照家乡的老规矩，春节差不多在腊月二十几就开始了，在这段期间，家家户户忙着打扫屋子，洗床单窗帘，买腊肉香肠等吃的东西，准备过年。腊月二十六家家贴红红的对联，可喜庆了。

除夕真热闹。家家赶做年夜菜，到处都是酒肉的香味，男女老少都穿起新衣。一家人围在一张圆桌上开开心心的吃连夜饭，大人们还会给孩子门压岁钱。除夕家家灯火通明，不许间断。天一黑，滨江路上就开始放起了鞭炮，礼花，满天五彩滨纷的礼花，鞭炮声不间断。午夜零时，全城礼花声鞭炮声震耳欲聋，仿佛要把整幢震垮似的。这一夜，除了很上的孩子，没有什么睡得站，都要守岁。我 却在凌晨一点方左右，就呼呼大睡了。

正月一的光景与除夕截然不同;铺户都关门休息，门前堆放着昨夜燃放的爆竹纸皮，全城都在休息。这天，大多数人们都去逛公园，逛庙会，可开心了。

元宵上市，春节的又一个高潮到了。正月十五，家家张灯结彩，红火而美丽。还会在那里赏月，圆圆的月亮，像一个大九的玉盘。家里在电视机面前，看元宵“喜乐会”，一家人你一句我一句的，十分开心。

家乡春节多姿多彩，最快乐的当属我们小朋友了，除了能得到压岁钱以外，最开心的是我们可以轻松自在的玩耍。过年真快乐!

正月十五一过就是春节的末尾了，该工作的工作，该上学的上学，日子恢复了往前的平静。

Similar to the importance of the Christmas Day for the westerners， the Spring Festival is the most important celebration for Chinese people. Although the meaning and the methods of celebration of the Spring Festival are changing with the time， the important status of the Spring Festival is incomparable.

Chinese Spring Festival has a long history， which is nearly four thousand years old. Initially， the festival had no name or fixed date However， people called Spring Festival “the age” according to the revolution period of Jupiter by B.C. 2100. Before B.C. 1000， people used “the year”， which means “Great Harvest” representing the Spring Festival.

According to the traditional custom， the Spring Festival lasts from the 23rd day of 12th lunar month to the 15th day of 1st lunar month， and the climax should be the New Year Eve and the first day of first lunar month.

类似于圣诞节对于西方人的重要性，春节是中国人最重要的节日。虽然庆祝春节的意义和方法随着时间的变化，春节的地位是无与伦比。

中国的春节有着悠久的历史，这是近四千岁。最初，该节没有名称或固定日期，然而，人们称为“春节”根据公元前2100年木星的革命时期的时代”。在公元前1000年，人们用“年”，这意味着“大丰收”代表的春节。

按照传统习俗，春节是从第十二月第二十三日至第一月第十五日，高潮应该是除夕和正月初一。

Hello ！welcome to the special Chinese new years edition of discovering China. Im Alina Li and Im Ben Hedges, and today well be taking you through some of the most important traditions of Chinese new year and historical background. We will look at some of the legends behind Chinese new year and how to celebrate it. Here in the US and Chinese across the world.

The Chinese have specific way to celebrate their new year. If you walk down the street in Chinatown during Chinese New Year, you see a variety of ancient traditions such as red banners, firecrackers and lion dance performances, streets are filled with lively celebration.

However, legend has said that the new year has not always been a time of festivity. An Asian Chinese story told a chilly start to this festive holiday, it begins with an ancient Chinese beast called Nian.

Every New Year Nian would rise from swelling in the sea to ravage Chinese village in livestock and hurting people. The villages soon found out from a wise gray-haired old man that the only way to scare the beast away was to set off firecrackers and light lamps and to hang red banners on each door. As the story goes, this was the beginning of a tradition that would last thousands of years.

So this story leads to the creation of many of other traditions for celebrating Chinese New Year. lets take a look at some of these traditions.

