中秋节的习俗英语高中作文(20篇)

Its about one and a half month away from the Chinese New Year, It is a festival celebrated by the Chinese people at the beginning of the lunar calendar year.

As of the Chinese traditional customs, our parents and grandparents will sweep every corner of the house and clean the windows until they gleam, and washing clothes, buying foods and goods for the new years future use and presents.

Children will be the most benefited group during this feast period. One month before that, they are expecting the new clothes, delicious foods. The firecrackers and the years allowance for their increased ages.

In recent years, with the rising of the standard of life, Chinese tend to make various holiday plans to spend a different and meaningful new year. Such as traveling abroad, or be absorbed in their hobbies, and even work.

Why today we try to spend our Chinese new year in such a different way? I think thats because this is a era of free life and personality high-ranking. Though there are still something traditional, our young generation is attempting to make something new and suitable for ourselves. And we would like to take something really worth to be cherished in our memorable treasures. Thats amazing and wonderful!

Ill always keep in mind that the Chinese new year is a great feast inherited from our ancestors, but if necessary, I would like to enjoy it by some ways personal.

This winter is freezing cold. I didn’t have any desire to go out for play.

I always stayed at home. Actually, most of the time I was in my bed. When I felt

anxious for staying inside too long, I will go near the window to wach the

children building snowman or throwing snowballs. It seemed very interesting. But

I just didn’t want to go out. Later my mother found that I was so lazy. Then she

forced me to go out. Since my mother said, I have no excuse to reject. My mother

is right. Though the outside was icy, it’s fantastic. Everything smells fresh.

Since then, I went outside everyday, and then did my homework and felt full of

energy. The holiday ended very soon. It was a lazy holiday.

正月十五吃元宵，在我国是由来已久习俗。人们在元宵节吃汤圆，实际上是思念亲人、渴望团圆的意思。

Eating Tangyuan is an important tradition for the Lantern Festival. Tangyuan, also know as yuanxiao, is a Chinese food made from glutinous rice flour mixed with a small amount of water to form balls and is then cooked and served in boiling water.

吃汤圆是元宵节的一项重要习俗。汤圆，又名“元宵”，是由糯米粉等做的球形食品，一般有馅料，煮熟带汤吃。

Traditionally, the balls come stuffed with sweet black sesame paste, although the fillings can vary. Tangyuan are eaten during Lantern Festival because of a homophone for union.

通常用黑芝麻做馅，但又不仅限于黑芝麻。据说元宵象征合家团圆美好，吃元宵意味着新的一年合家幸福、团团圆圆，所以正月十五元宵必备。

Decorating and hanging lanterns is the main tradition of the festival, with lanterns big and small hung around households, parks, streets and other public spaces. Red lanterns of various shape and type will attract countless visitors to watch.

正月十五赏花灯是元宵节必有的另一项习俗。人们把大大小小的花灯悬挂于家门口、公园、街道或者其他公共场所。各式各样的红灯笼将会吸引无数的游客前来观赏。

Solving riddles on lanterns has been a popular tradition since the Song Dynasty. People write riddles on paper and stick them to the lanterns and if someone guesses correctly, they can pull the riddle off. The notes often contain messages of good fortune and wishes.

从宋代开始，猜灯谜就是一项非常受欢迎的民俗活动。人们把谜语写到纸上并悬之于灯，供人猜射。通常，谜底都是各种吉祥话和祝福。

The lion dance is one of the oldest traditions to celebrate the Chinese New Year. In ancient times, people regarded the lion as a symbol of bravery and strength and believed the dance could drive away bad fortune to protect people and their livestock. The custom has continued to the modern day and lion dances are performed at important events on the Chinese calendar, such as the Lantern Festival, to bring good luck.

