5篇关于中国文化的英语作文（汇集20篇）

看完这部史诗式的纪录片，虽然是浮光掠影，但对世界大国的崛起历程有了全景式的了解。虽然每一个国家所处的地理环境不一样，走的道路不一样，它们都有许多相似之外：如以开放的心态来迎接世界的变化，及时的把握住历史发展的机遇，政治体制的改革,科学技术的不断创新——归根结底主导国家崛起的力量，还是文化。如西班牙葡萄牙和英国以“开放、冒险、勇敢”的海洋文化，赢得了发展的先机。崇尚自由带有浓厚的浪漫思想的文化特质成为法国崛起的动力。日本民族以其善于学习、快速适应的文化特点，成为后起的大国。是文化的力量，把这个国家的人民凝聚起来，一起投入到了国家崛起的进程中。作品以隐喻的形式，在向我们提出一个严肃的现实课题：中国如何实现自己的民族复兴，中国的大国之梦需要怎样的文化动力――也许这才是这部纪录处真正的意义和价值所在。

中国的崛起是最近二三十年的事情，中国的落后却是一百多年前的事情，但中国的落后的基因却潜藏了两千年，现在依然存在。这种基因潜藏在我们的文化里，潜藏在被封建专治主导的扭曲变异了的儒家文化中，更潜藏在我们的思想里。

在中华民族性格的形成过程中，儒家文化所起的作用是巨大的。应当说儒家文化中有许多积极的成份："忠恕"之道对于敬业精神博爱思想的培养产生过积极的作用;"仁义"对于人生价值的实现有着积极的影响; "君子达则兼济天下，不达则自善其身"，显出了这种文化的积极和豁达;"贫贱不能移，威武不能屈，富贵不能淫"显示出这种文化的刚劲和执着;至于"三纲八目"更为人格的修炼提供了一个规范化的过程。

但是封建统治阶级选择儒家文化作为主导文化，绝不是因为它有这些积极的因素而加以推崇。而是他们看到了儒文化中所倡导的伦理观念很有利于他们的统治。以"孝悌"为基础的伦理观念对家庭伦理、社会伦理，对于个人的道德定位起着重要的作用。但是这种伦理一旦和统治阶级嫁接在一起，就会走向偏执。"君君、臣臣、父父、子子"责任和义务同在的上下关系，演化为"君为臣纲、父为子纲、夫为妻纲"的绝对服从关系;至于儒家本身所倡导的"忠君"思想，更为君王权位的无限扩大提供了思想依据。在儒学发展中有几件大事值得我们回顾一下：一件事是汉代的懂仲舒提出了"君权神授""天人感应"的思想，从而把王权神化，使儒学成为封建统治阶级统治人民的思想工具;宋时的理学，提出了"存天理灭人欲"的思想，也就是要把人培养成一个毫无“人”性的“社会人”，从而使人退缩成俯首帖耳的顺民;隋唐之后又把儒家精典做为科举考试的主要内容，成为教育的主导教材，对于人思想的影响是空前的。许多人一辈子钻在那几本破书里寻章摘句，皓首穷经，出现了多少像孔夫子、范进似的人物。更主要的是在这种正统文化的影响下，造成了中华民族性格的弱化。儒家文化先前所洋溢的刚劲之气开始消弱，人们思想中那种安于天命、逆来顺受的意识开始增强。儒学文化本身的伦理特点，加上统治者把这种伦理特点加以强化，使中国人套上层层的道德枷索，使人的个性受到了压抑,灵性受到摧残，创造力趋于萎缩。

有的人要说了，既然在儒学的影响下人的创造性趋于萎缩，那么，我们古代文明的辉煌成就该做何解释呢?但我要说的是我国古代那些伟大发明和辉煌成就的创造者大都是受儒家文化影响很小的人，或者说就没有受儒家文化的影响。火药的发明源于"道士的炼丹术";纸的发明源于民间;印刷术的发明是一个技术工人;指南针的发明更不是在儒家文化居主导地位的时代。