People all know, the Spring Festival to set off firecrackers and stick couplets. How do you know this custom? Let me tell you the truth. Legend there is a monster -- years, often in the big start harassing people celebrate the Spring Festival, so the people in the village is to the mountains to get away from the monster - years.

The second in the Spring Festival, people ran to the mountains to escape. Just at that time, a white-haired old man stopped people ran to the mountains, said: "we dont panic! I know how to hold off years." People dont believe, more quickly jump into the mountains.

In the evening, the years. Grandpa took out a string of firecrackers, out of the room in the body wearing a piece of red cloth, ran out of the room.

To the door, rattled off firecrackers bang ring, red cloth fluttering in the wind, was afraid to go forward, turned and ran. People cheering ran down the hill, praised the old man is very clever.

Oh! Afraid of sound and red. So, people new to set off firecrackers, stick couplets.

人们都知道，春节要放鞭炮，贴对联。你知道这个习俗是怎么来的吗?让我来告诉你吧。传说中有一个怪兽——年，常常在大年初一来骚扰人们过春节，于是，村里的人们就会到深山去躲避那个怪兽——年。

第二个春节到了，人们都跑往深山去躲避年。正在这个时候，一位白发苍苍的老爷爷挡住了跑往深山的人们，说道：“大家不要慌!我知道怎么挡住年。”人们不相信，更加快速地跳往深山。

到了晚上，年来了。老爷爷从房间里拿出一串鞭炮，在身上披了一块红布，就跑出了房间。

到了房门口，鞭炮霹雳啪啦地响，红布在风中飘动，年顿时不敢往前走了，转头就跑。人们欢呼着跑下山，称赞老爷爷很聪明。

哦!原来年怕声音和红色。所以，人们过年都要放鞭炮，贴对联。

说到春节，大家一定都不陌生，可你们知道春节的来历吗？

春节有很悠久的历史呢，传说古时候有一种叫“年”的怪兽，它头长触角，凶猛异常。每年除夕“年”都会爬上岸，吞食牲畜伤害人命，十分可怕。据说“年”最怕红色、火光和炸响。所以每年除夕，人们家家贴红对联、燃放爆竹以驱除“年”；户户烛火通明、守更待岁。初一一大早，还要走亲访友道喜问好相互庆贺平安度过了“年”关。这风俗越传越广，便成为中国民间最隆重的传统节日——“春节”。

一直是个小书迷的我，今年早早地就在盼着这个隆重节日的到来了，一则我喜欢热闹，喜欢看天空中五彩缤纷的烟花绽放出的美丽，二来我不仅可以享用美食给我带来的盛宴，更可以享用书本给我带来的盛宴了！因为我早已和妈妈约好，今年的春节，我的新年礼物由新衣服改为一套“儿童文学套餐”了！

过年放烟花爆竹已经成为了一种风俗，爱热闹的我当然不会错过这个放烟花的好机会。年三十，我和妈妈买了许多烟花和爆竹，有“吉祥如意”、“蝴蝶”、“火箭”等好多种类。晚上，我和爸爸妈妈来到楼下，找了一块空地，尽情地放烟花。我先放了“吉祥如意”，一朵朵灿烂的烟花在空中绽放了，犹如一朵朵花儿，漂亮极了。接着我又放了“蝴蝶”。看！淡紫色的烟花在空中绽放后，立即分散开，形成了一只美丽的蝴蝶图案，可惜这只“蝴蝶”只在天空中持续了4秒钟。在我的强烈攻势下，不一会儿，一大堆烟花便化为了无数碎片和尘埃……我们本该放完烟花就回家的，可我仍然恋恋不舍，想在楼下继续欣赏天空中烟花那别样的美丽。瞧！那边的烟花在空中绽放后，像流星一样落下来，漂亮极了！这边的烟花虽然不是很大，但也十分漂亮，淡紫色给人一种高贵的感觉，很吸引人。渐渐地放烟花的人越来越少了，我们也兴高采烈地回家收看春节联欢晚会了。

