In the afternoon of the second day of the year, my mother and I went shopping and went to the square of the Cultural Palace to see the sea of people in the sea. Refurbishment of a new square is beautiful and elegant!

The fountain is on the south side of the square. The fountain now turns from the original circle to a rectangle. It has three steps, and the water flows down the upstream to form two beautiful falls. The water column that draws out attracts people from all sides. The water column is suddenly high and low, thick and thin. Some of them go straight to the sky, just like a crystal rod that is crystal clear. Some of them are scattered to the four sides, as if a blooming flower is blooming. With the music, they are constantly changing the beautiful posture, reflecting the brilliant sunshine and giving out the brilliant glory.

We are back to feel shy about in situ. Its a bit of a scent, but it doesnt taste like it.

New years happy new year, people with a sweet smile on the face, the air echoed with the singing of joy, I feel how happy!

我爱书法，不仅爱它的结构，还爱它的外形，意境。甲骨文，金文……这些象形文字的演变，是一种希望，是中华文明永久传承的希望；是一种寄托，寄托着中国人对祖国的热爱；更是一种精神是一种精益求精，积极向上的精神。

我喜欢他们的结构。我有时看到花体的英文，会对它甚是喜爱，那用钢笔巧妙拼凑的美丽曲线，实在令人对其赞叹不已。但是，这些英文始终是由一个个字母构成，单看一个字时，只会因为其形式的优美而喜爱，不会想到更深远的意境。而汉字却不同了，看以前的古文时，就算从未接触，也可以根据其意境将其含义猜个八九不离十。那是一种汉字中的意境，意境中的诗，诗中的山水画。看看用毛笔写的“一”字吧，要是仔细看看“书圣”王羲之的“一”，你就会发现那不同寻常的美。毛笔轻轻一顿，收笔一提，就造就了如此美丽的汉字。它的结构单一它的结构单一，就是简简单单的一横为何给人一种用千言万语都无法描绘出来的感觉呢？似乎无法将其强硬地安在一个形容词之上。这就是中国书法，这就是它的强大魅力！

我还爱它们的外形，意境。你看，那简简单单的笔画，是那么优雅，细腻，又有“飞流直下三千尺，疑是银河落九天”一般的壮阔。简单的汉字在书法家们灵活的笔下行云流水，栩栩如生地展现出来，似一汪清泉从山涧流下，没有丝毫拖泥带水。当我用眼睛仔细的欣赏这字时，仿佛被这小小的字带到了一个奇异而美丽的地方，有“行到水穷处，坐看云起时”的一般闲适；有“更怜故乡水，万里送行舟”一般的不舍；还有“大漠孤烟直，长河落日圆”一般的孤寂……一个小小的汉字，竟有如此深远的意境。这，就是中国书法，这就是中国书法的强大魅力！

现代化的风謿洗去了糟粕，但也在侵蚀着中华文化的精华。朋友，也许你已经很少写字，更不用说写毛笔字了，也许你经常用手敲击着骨干的键盘，目不转睛地盯着荧光屏，不妨去看看名家的书法，再亲手临摹一下，你一定会重新热爱汉字”体会到中国书法的魅力。让我们从新拾起蒙尘的笔，一同书写中华文明的美丽画卷吧！

TheDragonBoatFestivaloccurs on the fifth day of the fifth moon of the lunar calendar(阴历). It is one of the three most important of the annual Chinese festivals. The other two are the Autumn Moon Festival and Chinese New Year.

The story of this colorful festival concerns a famous Chinese scholar-statesman(政治家) named Chu Yuan(屈原) who, some three centuries before the birth of Christ, served the King of Chu(楚怀王)during the Warring States period. As a loyal minister(大臣), Chu Yuan at first enjoyed the full confidence and respect of his sovereign(君主). Eventually, through the intrigues of his rivals, he was discredited(不足信的, 不名誉的).

Chu Yuan was never able to regain(恢复) the emperors favor and on the fifth day of the fifth moon in the year 295 B.C.(Before Christ), at the age of 37, Chu Yuan clasped a stone to his chest and plunged into the Milo River(汨罗江) in the Hunan Province(湖南省).