舞狮子是另一项庆祝新春的古老习俗。在古代，人们把狮子作为勇气和力量的象征，认为舞狮可以消灾降福。所以舞狮子的传统就延续至今，并且每逢佳节或庆典，如元宵节都会以舞狮子来祈求好运。

Dragon dance is a form of traditional dance and performance in Chinese culture. Like the lion dance it is most often seen in festival celebration. The dance is performed by a team of dancers who manipulate a long flexible figure of a dragon using poles positioned at regular intervals along the length of the dragon.

舞龙灯是中国独具特色的民俗活动。与舞狮子一样，每逢佳节，人们都要耍龙灯。表演者由数十人组成，每人用一杆间隔支撑起一条长龙。

Chinese dragons are a symbol of China, and they are believed to bring good luck to people, therefore the longer the dragon in the dance, the more luck it will bring to the community.

龙是中国的象征，相传龙能够带来吉祥和好运。耍的龙灯越长，就越能给当地人民带来好运。因此，每逢春节、元宵节，人们都会举行耍龙灯的活动。

Walking on stilts, or Cai Gaoqiao, is another popular traditional performance for the Lantern Festival, especially in Northern China. According to the archives, our Chinese ancestors began using stilts to help them gather fruits from trees. This practical use of stilts gradually developed into a kind of folk dance.

踩高跷是元宵节的另外一项重要民俗，尤其是在北方地区。根据记载，我们的祖先踩高跷是为了从树上摘果子。之后，高跷就发展成为一种群众性技艺表演艺术。

中秋节是家家团圆的日子，今年的中秋节也不例外，我是在外婆家度过的。

今天中午我去了外婆家吃饭。开饭了!哇!好丰盛呀!有素的、有肉的。看，还有一个特色菜，你们猜猜是什么?你们一定猜不到，公布答案：螃蟹!这时我用疑惑的目光看着螃蟹，问道“这东西怎么吃啊?”外公笑着回答：“让我来帮你吧!”只见外公拿来了钳子，夹住螃蟹腿儿轻轻一使劲就开了，外公再一挤，鲜嫩的肉出来了，再蘸一蘸酱，然后送到我嘴边，说道：“给你，吃吧!”我张开口，轻轻一吸，哇!好鲜美的螃蟹肉呀!我和外公都吃撑了，大家都很高兴，这真是一顿幸福的团圆饭。

晚上回到家里八点整，中秋晚会开始了，我们一家三口坐在沙发上津津有味地看了起来。这时，爸爸给我讲起了中秋节的来历：

相传，远古时候天上有十个太阳同时出现，一个名叫后羿的英雄，他同情受苦的百姓，一口气射下九个太阳，并严令最后一个太阳按时起落，为民造福。后羿因此受到百姓的尊敬和爱戴，后羿娶了一个美丽善良的妻子，名叫嫦娥。一天，后羿巧遇王母娘娘，便向王母娘娘求得一包长生不老药。据说，服下此药，能即刻升天成仙。然而，后羿把药交给嫦娥珍藏。三天后，后羿外出，坏人逼迫嫦娥交出不死药，危机之时她当机立断，拿出不死药一口吞了下去，嫦娥吞下药，向天上飞去，由于嫦娥牵挂丈夫，便飞到了离人间最近的月亮上成了仙。

傍晚，后羿回到家，因思念妻子，只好到嫦娥喜爱的后花园里，放上平时她爱吃的蜜桃鲜果，遥祭在月宫中的嫦娥。百姓们闻知嫦娥奔月的消息后，纷纷在月光下摆设香案，向善良的嫦娥祈求平安。

从此，中秋节拜月的风俗在民间传开了。

爸爸讲完了，我终于知道了中秋节的来历，原来中秋节还有这么美丽的传说!