午夜零点的时候，随着赵本山爷爷小品的热播，新年的钟声敲响了，我们迎来了最让我兴奋的一天——兔年春节！只见妈妈为我端来了糖水，寓意我的生活从今天开始一年都是甜的。爸爸拿出给我买的玩具——一个彩色弹力球，祝我的生活越弹越高、越弹越美。最激动人心的一刻，是妈妈拿出了我的最爱——儿童文学套餐！新年礼物一到手，我的眼皮就开始打架了，不知不觉间我枕着心爱的读物睡着了，我知道醒来后还会有美食带来的快乐。

不出我所料，今年的饺子特别美味可口，我真地馋涎欲滴喽！春节快乐，快乐春节！美哉，我的快乐春节！

正月十五吃元宵，在我国是由来已久习俗。人们在元宵节吃汤圆，实际上是思念亲人、渴望团圆的意思。

Eating Tangyuan is an important tradition for the Lantern Festival. Tangyuan, also know as yuanxiao, is a Chinese food made from glutinous rice flour mixed with a small amount of water to form balls and is then cooked and served in boiling water.

吃汤圆是元宵节的一项重要习俗。汤圆，又名“元宵”，是由糯米粉等做的球形食品，一般有馅料，煮熟带汤吃。

Traditionally, the balls come stuffed with sweet black sesame paste, although the fillings can vary. Tangyuan are eaten during Lantern Festival because of a homophone for union.

通常用黑芝麻做馅，但又不仅限于黑芝麻。据说元宵象征合家团圆美好，吃元宵意味着新的一年合家幸福、团团圆圆，所以正月十五元宵必备。

Decorating and hanging lanterns is the main tradition of the festival, with lanterns big and small hung around households, parks, streets and other public spaces. Red lanterns of various shape and type will attract countless visitors to watch.

正月十五赏花灯是元宵节必有的另一项习俗。人们把大大小小的花灯悬挂于家门口、公园、街道或者其他公共场所。各式各样的红灯笼将会吸引无数的游客前来观赏。

Solving riddles on lanterns has been a popular tradition since the Song Dynasty. People write riddles on paper and stick them to the lanterns and if someone guesses correctly, they can pull the riddle off. The notes often contain messages of good fortune and wishes.

从宋代开始，猜灯谜就是一项非常受欢迎的民俗活动。人们把谜语写到纸上并悬之于灯，供人猜射。通常，谜底都是各种吉祥话和祝福。

The lion dance is one of the oldest traditions to celebrate the Chinese New Year. In ancient times, people regarded the lion as a symbol of bravery and strength and believed the dance could drive away bad fortune to protect people and their livestock. The custom has continued to the modern day and lion dances are performed at important events on the Chinese calendar, such as the Lantern Festival, to bring good luck.

舞狮子是另一项庆祝新春的古老习俗。在古代，人们把狮子作为勇气和力量的象征，认为舞狮可以消灾降福。所以舞狮子的传统就延续至今，并且每逢佳节或庆典，如元宵节都会以舞狮子来祈求好运。

Dragon dance is a form of traditional dance and performance in Chinese culture. Like the lion dance it is most often seen in festival celebration. The dance is performed by a team of dancers who manipulate a long flexible figure of a dragon using poles positioned at regular intervals along the length of the dragon.

舞龙灯是中国独具特色的民俗活动。与舞狮子一样，每逢佳节，人们都要耍龙灯。表演者由数十人组成，每人用一杆间隔支撑起一条长龙。

Chinese dragons are a symbol of China, and they are believed to bring good luck to people, therefore the longer the dragon in the dance, the more luck it will bring to the community.

龙是中国的象征，相传龙能够带来吉祥和好运。耍的龙灯越长，就越能给当地人民带来好运。因此，每逢春节、元宵节，人们都会举行耍龙灯的活动。

Walking on stilts, or Cai Gaoqiao, is another popular traditional performance for the Lantern Festival, especially in Northern China. According to the archives, our Chinese ancestors began using stilts to help them gather fruits from trees. This practical use of stilts gradually developed into a kind of folk dance.

