5篇关于中国文化的英语作文带译文【精选20篇】

近日，某意大利知名奢侈品牌创始人，在互联网上发表了对中国筷子、中华文化的不当言论。这一举动，引起了广大中国人民群众的强烈不满。而我们想告诉他们：中国筷子是中华民族文化的结晶！

该品牌拍摄了，一个华裔女模特用中国筷子吃披萨的视频。视频中夹杂着中式发音，傲慢的语气，以及各种奇怪的姿势。这无疑是对中国文化的丑化！中华文化博大精深，源远流长，它具有它独特的魅力！

基于无知而建立起来的偏见是多么的愚蠢。

筷子，是中华文化上下五千年文明的产物。筷子，是中国独特的进食工具。秦汉时期称为“箸”与“住”同音，人们怕行船搁浅，变改“箸”为“快儿”，希望船行的快，一帆风顺，以图个吉利。汉代筷子又称为“挟提”，意为挟住再提起之意，这就十分形象地道出了筷子的实用功能。再后来，由于筷子制作的材料多是竹子，因此在“快”字头上加上“竹”字头。这就成了今天的“筷”字了。

筷子，是中华民族智慧的代表。筷子多七寸六分长，代表着人有“七情六欲”，是不同于一般动物的情感动物。因此，吃饭时也时时提醒人们要节制不当欲望。筷子圆的一头象征天，方的一头象征地，表示着“天圆地方”，这是中国人对世界基本原则的理解。此外，手持筷子时，拇指在上，无名指小指在下，中指在中间，是为“天地人”三才之象征，这是中国人对世界的关系的朴素理解。筷子成双出现，与太极阴阳理念相符，代表着万事万物都有两个对立面组成。一双双筷子凝结了多少先祖的智慧，也是对后人的教育。是具有博大精深的中华文化。

筷子，是中华民族精神的映射。在小时候，长辈用筷子喂我们吃饭，那是启迪；小时候，长辈教我们使用筷子时说“我们是中国人，必须会用筷子”时，那是传承；在外拼搏回家，一桌家常饭，挟起的是长辈对晚辈的关爱；身在异国，每逢节日对先祖的祭拜，那是对国家，家人的思念；“多个人多双筷子”。一双双筷子挟起的是温暖人心的人间烟火。是逢年过节，吃团圆饭的中国心。一双筷子，蕴含了“启迪、传承、明礼、关爱、思念、睦邻，团结……”。承载的是中华源远流长的文华。

一双筷子承载了多少中华文化。筷子代表的，不仅仅是吃饭的工具。外国人总是用自己狭隘的眼光去臆想他们认为的事，极其的自傲无知。不妨挟起一双木筷，从胃开始，读懂中华！

面对西方，西化、分化的图谋，我们应该时刻谨记“我们是中国人”，有着“自信力”，而不是“他信力”。应有我们华夏炎黄子孙该有的魄力，时刻怀揣一颗中国心！

一双筷子，承载着中华千年文明。有滋有味，有中国味。

你见过五千年前的城池吗?想了解先民们的生活吗?希望感受“阡陌交通，鸡犬相闻”的桃花源吗?这个国庆节我又来到了杭州良渚古城遗址公园，这是一个美丽、神奇的地方。

曾经的农田，如今已是世界级文化遗产。金秋时节，远远望去，青色的水稻田里坠着着金黄的穗子。遗址被稻田和池塘环绕着，小桥流水茅屋点缀在相互交错的小路上。“良渚遗址是实证中华五千年文明史的圣地，是不可多得的珍贵财富……”

在大门口坐上电动观光车，你便踏入了这座中华第一城。窗外闪过一道道景点：大莫角山、池中寺粮仓、西城墙遗址……一组组先民们劳作的雕像掩映在河流溪畔中，显得栩栩如生。瞧!鸟儿们正在鹿苑旁悠闲地踱着步子呢!各种植物郁郁葱葱，山坡上开着繁盛的花，远远望过去，像一片紫雾。

登上30多米高的雉山观景台，可以看到良渚古城的核心区域。莫角山遗址是最高统治者居住的宫殿。最令人惊叹的是反山王陵。这是一处人工堆筑的长方形土台，位于莫角山宫殿的西侧。它是良渚古城区域内最高的墓地，从墓地的选址、设计、营建可看出反山墓地特殊的地位。目前已发现十几座墓葬，出土了玉、石、陶、象牙、嵌玉漆器等珍贵文物1200余件。这些随葬品数量之多、规格之高、制作之精，是其他良渚文化遗址所未见的。是迄今为止等级最高的良渚文化墓地。

最厉害的文物就是玉琮王了，它重达6.5公斤，上面刻有精致的神人兽面图腾。内圆外方的形状是先民们智慧的结晶。

从遗址可以感受到当年恢弘的王宫和依水而居的草房子。这就是江南的原样吧。这里还有世界上最早的防洪水坝。在2019年7月6日，中国的“良渚古城遗址”入选世界遗产名录!在这里，你还可以看到良渚古城遗址的申遗之路展览。

还可以戴上眼罩，用5G技术立体感受一下五千年前先民们的生活——他们在这里繁衍生息，用智慧和双手创造了“良渚文明”。

几只白鹭从头顶飞过，这是秋天写给遗址公园最美的诗歌吧!听说这里还藏着很多的秘密。国庆期间，附近新发掘的瑶山遗址公园也已经开放了，怎么样大美杭州，古城良渚，是不是值得大家去探索呢!