等级森严的封建制度和尊卑观念极强的儒家文化的结合，使中华民族的性格趋于卑弱。造就两种卑弱性格的人，一种是"独夫"性格，中国皇帝居有至高无尚的权力(是西方封建王朝的君主们所无法比拟)，身为一州一郡的地方官也是一手遮天，所谓"率土之滨莫非王土，率土之民莫非王臣"、"只须州官放火，不须百姓点灯"就是对这种"独夫的"的形象描述。而另一种则是顺民性格，我们称之为"奴隶性格"。鲁迅在他的《灯下漫笔》中尖锐的指出："中国人向来就没有争到人的价格，至多不过是奴隶"，"然而下于奴隶的时候，却是数见不鲜的。"他把中国人的命运归纳出两个反复出现的时代："想做奴隶而不得的时代;暂时做稳了奴隶的时代。"在没有外患的时候，独夫们往往变成狼对所统治下的羊进行敲骨剥髓的压榨和剥削;当外患来临，国家将破的时候，这些独夫就又变成了羊，成了外部势力左右的羊。说的更直接一些：所谓的独夫，他们的血管里流的也是羊血。宋王朝和满清政府就是两个典型的例子。《狼图腾》的作者姜戎先生更是一针见血的指出，儒家文化造就了一只文明的羊。理解了我们汉民族性格中的这种特点，我们就不难理解宋王朝的软弱无能，清王朝的屈辱求和，我们也不难理解抗战之时会有那么多的汉奸，也不难理解两三个日本鬼子就能押送1000多中国老百姓去赴死。

今天，我们不难发现这种扭曲了的文化仍在影响着我们，阻碍着我们的改革进程，成了中国实现大国之梦的羁绊。公民权利被随意剥夺的事情屡屡发生，政府权利的运行得不到有效的监督，官员贪污腐败达到了另人发指的程度(微笑局长的浑身的珠光宝器)。最让人担忧的这种以培养顺民为特色的弱质文化依然主导着我们的教育——牢笼似的学校在培养着一批批弱不禁风、绵羊式的学生。中日学生多次夏令营的体能较量中，我们的学生一败涂地。泱泱在国至今还没有一位中国培养出的诺贝尔获奖者，这不是民族的悲哀吗?今天我们无论如何痛恨曾给我们带来深重灾难的日本军国主义，但是日本民族的“自强坚韧、团结创新”的优秀品质正是我们所欠缺的。谦虚好学是日本人的传统，朝鲜半岛的百济王朝就是他的老师，当唐朝灭亡了百济之后，他反而向唐朝学习;当美国的坚船利炮扣开日本国门的时候，他又向美国学习，向西方列强学习。强烈的变革意识更是日本人的优点，中国历史上的改革鲜有成功的，而日本历史上两次著名的改革促成了日本民族的两次腾飞――公元七世纪的大化革新使日本走上了封建社会，公无十九世纪的明治维新使日本走上了资本主义社会。即使是二战后遭受毁灭性打击的日本，在短短的一二十年又成为了世界强国。“九一八”国耻纪念日，我想我们的“保钓游行”会上演的更加激烈。但是在国耻日，我们是需要的是冷静的思考，思考我们的国家如何才能变得更强大，思考我们曾经以引自豪的文化的需要如何的改造。

今天的中国在貌似强大的表面之下还隐藏着许多问题，需要我们有清醒的认识，更需要我们付出改革的行动。如民主政治的进程，官僚体制的改革，市场经济的进一步完善，文化教育医疗卫生等都需要尽快的改革。这些改革的根本动力是什么?靠几个政治精英，靠国家领导人，都不现实，靠得是十三亿公民意识觉醒的每一个人。当你真正的成为一个公民的时候，你才真正的是这个国家的主人。你就会自觉的投入到社会的变革中，自觉的捍卫宪法所赋予你的权利，自觉的与妨害公民权利的一切行为做斗争，自觉的履行一个公民的责任和义务。而以“法制和民主”为核心的公民思想，正是我们传统文化所缺失的内容。

