5篇关于中国文化的英语作文(经典20篇)

Today a Grand Art and Cultural Show was held in our school with the aim of celebrating the 70th anniversary of our motherland and singing high praise of the great achievements we have accomplished in the past seven decades. In the course of the activity, the students in our school put on a variety of colorful performances, such as singing, dancing and reciting poems, and all performers were well prepared, making a deep impression on the audience. At the end of the show, a singing program, Me and my country won the first place. From where I stand, this activity is extremely meaningful for the reason that not only does it enable us to get rid of pressure from our study but also it inspires us to work hard and make great contributions to our country. It was a successful performance.

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，是一个有着悠久历史的古国。这个古国，曾出现了许许多多的文人墨客，在他们身后留下了一批批的优秀中国传统文化。就连许多国际友人都忍不住远渡重洋，一睹这个古国的风采。

但是，随着时代的更新，新世纪的到来。这些传统文化又渐渐被人遗忘了，只有小部分人还追随着她。

不知从何时起，传统文化被人看作了“老土”的代表。人们都开始追求所谓的“时尚”了。在这其中大部分都是中、大学生。他们去吃饭非要去吃西餐，而不愿去品尝中国美食;他们不去听中国传统戏曲音乐，而非要去听一些怪歌;他们不去参观中国的文化古迹，而不远万里去国外度假……更可悲的是，在中国的一些地方，开设的外国餐厅比中国餐厅还多。我们可是中国人呀!

难道这就是所谓的“时尚”吗?追求时尚是一个年轻人的正常表现。但难道为这些就要与传统“脱节”吗?有的年轻人甚至说出了这样的话：“那些传统文化太老土了，对于我们年轻人来说一点劲也没有。那不是我们该关注的，关注那些的都是些老人!”我十分不解，难道热爱传统文化就是老土吗?难道非要把自己打扮的怪兮兮才叫时尚吗?如果一直这样下去，总有一天，这些曾经属于我们的传统就会消失的!

在这里，我们也要感谢一些人。是他们一直在坚持热爱着我们的传统文化，为我们的传统文化做着贡献，默默保护着我们的传统文化。如果不是他们，这些文化说不定已经消失了!

你看，那些平凡的老人。在公园一招一式的练着太极拳。随着缓慢的音乐慢慢出手，他们是那样认真、投入。宁静之中又不失坚毅，让人看了也情不自禁的投入其中。这才是中国的传统，柔慢又坚定不也是我们的民族精神吗!可为何现在，只有小部分人在追随她?这样优秀的传统文化，难道我们真的忍心让她消失吗?

时代在变，生活也在变，人们所追求的事物也在变。这种变化固然是可以的，在生活中添进一些新的元素也是好的。但是我们在追求新事物的过程中也不要忘记旧的，不要忘记我们的传统文化!

让我们在生活中，多关心、多学习中国的传统文化。让她能够永远传承下去;让我们的传统能够永生;让我们这个古国的历史在将来看去依旧是一副美丽的画卷;让我们文明古国，传统之国的名声能够保留下去，让文化在新与旧的境界里交融、升华，不要让她中途断裂，成为一座空架!

我们中国有很多传统文化，传统文化就是外国没有的文化，比如春节，就是一种传统文化。

一到大街上，你就会发现春节是个特别的日子，楼上张灯结彩，人们都欢天喜地，充满了欢声笑语，还穿上了焕然一新的衣服，大街上热闹非凡，万象更新。

春节的习俗是贴对联、挂灯笼、吃饺子、年糕，还买年画、剪红色的窗花、看春晚、说吉利话得压岁钱、一家子吃团圆饭、迎财神、逛花市、庙会、迎门神……

春节的来历是：春节和年的概念，最初的含意来自农业，古时人们把谷的生长周期称为“年”。《说文·禾部》“年，谷熟也。”在夏商时代产生了夏历，以月亮圆缺的周期为月，一年划分十二个月，每月以不见月亮的那天叫朔。

春节也有很多活动，比如放鞭炮，舞龙舞狮、敲锣打鼓，还放烟花——不一会儿，天上就出现了五彩缤纷、万紫千红、绚丽多彩的烟花。

春节是一个热闹、喜气洋洋的节日，我喜欢春节，春节真好！

Chinese New Year is a Chinese traditional festival. We also call it the Spring Festival. It is on lunar January 1st.