孔子曰：“不学礼，无以立”，意思是：没有文明礼仪，是不能在社会及家庭立足的。文明礼仪是人们在生活中养成的一种习惯。对一个人来说，礼仪是思想道德水平、文化修养、知识水平的外表；可对祖国来说，礼仪却是生活习惯，品德的反映。

文明礼仪是中国人传统的高尚品德，古代也有很多故事讲述着文明，礼仪的高尚。古代东汉末年的时候，有一家的父亲买了一些梨子，到家后，父亲特地选了一个最大的梨子给孔融，可孔融却摇摇头说：“我是最小的，所以应该吃最小的梨，大的梨子应该给哥哥吃。”父亲听到后感到非常惊讶，小小年纪的孔融竟然懂得谦让。这个“孔融让梨”的故事告诉我们做人应该懂得谦让别人，文明礼仪应从小做起。尊重别人，等于尊重自己，谁又不想尊重自己呢？所以要先尊重别人。要学会在学校尊重班主任、在家中尊重长辈、在工作中尊重上司、在社会中尊重人民、就一定会成功的。

在日常生活中，礼仪也是无处不在的，有很多的榜样值得我们学习。文明礼仪不仅仅指的是行为，还有仪态、语言、神态，这都是表现个人礼貌的一部分。在生活中，有许多举手之劳都是养成文明的习惯：捡起一张不起眼的纸屑、随手关灯、不践踏草地、遵守交通规则、见到班主任，熟人说声好或给个微笑……都是文明礼仪的表现。也要时刻注意自己的语言，在请别人帮忙的时候加个“请”字，事后说声“谢谢”，都会让别人觉得很有礼貌和文明，别人就会觉得是个值得交的好朋友，简简单单的三个字，就给别人留了好印象，难道不好吗？

从 这个角度讲，屈原应该向比他年长210岁的“至圣先师”孔子学习。当年孔子周游列国不为重用，或者被供而不用，也曾郁闷过，但他看清了现实的无奈，并不过 多怨天尤人，只轻轻地一声叹息后，便一头扎进典籍诗书中，梳理上古时期的经典思想，集成和开创了博大精深的儒学思想。孔子的思想如一轮明月，映照人类文明 的长河2500多年。人类文明史上影响时间之长远、影响力之深刻、影响范围之广的思想家，唯孔子为最，他在奠定历史文化高度的同时，成就了自身的精神高 度，后世无以企及。苍天有眼，巨擘如风，总是在重重关上一扇门的时候，为你轻轻推开一叶窗。只是屈原没听到风吹窗启的吱呀声儿罢了。其实，人生原本就是多元、多彩的。

屈原的刚和孔子的柔，都是民族的骨骼，都是民族的性格，共同构成中国传统文化的精神巨雕和英雄史诗。

之所以感谢司马迁，是因为他敢于真实客观地评价屈原。像屈原这样一位不得志的贬官，在当朝的史官笔下是很难有真相可言的，如同对中国历史上许许多多被始用终 弃的文臣武将的评价一样，历史是胜利者的历史。但是司马迁不同，他在屈原愤然投江150年后伫立汨罗江边凭吊先贤，那时的他只有20来岁，一样的满腹经 纶，一样的家国情怀，“余适长沙，观屈原所自沉渊，未尝不垂泪”。他高声诵读屈原的诗辞歌赋，志趣相投，英雄相惜，涕泪长流，所以他笔下的屈原才那么真 实、那么有神采。司马迁的垂泪，是屈原溅起的水珠，是接续古今情感的一脉清流，因为25年后的公元前99年，司马迁因“李陵事件”而触怒汉武帝，出于同样 的悲剧、同样的悲情，他发出了“人固有一死，或重于泰山，或轻于鸿毛”的慷慨悲歌。我想，司马迁把屈原的死应该看得很重，而把自己看得很轻，因为他要着书 立说，留住历史，记录包括屈原在内的悲剧英雄。从这个意义上说，屈原还应该向比他小210岁的司马迁学习。孔子、屈原、司马迁，各有志向，都是中国精神的骨骼。

挡车螳臂也是英雄，以死抗争也是战斗。水柱擎天，英气断流，屈原用生命在中国的历史长河上，矗立起一尊令后人仰望千年万年的丰碑。

仰望是需要载体的。文化的盛宴无须山珍海味，一枚粽子足够，加上驱邪的雄黄酒、奋进的龙舟队，更好。棱角分明，粽叶幽香，年年端午，款款深情，咀嚼和回味的 是一种精神。有意思的是，中国人选择了在孔子的诞辰纪念日祭孔，亦选择了以屈原的忌日为节日，从此，中华民族的文脉里，弥漫了一种淡淡的忧思，以及绵绵的诗意。

Like tangible cultural heritages such as the Great Wall and the Forbidden

City, intangible cultural heritages like Peking Opera and

Confucius-commemorating rituals are equally crucial. We should make our utmost

efforts to preserve intangible heritages because, without their physical form of

existence, they are in greater risk of extinction.

