5篇关于中国文化的英语作文带译文(经典20篇)

我们中国的传统文化博大精深，有剪纸、贴对联、戏剧、国画，但我最喜欢的还是剪纸。

每到年底，人们总是剪一些福字，还有喜字表示庆贺。剪纸的内容包含着浓浓的生活气息，比如花草树木、鱼虫鸟兽。剪纸刻着很多精美的图案，比如（天女下凡）。有一次，我奶奶费了很大的功夫，剪了一个很大的福字，上面有很多小星星，我一看惊呆了。那么好看的福字，真令我惊讶啊！我把它挂在墙上，那是多么的好看啊！这表示着我们一家人都有福气。多么好看的福字呀！你们过年有什么喜庆的事，也来展示一下吧。

在商场里，在我的笔袋上，在我妈妈的皮包上，我都可以看到别致的装饰品——中国结。

古时候，没有数字，祖先结绳记事，到了唐宋时代，经过了上千年，中国结就出现了，到了明清时代，它就有了自己的含义。你别看它有的很大，但它只用一根线编织而成。中国结有不同的颜色，有红的、绿的、黄的、蓝的……而且，中国结还有不同的形状，我就有一个平行四边形的中国结，叫蝴蝶结。它红红的，很喜庆，我可喜欢它啦！每个中国结还有不同的含义，如我的中国结——蝴蝶结，代表吉祥如意，幸福美满。双鱼结，代表年年有余，平安结则代表年年平安。

中国结，代表着中国人的智慧和才干。我喜欢中国结，因为它代表着吉祥；我喜欢中国结，因为它代表着平安；我喜欢中国结，因为它代表着幸福；我喜欢中国结，因为，它代表着我们美好的祝愿，代表着中国人对未来的希望！

文化差异何其大 美国为何难以理解中国

Do the events that led to the outbreak of the first world war carry lessons for the Sino-American relationship? A century ago it was the ascent of Germany under Kaiser Wilhelm I thatunsettled the world; today a rising China is roiling east Asia. Then, as now, domestic politicson both sides played a role; one that is too easily neglected.

导致一战爆发的事件对中美关系有什么启发意义吗?一个世纪以前，德国在威廉一世(Kaiser Wilhelm I)领导下的崛起让世界感到不安;如今，中国的崛起让东亚感到不安。当时和现在一样，对立双方的国内政治都发挥了作用——这是一个太容易被人们忽视的因素。

Why did Britain and Germany – linked by trade, dynastic ties, culture and religion – findthemselves at war in August 1914? In part, as historian Paul Kennedy has argued, it wasbecause London’s liberal ideology contributed to its perception of a growing German threat.

1914年8月，存在贸易、王朝纽带、文化和宗教联系的英国和德国为何开战?从某种程度上来说，正如历史学家保罗肯尼迪(Paul Kennedy)所指出的，那是因为伦敦的自由主义意识形态强化了其关于德国威胁日益加剧的认识。

Filtered through liberalism’s lens, Germany looked militarist, autocratic, mercantilist and statist– and contempt for the country’s political culture added to London’s disquiet. When the warbegan, it quickly came to be seen as a liberal crusade against “Prussianism”.

透过自由主义“棱镜”，德国给人看到的是军国主义、独裁、重商主义和计划经济——而对该国政治文化的鄙视也增加了伦敦的不安。当战争爆发时，人们立刻将之视为一场讨伐“普鲁士主义”的自由主义战争。

In this respect, today’s Sino-American rivalry resembles the pre-1914 Anglo-Germanantagonism. The speed of China’s growth worries US policy makers, as do the geopoliticalimplications of its economic transformation.

从这个方面来说，当今的中美对抗类似于1914年以前的英德对抗。中国的发展速度让美国政策制定者感到担忧，其经济改革对地缘政治的影响同样让美国不安。

Across the American political spectrum, China’s success is attributed to its failure to play bythe rules of free trade – for instance, its habit of manipulating the value of its currency andengaging in industrial espionage. Market-oriented liberalism is the dominant ideology in theUS and, as in pre-1914 Britain, it shapes policy makers’ image of their supposed adversary.

在美国政界上下看来，中国的成功得益于其没有遵守自由贸易规则，例如惯于操纵汇率，以及从事工业间谍活动。以市场为导向的自由主义是美国的主要意识形态，而正如1914年前的英国一样，它决定了政策制定者对他们所以为的对手的印象。

American leaders view China as a nation whose undemocratic political system raises doubtsabout both the scope of its foreign policy ambitions and its trustworthiness as a diplomaticpartner. Moreover, China’s combination of political authoritarianism and state-directedcapitalism causes unease because it challenges the supposed universality of the Americanmodel of liberal democracy and free-market capitalism.