今天我们要完成民族复兴的伟大的事业，摆在我们面前的任务是艰巨的，我们既要完成未走完的工业化进程，还要积极的面对信息革命的挑战。要想完成这一伟大复兴的任务，除了借鉴外国先进的技术和管理经验外，尤其需要一种强大的文化力量。不断挖掘传统文化中符合时代潮流的思想，特别是做好对儒家文化的扬弃，同时大胆的吸取国外的先进文化，为我们的民族文化不补充新鲜的血液。用再生的文化力量，重新锻造民族的性格，以自豪的公民的姿态，奋发有为的精神，投入到中化民族伟大复兴的事业中。

画面一：“《小马过河》中的小马一生下来就在视频聊天中遇见了小母马，于是它们结婚了;司马光砸缸后救出的是青蛙王子、流氓兔;白雪公主穿着高叉泳装……”《q版语文》就这样把故事篡改了。网上的一份报告显示，有40%的人认为这样做也无妨。文化就是这样被毁灭的。

画面二：一个五岁的小孩朗诵着“日照香炉生紫烟，遥看瀑布挂前川……”上小学二年级的哥哥说：“不对不对，应该是“日照香炉生紫烟，李白来到烤鸭店。口水直流三千尺，一摸兜里没有钱。我们班同学都是这么读的。”一旁的妈妈愕然。

画外音：某些时候，时尚代替不了传统，代替不了我们心中那个不知深浅的小马，机智勇敢的司马光，美丽动人的白雪公主，多才的李白。所以我想，传统更好。

Traditional Chinese culture is beginning to capture the attention of the

world. This is true even as popular culture that has traditionally been

considered Western begins to spread throughout China. Kung Fu, especially, has

had a great impact on the millions of people who first learned about China

through it. From that, they may come to China and learn about other aspects of

this culture, such as traditional operas like the Beijing and Sichuan ones.

Asian nations have long known about the greatness of ancient Chinese culture.

Their own cultures are a mix of native ones and those Chinese characteristics.

Korea and Japan long ago adopted ideas such as Confucianism is something that

continues today even as it is challenged by Pop Culture. This strength comes

from the ideas given in the Four Books of Confucianism (The Great Learning, The

Doctrine of the Mean, The Analects of Confucius, and The Book of Mencius). These

books built upon the ideas of an even more ancient period codified in the Five

Classics. From them, the West learns such things as Fengshui and other concepts

that are uniquely Chinese. China has taken steps to further this spread of its

culture by establishing Chinese Cultural Centers in such places as the United

States and Europe.

汉语，是我们中国的灿烂的文化。那一个个方块字组成的语言，一笔一划间，如同彩带在飞舞，如同一条翱翔在空中的龙，散发着中国宝贵的文化魅力和中国人拥有的伟大的智慧，是我们祖先艺术文化的结晶，是中国的瑰宝。

一个个方块字组成一段语言，这一段语言从我们口中说出，即变成了汉语。以前小时候，我不爱写字，觉得这些文字就像一个个我看不懂的奇怪的符号，每次老师听写字词时，都要错几个，所以之前我觉得学汉字简直太难，可还要一笔一划地记住这个字的笔画，越到高年级这些字就越难。幸亏老师教给我们一个好办法，比如说"翔”就像两只角长在一只鸟头上，鸟的右边还有如同两个羽毛，这样，这些很难的字就被记住了。并且自己还可以发挥想象，把很难的方块字拆成几个好记的字或动作，这样更方便我们记得这些不会写得中国字，后来，我学起语文，记起字就更容易多了。

经过小学六年和初中接近一年的学习，我所积累的文字越来越多，口语表达能力却没怎么提高，比如给我几个很美很有意境的词语，让我造个句，我造的也比不上其他人造的优美。几个词语连成一个句话，看似简单，其实很难，足以体现出汉语需要我们去深入探究其中奥秘。想要说出富有诗意的句子，则必须要有想象力。

汉字，要想写得好看，写得美妙精巧，必须每天练，照那些名人所写得字，一日又一日，一年有一年，你写的字一定会有所进步。字体也有好多种，例如：楷体、魏碑、方正等。这些虽然结构不太同，但每一种都有每一种具有的独特风格。汉字，是我们中国人的母语，学好汉语，认识不同的汉字，是我必须具备的能力。

一个一个的方块字，一句一句的汉语，我们用汉语抒发我们的理想，用汉语书写祖国灿烂的篇章，展示了祖国美丽富强的光辉一面。汉语，中国灿烂的文化，为中国掀开了新的世界，新的未来。