According to UNESCO’s Convention for the Safeguarding of Intangible

Cultural Heritage (2003), all forms of social customs and habits, folklore,

performing arts, rituals, oral traditions, festivals, traditional crafts and

various knowledge and practices about nature and universe can be classified as

intangible cultural heritages. As a country consisting of a great diversity of

ethnic groups and with time-honored history and civilization, China abounds in

intangible cultural heritages. Cultural heritages connect modern people with the

historical past, allowing them to acquire a cultural and historical identity.

Without cultural heritages, we would be rendered absolutely rootless and we

would find it hard to cope with challenges at present and in the future.

However, the modernization process poses mounting threats to intangible

heritages. Many people have a blind faith in the latest electronic devices. It

is also pathetic to see elderly people in possession of such legacies pass away

without transmitting them to the younger generation. Faced with those

challenges, we should both preserve and renovate our ancestral heritages so that

we can help contribute to the cultural diversity of the world and return to our

spiritual homeland in this age of impersonal science and technology.

细细的品味，觉得很有意思。戏说完皇帝就是格格热，时下又流行起了“夫子学”。不是吗？老子的哲学、孔子的心得、庄子的道，要不就是品三国、清代十二帝、就一个张生和崔莺莺就讲了好多天，又是李白又是杜甫，反正很热闹。中国的文化是璀璨的，历史是辉煌的，以史鉴今不旦中国人外国人也懂，要不孙子兵法也走不出国门，这无可厚非。但细想起来又觉得中国人怎么就这么爱“一窝蜂”呢，一个人鼻子出血仰天，过路的全围来向上看，这岂是笑谈？

“中国的文化是向后看的”，这不是我说的，而且我也并不完全赞同，这是上个世纪初（确切说是1926年）美国学者奎德诺写的《观察中国》中的一句话（有识之士不防一阅）。后面好像还有句话：“中国的文化是向后看的，总是以旧的理论和言行来规范现代意识……”这个外国老头怕是早以做古了，我的感慨是一个外国人在那么一个年代说出的一句话却似乎成了一种定律，果真言中了？细想想又何尝不是！！大到国家法律法规小到企事业单位的条令规定多如牛毛，可执行起来却如此之难，人们却津津乐道于几位学者关于古圣先贤的“传说”。（历史只有当时当事当人才是最真实的，我敢说这是真理，再挖空心思的佐证也有“杜撰”或说臆断的成份，而且有些偏得太远，以至于误人子弟，说传说过重所以加了引号，又何尝不是传说？）

诸子百家的言论与思想有它的优秀之处这是妇孺皆知的事，弘扬历史文化，推崇精神典范亦无可毁议，但贵在理性与长久，如此热闹景象是否会昙花一现，尚不得而之。是中国人不愿创新？？一个城市复制着另一个城市（说在国内旅游就是在一个城市挣钱到另一个城市花，我看也不无道理。），一个品牌复制着一个品牌（怎么打都不灭），一个名星后面多少人模仿（而且还沾沾自喜）。中国人怎么了？中国文化怎么了？？我们的学者能不能多一些有益的研究探索，少一些哗众取宠；“僧敲月下门”，贾岛骑什么色的驴就不要研究了，难道这也是学术

这里我想做三点思考：

其一：中国的文化果真向后看？

我敢说有，而且比重还不小。国人一向把“引经据典”做为评价文章好坏的标准，似乎道理只有古人说的才对；教育孩子也总是“我们小时候”、看人家孩子；衡量社会进步也总爱提及过去“到月拿钱，大家一样”，“路不拾遗，夜不闭户”。向后看不是错，但主要是如何立足现在，反思过去，开创未来，落脚点是现在而不是过去。“百姓是墙头草，那边风来那边倒”，这话不对，但百姓的思想确实需要引领，忽冷忽热，“文化的发烧”同样会引起“思想上的感冒”，于是没了主流少了前沿，“一窝蜂”，“一锅煮”，乱哄哄，你方唱罢我登场，一个清朝的历史张三说李四编王五演，都说是史实，可到底谁说的对却搞不清——可怜我们的孩子！！

其二：为什么向后看？向后看的成份肯定有，那么就应该问问为什么喜欢向后看。也是啊，拿仕途说，当中国的官先要能说，再次能写，最后还要能协调，这才叫人才。能说：说什么？说今天的人和事都在不好说，说明天的太远太空，那还是说过去的，过去的人肯定有，事肯定有，而且大家都知道，好说，更重要的是过去的已经过去了，说多说少，说真说假，没人也没功夫拷问；能写：汉字得多认点、古诗词要懂点、好文章要会背点，要是有好文章借鉴一下就更完美了，于是“天下文章一大抄，看你会抄不会抄”；协调是个大事：要会说话，要猫得下腰，说白了得能当孙子，于是这经验可就重要了，君不见狼文化与厚黑学曾大行其道，夫子学眼下正流行，国人嘲笑东施已是几千年的事了，但仍然是五十步笑百步，可叹耶，可悲耶！！