踩高跷是元宵节的另外一项重要民俗，尤其是在北方地区。根据记载，我们的祖先踩高跷是为了从树上摘果子。之后，高跷就发展成为一种群众性技艺表演艺术。

[关于春节的英语作文150词

Waking up on New Year, everybody dresses up. First they extend greetings to

their parents. Then each child will get money as a New Year gift, wrapped up in

red paper. People in northern China will eat jiaozi, or dumplings, for

breakfast, as they think "jiaozi" in sound means "bidding farewell to the old

and ushering in the new". Also, the shape of the dumpling is like gold ingot

from ancient China. So people eat them and wish for money and treasure.

Southern Chinese eat niangao (New Year cake made of glutinous rice flour)

on this occasion, because as a homophone, niangao means "higher and higher, one

year after another." The first five days after the Spring Festival are a good

time for relatives, friends, and classmates as well as colleagues to exchange

greetings, gifts and chat leisurely.

China has 56 ethnic groups. Minorities celebrate their Spring Festival

almost the same day as the Han people, and they have different customs.

闽南一带乡村过年习俗显得与城市不尽相同，乡村农家，房多门多，除了贴春联外，房门两侧还要搁置两株圈贴红纸的连根甘蔗，叫“门蔗”，方言“蔗”与“佳”近音，寓意进入佳境。厅堂中案桌摆有隔年饭、长年菜、发糕，并插上用红、黄两色纸扎的“春枝”，寓意饭菜长年丰足，吉祥发财，每家要把薯藤柴枝堆垛大门外，点燃待其烟绕火旺，男人依辈分跳过这堆火焰，边跳边念：“跳入来，年年大发财;跳出去，无忧共无虑;跳过东，五谷吃不空;跳过西，钱银滚滚来。”这叫“过火群”，象征烧掉旧岁的邪气，消灾过运，迎来干干净净、大吉大利的新年。

“跳火群”后，就要用新扫帚打扫厅堂，扫完后扫帚畚斗搁在一起，垃圾堆放门边，希望如愿再从畚帚中走出来，帮助发家致富。同时要把跳火群未熄的余灰收集一些添于炭炉中，叫“添旺”，象征更加兴旺。家长率子女围坐炉旁，叫“围炉守岁”，最好通宵达旦守着，据说这是为父母添寿。此时，长辈给晚辈分压岁钱，叫“分圆”。随着社会进步，生活节奏加快，闽南乡村一些繁琐的习俗已逐渐被废止了。但农家企盼好年景的风俗仍保留下来。特别是“围炉”在腊月寒冬，全家人围在暖烘烘的小炉旁痛饮畅谈，述旧岁展望未来，那是多么温馨，多么幸福。

正月初一，黎明开门，梵香燃爆，曰“开正”。晨起祭祀祖先，是日，粪土不倾户外。

正月初三，为丧家清新愁(即烧新床)之日。凡在初一、二未到过之友家，是日应勿往访，访即为不敬。有谚语曰“初一早，初二早，初三困甲饱”，意思是初三日无客登门，晚起无妨。那么这个习俗是怎么来的呢?相传，明朝嘉靖年间，倭寇占领厦门外岛浯屿。一年除夕夜晚，官兵忙于过年而疏于守备。大股倭寇乘机攻城，军民奋起抵抗敌人，激战二日三夜，倭寇才败退，但城内军民伤亡极重。初三日，百姓各自收埋亲友，吊丧亡灵，哭声震天，无暇到别家登门拜年。第二年初三日，厦门居民把此日作为忌日，久而久之，成为惯例。

正月初四，奉佛人必焚纸帛与马，接神，系迎接十二月二十四日的送神。

正月初九，玉皇诞辰，香案敬神。惟丧家要停祭两年。

正月初十，地诞。是日不砍柴、不掘土。并以普通物品祭敬。

正月十三，关圣帝君诞辰，商家均有祭敬。

正月十五，上元或日元宵，即三官大帝诞辰，闹花灯。

以上就是我家乡——福建的春节习俗。小伙伴，一起来，更精彩哟!

