介绍清明节的英文作文(精彩20篇)

清明时节雨纷纷，路上行人欲断魂。借问酒家何处有。牧童遥指杏花村。

———题记

燕子飞到南方去了，有在飞回来的时候。杨柳枯萎了，有再青的时候。桃花谢了有再开的时候。可是亲爱的爷爷。您长眠在这冰冷的墓地里很久很久了。孙女和您近在咫尺，却又阴阳两隔，千呼万唤也无法和您相见。这怎么不让孙女悲伤，痛苦，而又惆怅满怀呢。

记忆中清明节曾有过的快乐早已荡然无存。没有爷爷的清明节连天都灰蒙蒙的。无休无止的绵绵细雨让我悲从心起。寒风啊，请你告诉断肠人，那样爱孙女的爷爷怎么就在也不回来了。

透过蒙蒙的雨丝，我又看见了那熟悉的小山坡。满山的小草还是那么嫩绿，五颜六色的野花寂寞地开放着。还有那无人采摘的碧绿的青蓬。这一切都让我感到亲切极了。景物依旧，爷爷却早已不在了。画面再次重现，蓝蓝的天空下，一个小女孩握着风筝的线轴，欢快地跑着。哪个紧随其后的慈祥老人不正是爷爷吗，他的脸色为何这样苍白，为什么不停下休息，我明白他是舍不得。

画面模糊了又清晰了，小女孩跟着爷爷乖乖地采青蓬。再老人的唠叨中，小女孩知道了清明节，清明果，仅此而已。粗心的小女孩，你怎么没有看出爷爷眼中的忧伤，爷爷在用最后的力量延长着小女孩的快乐。

知道无奈的离开人世。

爷爷走了，再思念和等待中，我一天天长大了。也终于明白，燕子能再飞回来，杨柳有再青之时爷爷却再也回不来了，陪我度过的是常常的思念和一年一度的清明节。

我是一个比较文静听话的男孩子，不爱捣乱，不过偶尔也会淘气。

我是从__幼儿园毕业的，在那里我度过了愉快的三年。老师喜欢我，小朋友也喜欢我，当然我也喜欢他们，我们在一起非常开心。我在那里有很多好朋友，我希望在学校里也能这样。

我认识了很多字，但是写得还不太好。妈妈给我买了很多书，我很喜欢看，现在最喜欢的是英雄故事、军事和科学等方面的。我还喜欢问问题，有时候难住了妈妈，她只好去电脑里查。

为了锻炼身体，我在幼儿园里学了半年武术，老师教了一套拳，可是现在差不多都忘了。我还在少年宫学了半年儿童画，虽然现在画得还不是很好，但是比以前有进步了，我最喜欢画奥特曼。

妈妈从小要求我要有良好的生活习惯，早睡早起，中午睡午觉，要讲卫生，勤洗手。我努力去做，但是有时候也犯点小错误，特别是这个假期玩得多了，开学了，又换了新环境，还需要适应。

我的优点是记忆力比较好，认字多，加减法也会一些；性格比较温和、开朗，可以和同伴和睦相处；敢于发言，上课时积极举手回答问题；在幼儿园里帮助老师做力所能及的事情。缺点嘛也有，有时候会犯倔，偶尔有点小气。我的体育方面不是太好，在幼儿园排练舞蹈时老师说我动作不太协调，登高爬低的时候有点胆小，不过我会加强锻炼的。妈妈还说我写作业的时候有点粗心。

妈妈对我的希望是：健康、善良、正直、向上，努力学习，做一个自信、自强、自立的人。

希望老师能对我严格要求、帮助我进步。妈妈爸爸希望我能保持好的视力，不要过早的戴上眼镜，所以保持正确的读书写字姿势很重要，希望您能督促和提醒我，谢谢。

清明节小长假期间，爸爸妈妈带着我一齐去郊游，感受春天的气息。

带着对踏青的渴望，兴奋的一家人，收拾好必备品，一早出发。

踏着轻快脚步，哼着熟悉的曲调，翘望着向郊外走去。在路上首先和我打招呼的是“春风姑姑”，她用略带湿润的气息，轻轻的吹拂着我的脸，顿时感到无比的舒服;她手抚摸着我的头，微笑的告诉我欢迎来到春的世界。

太阳公公今日显现出他久违的慈祥与光辉，片片金光洒向人间，撒进了每个人的心里，让春的暖意融入世界每个角落。正在我感受阳光沐浴的时候，银铃般鸟儿的叫声叫醒了沉醉的我，好像在和我说“快啊!跟我来，前面的景色更完美!”

