When I came to school this morning, I found an Oxford Dictionary, which is the sixth printing on the ground of school gate. I was afraid it would be demaged if nobody piched it up. And I stood there for a while seeing no one intended to pick it up. Therefore, I took it to my dormitory. The dictionary is brand new. It has a note in the middle of the book where I saw a poem----Saying Good-bye to Cambridge Again written in Chinese on the paper.

If its owner sees this, please contact me after the school time or just go to my dormitory. My number is 13698965421 and room number is 612.

金秋十月，我们学校组织了一次到大足石刻的社会实践活动。 Golden Autumn October, our school organized a social practice activity to go to Dazu stone carvings.

大清早，同学们乘着大巴，一路上洒下我们的欢歌笑语。很快，我们便来到了大足的宝顶山，这里云雾缭绕，风景优美。

在工作人员的带领下，我们穿上统一的汉服，迫不及待地来到刻有“天下大足”的大门旁。只见宽阔的广场上，整整齐齐地摆放着一排排具有古典气息的石书桌，上面放着笔、墨、纸和《弟子规》，广场正前方还挂着两幅孔子的画像。我们庄重而严肃地站在石桌前，仔细地听着工作人员为我们讲解中国的传统文化——尊师重道，同学们虔诚地在孔子像前行三鞠躬礼，还恭敬地写了一个“人”字，老师给我们讲解了“人”的笔画含义，一撇代表学问，一捺代表品德，大家还一齐朗诵了《弟子规》。最后老师在我们的眉心点上一颗朱砂，这个仪式代表老师已为我们开启了智慧之门。

通过学习儒家文化，拜孔子，让我们知道了从小学要会礼仪，学会感恩，还教育了我们如何做人、做学问，如何做一个德才兼备的优秀学生。

随后，我们来到了博物馆的地下层。在那里我们学会了如何沏茶，品茶，喝茶，让我们知道了茶其实也是一种文化。

午饭后，我们来到大足石刻。这里石窟有75处，造像多达5万多尊，这些石刻以题材广泛，内容丰富，技艺精湛而著称，它是世界石窟艺术中的一颗璀璨明珠，更是一部伟大的石窟“连环画”。其中“千手观音”石像给我留下了深刻印象，“千手观音”高7。7米，刻于88平方米的峭壁上。她全身镀满了金箔，金光闪闪，被誉为“天下奇观”，千手观音共有1007只手，手里拿着120件法器，每只手中心均有一个法眼，像在视察人间疾苦，这些佛手无一雷同，千姿百态地分布在佛身四周，像孔雀开屏一样美丽。

细细观察，你会发现这些石刻全部由山体直接开凿而成。可以想象，在那个缺乏现代科技的时代，古人不知克服了多少艰难险阻。我情不自禁地感叹古代的能工巧匠们的非凡技艺。

随后，我们又进行了写生活动和参观了石刻博物馆。

通过这次大足石刻的社会实践活动，让我感受到了中国古人的聪明才智以及中国传统文化的博大精深，我们一定要弘扬并传承中华的传统文化。

昨天我和奶奶去了农业展览馆参观，我们看了《非物质文化遗产》这个展览后我非常有感。

首先，因为人太多我先先去了5号展厅，里面有很多非物质文化遗产，比如说南京的云锦，南方的陶瓷，好有好多好多说不出名字的东西。我印像最深的就是陶瓷工艺了，他介绍了怎么作，我看了一下，首先用泥做出基本形状然后放进火炉烤30分钟左右左，最后取出来一个精美的陶瓷就完成了。

之后我们去了1号展厅，里面有很多珍贵的文化遗产，我们先去了剪纸部分参观，我们看到了一个老奶奶做去了很做漂亮的剪纸，真是太棒了。之后我们来到了文房四宝展区，据说文房四宝有墨水，墨台，毛笔，和宣纸。缺一不可，然我感受到了文学界里的博大精深。下面我们来到了面塑展区，我们看到了好几个人在那里用一块块面做出各种造型，让我爱不释手真行要一个啊。最后我们来到了锦绣展区，里面有个老奶奶在一针一线的绣着锦绣，后来我看了看绣的珠子才发现珠子的口经才不到1厘米真是太吓人了。

