The waste of the Spring Festival is four:...

Everyone singing and laughing, the scene is beautiful now singing, now dancing! Let us reduce the waste of the Spring Festival, happy happy year, red and red fire in an auspicious year!

我的家乡在长江以北，这儿有许多习俗。下面我就给大家说说家乡过年的习俗吧。我们这儿过春节，大概进入腊月就开始了。

在腊月初八这天，家家要熬腊八粥。腊月二十三二十四，这两天是祭灶的日子。天一黑，鞭炮就接连响了起来。祭灶就是祭灶王爷，要为他摆上祭品，感谢他一年来的工作。祭灶就这两天，而不是其他日子。因此我们这儿有“君祭三，民祭四，老王八祭五，贼祭六。”的说法。祭灶时，通常家里要彻底大扫除一次，接着就要储备过年的物品了。大年三十真热闹。家家做年菜，人人穿新衣。

不少人家早早贴上了春联，说这样就没有人来要账了。这一晚，家家灯火通宵达旦，鞭炮鸣声不绝于耳。吃过晚饭后，一家人坐在一起聊天看春晚，小孩给长辈磕头(不是真磕，有那个意思即可)，为的就是装满自己的腰包。这一夜还要守岁，要熬到夜里十二点。我是熬不到时间，看着电视就睡着了。正月初一，人们携着大包小包，去亲戚朋友家拜年。进入正月，不少地方陆续举行庙会。庙会上，小贩们摆摊卖饮料、食品、各种玩具等等。来自四面八方的人们都来赶庙会，很是热闹。正月十五元宵节，处处张灯结彩，家家挂起灯笼。晚上吃过元宵，孩子们燃放鞭炮，和家人一起放许愿灯，让它带着自己美好的愿望高飞。过了十五，年就过去了。

孩子们开始上学，大人们照常做事。而我又想着下一个年了。

春节是所有学生盼望的节日，但是与此同时老师会留一些作业，你是否还在为怎么写而苦恼，以下是考试吧为大家整理搜索的关于春节习俗的，供大家参考学习。

春节是我们中国农历的新年，所以过年对我们中国人而言非常重要的！因此，春节前的准备也是必不可少的。

过年了！过年了！家家户户忙着贴春联，剃头发，做年夜饭……要做的事情太多了，而且“规矩”太多了！有些习俗还很怪，无奈之下，我就去问正在贴春联的妈妈。

我看见妈妈将“福”字倒着贴，我固然知道为什么要倒着贴，将‘福’字倒着贴是一种习俗，‘福’倒贴说明‘福’倒（到）了！但我仍然问道：“过年有什么习俗和规矩啊？”妈妈停下手中的活，耐心地给我谈起来。

原来，以前过年还有一种放鞭炮的习俗，来源于“年兽”的故事。很久以前有一只“年兽”，长期居住深海底，到了除夕就跃出海面到处作恶。有一年一个老人用放炮，穿红衣，贴红春联的方法驱赶走“年兽”，这才得以平静，此后这个方法就流传开来。但是现在广州禁止燃放烟花爆竹，所以我们就不再进行这个活动了。

除夕这一天对我国来说是极为重要的。这天晚上，我们全家准备除旧迎新，吃团年饭。

吃年夜饭，是春节家家户户最热闹愉快的时候。大年夜．丰盛的年菜摆满一桌，全家团聚，围坐桌旁，共吃团圆饭。人们既是享受满桌的佳肴，也是享受那份快乐的气氛，桌上有鸡、鹅、烧肉等等，一般少不了两样东西，一是火锅，一是鱼。火锅热气腾腾，说明红红火火；“鱼”和“余”谐音，喻意“年年有余”。最后一道甜食，祝福往后的日子甜甜蜜蜜。

今天我的收获太大了，知道了很多过年习俗的知识，不过我觉得有点迷信。但这又仿佛是一种乐趣，只要快乐就好，何必迷信不迷信？更何况这是传统的习俗，宁可信其有不可信其无啊！

《给亲戚拜年》

”噼噼叭叭“，阵阵清脆的鞭炮声迎来了大年初一，我和爸爸，妈妈一起去给亲戚们拜年。

”砰砰砰“，我敲响了大姨家的门。门开了，大姨抱着妹妹笑吟吟地迎了出来。”大姨，妹妹，新年好!“我一进门就向大姨祝贺新年。大家互相问候着新年，大姨忙着给我们泡茶水，拿出了很多好吃的，最令我惊喜的是给了我包了二百块钱的红包呢!这时，我的伯伯不在家，我便问”大姨，伯伯呢“”唉，他呀，整天就知道忙工作，家里什么都不管。这不，大年初一都到去值班去了。“她假装生气地说。可我才不相信她真的生气了呢，她脸上还带着微笑呢。