On New Year’s Eve, all the people sit around the desk and have a big family dinner. There are some vegetables, some fish, some meat, some fruits and some drink like juice, Coke, Pepsi and some nice wine. Overall, this is a good and delicious dinner. After dinner, we always watch TV New Year progammes. We have a wonderful evening on New Year’s Eve.On the first day of the Spring Festival, most of people get up early and say “happy new year” to each other. For breakfast, people often eat dumplings and baozi. After breakfast, people often make many delicious foods, and children often play cards, computer games and fireworks. On the second and third day, we visit friends and relatives.

Everyone is busy on Chinese New Year, and everyone is happy, too.

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。

中国人有“关门七件事，柴、米、油、盐、酱、醋、茶”，是生活中不可缺少的必需品。

相传神龙氏在一个风和日丽、阳光普照的某一天，带着妻子儿女去爬山，突然觉得口渴，就在那时侯，忽然有一片树叶飘至眼前，捡起来一看，用手一揉，觉得汁液润滑，用舌头一舔，苦涩的不得了，神龙氏就凭着丰富的经验。知道这是一种能止渴，提神的药，当然大家听听就把它当成一个神话故事，用不着去考证它的真实性。但是也因为如此“茶”渐渐被大家所熟知，许多人便一再改良，而有我们今天所尝的茶滋味。所以说，茶能有现今的风味是一代代努力的结果。

中国历史上有很长的饮茶纪录，已经无法确切地查明到底是在什么年代了，但是大致的时代是有说法的。并且也可以找到证据显示，确实在世界上的很多地方饮茶的习惯是从中国传过去的。所以，很多人认为饮茶就是中国人首创的，世界上其他地方的饮茶习惯、种植茶叶的习惯都是直接或间接地从中国传过去的。

我国第一位著《茶经》而将茶艺宏扬光大的人，是唐朝的陆羽，后来经营茶艺的人，都供奉他为“茶神”。

今天，我读了妈妈给我买的《世界文化与自然遗产》。这是一本充满知识的书。在这本书里，我学到了很多在学校里学不到的知识。现在，我就给同学们介绍一下我们中国的文化遗产吧。

同学们你们知道世界上规模最大，保存最完整的帝王宫殿是哪座宫殿吗？那就是我国的故宫。故宫是明清两代的宫殿，共有24位皇帝在此登基即位。由于故宫里收藏着大量的珍贵文物，所以改名为故宫博物院。

故宫的三大殿是太和殿、中和殿和保和殿。太和殿俗称“金銮宝殿”，是故宫等级最高的宫殿。在太和殿中举行的仪式都非常高级，例如皇帝登基、节日庆典等。中和殿是皇帝去太和殿前小憩或演习礼仪的宫殿。保和殿是举行殿试和宴会的地方。

介绍完了故宫，那大家对人间仙境黄山了解的又有多少？黄山以“三奇四绝”的奇异风采名冠于世。天都峰、莲花峰、光明顶是黄山的三大主峰，素称“三奇”。怪石、奇松、云海、温泉素称黄山“四绝”。黄山的名松有迎客松、送客松、蒲团松、凤凰松、棋盘松等。迎客松是黄山第一名松。到黄山未看迎客松，等于未游黄山。由此可看出，迎客松的名气有多大！

书里的知识可真不少。我要认真阅读这本书，把学到的知识讲给同学们听。

The Spring Festival is our Chinese nation from ancient to modern times, the

most cautious Chinese traditional festival, during the Spring Festival time,

always waiting for the one family reunion together, talking about the years

harvest, for the New Year filled the bright vision. The children enjoy the

tightened and joyful holidays.

My dream is to study abroad in the future. I am always that kind of life can come true soon. But, before I realize my dream, I have to do some preparation. I think the most important thing I need to do first is to adapt the life there.

It is said that there is a big difference between the eastern and western culture.

If I know nothing, it is easy for me to have culture conflict. It will put me into an embarrass place. For example, dragon is the leader for all animals and it has holy good meaning in china. But it means violence in the western country.

I need to learn as much the cultural conflicts as possible to make my oversea life become easier.

