一年一度的春节又来了，我兴奋地期待着。要知道春节可是我们小孩子最喜欢的节日，在这一天，我们可以放烟花，吃饺子，贴春联，还可以拿到压岁钱。春节真是太棒了。

大家都知道，我们中国有许多传统节日，但是最重大的节日非春节莫属，今天就让我给大家介绍一下春节的习俗吧。

春节习俗一：放烟花

传说很久很久以前，有一只凶猛的怪兽，名叫“年”，每年的大年三十夜里，它都会从山里跑了崃，残害生灵，还喜欢吃人。但是，年有三个弱点，一是怕光，二是怕红色，三是怕“啪”的响声。于是，每年到年三十的时候，人们就贴上春联，点上明亮的蜡烛，燃放鞭炮，把“年”兽赶跑。后来，这成了中华民族的习俗，一直流传至今。

春节习俗二：吃饺子

饺子作为中国的传统美食，深受大家的喜爱，也是过春节必不可少的食物。你知道吗？关于饺子还有一个传说哩。

传说，一年的大年三十，天气十分寒冷，许多穷人冻掉了耳朵。名医张仲景见此十分心痛。于是，他就让妻子把羊肉、辣椒用包在一起，做得象耳朵的开关，然后放到锅里煮，煮熟了就分送到穷人家中，人们吃了身上发热，就不怕寒冷了，也不会冻掉耳朵了。这就是“饺子”的原型了。不过，那时候可不叫饺子，因为它像一个个耳朵，所以叫“银耳”。

春节习俗三：压岁钱

压岁钱是由长辈发给晚辈的，有的家里是吃完年夜饭后，人人坐在桌旁不许走，等大家都吃完了，由长辈发给晚辈。也有的人家是父母在晚上待子女睡熟后，放在他的枕头下。你知道吗？关于压岁钱还有一个传说呢：

传说很久以前，有一个叫“岁”的妖怪，来吃小孩，人们发钱来压“岁”，保孩子平安，这就是压岁钱的由来。

hello, everyone, its my honor to stand here introducing myself.

虽然今年的春节少了烟花爆竹的喧嚣，但新旧年俗的交替中，当代中国春节的文化景观与文化内涵，有了新的定义。

早在前几年，“禁燃令”可谓是掀起了轩然大波。“爆竹声中一岁除，春风送暖入屠苏。”春节放烟花，象征着中国人在大年初一，对新年的美好盼望。以前回乡下家里过年，大年初一过去，坪里尽是爆竹皮，扫起来堆在门前，意为“去家里的脏东西”。北京新修订的《北京市烟花爆竹安全管理规定》第一年实施；天津外环线以内迎来第一个“不闻鞭炮声”的春节；海南发布最严“禁燃令”，各县市落实不力将被问责；刚刚成立不久的雄安新区也实施了严格限制燃放的规定……“狗年的春节静悄悄。”有网友发出这样的感慨。

想起“禁燃令”才颁布的时候，不少的烟花贩卖商叫苦不迭：“一年就在这个时候赚钱赚的多，现在不敢了，这要怎么办？”诚然，这个法令一颁布，首当其冲的是浏阳，浏阳烟花天下闻名，更是文化遗产、前人给我们的宝贵财富，这岂不是要把老祖宗留下来的东西给扼杀掉？年味是不是就淡了？传统习俗是不是要丢掉了？

这样的担心可以理解，在APEC蓝、美丽中国的号召下，难免会有冲突。然而，传统和习俗在时间延续中找到与当下时代处境的最佳结合点，真正做到与时俱进，才能体现传统的现代价值，彰显习俗的内在生命力。比如为祭祖的民众免费发放鲜花代替鞭炮，加强市场监管提高电子鞭炮的供给数量和质量，为老百姓提供更多安全绿色的选择。众人合力、大家齐心，年味一点没淡，反而越来越浓。

燃放烟花爆竹只是一种形式，真正的传统流淌在血液里、绵延在精神中。虽然少了烟花爆竹的喧闹，但旧年俗与新年俗交相辉映，塑造着当代中国春节的文化景观。以绿色、文明、符合时代发展需要的方式传承这份时光财富，春节这一承前启后的时间节点，才能成为中华文明代代相传的时间象征。