告别了大姨和妹妹，我又踏上了去老家的火车。我外公外婆还有另外一个大姨家在娄底，要向娄底进发了——!坐了两个半小时的火车，终于到了娄底火车站。我外公家住在火车站旁边，我三步并作两步往外公家跑去。一进门，外公就迎进来了。”外公，恭喜发财，红包拿来!“外公笑得合不拢嘴，连忙给了我一个红包，我打开一看，嗨，又有二百元!呵呵，我今年可是收入可观呀!

在外公家吃了中饭，我们又来到了大姨家，哥哥早就等在楼下了，正在放鞭炮呢!看见哥哥是我最开心的事了，因为他总是能想出很多好玩的鬼点子。他迫不及待地拉着我一起他家玩起赛车游戏，好刺激啊!

这一天过得真快，转眼就到了快天黑的时候。大姨的厨艺在我们家族中可是最好的了，晚上肯定要留下来品尝她为我们准备的丰盛晚餐啦!面对着一桌子香喷喷的饭菜，我们一大家子围坐在桌边，每个人脸上都洋溢着幸福的笑容，我真的感到了”生活比蜜甜“的滋味呢!

过年真好，我不禁开始盼望明年的新年了!

[新年英语作文之春节习俗

Mid-autumn day is a special festival in China, which is one of the traditional Chinese festivals. It falls on the 15th day of Augustlunar month every year. Our Chinese will celebrate it on that day. I think there are not too many people can reject the temptation of it. I like this festival very much. I have two reasons.

First of all, Mid-autumn has the deep meaning of reunion. In China, people regard Mid-autumn day as very important, so no matter where they are, they will come back to their family if there is a chance. They don’t like celebrate this festival outside, which will make them feel lonely. Thus, they will go home by all means. Luckily, the government also pays great attention to this traditional festival. There are laws tomake sure people have holidays on that special day. In the other word, mid-autumn festival gives a chance for family get together.

Secondly, every family will prepare a big meal on that day. All the food is delicious. It is good to have a big meal. I think nobody will not interested in delicious food. The mooncake is a necessary decoration forMid-autumn day. It tastes good, too. It is the tradition for a long time. How pleased to enjoy the glorious full moon with mooncake!

This is why I love Mid-autumn festival so much.

Notes：

With the bursts of firecrackers. The celebration of the Spring Festival comes at last.

However, at the same time, people play a lot of waste. According to the survey, the waste of the Spring Festival is 10 times as much as usual (non holiday). These figures are really to be counted, and you can imagine how amazing it is. So, at the same time, we do not forget to save.

The waste of food is especially serious during the Spring Festival. The new year, we have to prepare enough things in the supermarket to buy special purchases for the Spring Festival, convenient to move home; there are people who work units, friends. The source of special purchases for the Spring Festival not put, the home refrigerator, but on the outside. But just a few days later, the weather is getting warmer. The thing broke out immediately, couldnt eat it, and had to throw it away. There are also years of night meal, in order to be rich, all families have bought a lot of things, but they can eat very little, and finally there is a lot of surplus. “ more than &rdquo in years; a good omen, but the remaining things, but in the case of no one, were poured into the ditch or the roadside. New years festival is the peak of consumption. At this time for the Spring Festival shopping, eat and drink, do special purchases for the Spring Festival can. However, do not forget to save in the consumption, to eliminate waste.

In addition to the waste of food, the waste of the new year is very serious. In our lives, there is often a waste of electricity. As far as our family is concerned, thirty nights in the big year, the lanterns are hung up on my house, all night, and how much electricity is consumed. Also, in order to have a good sign, on the thirty night houses are the lights lit, night lights, electricity consumption as can be imagined how much.