Respecting the minister as an upright(正直的) and honest man, the people who lived in the area jumped into their boats and rushed out in a vain search for him. This unsuccessful rescue attempt is a part of what the Dragon Boat Festival commemorates every year.

Probably the most exciting and interesting aspect of the festival is the racing of the Dragon Boats. These races not only symbolize the peoples attempt to save Chu Yuan, they also demonstrate the Chinese virtues(美德) of cooperation and teamwork.

Another activity of the Festival is the making and eating of a kind of dumpling called Tzungtzu (粽子). When it became known that Chu Yuan was gone forever, the people, living along the river, threw cooked rice into the water as a sacrifice(祭品) to their dead hero. They wrapped(包) rice in bamboo leaves(粽叶), and stuffed(填满) it with ham, beans, bean paste(豆沙), salted egg yokes, sausages, nuts, and/or vegetables.

To the Chinese the fifth lunar moon is more than just the Dragon Boat Festival. Since antiquity(古代), they have believed that this month is a pestilential and danger-fraught(瘟疫的及充满危险的) period. Children born in this month are said to be difficult to raise(抚养), and people tend to concentrate their efforts during this time attempting to protect their families from ills and misfortune. The day of the Dragon Boat Festival is customarily the time when cleaning and sanitation(卫生) are stressed(着重, 强调). Most families hang calamus(菖蒲) and artemisia(艾草) above their doors, both as a decoration and as a preventive against pestilence.

Ancient folk medicines(民间药物) such as realgar(雄黄酒)are added to the food eaten on the Festival day. This is believed to prevent disease and to promote a healthy digestive system(消化器官). The drinking of realgar in wine supposedly relieves(解除) the effects of poisons accumulated in human bodies.

The sachets (Hsiang Pao in Chinese香包) are very popular with children and they vie(竞争) with each other to collect as many as possible. Children are not the only ones who collect Hsiang Pao. Older people are often given them as a symbol of respect, and they are highly prized because of the intricate(复杂的) and beautiful embroidery(刺绣) that adorns(装饰) them.

The Dragon Boat Festival is an entertaining and enjoyable event. It gives the observer an opportunity to glimpse a part of the rich Chinese cultural heritage

1、Its Chinese name "Qing Ming" literally means "Clear Brightness," hinting at its importance as a celebration of Spring. Similar to the spring festivals of other cultures, Tomb Sweeping Day celebrates the rebirth of nature, while marking the beginning of the planting season and other

outdoor activities.

New year, every family is decorated, a pair of couplets express people hope for the coming year.

Today is new years Eve once a year, my grandmother woke up to get together for lunch, mix fragrant dumplings, the whole family together into battle, a row of dumplings like to read the soldiers neatly on the steamer, a dumpling which packs a clean one dime coin, grandma say: "who eat out who is blessed this year."

A busy morning, a sumptuous lunch on the table for lunch, in the laughter and bang bang in the clink of glasses. Suddenly, uncle "ah" sound, took out a coin from his mouth, said: "this blessed, all with my daughter light." Uncle aunt recently happy dragon. There was another laugh on the table.

Happy time always flies blink year is about to ring the bell, people have lit fireworks, the fireworks in the sky a riot of colours decorate exceptionally beautiful, deafening firecrackers resounded through the night sky. I am happy to give the whole family a new year, to Grandpa, grandma, Dad, mother to a red bag!

The new year has begun. Im going to be a new one for a year.

On New Years Eve, our class had a party. The atmosphere was good.

It was out of the ordinary from the very begining. The boy student from one bedroom gave an unusual performance. We saw a boy named Li Xinmin turn off all the lights in a sudden snap. Then with three resounding crow of a cock echoing in the hall, the hall was again brightly lit in a snap.