在美国领导人的眼里，中国不民主的政治体制令人怀疑其外交政策雄心的范围，以及其作为外交合作伙伴的可信赖性。此外，中国政治威权主义与国家资本主义的结合令人不安，原因是它挑战了美国模式的自由主义民主和自由市场资本主义的所谓普适性。

Aaron Friedberg, a Princeton University professor, says that for Americans, “the success of amainland [Chinese] regime that blends authoritarian rule with market-driven economics is anaffront.” For members of the US foreign-policy elite, the Chinese threat is not so muchgeopolitical as ideological.

普林斯顿大学(Princeton University)的阿龙弗里德伯格(Aaron Friedberg)教授表示，在美国人看来，“中国大陆政权将威权统治和市场导向的经济学结合在一起所取得的成功是一种侮辱”。对美国上层外交政策制定者来说，中国威胁更多是意识形态层面的，而不是地缘政治上的。

Powerful external and domestic forces are putting the US and China on the road toconfrontation. China aspires to be the regional hegemon in east (and southeast) Asia. The US– the incumbent hegemon, having dominated the region since 1945 – is blocking its path.

各种强有力的内外因素正把美中推上对抗之路。中国渴望成为东亚(以及东南亚)地区的霸主，而自1945年以来主导该地区的现任霸主美国则拦在路上。

Yet America’s predominance in east Asia contributes little to the security of a nation whosegeography and unsurpassed military capabilities would anyway make it close to invulnerable.The US is the most secure great power in history – even more so if you factor in thedeterrent effect of nuclear weapons. The true cause of American insecurity is not animminent encroachment on its territory but the risk that US alliances – especially with Japan –will draw it into a regional conflict.

然而，在东亚地区的主导地位并不会让美国更安全——不管怎样，美国所处的地理位置和拥有的无可匹敌的军事能力让其处于一种近乎无懈可击的状态。美国是历史上最安全的大国——如果你考虑到核武器的威慑作用，就会更肯定这一点。美国真正的不安全因素不是其疆域会遭到入侵，而是同盟关系——尤其是美日同盟——将其拖入地区冲突的风险。

The US wants to maintain its east Asian dominance to keep the region’s markets open toAmerican goods and its people open to liberal ideas. China threatens this openness, on whichAmerica’s security is wrongly believed to depend.

美国希望保持在东亚地区的主导地位，以让该地区的市场继续向美国商品开放，其民众继续接受自由主义思想的熏陶。中国威胁到了这种开放，而美国的安全被错误地以为依赖于这种开放。

The liberal assumptions embedded in American foreign policy put the US at odds with China,and also heighten Beijing’s mistrust of Washington’s intentions and ambitions. The spiral ofanimosity that threatens to culminate in a confrontation between the two countries is inlarge part a creation of American policy.

美国外交政策中蕴含的自由主义思想导致美国与中国立场不一致，也加深了北京方面对华盛顿意图和抱负的不信任感。这种不断增长的、有可能在两国对抗中达到顶峰的敌意，在很大程度上是美国政策导致的。

As China’s rises, Washington has a last clear chance to avoid the looming Sino-Americanconflict.

在中国的崛起过程中，美国有最后的避让机会，可以避免不断迫近眼前的中美冲突真正爆发。

This would entail making real concessions on Taiwan and on China’s territorial claims in the Eastand South China Seas. It would also involve a commitment that Washington would notinterfere in China’s internal affairs.

这需要美国在台湾xx以及中国涉及东中国海和南中国海的领土主张上做出真正的妥协。此外美国也需承诺不干预中国内部事务。

America’s political culture – based on exceptionalism, liberal ideology, and openness – is a bigobstacle to coming to terms with a resurgent China. So is the fact that the foreign-policy eliteremains wedded to American primacy, and refuses to accept that this will inevitably slip awaybecause of the relative decline of US power.

美国建立在例外主义、自由主义思想和开放观念等基础之上的政治文化，是影响美国接受复兴的中国的一大障碍。另一个障碍是，美国外交政策圈子中的精英们依然痴迷于“美国主导地位”，并拒绝接受这种地位随着美国实力相对衰落必将丧失的观点。

History is also a problem.

历史也是一个问题

US policy makers are quick to invoke what they take to be the lessons of the 1930s whileoverlooking the causes of the first world war. David Calleo, a professor at Johns Hopkins, hasobserved that what we should learn from the earlier conflict “is not so much the need forvigilance against aggressors, but the ruinous consequences of refusing reasonableaccommodation to upstarts”.

