成的结穗。军吏头戴长冠，数量比武将多。秦俑的脸型、身材、表情、眉毛、眼睛和年龄都有不同之处。那些兵马俑排列得十分整齐，就像一支训练有素的军队，浩浩荡荡的向我走来，他们的表情庄重而严肃;一匹匹形体健壮的战马，肌肉丰满，好似一声下令就会腾空而起，踏上征途，仿佛让人看到了战国时期秦王一扫六国，纵横天下的雄姿。

我凝视着这些兵马俑，仿佛听见他们那强壮有力的心跳声;仿佛看到了他们浴血搏杀的样子;仿佛听见了战斗胜利的呼喊声。我在心中感慨道：“兵马俑真是太伟大了!”

世界原本有七大奇迹。但是因为有了秦始皇兵马俑，就有了八大奇迹。而秦始皇兵马俑也是被联合国教科组织批准列为《世界遗产名录》。

春节的猜灯谜活动从除夕就已经开始了，灯谜，又称为“灯虎”、“文虎”，是件非常有意思的活动，下面是关于春节猜灯谜介绍的内容，欢迎阅读！

春节猜灯谜由来的介绍

一时欢乐一时愁，想起千般不对头。如若想得千般到，自解忧来自解愁。

这首诗就是一个谜语，它的谜底正是"猜谜".相传，两千多年前，就有了猜谜这种活动。那么，猜谜咋又变成灯谜了呢？这里还有个故事呢！

据传，很早的时候，有个姓胡的财主，家财万贯，横行乡里，看人行事，皮笑肉不笑，人们都叫他"笑面虎".这笑面虎只要看见比自己穿得好的人，便象老鼠给猎捋胡子──拚命巴结；对那些粗衣烂衫的穷人，他则象饿狗啃骨头──恨不得嚼出油来。

那年春节将临，胡家门前一前一后来了两个人，前边那人叫李才，后边那个叫王少。李才衣帽整齐华丽，王少穿得破破烂烂。家丁一见李才，忙回房禀报，笑面虎慌忙迎出门来，一见来客衣帽华丽，就满脸堆笑恭敬相让。李才说要"借银十两"，笑面虎忙取来银两。李才接过银两，扬长而去。笑面虎还没回过神来，王少忙上前喊道："老爷，我借点粮。"笑面虎瞟了他一眼，见是衣着破烂的王少，就暴跳如雷地骂道："你这小子，给我滚！"王少还没来得及辩驳，就被家丁赶出大门。

回家的路上，王少越想越生气，猛然间心生一计，决定要斗斗这个笑面虎。

转眼间，春节已过，元宵将临，各家各户都忙着做花灯，王少也乐哈哈地忙了一天。到了元宵灯节的晚上，各家各户街头房前都挂上各式各样的花灯，王少也打出一顶花灯上了街。只见这花灯扎得又大又亮，更为特别的是上面还题着一首诗。王少来到笑面虎门前，把花灯挑得高高的，引得好多人围看。笑面虎正在门前观灯，一见此景，忙也挤到花灯前，见灯上题着四句诗，他认不全，念不通，就命身后的帐房先生念给他听。帐房先生摇头晃脑地念道：

头尖身细白如银，论秤没有半毫分，眼睛长到屁股上，光认衣裳不认人。

笑面虎一听，只气得面红耳赤，怒眼圆睁，哇哇乱忠："好小子，胆敢来骂老爷！"喊着，就命家丁来抢花灯。王少忙挑起花灯，笑嘻嘻地说："老爷，咋见得是骂你呢？"笑面虎气呼呼地说："你那灯上是咋写的？"王少又朗声念了一遍。笑面虎恨声说："这不是骂我骂谁？"王少仍笑嘻嘻地说："噢，老爷是犯了猜疑。我这四句诗是个谜。谜底就是针，你想想是不是？"笑面虎一想：可不哩！只气得干瞪眼，没啥说，转身狼狈地溜起了。周围的人见了，只乐得哈哈大笑。

这事后来越传越远。第二年灯节，不少人都将谜语写在花灯上，供观灯的人猜测取乐，所以就叫"灯谜".以后相沿成习，每逢元宵灯节，各地都举行灯谜活动，一直传到现在。

商业和文化的接触增多会导致一个国家特征的丧失：

影响文化：文化不是静态的，而是动态的（not static, but dynamic)；—种文化的改变主要是由 于社会环境(social environment)发生了变化。比如说，人们的饮食习惯发生了改变，这是学习 夕卜界文化的结果(Peoples eating habits have been changed as the result of learned behaviour.)； 快餐文化源自美国，有些人将此作为财富的象征(symbols of wealth),从而喜欢快餐；另外， 本地的饮食文化会改变，以适应外国人的口味（suit the tastes of visitors);

影响生活方式：进口商品的增多，对外国产品的喜好（preference for imports);人们更加熟悉 他国的文化，而忘记自身的特点（sense of identity)，社会的团结也有所损害（an erosion of social solidarity);服装、饮食、娱乐等等都被两化了 （westernized),比如说，西装现在是流行 的男性服装(the suit is the most popular outfit for men)；

