我们中华民族有很多传统节日，如除夕、元宵、清明、端午??今天，我给大家介绍的是中华传统节日之一——中秋节。

在每年的家历八月十五这一天晚上，人们无论在那个地方，都会回来跟家人团聚。那一天晚上月亮特别大，特别圆，也特别亮。中秋节晚上，大家在一起吃月饼，吃完后走出门外赏月，这时，如果你拿望远镜去望月亮，你会发现月亮里似乎有一棵桂树，有一个人在拼命地砍树，可就是砍不断。传说，那是犯了错误的吴刚被王母娘娘惩罚，让他把广寒宫里的神桂树砍倒，才可以回于宫继续做神。可这查神桂树无论都砍不倒，吴刚也就回不了天宫，享不了福了。这个传说有趣吧！正像苏轼所说那样：“明月几时有，把酒问青天??但愿人长久，千里共婵娟。”

在我的家乡长安镇，人们过中秋节时，除了吃月饼赏月外，还举办烧烤呢！今年，我们学校还举行了猜灯谜、送灯笼的活动。大人吃水果、吃花生、聊天、唱卡拉OK，笑声不断；而我们小孩呢，则举着灯笼，在操场上闲逛，比一比谁的灯笼大，谁的灯笼亮，操场上顿时像有无数个一闪一闪的萤火虫似的，真好玩！

通过这次综合性学习，我了解到我国人民非常重视亲情，他们无论在多远的地方，都会思念家乡，思念亲人。每逢过年过节，不管多忙，他们都会回来和亲人团聚。

中国的传统文化----------剪纸

中国是个古老的国家，传统文化更是源远流长，丰富多彩。有民间工艺陶瓷，民族艺术戏剧，国画，风俗习惯端午节赛龙舟，元宵节闹花灯等等，不过最值得一提的就是民间艺术剪纸了。中国传统节日作文1000

剪纸是中国的民间艺术瑰宝，是民间艺术的一朵奇葩，看了让人羡慕不已，啧啧称赞。剪纸的内容包含着浓浓的生活气息。鸟，虫，鱼，兽，花草树木亭桥风景。这些人们熟悉而又热爱的自然景观成了人们剪纸的花样。每逢过年过节或喜事临门，人们都要剪一些“福”、“喜”、“寿”等贴在窗户上，门上来表示庆贺。   瞧，这幅剪纸作品多有趣呀。一只穿着彩衣的小老鼠拖着一条长长的尾巴，他的眼睛滴溜溜地搜索着四面八方，生怕被人发现它在偷灯油。可是老天像和他作对似的，葫芦里的灯油全流到地上了，小老鼠以最快的速度，从灯台上跳下来趴在地上，伸出那利剑似的舌头贪婪的舔着地上的灯油，那滑稽的样子真是逗人喜爱！

剪纸艺人剪得十二生肖也是栩栩如生，惟妙惟肖。就连外国人也啧啧称奇，竖起大拇指一个劲的来夸赞。十二生肖被印成邮票飞到世界各地，让全世界的人都来认识中国博大精深的剪纸文化。

太精美了！它体现了民间艺人的心灵手巧，他是劳动人民聪明才智的展示，是民间传统文化的结晶。我也想像民间艺人一样剪出一副精美绝伦的剪纸作品，送给外国的小朋友，让他们了解中国的剪纸艺术，让剪纸成为中外文化交流的桥梁。

我家乡的春节

春节灯节，清明端午，中秋重阳。从小到大，我们都是伴随着这些年年依旧的节日，和亲人一起度过一年又一年的。这些节目，包含着丰富的民俗文化，凝聚着浓浓的血脉亲情，在这众多的节日中，我则独情于春节。