美国政策制定者迅速摆出他们从上世纪30年代事件中归纳的教训，却无视一战的起因。约翰斯-霍普金斯大学(Johns Hopkins University)的戴维卡莱奥(David Calleo)教授指出，我们应该从更早那场冲突中学到的主要教训，“不是必须警惕侵略者，而是拒绝合理包容新崛起者将带来破坏性后果”。

If the US wants to avoid a future conflict with China, it cannot allow liberal ideology toobstruct a reconciliation with an ever more powerful China. That is the real lesson of 1914.

如果美国想要避免未来与中国发生冲突，就不能让自由主义意识形态妨碍它与越来越强大的中国修好。这是1914年带给我们的真正教训。

Yunnan is located about the southwest part of China. This place has beautiful mountains, and rivers and full with many local minority races. Because Yunan is high elevated, comparatively level expanse of land and a plateau, it has a overall warm weather, which is perfectly fit for human. It is close to the sun, therefore the UV level is high, and local people has comparatively darker skin.

Kunming is the capital of Yunan, even though it is not as prosperously commercialized as Shanghai, or as long historical background as Beijing, but the unique natural scenery and culture is highly recognized and appreciated by domestic and international tourists. You can see girls wear long, loosen, and colorful skirts on the street. The special food culture around the street is also a special feature of Kunming, there is nothing that you cannot find, just things that you cannot imagine.

Around Lijiang River, you can go to the bars around the old town, and the culture is very open-minded, girls around there are very friendly and dance with you. This place is a tourism hot spot, so the material expense is very high, no matter how much money you have, you can spend them all in one night!

最近，我们学校举行了“陶花节——茶文化专场”的活动，在活动中，我学到了很多知识，比如：有关茶的歌、有关茶的传说、怎样泡茶才好喝……

在活动的几天内，我们跟着陆华老师学了有关茶的歌。

在班队课上，陆老师在广播里将我们唱歌。赵老师在班里说着这件事，同学们听了哇哇大笑，顿时，教室里像炸开了锅。陆老师先把歌词跟老师们说，让老师把歌词写在黑板上，然后陆老师唱一句，同学们跟一句，唱得像只老虎，不过我们已经很努力的在唱了。“叮铃铃”下课了，同学们也跟着广播唱了起来。

有关茶的传说很多，有龙井茶的传说、黄山毛峰的传说、铁观音的传说、君上银针的传说……其中我最熟悉的是铁观音的传说。故事是这样的：二百多年前，当地有一位老茶农姓魏名荫，精于茶事，又笃信佛教，每日早晚必在佛前敬献清茶。一夜，在梦中荷锄出门，至溪涧石旁，见石缝中有一茶树，枝繁叶茂，芳香似兰，深感诧异，正欲探身摘叶，忽被犬吠声惊醒。翌晨，他循梦中途径，行至观音岩打石坑石壁处，果然看到梦中所见茶树，汁淳厚细润，边缘作锯齿状，红芽绿叶，异于它种。遂将茶树移植家中一破铁鼎中，悉心培育繁殖，精工炒出从未有过的好茶，亲朋好友品尝之后，无不称道。由于此树是梦赐之物，又栽在铁鼎中，而且茶色重如铁，故取名铁观音。

我还知道了怎样泡茶才好喝。在活动的那天，家里来了客人，爸爸叫我给客人们泡茶，我根本就不会泡茶：一会儿茶叶放得太多，一会儿茶叶放得太少，一会儿水太热，一会儿水太冷……我不情愿地倒起了茶，爸爸看见我烦躁的样子，走过来对我说：“女儿，你这就不懂了，泡铁观音可不是这样泡的，应该这样泡：首先也是要把握好水温，泡乌龙茶的水温要在100度左右，水温太凉，铁观音就会泡不开，香气也不能发挥。其次在冲泡的过程中，要控制好冲泡的时间。时间和水温都把握的好，那冲泡出来的茶就应该不存在多大的问题。”我听了爸爸的话，茅塞顿开，马就去泡茶了。在这次活动中，我学到了好多的知识。

莫高窟是甘肃的一个景点。那儿风景优美，有很多名胜古迹，是个迷人的地方。

莫高窟为什么这么惹人喜爱?因为那儿的壁画、佛像和洞口都很奇特。

先说那儿的壁画。那儿的壁画只能用一个词来形容，那就是“世界闻名”。一幅幅精美的壁画栩栩如生地摆在我们面前。画中的人有的聊天，有的骑马，有的吃东西，还有的放纸鸢，好像真的一样!

再说那儿的佛像，真是千姿百态，各种各样。有的懒洋洋地躺在“床上”，好像睡着了一样;有的蹲坐在一个大石头上，好像在念经;还有的佛像一丝不苟地站在那儿，好像在守卫着老百姓的平安。嘿，真有趣!