看了这次展览我我知道了非物质文化遗产的博大精深，让我知道了我们的非物质文化遗产。

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！

你们可知道我最拿手的是什么吗?让我来告诉你们吧!我最拿手的是剪纸。只是你们不要以为我只会剪什么动物、字、花等图案，我是想要剪什么就能够剪什么的，而且你们还不要说我还剪得有点像模像样的，非常逼真。 怎么样，你想要看看我的手艺吗?好吧，我就剪一个给你看一看。

只是，不巧，你不能够到我这儿来。现在我只能够用文字告诉你，看了以后你一定也会感受到、欣赏到的。 我先找来了一张白纸，裁成一个正方形。然后，我按照自己想剪图形的样子去折纸。我斜着对折，然后再斜着对折一次。好了，现在这一张纸成了一个三角形了，好象一座小山。接着，我就动手剪了起来。我东边一剪，西边一剪，然后弯了下去，再翻过一个身来往中间剪过去。我又弯来弯去地剪了一会儿，很快我就把纸花给剪好了。然后，我把纸翻开。啊，这时你就可以看到一幅漂亮的剪纸呈现在你的面前了。

当然，如果你在现场看到我的剪纸的话，一定会更加兴奋。而且还会立刻动手也想自己亲自剪一剪呢!不过没有关系，你只要自己动手试一试，多试试，就一定会摸索出一套经验来的，而且会越剪越好的。 好了，我不跟你多说了，你赶紧去按照我说的去做，去剪吧!如果有机会，我们还可以走到一起商量探讨，把我们的剪纸技术进一步提高，让我们的中国民间艺术得到进一步发扬光大。

今天，学校给我们看了关于这方面的视频，主要讲了：“仁爱，爱国，好学，清廉”等多个主题，讲述我国传统文化的故事。

其中，“好学”这个主题，讲述了匡衡非常好学的故事：匡衡很好学，但家里很穷，所以他白天必须干活挣钱，只有晚上才能看书，但是，他买不起蜡烛，天一黑，就无法看书了，于是，匡衡小心的在墙壁上凿了一个洞，邻居家的烛光就透了过来，这样匡衡就能在晚上看书了，这就是《凿壁借光》的故事，又如，其它方面还讲了“孟子”等人，古代那些名事讲也讲不完……

我被惊住了，中华民族竞如此多的优良传统。古人都能做到“仁爱，爱国……，他们可以做到，那么作为新时代的我们，就更应学习弘扬祖国优良的文化、家风。

家风是什么?家风就是一个家庭或家族的传统风尚。家风是中华民族传统美德的现代传承，是中华民族五千多年的灿烂文化所厚育的许多优良传统。我们上一代的爸爸妈妈把中华民族的优良家风传给了我们，那我们也要学会并传承这伟大的家风，弘扬中华民族的传统文化。我们要从现在做起，好好学习，好好做人，好好传承并弘扬我们优良的家风。把全民族的智慧集中起来，形成无比强大的精神力量和物质财富。承继传统美德，弘扬民族精神，倘若我们都重视家风的作用来重振家风，那么社会主义核心价值观将会得到弘扬，社会风气将会蔚然成风。

让我们手拉手、心连心共同把文明美德传承下去，弘扬我们的民族精神，让中华民族这朵美丽的生活之花开遍世界的每个角落!

It is widely noted that lots of traditional culture is disappearing along

with the development of technology. Many ancient architectures and traditional

ways of living have been deserted. It seems that the traditional culture and

craftsmanship will be replaced in this modern era.

The following reasons can account for the above phenomenon. Firstly,

traditional technologies are always considered ineffective while the new

sciences are always highly efficient, because modern science and technology

facilitate both our daily and academic life a lot, with which we can save much

money and time. Secondly, it is costly to protect the traditional culture,

especially the maintenance and repair of the historical buildings.