欠发达国家在技术革新中起到的作用甚微(play a small role in the technological revolution),所 以需要"出卖"自己国家的主权或者利益来获得国际的帮助（concede sovereignty and interests to other countries for aid)；贫富差距加大(widening gap between the richest and poorest parts of the world)；

接受西方文化的人们成为一个国家新的统治阶级（new ruling class);人们摒弃传统的观念 (renounce traditionally-held beliefs),觉得传统观念是过时的和低人一等的（outdated and inferior);主流文化会取代老式的和各种各样的文化（A dominant culture takes over diverse cultures.),人们不再尊重传统文化（lose respect older cultures),而传统观念最终成为历史 {consigned to history)。

商业和文化的接触增多会加强一个国家的特征：

外来文化让人们意识到自己文化的特点，从而更加注意维持这种文化； 一种特殊文化会引起世界的关注，人们会更加注意保护。

One of the most conspicuous trends in the 21st century is a closer connection between countries, in both economic and cultural aspects. There is a widespread worry that this will lead to the gradual demise of countries’ identities. This issue should be viewed and analyzed from multiple perspectives.

When a country tends to develop a closer relationship with the rest of the world, it does not necessarily give up its culture. Culture is not a disgrace to but an asset of a country. An indigenous culture can distinguish one country from others, attracting foreign visitors and yielding high income. As most tourists travel abroad for learning different cultures and sampling different ways of life, such as Beijing opera in China, Japanese tea culture and Thai temples, many countries have responded with protecting and preserving their cultural identities, in an effort to keep themselves in the list of the most popular destinations. Increased tourism instills fresh life force into these countries, aiding theconservation of their features.

While tourism provides a driving force for cultural conversation, some components of a culture, such as traditions^ customs or taboos might die out over time. It seems that in some countries, the locals have become more accustomed to exotic cultures. It reflects the combined effects of the invasion of foreign cultures, either through media or through direct business interaction. For example, two decades ago, sex was a

taboo subject in China and most Chinese people felt embarrassed to talk openly about it. Over time the Western culture has permeated into the Chinese lifestyle, and the Chinese people have broken many of their time-honoured traditions. It occurs in the rest of the world as well.

As outlined above, increased interaction between countries in the domains of business and culture can either strengthen or undermine the identities of countries involved, To date there is no definite answer to this question.

Good morning, dear professors. I am glad to have the opportunity to have this interview.

My name is Anna, coming from Changchun, Jilin Province. At present I will graduate from Jilin University this June , majoring in marketing.

I am a hard-working person with great perseverance. I will try my best to finish a matter no matter how difficult it is. During my college years, I have made great progress in different areas, as a student, I work hard, and get the scholarship many times. My favorite subject is Marketing. Marketing is through a series of activities to bring value to customers. It is very interesting and valuable.

In my spare time, I am big on the traditional Chinese painting. My favorite artist is Qi baishi. He was skilled in drawing shrimp. He observed them very carefully, and life to them in the picture. It not only cultivates ones morality raises a gender, but also inherits traditional Chinese civilization. I also have a passion for watching English movies. My favorite movie is Forrest Gump. And I admire Forrest Gumps spirit. Watching English movies can teach me a lot of truths, and I can learn the foreign cultures from the movies.

I always believe that one will easily lag behind unless he keeps on learning. Of course, if I am given a chance to study at your esteemed university, I will concentrate on my study and make great efforts to master my subjects.

This is all for my self-introduction. Thank you.

This Thursday is Thanksgiving Day. The writer O’Henry called it the one day that is purely American. Thanksgiving is not a religious holiday. But it has ritual meaning. Some Americans attend religious services on the day before Thanksgiving or on Thanksgiving morning. Others travel long distances to be with their families. They have a large dinner which is the main part of the celebration. For many Americans, Thanksgiving is the only time when all members of the family gather. The holiday is a time of family reunion. Thanksgiving week is generally one of the busiest travel times of the year. However, experts say this year probably will be different. On September 11th, thousands of people died when terrorists hijacked airplanes that struck buildings in Washington D.C. and New York City. Many people now say they are worried about flying on a plane. Travel experts say almost 6 percent fewer people will make long trips this Thanksgiving compared with last year. Many Americans who usually visit family and friends by plane are driving shorter distances instead this week. Some mental health experts say the attacks have frightened people. They say people feel safer and happier close to home. More than any other holiday, Thanksgiving is a celebration of family and home. Many people say that this year they are especially thankful for their families and friends and the good things in their lives. On Thanksgiving, people enjoy a long day of cooking, eating and talking. The traditional meal almost always includes the turkey with a bread mixture cooked inside. Other traditional Thanksgiving food served with turkey are sweet potatoes, cranberries and pumpkin pie. Stores are said to sell more food at Thanksgiving than at any other time of the year, and many people eat more food at Thanksgiving than at any other time of the year. Over the years, Americans have added new traditions to their Thanksgiving celebration. For example, a number off professional and university football games are played on Thanksgiving Day. Some of the games are broadcast on national television.