还有一个不可缺少的东西——洞口。莫高窟的洞口很特别，高的矮的、大的小的都有。洞口还很精美，上面刻着龙、蛇、蜥蜴等爬行动物，简直是鬼斧神工!

你看，这儿是多么迷人，多么美丽。我相信，经过人们世世代代的保护，以后的莫高窟一定会更加迷人，它的美一定会流传下去!

导语：有关中国教育问题一直被关注着，那么中国的早期教育是什么样的呢?下面是yuwenmi小编为大家整理的相关优秀英语作文，欢迎阅读与借鉴，谢谢!

Chinese are very generous while educating children. Not caring about the money, parents of-ten send their children to the best schools or even abroad to study because they believe that the more expensive an education is, the better it is.

So parents will spend an unreasonable amount of money oneducation. Even poor couples will buy a computer for their children. However, the best early education is usually very cheap. Childrens skills vary. Most parents fail to realize though,what children lack today is self-respect and self-confidence. The problem is that parents are only educating their children on how to take multiple choice tests and study well instead of the most important skills of being confident, happy and clever. Parents can achieve this by teaching practical skills like cooking, sewing and other housework. Cooking will improve many skills children need later in life. Though demanding patience and time, it is an enjoyable experience. A good cook always tries to improve his cooking,so he works hard and gradually finishes his job successfully.His result, a well-cooked dinner, will give him much satisfaction and a lot of self-confidence. Some old machines, such as a broken radio or TV set your child plays with will make him curious and arouse his interest.

He may spend hours looking at them, trying to fix them. These activities are not merely teaching a child to read a book, but rather to think, to use his mind. And that is more important.

中国人在教育孩子时非常慷慨。不关心钱，有的父母送他们的孩子去最好的学校甚至出国学习，因为他们认为教育越贵，就越好。

所以父母会花太多钱的教育。即使是贫穷的夫妇也会为他们的孩子买电脑。然而，最好的早期教育通常是非常便宜。儿童技能各不相同。大多数家长没有意识到，现在孩子缺乏的是自尊和自信。问题是，父母只是在教育孩子如何进行多项选择考试，好好学习，而不是最重要的技能，自信，快乐和聪明。家长可以通过教授烹饪、缝纫和其他家务等实际技能来达到这一目的。烹饪会提高孩子以后生活中需要的技能。虽然要求耐心和时间，这是一个愉快的经验。一个好的厨师总是努力提高自己的厨艺，所以他努力工作，并逐渐成功地完成了他的工作，他的结果，一个精心制作的晚餐，将给他带来很大的满足和自信。有些旧的机器，比如你孩子玩的坏收音机或电视机，会使他好奇，引起他的兴趣。

他可能会花几个小时看着他们，试图修复他们。这些活动不仅是教孩子读书，而是思考，用他的头脑。更重要的是。

在现代人的生活中，端午节只是为了吃一次粽子，中秋节似乎只是为了吃一块月饼，春节似乎只是一个长长的假期，浓浓的传统文化氛围已荡然无存了，有谁会去关注曾经屈原留给我们的感动，有谁会在房前插一枝艾草，喝一碗雄黄酒;中秋时节有有谁去关注那轮孤独的圆月，似乎月亮的光辉都被明亮的烟火夺走;春节期间，有能有多少人记得许多美好的习俗，而现在本是祝福与希望象征的 压岁钱 却被有浓厚金钱味 红包 取代，许许多多人都说：过年没年味了。这些都是我们十分重要的传统文化节日，它们现在都没人冷落成这个样子，其他传统文化的处境更是不堪设想。唉!我听见传统文化在哭泣，这哭泣声中有失望，有无奈，还有的是对我们的期望。

当听到韩国人成功的将端午节申请他们的文化遗产时，我想每一个中国人都震惊了，在震惊的同时，我们感到更多的是疑惑，好好的端午节，我们的传统节日，怎么就成了他邦异族文化遗产?我们于是开始反思，我们何时认真的对待过传统文化，只有在别人将我们的文化遗产抢走，我们正在失去的时候，我们还猛然的省悟，自己做的真的是不够呢!

面对这愈来愈多的传统文化消失的现象，我们想到了保护，正如最近才颁发的新的节假日条例，将清明，端午货物中秋等传统节日列入其中，以后，在这些节日里就会有一天的假期，我只希望保护能起到效果，而不是传统节日变成了纯粹的假期。

在我看来，保护不是挽救我们传统文化的根本办法，而更在于发展。在于人们对待传统文化的态度!只有发展了才更有生命力，只有发展了才能长久不衰。但是发展是合理的发展，如果是盲目的随心所欲的发展我们的传统文化，我想着只能加速他的灭亡!传统文化不会因为个人的保护和发展而繁荣，他需要的是大家的力量，是社会的力量，众人的保护和发展才能给传统文化注入更多的生命力!