中国有悠久的历史，有许多丰富多彩的中华传统文化。作为一名中国娃，我们也应该了解祖国的历史，了解祖国的传统文化。于是，我们开展了一次小队活动，来研究中华传统文化。

我们以扇文化为本次四叶草小队的研究主题，接着队长开始分工，每个人都有各自的任务，最后我们把所有的资料集中起来，做成PPT，准备汇报。

现在就让我开给大家一一讲解吧！扇子，最早的名称叫“翣，”在我国三千年前就已经有蒲扇和竹扇了，但人们一开始并不是用扇来乘凉，而是在王和后的身后立着，以示威风。到了汉代，湖南的竹扇和山东的娟扇才用来乘凉。相传那时，长安有个特别厉害的工匠——丁绥，曾制出一种很大的七星扇，可以让许多人感到凉爽。

扇子不但有悠久的历史，还有许多各种各样的用途呢！扇可用于消暑，古代女性用来障面等。但大家知道吗？扇子也是一种身份的象征，不只是中国皇族，连欧洲的贵夫人也很重视扇文化呢！

为了更加深入的了解扇子，我们四叶草小队来到了中国扇博物馆参观。在这里我们了解了五大名扇的分类、扇子的种类和样式、扇子的文化寓意……知道了羽扇和龟扇的材料、扇的故事。我们还动手自己做了各种各样的扇子，真是形态各异。

从这次活动中我增长了许多知识，例如：做队长要有耐心、学会了关于信息技术的知识……

这一天是鬼节，奶奶说对于小孩子来说并不是喜庆的日子。听老一辈人说“这一天啊！许多鬼魂要被放出来，去看望自己的亲人，所以不能让我们撞见喽。”

夜穿上黑衣，便拥有了几分神秘。街上没有一个人凉风不断的吹来虽然是夏天但是还是让人发冷。只有几个人蹲在自家门前烧纸钱。奶奶也要去烧纸钱，我不能出门只好趴在窗头静静的看着，奶奶在纸钱上写下爷爷的名字。我好奇的问：“为什么要写上爷爷的名字呢？”老妈笑了笑：“怕爷爷收不到钱，就被其他的鬼抢走，所以要写下爷爷的名字。”“哦”。我对妈妈的回答半信半疑，街上好冷清，稀稀落落地滴着雨。连猫也躲开了，这个节日大概是让人们去怀念自己死去的家人，能让我们的家人有一种安息的意思吧。

纸钱一张一张的烧了起来化做了浓烟。满载着奶奶、我、爸妈，饱含着对爷爷深深的思念。火烧的越来越凶，成为了灰。“爷爷能收到吗？”说来也巧，奶奶上来，家中无意发现了一只不速之客蟋蟀，我正要上前打死它的时候。奶奶却阻止了我。我疑惑了，为什么额。 奶奶却说：“传说死去的人在鬼节因思念亲人化身做小虫子飞到自己亲人家中去看望他们。以知道亲友的平安”。奶奶用树枝挑起了小虫，飞吧，飞走吧。那小虫似乎在留念什么，依依不舍的飞走了。我的鸡皮疙瘩再一次冒了出来。完了，今天晚上一点睡不着了。一闭上眼睛，就感觉有什么东西在眼前乱飞。。。。。。鬼呀！别吓我了，好不好？！

第二天早晨，我被昨晚的事吓的魂不首舍。

姐姐看我两眼肿得都有黑圈，问我怎么回事。我把人家传说的鬼节的故事说了，姐听了笑个不停……后来姐告诉我说，其实“鬼节”的真名叫“中元节”，在农历的七月十五。是传说中地官的生日，所以又称“鬼节”。佛教徒这天要设“盂兰盆”，施斋供僧，举行诵经法会以及水陆道场、放河灯等宗教活动。

我想想，也是！我确实没看过有鬼嘛！

I earnestly hope to lead a healthy and prosperous life in the future. Judging from my aptitude inclination and personality streaks, my ideal life will be that of a scientist, researching, lecturing, and writing books. As I am from a farming family, I particularly enjoy being close to earth. If I can afford to live a pastoral life in the countryside, I will feel most blessed. As far as social life is concerned, simplicity is what I intend to pursue, so I really

dont need too many friends. All these will be mere talk if I am idle now. To attain my goal, I must make a point of training my body and mind. This is a highly competitive society in which everyone is eager to come out on top. That is not only a competition of physical strength and mental power, but a marathon of patience, faith, and perseverance. Life is not all roses, but with what I am being equipped with by the top teachers in this elite school, I surely deserve a promising prospect。