今年暑假，我和爸爸妈妈一起来到了北京。我迫不及待的要去闻名世界的皇家园林——颐和园去看一看。

我们乘车来到了颐和园的北宫门，进入颐和园后，首先来到的是苏州街。它全长三百多米，有六十多间店铺，茶楼、酒店、染坊、钱庄、药铺及小吃店等，一应俱全。真实的再现了中国二百多年前的商业状况。

从苏州街出来，经过智慧海来到佛香阁。佛香阁依山而建是一座八面三层四重檐的阶梯型建筑。它气势磅礴，站在佛香阁上向下望颐和园的美景尽收眼底。

走下佛香阁经过排云殿就来到了长廊，它全长728米共237间，建筑堪称精美。廊间的每根房梁上都绘有精美的彩画，共有1400多幅，这么多的彩画没有一幅是相同的，不禁让人叹之。

通过长廊来到昆明湖，阵阵清凉迎面扑来。昆明湖的水碧绿清澈，十七孔桥就在湖面上，桥长150米，宽8米，是园中最大的石桥。湖面上几只小船在闲逸地飘荡，仿佛把你带入了一幅美丽的画卷中。

颐和园的美景举不胜数，真不愧是世界闻名的皇家园林。

相传，马可波罗在中国当官的那段时期，对中国的饮食文化十分感兴趣，他在回国时把中国随处可见的大饼和面食带回了意大利，这两种食品经过改良后，就成为了我们熟知的意大利面和披萨。而其中我最喜爱的就就是披萨。

如今的披萨真可谓就是风靡全球，据统计，全球有超过200万家披萨店，意大利家庭每周也会吃一次披萨。难怪，披萨正以馅料的多样性和浓浓的中国味，吸引着无数消费者的目光。

披萨的表面就是芝士馅料和各种配料，有香肠、鸡肉、牛肉等肉类，也有黑橄榄、番茄、菠萝等丰富的蔬菜和水果。这些配料在芝士拉丝上宛如一个个小精灵在舞蹈，无论就是素食比萨还就是肉食披萨，它的独特风味都会让你着迷。

面饼和普通大饼一样，但就是无论你怎样吃，都会发现芝士的余香留在了舌尖。各种地区的面饼风味，意大利原味的面饼柔软，带着一种芝士的香味；美式铁盘的面饼香脆可口，更适合喜欢快餐的人们；还有一种芝士卷边披萨，让面饼的边缘的奶香更加浓郁……

这么“中国”的西餐，还真在中国“创”出了一片“天地”。现在披萨也成为了“快餐”，所以无论大街小巷，都有喜欢吃披萨的人，可就是作为快餐的它，却也成为了高雅的代名词。你看，这“西式大饼”就是不就是很有魔力？

中西合璧的披萨深受人们的喜爱，它既保留了中国的传统风味，又让西方文化完美地展现与此。难怪披萨就是我最喜欢的美食。

好现在我就先介绍到这里，大家自己在转转吧，1小时后我们还在这里回合，请大家遵守时间。

nowadays， more and more people like to travel in their holidays。 the other day i read a report about the ways people spend their holidays。 it is reported that in recent yiars several new holiday habits have been developed。 among them， the most interesting one is the growth of the so-called holiday camps。

from the report we can see that in 1990，40 percent of people stayed at home for holidays。 but now the proportion has reduced to 9 percent。 more people go out for fun。 the proportion of camping and traveling abroad was increasing steadily， from 10 percent in 1990 to 38 percent in 2002， and 12 percent in 1990 to 26 percent in 2002 respectively。 people enjoy the fresh air， clean water and green hills when they go camping in the suburbs。 in 1990，38 percent people enjoyed going to the seaside while in 2002 only 27 percent prefer to go there。 what great changes!

why did those changes appear? i think there are several reasons。 first， it s because people can afford traveling。 second， people prefer to pursue a high-quality and colorful life。 third， their attitudes to relaxation have changed。 less people want to save much money by leading a simple life。 in short， peoples living standard today has been rising greatly。

In recent years, there are more and more Confucius Institutes being built

all around the world, which shows that our Chinese culture become much more

popular than ever. As one of the four ancient civilizations, China has long

history and creates many splendid cultures. The ancient culture once had great

influence on the world, such as Japan, South Korea and other Asian and European

countries.