我的梦想是以后可以去留学。我总是希望那样的生活能早日成真。但是，在实现梦想之前，我得做一些准备工作。我想我首先需要做的是适应那里的生活。据说东西方文化是有差异的。如果我什么都不知道，很容易发生文化冲突。这会置我于一个尴尬的地方。例如，龙是在中国是万兽之王，有着无比神圣的意义。但是在西方国家则是暴力的象征。我要尽量了解的文化冲突，这样我的留学生活才会变得更简单。

[初中英语作文：东西方文化差异

中国，一个历史悠久的国家；中国，一个承载着无数文明的古国；中国，一个充溢着希望的国度。五千年来，茶叶的清香在空中散发出的是中国人的情怀，粉墙黛瓦在水乡中维持着的是中国人的传统，毛笔在宣纸上静静地转动书写的是中国人的历史。夏日的荷塘月色，冬日的雪映长堤，随着七弦古琴的乐律，在中国的万里疆土上，永久地连接着它的过去和未来。

文房四宝

我第一次接触到国画是八岁，当初只是学了一些皮毛，但在那短短几年间，我却爱上了这些染着悠悠墨香的水墨画，爱上了笔墨纸砚。而宣纸，它留给我的印象最深，不是多么华美的形象，而是洁如雪，雅若梅，粗看之下，仿佛夹杂着日月的明朗，。它的味道总是微微染上墨香，从不像生硬的浓香。宣纸的气息，是让人心安的淡雅之味，也许，这便是中国文化之真谛吧，不张扬，但清丽。像那些用笔尖晕染，勾勒出重重意境的水墨画一样，像不染凡尘，轻灵洒的脱仙人一般，在墨香中移步于历史的长河。

越剧

一截飘扬的水袖，一段铿锵的乐声，几声充满绵意的轻柔唱腔，从戏台上，书本上，甚至电视上，带给了我无穷无尽的念想。在各类戏剧中，我尤其爱越剧，那台上女子婉转的唱腔，时而啼血悲诉，时而略带豪情，那长长的袖一扬，动作轻缓舒展，唱腔绵长轻盈，浓妆艳抹，金银挂饰之下是灵动秀气的心灵。越剧的美，还美在它的语言，如：“牡丹谢，芍药白，海棠青，杨柳带愁，桃花含恨”。一字一句无不带着柔美、委婉之意。渐渐地越剧对我而言，那生动的形象不再在那电视上停留，而是在生活的每一个角落，暗暗地传播着中国经典文化的美韵。

瓷器

光洁的表面，精美的青色花纹，是我对瓷器的印象，然而，这又是多么浅显的观察，它上面印的是落霞吗？要不怎有此番雍容。它上面印的是水流吗？要不怎有此番似柔似刚的风韵？景德镇瓷器上，精美的莲花给出了回答，它穿过历史的潮流，穿过年代的轮回，突破陈旧的灰土，在温润如玉的青瓶上，飞出了凤凰，绽开了锦花，光润的瓶身，在历史的沉淀中，静静地记录着那些金陵台殿雄伟和霓裳羽衣飞扬的那一瞬间，记录着属于中国的古典之美。

丝绸

柔软地似水，明艳地似光，绵长光滑的丝绸就像时间似的从我手中流开，针脚熙攘之间，一个个生动又抽象的物体在眼前一闪而过，闪金的线条流畅地在华美的“画卷”上穿梭，不带一丝生硬，灯光摇曳之下，在手间拂过的“咝咝”声浸透着空灵的清音，在空中久久地回响着，穿过了千年的时光，穿过了那遥远的“丝绸之路”，穿过了那阵阵驼铃，一直向未来飞去。

窗外，雨在不住地下，浸着清凉的水珠从黑青的瓦上滑落，随之染上了晕黄的白墙，在青石砖上连成一片，汇聚成一条长长的水流。是的，在日月轮转，花开花落，云卷云舒之间，中华在静悄悄地雄壮起来，也在静悄悄地点燃着每个人心中的中国魂！

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.

一阵微风吹来，使人感到一丝倦意，我不经意地抬头望望，忽然发现了在微风中摇晃的中国结，我走过去，拿起它细细地看了起来。好久没看它了，它身上的灰尘也积了不少，我轻轻地用手擦了擦，它便又恢复了昔日的光彩。

买好中国结，回到家里开始编制：首先将两条线对齐，然后对折，找到中点，在中点处，将两条线垂直交叉成十字。用手按住交叉点，随意拿起其中一根，例如：拿起上面的线压向左边的线，左边的线压向下面的，下面的压向右边的，右边的从上面的线圈中穿出，这样四条线依次压住，然后把线都拉紧，就形成了“井”字型，反过来之后，背面是个“十”字。这样，第一步就完成了。下一步还用同样的方法，顺时针压线，再编一次，然后把笔芯放在中间的“井”口中，任然用同样的方法，一直编导需要的长度，然后将线剪断，留0.5公分即可，然后用火机把线头烧熔，用镊子将线头按压在在边口即可。