跟随着鸟儿的歌声，不一会就来到了目的地。果然和城市里的喧嚣相比，那里的自然景色显得异常的清晰，祥静。原本澎湃的心境，瞬间平静了下来。沿着路边走，一棵棵的小草随着我们的步伐偷偷的从地里钻了出来，仿佛迫不及待的要和我们一齐分享这美丽的景色。放眼望去前面是一片青绿的草地，风一吹，沙沙响，“春天好，春天好”。草地两旁的柳树，蒙蒙绿了，柳枝随风摆动，摆摆手，向春天致敬。柳树下翠绿的小草丛中，小野花露出笑脸，红色的，白色的，黄色的，五颜六色点缀在绿色之中，格外好看。

抬头往上看去，天边飘过几朵白云，在向我们招手，在向我们微笑。蓝天、白云、金色阳光，映照着绿地和我们幸福的笑脸，时间美景可是如此啊!

我想世上还有什么能比大自然更美呢?能比我们此刻更幸福呢?珍惜此刻，我会好好学习，天天向上!

My name is ________. I am from. ________. There are ________ people in my family. My father works in a computer company. He is a computer engineer. My mother works in a international trade company. She is also a busy woman. I have a older sister and a younger brother. My sister is a junior in National haiwan University. She majors in English. My brother is an elementary school student. He is 8 years old.

Because of my father， I love surfing the Internet very much. I play the on-line game for about 2 hours every day. I wish I could be a computer program designer in the future. And that is why I am applying for the electronics program in your school.

清明，我去厚街扫墓。

当天太阳很大，天气很好。我和爸爸像往年一样，这天早早地就起了床，很快就准备好，然后就出门了。

到了车上，我问爸爸：“爸爸我们现在先去做什么?”爸爸笑了说：“很简单，我们先去拿一整只烧鹅和一整只乳猪，顺便在那吃早饭。再直接出发到厚街。”我听点了点头，知道这是爸爸提前为扫墓准备的祭拜的供品。

吃完了早餐，我们用最快的速度去到厚街。来到厚街我和爸爸先到达墓地，等待着从广州与深圳来的亲人们。等着姑父、姑妈、大伯、小叔等等大队人马来齐后，一起清理上次重阳节留下来的脏东西。当我看到奶奶的墓时，想起了一些往事：在我很小的时候，大概四五岁去奶奶家，看见了祭台上一盘水果，看的我流口水，心里想：快点去拿吧!可是妈妈说不能拿。我盯着那盘水果了很久，奶奶看到了这一幕，拿了一个递到我面前和蔼地说：“拿去吃吧!没关系的。”我看了看水果，又看了看奶奶，马上吃起来。想到这些事的时候，心里开始有点伤心，又有一丝想念。奶奶那小小的身影又浮现在我的眼前?

我们整理干净，摆上了带来的乳猪、烧鹅、水果等供品，倒上酒，插上蜡烛，点起香，所有的人一起拜了三下。在拜的时候，我在心里默念：爷爷奶奶保佑我们全家身体健康，保佑您的孙子学业进步，也希望爷爷奶奶在另一个世界开心，没有病痛。拜完了香，我们还给去世的亲人少烧了很多张“纸钱”，然后还点了鞭炮。虽然鞭炮很响，很有热闹的气氛，但我一点也开心不起来，我心里还是有一丝想念。鞭炮点完了，我们下了山。爷爷奶奶下次我再来看你们。