多么希望传统文化不会再哭泣，而是在于现代文化的碰撞中微笑前进!

真的希望在端午节的时候，我们能再一次聆听屈原的心声，感受精神的力量，传承美好古老的又在发展的习俗!真的希望中秋时分，家人团聚，天下共赏一轮圆月，体味浓浓的亲情!真的希望过年的时候，锣鼓敲起来，人们动起来真正感受除旧迎新的喜悦 我还希望着。

中国的传统文化，犹如一条大河，源远流长。里面有：中国结，雕刻，脸谱......其中让我最喜欢的是春联。

在春节来临，千家万户写春联，贴春联。写春联的时候可以用金色或黑色的毛笔来写春联。春联的长度约95厘米，宽约12-20厘米。春联有两大部分组成。第一部分是两条对联，第二部分是有横幅组成。下面我为大家讲一个春联的故事吧。

在中国古代神话中，相传有一个鬼域的世界。当中有座山，山上有一棵覆盖三千里的大桃树，树梢上有一只金鸡。每当早晨金鸡长鸣的时候，夜晚出去游荡的鬼魂必赶鬼域。鬼域的大门坐落在桃树的东北，门边站着两个神人，名叫神茶，郁垒。如果鬼魂在夜间伤害了人，两个神人就把他们捆起来，送去喂虎。鬼魂们都怕两个神人。于是人们刻他们的模样，放在自家门口，避邪。后来人们刻上他们的名字，在桃木板上写对联，结果同样避邪。终于人们在红纸上写对联。然后成了春联。

中国的传统文化很多我都喜欢，智慧和才干的人们我更喜欢。

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.

Protect Traditional Chinese Culture

The passage mainly tells us the importance of protecting traditional Chinese culture, which is challenged or facing extinction because of the developing society and changing lifestyle. Besides, China is nationwide sparing no efforts to do it.

The protection of national and folk culture is of great significance to Chinese cultural diversity and also to the harmonious development between local economic and social development. It is reported that the Guangdong government pays special attention to protecting Chaoju(潮剧)， a local drama born in Chaozhou in the eastern Guangdong province.

In my opinion, some measures should be taken to protect traditional culture effectively. To start with, we should make a law to regulate the society’s performance. Besides, we should draw more people’s attention to it, for the more they know about the importance of culture protection, the stronger the support we can get from the public.

In a word, it is high time for us to treasure and develop our own valuable culture.

汉语，是我们中国的灿烂的文化。那一个个方块字组成的语言，一笔一划间，如同彩带在飞舞，如同一条翱翔在空中的龙，散发着中国宝贵的文化魅力和中国人拥有的伟大的智慧，是我们祖先艺术文化的结晶，是中国的瑰宝。

一个个方块字组成一段语言，这一段语言从我们口中说出，即变成了汉语。以前小时候，我不爱写字，觉得这些文字就像一个个我看不懂的奇怪的符号，每次老师听写字词时，都要错几个，所以之前我觉得学汉字简直太难，可还要一笔一划地记住这个字的笔画，越到高年级这些字就越难。幸亏老师教给我们一个好办法，比如说"翔”就像两只角长在一只鸟头上，鸟的右边还有如同两个羽毛，这样，这些很难的字就被记住了。并且自己还可以发挥想象，把很难的方块字拆成几个好记的字或动作，这样更方便我们记得这些不会写得中国字，后来，我学起语文，记起字就更容易多了。

经过小学六年和初中接近一年的学习，我所积累的文字越来越多，口语表达能力却没怎么提高，比如给我几个很美很有意境的词语，让我造个句，我造的也比不上其他人造的优美。几个词语连成一个句话，看似简单，其实很难，足以体现出汉语需要我们去深入探究其中奥秘。想要说出富有诗意的句子，则必须要有想象力。

汉字，要想写得好看，写得美妙精巧，必须每天练，照那些名人所写得字，一日又一日，一年有一年，你写的字一定会有所进步。字体也有好多种，例如：楷体、魏碑、方正等。这些虽然结构不太同，但每一种都有每一种具有的独特风格。汉字，是我们中国人的母语，学好汉语，认识不同的汉字，是我必须具备的能力。

一个一个的方块字，一句一句的汉语，我们用汉语抒发我们的理想，用汉语书写祖国灿烂的篇章，展示了祖国美丽富强的光辉一面。汉语，中国灿烂的文化，为中国掀开了新的世界，新的未来。