吉祥彩笔就编成了。

中国结，象征着福运，预示着长寿，代表着喜庆，代表着中国，幸福……中国结，凝结了劳动人民的智慧和汗水。

我，喜欢中国结！

中国传统文化有很多，比如：中国书法、中国象棋、篆刻印章、中国结、京戏脸谱、皮影戏、武术、兵马俑、桃花扇等，还有很多中国的传统节日，比如：春节、中秋节、端午节、元宵节、重阳节等。

我喜欢的有：中国书法、中国结、皮影、武术。最最喜欢的活动就是春节的时候放鞭炮。

传说中，放鞭炮在古代是用来驱赶年兽的。年是一个很可怕的怪物，每到春节的时候就来吃人和动物，人们为了驱赶年，每到春节的时候，就放鞭炮，噼里啪啦，噼里啪啦的响，这样就把年吓跑了，就不敢来了。

现在，人们放鞭炮、烟花是为了欢庆新年的到来，噼里啪啦，噼里啪啦的响，是为了增添节日的气氛。

所以，我喜欢放鞭炮。放鞭炮是一件非常有趣的事。

我国历史悠久，有丰富的传统文化。其中，我最喜欢的是武术。武术是我国独有的，外国人称为“中国功夫”。

中国武术起源于古代战争。传说炎黄时代，东方有个以野牛为族徽的蚩尤部落，崇尚武技，勇猛善斗，特别善于摔跌。他们头戴牛角或剑戟样的装束，与人交斗时，除了拳打脚踢之外，他们善于抓扭、用头顶触对方，使对方不敢靠近，这就叫“蚩尤戏”。蚩尤的角抵是一种徒手搏斗，既可以用于战场，又可以用于平时演练。随着生产力的发展，武术也进入新的阶段。战国时期，诸侯纷争，战争频繁，士兵们在战争中掌握的一些搏击竞技技巧经过慢慢的发展与演化，就形成了后来的中国武术。

武术分为两种，分别器械武术和拳术。器械武术：按照一定程式舞弄刀、枪、棍、棒等器械，形成固定的武术套路，就叫做器械武术。拳术：赤手空拳操练的武术套路、技法都称拳术。拳术也有拳种、流派，如太极拳、长拳、形意拳、八卦掌、南拳、醉拳。

我喜欢武术是因为它可以用于进攻、自卫、锻炼身体。

咱们中国的传统文化博大精深，源远流长。就像一座巨大的宝，有中国书法、篆刻印章、皮影、武术……今天，我就向大家说说中国书法吧!

中国书法是一门古老的艺术，是中华文化的灿烂之花，汉字的发展经过了甲骨文、金文、石刻文、篆书、隶书、草书、楷书、行书这些过程。

从古至今，中国有很多伟大的书法家，有颜真卿、柳公权、苏东坡、米芾、怀素、张旭……王羲之就是我国伟大的书法家之一，人称“书圣”，他的行书《兰亭序》是天下第一行书。

我练习毛笔字已经有一年多的时间了，刚开始写时，毛笔在我手里可“不听话”了，手不停的抖，字也写得歪歪扭扭的，难看极了。

爸爸妈妈说，多多练习，写多了就不抖了。我听了以后，认真地练习，果然，练了一段时间后，手就不抖了，字也越写越好看。

都说“字如其人”，我一定要练好毛笔字，把祖国的传统文化发扬光大。

罩上薄纱的文化神秘而富有魅力。匡衡爱慕文化，他凿壁偷光;孙敬热爱文化，他悬梁刺股;孔子挚爱文化，他废寝忘食。中华文化历史悠久，博大精深，作为华夏子女，怎能不热爱它，迷恋它?