大年三十是一年的最后一天，是大人们的忙碌，小孩子最盼望的一天。大人们一大早起床，忙碌着弄好吃的东西，和布置家居。

吃过中午饭，大家分工合作，首先最要紧的是贴春联、贴门神，使家里变得喜气洋的。这才有过春节的气氛。接下来奶奶用一早准备好的祭品祭拜祖先、祭灶；祭灶听说是我国民间影响很大，流传极广的习俗。古时候，差不多家家户户灶间都没有“灶王爷”神位，人们称这尊神为“灶君司命”负责管理各家的灶火，被作为一家的保护神受到崇拜。

到了吃年夜饭的时候，是家里团团圆圆的一次饭局。现在的年夜饭，有些人喜欢在大酒店、大饭店里订年夜饭，也成了一种时尚与奢侈的享受。

吃过年夜饭以后，妈妈为我准备好“大吉水”洗澡；洗完澡后，穿上新衣服、新鞋子、新袜子。然后大人们要给小孩子们派红包；我把红包放在枕头下面，作为“压岁钱”。

从年初一开始，大人带着小孩到长辈和亲朋好友家拜年。大家互道“恭喜发财”“新年快乐”“身体健康”等吉祥的话语。

到了夜晚，放烟花、爆竹，这也是春节的传统习俗。听说原来只是单纯的红纸加火药，但现在花样可多了。像礼花“火箭”、“糖里先生等等。这都是最喜欢的。

春节简直太棒了，又可以穿新衣服、拿红包、又有好吃的、好玩的。要是每天都过春节，那该我好啊！

[春节的传统文化作文500字

中国的传统文化博大精深，渊远流长，包括古文、诗、词、民族音乐、民族戏剧、国画、书法、对联、灯谜、歇后语。还有一些传统的节日，比如春节、元宵节、清明节、端午节、中秋节等。其中我最喜欢的节日是春节。

春节有很多美好的传统习俗，比如扫尘、洗浴、贴窗花、贴对联、贴年画、吃饺子、发压岁钱、还有放鞭炮……为什么要放鞭炮、贴对联呢?我给讲讲吧。

传说中，古时候有一种叫“年”的怪兽，它长着锋利的牙，尖尖的角，凶猛无比。“年”长年深居海底，每到新年的晚上，怪兽就会爬上岸，去袭击山角下的一个小村庄，吞食牲畜，伤害人命。村里人知道会来怪兽，把门锁的紧紧，可是不管怎样，“年”就会进来，偷吃村民的东西，伤害人畜，大家都害怕极了，但又无能为力。

这一年的除夕，人们正准备扶老携幼去避难。这时，一位仙翁走过来，他告诉村民“年”怕红色和响声，人们听了连忙准备了红对联贴在门上。晚上，“年”又来了，它一见红色，听到锣鼓声阵阵，吓得赶紧逃跑了。从此，村里太平了。以后每逢过新年家家户户都贴春联、贴年画、放鞭炮，这个习俗一直延续至今，还越传越广，逐渐成了中华民族最隆重的传统节日。

过年我最喜欢的就是放鞭炮了。吃完年夜饭，我就会拿着鞭炮跑出去。我在外面找到一个瓶子，取出一个炮，在瓶口上弄一个洞把炮放在口上，点燃只听“嘭”的一声，把瓶子炸了一个洞。

我最喜欢春节了，期盼春节快快到来。

Hi everyone, glad to introduce myself. I graduated from Xx junior high school, my name is xxx, comes from a beautiful city named xx. I like making friend with others, playing computer and reading. I am proud of studying with everyone in the same class for the coming years. I am sure our common dreams will come true from now on. Thanks.