“随风潜入夜，润物细无声。”小苗只有在雨露的滋润下，才能健康成长。孩子只有在优良家风熏陶下，才能出类拔萃。最近，随着“家风”一词火了起来，脑海中不禁涌现出我们家“尊老爱幼、勤俭节约”的一幅幅传统美德的景象。

“父母所爱亦爱之，父母之所敬亦敬之。”在我眼里，爸爸妈妈就是这样的孝子，他们用自己的言行教育影响着我。

我的爷爷奶奶住在很远的湖北乡下，平时很少能有机会孝敬他们。每逢寒、暑假和春节时，爸爸妈妈都要带着我到老家住上十天半个月，还经常带爷爷奶奶来上海过年。除了给他们买新年礼物之外，还经常带他们游览上海的各大景点。

最难忘的就是2013年的暑假，凌晨时分，爸爸突然接到了一个电话，爷爷不幸得了脑出血，情况很危险。爸爸妈妈连忙乘飞机赶了过去，在当地医院救治，由于那里医疗设备没有上海先进，妈妈当机立断把爷爷接到上海的大医院进行治疗。在住院的那段时间里，爸爸妈妈忙得不可开交，单位医院两头奔，却从未说过一句抱怨的话，他们一直陪伴爷爷，直到爷爷安心地离开这个世界。俗话说：“久病床前无孝子!”但是爸爸妈妈用行动证明了有孝子、孝媳的存在。

“静以修身，俭以养德。”一个人只有节俭才是真正的品德高尚。“节俭兴家，浪费可耻。”这是外公外婆常挂在嘴边的一句话。他们是这样说，更是这样做的。

外公外婆今年都已经六十开外了，他们都是本本分分的农民。由于土地被承包，外公便在附近的工厂里做起了保安。保安的工作不轻松，外公这么大年纪还要加班。外公很勤劳，工作之余，他在家里还养了五六十只鸡和鸭，每天忙个没完没了。但是，外公却从来舍不得吃，鸡鸭生的蛋永远都留给我、爸爸和妈妈，还说小孩子正在长身体应该补充些营养，却从没想过年纪大了也需要营养啊!

外婆每天除了做完家务以外，还要去田里种田。她自己省吃俭用，每当妈妈给外婆买了新衣服，她总是舍不得穿，只有过节才肯穿。

这就是我的家，一个拥有温暖的家。爸爸妈妈、外公外婆，用言行教育影响着我，让我从小树立勤俭节约，尊老爱幼的美德。相信这样的美德之风将代代相传。

看了这个文章标题，你是不是觉得好奇怪：面条怎么能做人呢?难道面条能扭曲做小人?嘿，别着急，我这就讲讲这奇怪的“面人”。

要想弄清面人是怎样子的，我就得带你咬文嚼字一下。面，不是你吃的那种面，这里指的是面粉，是面条未成条状以前的东西。人，那也不是会走会跳会跑的人，是假人，只是样子像人而已。现在该明白了吧?面人，就是面粉做的假人。

面人小巧可爱，瞧那面人师手中的面人栩栩如生，有的像孙悟空，那“孙悟空”穿着虎皮围裙，还穿了一家现代化的T恤，那模样，准能把一群人笑倒。还有的像张飞，瞧啊，那面人浑身炭黑，包着包头，手里挥舞着丈八蛇矛，双脚离地，好像要向敌军砍去，吓得我魂儿都没了。

“快来看啊!师傅要做蝴蝶样的面人了!”呀，现场制作面人啊!只见那师傅熟练的从抽屉里取出一团棕色的面团，三下五除二，那面团眨眼分离出一团锥子形的面团，师傅不知从哪儿变出一把雕刻刀，瞬间把面团刻上了纹路，然后放在了一个高温玻璃匣里待用，师傅又取出了白色的面团，

那雕刻刀把它裁成了一对大半圆， 剩下的面团被师傅捏成了小半圆，

粘在大半圆上，啊，原来这是蝴蝶的翅膀，师傅吧棕色锥形的面团取出，把翅膀粘在面团上， 蝴蝶就初步成型了，师傅有手脚麻利地点绽了一下蝴蝶，啊 ，多么美丽的蝴蝶啊!

面人真有趣，下次一定要自己学习做面人。

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.