秋风瑟瑟，伴着落叶，我踏入了校园，学习了第一个汉字——“火”。它只由简单的五笔构成，却形象地描绘了火的形态。汉字犹如活泼自在的精灵，蕴含着中华民族独特的审美观。她有形，有义，亦有情。细读她，就如一篇清新华丽的小说;细品她，犹如一幅灵动脱俗的水墨画。启蒙老师曾说过：“汉字她方方正正，是教导我们正直做人;她有菱有角，是让我们学会不卑不亢的态度。”简单的文字却蕴含着如此深刻的含义，让我不得不迷恋上她。

许久后，我有能力读书品字了，变热衷于幽默但极具讽刺意味的寓言故事。“邯郸学步”提醒我不能盲目模仿他人，“愚公移山”激励着我学会执着与坚持，“曲突徙薪”更是让我懂得了事先采取措施防止祸患发生……这样简单易懂的语言文化，使我的童年变得充实，让我从懵懂走向成熟……

渐渐地，我开始接触唐诗宋词，领略文人墨客的风流文采，感受骚客或悲壮或婉约的屡屡思绪。在应诏入京，供奉翰林之际，李白豪情满怀地高吟：“仰天大笑出门去，我辈岂是蓬蒿人。”在国破家亡之时，杜甫浸满忧患的笔下涌出“感时花溅泪，恨别鸟惊心”的绝世佳句。我们虽不能回溯到那个时代，但从他们精简的诗句中领会到李白的远大抱负，读出了晚唐时期社会的动乱。随着时间的推移，随着阅历的增加，随着学识的积累，我愈发能感受到文化散发的阵阵清香，能品味到它独特魅力。文化高雅的气质引领着我走入学海，让我陶醉其中，让我迷恋热爱。

中华五千年文化是一条历史长河，波涛滚滚，前进不息。华夏子孙应坚守本心，让善良相伴，让勇气相随，以诚信为友，以正义为伴，表达自己对华夏文化的热爱，表达自己对传统文化的浓厚情感，让这个拥有五千年历史的民族屹立于世界民族之强林。

一般来讲，人们批评的只是这几个方面。有人说，中国古代的教育太死板;有人说，中国对妇女不公平;有人说，中国古代的科学不发达;有人说，中国太迷信;甚至有人说，中国古代的闭关锁国，才导致现在的落后。我认为，这些不是错的，而恰恰是对的。

洋鬼子信的布尔什维克、马克思等人，他们并不和其他的欧洲人有什么不同。中国近代著名学者辜鸿铭说，欧洲人是不道德的，这完全正确。在中国，封建、资本、共产，乱七八糟的主意哪个都好，只是中国人的文化是千年不变的。经书流传五千年，胡适(陈)独秀毁一旦。中国人很讲礼貌，重礼节、面子，这都是由经书传下来的。

中国的落后，并没有什么可惜。西方的科学都是伪进步。西方人因为本质是不道德的，但我们中国人不是。洋鬼子没有伦理道德，所以他们无权影响中国。

摘录辜老先生的春秋大义一段：“首先，我们来谈谈中国的语言。中国的语言也是一种心灵的语言。一个很明显的事实就是∶那些生活在中国的外国人，其儿童和未受教育者学习中文比成年人和受过教育者要容易得多。原因在于儿童和未受教育者是用心灵来思考和使用语言。相反，受过教育者，特别是受过理性教育的现代欧洲人，他们是用大脑和智慧来思考和使用语言的。有一种关于极乐世界的说法也同样用于对中国语言的学习∶除非你变成一个孩子，否则你就难以学会它。

其次，我们再指出一个众所周知的中国人日常生活中的事实。中国人具有惊人的记忆力，其秘密何在?就在于中国人是用心而非脑去记忆。用具同情力量的心灵记事，比用头脑或智力要好得多，后者是枯燥乏味的。举例来说，我们当中的绝大多数儿童时代的记忆力要强过成年后的记忆力。因为儿童就象中国人一样，是用心而非用脑去记忆。

接下来的例子，依旧是体现在中国人日常生活中，并得到大家承认的一个事实──中国人的礼貌。中国一向被视为礼仪之邦，那其礼貌的本质是什呢?这就是体谅、照顾他人的感情。中国人有礼貌是因为他们过著一种心灵的生活。他们完全了解自己的这份情感，很容易将心比心推己及人，显示出体谅、照顾他人情感的特徵。中国人的礼貌虽然不象日本人的那样繁杂，但它是令人愉快的。相反，日本人的礼貌则是繁杂而令人不快的。我已经听到了一些外国人的抱怨。折衷礼貌或许应该被称为排练式的礼貌──如剧院排戏一样，需要死记硬背。它不是发自内心、出于自然的礼貌。事实上，日本人的礼貌是一朵没有芳香的花，而真正的中国人的礼貌则是发自内心、充满了一种类似于名贵香水般奇异的芳香。”