九百六十万平方公里的土地，寸寸土地寸寸风俗，五十六个民族，五十六种民俗。三十六个省区，三十六种文化。每个地区的民风民俗都各具特色。现在让我给大家介绍我们家乡的风俗吧。

“吃完腊八饭，就把年来过。”过年不是大年三十那天，而是一个时期。为了“年”，大家要做很多准备工作，让年味更足：二十三祭灶关，二十四扫房子。二十五糊窗户，二十六蒸馒头，二十七杀肥鸡，二十八打糍粑，二十九炸和卤。一切都是按着传统程序进行，所以这些日子家家户户都是家家飘香，户户欢腾。

到了腊月二十三，族长就会请漆匠来给菩萨贴金。漆匠在贴金前，要念经请菩萨退位，然后在菩萨全身刷上一层生漆，再把黄金贴上，菩萨焕然一新，漆匠在念经请菩萨归位。菩萨贴金后，族长将菩萨安置在木制轿内，然后放在祠堂前。从腊月二十四起，族里的年轻人就抬菩萨满村游走。

到了年三十那天，大家都早早起了床，女人们进厨房准备年夜饭，熬浆子贴对联是男人们干的活。贴对联要先贴正屋，先把横批贴个“福星高照”，还要注意上下联，右为上联，左为下联。接着再贴各房门，还要贴些小签：“出门大利，抬头见喜”是贴正屋门上，“百无禁忌，万事如意”要贴正屋墙上，“五谷丰登，六畜兴旺‘是贴谷仓和牛猪鸡圈的。过路人一看，大门都贴了新联，就知道这家要准备吃年夜饭了。

差不多八点就开始吃年夜饭了，鞭炮声陆续响起，此起彼伏，要持续2个多小时。一挂鞭炮中间不能熄火停响，炮声越急越密越响，来年就越兴旺。放了辞岁的鞭炮，还要奏上欢快的音乐，一家老小就开始吃团圆饭了。

吃完饭之后，男人们还要带上斧头上山收“财”，他们要砍一棵大树，并连根挖起，做守岁的“柴火”，这棵树要一直烧到初一早上，就是“火大财大”。小孩子们要拿出爆竹和烟花，一直闹到凌晨十二点五十九秒。这大年三十的灯不能黑，要彻夜亮灯。预示来年前途光明。

一年又一年，“年”就这样在传统的紧密急促的程序中，在灯火通明的夜里，在们兴奋和疲惫的鼾梦中渐行渐远。

我的家乡的春节习俗有很多很多，有大扫除、购年货、包饺子、拜年等等简直数不胜数。 我和爸爸也按照习俗去购年货。大街小巷里，买年货的人们数不胜数。小摊上，小店里的东西琳琅满目。摆满了鲜艳的衣服、有好吃的食品、以及各种各样的烟花爆竹。真是让我大饱眼福。我和爸爸又开始了疯狂大抢购，各种各样的东西被我们一扫而光，鞭炮、衣服、食品装了满满一大袋子。 我的家乡最少不了的一项习俗当然是包饺子了。

每逢春节，家家户户都要包饺子。我们家当然也是不例外的啦！ 除夕之夜，我和爸爸妈妈就开始包饺子啦！包饺子还需要技巧呢！我负责擀皮，我这里擀擀，那里擀擀，简直就是四不像。妈妈给我做了示范，包饺子应该均匀的擀，让它在擀面杖上转起来，这样就可以擀的圆圆的了。我按照妈妈的办法，怎么也不能把这个“淘气鬼”制服，还是擀的乱七八糟。

不过经过我九九八十一次的艰苦训练，我终于把这个淘气鬼给制服了。 我们这里包饺子还要包里面钱呢！只要谁吃着带钱的饺子，就代表着他在这一年中平安无事，运气很好。谁要是吃的最多，谁就是一家之主。我们家也包了好几个钱呢！我和爸爸妈妈都想吃到钱。我为了得到拿到那几个硬币，于是抢了很多的饺子。嘿嘿！我们家里的钱竟然被我吃到了三个，把我的牙都快咯坏了！