In my opinion, although traditional culture is an ancient heritage, it

couldnt keep pace with the development of society. It is the tide of history

that the traditional culture and technology will no doubt be eliminated in the

end.

中国历史五千年，各种文化交相辉映，但提到国家前途及发展时却异常地统一，这是中国之所以每每处于最黑暗的时刻总能迅速翻身的最重要理由。只要给中国和平的50年时间，必然能创造出另世人瞩目的辉煌。文化是无形的，就像灵魂一样，就像生命一样，就像智慧一样，就像电一样，是我们非常熟悉的一个存在和能量，但是由于它无形，所以只有附着在一个物体上，或者通过直观的现象表现出来，人们才能感知它。

二千多年前，中国第一代的文化大师孔子、老子、孟子、墨子、荀子等先贤百家争鸣，使中国文化达到了一个至今不能超越的度，他们既不把思考局限在文化专业的小圈子里，又不把思考放任到抽象玄虚的领域，而是在社会秩序构建和国家发展上创造了一个百家争鸣的共同的话语平台。这是他们集体地为中华文化选择的精神方向和深层内涵。

八个字概括，中国文化的核心精神1、自由；2、平等；3、关爱；4、创造。

中国文化自古以来就有其独特的传统。

在绘画和雕刻艺术上，中国画是泼墨写意，西方的油画讲究人体比例和光学原理。比如：中国人为了表现神仙可以飞行就在仙女的脚下加上几朵白云，体现飞的意境。西方人就不能理解我们这种抽象的艺术表现手法，在西方的经典的宗教题材画作中，为了说明天使在飞，就得给那些可爱的小精灵们加上一双翅膀。因为他们只有想到翅膀会飞。在雕刻作品中，中国人更注重想象力和意境，比如一个猴子蹲在马背上，它们的比例相差无几，只是表现了一种意境：马上封侯。而西方的雕刻作品讲求写实和细腻，绝不会出项这种比例失调的艺术作品。

不同的颜色在不同的国家和民族所代表的意义完全不同，对不同颜色的喜好从整体上可以反映一个民族或者国家的审美情趣与好恶倾向。在中国的文化背景里，红色代表着幸运、财富和吉祥喜庆，而在西方人的观念里，红色是在购机大舞台上血的颜色，表示冲动、挑衅和动乱，我们看到西班牙斗牛士拿着红布就是向牛挑战，红色可以激怒斗牛，所以，中国人在喜庆的节日里喜欢穿红色在国际上的衣服，而西方人一般选择蓝色，因为他们觉得蓝色代表冷静和沉着。

同时，我们注重教育，因为我们相信科教兴国才会使一个国家强大，在国际大舞台上发挥自身作用，得到尊重。中国的教育总是对孩子期望过高，孩子被支配、被指责得太多，会变得脆弱，他们最怕犯错误，最怕失败，所以为了避免错误，反而放弃了提出问题的机会，放弃了在失败中学习的过程。长大后，孩子不仅失去了创造和想象的能力，而且会变得患得患失。因为被强压后学习到的知识、思维、逻辑和推理，是被动的。在当今竞争如此无情激烈的世界里，唯有强者方能出成就。中国的教育体系不是塑造一个真实的孩子，总要把孩子变成自己所希望的样子。没有给孩子一个想成为自己的空间，而是别人怎么做你也要怎么做的盲从产物。兴趣对于大人和孩子都是非常重要的，让一个人去做不想做的事，只会事倍功半。尊重孩子，把他看作一个平等的人，与你享受平等的说话权利，批评权利，反抗权利。少年智则国智，少年强则国强。每一个人都需要反思。

在现如今繁华的时代，我们物质上富裕了，而精神上颓废了。我们开始撒钱，开始炫富，我们太看重物质。这一切都与中国优良的传统文化相违背，我们需要反思。作为媒体，把健康的呈现给观众，才会使中国文化得到发扬，向世界证明中国。