一阵阵喜庆的爆竹声又迎来了我们欺盼已久的春节，孩子们满怀着无比激动的心情张开双臂拥抱春天，欢度春节。

三十早晨，我迫不及待地从温暖的被窝中钻出来，穿上漂亮的新衣服；扎起俏皮的马尾辫；抹上粉嘟嘟的小脸蛋；装满一兜兜糖果，来到户外尽情嬉戏。家中的大人们可就忙了，有的准备年饭；有的贴春联；有的挂灯笼；还有的打扫房间……欢歌笑语飞出窗外，到处洋溢着和谐吉祥的气氛。

在不知不觉间已夕阳西下。这时，亲朋好友都已聚在一起吃团圆饭。团圆饭非常丰富，一碗碗肉丸代表团团圆圆，一条条鲤鱼象征年年有余，一声声祝福寄托美好心愿。席间，长辈要发压岁钱。我家有一个约定，那就是晚辈给长辈磕了头才能得到红包。

吃完团圆饭后，大家都坐在客厅里守岁、看春节联欢晚会。看春晚已经成为家乡的民俗习惯。还差十秒就十二点了，主持人面带微笑，情绪激昂地开始倒计时，刚数到“一”耳边就响起了浑厚、悠长的钟声，那是新年的钟声啊！伴随着新年的钟声和脚步，楼下响起了震耳欲聋的鞭炮声，犹如万箭齐发。五彩缤纷的礼花腾空而起，冲入云霄，好似仙女散花。绚丽的礼花的有像流星；有的像巨龙；还有的像秋菊……染红了天空，照亮了大地。

走进家乡，走进春节，走进春天。

[计算机英文自我介绍作文

我们的大中国，美丽又多彩，每一处优美壮观的风景，都让我们停下了脚步，流连忘返。看，那气势磅礴的长城，尤如一条矫健的巨龙，越群山，经绝壁，穿草原，跨沙漠，起伏在崇山峻岭之巅，黄河彼岸和渤海之滨。那美丽壮观的庐山，近处古木参天，绿阴蔽日;远处山峦起伏，白云出没……中国的名胜古迹许许多多，每一处都彰显着中国大好山河的别样风彩。其中，那风景优美，壮丽巍峨的泰山给我留下了深刻的印象。

记得那天，天还没亮时我们就到了五岳之首——泰山的脚下。这五岳之首还真不是浪得虚名，高耸巍峨，重叠的山势，厚重的形体，苍松巨石的烘托，云烟的变化，使它在雄浑中兼有明丽，静穆中透着神奇，成为我国山水名胜的集大成者。

想要看遍泰山风光的我们，选择了步行。在往上爬的过程中，我不禁爱上了这里。郁郁葱葱的数目遮住了大片的阳光，只有极少数光线透过一丝丝的缝隙投射下来，说起来，还是有点耀眼的。树丛中掺杂着各种鸟的叫声，叽叽喳喳的，仿佛在欢迎着我们的到来。石缝中不时会有清泉流出，清澈见底。隐隐的，我看到了几条小鱼，它们在欢快的游着，嬉戏着，玩耍着，在尽情的享受着大自然的闲适。我们接着爬行，途中我有了一丝丝的后悔，因为我们爬到中天门后，已经累的上气不接下气了。虽然有索道，但我们为了风景，也为了锻炼身体，还是硬着头皮上了。

过了中天门，又过了几个门后，便到了最陡峭的十八盘。之前就听说，泰山十八盘是泰山登山盘路中最险要的一段，起初不太相信，到了才知道这十八盘果然是名不虚传，高耸入云，站在这里可以看见脚下的云彩，却看不清身后的人，好像身处在仙境一样，台阶也非常陡峭，如果不扶着把手好像就会掉下去。经过了一个多小时之后，我们才穿过了十八盘，到达了最后一站——南天门。登上南天门的那一刻，不知怎么的，之前所有的累都烟消云散了，身体仿佛已于这个令人神游的盛景融为一体，心情别提多畅快了。看着身下那被云雾缠绕的青山，便体会到了那一览众山小的情怀，我想，这就是一种征服感吧!山上有许多买纪念品的，我们闲逛了许久之后，便开始了下山之旅。

这次的旅程，历经十多个小时，虽然累，但我们却乐在其中。中国的大好山河，每一处都充满了己的魅力，每一处都有和自己的韵味，每一处都彰显着我们美丽大中国的绚丽多姿。

亲爱的祖国,您曾经饱受欺凌受人宰割，你曾经千疮百孔一穷二白，可是这一切都已成为过去。你千千万万代代相传的优秀儿女，不屈不挠奋起抗争，以热血和智慧捍卫着你五千年凝铸成的尊严。

如今，你以“中华人民共和国”的名字屹立在世界的东方，祖国大好山河的魅力吸引着世界的眼球。我成长路上，永远为你喝彩，永远为你保驾护航，不允许任何人伤害你，破坏你，你是我们的家园，是我们的骄傲!?