From the respect of school, Confucianism, Mohism, Taoism, and Legalism are

the main schools created in ancient China, and they also have great influence on

the Modern China and the world, especially the Confucianism. They deeply root in

traditional Chinese culture and people’s daily lives.

Specially, kung fu, traditional Chinese painting, poem, opera, cooking,

clothing, architecture and many other kinds of cultural forms make up the

splendid Chinese culture. The kinds listed above are the typical ones which

connect to each other at the same time. For example, painting, clothing and

architecture has many things in common. And each kind of cultural form contains

numerous intentions.

In short, Chinese culture are the accumulation of Chinese history, which

makes Chinese culture colorful and prosperous. If one wants to know or study

Chinese culture deeply, he or she must spend much time in it, otherwise he or

she can only get the tip of an iceberg.

中华武术是属于中国的传统文化之一，它可以强身健体，锻炼意志、培养品德，提高人们的整体素质。

最先接触武术是在20XX年漯河电视台会展中心举办春节联欢会上，一群少林寺的僧人表演的节目。只见他们有的前空翻，有的后空翻，有的舞枪，有的耍剑……最引人注目的是四个僧手持长矛，把一个高僧挑起来，然后高僧腾空而起，用脚一踢，把四根长矛踢成八段，真是武艺超群!

从此我就喜欢上了武术，暑假里，我报了一个武术班，教练教我们练武术，先从基本练起，又练了五步拳、综合拳等套路，一开始练的时候很辛苦，我不太会，还好我有一个小伙在那练武，他很耐心的教我，并且练的时候很辛苦，我浑身酸疼，但我克服了种种困难，认真学，认真练，终于掌握了一些基本功夫，通过练武，我变得勇敢坚强，虚惊好学，勇于进取。

中国的传统文化――武术，你真棒!

中国的传统文化丰富多彩，有京剧、茶、诗、词、饮食、画......但人们接触最多的还是节日。 中国的传统节日多得数不清，清明节、端午节、中秋节、重阳节......第一线一个节日的背后都有数不尽的故事。如，春节放鞭炮是为了驱赶年怪，端午吃粽子是为了纪念大诗人屈原...... 此外，篆刻、剪纸等把我的祖国装点得绚丽多彩。 暑假里，我还在奥运会开幕式上看到了古代的指南针司南、蔡伦发明的造纸术、中国人的造字等许多传统文化。 做一个中国人真自豪啊！

春联，又叫“春贴”、“门对”，它以对仗工整、简洁精巧的文字描绘美好形象，抒发美好愿望，是汉族特有的文学形式，是中华民族的文化瑰宝。它分为上、下联和横批，是对联的一种。原先春联题写在桃木板上叫“桃符”，长六寸、宽三寸，桃木板上书写着降鬼大神“神荼”、“郁垒”的名字。到了宋代，桃符由桃木板改为纸张，叫“春贴纸”和“春联”。桃木的颜色是红的，红色有吉祥、避邪的意思，因此春联大都用红纸书写。传统春联是用毛笔书写的，但亦有印制的春联。每逢春节，无论城市还是农村，家家户户都要精选大红春联贴于门上，辞旧迎新，增加喜庆的节日气氛。

春节前，有一次妈妈和我谈心说：“张喆，你学写毛笔字也有半年了，不知写得如何?不如今年咱们家过年的对联就由你来写吧!”我毫不犹豫的答应了。于是，再去写字班时，我就和老师说了。老师说：“只要坚持不懈、努力练字，到过年时肯定会写一副好春联的。”从那以后，我每天放学后，在完成正常功课的前提下，我又去写字班练字一个多小时。就这样，每天坚持不停的练字、练字。