今年中秋我玩的真快乐，我希望把中秋的节日文化发扬光大，让全世界来感受一下中秋节的乐趣。

每年的端午节我们都要吃粽子、赛龙舟、悬艾叶、我最喜欢看赛龙舟的比赛了，这比赛并不是为了争谁第一水第二，是为了在观众面前展示他们娴熟的技能与美好的姿态。

我先来说说粽子吧。粽子是用墨绿色的芦叶包裹一着糯米和枣子。煮熟后，剥一开芦叶，只见米一团一里仿佛镶着几颗深红油亮的玛瑙，很好看。粽子的的味道美极了，芦叶散发着清香，咬一口粽子，甜而不腻。

粽子还有一个悠久的故事。传说吃粽子是为了纪念古代诗人屈原。屈原一生写过许多著名的诗篇，提出过许多爱国的政治主张，但是君王不采纳。后来君王沦丧，他满怀忧愤跳江自尽。人民还念他，崇敬他。两千多年来，人们把粽子投入江中，当做献给诗人的祭品。——这就是粽子的由来。是的，每逢端午节，人们怎么会忘记伟大的诗人屈原呢?

民谚说："清明插柳，端午插艾"。在端午节，人们把插艾和菖蒲作为重要内容之一。家家都洒扫庭除，以菖蒲、艾条插于门眉，悬于堂中。并用菖蒲、艾叶、榴花、蒜头、龙船花，制成|人形或虎形，称为艾人、艾虎;制成花环、佩饰，美丽芬芳，妇人争相佩戴，用以驱瘴。

艾，又名家艾、艾蒿。它的茎、叶都含有挥发性芳一香油。它所产生的奇特芳一香，可驱蚊蝇、虫蚁，净化空气。中医学上以艾入药，有理气血、暖子一宫、祛寒湿的功能。将艾叶加工成"艾绒"，是灸法治病的重要药材。

It is widely accepted that to work independently has the obvious advantage

that it can prove one’s ability. However, I believe that teamwork is more

important in the modern society and teamwork sprit has become a required quality

by more and more companies.

In the first place, we are situated in a complicated society and we often

encounter tough problems that are beyond our ability. It is especially at this

moment that teamwork proves to be exceedingly important. With the help of the

team, these problems can be solved easily and quickly, which could improve work

efficiency.

In the second place, teamwork provides a chance to cooperate with workmate,

it will make a friendly and enjoyable work environment, which is an important

factor influencing employees’ belief in the company as a good workplace.

Finally, teamwork contributes to the prosperity of the companies. With all

workmates’ knowledge combined, the companies possess high work efficiency and an

ability to deal with whatever problems. As a result, the companies can make more

profits and develop more quickly.

In sum, teamwork is very important, no one could live individually, they

must rely on others in some way. Hence, work together could make life

easier.

Dear editor,

I’m writing to tell you about the discussion we have had about whether an entrance fee should be charged for parks. 60% of us schoolmates think that an entrance fee do not meet people’s expectations, for a park is considered to be a place where the public can have a good time when they are not busy either at home or at work. If an entrance fee must be paid by the visitors for a park, it will be necessary to build a gate and surrounding walls. In the end a city will take on a bad look. 40% of us schoolmates think that an entrance fee can be accepted, but it must not be too expensive. The money from ticket selling can be used for paying the gardeners in the park and buying some other kinds of flowers and trees.

With regard to myself, I think an entrance fee is useful, for it can be used to protect a park. Do we share the same opinion, dear editor?

Yours truly,

Li Hua

people is interesting, wchich can broaden my field of vision. I hope they can

The Importance of Details

"The devil is always in the details" is a proverb which means that details determine our success. Therefore, this quotation aims to tell us that every detail is important enough to be paid attention to.

Some people may think that one who wants to achieve great success shouldnt pay much attention to details，but those who desire to do something big at once will constantly be haunted by disappointment, frustration or even failures，as when something big " shows up，they can hardly seize the opportunity because of the lack of ability to deal with small things. Keeping an eye on details may help us in many ways. For instance, when we were small children, we were sometimes very careless and there were many lapses in our homework, but if we could pay much more attention to these trifles, we would get a higher mark in the exam. Whats more, when we make decisions, making every detail clear will reduce risks.