每年的春节，都异常的热闹，家家户户的门前都挂起红灯笼，亲戚朋友都大老远的回到自己的家为的只是吃上这一年才有一次的团年饭。饭桌上，大人们都讲述着这一年的所有经历，而孩子们则毫无忌讳的吃着、喝着、玩着、闹着。   我最喜欢的是大年三十的夜晚，等到了十二点整时，千家万户都会拿出早已准备了许久的烟花，随着“轰轰”的响声，天空中绽开了五颜六色的花朵，姹紫嫣红，美丽极了，随着这一阵阵声响，旧的一年过去了，新的一年又开始了。   大年初一，穿上新衣裳，早早地跑到亲戚家，逐个地给长辈拜年。这时，长辈便会拿出好吃的点心和一个红包塞进我的口袋中，望着自己的收获，心中真是比吃了蜜还要甜，不禁开心的蹦跳起来……

给长辈们拜完年后，家中的主妇便都到厨房准备吃的去了，没多大会儿，一顿丰盛的午餐便做好了，有香喷喷的烤鸭、烤鸡、蒸肉，还有各种各样的炒菜，但都以猪肉居多，因为家乡人都喜爱猪肉嘛！不仅有菜，还有孩子们爱喝的各种饮料，大人们爱喝的各种酒、茶。饭间，家中的主妇总是主动地给大家盛饭、递菜，让大家吃饱、吃好。

大年的初四或者初五，我都会随父母去外婆家，同样给他们拜年，然后得到属于自己的那一份红包，让自己再一次陶醉在甜蜜中……

瞧，这就是我家乡的春节，一个热闹，充满了人情味的春节。我爱我的家乡，也同样爱自己家乡的春节。

优美的古代诗歌

生活中，我们处处可以感受到丰富多彩的传统文化。我们有精美的民间工艺，我们有古老的民族艺术，我们有独特的风俗习惯。其中我最喜欢的就是优美的古代诗歌。

放学后我回到家，写完作业就赶紧跑到电脑旁，查关于古代诗歌的资料。 我了解到《诗经》是最早的一部诗歌总集。人们在生活与劳动中有感而发，创作出诗歌。早期的诗就是歌，表演时配乐歌唱。诗歌的特点是语言精炼形象，节奏鲜明，韵律优美，一般分行排列。我还知道写景抒情的诗有《赠汪伦》《蜂》《咏柳》??咏物言志的诗有《梅花》《石灰吟》??记事感怀的诗有《九月九日忆山东兄弟》《夜书所见》??怀古咏史的诗有《赤壁》《贾生》??边塞征战的诗有《凉州词》??

这些诗我背的滚瓜烂熟。我去给同学们背，他们都夸我背的好呢！

我会背了很多诗，心里很高兴。以后我还要继续学习古诗，感受古代诗歌的优美。

[中国传统节日作文中秋节

DragonBoatFestival, often known as Tuen Ng Festival or Duan Wu Festival, is a traditional Chinese festival held on the fifth day of the fifth month of the Chinese calendar. It is also known as the Double Fifth.[citation needed] It has since been celebrated, in various ways, in other parts of East Asia as well, most notably Korea.

The exact origins of Duan Wu are unclear, but one traditional view holds that the festival memorializes the Chinese poet Qu Yuan of the Warring States Period. He committed suicide by drowning himself in a river because he was disgusted by the corruption of the Chu government. The local people, knowing him to be a good man, decided to throw food into the river to feed the fishes to prevent them from eating Qus body. They also sat on dragon boats, and tried to scare the fishes away by the thundering sound of drums aboard the boat and the fierce looking dragon-head in the front of the boat.

In the early years of the Chinese Republic, Duan Wu was also celebrated as "Poets Day", due to Qu Yuans status as Chinas first poet of personal renown.

Today, people eat zongzi (the food originally intended to feed the fishes) and race dragon boats in memory of Qus dramatic death.