There is a lot of waste in the Spring Festival. For example, gifts are given during the Spring Festival, which also presents the waste of gift packaging. Some units send gifts to employees in the new year, and everything is covered with beautiful packaging. It is too big to take home, but when the packing is removed, the original thing is much smaller. These packages are about half of the space, and most of them are new, so its a bit wasteful. Many shopping malls, supermarkets can see, many for the gift of people in the selection of those exquisite gift boxes. There is only two bottles of wine in a box that looks like the size of a normal TV screen. A lot of gifts are packed in layer after layer, so people dont know what it is inside. Its even doubted that the box is worth more than the inside. During the Spring Festival, the packing box is the most important time. It did cause a lot of waste of paper and plastic.

“ save the resources, start from me. ” to eliminate waste, the key is to start from yourself, start from small things, start from now!

As has been reported in the newspapers, the sale of firecrackers and fireworks in Beijing was reduced by 52% this Spring Festival compared with last year. This shows that people have begun to change their ideas about celebration.   Firecrackers and fireworks used to be one of the main causes of air pollution and the most important cause of injury during the Spring Festival. Now with fewer firecrackers and fireworks, we see a much clearer sky and many fewer people with injuries, which hasresulted in a much happier festival atmosphere both outside in the street and inside at home. So we can predict that we will see a better environment next year.

快过年了，今年我们是回爷爷家过年。二月七号的清晨我们坐火车，直到下午我们才到爷爷家。

虽然离过年还有十天，但是我看到了一片忙碌的景象。大家都在准备办年货，清早爷爷提着菜篮去买鱼、肉、牛肉……买回来以后还自制香肠，大伯还在炒自己地里种的花生，哥哥上街买春联、鞭炮、烟花。伯妈还开卤锅卤菜，海带啊、藕……爸爸就杀鸡，我和妈妈就贴两家的春联、贴门神，贴门神是为了防止年兽入侵，贴完春联、门神就去洗海带、藕……我们以前在长沙还从来没这样过，都是去超级市场买现成的，而且这里和邻居好亲热啊!难得一见。

因为城市很少有挨家挨户的房子，就算有，也很少亲热。在吃晚餐之前还要先祭祖，于是我们提着鞭炮来到奶奶的坟上，烧纸钱、放鞭炮。在爷爷这里除夕团年饭必须要凑足十个菜。在餐桌上，我们互相敬酒，不喝酒的就以饮料代酒，相互之间祝福，在我的记忆当中，在长沙只有我们三个人吃饭，也没说过祝福，吃完饭就开始给压岁钱给小孩，吃完饭我们大家就出去放烟花、放鞭炮……这里有各式各样的烟花、鞭炮，大年初一，我们晚辈要给长辈拜年，还要送补品、礼物。

这就是我们湖北过春节的习俗。

The Duanwu Festival is celebrated on the fifth day of the fifth month according to the Chinese calendar.People always eat rice dumplings and watch dragon boat races to celebrate it.

A Dragon boat race is a traditional amusement activity in dragon boat festival. Today my mother took me out to watch dragon boat races. I was very excited because this was my first time to watch such race. When we arrived at Nanhu Park there were hundreds of people around the two sides of the river. We found a place can see the match clearly hardly. The participate sat on the boat look like dragon. When the signal to start set everyone on the boat tried their best to make the boat forward. And the people who were watching also cheered them. The air was very lively.

Today is the beginning of first, I told my cousin went to the big red flag in the town of Villa Zhuo watched a wonderful "Spring Festival acrobatics extravaganza." After we came to find a place performing acrobatics, find a place to sit, then waited patiently show began.

For example: a tightrope, tigers jump through hoops, lions and tigers slide across the beautiful swing, bears do sports, air swing ...... and so this "Spring Festival acrobatic extravaganza," the protagonist is mainly animals.

This "Spring Festival acrobatics show" really meaningful ah!

Spring Festival is the most important holiday for Chinese people. Excitement and happiness are palpable this time of the year， and they reach the peak on lunar new year‘s eve.

Though the 15-day period， which starts with the first day of the lunar new year and ends on the 15th day (known as Lantern Festival)， is relatively long， it is the busiest time of the year for Chinese people. The arrangements they have to make for family reunions， buying necessities and preparing food keeps them busy throughout the holiday. Many of them travel back home and meet friends over dinner and drinks. The celebrations include decorating the house and setting off fireworks.

But we are talking about a tradition that seems to be fading.Spring Festival， as it is celebrated today， has undergone many changes， thanks to the country‘s economic development and globalization.