“五十六个民族，五十六枝花，五十六个兄弟姐妹是一家，爱我中华……”这首歌时，我就会想到我们伟大的祖国是一个多民族国家，每个民族又有着不同的节日，在云南傣族，每年清明节后的第七天，是他们盛大的泼水节。这一天清晨，傣族男女老少就穿上节日的盛装，挑着清水，先到佛寺浴佛，然后就开始互相泼水，互祝吉祥，幸福，健康。人们一边翩翩起舞，一边高声呼喊：“水!水!水!”锣鼓之声响彻云霄，祝福的水花到处飞溅，场面十分壮观。傣族人们认为，在节日里谁被泼的水最多，他得到的幸福也最多。关于泼水节的来历，有这样生动的传说：很久以前，在傣族聚居的地区出现了一个残暴的魔王，他无恶不作，到处烧杀抢劫，抢夺妇女，弄得庄稼无收，人心不宁，民不聊生。人们受尽了他的残害，对他恨之入骨，可是谁也无法杀死他。

魔王已有6个妻子，可他仍不满足，又抢来一个美丽聪明的姑娘。这7个姑娘们看到自己的同胞过着悲惨的生活，决心找到消灭恶魔的办法。聪明的姑娘们心里恨透了魔王，可表面却不露声色，装着与魔王十分要好。一天夜里，魔王从外面抢回来许多财宝和奴仆，她趁魔王高兴不备时试探问清了用魔王头发可勒死魔王的秘密。于是，夜深人静，趁魔王睡着的时候，姑娘悄悄地拔下了魔王的一根头发，勒住魔王的脖子。顷刻间，魔王的头便滚在地下，可是头一着地，地上就燃起大火。眼看将酿成灾祸，姑娘们立即拾起头颅，大火就熄灭了。但是，魔王的头滚到哪里，哪里便发生灾难，抛到河里，河水泛滥成灾;埋在地下，到处臭气冲天，只有魔王的妻子抱着才平安无事。

为免除灾难祸害百姓，姑娘们便轮流抱着魔王的头，一人抱一天。天上一天，等于地上一年，每年姑娘们轮换的日子，即傣族的新年，傣族人民怀着对姑娘们敬佩的心情，给抱头的姑娘泼一次清水，以便冲去身上的血污和成年的疲惫，作为洗污净身的一种祝福。

后来，傣族人民为纪念这七位机智勇敢的妇女，就在每年的这一天互相泼水，从此形成了傣族辞旧迎新的盛大节日——-泼水节。

我国是一个有着五千年悠久历史的文化古国，中国的传统博大精深，在我们的生活中处处可见：我们学的唐诗宋词、四大名着;我们用的文房四宝;我们吃的中药、喝的茶：还有我们穿的服装、用的瓷器等等。这都是我国的传统文化，它们数不胜数，随处可见。

传统文化也包括节日，我国有各种各样的节日：过春节可以吃到象征幸福平安的饺子;过清明可以拜祭去世的亲人;端午节可以吃到香甜的粽子;中秋节是全家团圆，一起吃月饼、赏月的好日子;重阳节是登高、佩戴茱萸的日子;国庆节是庆祝建设国家的节日……在所有的传统节日里，我最喜欢的还是春节。

在春节那天，大街小巷都洋溢着换了喜庆的气息。家家户户都喜气洋洋，挂上红灯笼，贴上红春联，嘻嘻哈哈地放鞭炮。那些辛勤劳动了一年的人们，在家内出入，脸上都挂着幸福的笑容。大年三十的晚上，人们把各种的食物端上桌，打开电视，边看春晚边吃食物边唠家常，其乐融融。中国的传统文化不只有传统节日，还有传统美德。