我在春节之前和姐姐看了一部动漫叫做：小门神……

春节这天我就拿着一张纸去问我的爸爸：“爸爸，这个上面是不是门神啊?爸爸!”“对，这张纸上面画的就是门神，门神可以保护我们，他可以避邪驱灾哦!”我爸爸捧着那张纸对我说。

午餐时间到了，我又跑去问妈妈：“妈妈，中午吃什么啦，怎么这么香啊?是什么了，快说!”“啊，今天中午我们吃饺子，好不好呀?”我妈妈一只手包着水饺，眼睛却看着锅里面的水饺问着我。我便对着我妈妈说：“好呀好呀，我去告诉姐姐中午吃水饺喽!”

电脑室门外：我听着从里面传来的一阵阵歌声，我就知道肯定是我姐姐又在玩YY了，我推门而进：“姐姐，你才中午吃什么呀?”“我猜中午肯定吃水饺哦!”我姐姐盯着我看“对呀对呀!姐姐好棒呢!”我的眼睛里闪烁着崇拜的光芒。

帮妈妈买完醋回来后，我一眼就看到爸爸再贴门神了。

午餐时间过了，我和姐姐就在网上找春晚的视频，我们就在那里看春晚，一直看到晚餐开始的时间……

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.

What strikes one first in a birds -eye view of Beijing proper is a vast tract of golden roofs flashing brilliantly in the sun with purple walls occasionally emerging amid them and a stretch of luxuriant tree leaves flanking on each side. That is the former Imperial Palace, popularly known as the Forbidden City, from which twenty-four emperors of the Ming and Qing Dynasties ruled China for some 500 years——from1420 to 1911. The Ming Emperor Yong Le, who usurped the throne from his nephew and made Beijing the capital, ordered its construction, on which approximately 10,000 artists and a million workmen toiled for 14 years from 1406 to 1420. At present, the Palace is an elaborate museum that presents the largest and most complete ensemble of traditional architecture complex and more than 900,000 pieces of court treasures in all dynasties in China.

Located in the center of Beijing, the entire palace area, rectangular in shape and 72 hectares in size, is surrounded by walls ten meters high and a moat 52 meters wide. At each corner of the wall stands a watchtower with a double-eave roof covered with yellow glazed tiles.

The main buildings, the six great halls, one following the other, are set facing south along the central north-south axis from the Meridian Gate, the south entrance, to Shenwumen, the great gate piercing in the north wall. On either side of the palace are many comparatively small buildings. Symmetrically in the northeastern section lie the six Eastern Palaces and in the northwestern section the six Western Palaces. The Palace area is divided into two parts: the Outer Court and the Inner Palace. The former consists of the first three main halls, where the emperor received his courtiers and conducted grand ceremonies, while the latter was the living quarters for the imperial residence. At the rear of the Inner Palace is the Imperial Garden where the emperor and his family sought recreation.

The main entrance to the Palace is the Meridian Gate(1), which was so named because the emperor considered himself the "Son of the Heaven" and the Palace the center of the universe, hence the north-south axis as the Meridian line going right through the Palace. The gate is crowned with five towers, commonly known as the Five-Phoenix Towers(2), which were installed with drums and bells. When the emperor went to the Temple of Heaven, bells were struck to mark this important occasion. When he went to the Ancestral Temple, it was the drums that were beaten to publicize the event.

Beyond the Meridian Gate unfolds a vast courtyard across which the Inner Golden Water River runs from east to west. The river is spanned by five bridges, which were supposed to be symbols of the five virtues preached by Confucius——benevolence, righteousness, rites, intelligence, and fidelity(3).