吃过饺子之后，我们当然还要放鞭炮，放鞭炮可是我们男生最喜欢干的事情。我们拿起一个烟花，迅速点燃。顿时，天空中出现了五彩的烟花，美丽 极了。 我们这的春节习俗最重要的就是拜年了。每逢过新年 时，家家户户都要回老家给爷爷奶奶 磕头，给他们拜一个年，说一些祝福 的话语。然后长辈们就会给我们一些压岁钱，发一个红包。然后再与亲戚们一起吃一顿团圆饭。表达互相之间的感情。

回到老家，心里可高兴了，春节习俗总会让我吃惊不小，最普遍的就是以下四个了：吃年饭，看晚会，午夜放烟花和拜年。

大年三十，舅舅舅妈等亲戚都欢聚一堂，外婆外公满脸喜悦，开心地忙碌着。对，今天我们要吃年饭了！“噼里啪啦”，一阵鞭炮声响起，年饭做好了！当然，吃年饭总忘不了土地爷爷，敬几根香，摆几碗菜和一碗饭，求土地爷爷保佑，来年丰收。接下来，便入席了。吃罢年饭，大家都坐在炉子旁边聊天。外公外婆这时候可就忙咯！吃年饭（也可以说是团圆饭），是春节的重要习俗之一，不管是在哪儿，大家都会赶回来，和家人一起共享这美好的时刻。吃年饭时，大家总有很多话要说，说工作，说家庭，等等。吃年饭的时间是不一样的，只要家人都到齐了，想什么时候吃都行。

晚上，就剩下自己家的人了。在看春节联欢晚会之前，是我最期待的时候：收压岁钱。恭喜发财，红包拿来！大舅舅一个，小舅舅一个，外婆一个……大家都忙活完了，该坐下来休息休息了，于是，我们便团聚在一起看春节联欢晚会。边看边聊，仿佛话总也说不完似的。总算熬到12点了，午夜烟花快燃放了！“轰！”一个礼炮打响了，天空顿时蒙上了一件五彩斑斓的彩衣。随着第一个礼炮的打响，各家不约而同地放出了各种款式的烟花，每一家的屋顶上都挂上了一个美丽的帽子。放烟花的声音震耳欲聋，五彩的烟花使我眼花缭乱。我和大舅妈跑到楼顶上观看烟花，我兴奋得直跳：“我这次苦熬到12点真是没白费，这真是太壮观了！”午夜放烟花，有可能是每个地方都有的习俗，有可能是我们家乡特有的一种习俗，但都一样，我见识到了，你们也听说了！

这天，是初一，才刚起来，就听见门外一阵拜年声：“给您老拜年了啊！”“哎！来了来了，新年快乐！”“新年快乐！”这时候，外婆正忙着做早餐，外公则正忙着招呼人。“坐一下吧啊？”“不了不了。”这样的对话总会听见很多次。我赶紧吃完早餐和小舅舅他们出门了。小舅舅的双胞胎女儿紫依和紫芊各提着一个袋子，每到一处袋子里的东西就会增加一点，可高兴坏她们了。所谓的拜年呢，就是挨家挨户地走动，有时候会在哪一家坐一会儿，聊聊天什么的。而小孩子就提着个袋子去拜糖。声明一下啊，我可没有哦！

今天是除夕夜，妈妈不用上班也休息在家了，我可高兴了，因为明天就是大年初一了。

“过年啦，过年啦”，我欢天喜地地拉着妈妈的手叫嚷着。妈妈看着我兴奋的样子也忍不住笑了起来，妈妈微笑着说：“今天是大年三十，最传统的习俗就是在这天包饺子，春节吃饺子是一项传统，有喜庆团圆和吉祥如意的意思，今天我们就包饺子，迎新年。”我连忙拍手并自告奋勇也要参与，妈妈同意了我的要求并叮嘱我把手洗干净。