雷锋，一个万众皆知的名字，一位普通的解放军战士。他没有沙场上浴血搏杀的经历;更没有什么惊天动地的丰功伟绩：也没有什么豪言壮语，但他有着一颗朴实无华的心，有着乐于助人的精神，仅仅凭这些，他的名字被人们深深的铭记在心。“雷锋出差一千里，好事做了一火车。”这句话是赞美雷锋的，他走到哪里，好事就会做到哪里;他走到哪里，他那帮助别人而又不图回报的思想就会带到哪里。雷锋说过：“如果你是一滴水，你是否滋润了一寸土地?如果你是一线阳光，你是否照亮了一份黑暗?如果你是一粒粮食，你是否哺育了有用的生命?如果你是一颗最小的螺丝钉，你是否永远坚守在自己的生活岗位上……让我们向雷锋学习，献出自己的所有力量去帮助别人，为他人着想。

这，就是中华儿女的传统美德;这，就是中国源远流长的传统文化!

大年三十到了，家家户户都贴起了春联，我也被分配到了任务，往墙上刷黏性很强的热粥。

我手里端着碗，面无表情地在通往老房子的小路上行走，心里是满满的不情愿——这碗里装的又不是什么琼浆玉液，还得让我这么毕恭毕敬地端着它。碗里时不时洒出一些粥，滴在我的手上，又烫又黏，难受极了。

终于抵达目的地了。老房子已经好几年没人住了，院子里长满了一个小孩那么高的杂草，我戴上帽子，跑到了被层层荒草淹没的后门前，还没等拿着春联的爸爸发话，就往门的中间刷了一大块粥，便想逃离了这个是非之地，唉，还是先想想看该怎么往又高又脏的大门上刷这滚烫的粥吧!

说这大门高吧，绝对不是我信口胡说的，我估摸着只能刷到上下联的下半部分，至于横批嘛，想都别想刷到了。

说这大门脏吧，也绝对不冤枉，如果你看见这大门上厚厚的灰尘和几张上面黏着昆虫的蜘蛛网，肯定会连连后退。我硬着头皮把刷子往门上一拍，只是刷子上面粘上了细小的灰尘以及一些不明身份的垃圾，甚至还有一块口香糖。

我慢慢地用刷子把门上的灰尘刷下来，当我再直视这把可怜的刷子时，它上面的白毛已经被灰尘严严实实地包裹住了，就像睡在锅灶前落魄的灰姑娘，看来我是少不了一顿骂了。这贴春联一点都不像对联那样喜气洋洋，倒是十分灰头土脸。

后来，我终于想出了一个自以为很好的办法——把粥刷到春联上不是更方便吗?

说干就干，我把春联平铺在地上，往上面刷上十分均匀的一层粥，大功告成!我顿时觉得脚下轻飘飘的，像踩了一朵云似的。当我拿起春联仔细端详时，才发现春联整张都湿透了，并且软绵绵的，我只是拿在手里看了一下，就掉了一个角，我肯定没有好果子吃了。

唉，这春联贴得……

中国有许多传统的节日，比如春节、元宵节、清明节、端午节、中秋节等，但我最喜欢的就要属过年了。每到春节，家家户户喜贴春联，敲锣打鼓，张灯结彩，辞旧迎新的活动热闹非凡，每一个人的脸上都洋溢着节日的喜悦。但你知道吗，过年为什么会有这些喜庆的活动呢?这里面有着一个美妙的神话故事，现在让我给你讲一讲吧!

相传，中国古时候有一种叫“年”的怪兽，头长触角，凶猛无比。“年”长年深居海底，每到除夕才爬上岸，吞食牲畜，伤害人命。因此，每到除夕这天，村村寨寨的人们都要扶老携幼逃往深山，以躲避“年”兽的伤害。

有一年除夕，半夜时分，“年”兽又闯进村。它发现村里气氛与往年不同：只见村东头老婆婆家里，门贴大红纸，屋内烛火通明。“年”兽浑身一抖，怪叫了一声，便向老婆婆家扑了过去。快到门口时，院内突然传来“劈里啪啦”的炸响声，“年”吓坏了，就再也不敢往前走了。原来“年”最怕红色、火光和炸响。这时，婆婆的家门大开，只见院内一位身披红袍的老人在哈哈大笑。“年”大惊失色，狼狈逃窜了。

从此以后，每到除夕，家家贴红对联，燃放爆竹，户户烛光通明，守更待岁。初一一大早，还要走亲串友道喜问好。后来这风俗越传越广，逐渐成了中华民族最隆重的传统节日------春节。

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.