其三：能不能理性的向后看？

能！中国人向来是哲学的，那么早就知道“子在川上曰，逝者如斯夫”，就知道“白马非马”的诡辩，中国人重视如何做人，更重视文化，也许是太重视了才总是回头看。既然懂哲学就应该懂得一分为二。那么是让百姓自己一分为二还是由人来引领？这就是个问题了，我敢说要是没个头衔上台去讲一是没人听二也是你也上不去台，为什么？因为中国人信奉“来头”，什么领导，什么学者，什么教授，什么知名作家，我想问问有几个是他们自己的专业？是不是也有“搞导弹的买茶蛋”的嫌疑？我向来以为术业有专攻，业精于勤精于专，种别人的地扔了自己的田（自己的田不产粮了？）。按我的学识说人家浅尝辄止有点过，但漏洞百出、疑窦丛生确实不少。依我看学术上的东西最好还是“买啥吆喝啥”，前几年看过一本吉林大学博导金景芳教授和另外两个人合著的《孔子新传》，金老师是中国孔学会的原会长，写这样的书可谓没门当户对，而且我觉得这是一本对孔子研究非常深透的好书。所以文化是不是应该向后看，关键在于如何去粗取精、一分为二，如何坚持长久。仅此而已，另外这里所说的“中国人”是一部分或说是少部分，非统计概念。

[向后看中国文化作文

肯定有人想问我什么是“为中国文化出一份力”，我可以肯定地告诉你中国文化是以德、谦、虚和宽容这四大类为主，这时肯定又有人要问什么是德、谦、虚和宽容，我的回答是：德也就是道德，德这个字在古代随处可见，在古代我们的祖先孔子教导我们要“仁”，“爱人”等思想主义，到现在孔子的思想对中国文化有很大的影响。你想连古代都为中国文化做出了一份力，现代的我们是不是也要出一份力呢！做一个有道德的人，这是我们每一个人一生的课程。

谦就是谦让，俗话说：“退一步海阔天空”。从这句话体现出谦让是遇到困难是的灵丹妙药，使一切仇恨化为乌有，谦让是一种深厚涵养，它能陶冶情操，带给你心灵的宁静。曾经，在战国时期，有一个故事我想大家都听过就是廉颇和蔺相如的故事……

虚就是谦虚大家都知道的，我就不罗嗦了，总之，人应该端正态度，完善自己，为中国文化出一份力！

China, once a state of ceremonies.Five thousand years of civilization, let us be proud of it.However, todays China, these four words can play from a state of ceremonies?

In September 7th this year, Sichuan airlines from Saipan flight to Shanghai, because the two men Chinese melee, resulting in two friends to join the ranks of the fight, seriously disrupting the order of flight.Coincidentally, a few days after the incident, the flight from Zurich to Beijing of the Swiss Air, and two passengers in China clashes occurred, forced the plane to return to flight after six hours, has brought the enormous economic loss and inconvenience to other passengers and airlines.

Whats the cause of the conflict?Only because of the back of the chair.It is precisely because the reasons are too simple, it makes people feel incredible.A small problem can lead to a world media brawl, and many people will not be happy to accept it.Whats wrong with Chinese people?Step back a true humility as boundless as the sea and sky, it is so difficult to do?Isnt it a shame for all Chinese people to have two similar incidents in a week?This country could not match on a state of ceremonies?

For the disabled, also is one of the basic etiquette, but now, who can do these increasingly reduced.See the old man fell and stand for fear of blackmail, in order to comfort their reluctance to give up their seats for disabled people, even lose the courage to scold the thief.This country could not match on a state of ceremonies?

Behind these gloomy negative news, there are still many touching stories.The most beautiful teacher in Zhang Lili, who died when he was in order to protect the students, grinding wheels to the legs; the most beautiful driver Wu Bin, in the high-speed flying foreign body was shot in the abdomen after completion of a series of safety measures in pain, ensure all the safety of passengers, they lost the life of these people tears trickling down cheeks deeds, it is a state of ceremonies should appear.

The difference between chinese and western culture

With the rapidly challging word, people throughout the world have found it increasingly necessary to minimize the rate of misunderstanding due to miscommunication in their contacts with another. In the oast most human beings were born, lived, and died within a limited geoographical area, never encountering people of other cultural backgrounds. It might be said that technological advances have been most effective in creating the borderless word, the global community. As our world shrinks and its inhabitants become interdependent, people from remot cultures increasingly come into contact on a daily basis. It is no longer hard to find situations in which membes of ince isolared groups of people. Now these people may live thousands of miles away or right next door to each other. So all the people are faced with the challenge of understand this world. So when the east meet west, there are many problems. Some problems are listed as follows.

First of all, the way of eating. All huaman beings have certain basic needs. Our fundamental needs for things that keep us alive. This is the physioligical need. All individuals must eat in order to survive. But what people eat, when they eat, and the manners in which they eat are all patterned by culture. No society views everything in its environment that is edible and might provide nurishment as food. Americans eat oysters but not snail. The French eat snails but not locusts. The Jews eat fish but not pork. The Hindus eat pork but not beef. The Russiand eat beef but not snake. We all have ideas about what kinds of food are good to eat. We also have ideas about what kinds of food are bad to eat. As a result, people from one culture often think the food that people from another culture eat are disgusting or nauseating. Dislike is not the only reason why some culture will not eat a certain food. In some clture, certain foods are taboo. Sometimes the food taboos may be so strong thrat just the thought of eating forbidden foods can cause an indivdual to feel ill. We can also find culture difference in way of bring up children treating the early, greeting each other, saying and spending money before other people do in everyday, but in some English-speaking countries, people do not agree with us. We chinese may enjoy something that is not usually consider as edible by the English-speaking people. Generally we perfer to have thing hot and much emphasis on the taste. We eat from one plate when we are eating with others, and we like to seat one by one, and in the shape of a round. On the opposite, some English-speaking contries, most of the people like to seat in two rows, two people face to face. They have their own plate. On the aspect of table manners, there are many differences between chinese and English-speaking people. For example, in some Englishi-speaking countries, Bread plates are to the left of the main plate, beverage glasses are to the right. Salad fork, knife and soup spoon are further from the