越过长河落日，望见远处深邃眼眸，如深潭静寂，如暗涌滚动。如若呼唤着我。

到了俑坑，暗淡的光线，显得兵马俑格外的神秘，一丝丝泥土浑浑的温暖，一丝丝剑影如梭的寒意。从上俯视兵马俑。一个巨大的长方形方阵，排列整齐划一。纵观全场，兵佣神态各异，或蹲，或坐，或立;或矫首昂视，或眺望远方，或低头沉思。他们的眼眸深邃而宁静，眼前是万里江山的坚定，是守卫大秦的坚定。

那时他们所向披靡，凝视着他们坚毅且镇定的面庞，想象着他们的南征北战、浴血奋战的场景，让人情不自禁地想起在那战火纷飞的年代，他们所向披靡、奋勇杀敌的飒爽英姿。那样的震撼的美，镇人心弦。

兵马俑雕刻得细致入微。身着甲片泛着微光，发丝流动着不同寻常的影子。再次听见那声呼唤，来自的是骊山的深处。被风吹入冰寒潭水。辗转飘飘，在呢喃，在轻吟。呢喃，你看秦风雄伟，天下一统;轻吟，你望华夏五千年，悠悠历史岁月沉淀却没抹去我们的文明。

我呼唤，神州大地，华夏儿女，在岁月中，步步向前!

农历五月初五是中国的传统佳节。端午节又可以叫端阳节，传说那天是中国古代伟大诗人屈原抱石投江的日子。那天爱国诗人屈原听到自己的国家快要灭亡的消息后，悲愤交加、心如刀割，抱起一块石头，纵身跳入江河里。

人们为了纪念屈原每到端午节时，大家就划着船把饭投进江里，可是后来他们发现投入江里的米饭全被鱼吃了。于是，人们就想了一个办法，就是把米放在一种长长的叶子里包成四个角的形状，鱼见了以为是菱角，因为菱角有尖尖的刺，鱼就不敢再吃了。

直到现在，人们一到端午节就吃粽子、赛龙舟来纪念伟大的爱国诗人屈原。外婆也会把长长的、青青的艾条挂在家门口。我最爱吃的就是大肉粽了，特别是高速公路上的绍兴服务区卖的“诸老大”粽子，味道非常鲜美，让我回味无穷。

我们是中国人，讲着中国话，写着中国字，做着中国事，讲着我们中国人做人的道理……中华优秀传统文化是我们的根，是我们的灵魂，是我们的血脉，是我们奋斗的精神力量！我们应当珍惜，重视起中华优秀的传统文化，别像冯骥才感叹如今青少年对中华文化漠视那样：“春节过得没意思，只想过情人节；不喜欢端午节，却喜欢在感恩节里吃火鸡，虽然不知道感恩谁”，我们要寻根，寻找我们丢失的中国文化根！

“五月五，是端午，门插艾，香满堂，吃粽子，撒白糖，龙船下水喜洋洋。”端午节本来是一个夏季的一个驱除瘟疫的节日，后来楚国诗人屈原于端午节这天想到这污浊的尘世，虽自己不能挽救，但也绝不允许它玷污了自己，因此怀石自沉，所以端午节就变成了追忆和纪念屈原的日子了。

粽子的香，是清新中带着淡淡的甜香。

每到端午前夕，妈妈总带我回乡下取粽叶，洗粽叶，包三角粽，圆鼓鼓的头，粽叶被棉线缠绕成了“可爱多”的样子。粽叶虽然不及荷叶的浓郁，但也有竹叶的清香。里面裹着家乡本地产的糯米，白白亮亮的，晶莹剔透，熟了以后，咬一口，清芬香甜。

艾叶菖蒲的香，是清新中带着独特的草药香。

妈妈把两把艾叶和菖蒲分别挂在大门的两侧，菖蒲的根处是白嫩白嫩的，叶子是翠绿扁长的，艾叶圆圆的茎上布满了绿绿的绒绒的叶子。挂了一段日子，那原本亮泽的绿变得黄绿，变得枯干，随之驱蚊的的艾草香弥漫在空气中。不仅如此，妈妈总拿一些艾草菖蒲来煮水给我洗澡，艾草香在满身溢开。满身的艾叶香让我感受到了浓浓的温情。

雄黄酒的香，是清新中带着回味的醇香。

雄黄是一种矿物，把它调和在米酒中，制成雄黄酒。端午节临近酷暑，按古人的话来说，虫类和一些细菌都会在这个时期纷纷快速繁殖，活跃起来。爸爸也仿效古人，端起酒杯把雄黄酒一饮而尽，为了解毒防疫。妈妈也拿着那雄黄酒在家里到处洒，拿着桃枝，蘸上雄黄酒，在我的身上洒了几滴，又在脑门上画了个“王”字来驱毒避邪，一整天我都沉浸在这雄黄酒香中，昏昏欲睡时，仿佛回到了古代，不禁欣喜，醒后便回味无穷。