At the north end of the courtyard is a three-tiered white marble terrace, seven meters above the ground, on which, one after another, stand three majestic halls; the Hall of Supreme Harmony(4), the Hall of Complete Harmony(5), and the Hall of Preserving Harmony(6).

The Hall of Supreme Harmony, rectangular in shape, 27 meters in height, 2,300 square meters in area, is the grandest and most important hall in the Palace complex. It is also Chinas largest existing palace of wood structure and an outstanding example of brilliant color combinations. This hall used to be the throne hall for ceremonies which marked great occasions: the Winter Solstice, the Spring Festival, the emperors birthday and enthronement, and the dispatch of generals to battles, etc. On such occasions there would be an imperial guard of honor standing in front of the Hall that extended all the way to the Meridian gate.

On the north face of the hall in the center of four coiled-golden dragon columns is the "Golden Throne", which was carved out of sandalwood. The throne rests on a two-meter-high platform with a screen behind it. In front of it, to the left and right, stand ornamental cranes, incense burners and other ornaments. The dragon columns entwined with golden dragons measure one meter in diameter. The throne itself, the platform and the screen are all carved with dragon designs. High above the throne is a color-painted coffered ceiling which changes in shape from square to octagonal to circular as it ascends layer upon layer. The utmost central vault is carved with the gilded design of a dragon toying with pearls. when the Emperor mounted the throne, gold bells and jade chimes sounded from the gallery, and clouds of incense rose from the bronze cranes and tortoises and tripods outside the hall on the terrace. The aura of majesty created by the imposing architecture and solemn ritual were designed to keep the subjects of the "Son of the Heaven" in awe and reverence.

The Hall of Complete Harmony is smaller and square with windows on all sides. Here the emperor rehearsed for ceremonies. It is followed by the Hall of Preserving Harmony in which banquets and imperial examinations were held.

Behind the Hall of Preserving Harmony lies a huge marble ramp with intertwining clouds and dragons carved in relief. The slab, about 6.5 meters long, 3 meters wide and 250 tons in weight, is placed between two flights of marble steps along which the emperors sedan was carried up or down the terrace. It is the largest piece of stone carving in the Imperial Palace. Quarried in the mountains scores of kilometers southwest of Beijing, this gigantic stone was moved to the city by sliding it over a specially paved ice road in winter. To provide enough water to build the ice road, wells were sunk at very 500 meters along the way.

The three halls of the Inner Palace are replicas of the three halls in the front, but smaller in size. They are the Palace of Heavenly Purity(7), the Hall of Union(8), and the Palace of Earthly Tranquility(9).

The Palace of Heavenly Purity was once the residence of the Ming emperors and the first two of the Qing emperors. Then the Qing Emperor Yong Zheng moved his residence to the Palace of Mental Cultivation and turned it into an audience hall to receive foreign envoys and handled the state affairs. The promotion and demotion of officials were also decided in this hall. After the emperors death his coffin was placed here for a 49-day period of mourning.

The Palace of Union was the empresss throne room and the Hall of Earthly Tranquility, once a private living room for the empress, was partitioned. The west chamber served religious purposes and the east one was the bridal chamber where the newly married emperor and empress spent their first two nights after their wedding.

The Imperial Garden was laid out during the early Ming dynasty. Hundreds of pines and cypresses offer shade while various flowers give colors to the garden all year round and fill the air with their fragrance. In he center of the garden is the Hall of Imperial Peace, a Daoist temple, with a flat roof slightly sloping down to the four eaves. This type of roof was rare in ancient Chinese architecture. In he northeastern corner of the garden is a rock hill, known as the Hill of the Piled-up Wonders, which is topped with a pavilion. At the foot of the hill are two fountains which jet two columns of water high into the air. It is said that on the ninth night of the ninth month of the lunar calendar, the empress would mound the hill to enjoy the autumn scene. It is also believed that climbing to a high place on that day would keep people safe from contagious diseases.