main plate than the main course knife, fork and spoon. When eating bread rolls, break off a piece before buttering. Use the knife only to butter the bread, not to cut it. They should not start eating before your host does or instructs to do so. At larger meals, it is considered okay to start eating once others have been served. When finished, place the knife and fork together at five o’clock with the fork on the left. It is considered rude to answer the telephone at the table. If need to take an urgent call, excuse self and go outside. Try to eat all the food you are served. But in China, the table manners are different. Chinese traditionally eat rice from a small bowl held in the left hand. The rice bowl is raised to the mouth and the rice pushed into the mouth using the chopsticks. Some Chinese find it offensive to scoop rice from the bowl using a spoon. If rice is served on a plate, as is more common in the West, it is acceptable and more practical to eat it with a fork or spoon. The thumb must always be above the edge of the bowl. The host should always make sure the guests drinks are sufficiently full. One should not pour for ones self, but should offer to pour for a neighbor. When your drink is being poured, you should say "thank you" and tap fingers on the table to show appreciation. When people wish to clink drinks together in the form of a cheer, it is important to observe that younger members should clink the edge of their drink below the edge of an elder to show respect.

Secondly, the way of communication. Form birth to death, communication plays an integral part in our life. There are some language problems, including the different styles of using language such as direct, indirect; expansive, succinct; argumentative, conciliatory; instrumental, harmonnizing; and so on. These different styles can lead to wrong interpretations of intent and evaluation of insincerity, aggreeiveness, deviousness, or arrogance, among other. The misinterpretation nonverbal signs and symbols such as gestures, postures, and other body movements. It is a definite communication barrier. But it is possible to learn the meanings of these observable message,usually in informal rather ways. It is more difficult to understand the less obvious unspoken codes of the other cultures. Language, as the carrier of culture, is created during the process of human beings’ productive labor and serves as the tool of communication to convey the message between people. However, it has been endowed with magic and power in particular language acts. As the old saying goes, troubles come out of the tongue. Superstitious people think that the language itself can bring about fortune or misfortune so that taboos to restrict the use of language are created. Anyone who violates them will get punishment, whereas those who faithfully obey the restrictions of language taboo will get protection. Furthermore, linguistic taboos change with the development of society .The paper firstly analyzes the evolution of linguistic taboo. It is indicated in the paper that linguistic taboo exists in almost every aspect of people’s life and is a universal social phenomenon in China and Britain. Both Chinese and

English cultures are in agreement about linguistic taboos such as pronunciation taboo, and vocabulary taboo. However, influenced by different cultural backgrounds, ideologies and the concepts of value, Chinese and English linguistic taboos also have differences, as is discussed in the paper from the aspects of taboo subjects, taboo numbers and names. At last, this paper puts forward two effective ways of avoiding taboo, that is, using euphemism and having a good knowledge of the taboo culture. And this discussion would help English learners improve their ability of cross-cultural communication and achieve better communicational effects. For example, During the feudal times, people were not equal to the rulers and were suppressed by their superiors. The distinction between the upper and the lower classes was also reflected in the evaluation of the language used by them respectively. The words of upper class used were considered good and elegant while those used by the lower class were regarded as vulgar and indecent and should be avoided in the speech of ladies and gentlemen. In modern society, as a result of the development of science and technology, many natural phenomena are no longer mysterious. Human beings not only constantly improve their abilities to exploit the world where they are living through their great wisdom and knowledge, but also make efforts to explore the extraterrestrial world. Science has much more say in today’s society. Thereby, the superstitious elements in linguistic taboos decrease while those reflecting spiritual civilization increase.

In short, by comparison, we can find that both Chinese and English communication reflect people’s psychology for good will, for safety and fortune and pleasantness. The Chinese and English people restrict their words and deeds through taboos, trying to keep a harmonious relationship between human and nature, or between people and society. They are a reflection of people’s pursuit of freedom and equality.

The most important, the different way of family structure, family values and family education. Family structure is the big difference between east and west, traditional chinese, amony many other Asians, repect their elders and feel a deep sense of duty toward them. Children repay their parents` sacrifices by being successful and supporting them in old age. This is accepted as a natural part of life in China. In contrast, taking care of aged parents is often viewed as a tremendous burden in the English-speaking countries, where aging and family support are not honored highly. In some English-speaking countries are still extrmely family-oriented. They are dedicated to helping their children and will sacrifice greatly for their children to get an edcuation. In turn, the children are devoted to their parents, who often live nearby. Grown children who go away and leave the country for the economic reasons typically send large parts of their salary home to their parents and the rest of the family. Or in some Asia, any decisions or actions are done from family consideration, not individual desires. Peope`s behavior is judged on whether it

brings shame or pride to the family. The children are trained to rely on their families, to honor elderly people, and to fear foreigners. And many of them think that their actions in this life will influence their status in the next life.