Yet no Spring Festival is complete without food. People could not get good food whenever they desired in earlier times， something that does not apply to society today. More often than not， people faced the risk of famine. The best time for people to celebrate was when food was available in plenty， and that was possible in spring， or the beginning of the lunar new year. That was the main reason why Spring Festival acquired such great importance among Chinese people.

But three decades of economic growth has ensured that people in China， except for those who are still poor， can enjoy a good meal whenever they want. Such has been the change in people‘s fortune that some have to be treated for obesity and other health problems associated with excessive eating.

In the past， celebrations were limited to events like song-and-dance duets in North China， dragon/lion dances in South China and fireworks， which required the joint efforts of the entire community. But economic development and urbanization seems to have weakened the social links among people. Many， especially those living in cities， are not interested in celebrating the festival with people they hardly know.

Many customs associated with Spring Festival have changed， too. In the past， people used to visit relatives and friends with gifts and lots of good wishes. Today， many people， especially the youth， use their cell phones or the Internet to send their good wishes and even "gifts" to their relatives and friends. Some may say this a sign that people have become less caring about their near and dear ones， but we should see this development as a time- and energy-saving exercise granted by the information age.

In recent times， many people have started praying for a career promotion or more money instead of invoking God or the Buddha for a healthy and long life and the welfare of their family. But the number of such people is decreasing now， which shows that people are becoming more reasonable.

在甘肃，新年舞社火是甘肃各地春节期间的重要活动，同时也是一种载歌载舞、体裁多样、种类繁多的综合表演艺术，多在农历正月进行表演。民间社火表演中，以历史上的豪杰英雄、善男孝女及民间传说中的各种人物为角色。为了塑造人物形象，艺人在化妆时，从人物的不同秉性品格出发，以丰富的想象，运用各种色彩，彩绘出各种脸谱，逐渐形成别具一格的脸谱艺术。

社火脸谱忠实表达了人民群众对真善美的审美心理和对历史人物的好恶褒贬，他们通过社火脸谱，夸张、形象、生动地表达了自己的情感。在社火表演中独具特色的有兰州的太平鼓舞、武威的攻鼓舞，张掖的顶碗舞、陇东的秧歌和天水的扇鼓、腊花等。

正月打秋千，进入农历正月，临夏山村的大树间，一架架秋千架起，开始了一年一度的打秋千游戏。打秋千，有两种基本姿式，一是自己坐在横板上，由别人在后面送，悠悠晃晃，飞得不太高，这种姿式适合于年幼儿童;二是站立在横板上，自己用力，使秋千快速飞升，这种姿式最受大人青睐。就这样，欢乐的人们飞在秋千上，天天飞、夜夜飞，直到正月十五结束。

篇三：英语作文春节范本

The Spring Festival

Far and away the most important holiday in China is Spring Festival, also known as the Chinese New Year. To the Chinese people it is as important as Christmas to people in the West. the dates for this annual celebration are determined by the lunar calendar rather than the GREgorian calendar, so the timing of the holiday varies from late January to early February.

To the ordinary Chinese, the festival actually begins on the eve of the lunar New Years Day and ends on the fifth day of the first month of the lunar calendar. But the 15th of the first month, which normally is called the Lantern Festival, means the official end of the Spring Festival in many parts of the country.

过年的时候，家家户户都忙着贴春联儿，剃头发，做年夜饭，放鞭炮，要做的事情实在太多了，而且“规矩”也太多了，有些习俗还很奇怪，弄得我丈二和尚--摸不着头脑。

在无奈之下，。我准备去问正在贴春联的爸爸。我大喊道：“贴错了，贴错了。你把它贴反啦！”爸爸不紧不慢的回答道：“没贴错。”那为什么要倒着贴？我疑惑不解。爸爸却解释道：“将‘福’字倒着贴是一种习俗，‘福’倒着贴说明‘福’倒（到）了！”哦，原来如此，那过年还有什么习俗呀？我又发出疑问。爸爸停下手中的活，耐心地给我讲了起来。原来过年还有一种习俗来源于年兽。古时候有一种叫“年”的凶猛怪兽，每到腊月三十，便挨门串户，觅食人肉，残害生灵。有一年腊月三十的晚上，“年”到了一个村庄，适逢两个牧童在比赛牛鞭子。“年”忽闻半空响起了啪啪的鞭声，吓得望风而逃。它窜到另一个村庄，又迎头望到了一家门口晒着件大红衣裳，它不知其为何物，吓得赶紧掉头逃跑，后来它又来到了一个村庄，朝一户人家门里一瞧。只见里面灯火辉煌，刺得它头昏眼花，只好又夹着尾巴溜走了。人们由此摸准了“年”有怕响，怕红，怕光的弱点，便有了放炮，穿红衣，贴春联的方法驱赶年兽。”这才得以平静，此后这个方法就流传开来了，直到今日。我听完爸爸的讲解才恍然大悟。我又问爸爸为什么理发要赶在二十七呢？哦，原来民间有一条俗语，叫“二十七剃精细，二十八剃傻瓜！”原来是这样啊，我又问爸爸为什么要大扫除呢？爸爸说大扫除是为了扫除一年中的晦气，这是好兆头呀！