中文：

龙舟节，端午节经常或端午节，是一种传统的中国节日对中华历5月5日举行。它也被称为端五。[来源请求]它已经被庆祝，以各种方式在其他地区以及东亚，尤其是韩国。

端午确切的起源尚不清楚，但一种传统的观点认为，节日来源在中国诗人屈原的战国时期。他犯的河中溺死自己，因为他是由政府的腐败深恶痛绝楚自杀。当地群众，知道他是一个好人，决定投身到河里的鱼的食物，饲料，以防止吃屈原的尸体他们。他们还坐在龙舟，并试图吓唬由船上和激烈的寻找龙在船头头战鼓齐鸣声中的鱼了。

在中国民国初年，段坞也被“诗人节“庆祝，由于屈原作为中国的第一个著名的诗人的个人地位。

今天，人们吃粽子的曲的戏剧性死亡内存和龙舟比赛(原本打算饲料鱼类的食物)。

今天是中秋节，吃完早饭，我和爸爸妈妈一起去购买礼物回姥姥家，一到姥姥家，妈妈让我拿礼物，我给姥姥说：“中秋节快乐”，姥姥、姥爷听见很高兴，姥姥做了好多好吃的，然后哥哥也回到姥姥家里，我们围到桌子前面一边吃饭一边喝着果汁，饭后睡完午觉，一起到绿色庄园游玩。

在沙滩上，我们拿着瓶子装沙子，装满后慢慢往里面倒水，让我明白了一个道理，原来装满沙子的瓶子里

面，还可以加好多好多水，这是因为沙子与沙子之间有空隙，沙子还可以吸水。

晚上我和哥哥在街上一起看月亮，月亮好圆啊，就像我们吃的月饼，好漂亮，多么有意思的中秋节!

Mid-Autumn festival is our traditional festival, from ancient to present, the Mid-Autumn festival means "league member" and "happiness". Relatives in other countries are rushing home to get together and enjoy the beautiful festival together.

I think the meaning of Mid-Autumn festival is this!

I hope that every year the Mid-Autumn festival can be spent with my family. The people who are thankful for their parents can feel the beauty and warmth of the Mid-Autumn festival!

中国是一个有着悠久文化的国家，传统节日更是数不胜数，但我最喜欢的是春节。

每逢正月初一就是中国一年一度的春节了。

看，这不已经到了吗？在这一天，一家人团团圆圆。还要请自己的亲属到家里来或者自己去亲属家里拜年。吃饭的时候到了，这时你会发现餐桌上根式不一样。饺子、汤圆、鱼呀、肉呀摆满了整张桌子。顿时你会食欲大增。一家人在一起，热热闹闹可幸福啦！吃完饭后就是重点项目了：放爆竹和烟花。听，爆竹那响亮的爆炸声，是多么的震耳欲聋！我情不自禁地捂上了耳朵。

听说，爆竹的又来是这样的：

古时候有一种怪物叫做“年”。他不怕火也不怕人类，专门干坏事人们对它没有任何的办法。后来，人们发现珠子爆裂声音很响，能吓跑年兽，在竹子里放上火药威力更大，声音更响。从此这个习俗就流下来了。

瞧，在那又黑又神秘的星空上，一朵朵五颜六色的花朵，美丽的开放了。那就是礼花点缀着星空使得星空更加美丽。

在这个愉快的节日里，有家人的陪伴，有丰盛的晚餐，有美丽的烟花，你怎么会不开心呢。我爱春节！

我的课余生活真是丰富多彩，有弹古筝，有练舞蹈，还有学英语……

我最喜欢的一门课就是英语课啦！每当到星期六晚上，我就会到小新星去学英语。记得第一次去上英语课，英语老师冯老师给我取了一个英文名，名叫tracy。

上课时，冯老师用玩游戏的方式让我们读单词、写句子，有趣极了！同学们都争先恐后地举手，想争夺第一。

一开始我还不会读句子，后来，经过冯老师的教导，我就慢慢地熟练起来了。就这样，过了一年，我的语音、语调已经模仿得很像了。

这件事情让我明白了一个道理——熟能生巧，熟了就自然而然会读了。我想：只要付出努力，就一定会有回报！

英语是我最喜欢的一门课！它不仅仅给我带来了好成绩，而且给我带来了学习中的快乐！我喜欢英语课！我爱英语！

中秋节始于唐朝初年，盛行于宋朝，至明清时，已成为与春节齐名的中国传统节日之一，是流行于中国众多民族与汉字文化圈诸国的传统文化节日，下面是小编为您带来的是中秋节英语作文素材相关内容，希望对您有所帮助。