端午节的中国文化根，裹在溢满乡情的粽叶中，悬在满含温情的艾草菖蒲中，飘在回味的酒香中……

我们守住根，就是热爱自己国家的传统文化，传统文化让我们懂得生活，懂得感恩，懂得传承。传承和弘扬我们的中国文化，正是祖先对我我们的希望和要求。

守住中国文化根，就是守住了我们的灵魂！

守住中国文化根，就是守住了我们的血脉！

守住中国文化根，就是守住了我们的精神力量！

让我们一起守住中国文化根，创造中国文化的辉煌！

无论是(水浒传)中的“砍头如西瓜”，或是(西游记)中的“皆尽打杀之”，似乎都给人这么一种印象：中国的生命，无论是人是妖都不那么被看重，至少在一些文学作品里是这样。黄文炳老先生可谓倒霉之极，不过想捞个小官当当，把宋江给告了，就让人绑在柱子上像片北京烤鸭那样给人生剐了下酒。武松杀张监都时也许是想试试刀锋，便把人家大小十多口无论端灰的倒尿的全都砍了，更不必说(三国演义)里“斩首五千”。那是生命么？草芥都不如。

那被称为“中国历史上几大悲剧”之一的关汉卿老先生的作品，我觉得不仅仅是那位小妇人的悲剧。实在太可悲了：关老夫子不知是为了升华戏剧情节还是喝多了酒，竟不顾多可怜的生命，让一个弱女子临刑前立下何其狠毒的誓言。咒几个昏官“头上长疮脚底流脓”也就罢了，非得又是大雪三尺又是伏旱三年。老天，得压垮多少房子饿死多少人哪！而我们却对诸多冻饿而死的生命视而不见，并且在课堂上高谈阔论，分析这上情节是多么巧妙多么的画龙点睛。

于是在国人心中，生命——主要是敌人的，无论仇敌情敌宿敌或阶级敌人——都是一钱不值的。古代、近代甚至当代都渗透着这一种思想，它似乎已深深烙在国人的思想深处，并且大多是通过艺术家的手表现出来的。远的如黄文炳，张都临还有三国里那几千倒霉鬼，近的如(南征北战)里成片被打倒的“国军”士兵，抑或(上甘岭)里像捏死蚂蚁被揍扁的美国大兵。我们在热血沸腾时的同时，很容易忘记一样东西：生命！

结果理所当然地导致了大量的描绘如何戕害生命的文学作品的出现。艺术家们在“史无前例”中极尽疯狂地拿起“刀枪”刺向自己的敌人。造成了多少兄弟阋墙，父子反目，夫妻离心的惨剧，我无法穷举事实。就比如当时吃“牛鬼蛇神”的风潮吧，人既然成了“牛鬼蛇神”也就不成其人了，生命自然无关紧要，架口锅炖了大家分享自然可厚非。至少当时那些抱柴的架锅的是这么想。

记得前几年高考作文题是“战胜脆弱”。为数可观的教师改到这样的内容：临考的前不久我的父母双双过世……但我终于战胜了脆弱走进了考常我们似乎无法苛责考生，前辈们已然为了渲染艺术效果而能让弱女子发下毒誓，现今的考生当然可以在试卷上将自己的父母送入火葬场，从而博得高分了。

我国是一个有着丰富文化底蕴的国家，其中也不乏有很多的传统节日，如春节、元宵节、清明节、中秋节 今天我就给大家说说端午节。

为什么端午节会在每年的阴历五月初五过呢?那是因为我国古代伟大的政治家、思想家屈原在这一天遭人迫害，被迫投江而死，人们为了纪念他，就将他投江死亡的这日定为 端午日 。

在我国，端午节这天有很多的民间习俗，包粽子是大家最喜欢的习俗，这天，一家人会围坐在一起包粽子，有说有笑，其乐融融，粽子熟了，大家又会坐在一起吃粽子，香喷美味的粽子香飘满了屋;赛龙舟也是我国端午节传统的节目，亲朋好友相伴而行，到江边观看龙舟比赛，看，一艘龙舟快速的驶过来了，激起了江边观赛人的热情，大家为它鼓掌加油。

在我的家乡，每到端午节，每家每户还会准备一些艾草，插在大门和窗户上，我问奶奶 为什么要在门上插草呢? 奶奶说 这是咱这的习俗，插上艾草，蚊虫蛇蚁就会远离咱家，让咱家人都健健康康的。 家里有小孩的，还会给小孩的衣服上挂上做的 五毒葫芦 ，祈求保佑孩子健康。这些虽然只是一些习俗，但却在我们家乡形成了一种文化。

端午节虽然只是众多节日中的一个，却给我们带来了欢乐，也让我增长了知识，愿端午节的传统文化能够继续传承。