在腊月二十六这天，老师在街上写对联，也让我在红纸上正式写，我写了两副，老师挑了一副最好的让我带回家，并写了一个“福”字送给我。我是用篆体写的对联，上联是“友善富强甜蜜蜜”，下联是“文明诚信喜羊羊”，横批是“四季发财”。晚上妈妈下班回到家，我把对联拿出来让妈妈看，她一看非常高兴，于是就把对联摆好照了张相，发在微信的“朋友圈”里，有很多人点赞、评论。

在年三十这天，爸爸把我写的对联贴在了我家的门口。春节期间，亲朋好友来我家串亲、访友，看到后都夸我，说我写的字矫若游龙、爽爽有神。还有大姑和妈妈的同事向我索要对联，说要明年春节往她们家门上贴。今年这个春节我过得既有意义，又开心，真高兴!

我决定在今年一年的时间里要加紧认真地练字，争取明年写的更好，多写几种字体的对联送给亲朋好友。

源远流长，博大精深，这是中华传统文化所具有的特质。但是，在当今各种“变异”文化的冲击之下，人们开始亵渎传统文化，把文明积淀看作炒作的工具。这怎能不令人担忧？坚守传统文化的本真，守护心中那泓清泉迫在眉睫。

曾几何时，我们悄悄地淡忘了李白、杜甫，淡忘了那清新自然、沉郁顿挫的气质和风格。微博时代的我们，早已习惯了“蓝精灵体”，习惯了那句例行公事的套话：保护中国传统文化“元芳，你怎么看？”殊不知，在我们戏谑调侃之时，传统文化在离我们渐行渐远。半文半白的“甄嬛体”在社会上风靡一时，不痛不痒、无病呻吟的“琼瑶体”居然号称能“医治心灵创伤”。这时的我们，情何以堪！

当“举头望明月，低头思故乡”被修饰、被改造得面目全非，我们该作何感想？一片真切的思乡之情被无聊地调侃，这是一种怎样的悲哀！对于中国沉淀已久的文化，我们虽然没有能力去完全深谙，但也没有理由不保持它自然之美的本性，更没有资格去胡编乱造，去挑战先人们高超的文学功底。因为我们生在一个有着古老文明的国度，所以我们要坚守本真，不要丢失了对传统文化应有的崇敬和敬畏之心，在传统文化调侃中迷失前进的方向。

在网络高度发达的信息时代，人们追求适宜的精神愉悦本无可非议。但各种不伦不类的体例的出现却是一个不好的征兆。一个国家、一个民族，如果连自己的文化都保护不了，那还有什么存在的意义呢？当我们对“TVB体”、“流氓体”朗朗上口津津乐道的时候，我们是否能够听见那一声声来自于几千年前的天空的无助哀号？

坚守传统文化的本真，并不是要我们一成不变地照搬先哲的思想，创新和突破是必要的，毕竟，那是人们前进的动力源泉。坚守本真，意味着天空的圆月依然是圆月，它是一轮思乡的月，而非被人们俗化了的月亮；坚守传统文化的本真，意味着那融在酒中的是一片真情，而不是被整饰得面目全非的一潭污水。坚守传统文化的本真，给先哲们一份尊重和敬畏，不要矫揉造作，不要画蛇添足，更不要将经典俗化。

保持一颗敬畏之心，坚守传统文化的本真，让自然和谐的春风吹向每一个角落，让传统文化之树绽放鲜花朵朵，滋润万物。

Today, we live in the modern world, most things we do can use the machine. The technology brings so many convenience to us, it facilitates our life. As we are facing the new products all the time, the traditional things are fading away. Take the paper-cut for example. When I was very small, paper-cut was so popular in my grandma’s generation, most women could cut all kinds of interesting shapes.

While today when I went back to my hometown, I found that most of them had stopped cutting papers, because they could buy them at the very low price.

What’s more, the young people don’t learn such art, for the parents think it is not necessary for their children to learn the old-fashion thing. The tradition should not be abandoned, it is the reflection of our culture. Even facing the challenge, we need to inherit the tradition.