To sum up，under no circumstances should we undervalue the importance of details, for paying attention to small things is the first step of success and will lay root for doing something big.

刚刚开学就迎来了传统的中秋佳节，由于最近一直奔波于苏州上海之间，所以我决定留在了学校度过高中学习中的第一个中秋节。下午的时候就听说我们要自己做饭，然后和汪老师一起吃月饼赏月，在忙碌中就到了晚上六点多，师妹来了，匆匆地催我们，汪老师已经去了，快点吧。等到的时候，看到了偌大的桌子上，摆满了菜，连碗筷酒杯挤在空隙里，丰盛的大席。真的感叹，现在的体育系师弟真厉害，这样的一桌菜都能给做出来，且色香味俱全，体育出生的男生找女友时要更加的抢手了。赏月的环节大家比较八卦，调侃了身在美国的郭强博士，并给他传递了中秋的祝福，并向他炫耀我们吃到了汪老师珍藏的冰月饼。

欢声笑语中，我们感受到的是汪老师和善可亲、幽默风趣和率直真诚，这与平时的雷厉风行、严格要求和精益求精的风格完全不一样。都说做汪老师的学生很苦，很累，而也只有付出才会有收获，更何况人都是有惰性的，自觉得偏向悠闲安逸的生活，而这种生活又很容易让我们“停滞不前，被生活所累的”。一件接一件的事情锻炼了我们处理事情的能力和效率;一个个挑战性的任务在撞击我们的能力底线，让我们不得不从头开始学起;一次次的修改培养了我们追求完美、凡事做到让自己满意，负责的态度。我发现汪老师这里有我永远也学不完的财富，能再次成为她的学生我感觉的是幸福。

Luckily, we human beings have realized the problem. On April 22nd, millions of people across the world do something good for the earth. Some clean up beaches and water, some pick up rubbish, others give speeches to call on more people to take action. But can we save the earth only by one day’s work? The future of our planet depends on our efforts. What we should do is to make every day Earth Day. Only by taking good care of it every day can we hope to live in harmony with nature.

在湖南的衡阳“中秋晚，有送瓜”一事。凡席丰履原之家，娶妇数年不育者，则亲友举行送瓜，先数日，于菜园中窃冬瓜一个，须令园主不知，以彩色绘成面目，衣服裹于其上若人形。举年长命好者抱之，“鸣金放炮，送至其家”年长者置冬瓜于床，以被覆之，门中念日，种瓜得瓜，种豆得豆。受瓜者设盛筵款待之，若再事然。妇得瓜后，即剖食之。俗传此事最验云“。在衡阳，凡是村里结了婚没有生育儿女的人家，”只要人缘好，村里都会有人给他们“送子”。

在湖南的其他地区，也有以瓜送子的习俗，与衡阳类似、中秋节晚上，趁主人赏月不在屋时，要好的邻居就秘密地为他送子。送子的人必须是已经有儿女的人。他们先选中村里最恶的一户人家的瓜园，从园中偷一只大冬瓜，在瓜上画娃娃的面目，再用一节五寸长的小竹管插入冬瓜腹内，顺着竹管往里灌水，直到灌满为止。送子人将冬瓜藏在主人的被窝中，等主人回房睡觉时用手拉被，冬瓜娃娃一动，水便顺着竹管流了出来，就像小孩尿床一样。而丢瓜的人家一早起来便骂，据说，骂得越凶，将来生的娃娃越健壮。如果第二年真的生了儿女，便要儿女拜送子的人“干爹”、“干妈”。

在贵州也有偷瓜送子的习俗。晚上偷瓜时故意让被偷的人知道，以惹起怒骂，骂得越厉害越好。瓜偷来后，要为它穿上衣服画上眉，装成小孩的形状，敲锣打鼓，用竹舆抬送，送到无子的人家，接受瓜的人必须请送瓜人吃一顿月饼，然后陪伴着瓜睡一夜，第二天早晨将瓜煮熟吃掉，认为从此便能怀孕了。