Today is the annual mid autumn festival. In the evening, darkness began to fall. The little birds of the sky have long called back to their nests. The sunset faded away, and their eyes were gone. The black curtain covered the whole land. The moon has risen into the sky, trying to drive the darkness away.

"Wow, the moon is so round today."!" My brother suddenly shouted to me. I said: "how to make a fuss about it, Mid Autumn Festival, the moon is big and round."!" "Right enough!" Next to her sister went on to say. At this time, I found that the stars in the sky are extremely rare, is really bright ah!

Today evening dishes especially rich: sweet and sour fish, green asparagus soup boiled chicken ribs...... It really makes me look dizzy. When I had dinner, I felt very delicious and enjoyed it very much. Usually I have to eat more than half an hour for a meal. I eat very fast today. In less than ten minutes, I finished my meal. My father praised me for my fast food! I smiled and thought, "if every day the dishes are so good, then my meal will certainly eat every day quickly.". Today, there are so many people in our family that we really have a family reunion dinner.

After dinner, after some time, I went to the moon cake box open, and then give everyone a moon cake. They sat in the yard eating moon cakes and admiring the moon. I looked up at the golden yellow moon in the dark blue sky. I didnt want to mention how happy I was!

今天是一年一度的中秋节。傍晚，夜幕开始慢慢降临。天上的小鸟早就鸣叫着回了巢。晚霞也逐渐消失了，不见了它们的踪影。黑色的幕布笼罩了整个大地。月亮也已经升上了天空，竭力驱赶着黑暗。

“哇，今天的月亮好圆呀！”我身边的弟弟突然叫了起来。我说：“怎么大惊小怪，中秋节嘛，月亮当然又大又圆！”“果然如此啊！”旁边的妹妹接着说。这时，我发现天空中的星星特别少，真是月明星稀呀！

今天晚上的小菜特别丰盛：有糖醋鱼、排骨绿笋汤，白斩鸡……真是让我看得眼花缭乱。吃饭的时候，我觉得特别好吃，吃得津津有味。平时，一顿饭我要吃半个多小时，今天我吃得特别快。不到十分钟，我就吃完了饭。爸爸夸我吃得快！我笑了，心想如果每一天的小菜都这样好，那我的饭一定会天天吃得快。今天，我们家里到的人也特别多，真的是吃了一餐团圆饭。

吃完饭，过了一些时间，我去把月饼盒子打开，然后分给每一个人一个月饼。大家坐在院子里一边吃着月饼，一边欣赏月亮。我抬起头看着深蓝色的天空中那一轮金黄色的圆月，心里别提有多高兴了！

My Favourite Festival

My favoruite festival is Mid-Autumn Festival. On that day, I can get moon cakes, fruit and many other delicious foods. The moon cakes are round like the moon. They are delicious. They are different inside. On Mid-Autumn Festival I see my elder brother back from work. We get together. We talk and watch the moon! How happy we are!