今天,我们生活在摩登时代,我们可以使用机器做大部分的事情。科技给我们带来了很多方便,它便利了我们的生活。我们每天都面对着新产品,传统的东西正在慢慢消失。以剪纸为例。在我很小的时候,在我祖母的那一代，剪纸很受欢迎,大多数女性可以剪出各种有趣的形状。现在当我回到家乡时,我发现他们中的大多数已经停止剪纸,因为他们可以以很低的价格购买。更重要的是,年轻人不了解这种艺术, 以为父母认为他们的孩子没有必要去学习这种不时髦的东西。传统不应该被放弃,这是我们文化的反映。甚至面临挑战,我们仍然需要继承传统。

[高中英语作文：传统文化的继承

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.

今天,爸爸让我买花花店,我选三种花:清新雅致的莉莉,温暖的移动的康乃馨,我最喜欢的是姿态万千玫瑰.在花店的玫瑰有许多种颜色:白如雪,红象火,黄的像金的,粉红的喜欢美丽的云……我选择了一个最可爱的深紫到红的玫瑰.会在家里,我插入他们的水罐,坐在桌前仔细观察玫瑰.玫瑰的干得很直很直,有缝隙,那么厚,是几spinules也带来.这个瓶子绿色的叶子是中国橄榄形,也软也是薄、边缘变得锯齿,动脉是动脉分叉.这是一个开放的花芽的渴望,在芽期把它与迷人的迷人的年轻女孩,笑脸包含了春天,美丽的极.第二天一早,我发现玫瑰已绽开了笑脸,一个花小酒杯、花瓣略有有可能成为螺杆式分割开,可是没有看着里面stamen和雌蕊.玫瑰看起来漂亮和富有魅力,我轻轻贴近,深深地吸气!一个光迎鼻孔清香.玫瑰是蔷薇科植物,其祖先是一个everflowering玫瑰,后来都掺杂着野玫瑰,已经成为现在的玫瑰.虽然带着刺的玫瑰,但我同样我喜欢温柔而美丽宜人,芳香四溢的溢出玫瑰.

盛唐，是中国文化史上最高峻、最绵长的一条山脉，而李白无疑是这座山脉的“最高峰”。他如站立在喜马拉雅之上的珠穆朗玛，俯视着中国文化中的一切，也代表着这片天地中“最精华”的一切。

李白，有着中国文化的豪情。伏剑击国，游历天下；散尽千金，挥洒光阴；结交八方豪士，纵览天地无垠；万里江山任由脚步踏遍，无边江湖任由心灵驰骋。在李白的眼里，自己就是“黄河之水天上来”，天地由我一人连。地虽广阔，我也能恣意奔腾，天虽高迥，我也能尽情遨翔。李白的豪情，是西域的情调与中原的古典的融合，包罗万象的盛唐甚至已经盛不下他的豪情，李白的豪情，理应存在于整个天下。

李白，有着中国文化的志向。李白一直都坚信“天生我材必有用”，一直都想象着“大鹏一日同风起，扶摇直上九万里”。修身、齐家、治国、平天下。李白希望以自己的学识与才华，名震江湖，出入朝廷，整顿纲纪，兼济天下，将这一最伟大的盛世延续至千秋万代。

李白，有着中国文化的傲骨。李白不愿意以科举入仕，在他的眼里，这样会玷污他的才华。而他最终也如愿以偿，凭着自己的才华进入了宫廷，到了唐玄宗的身边，但他没有科举的背景，也就没有入仕的资本，他有的只是皇帝的青睐。同时，李白并不满足于成为一个御用文人，他想要有真正的权力，也想要以布衣之身谋求权贵的平等。可是经历了“力士脱靴，贵妃捧砚，天子呼来不上船”之后，无奈的李白只能呐喊着：“安能摧眉折腰事权贵，使我不得开心颜！”最终，赐舍放还，结束了他短暂却传奇的宫廷生活。

李白，有着中国文化的无奈。看似风风光光的赐舍放还，却标志着李白梦想的破灭。曾游历天下的他只能“欲渡黄河冰塞川”；曾胸怀大志的他却只能“但愿长醉不愿醒”；曾一身傲骨的他只能“不敢高声语，恐惊天上人”。李白是一个生活在自己世界里的人，但现实的世界与他的世界相差甚远，即使是盛唐，也没有让他的世界发展壮大的土壤。

李白终究是属于盛唐的，盛唐一去，诗仙也就跟着仙逝了。但李白的精神不会散去，因为它不只属于盛唐，甚至也不只属于李白，它属于整个中华文化。在我心中，李白就是中国文化的巅峰。

In our country .There are a lot of holidays such as Spring festival , Childrens day and May day. All the people in China like these holidays very much.