一会儿功夫，我就看见妈妈已经把一切都准备好了，桌子上已经放好了饺子皮，一碗清水，还闻到了好香的韭菜味馅，我最喜欢吃韭菜肉馅的饺子了。这时候妈妈对我说：“宝贝，我们开始啦，你帮妈妈打下手，我包好后你给这些饺子排排队。”我听话地点点头。我看着妈妈很熟练地把饺子皮放在手心上，用筷子夹了一些馅放在饺子皮当中，沾了点清水两手一压一个饺子就成型了，妈妈刚包好两个，我就迫不及待地把包好的饺子一个个排在竹匾里，这些饺子就象穿着白色军装听话的士兵一个个排着队，真有意思。

半个小时过后，所有的饺子都包好了，妈妈把这些饺子放入窝中煮熟，捞出来我还帮忙把一盆盆煮好的饺子端放在台上，叫上外公外婆和爸爸一起吃。

看着大家围坐在一起吃着饺子，我心里黙黙地祝福着，愿大家新年快乐，身体健康。

Several days before the new year， people begin to prepare。 Farmers kill pigs， sheep， cocks and hens。 City dwellers buy meat fish and vegetables。  Houses are cleaned； coupletsare posted on the doors。 Colourful lanterns are hung at the gate。

On the eve of the new year， each family has its members gatherd together and eats a family reunion dinner。 After the meal they watch TV until the clock strickes twelve。 Then every family sets off long strings of small firecrackers and other fire works to wele the new year。 On the first day of the new year， almost everyone is dressed in his or her best。 When people meet on the way， they say to each other "Happy New Year"。 Friends and relatives pay new year calls and gives presents to each other。 Children indulge themselves in games。

新春佳节降临，万象更新，象征着一年的开始；标志着人生的另一个起点。

新春佳节之所以是一个极为重要的节日，是因为通过这个节日的庆祝仪式，能加强家庭联系与亲情。诸如吃团圆饭、向亲友拜年送礼等等，这些习俗都在提醒人们，家庭在社会中的中心地位。世界各地凡有华人聚居的地方，无不隆重而热烈的庆祝这个节日。新春佳节的庆祝活动，从农历正月初一开始到农历正月十五，一连15天。

古代帝王继位，为了显示“天子”的权威，往往自立历法，因此历代元旦月日都不一致。汉武帝继位，决定重修历法，使之统一。今日我们所采用的历法是汉武帝以后，经过多个朝代修定的。

历代皇室庆祝“新春佳节”的场面往往反映出那个朝代的强盛、稳定与繁荣，国家越富强，庆祝仪式就越隆重。

为了接待亲戚朋友上门拜年，家家户户都在节日前把住家里里外外，打扫得干干净净。一些家庭还在门上贴上春联，写上吉祥联语，祈求好运，年年丰收。

春联在我国华人社会已逐渐简化了。今天我们还可以看到人们把象征吉利的“春”“福”等单字当作装饰品挂在门上或墙上，有者还特意把这些单字倒贴，那是因为“倒”与“到”谐音，表示“春到”、“福到”的意思。

To tell you the truth，I don t like the Spring Festival at all.

When I was young I liked it very much，because I could had something tasty to eat during the Spring Festival，and I could enjoy very wonderful TV programmes，too，I also could had much free time during which I could did something I liked to do.

I don t like it now， there are many reasons.

Firstly，I can t have a good time during the Festival.

Every New Year s Eve something unpleasant often happens.

Once I quarreled with my second brother.

Secondly，I can t relax myself during the Festival.

I have to do many things，watch so many TV programmes， meet so many people，all these things make me very tired.

Thirdly，spending one Spring Festival means that I become one year older，I don t like to be old.

I want to live longer and be young all the time.

Readers， what is your opinions about the Spring Festival?Please tell us，we can share our opinions.

Thanks for reading! Goodbye.