盼望已久的中秋节终于来临了。我爱中秋节，因为每当过中秋节家里人都会热热闹闹团聚在一起，也会有很多美食，所以对于我这小吃货来说是再好不过了，但是我最喜欢的还是香甜可口的月饼。

月饼的香味，一闻，就“口水直流三千尺”了。记得去年中秋节，家里人都在楼上赏月，我像只老鼠似的溜进客厅，偷偷拿了四个我最喜欢的蛋黄小月饼，三下五除二，就把它们塞进了我的肚子里，好像还没吃过瘾。准备再拿时，妈妈走了下来，她看到少了一半的月饼，笑着问：“宾宾，是你偷吃了吗?”我心里一慌，摇摇头。妈妈伸手擦了擦我的嘴巴。“你看还有月饼渣，好吃鬼!，吃多了会不消化的。”

糟糕，被识破了，三十六计走为上计，溜到门口，拍拍肚皮，我深呼了口气。哎，月饼好吃可不能贪吃呀，而妈妈则在一旁乐得直不起腰来。

我爱中秋节，爱吃香甜可口的月饼，爱月饼里那份幸福的味道。

中国的节日不仅有趣有意义，还成就了许多流传千古的华美诗篇。“遥知兄弟登高处，遍插茱萸少一人”，“但愿人长久，千里共婵娟”，“爆竹声中一岁除，春风送暖入屠苏”，太多诗人把自己的千丝万缕化作一片片朗朗上口的诗篇。

我对中国的节日，却有我自己的见解。

我爱我们的节日，因为节日的传说打动了我。端午节，爱国忠良屈原远怀抱负却不得施展，眼看自己的国家毁在奸臣手中，含泪自尽。重阳节，相传一位君主在战事中跋山涉水，不畏艰险，打动了神仙得到了宝剑，打死了妖魔，让天下一片昌盛。我认为，每一个节日的传说中，都有一位正义的英雄，所以每一个节日，不仅仅代表着一个庆祝的仪式，更代表着正义的精神的化身。

我爱我们的节日，因为节日的习俗吸引了我。端午节要赛龙舟吃粽子；中秋节要合家团圆，赏月亮吃月饼；重阳节要插茱萸爬高山；鬼节晚上不能出门不能穿黑衣服；春节要吃饺子收红包看春晚……太多太多有趣的习俗，都是我们自己国家历代传承的呀！这些习俗饱含了浓浓的节日气息，更包含了人们满满的祝福与喜悦。

我爱我们的节日，因为人们之间的亲情温暖了我。在那满满的圆月下，有多少人在那清冷的月光下仰望，享受着“千里共婵娟”带给他们的小小温暖,他们的眼神是那样的期望，仿佛要望到天空的心里去；春节那团圆的饭桌上，实在没有比团圆更美味的佳肴了,浓浓的菜香拌上暖暖的情意,令人的心暖得都化了，融化到心里，也依然是最甜的。

屈原已离去，却留给世人一个永远留在心头的悲伤，让人反思，在那茫茫的海中，他也会守护着每一个，当他每年吃下“粽子”的时候，当他看见一艘艘龙舟驶过时传来的带着笑的击鼓声的时候，太会欣慰的吧。

许多人都爱过洋节，可千万别疏忽了自己国家的节日啊。一个节日，不仅仅是一种仪式，不仅仅是一种习俗，更是美好的象征，亲情的寄托与喜悦的使者。让我们一起守护他们，相信他们也会守护我们的，带上我们对未来的憧憬，一直守护着每一个善良的人们。炎黄子孙代代流传的节日，我们要喜爱，要吸收，更要尊重。

我心中爱的节日，就是能够守护珍惜的人永远幸福的节日。

我喜欢很多节日，例如：元宵节、国庆节、圣诞节、儿童节、春节、中秋节……其中我最喜欢的是中秋节。

中秋节是我国的传统节日，它起源起唐朝事情，那时以赏月为中心，中秋节的晚上，我们全家人坐在庭院里，在月光的照耀下我们一家人有说有笑。

晚上，我趴在妈妈的大腿上，妈妈给我讲“嫦娥奔月”的故事。我越听越想赶快飞上天空去找嫦娥姐姐，跟她一起玩，跟她一起去观赏天空的美景。越听越开心。

听完妈妈给我讲得“嫦娥奔月”这个故事，我突然想起苏轼写的《水调歌头》：人有悲欢离合，月有阴晴圆缺，此事古难全。但愿人长久，千里共婵娟。我想诗人写这首诗想要每个家庭团团圆圆。xiaoxue123.com

月饼象征着团圆，是中秋祭月和拜土地公的必备祭品，虽说那天的月亮是那么圆，但也蛮美的。我喜欢这个与月亮共伴的中秋节。

When the traditional festival comes, everybody is excited about it, because

they will have holiday to relax. The meaning of these festivals is remembered by

the old generation all the time, while some young people do not know. So when we

enjoy the holiday, we need to know more about the traditional culture.