The way of family edcation is also the different. We all know the family education is the elementary education for children. Many serious problems have appeared in our education system in recent years. Almost everyone has realized the importance of solving these problems and many people have presented a lot of valuable suggestions. There are many types of family education in the world and each of them shows distinctive features and is closely responsive to its culture. And American family education is the most famous one among them. There are great differences in the concepts of education, methods of education and results of education between East family education and West family education. In some English-speaking countries, parents’ aims are to train their children to have the ability of adapting to environmental variety and the ability of living independently. Based on this concept, most American parents emphasize more to train their children’s ability of independence once they are born. They generally believe that children’s growth must rely on their own experiences, because they think that children should form a self-supporting will and the capacity to live independently since their childhood. And the capacity comes from the training in the early age. The so-called training contains many aspects, such as work, temper will, patience, the spirit of hard work, etc. However, the most fundamental training is the ability of adapting to hard conditions. Through the process of work, children will form the labor sense, learn some work skills and form a habit of labor. Besides, children can learn how to overcome difficulties, temper their willpower, develop their talents and skills, rich their knowledge, and form a habit of hard work and thrifty by working in hard conditions. It is just in the unconsciously process that children will obtain the independent survivability and take the responsibilities for the society. Compared with some English-speaking countries, Chinese parents have a very different concept of children’s education. Some parents in China only care about whether the children have a promising future, a good job, a good life or not. Based on these expectations, the majority of parents feel that their responsibility for their children is to create as good conditions as possible they can so that the children will not worry about anything in the future. Chinese parents would like to provide everything what they can for their children in the process of children’s growth. In short, they would like to sacrifice anything if their children can live better with their help. Therefore, in the process of children’s growth, the most important thing the parents concerning is to developing their children’s intellect, except for caring children’s daily life. In order to make their children have a good performance in study, become outstanding, or even become a famous person in the future, they would not let children do anything except studying. As for the children’s independence, civic awareness and their ability adapting to the

society in the future, they consider little or not at all. From these aspects we can find the obvious differences of family education between America and China.

When we faced with those difference between West and East, we should give some advice to solve these problems. According to the three big difference that pointed, we should find some way to deal with these problems.

We can study other languages and learn to expect in nonvwebal forms and other cultural aspects. We can train ourselves to meet intercultural encounters with more attention to situation details. We can use an investigative approach rather than stereotypes and preconceptions. We can gradually expose ourselves to differences so that they become less threatening. We can even learn to lower our tension level when needed to advoid triggering defensive reactions. The overall goal should be to achieve intercultural communication competence.

So the ideal solution to reduce the problems are to share knowledge with others in communication. This is why it is easiest to communicate with other members of the same group. This is why people so often gather together socially with others who are very much like them. Since intercultural communication is communication with members of different cultual groups, and therefore, because we do not share knowledge, assumptions, values, and forms of discourse with them, we must expect there to be problems of interpretation. We must look for these problems, anticipate where they will arise out of our differences, and then plan our aommunications to be as effective as possible.

However, we have to remember that, most of the time, the different ways that are the customs of dfferent cultures are neither right nor wrong. It is simply that different people do the same tings in different manners, even though we can not understand ,we should show the respect. I believe this is the best way to make our life become more comfortable and make the world more harmonious.

你给我一滴眼泪，我就看见你心中的全部海洋。

——题记

我说中国的文化一半是浸在海水中的，咸涩的焦灼，凄苦的迷离，构建了华夏的高阁。

回望历史，我们无法不直视那些才华横溢的诗人，无法躲避他们脸上长流的泪。那泪，是一种包含，包含了人生诸多的坎坷，包含了时代留下的痕迹，包含了中华文明蹒跚的脚步。

你看，李白总在哭，哭声中是他一醉千年的姿态；杜甫总在哭，哭声中是他渴望国强的期待；陆游总在哭，哭声中是他北国久失的无奈；李煜总在哭，哭声中是他渴望朱颜改的悲哀。泪，飘洒，你听，柳永在泪水里默念“执手相看泪眼，竟无语凝噎。”苏轼在泪中低吟“相顾无言，惟有泪千行。”泪，表达千种风情。

我听到阮藉呼号“天下无智者，使竖了成名”而穷途哭，那是魏纷乱的愤怒之泪，我听到李清照低吟“梧桐落，又还秋风又还寂寞”而双泪长流，那是南宋败落的无奈之泪。泪，记录了一个时代。

中国，也许正因为这些泪流满面的感伤文人，才有了它更为鲜活的生命力。而这些泪，又几经流传，流逝在后人的眼中。我们无法忘却这些感伤的文人，他们对人世的种种必然丢失不能对之坦然，对人世必有的缺憾总耿耿于怀，他们无法安宁于生活的定数，却既不能战胜世界又不能战胜自己，这样的现实于是只能由泪来承担。

是的，一个又一个，一代接一代，悄然而来，终于流下了风雨摇曳中的身影，流下了永不干涸的泪，而对无数的后人来说，则是流下了一个长久的永远的标志，一个属于东方的文化情结，一个不息地祈祷着昌盛的记忆。泪，于是成为烙印，镌刻着中华的文化；泪，于是折射着一种永恒的文化流转。

我总是这样想，在这个年代，我们不怕笑容的消亡，而是害怕在泪眼中无法了悟人生，了悟中国的文化。

原来，小小的一滴泪，却滋润了华夏五千年的文化。原来，小小的泪滴，我们看见过去和未来。

今年暑假，我把我的小伙伴一起游玩了慕名己久、保存最完好，规模最宏伟的古代园林——颐和园。

走进颐和园，第一眼看到的是弯弯曲曲的长廊：这世界最长的画廊，长达728米，一共有273间，每间上都有两条五彩的横槛，横槛上都画着形态合异的画，个个栩栩如生，内容丰富多彩。有民问传说，古典名著、神话故事。让我不禁惊叹古代工匠丰富的想象力和精赞的技艺!