这次，我知道了扫墓并不只是简单的一个仪式，而是让我记住，我从那里来，我当下要干什么。

大家好，我是徐妍，是一位女孩，为什么叫徐妍呢，是因为“妍”字有美丽的意思，因为我是女孩，所以我爸爸期望我长得漂亮。我家里有4口人，有一位强壮的爸爸。慈祥的妈妈。美丽的姐姐还有我。

我性格比较外向，很喜欢交朋友。我个子不高，也不胖，有一张圆圆的脸，一双乌黑的眼睛，短头发。我今年12岁了。

我上课很仔细听讲，每次教师布置的作业我都会完成，所以我的成绩还过得去。

我的缺点是不细心，很马虎。做试卷时不仔细检查，我以前的数学教师说我难的题做对，简单的题却做不对。我以后会尽量改掉这个坏毛病的。

我是一个很有爱心的人，记得有一次，我和姐姐爸爸坐公交车，这时上来一位来奶奶，没有座位坐，我立刻就把座位让给了那位老奶奶，然后我就和姐姐坐在了一个座位上，挤了一路。

我的爱好就是爱看书。虽然我爱看书，但我可不是什么书都读的，我喜欢读故事书。学校小说和写动物的书，记得我读书还有一个故事呢“有一天，我明白我的一位朋友有《笑猫日记全集》，我就向她借，她不答应，怕我把书给弄坏了，我借不着怎样可能罢休，我就在哪说了一火车的好话，他才答应借给我看2天。”

我的缺点就是爱掉“金豆豆”。咳，你可别笑，养的宠物死了，哭!受同学欺负，哭!考试不好，哭。可是，我丝毫不觉得难为情，古人云：“当笑则笑，当哭则哭，无须掩饰。”要说我不爱的，就数运动了。体育成绩自然不好了。可是，这个缺点，以后我要改。我这个人，不仅仅爱哭爱笑，爱读书爱剪纸，还爱交朋友。你肯和我交个朋友吗?

嗨～，我叫擎天柱，是一个变形金刚合金模型。自从我来到这个家，就颇得主人的喜爱。

我身长70厘米，重约500千克，我的主体是那结实的胸部，胸部左右两侧是透明的车窗，车窗周围印着深红色的火焰纹路，别提有多酷了!我的手臂两侧，两块银灰色的盾牌闪闪发亮，腿部构造棱角分明，脚掌特别大，看着就站得特别稳。瞧我那炫酷的造型，流畅的线条，简直就像真的擎天柱一样，只不过是缩小版而已。难怪主人会如此喜爱我呢!

我的拓展武器也是很多的，比如，有能量刀，能量斧，能量拳套，能量盾牌，还有一辆能量战车。不过，这些都不是最帅的，那么，最帅的到底是什么呢?当然是那把骑士剑啦，每次一拿上它，我就像一位大将军，所向披靡。

然而，最让人激动的莫过于变形了，将我变形，可一点儿也不简单哦，虽然我很结实，但四肢僵硬，得用点劲儿才能扳动我，首先，把我的双脚并拢，旋转180度，变成车尾，然后把头部塞进身体，将车窗合拢，再把手臂收进，最后再把两部分扣紧，确认不松动时，才可放手。这样，你会惊奇地发现，我居然变成了一辆大卡车。

同学们，大家好，我叫，今年岁，毕业于小学，我的性格是，我喜欢我的特长是，曾获得奖，我希望能和同学们共同度过三年的美好初中生活，谢谢大家。

我，隐藏在茫茫人海中。我既没有柔美的身段(或其它)，也没有亮丽的双眸，但我有进取的心，有似水的梦怀，有崇高的理想，我坚信腹有诗书气自华。

我，不愿随波逐流。在《未选择的路》中弗罗斯特曾写过：“黄色的树林里分出两条路，可惜我不能同时去涉足。”“而我选择了人迹更少的一条，从此决定了我一生的道路。”只融于大众的我便成为了实实在在的平凡人。我不愿去走别人庸俗的老路，去过跟别人同样庸俗的生活。在偷觑他人的同时，也否定了自己。

我，爱古典文学。我认为，我们是龙的传人，应该继承和发扬龙的传统才是。此外，我还喜欢诗歌。因为诗能陶冶人的高尚情操。每当我心情不好时，拿出《唐诗三百首》或《宋词鉴赏》，我就会马上抛弃不快，沉浸到“举杯邀明月”的意境中去了┄┄我最爱读《红楼梦》。我为宝玉黛玉的爱情悲剧伤心，我厌恶薛宝钗，明明是她偷听了小红和坠儿的谈话，却居心叵测，把这事推到黛玉身上-——多么虚伪、多么卑鄙!你如果也有同感的话，那可真是“英雄所见略同”了!