A foreign girl shot a video to ask Chinese young people something about

Mid-autumn festival. To everybody’s surprise, a lot of them did not know the

story about this big day. When I was very small, I have watched many TV series

telling about the myth of Hou Yi and his wife. I learned many Chinese myths and

legends from the shows. Though some people enjoy the festival, they should learn

the culture.

With the development of Chinese economic power, more and more foreigners

are interested in learning Chinese. Some are very crazy about the traditional

culture. They study famous great old poems and novels, treating the great

characters as idols.

The traditional festival is the important way to preserve our culture,

which is the great treasure of human being. We are so proud of it, because it is

priceless.

农历八月十五日，是我国传统的中秋节，也是我国仅次于春节的第二大传统节日。八月十五恰在秋季的中间，故谓之中秋节。我国古历法把处在秋季中间的八月，称谓“仲秋”，所以中秋节又叫“仲秋节”。

中秋节是个古老的节日，祭月赏月是节日的重要习俗。古代帝王有春天祭日，秋天祭月的社制，民家也有中秋祭月之风，到了后来赏月重于祭月，严肃的祭祀变成了轻松的欢娱。中秋赏月的风俗在唐代极盛，每当中秋月亮升起，于露天设案，将月饼、石榴、枣子等瓜果供于桌案上，拜月后，全家人围桌而坐，边吃边谈，共赏明月……

我喜欢这中秋月夜。特别是姥姥家的中秋夜，姥姥会做一桌丰盛的佳肴，而桌子正中央摆放的一定是姥姥亲自做的月饼。说起姥姥蒸的月饼，那简直就是件艺术品，圆圆的月饼就像姥姥家的小盆那么大，月饼周围是一圈精致的小花边，月饼中央是一个圆套一个圆，象征着我们一大家团团圆圆，月饼里姥姥包着我最爱吃的芝麻，红枣，花生，杏仁……咬上一口。柔软可口，好香，好甜。每到中秋总是和哥哥抢着吃，姥姥，姥爷一旁看着我和哥哥，一个劲的乐。

中秋节又是丰收的节日。在这个丰收的季节，人们总是大事庆祝一番。中秋夜，除了拜祭、还有那美丽的神话传说。坐在石榴树下听姥姥讲月亮宫嫦娥仙子的故事，是我和哥哥最喜欢的事情。还有那颗桂花树，吴刚酿的桂花酒，不知道那只玉兔今晚会不会吃月饼，有没有喝桂花酒，会不会也醉了呢?

圆月中秋，临风赏月，对酒当歌，或像唐诗一样豪放飘逸，或像宋词一样婉约凄美。明净的月，携着亘古不变的眷恋，高悬于浅蓝的苍穹之上，温馨而祥和。中秋佳节，一家老小啃着可口的月饼。嘴里那份酽酽的香味，浸润着每一个幸福宁静的日子。中秋佳节家家户户来说来必须是一个隆重对待的节日。一家人团聚，尽享天伦之乐，其乐融融，中秋注定是要深情浓厚与融融的温暖。

北宋大诗人、词人、文学家苏轼就在这传统佳节，吟出了脍炙人口的千古名句：“但愿人长久，千里共婵娟”。被称为“诗仙”的唐代大诗人李白也曾以“举头望明月，低头思故乡”的佳句表达中秋之夜的思乡情怀。古今中外，多少文人学子在这美好的日子里，思念着亲人、思念着家乡，挂念着祖国;更有多少有志之士，在这美好的日子里，为了祖国的明天，为了人民的利益，放弃了与亲人团圆的机会，在自己的岗位上默默奉献着……

又是中秋月圆时，我祈望我的亲人朋友愈加健康，祝愿我的家乡愈加美丽，富饶。希望我的祖国更加繁荣，昌盛。愿天下仰首满目是青光，低头歌舞共婵娟!