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.

家里有一个漂亮的中国结，鲜红的大结，加上下面胖乎乎的五个彩色的小绣球，显得更加漂亮。我想：这漂亮东西的来历是什么呢?为此，我专门查了资料：

中国结是中国特有的手工装饰品，始于上古先民的结绳记事。它作为一种装饰艺术始于唐宋时期。到了明清时期，人们开始给结命名，人们开始给结命名，为它赋予了丰富的内涵，如:如意结代表吉祥如意，双鱼结代表吉庆有余等。

中国结的特点是，每个结从头到尾有一根线编结而成，每个基本结又根据其形、意命名。把不同的结饰结合在一起，或用其他有吉祥图案的事物搭配组合，就成了造型独特、绚丽多彩、内涵丰富的传统吉祥饰物。

啊!原来是这样，我抱着漂亮的如意结，想：明年春天，我还要买中国结!

Everyone Needs Help

One day, when I was on my way home, I saw an old man walking slowly around the street Corner. Suddenly he fell down, I ran to him. I couldn’t move him. I look around. Just at that time, I saw a telephone box. I had an idea. I called the police and soon they came. They thanked me for the help. “Everyone needs help.” I said with a smile.

有一天，在我回家的路上，我看到一个老人在街角慢慢的走。突然他摔倒了，我跑了过去。我无法扶起他。我看看周围。就在这时，我看到一个电话亭。我有了一个想法。我打电话给警察局，他们很快就来了。他们感谢我的帮助。“每个人都需要帮助。”我笑着说。

I like Christmas, it is just like our Spring Festival. Maybe the Spring Festival is much more important and interesting than Christmas, but I like Christmas Day better. Because we can spend time with our friends and classmates during Christmas. When it is snowy, Christmas becomes much more lovely, just like in fairytales. I can imagine I am in a fairytale, the girl who sold the matches is my friend, the ugly duck becoming more and more beautiful and so on. What a beautiful place! So we can also call Christmas “Snowy Lovely Day.” On Christmas Day, shops are red and green. There are so many Christmas cards, Christmas hats, Christmas dolls and many colourful things. So shops look very beautiful. We can give a card or a doll to our friends and say “Merry Christmas.” By the way, I think studying can also become much more interesting. Christmas is coming, it also means a new year will come. Let’s study harder to welcome the new year!

In China, students work very hard, for they have a lot of pressure, they have many exams to take, so students are immerged into the books all the time.

周六下午，我们来到了浙江美术馆，参观敦煌莫高窟展览，了解关于敦煌莫高窟的知识。

走进大厅，我一眼就看到了一个巨大的横卧着的佛像，佛像身宽就比一个人站着还要高。佛像手枕着头侧睡着，满脸透着祥和的笑容。

接着，我们走进一个个仿真洞窟。洞窟四周和头顶布满了一幅幅复原的壁画和石刻，人物和物体造型生动、色彩绚丽。有的洞窟中央还置着按真实大小复制的佛像雕塑。这三维立体的洞窟给了我们切切实实的感受，仿佛看到了在茫茫戈壁山崖上，艺人工匠们几百年不辞辛苦留下的艺术瑰宝。

在观看壁画时，我有个疑问：为什么大多画片上的人物神态清晰、颜色鲜艳，而有几幅画片上的颜色近灰黑色，神态表情很模糊?在与讲解员的交流中，我逐渐明白了其中的道理。原来古人在绘画时，使用的颜料是从矿物中提取出来的，里面含有铅，而铅极容易氧化，千年之后，颜料慢慢变色，画面变得模糊了。通过绘制那些清晰的画面，考古工作者和现代艺术家们千方百计为我们还原了一个美丽的莫高窟。讲解员还告诉我们，为了尽量体现原先壁画的质感，复原画家在绘画时还故意画上了些裂缝呢。