我，要做自己。齐白石老先生曾说过;“学我者生，似我者死。”走不出前人的框架，自然也就不会有自己的天地。当流行泡沫小说时，我感觉那时在浪费时间，当流行网络游戏时，我感觉那是在虚度青春。要做自己，看清真实的我，拿出十二分的信心，告诉自己：“我就是我，凭什么跟他一样?!”抛掉那些人为的浮华雕饰，亮出自己的王牌，追求自己的个性，做我自己，最好!

我生性好动，是个开朗活泼的孩子。我酷爱体育运动，尤其是球类这一方面的。比如：足球、篮球、羽毛球、乒乓球……也由于开朗活泼的缘故，我很爱笑，一笑起来，那双小小的眼睛就眯成了一条缝。

这就是我，一个开朗活泼的男孩，愿为目标而付出努力的人。

小女孩，高高的个子，细细的眉毛下有一双水汪汪的大眼睛。一头乌黑的短发，样子像个假小子。

呵呵，这就是本人。

本人的性格活泼开朗，嫉恶如仇，看到不公平的事就会大发脾气，去年，本人发现班上有一些同学抄袭作文，本人狠狠的批评了他们，吓得他们再也不敢抄袭作文了。

至于开朗吗，不假，正因为这样，人们才更容易走进本人的内心世界，所以，本人在班上人缘很好，有许多好朋友。

本人很喜欢看书。不，是嗜书如命，因为这个原因让本人对写作有着特殊的情感，本人的作文成绩在班上名列前茅，小有名气。

说到这里，也许有人会说了，你把自己夸成一朵花了，就没有一点缺点吗？

惭愧，惭愧，人是吃五谷杂粮的哪能没有缺点呢？本人最大的缺点就是粗心大意，因为这四个字，让本人考试屡次受损。

本人十分喜欢语文，因为语文的世界丰富多彩，数学相对就死板一些了。

本人觉得世界上没有过不去的坎儿，只要努力，成功就会在不远的地方向你招手。

本人将继续努力，发扬优点，克服缺点，更上一层楼。

这就是本人，一个对未来充满自信，对生活充满希望的本人。

葡萄是一种营养价值很高的水果，它的用途也十分广泛。众所周知，闻名世界的法国葡萄酒就是用它制成的，而且葡萄的含糖量很高，经过加工后可提取出一种适用于人们用作血糖低人群的药物，而且它本身也是美味无比。

葡萄还没成熟时，酸酸涩涩的，比成熟的山楂还要酸一点。这时候的葡萄是翠绿色的，在阳光的照耀下就像一颗颗晶莹剔透的绿宝石，发出灿灿的光芒。没成熟的葡萄也很小，稍大一些的葡萄就跟樱桃差不多大小，像一颗小珍珠球一样。

成熟的葡萄则不同乐，吃下一口，甜甜的，又十分清爽，简直就是人间美味!它浑身散发着诱人的清香，味道可口，成熟的葡萄，紫紫的，却又带着一点红，这时候的葡萄已经比原来大了许多倍，有得可以跟桂圆相比了。

每年八、九月份是摘葡萄的季节。种栽葡萄的人们都会彩烈地来到葡萄园里，动作娴熟地拿起来剪刀，剪下葡萄，好拿出去卖。有的葡萄还没成熟就已经拿去卖了，这样的葡萄虽然有些甜，但是酸味胜于甜味，一点都不好吃，熟过了的葡萄则会被鸟啄食，有的还会烂掉水分，水分也会越来越少，甚至变成棕色。