这就是我家乡热闹的春节。

Spring Festival was my favorite Chinese festival when I was a child. At

that time, I had a great time. Every year at that time I could dress new

clothes, get lucky money from relatives and seldom receive criticism from my

mother. Everything seems such wonderful. However, as I grow up, I find Spring

Festival is less and less interesting. I just feel that as usual. What’s worse,

with the fireworks, I find Spring Festival is a noisy festival. So I don’t like

it any more.

春节在中国人心目中是一年中最重要的传统节日，各地都有不同的传统习俗，不同的习俗体现了不同的人情味，厦门也不例外。

除夕之夜，到处灯火辉煌，闽南一带过年习俗与其它城市不尽相同。

各家各户除了贴春联外，房门两侧还要搁置两株圈贴红纸的连根甘蔗，叫“门蔗”，方言“蔗”与“佳”近音，寓意进入佳境。厅堂中案桌摆有隔年饭、长年菜、发糕，并插上用红、黄两色纸扎的“春枝”，寓意饭菜长年丰足，吉祥发财。每家要把薯藤柴枝堆垛大门外，点燃待其烟绕火旺，男人依辈分跳过这堆火焰，边跳边念：“跳入来，年年大发财;跳出去，无忧共无虑;跳过东，五谷吃不空;跳过西，钱银滚滚来。”这叫“过火群”，象征烧掉旧岁的邪气，消灾过运，迎来干干净净，大吉大利的新年。“跳火群”后，接着是求如愿，用新扫帚打扫厅堂，扫完后扫帚畚斗搁在一起，垃圾堆放门边，希望如愿再从畚帚中走出来，帮助发家

除夕夜，家家户户都有围炉吃年饭的习惯。对于家中尚有外出未归者，家人仍会为其摆好碗筷，并将其喜爱的菜肴盛于碗中，以代表家人团圆。家长率子女围坐炉旁，叫“围炉守岁”，最好通宵达旦守着，据说这是为父母添寿。此时，长辈给晚辈分压岁钱，叫“分圆”，厦门称之为“过年钱”。数额可多可少，在过去，也可以只是一个小小的铜板，代表是长辈盼望孩子快快长大的心意。

在除夕的年夜饭里，有几样食物是绝对不能少的。

长年菜：即菠菜。不可以切根，有头有尾，每人都得吃一根，意寓“平安”。

血蚶：闽南话说“蚶壳钱大赚钱”，将吃剩的蚶壳洗净，洒在桌子底下或床下，直到初五才收拾。也许这个习惯与中国古代曾以贝为钱币有关。

年糕：以前总是自己磨粉制作，也有用米或面作发糕的，而现在大家都直接去市场购买了，又简便又实惠。当然了，口味可以随自己喜欢。

到了初一，黎明开门，梵香燃爆，名为“开正”。人们换上新装到族人亲戚家按辈份高低依次拜年，路遇朋友，都要彼此道贺新喜。客人来家，应款待甜茶、糖果、蜜饯;来客带有孩童，则送给礼柑、瓜果。厦门传统习俗正月初三是不能登门拜年的，要在家里祭祀亡灵。有谚语曰“初一早，初二早，初三困甲饱”，意思是初三日无客登门，晚起无妨。正月初九“天公生”，厦门的家家户户会烧香挂灯、设案摆供，诚心虔意地敬“天公”。

中华民族崇尚红色，厦门人也一样以红色象征幸福、吉祥。过春节一定要红，红红的春节，所以有红包、红枣、红红的门联和请帖，大家都以红为大、以红为尊、以红为喜。随着社会进步，生活节奏加快，一些繁琐的习俗已逐渐被废止了，但企盼好年景的风俗仍保留下来