安徽歙县一带，中秋节时，大人们让稚童愉人家的倭瓜或者连娘带子的子母芋，泥水淋漓地放到新婚人家的被子里，弄得床褥极脏。用这种方式表示送子。有诗说：“送子中秋记美谈，瓜丁芋子总宜男。无辜最惜红绫被，带水拖泥那可堪。”

中秋节是个古老的节日，祭月赏月是节日 的重要习俗。古代帝王有春天祭日，秋天祭 月的社制，民家也有中秋祭月之风，到了后 来赏月重于祭月，严肃的祭祀变成了轻松的 欢娱。中秋赏月的风俗在唐代极盛，许多诗 人的名篇中都有咏月的诗句，宋代、明代、 清代宫廷和民间的拜月赏月活动更具规模。 我国各地至今遗存着许多“拜月坛”、“拜 月亭”、“望月楼”的古迹。北京的“月坛”就是明嘉靖年 间为皇家祭月修造的。 每当中秋月亮升起，于露天设案，将 月饼、石榴、枣子等瓜果供于桌案上，拜月 后，全家人围桌 而坐，边吃边谈，共赏明月。现在，祭月拜月活动已被规模 盛 大、多彩多姿的群众赏月游乐活动所替代。

吃月饼是节日的另一习俗，月饼象征着团圆。月饼的制作从唐代以后越来越考 究。苏东坡有诗写道：“小饼如嚼 月，中 有酥和饴”，清朝杨光辅写道：“月饼饱 装桃肉馅，雪糕甜砌蔗糖霜”。看来当时 的月饼和现在已颇为相 近了。

根据史籍的记载，“中秋”一词最早出现在《周礼》一书中。到魏晋时，有“谕尚书镇牛淆，中秋夕与左右微服泛江”的记载。直到唐朝初年，中秋节才成为固定的节日。《唐书·太宗记》记载有“八月十五中秋节”。中秋节的盛行始于宋朝，至明清时，已与元旦齐名，成为我国的主要节日之一。这也是我国仅次于春节的第二大传统节日。

西湖游览志余》中说：“八月十五谓中秋，民间以月饼相送，取团圆之意”。《帝京景物略》中也说：“八月十五祭月，其饼必圆，分瓜必牙错，瓣刻如莲花。……其有妇归宁者，是日必返夫家，曰团圆节。中秋晚上，我国大部分地区还有烙“团圆”的习俗，即烙一种象征团圆、类似月饼的小饼子，饼内包糖、芝麻、桂花和蔬菜等，外压月亮、桂树、兔子等图案。祭月之后，由家中长者将饼按人数分切成块，每人一块，如有人不在家即为其留下一份，表示合家团圆。

中秋节时，云稀雾少，月光皎洁明亮，民间除了要举行赏月、祭月、吃月饼祝福团圆等一系列活动，有些地方还有舞草龙，砌宝塔等活动。除月饼外，各种时令鲜果干果也是中秋夜的美食。

中秋节起源的另一个说法是：农历八月十五这一天恰好是稻子成熟的时刻，各家都拜土地神。中秋可能就是秋报的遗俗。

一、中秋节的由来

今年的9月19日，即农历八月十五，是中国的传统节日之一，中秋佳节。

据史籍记载，古代帝王祭月的节期为农历八月十五，时日恰逢三秋之半，故名“中秋节”；又因为这个节日在秋季八月，故又称“秋节”、“八月节”、“八月会”、“中秋节”；又有祈求团圆的信仰和相关习俗活动，故亦称“团圆节”、“女儿节”。因中秋节的主要活动都是围绕“月”进行的，所以又俗称“月节”、“月夕”、“追月节”、“玩月节”、“拜月节”；在唐朝，中秋节还被称为“端正月”。[1]