中国对妇女的问题一直是世界声讨的事情。就这个问题，辜老先生就发表过言论：“女人难以驾驭，所以必须给予限制。孔子曾经说过：‘唯女子与小人难养也’。也许有人会拿出来其他的证据，但是这些证据中的“证据”部分大多是语助词。

科学的问题，应该说，洋鬼子切实应该让我们学习，但不代表中国古代没有科学。最重要的成果就是阴阳学。阴阳学，其实就和洋鬼子的物质学是一回事。

至于闭关锁国，那是最后一项。举一个简单的例子就可以证明：中国派遣的第一批留学生在美国把辫子剪了，长袍脱了，回来不得造反哪!这种情况，不闭关能行么?

大年三十那天有很多习俗，如放鞭炮，吃团圆饭，看春节联欢晚会……我却唯独喜欢贴春联。

大年三十早上，我和爸爸一起去超市买过年的商品，有过年的鞭炮，美味的蛋糕、一大堆的零食……还买了一幅春联和两个福字。啊，这下我可高兴了，我回家要马上把它们贴好。

回到家里，我找来剪刀和双面胶，马上拿起那幅春联小心翼翼地贴在大门上，又拿起两个福字端端正正地贴在大门的左右两边。爸爸出来看见了，连忙说：儿子，你把春联贴反了，春联的上联要贴在右边，下联要贴在左边，因为古人写字时都是从右写到左的。福字也贴错了，要倒着贴。表示福要来到我们家。哦，我恍然大悟，原来贴个春联也有这么多学问，今天我又学到了不少知识，我和爸爸又认认真真地把春联和福字重新贴了一番。

贴好了，我站在大门前仔细端详着春联。红红的纸上写着几个苍劲有力的大字，上联是：人和家和万事兴，下联是：财旺业旺千家乐，横批是：万事如意。寓意着全家新年快乐，身体健康，工作顺利！就像横批所说的那样，祝我们全家万事如意！两个金色的倒福字象征着福要到来了啦……

我喜欢过春节，更喜欢贴春联！

亦浓亦淡的色彩;变化多端的线条;古色古香的书法;构成了一幅古典的国画。在漫长的国画之路上，我幸而有了“四君子”的陪伴，是它们带我走进了艺术的殿堂;是他们赐予我勇气和力量，是它们让我对国画一见倾心……

那是一次平常而又神秘的画展，是它，让我迈出了人生中重要的第一步。走进大厅，大大小小的作品争先恐后的映入了我的眼帘，也充实着我的脑海。我就像走进了一片无边的森林，迷失在千篇一律的彩色中，就在这时，我仿佛找到了出口，不，是我看见了一幅国画。那是一副傲梅图。刚劲有力的墨绿色之感，淡雅却不失高傲的梅花一枝独秀，娴熟的笔法，高超的画技，仿佛赐予了画生命，坚强，高傲的意境显现的淋漓尽致。顿时，我对国画的喜爱之情油然而生，那天，我就做了一个决定，我要学国画。

确定信念很简单，可学习的路途却不是一帆风顺。它坎坷，它崎岖，它处处都布满了荆棘。当时，我并没有学过国画，初学乍练，根本不知道从哪下手，明明心里早已经想好了，握着毛笔却怎么也画不出来，真是“心有与而力不足”啊!老师看了，就过来指导我可不知怎地，一点用也没有，画出来的线还是歪歪扭扭的，这可让我受尽了同学们的嘲笑。渐渐地，我就对国画失去了兴趣，剩下的只有麻木和不知所措。当我几度想放弃时，那副傲梅图便浮现在我眼前，在那段艰苦的日子里，它就是我的精神支柱。连梅花都能挺着风雪，屹立在冰冷的雪地里，我却因为别人的嘲笑就轻易放弃，不，我要坚持下去，让嘲笑我的人看到我的努力!就这样，我再次踏上了学习之路。

在不懈的努力下，我的画技渐渐提高了，画什么都有模有样，当别人在冥思苦想时，我总在埋头苦画，似乎有说不完的心思要注入在笔尖之上。随着大家的夸奖越来越多，我便有点“飘飘然”起来，时不时的嘲笑一些新来的小同学，对同学们的画指手画脚，连听老师讲话也不如从前认真了。老师似乎也看出了我的不认真，便指着我画的大大小小，随手涂鸦的兰花，语重心长的教导我：“看那兰花，是那么淡雅，那么高贵，可它从来不会炫耀本身的美丽，而选择用沉默度过一生。做人就要像兰花一样无论取得了多大的成就，无论自身条件有多好，都不能骄傲自大。老师”一语点醒梦中人“，想想这几天本身的所作所为，我顿时觉得自愧不如。