葡萄的颜色和种类也是数不胜数的。颜色有紫的，绿的，白的等各种颜色。种类有巨峰，玫瑰香等。葡萄的形态也是各式各样，五光十色的，非常漂亮，葡萄籽的用途很大，它有抗氧化的作用，可以起到解毒，增强免疫力，抗过敏，保护血管的作用。

葡萄全身都是宝，它对人类做出了很大的贡献。

Last Qingming Festival,i return home to worship my grandfather.Qingming

Festival is a folk Festival.In the past,the Qingming Festival was called "Arbor

Day". But Today, Chinese visit their family graves to tend to any underbrush

that has grown. Weeds are pulled, and dirt swept away, and the family will set

out offerings of food and spirit money. Unlike the sacrifices at a familys home

altar, the offerings at the tomb usually consist of dry, bland food. One theory

is that since any number of ghosts rome around a grave area, the less appealing

food will be consumed by the ancestors, and not be plundered by strangers.

With the passing of time, this celebration of life became a day to the

honor past ancestors. Following folk religion, the Chinese believed that the

spirits of deceased ancestors looked after the family. Sacrifices of food and

spirit money could keep them happy, and the family would prosper through good

harvests and more children.

Every city has many theme parks, the local people like to go to the park for a walk or take some exercise. In China, most parks are free, people can go there without charge, but still some other parks need to charge. People urge that all the parks should be free, while I think it will do harm to the park.

每个城市都有很多主题公园，本地人喜欢去公园散步或者锻炼。在中国，大部分公园免费，人们无需给钱就可以进入公园，但是仍然有一些公园需要付费。人们要求所有的公园应该免费，然而我觉得这样会对公园有害。

One the one hand, opening the parks for free encourages people to go to the park for entertainment. Most people have the habit to take a walk after dinner, so it can help them to keep their bodies healthy. The children can have fun with their friends, too. The parks provide people so much fun, so it is good for people to go to there for free.

一方面，免费开放公园鼓励着人们去公园娱乐。很多人有饭后散步的习惯，这样有助于让他们保持身体的健康。孩子们也可以和他们的朋友找乐子。公园给人们提供了很多的乐趣，因此免费开放公园对人们是有好处的。

On the other hand, too many people go to the parks will do harm to the environment. Some people will throw away their trash away, the environment will be polluted. What’s more, the crowed people will make people have less space for them to have fun.

另一方面，过多的人去公园会对环境造成伤害。一些人会随处扔垃圾环境会被污染。而且，成群的人会让人们享有很少的空间来娱乐。

For me, I think it is not good to open the parks for free, it needs to control the number of people, so we can protect the environment.

对于我来说，我觉得免费开放公园是不好的，要控制人群的数量，这样我们才能保护环境。

大家好!我叫王欣宇，今年9岁了，是饮马小学三年级三班的一名小学生。我有一头乌黑亮丽的长发，圆圆的脸上长着一双小而明亮的眼睛，一个高高的鼻子下长着一张红润的樱桃小嘴。换牙后我长出两颗非常大的门牙，所以照相时我只能抿着嘴笑。

我是一个文静的小女孩!我的爱好是画画，我画的画同学们都说我画的好，同学们都夸我是画画小能手。我的理想是当一名优秀的画家，我要把世界上美好的东西都画下来。

我还是一个爱劳动的孩子，在家里一有空就帮妈妈扫地、擦桌子、拖地、洗碗，我样样都抢在妈妈前面干。

人都不会是十全十美的，我也有很多小缺点，像粗心，作业有时马虎，写一些不该出现的错别字。考试时经常因为粗心扣了不该扣的分。我真希望自己能早日改掉这些缺点。

这就是我，一个文静、爱好画画、热爱劳动、还有许多小缺点的小女孩，你愿意和我做朋友吗?

各位旅客大家好!我就是你们的导游。现在我们来到了苏州。

苏州是中国著名的历史文化名城之一，素来以山水秀丽，园林典雅而闻名天下，有江南园林甲天下，苏州园林甲江南的美称。

城内有小园林将近200处。其中沧海亭、狮子林、拙政园每一个园林都有一个故事。大家请跟我来去看看沧海亭吧!