中秋节始于唐朝初年，盛行于宋朝，至明清时，已与元旦齐名，成为中国的主要节日之一。受中华文化的影响，中秋节也是东南亚和东北亚一些国家尤其是生活在当地的华人华侨的传统节日。虽然同为中秋，但各国习俗不同。

中秋一词，最早见于《周礼》，《礼记·月令》上说：“仲秋之月养衰老，行糜粥饮食。”至于中秋节何时固定有八月十五日，根据历史学家研究指出，中秋节起源应为隋末唐军于大业十三年八月十五日，唐军裴寂以圆月作为构思，成功发明月饼，并广发军中作为军饷，成功解决因大量吸收反隋义军而衍生之军粮问题

二、中秋节的传统活动

祭月

《礼记》早有记载“秋暮夕月”，意为拜祭月神，逢此时则要举行迎寒和祭月，设香案。到了周代，每逢中秋夜都要举行迎寒和祭月。设大香案，摆上月饼、西瓜、苹果、红枣、李子、葡萄等祭品，其中月饼和西瓜是绝对不能少的，西瓜还要切成莲花状。在月下，将月亮神像放在月亮的那个方向，红烛高燃，全家人依次拜祭月亮，然后由

当家主妇切开团圆月饼。切的人预先算好全家共有多少人，在家的，在外地的，都要算在一起，不能切多也不能切少，大小要一样。

赏月

至唐宋时期，赏月之风更盛，也有祭月的仪式。在北宋京师。八月十五夜，满城人家，不论贫富老小，都要穿上成人的衣服，焚香拜月说出心愿，祈求月亮神的保佑。南宋，民间以月饼相赠，取团圆之义。中秋节之夜有一大特色赏月活动叫“走月”。皎洁的月光下，人们衣着华美，三五结伴，或游街市，或乏舟秦淮河，或登楼观赏月华，谈笑风生。明代南京建有望月楼、玩月桥，清代狮子山下有朝月楼，都是游人“走月”时的赏月胜地。而解放后建的莫愁湖公园之抱月楼，则成了市民赏月的新景点。

观潮

在古代，浙江一带除中秋赏月外，观潮可谓是又一中秋盛事。中秋观潮的风俗由来已久，早在汉代枚乘的《七发》赋中就有了相当详尽的记述。汉以后，中秋观潮之风更盛。明朱廷焕《增补武林旧事》和宋吴自牧《梦粱录》也有观潮记载。

燃灯

明清时期，民间还有在中秋之夜燃灯的习俗。中秋夜点的是宝塔灯，主要在南方流行。宝塔灯，即由村童捡拾瓦砾搭成宝塔形状的灯。清代苏州村民在旷野用瓦叠成七级宝塔，中间供地藏王，四周燃灯，称为“塔灯”。广州儿童燃“番塔灯”，用碎瓦为之；还有柚皮灯，用红柚皮雕刻各种人物花草，中间安放一个琉璃盏，红光四射。

猜谜

中秋月圆夜在公共场所挂着许多灯笼，人们都聚集在一起，猜灯笼身上写的谜语，因为是大多数年轻男女喜爱的活动，同时在这些

活动上也传出爱情佳话，因此中秋猜灯谜也被衍生了一种男女相恋的形式。

吃月饼

中秋节赏月赏月和吃月饼是中国各地过中秋节的必备习俗，俗话说：“八月十五月正圆，中秋月饼香又甜”。月饼一词，源于南宋吴自牧的《梦梁录》，那时仅是一种点心食品。到后来人们逐渐把赏月与月饼结合在一起，寓意家人团圆，寄托思念。同时，月饼也是中秋时节朋友间用来联络感情的重要礼物。