The six Western Palaces were residences for empresses and concubines. They are kept in their original way for show. The six Eastern Palaces were the residences for them too. But now they serve as special museums: the Museum of Bronze, the Museum of Porcelain and the Museum of Arts and Crafts of the Ming and Qing dynasties. In the northeastern-most section of the Inner Palace are the Museum of Traditional Chinese Paintings and the Museum of Jewelry and Treasures where rare pieces of imperial collections are on display.

Now the Forbidden City is no longer forbidding, but inviting. A visit to the Palace Museum will enrich the visitors knowledge of history, economy, politics, arts as well as architecture in ancient China.

春节前夕的扫尘开始了，“咚、咚、咚，”一大清早我和妈妈摆这忙那的，忽然，妈妈说到：“是不是人少了点？我们去叫奶奶吧！”我一蹦三尺高。最后，我们分好了工。

妈妈拖地，我擦桌子，爸爸在收拾屋子里的东西，奶奶在打扫墙角上的小蜘蛛网，你忙你的，我忙我的。不一会儿，终于把屋子收拾干净了。此时，我心里充满了喜悦。“笃笃笃”有客人来了呀！门铃的声音清晰的响了起来。

“妈妈，有客人来了”我小声对妈妈说。

我连忙打开门，呀！是最心疼我的爷爷，我忙伸出我的“攒钱手”对着爷爷不自然地笑了笑。在我身边的妈妈看出了我的心思，一把拽过我说：“小孩伸什么手？嘴巴才靠得住，用得长久呢！”我恍然大悟，赶紧说：“祝爷爷福如东海，寿比南山呀！我爱您！”

“好！好！呵呵！”爷爷摸着胡子笑呵呵地说，顺手又从口袋里拿出一个画着娃娃脸的小红包，放在了我手心里，像个老顽童似的走了。

过年嘛，我们小孩子的压岁钱是少不了的。

这就是让我终生难忘的春节。

春节是我国的传统节日，一到春节，人们就喜气洋洋。有的放着烟花爆竹，有的在贴对联，还有的在挂灯笼。你们知道春节是怎么来的吗？就让我来讲讲这个神话故事吧！

传说，很久以前有一只叫做？年？的怪兽。每到除夕夜都会到村庄里面去祸害百姓，搞的民不聊生。后来有一个老人来到这个小村庄，老人问农民：？听说每到除夕夜，你们这里就会有一只叫年的怪兽来捣乱，我是特地赶来处理这件事的。？人们不相信这位老人可以赶走年兽，所以没人理他。到了除夕夜，人们又像往年一样躲了起来，只有那位老人留在村庄里。年兽出来了，老爷爷拿出一副对联贴在村口，又点燃了一挂爆竹，年兽一看，吓得赶忙逃跑。原来，那位老爷爷是神仙，特地来赶跑年兽，保护百姓。另外，老爷爷临走前，还留下三件东西来对付年兽，分别是灯笼、爆竹、对联。从此这件事就被传开了，以后每到除夕夜，人们就在家门口贴上对联，燃放爆竹，从此以后年兽就再也不敢来了。

这个故事是不是很有意思？过年还可以吃年糕，吃饺子，放烟花，还有很多其他的习俗。

过年真是非常的有趣，家家户户都是喜气洋洋、开开心心、快快乐乐的。我很喜欢过年，因为有很多好吃的东西，还有新衣服穿。希望每个人都过一个开开心心的年。

“叮铃铃，叮铃铃……”同学们随着清脆的下课铃声来到了操场上我也信步走出教室，扶在走廊的栏杆上，俯身向楼下的操场望去。

这个操场不大，但人却不少。有的打羽毛球，有的在玩单杠，有的在跳绳……大家都玩得很起劲。可最热闹的还是西北角，十来个一年级的女同学正在玩“丢手绢”的游戏。

十来个人围成一个圆圈，拍着手，唱着歌：“丢手绢，丢手绢，轻轻第放在小朋友的后面……”她们虽然嘴里唱着歌，眼睛却偷偷地轻瞄，生怕手绢丢在自我身后，自我又没有及时发现。