中华民族拥有五千年的关辉历史，中华民族的传统美德和民族精神源远流长。传统美德强调以德为本，每个人都应该培养良好的品德，树立以道义为重的人生观和价值观。

作为祖国未来的建设者，我们应该继承和发扬中华传统美德，弘扬民族精神，我认为，弘扬中华传统美德第一位的是要热爱祖国。古往今来，多少文人志士在爱国和气节方面为后人做出了榜样，无数为国捐躯的先烈用生命谱写了爱国主义乐章，新时代的青少年一定要以此为榜样，时刻以祖国利益为重。其次，我们还要立志奋发，要立鸿鹄志。一个国家要立于不败之地，必须要有奋发向上的精神，有志者事竟成，奋发图强既要从大处着眼更要从小处着手，要从自我做起。

弘扬中华传统美德还要诚实守信。翻开历史，我们可以看到许许多多诚信的故事!曾子杀猪为一“信”，商鞅变法首先取信于民;汉代的季布“一诺千金”是诚信，同仁堂三百年金招牌不倒是诚信;信陵君因诚信而得到侯生与朱亥，抗秦救赵，名扬四海;刘皇叔因诚信打动了诸葛孔明，成就霸业，天下三分。

人生呼唤诚信，时代呼唤诚信，国家更呼唤诚信。我国是个有五千年光辉历史的文明古国，诚信一向是中国人引以为傲的美德，我们应该将其发扬光大，古人有“君子一言，驷马难追”，“言必行，行必果。”的“喻世明言”，今人有“以诚实守信为荣，以见利忘义为耻”的“警世恒言”，都在提醒我们要言而有信，可见诚信在为人处世、立身行事之中是多么的重要。

言必信，行必果。当言必信，行必果时，就能取得别人的信任。当言而无信之际，就会吃到苦头。

Nowadays,high school students hold different opinions about after-class activities.there are two quite different phenomenonena.

Some students are crazy about sports and some other activities.they spend much time in joining the outdoor activities and varies of groups , and also,making new friends.However,they pay a little attention to their studies.

On the contrary, some students spend almost of their time in studies and dont enjoy attending other activities.

In my opinion,I think neither of them is correct.I think we should study hard,but we also need time to relax ourselves,because if a one in a good state,he can do better.

我国是一个有着五千年悠久历史的文化古国，中国的传统文化博大精深，在我们的生活中处处可见。我们学习的唐诗、宋词、四大名著，我们用的文房四宝，我们吃的中药，喝的茶，还有我们拉的二胡，吹的笛子，我们穿的唐服，用的瓷器等。我们的传统节日，很多事情有各种礼仪和习俗，每个地方还有各地民族特色。

过春节可以收到象征着祝福和平安的压岁钱，过清明节可以祭拜去世的亲人，过端午节可以吃到香甜软糯的粽子，中秋节是全家团圆吃月饼、赏月的日子，重阳节是登高、佩带茱萸的好日子。在所有的传统节日里，我印象最深的还是端午节。

我国的每个传统文化都有它的一个历史背景或是一个经典故事，中国的传统文化可真是博大精深，源远流长啊!

我爱我们的祖国!

春节是我国的传统节日，一到春节，人们就喜气洋洋。有的放着烟花爆竹，有的在贴对联，还有的在挂灯笼。你们知道春节是怎么来的吗？就让我来讲讲这个神话故事吧！

传说，很久以前有一只叫做？年？的怪兽。每到除夕夜都会到村庄里面去祸害百姓，搞的民不聊生。后来有一个老人来到这个小村庄，老人问农民：？听说每到除夕夜，你们这里就会有一只叫年的怪兽来捣乱，我是特地赶来处理这件事的。？人们不相信这位老人可以赶走年兽，所以没人理他。到了除夕夜，人们又像往年一样躲了起来，只有那位老人留在村庄里。年兽出来了，老爷爷拿出一副对联贴在村口，又点燃了一挂爆竹，年兽一看，吓得赶忙逃跑。原来，那位老爷爷是神仙，特地来赶跑年兽，保护百姓。另外，老爷爷临走前，还留下三件东西来对付年兽，分别是灯笼、爆竹、对联。从此这件事就被传开了，以后每到除夕夜，人们就在家门口贴上对联，燃放爆竹，从此以后年兽就再也不敢来了。