沧海亭位于苏州市城南三元坊内，是苏州最古老的一所园林。占地面积约10800平方米。沧海亭始于吴越王钱缪之子钱元亮的池馆。宋代诗人苏舜钦以四万贯钱买下废园，进行修筑，傍水造亭，因感于沧海之水清兮，可以濯吾缨;浪浪之水浊兮，可以濯吾足，题名沧海亭，自号沧海翁，并作《沧海亭记》。欧阳修应邀作《沧海亭》长诗，诗中以清风明月本无价，可惜只卖四万钱题咏此事。自此，沧海亭名声大振。苏氏之后，沧海亭几乎荒废，南宋初年一度为抗金名将韩世忠的宅第，清康熙三十五年巡抚宋荦重建此园，把傍水亭子移建于山之巅，形成今天沧海亭的布局基础，并以文征明隶书沧海亭为匾额。清同治十二年再次重建，遂成今天之貎。沧海亭虽因历代更迭有兴废，已非宋时初貎，但其古木苍老郁森，还一直保持旧时的风采。

还有许多的园林故事，我不一一跟你们说了。想要了解请到园林的亭子里去看。注意要保护好树木，不要让它枝折花落。

一个阳光明媚的早晨，我和爸爸去牛头山看恐龙模型展出。在那里我看到了许多活灵活现，像真的一样的恐龙。下面请听我一一介绍。

那里有凶猛的霸王龙。它有一颗椭圆形的脑袋，上面长着一双大眼睛，眼神很可怕。身体肥肥的、大大的，尾巴则是短短的。它的脾气非常暴躁。你伸手摸摸它的脑袋，它不会咬你，但会张开它那大大的嘴巴，向你发出可怕的嚎叫声，你保准会吓得一大跳。

那里有翼龙，它的脑袋小小的，嘴巴尖尖的，身材瘦瘦的，翅膀大大的，双脚小小的，看起来非常灵巧。如果你去摸它的翅膀，它就会朝你发出叫声，好像在说“不要碰我高贵优雅的翅膀”。还里还有爱偷蛋的窃蛋龙。只要你摸一下它偷来的蛋，它就会大发雷霆，大叫着“把你们的手拿开，那是我的蛋。”

里面的恐龙还有很多很多，如可爱温顺的三角龙，脖子长长的长颈龙……这次去看恐龙模型展出，我很开心。因为我收获了许多与恐龙有关的知识。

“清明时节探亡魂，细雨纷飞似泪痕。”每到清明节，天空总飘着细雨，席天卷地把人间都笼罩在一片朦胧之中，那是什么?是泪水，是后人祭奠祖先时所流的泪啊!

“今年的清明到了。”望着车窗外斜密雨丝，我与父母踏上了家乡归途。终于回到爷爷坟前，墓碑经过几年风雨磨啮，上面的墓志铭早已褪色，埋在一片萋萋青草之中，我跪在墓前，望着冷硬冷硬的墓碑无情地站在我和爷爷的面前，仅仅是一碑只隔，但是我知道我和爷爷的距离早已是阴阳两界了。

六年前，我还清楚地记得爷爷去世的那一天也下雨了。他走得很安详，就像睡着了。两片厚唇紧闭着，鼻孔胀大，似乎还有气息，眼幕微闭着，好像下一秒就会睁开，可是，这一闭就是真的闭上了。爷爷是因公致残的，在床上躺了大半辈子，爸爸曾经说过等他长大了一定要当个医生治好爷爷的腿，等到真的长大时，腿没治好，爷爷却死于心脑血管疾病。

“爷爷，不孝孙来看您了!”燃烧殆尽的香火飘飘四散，熏着我的脸，那带一点暖的抚摸就像爷爷的大手，淡淡的在脸上划过，粗糙却不乏细腻，我哭了，不是悲怆于生命的脆弱，而是魂断于亲情的永诀。不由想起了朱自清的《背影》。可是我的爷爷站不起来，也做不到爬上月台去买橘子给我。但是他下棋时的凝神专注的神情我是忘不了的……