沿着林间小路走，不一会就来到了万寿山，万寿山上一片翠绿，到处都是枝繁叶茂的大树，山脚下是一块块奇石，这块像乌龟，那块像云朵，真是美不胜收。爬上万寿山，站在山顶上，颐和园的秀丽的景色已全部映入眼帘，真有一种“会当凌绝顶，一览众山小“的感觉。那被层层金光闪闪的琉璃瓦屋顶覆盖的屋子，就是那著名的佛香阁。那一片片奢华的宫殿，就是排云殿。据说在晚清时代，慈禧太后还在排云殿住过呢!其中乐寿堂就是老佛爷的寝殿，在门口就能望见一个五彩的大吊灯，据说是从西洋进贡来的。颐和园里的奇珍异宝可多了!

下山时，在半山腰上，我们还看到了一棵高大的松树，好像一位住在山上的仙人在欢送我们。松树旁边，有一个作丽的凉亭，叫万寿亭。是用来乘凉的。路上还有几株高大的古树。它个个腰粗无比，要2—3个大人才能合抱，我和陈柯安手臂一起张开只能抱住在树的一半，古树像一把大伞似的，片片叶子翠色欲滴，躲在下面可阴凉了!

下了山，就来到了昆明湖。只见昆明湖一望无际，从上往下看有点像一个大寿桃。他湖水清澈，湖面上游船，画舫在慢慢地滑行，就像一幅美丽的画卷，湖中间有一个小岛，岛上一片郁郁葱葱。湖上还有座石桥，远远望去，十七孔桥是一座长150米的门孔联拱大石桥飞架在昆明湖上，这是乾隆派人仿著名的卢沟桥所建，桥上石雕非常精美，每个桥栏的石柱上都雕有各式各样的小狮子，活灵活现。

颐和园展示了中国皇家园林的风貌，有山有水，有亭台楼阁，有小桥流水，真是名不虚传!

中国有许多传统节日，其中我喜欢吃端午节的粽子。

一年一度的端午节又到了，妈妈到市场上买了一些粽叶和糯米回来。先把粽叶和糯米分别浸泡一个晚上，第二天一大早，妈妈开始包粽子，妈妈先把粽叶卷成一个三角形，做成漏斗样的，下面尖得水都流不下来，再把事先准备的糯米等调料一起放到三角形的“漏斗”里，再用手压紧，把“漏斗”上方的粽叶包起来。然后用五彩线绕起来。这样，一个粽子就包好了。我好奇的问妈妈：“为什么端午节要吃粽子呢？直接把糯米放在锅里煮不行吗？”妈妈告诉我：“端午节是起源于对屈原的纪念，屈原投江自尽后，为了保护屈原的尸体不被鱼吃掉，人们就用竹筒装上糯米饭投入江中，后来改用五彩线缠绕，就成了粽子。”妈妈边说边包粽子，不一会儿，一串串粽子就像一个个羊角一样，十分可爱！我迫不急待地让爸爸煮粽子给我吃。大约过了半个小时后，爸爸打开锅盖，啊！满屋粽香，我的口水都流了下来，急忙剥开一个，大口大口地吃着粽子，真香真甜啊！

我国的传统节日还有很多，每个节日都有许多传统文化，更重要的是在每个传统节日里，妈妈都会给我做好多好吃的传统美食。

昔日的年画、鞭炮和祭祖活动了无影踪，中国人最传统的新年文化似乎已逐渐被一次年夜饭、一台春晚和几条拜年的短信所取代。然而，安静的新年只是中国传统文化流失的一个表现。当韩国的端午祭申遗成功，当我们内蒙古族的马头琴成为蒙古国的非物质文化遗产，当成影戏成了印度尼西亚的“传统”，当埃及和韩国在争夺中国造纸术的发明权时，每一个中国人都应当在情人节的玫瑰和圣诞节的铃声中觉醒。我们应当重新回顾中国博大精深的传统文化。那昔日的辉煌为什么如此轻易的被我们遗忘?那些正在一日日流失的中国传统文化的出路究竟在何方?

中华的文化有深厚的历史背景，那是几千年来的沉淀和积聚，每一次的民俗民风都有着其最独特的传说和文化背景，每一个节目都有上古的史载和存在流传的价值。西方简明快捷的文化似乎更易被接受，但中国文化的横深和纵深是不容许被遗忘和取代的。在经济平稳快速增长的时代背景之下，每一个中国人，每一个华夏儿女都有责任深思中国传统文化得以保存并流传的方法。在某种意义上，那是中华民族得以稳站世界民族之林的出路，那是一个以礼治国的民族得以丰富和充实的出路。