这个故事是不是很有意思？过年还可以吃年糕，吃饺子，放烟花，还有很多其他的习俗。

过年真是非常的有趣，家家户户都是喜气洋洋、开开心心、快快乐乐的。我很喜欢过年，因为有很多好吃的东西，还有新衣服穿。希望每个人都过一个开开心心的年。

我的家乡是世界著名的的风筝之都潍坊，又称“鸢都”它坐落在山东半岛地区，南临沂蒙山，北靠渤海湾，是一个人杰地灵，风光秀丽，物华天宝的好地方。 潍坊国际风筝节与北京地坛庙会、哈尔滨冰灯节、自贡灯会并称为全国四大群众文化活动。

欢迎大家来到我们潍坊，潍坊欢迎你!

中国的传统文化可多了！我一下子还说不完，今天我就给大家介绍中国的陶瓷艺术吧！

中国传统陶瓷艺术，尤见装饰匠心；中国传统陶瓷装饰形式，大体上有刻镂、堆贴、模印、釉色、化妆土、彩绘六类型；图案纹样装饰于陶器早在新石器时代的仰韶文化中的彩陶上就已出现。先民们感受生活的自然现象创造出波拆纹、圆形纹、编织纹等图案，以二方连装饰形式呈现在陶瓷器物上，在西安半坡遗址出土一件绘有精美的人面和鱼纹的彩陶盆是新石器时代彩陶中的精品。陶器上的纹饰体现了先辈们对于自然和人自身观察的结果，陶工们对于点、线、面的熟练融合，对于花纹繁密的组合，以及对于旋纹与孤线的审美感，不但表明了他们对于自然和人类自身有了一定的认识，而且还表明了自然界已经脱离了他们的原貌，增加了人的思想和人的想象力，以及人对自然的美化和崇拜。商、周时代是以青铜器为时代标志的历史阶段，这一时期的陶瓷纹饰和青铜器饰相似，刻纹白陶的烧制成功是制陶工艺上的一个重要的里程碑。它用高岭土制坯，烧成的温度达1000多摄度，素洁可爱的造型与优美的纹饰相结合，逗人喜爱。追溯中国历史各个时期的陶瓷产品，陶瓷装饰有两大特点：一类是以适合陶瓷器皿上进行工艺换表现形式；另一类是以中国绘画形式在陶瓷器皿上进行工艺换表现形式。

中国传统的艺术——陶瓷的故事是多么有趣啊！陶瓷还是我国最为大的创造呢！

暑假期间，我看了《中国诗词大会》，那脍炙人口、博大精深的诗词深深地震撼着我！

中国的诗词真美，它天然去雕饰，自然纯粹；它香气馥郁，四季飘香，它悠长缱绻，绵延古今！

我轻轻翻开《唐诗宋词》，和诗人一起畅游在自然山水之间。“日出江花红胜火，春来江水绿如蓝。”“接天莲叶无穷碧，映日荷花别样红。”“相看两不厌，只有敬亭山。”“远上寒山石径斜，白云深处有人家。”水绿山青，正是天然之色彩。

“迟日江山丽，春风花草香。”“兴尽晚回舟，误入藕花深处。”“冲天香阵透长安，满城尽带黄金甲。”“梅须逊雪三分白，雪却输梅一段像香。”这是四季飘香之气息。

“两个黄鹂鸣翠柳，一行白鹭上青天。”“两岸猿声啼不住，轻舟已过万重山。”“千里黄云百日曛，北风吹雁雪纷纷。”“黑云翻墨未遮山，白雨跳珠乱入船。”这鸟鸣猿啼风吼雨声，实乃天籁之音，绵延悠长，绕梁不绝。