依稀记得坐在轮椅上的他沐浴着午后的阳光，一只手环抱着我，另一只在紧锁的额头上摩挲，注视着眼前的颗颗棋子，好像在等待时机。

突然，他伸手捏起手边的“车”，“啪”的一下拍在对方的“帅”上。完美的结束了这进半小时的僵持。从那时起爷爷下棋的眉头就让我觉得那是世界上最威风的事了。我永远忘不了他那紧锁的眉头，尤其是他的笑，更加温柔可人。

那是他去世的前一年，那时他已经患了严重的高血压和动脉粥样硬化，我要去上学了，临走前他把我一直送到门口，当我坐进车里时他还扒在车窗上笑着说包里有给我准备的早餐，然后才转动轮椅费力地向家里移动。

“柳色梅花仍依旧，阴阳相隔梦晨昏。”柳树、梅花仍然如去年一样开着，可是我和我的爷爷却只能在梦中相见了。一年又一年，清明雨飘洒天际，清明魂缠绕在心间，那是一捧千年流淌不干的思亲泪，无际，无尽……

What strikes one first in a birds -eye view of Beijing proper is a vast tract of golden roofs flashing brilliantly in the sun with purple walls occasionally emerging amid them and a stretch of luxuriant tree leaves flanking on each side. That is the former Imperial Palace, popularly known as the Forbidden City, from which twenty-four emperors of the Ming and Qing Dynasties ruled China for some 500 years——from1420 to 1911. The Ming Emperor Yong Le, who usurped the throne from his nephew and made Beijing the capital, ordered its construction, on which approximately 10,000 artists and a million workmen toiled for 14 years from 1406 to 1420. At present, the Palace is an elaborate museum that presents the largest and most complete ensemble of traditional architecture complex and more than 900,000 pieces of court treasures in all dynasties in China.

Located in the center of Beijing, the entire palace area, rectangular in shape and 72 hectares in size, is surrounded by walls ten meters high and a moat 52 meters wide. At each corner of the wall stands a watchtower with a double-eave roof covered with yellow glazed tiles.

The main buildings, the six great halls, one following the other, are set facing south along the central north-south axis from the Meridian Gate, the south entrance, to Shenwumen, the great gate piercing in the north wall. On either side of the palace are many comparatively small buildings. Symmetrically in the northeastern section lie the six Eastern Palaces and in the northwestern section the six Western Palaces. The Palace area is divided into two parts: the Outer Court and the Inner Palace. The former consists of the first three main halls, where the emperor received his courtiers and conducted grand ceremonies, while the latter was the living quarters for the imperial residence. At the rear of the Inner Palace is the Imperial Garden where the emperor and his family sought recreation.

The main entrance to the Palace is the Meridian Gate(1), which was so named because the emperor considered himself the "Son of the Heaven" and the Palace the center of the universe, hence the north-south axis as the Meridian line going right through the Palace. The gate is crowned with five towers, commonly known as the Five-Phoenix Towers(2), which were installed with drums and bells. When the emperor went to the Temple of Heaven, bells were struck to mark this important occasion. When he went to the Ancestral Temple, it was the drums that were beaten to publicize the event.

Beyond the Meridian Gate unfolds a vast courtyard across which the Inner Golden Water River runs from east to west. The river is spanned by five bridges, which were supposed to be symbols of the five virtues preached by Confucius——benevolence, righteousness, rites, intelligence, and fidelity(3).

At the north end of the courtyard is a three-tiered white marble terrace, seven meters above the ground, on which, one after another, stand three majestic halls; the Hall of Supreme Harmony(4), the Hall of Complete Harmony(5), and the Hall of Preserving Harmony(6).

The Hall of Supreme Harmony, rectangular in shape, 27 meters in height, 2,300 square meters in area, is the grandest and most important hall in the Palace complex. It is also Chinas largest existing palace of wood structure and an outstanding example of brilliant color combinations. This hall used to be the throne hall for ceremonies which marked great occasions: the Winter Solstice, the Spring Festival, the emperors birthday and enthronement, and the dispatch of generals to battles, etc. On such occasions there would be an imperial guard of honor standing in front of the Hall that extended all the way to the Meridian gate.