In China, Mid-autumn Day is considered to be a symbol of family reunion. On this day, all the family members gather together at home to celebrate this special occasion. Last year, I could not celebrate the festival with my family because I was in university. However, this special day left a deep impression on me.

I still remember the atmosphere of that evening. All the students who could not go back home assembled in our classroom, having a party to celebrate this traditional festival. We tried our best to show our own enthusiasm. As an ethnic minority, I performed a peacock dance, which received warm applause. After the two-hour party, we went out to the playground and sat together to appreciate the moon because it is a tradition on Mid-autumn Day. We ate moon cakes, played cards, and listened to romantic poems recited by one of our classmates. In that harmonious atmosphere, nobody felt lonely or homesick even though we were far away from our homes.

Thanks to our classmates, I experienced such a colorful and interesting Mid-autumn Day at my university. Thus, I learned to value all the festivals I spent during my university life.

【参考译文】

在中国，中秋节是家人团圆的象征。在这一天，所有的家庭成员聚集在家里庆祝这个特殊的日子。去年，我不能和家人一起庆祝这个节日，因为我在大学里。然而，这个特殊的日子给我留下了深刻的印象。

我仍然记得那晚的气氛。所有不能回家的学生都聚集在我们的教室里，举行晚会来庆祝这个传统节日。我们尽力展示自己的热情。作为少数民族，我表演了孔雀舞，受到热烈的掌声。在两个小时的聚会之后，我们去了操场，坐在一起欣赏月亮，因为这是中秋节的传统。我们吃月饼，打牌，听浪漫诗朗诵我们的一个同学。在和谐的气氛中，没有人感到孤独或想家，即使我们远离家园。

多亏了我们的同学，我在大学里度过了这样一个丰富多彩的中秋节。因此，我学会了珍惜我在大学期间度过的所有节日。

TheDragonBoatFestivalis a lunar (阴历)holiday， occurring (存正)on the fifth day of the fifth lunar month (农历史五月第五天) The Chinese Dragon Boat Festival is a significant (有意义的)holiday celebrated (庆祝)in China，and the one with the longest history (历史最悠久)。 The Dragon Boat Festival is celebrated by boat races (龙舟赛) in the shape of dragons. Competing teams (竞争团队) row their boats forward to a drumbeat (击古)racing to reach the finish end first. The boat races during the Dragon Boat Festival are traditional customs(传统习俗)to attempts to (试图)rescue (搭救) the patriotic poet (爱国诗人)Chu Yuan. Chu Yuan drowned (溺死) on the fifth day of the fifth lunar month in 277 B.C. Chinese citizens now throw bamboo leaves (竹叶) filled with cooked rice into the water. Therefore the fish could eat the rice rather than the hero poet. This later on turned into the custom

of eating tzungtzu and rice dumplings(棕子)。 The celebration is a time for protection (防护) from evil(邪恶)and disease (疾病) for the rest of the year. It is done so by different practices such as hanging healthy herbs on the front door， drinking nutritious concoctions (营养品)， and displaying (展示) portraits (画像) of evils nemesis(邪恶报应)，Chung Kuei. If one manages to (成功做„„) stand (直立)an egg on its end at exactly 12：00 noon， the following year will be a lucky one.

The joyous Mid-Autumn Festival was celebrated on the fifteenth day of the

eighth moon, around the time of the autumn equinox(秋分). Many referred to it

simply as the "Fifteenth of the Eighth Moon".