在老师的耐心指导下，我对国画是越来越”痴迷“了。在寒假里，大家难免要放松一下，开开心心地度过假期，而我最大的放生就是画国画。一天，两天，一张，两张，画画早已成为了我每天必做的事。时间长了，家里的画纸也变得越来越少。妈妈不明白其中的原因，还以为家里遭贼了呢!我的寒假就在画纸的包围下结束了。我惊异地发现，过了寒假，一些同学似乎退步了，连基本的笔法也忘得一干二净。顿时，我恍然大悟，原来画画的过程就像竹子的生命，只有多多练习，打好基本功，让本身的根基稳固，才能牢牢记住技巧，长青不衰，屹立不倒!

就这样，我的画技突飞猛进。在一次比赛中，我遇见了许多强大的对手，让我措手不及，连动一笔也要犹豫半天。就在我最踌躇的时候，我想起了秋菊，它是那样美丽，那样自信，不管别人怎样凋谢，不管人们怎样评价，都用尽全部努力释放本身的光彩和魅力。顿时，我觉得本身又重新充满了自信，我也要像秋菊一样，我用尽本身的全力来参加比赛，让别人看到我的自信与勇气!虽然那天我并没有胜出，可那次比赛却让我受益终生。

梅代表着坚强和毅力，兰代表着淡雅与谦虚，竹代表着勤奋和实力，菊代表着自信与勇气。它们是国画中的四君子，也是我人生道路上的四君子，在他们的陪伴下，我克服了种种困难，重新勇敢上路!

Chinese, is a long civilization; China, is a country with a population of one billion and three hundred million; Chinese, once there are hundreds of millions of poor population eat enough to eat; China, is a weak being bullied!

Due to the decline of country, for many years, Chinese suppressed by foreigners ridiculed as the "sick man of East asia". It caused our anger. Our ancestors after more than 100 years of waging struggle, finally made Chinese in Chinese under the leadership of the Communist Party, the sleeping lion rise up from a nightmare, stand proudly roaring. The thirty years after the reform and opening up, in China under the leadership of the Communist Party, we found the correct road of building socialism with Chinese characteristics; these thirty years, we make two hundred million people out of poverty, the realization of food and clothing, the whole society has entered a well-off stage; in the thirty years, the development speed of China is unprecedented; the thirty years we, the national strength has greatly increased, no one said China is "sick man of East Asia", no one any insult us; this thirty years, we make all attempts to lure and force Chinese go astray, limit the development China dream "bankruptcy" since then, Chinese strong!

China changed from a weak country to become a person who despised the coveted power.

In October 16, 1964, China successfully exploded the first atomic bomb in the western region. This is a major achievement in Chinas national defense construction. In April 1970, Chinese first man-made earth satellite Dongfanghong launch success. This is an epoch-making event in the history of Chinas spaceflight. In October 1969, China built the first underground railway - the Beijing subway, which brought convenience to peoples lives. In February 15, 1985, the Antarctic Antarctic expedition team China built Great Wall Railway Station in georgia. The establishment of the Antarctic scientific expedition has enabled Chinese scientists to contribute to the protection and peaceful use of the Antarctic. In February 1998, Beijing established the first high-tech agricultural base in China. It changed for thousands of years, people have to rely on agriculture on the traditional concept of planting and breeding. In October 15, 2003, the Shenzhou five manned spacecraft launched by ourselves was launched successfully, sending our astronaut Yang Liwei into space and returning to the ground safely on the 16 th. The first manned space flight in China has achieved a successful success and realized the flying dream of the Chinese nation. The successful launch of "Shenzhou five" has broken the situation that a few countries monopolize the space technology in the world, and help the human beings to make peaceful use of space resources and so on.

The clothes that people wear in the past are monotonous and have a single style. Now the clothes, the color and the style are colorful. People can choose their favorite clothes according to their own personality and preferences. In the past, it was often a few generations to live in a house, and it was very simple. Now its spacious and the room is more elaborate. Are these examples not enough to explain the changes in China?

Ah! China, Im proud of you! I want to use my "grass inch heart" to repay your "apartments"! I want to make your glory!