On the north face of the hall in the center of four coiled-golden dragon columns is the "Golden Throne", which was carved out of sandalwood. The throne rests on a two-meter-high platform with a screen behind it. In front of it, to the left and right, stand ornamental cranes, incense burners and other ornaments. The dragon columns entwined with golden dragons measure one meter in diameter. The throne itself, the platform and the screen are all carved with dragon designs. High above the throne is a color-painted coffered ceiling which changes in shape from square to octagonal to circular as it ascends layer upon layer. The utmost central vault is carved with the gilded design of a dragon toying with pearls. when the Emperor mounted the throne, gold bells and jade chimes sounded from the gallery, and clouds of incense rose from the bronze cranes and tortoises and tripods outside the hall on the terrace. The aura of majesty created by the imposing architecture and solemn ritual were designed to keep the subjects of the "Son of the Heaven" in awe and reverence.

The Hall of Complete Harmony is smaller and square with windows on all sides. Here the emperor rehearsed for ceremonies. It is followed by the Hall of Preserving Harmony in which banquets and imperial examinations were held.

Behind the Hall of Preserving Harmony lies a huge marble ramp with intertwining clouds and dragons carved in relief. The slab, about 6.5 meters long, 3 meters wide and 250 tons in weight, is placed between two flights of marble steps along which the emperors sedan was carried up or down the terrace. It is the largest piece of stone carving in the Imperial Palace. Quarried in the mountains scores of kilometers southwest of Beijing, this gigantic stone was moved to the city by sliding it over a specially paved ice road in winter. To provide enough water to build the ice road, wells were sunk at very 500 meters along the way.

The three halls of the Inner Palace are replicas of the three halls in the front, but smaller in size. They are the Palace of Heavenly Purity(7), the Hall of Union(8), and the Palace of Earthly Tranquility(9).

The Palace of Heavenly Purity was once the residence of the Ming emperors and the first two of the Qing emperors. Then the Qing Emperor Yong Zheng moved his residence to the Palace of Mental Cultivation and turned it into an audience hall to receive foreign envoys and handled the state affairs. The promotion and demotion of officials were also decided in this hall. After the emperors death his coffin was placed here for a 49-day period of mourning.

The Palace of Union was the empresss throne room and the Hall of Earthly Tranquility, once a private living room for the empress, was partitioned. The west chamber served religious purposes and the east one was the bridal chamber where the newly married emperor and empress spent their first two nights after their wedding.

The Imperial Garden was laid out during the early Ming dynasty. Hundreds of pines and cypresses offer shade while various flowers give colors to the garden all year round and fill the air with their fragrance. In he center of the garden is the Hall of Imperial Peace, a Daoist temple, with a flat roof slightly sloping down to the four eaves. This type of roof was rare in ancient Chinese architecture. In he northeastern corner of the garden is a rock hill, known as the Hill of the Piled-up Wonders, which is topped with a pavilion. At the foot of the hill are two fountains which jet two columns of water high into the air. It is said that on the ninth night of the ninth month of the lunar calendar, the empress would mound the hill to enjoy the autumn scene. It is also believed that climbing to a high place on that day would keep people safe from contagious diseases.

The six Western Palaces were residences for empresses and concubines. They are kept in their original way for show. The six Eastern Palaces were the residences for them too. But now they serve as special museums: the Museum of Bronze, the Museum of Porcelain and the Museum of Arts and Crafts of the Ming and Qing dynasties. In the northeastern-most section of the Inner Palace are the Museum of Traditional Chinese Paintings and the Museum of Jewelry and Treasures where rare pieces of imperial collections are on display.

Now the Forbidden City is no longer forbidding, but inviting. A visit to the Palace Museum will enrich the visitors knowledge of history, economy, politics, arts as well as architecture in ancient China.

熊猫(Pandas)

There are some pandas in the zoo. They look like a bear, but they are not a bear.

They live in China. They have a small tail and fat body. They are black and white. They’re very clumsy, but they can climb trees. They like to eat bamboo very much. Look! The baby panda is under the mother panda, they are sleeping. They look very lovely. Pandas are my favourite animals.