一个扎蝴蝶结的小女孩撇着手，拿着一条花手绢，正绕着园圈在悄悄地走着，走啊，走啊，小女孩找到了目标，把手绢放在一个小个子的女孩身后，又装着若无其事的样貌向前走了几步，然后猛跑起来。

小个子女孩很机灵，立刻就察觉身后的手绢。她扭转身，抓起地上的手绢，一跃而起，向小蝴蝶结的小女孩追去。“快！快！抓住她！”“加油！加油！别让她抓住！”围坐着的小女孩们为那两个你追我赶的小女孩助威，到底还是没有抓住蝴蝶结的小女孩，被罚唱了一首歌。

在继续进行，快乐的笑声、优美的歌声……

The history of the Spring Festival is very long. Legend has it that there was the custom of "Spring Festival" in the neolithic period. There is a legend about the origin of "Spring Festival" : there was an animal called nian in ancient China. "Year", the head long antenna, fierce abnormality. "Nian" lived at the bottom of the sea for a long time, and every day on a certain day (it was New Years eve), he climbed ashore and devoured livestock and killed people. Therefore, every New Years eve, the people of the village of the village of the village of the village to help young people to escape the "year" of harm.

On the New Years eve, an old beggar came from the village. Village a hurried panic scene, nobody answered him, only village east an old woman gave the old man some food, and urged him quickly up the hill avoid "year", the old man beard snatched up say with smile: "mother-in-law if let me stay overnight in the home, Ill get years away." The old woman continued to persuade, begging the old man smiling without a word.

In the middle of the night, "nian" broke into the village. It found that the atmosphere in the village was different from previous years: the wife of the village dongtou, the door was covered with red paper, the candle in the house was bright. "Nian" shuddered, a strange cry. Near the door, there was a sudden "crackling", "nian" shuddering, and dared not to move forward. Originally, "nian" was most afraid of the red, the fire and the explosion. At this time, the door of the mother-in-law opened, and a man in red robe in the hospital laughed. "Nian" paled with surprise, and fled. The next day was the first day of the first month, and people who came back to the village were surprised to see the village safe and sound. At this moment, the old woman suddenly understood, and hurried to tell the villagers the promise of begging the old man. It quickly spread around the village, and people knew how to get rid of the year.

From now on, every year on New Years eve, every house red couplet, set off firecrackers; Householder candle fire is clear, shoule to be old. Early in the early morning, I would like to walk a friend to say hello. This custom has been widely circulated, becoming the most solemn traditional festival of Chinese folk.

我非常盼望春节，因为每一次过春节我都能得到很多很多压岁钱，而且能与我在北京的表哥玩，因为爷爷的生日是腊月二十七，与春节非常近，我大姑就合在一起，就过爷爷的生日，到了春节有时回到北京过，有时也在爷爷家过。

今年我尤其盼望春节，因为我爷爷奶奶今年第一年，在我的旧家生活，顺便照顾我，到了春天才回到自己家。那么，我们今年的春节应该怎么过呢?

我想象中，今年的春节是这样过的：我在大姑回来之前，争取做完作业，然后痛痛快快地玩。从我大姑回来，我们便开始准备年货，加上给老爷过生日的东西。我和我的表哥，上午我和表哥去楼下玩，或者可以去公园玩，也可以去逛商场。下午我们吃完午饭，先玩电脑，最后可以干别的，比如看电视等等。

年夜饭我已构思好了。首先，我们先去买一个吃火锅用的专用锅，因为我们家有电磁炉，可是吃火锅用的锅已经破了。然后买一些调料，还有羊肉片，再买一些蔬菜。为什么不去饭店里吃火锅呢?因为现在的火锅基本上都有添加剂，什么火锅飘香剂啊、火锅红油啊，都有好多，所以我们不敢出去吃了。吃火锅时，还要看着春节联欢晚会。吃完了，我们一起包饺子。

第二天，我们必须回一趟老家。干什么?串门领压岁钱啊!然后我们回来以后继续玩，如果累了，就睡午觉吧。不过我不知道是怎么分配住宿，以前从来没有这样过。

盼春节，盼寒假，盼期末，盼放假。