古诗词不仅处处描绘着自然万物，也深深寄托着人们的感情。

诗词中有真情。“慈母手中线，游子身上衣”的慈母情；“桃花潭水深千尺，不及汪伦送我情”的挚友情；“独在异乡为异客，每逢佳节倍思亲”的思乡情……这浓浓的感情，无一不体现出中华儿女的真性情！

诗词中有大义。岳飞精忠报国，死而后已。他一生征战无数，以至于匈奴兵对他闻风丧胆，他率领的岳家军打出了我堂堂中国的威风。“醉卧沙场君莫笑，古来征战几人回？”“粉身碎骨浑不怕，要留清白在人间。”“人生自古谁无死，留取丹心照汗青。”……这舍命为国、坚守情操、誓死不屈的英雄气节，让我们深深体会到什么是顶天立地的中国人！

静夜中，晨日里，每当我一卷在手，读着读着，就会神游在古诗里。忘记陪伴我的只是简单的桌椅，也常常忘记我只不过是一个六年级的小学生。吟诵古诗，我仿佛来到智慧的源头。我们中国人的智慧在古诗里，我们中国人的美在古诗里，我们中国人的历史也在古诗里。中国的古诗词是传统文化中一朵永不凋谢，瑰丽的奇葩！

中国诗词你最美！一景一物，一花一草。只要我们用心去体会，去感受，就能遇见最美的它！

我喜爱中国诗词的唯美！但我更爱我们伟大的祖国！身为中华的炎黄子孙，我们为你骄傲，为你自豪！

每年的农历5月初五，是国内的传统节日——端午节。这一天，家家户户都非常热闹，大家不只要包粽子，而且还要打大饼和米糕。

听母亲说，端午节还有一段历史呢。古时候有个叫屈原的诗人，因热爱祖国而不被理解，遭到了屈辱便来到江边，跳进了江里，溺江而死。大家打捞了很久也没捞到他的尸体，他们担忧他的尸体被鱼吃掉，就把包好的粽子扔进江中，让鱼吃粽子而不要去吃屈原的尸体。因此，每年的这时，也就是端午节大家就包粽子来纪念屈原。

在我的家乡端午节是如此过的，大家早早的起床，到外面去，采上一段柳条，拿回家里，插到了户门上。另外，孩子子们的脖子上戴着香囊，同时手、脚腕系上五彩线绳，传闻可以避邪驱虫，将来会有福气。大大家呢?坐在一块包三角形或者四面体形的粽子、打米糕、打各种口味的大饼。吃着香喷喷的粽子，我就产生了学包粽子的想法，随即告诉了母亲，但母亲不同意，在我的坚持下，母亲才答应教我，我开心的直跳。

制作粽子并非一件容易的事。母亲教我的步骤也非常紧凑，第一让我拿好粽叶，接着卷好粽叶，同时把糯米、花生、大枣，放进卷好的粽叶里，待所有些东西填满后，就把粽叶根据四面体或三角形状包起来，之后用粽绳系在粽子上。如此一个完整的粽子就包成功了。我最初包粽子并非非常不错，在母亲的帮忙下虽然我包了好多奇形怪状的粽子，但也领会了包粽子的乐趣。等大家把所有些材料包完后，母亲把包好的粽子放进锅里去煮，几个小时后香喷喷的粽子熟了，把粽绳解开，一阵阵苇叶的清香撒出来，被人谗言欲滴。

真期盼今年的端午节快点到来。

糖画，我们小朋友再熟悉不过了，以糖为材料，以勺子为画笔，以糖稀为墨，“大笔一挥”只一会儿工夫，各种生动的图案造型就在艺人手中活灵活现。这可是我们中华文明古国悠久的一门艺术呢!

我曾经就见过一个“糖画陈”，他做的糖画，吃了一口就停不下来，你可别不信!没吃过的不会信，吃过的恐怕魂儿都勾去了呢!