玩花灯

中秋没有像元宵节那样的大型灯会，玩灯主要只是在家庭、儿童之间进行的。早在北宋《武林旧事》中，记载中秋夜节俗，就有‘将“一点红”灯放入江中漂流玩耍的活动。中秋玩花灯，多集中在南方。如佛山秋色会上，就有各种各式的彩灯：芝麻灯、蛋壳灯、刨花灯、稻草灯、鱼鳞灯、谷壳灯、瓜籽灯及鸟兽花树灯等。

三、嫦娥奔月的传说

相传，远古时候天上有十日同时出现，晒得庄稼枯死，民不聊生，一个名叫后羿的英雄，力大无穷，他同情受苦的百姓，登上昆仑山顶，运足神力，拉开神弓，一气射下九个多太阳，并严令最后一个太阳按时起落，为民造福。

后羿因此受到百姓的尊敬和爱戴，后羿娶了个美丽善良的妻子，名叫嫦娥。后羿除传艺狩猎外，终日和妻子在一起，人们都羡慕这对郎才女貌的恩爱夫妻。不少志士慕名前来投师学艺，心术不正的蓬蒙也混了进来。

一天，后羿到昆仑山访友求道，巧遇由此经过的王母娘娘，便向王母求得一包不死药。据说，服下此药，能即刻升天成仙。然而，

后羿舍不得撇下妻子，只好暂时把不死药交给嫦娥珍藏。嫦娥将药藏进梳妆台的百宝匣里，不料被小人蓬蒙看见了，他想偷吃不死药自己成仙。三天后，后羿率众徒外出狩猎，心怀鬼胎的蓬蒙假装生病，留了下来。待后羿率众人走后不久，蓬蒙手持宝剑闯入内宅后院，威逼嫦娥交出不死药。嫦娥知道自己不是蓬蒙的对手，危急之时她当机立断，转身打开百宝匣，拿出不死药一口吞了下去。嫦娥吞下药，身子立时飘离地面、冲出窗口，向天上飞去。由于嫦娥牵挂着丈夫，便飞落到离人间最近的月亮上成了仙。

傍晚，后羿回到家，侍女们哭诉了白天发生的事。后羿既惊又怒，抽剑去杀恶徒，蓬蒙早逃走了，后羿气得捶胸顿足，悲痛欲绝，仰望着夜空呼唤爱妻的名字，这时他惊奇地发现，今天的月亮格外皎洁明亮，而且有个晃动的身影酷似嫦娥。他拼命朝月亮追去，可是他追三步，月亮退三步，他退三步，月亮进三步，无论怎样也追不到跟前。

后羿无可奈何，又思念妻子，只好派人到嫦娥喜爱的后花园里，摆上香案，放上她平时最爱吃的蜜食鲜果，遥祭在月宫里眷恋着自己的嫦娥。百姓们闻知嫦娥奔月成仙的消息后，纷纷在月下摆设香案，向善良的嫦娥祈求吉祥平安。

从此，中秋节拜月的风俗在民间传开了。

明月几时有？把酒问青天。不知天上宫阙，今夕是何年。我欲乘风归去，又恐琼楼玉宇，高处不胜寒。起舞弄清影，何似在人间？

转朱阁，低绮户，照无眠。不应有恨，何事长向别时圆？人有悲欢离合，月有阴晴圆缺，此事古难全。但愿人长久，千里共婵娟。

我相信在我们还是小孩的时候，我们就被教导要学会与人分享。起初，我不是很明白。

但现在我慢慢地了解了。分享快乐会让我更加快乐，而和朋友分享我的悲伤也会减轻我的悲伤。

当我告诉我的朋友我在朗诵比赛上取得第一名的时候，他们都向我表示祝贺，并说了很多好话，这让我感到更开心。

当被老师责备时，我告诉我的朋友，说出来能让我感到舒服。此外，他们的安慰也能让我感到更舒适。

更重要的是，分享我的经验给他们，能够帮助他们使我感到很满足。不管怎么说，与别人分享我的情感，事情让我觉得很棒。你最好也努力尝试着分享，之后你就会明白了。