Spring festival is a popular holiday in china. It is in January or February. People eat a lot of delicious food and go shopping. They usually spend time with their family and friends.My favourite holiday is Childrens day. It is on the first of June. Children usually have parties at school, go to the park and go to the cinema.

My father and grandpas favourite holiday is May day. It is on the first of May. People usually have a long holiday. They meet friends and relatives. They go to parks and beaches. But my father and grandpa planted trees last May day. They were very tired but happy!

We all like these holidays. On the days, we had a good time.

中国的传统文化很多很多，如：中药、春节、古典乐、四大名著、神话故事、糖葫芦、毽子、古代名人、皇泽寺、明月峡……

在汉族节气中，最热闹的要数春节了。每到春节不管老老少少晚上都要聚在一起吃团圆饭。晚上八点看春节晚会，零点左右家家户户开始放烟花爆竹。这些来历是：在很久以前有个叫“年”怪兽每这天就要出来伤害人。有一位神仙说“年怕放炮，怕红色的东西。”当年看到家家户户挂红，放炮就吓得不敢来了。到了后来就演变成了今天的贴春联，放鞭炮。人们也把这天定为过年，于是这就成了风俗。

我最喜欢过年了，因为过年可以和爸爸妈妈一起去走亲访友;想吃什么就吃什么;想玩什么就玩什么;也不用做作业;只要玩的不过分大人们一般都由着我们，爽快的很!随便在长辈面前发挥一下，就能获得一个大红包。

我真喜欢过年，希望天天都过年，大人们会丢下一切陪着小孩四处玩耍，这真幸福!

中秋节，中国人民有着赏月、吃月饼的习俗。 晚上，我们一家吃过晚饭，奶奶搬出桌椅，拿出几个月饼和一壶茶。我们坐在院子里，一边赏月，一边津津有味地吃着月饼。

这时，爸爸给我讲了关于中秋节赏月、吃月饼的来历：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，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。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，危急之时她拿出不死药一口吞了下去。嫦娥吞下药，身子立时向天上飞去。由于牵挂着丈夫，便飞落到离人间最近的月亮上成了仙。傍晚，后羿回到家，知道事情的经过后，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。

秦老师给我们布置了一个作业——搜集中国传统文化的资料。于是我想了今年元宵节的舞龙。今年元宵节我和妈妈看舞龙，我看见那望不到尾的布龙，就像一条无尾龙。好不容易看完布龙，我想回家了，但是又“飞”来了荷花龙。荷花龙把我的脚给勾住了，不让我走，我只好有看着他们舞龙。荷花龙犹如一条五彩缤纷的绳子，这条“绳子”是由许多人拿着假荷花构成的，。之后来了一条板凳龙。这条板凳龙是很多人举着板凳从我们眼前“飞”过，此时我想起了一个故事：很久以前有一个勤劳善良的夫妇，男的叫百叶，女的叫荷花，他们相敬相爱，他们住在荷花村。这年荷花怀孕了，过了是十来月，孩子却没生下来，又过了一年，还是没有生下来，直到九百九十九天，才生了一个男骇。百叶见孩子生得端正健壮，他好喜爱，仔细一瞧，倒是错愕不已：孩子的胸部和脊背上长着细细的龙鳞，金光闪闪，有九百九十九片。旁边的人看见了，就喊着：“你生了个龙种。”过了很长时刻小龙的身体渐渐变大，化作了数十丈的长龙，飞上天空。

自此以后，每逢干旱，小龙就来散云播雨。百姓为了它，就采摘了七七四十九朵荷花，用了九百九十九片花瓣，制作成一条花龙。每年春节，老百姓就要敲锣打鼓来舞龙。舞龙的创造和流传是全中华民族光辉历史的一部分，为我们的民族和人民所喜爱。我觉得中国的传统文化十分搞笑，你也能够查一查，你会发现中国传统文化有多么丰富多彩。