我每次路过小街，就要买“糖画陈”的糖画。我走上前转动木盘上的竹签，停——“哦!是凤凰!”，我兴奋不已，这可是我第一次抽到凤凰呢!糖画陈笑着夸道：“小姑娘，运气不错啊!”话音刚落，糖画陈将糖浆舀起一勺，画出了凤凰的动态。

他神色泰然，目不转睛地盯着缓缓流下的糖稀，手起起落落，一会左，一会右，一会儿轻，一会儿重，滴、点、戳、压，这些技法是如此熟练。我看呆了，手也不由自主地跟着他上下左右地挥动起来。风头、凤爪、凤身，“刷刷”两下就完成了，那可真是不费吹灰之力。凤凰的身子完成了，接下来就轮到重头戏了——凤尾。他挥毫泼墨地画了几十条线，它们互相交错着。糖画陈的脸上流露出享受的神情，手上下起伏，挥洒自如，如同一位隐居的艺术家，情趣横生。不经意间金灿灿的凤凰羽毛丰满了，展翅欲飞。这“凤凰”如此活灵活现，真担心他会从我手上飞走，忍不住紧紧攥住竹签，一手还挡在上方。抿了抿，真甜!

我心里甜甜的，它不止是一种食品，还是人们智慧的结晶，是一件耐人寻味的艺术品。糖画陈那神乎奇迹的手法真令我拍手叫绝。那位糖画陈见着我快乐的神情，也露出了微笑……

在富民商业街里，摆了很多档位。厚街有许多传统美食，如：南瓜饼、马蹄糕、客家糖环、松糕、粽子、糖不甩、寿司、香蕉芋角、笑口枣等等。在这些传统美食中，有些食品五颜六色形状各异，如南瓜饼是黄澄澄的，上面还印了一些图案;马蹄糕是透明的，里面有一些“马蹄”;寿司的颜色有绿的、红的、黄的、紫的等等。它们的配料和味道也各不相同：马蹄糕是冰凉的;糖环由白糖、糯米、鸡蛋混合做成的;松糕由白糖、糯米、花生等混合做成的;粽子是由艾叶、猪肉、糖(盐)、草、糯米等混合一起做成的;糖不甩里面有糯米粉和片糖;寿司里面有黄瓜、香肠、肉丝、鸡蛋、紫菜;香蕉芋角里则有香蕉和芋头……。

一位做马蹄糕的阿姨向我们介绍了马蹄糕的做法：第一步：把马蹄去皮洗干净并切成小粒。第二步：把水和糖以10﹕9放进锅里，煮成浓的糖水，再用水和马蹄粉以重量2﹕1混合成生浆糊。第三步：倒生浆糊到糖水里，边倒边搅均匀，做成半生半熟浆糊。第四步：把马蹄粒倒进半生半熟浆糊，并搅均匀，然后用盆装好，大火蒸三十分钟即可。

在谈到举办美食节的意义时，镇教办王剑雄主任说：“我很赞同举办美食节，这样可以让更多人了解厚街的美食，有利于保留厚街的传统美食，也利于发扬厚街传统的文化，在生产、制作这些美食的传统工艺过程中，也体现了厚街劳动人民的智慧才干，同时希望年轻一代能继续发扬厚街人民的优良传统美德，为厚街乃至全国的建设贡献自己的力量。”

是的，举办美食节，既能保留传统的美食，又能发扬传统的文化!让我们共同努力吧!把厚街建设得更美好!

The August Moon Festival orMid-Autumn Festival (Chinese characters above) is one of the traditional Chinese holidays. It is held on the 15th day of the 8th lunar month. Chinese legends say that the moon is at its brightest and roundest on this day. Based on the Gregorian calendar, this years August Moon Festival will be held on September 19.

The August Moon Festival is often called the Womens Festival. The moon (Chinese character on right) symbolizes elegance and beauty. While Westerners worship the sun (yang or male) for its power, people in the Far East admire the moon. The moon is the yin or female principle and it is a trusted friend. Chinese parents often name their daughters after the moon, in hope that they will be as lovely as the moon.