春节传说：熬年守岁

守岁，就是在旧年的最后一天夜里不睡觉，熬夜迎接新一年的到来的习俗，也叫除夕守岁，俗名“熬年”。探究这个习俗的来历，在民间流传着一个有趣的故事：

太古时期，有一种凶猛的怪兽，散居在深山密林中，人们管它们叫“年”。它的形貌狰狞，生性凶残，专食飞禽走兽、鳞介虫豸，一天换一种口味，从磕头虫一直吃到大活人，让人谈“年”色变。后来，人们慢慢掌握了“年”的活动规律，它是每隔三百六十五天窜到人群聚居的地方尝一次口鲜，而且出没的时间都是在天黑以后，等到鸡鸣破晓，它们便返回山林中去了。

算准了“年”肆虐的日期，百姓们便把这可怕的一夜视为关口来煞，称作“年关”，并且想出了一整套过年关的办法：每到这一天晚上，每家每户都提前做好晚饭，熄火净灶，再把鸡圈牛栏全部拴牢，把宅院的前后门都封住，躲在屋里吃“年夜饭”，由于这顿晚餐具有凶吉未卜的意味，所以置办得很丰盛，除了要全家老小围在一起用餐表示和睦团圆外，还须在吃饭前先供祭祖先，祈求祖先的神灵保佑，平安地度过这一夜，吃过晚饭后，谁都不敢睡觉，挤坐在一起闲聊壮胆。就逐渐形成了除夕熬年守岁的习惯。

守岁习俗兴起于南北朝，梁朝的不少文人都有守岁的诗文。“一夜连双岁，五更分二年。”人们点起蜡烛或油灯，通宵守夜，象征着把一切邪瘟病疫照跑驱走，期待着新的一年吉祥如意。这种风俗被人们流传至今。

今天晚上，我来到阳光作文班来学作文。上课了，只见唐老师笑咪咪地走上了讲台桌，给我们看了两张图片，让我们猜是什么游戏。大部分同学都说出了答案—抢凳子。

是，今天我们玩游戏就是抢凳子。规则是这样：六人一组，但只有五张凳子，当裁判就“开始”时，队员就开始跑动；当裁判说停时，就马上去占其中一张凳子。其中会有人没凳子坐，那同学就被淘汰了。同时也要拿出一张凳子。这样，占到最后一张凳子人就是冠军。

比赛开始了，第一轮是挑战赛，是三个组之间较量。分别是“无名组”、“火力银电组”和“快乐组”。另外我们还选了三位小裁判呢！三个组都派出了两位选手来参“战”。“开始！”唐假裁判发令。同学们都围绕着五张凳子跑了起来。谁知唐假裁判抢了裁判口令“停！”其中四位同学不分清红皂白地听了停这个字，就坐了下去。“哈！”唐假裁判大笑，“你们中计了！”那几个同学这才反映过来自己中了唐假裁判花招了！最后，冠军揭晓，是“快乐队”！很多人都笑了，还有人对唐教师行为抗议！

亚季军争夺也很有趣，有个同学看凳子抢完了，不知所措，到底是谁喊，到底喊没喊，只能睁着眼看着凳子被抢完。最后，“火力银电队”是亚军。“无名队”是季军。

友谊赛………

这次活动告诉我们：友谊第一，比赛第二；还告诉我们做事不能盲目，要仔细分清对与错。

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

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

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

The Spring Festival is very important to Chinese people。In the past，people could not often have meat，rice or other delicious food。They could only eat these during the Spring festival。So every year they hoped that the Spring Festival would come soon。Now，although people‘s life is much better，and we can eat the delicious foods everyday。People still like the festival。Because most people can have a long holiday，and we are free to go on a trip or visit our friends or have parties with our family。In the evenings，we can have a big meal in the restaurant or stay at home with family and watch the TV programmes。

I like the Spring Festival very much。How wonderful the Spring Festival is！

春节是中国人民非常重要。在过去，人们不可能经常有肉，大米或其他美味的食物。在春节期间他们只能吃这些。所以每一年他们希望春节很快就会来的。现在，虽然人们的生活要好得多，我们可以每天吃美味的食物。人们仍然喜欢这个节日。因为大多数人可以有很长的假期，我们可以去旅行或访问我们的朋友和我们家有聚会。在晚上，我们可以有一顿大餐在餐馆或呆在家里和我的家人看电视节目。

我非常喜欢春节。春节是多么美妙！