接下来，我们亲手实践了用宣纸拓印各种壁画石刻图案，还到三楼欣赏张大千先生对敦煌壁画的临摹。在张大先生的临摹中，线条白描，色彩定位上色，到最后的完整画稿都有，这让我对敦煌艺术的了解更加深刻。

时间过得很快，两个小时一晃就过去了。这次展览让我们身临其境地领略了莫高窟艺术的魅力，受益匪浅。

中国是个古老的国家，传统文化更是源远流长，丰富多彩。其中，书法艺术是我最感兴趣的传统文化。

中国书法是一门古老的艺术，历史悠久，影响着全世界，也是中国最引以为自豪的文化瑰宝之一。

自小我就对方方正正的文字感兴趣，对联、福字的独特魅力深深的吸引着我。六岁开始我就上了书法兴趣班。一开始，毛笔在我手中一点也“不听话”，写出来的字也东倒西歪，难看极了，老师就鼓励我坚持下去，当我写得好的时候，老师就为我鼓掌加油。渐渐地，我写的字也有了进步。

今天是星期五有书法课，跟往常一样我兴高采烈地来到室。书法老师这节课教我们写对联，我可兴奋了。因为马上就是春节，老师说了要是写得好，可以拿自己亲笔写的对联去做义卖，将爱心送给山区的小伙伴们。在认真听完老师讲解分析每个字的笔画要点后我开始一笔一画地练习起“千里之行”几个字来，一会儿王老师走到我的身边仔细看了看轻声说：“这个横的应该再长一些。”随后，老师示范了个“波横”，让我再练练。我觉得“波横”像一座石拱桥，起伏有度。我一边想着每个字的要点，一边结合老师的讲述开始认真的地写起来，经过几遍的练习，每个字都写得那么得心应手了，越看越像老师写的。等书法老师再次从我身过经过时赞赏地笑着说：“进步真大!只要用心多练习，你一定可以当个小小书法家。”老师的鼓励让我信心大增，我越发的喜欢上了有趣的书法。

书法是中国文化的重要组成部分，他是汉字的一种表现形式，体现了中国人民的智慧。我盼望着每个星期五快点到来，我要更加刻苦练习，让书法时刻陪伴我。

端午节是我国古老的传统节日。

传说，屈原是春秋时期楚怀王的大臣。他十分爱国，但常常遭到坏人的陷害。最后，屈原看着自己的祖国被侵略，心如刀割，在五月初五抱着石头跳入汨罗河死亡。屈原死后，百姓们十分悲哀，纷纷来到江边去看望屈原，有位渔夫拿出饭团丢进江里，说是让鱼虾吃饱了，就不会咬屈原的身体了。之后怕饭团被蛟龙所食，人们想出用树叶包饭，用彩带缠住，包成粽子投入江里。

因此从今以后每年的五月初五这天，家家户户都会包粽子来纪念这位英雄。粽子不仅仅有着神话般的来历，而且有着特殊的味道。

粽子十分好吃，它的形状是四角形的。翠绿的芦苇叶是它的外衣，雪白的糯米是它的身体，鲜红的枣子是它的心脏。煮熟以后，剥开墨绿色的叶子，洁白的米团里仿佛镶着几颗红宝石，晶莹剔透，好看极了，真是不忍心把它吃掉。但又受不了它那股芦苇叶香味的诱惑，迫不及待地咬上一口，甜甜的、黏黏的，吃在嘴里那清新的感觉，仿佛走入了大自然一般。因此，我十分爱吃粽子。

粽子虽然好吃，但别只顾着自己吃哦，也要让爷爷、奶奶、爸爸、妈妈尝一尝呀，让他们一齐来感受一下端午节的快乐。