This day was also considered as a harvest festival since fruits, vegetables

and grain had been harvested by this time and food was abundant. Food offerings

were placed on an altar set up in the courtyard. Apples, pears, peaches, grapes,

pomegranates(石榴), melons, oranges and pomelos(柚子) might be seen. Special foods

for the festival included moon cakes, cooked taro(芋头)and water caltrope(菱角), a

type of water chestnut resembling black buffalo horns. Some people insisted that

cooked taro be included because at the time of creation, taro was the first food

discovered at night in the moonlight. Of all these foods, it could not be

omitted from the Mid-Autumn Festival.

It is known to all that China has the history of more than 5,000 years and

the culture influences generations. No matter where people live, they keep the

traditional festivals. Such as the people who live in Chinatown. Though some of

them have been immigrants, they still celebrate the traditional festivals. So in

every corner of Chinatown, the Chinese traditional features can be seen

everywhere. The preservation of the traditional culture is the key to help the

country live so long. After the long period of time, the essence of the culture

part have been inherited while the negative part has been removed. Many culture

even influences the foreign country, such as Confucius Institution, where

foreigners learn Chinese culture and mandarin. Though we are facing the impact

of Hollywood culture, the traditional festivals provides an important way to

save local culture.

The Mid-Autumn or Moon Festival is one rich in poetic(诗意的) significance. Ancient legends(古代的传说) that became interwoven with this festival‘s celebration further contribute to the warm regard in which it has always been held by the Chinese people. According to the lunar calendar(农历)， the seventh， eighth， and ninth months constitute the autumn season. Mid-Autumn Festival falls on the 15th day of the eighth lunar month， precisely in the middle of this season， when the heat of the summer has given way to cool autumn weather， marked by blue skies and gentle breezes. On this day the moon is at its greatest distance from the earth; at no other time is it so luminous. Then， as the Chinese say， “The moon is perfectly round.” In the villages the heavy work involved in the summer harvest has already been completed but the autumn harvest has not yet arrived.

The actual origins of the Mid-Autumn Festival are still very unclear. The earliest records are from the time of the great Han dynasty emperor Wu Di， who initiated celebrations lasting three days， including banquets and “Viewing the Moon” evenings on the Toad Terrace. We know that people during the Jin dynasty (265-420 A.D.) continued the custom of Mid-Autumn Festival celebrations， and similar accounts have come down to us from the time of the Tang dynasty. During the Ming dynasty (1368-1644) houses and gardens were decorated with numerous lanterns and the sound of gongs and drums filled the air.

Mid-autumn Festival is a popular and important lunar harvest festival celebrated by Chinese people. The festival is held on the 15th day of the eighth month in the Chinese calendar. There are some traditions in this holiday. For example, people would have a big dinner with there families. After dinner, they often enjoy the full moon which is round and bright. The other tradition of mid-autumn festival is eating moon cake. Moon cake is the essential of that day, which means reunion. As time goes by, there are various kinds of moon cakes, but they are much more expensive than before. I like mid-autumn festival because my families will get together and have a big dinner on that day.

八月十五是中秋节，所以被称为中秋和仲秋，因中秋的月亮比平时都圆，所以又叫月夕节，在八月十五的几天，人们都会与家人团聚，所以又叫团圆节。

在中秋节这一天，我望着天空发呆，耐心的等待着月亮的到来。可等了大半会儿，仍没出来。我不耐烦了，刚要离去，月亮冉冉升起，我不禁赞道太美了!我一边看着盼望已久的月亮，一边吃着月饼

。这时，爸爸给我讲起嫦娥奔月的故事，我又和姐姐玩起了猜字谜游戏。我津津有味地吃着美味的月饼，有五仁的，豆沙的芙蓉的。玩了很长时间，我们早已疲惫不堪，只好向月亮说声再见，然后依依不舍的睡觉去了。

我永远也不会忘记这次难忘的中秋节!