虽然那瑰宝仍以痛心的速度流失着，但我们还是看到关注的目光正移向它们。

举世瞩目的奥运会开幕式便是最好的例证，在那次盛会上，我们看到了千人击缶的恢宏场面，我们听到了“有朋自远方来，不亦乐乎”的古诵，我们被昆曲的悠扬感动，我们被活字印刷术的精妙而慑服。张艺谋倾尽心血向世界展示了一个文化悠远的东方古国，也向每一个中华儿女诉说了传统文化的价值和珍贵。

当越来越多的省份开始把民俗民风申入国家非物质文化遗产，当新年的钟声敲响时我们又可以听到喜庆的鞭炮声和飞舞的秧歌彩带时，当在传统节日里我们都有机会去重温过去的习俗时，我们有理由相信，中国传统文化的出路不再是个让人永远担忧的问题，中华儿女终会将每一个传说每一处风俗留给后人，手手相承。

我们看到中国传统文化的出路通向光明。

I like Chinese New Year very much.I can meet many many friends in my family.I like them very much.We sit together to have dinner,I like the food,its very nice.

每一年的大年初一是春节，俗称“过新年”，是我们国家最重要、最隆重的节日。关于春节的来历，还有一个动听的传说呢！

传说，从前有一个叫”年”的怪兽，它经常到村子里危害人类，吃牛和羊。所以，人们一心想除掉它。可是，无论人们用什么办法，都无法赶走“年”。最终，一个小孩无意之中点燃了竹子，发出噼里啪啦的声音，“年”被吓跑了。人们都很高兴。后来，人们为了纪念这个高兴的日子，就在每一年的这一天放鞭炮，每家每户张灯结彩。以后，又逐渐演变成了“春节”这个节日。

春节前，大家都忙得不亦乐乎。打扫卫生，买菜，买礼物，买食品等，到处热闹极了！大年三十，也叫除夕。每家每户都贴上了春联，贴上了“福”字。有的人心灵手巧，把自己剪的窗花贴在窗户上，像降落的雪花。还有的人把灯笼挂在大门上，张灯结彩，很好看。我家也不例外，老爸和爷爷在贴春联，舅舅在挂灯笼。我在贴“倒福”。不一会儿，家里就焕然一新，显得喜气洋洋。

除夕夜晚，我们一家人围坐在一起，有说有笑地吃着团年饭。吃完饭后，当然不能错过那一年一度的春节晚会。我最爱的是风趣幽默的小品和相声，常常使我笑得前俯后仰。“当！当！”新年的钟声敲响了，大人忙着放鞭炮，响声震耳欲聋；我们小朋友忙着放花炮，把夜空打扮得五彩缤纷、千姿百态。

大年初一的早上，我们穿着新衣服开开心心地去给长辈拜年。回来时，我口袋里的红包都装不下啦！

春节真是一个热闹，喜气洋洋的节日，我期待下一个春节赶快来临！

夜晚，有些困意，忽然听到远处隐隐传来《鼓浪屿之波》这首歌：鼓浪屿四海茫茫，海水鼓起波浪……这歌声，一下子把我带进了在鼓浪屿上枕着涛声入眠，面向无垠的大海，听着海水一次又一次拍打礁石的美好时光。

沿着环岛的小路，随着不多不少的人流，一棵棵遮天蔽日的大榕树映入我的眼帘，在它粗壮的枝干下，是牢牢贴在石壁上，盘在土路上，尽力地为大榕树汲取养分的树根。在榕树上垂下千万条粗细不一的气根，不知不觉中就长到了一起，像天然的吊床，又像腾空而起的秋千。在绿色的掩映下，开放着一朵又一朵色彩浓烈的鸡蛋花，仿佛在欢迎我们，谁说这不是大自然给我们的恩泽?

慢慢地就走进岛内。一栋又一栋古老的西洋建筑，向我们诉说鼓浪屿的往事，在历史的河流中，我们最终到达日光岩脚下。日光岩是两块孤立的大石头，此刻已将落日，太阳将它的余晖洒在了起伏不平的岩面上，像金色的浪花，轻轻地拍打着鼓浪屿。

登上日光岩顶，鼓浪屿的景色一览无遗。看着长长的海岸线，望着皓月园内雄姿英发的郑成功雕像，想起了当年郑成功抗击侵略者，收复台湾的壮举。我仿佛看见了一个船队，上面挂着“郑”字大旗，浩浩荡荡地向台湾前进;我仿佛看见了郑成功留守日光岩，运筹帷幄、决胜千里;我仿佛看见了侵略者被打得落花流水，坐上船落荒而逃的情景。至今，爱国精神还在守护着这一方水土。

太阳慢慢地沉了下去，与满天的晚霞交相辉映，恰似刚从高炉里倾泻而出的钢水，给傍晚的鼓浪屿蒙一层橙色的面纱，使鼓浪屿更加幽静神秘。太阳将它最后的万丈霞光洒下向了大海，洒向了郑成功守护着的海岸线。大海金光四射，游船恰似在金液中流动的金粒，被落日悄然刷成了金色，在大海中漂流着。西天的云彩被太阳镶上了一层华丽的金边，犹如一块价值连城的金镶玉宝石，散发出华丽的光芒。日沉西天，落日红得像一个咸鸭蛋黄，仿佛马上要流淌下来。落日，慢慢地沉了下去。

“鼓浪屿四周海茫茫，海水鼓起波浪……”琴园里传出了《鼓浪屿之波》的琴声。我带着对鼓浪屿满满地美好回忆，进入了甜美的梦乡。
