春节习俗英语的作文(经典20篇)

过年了！过年了！家家户户忙着贴春联，剃头发，做年夜饭，放鞭炮……要做的事情太多了，而且“规矩”太多了！有些习俗还很怪，弄得我丈二与尚——摸不着头脑。无奈之下，我准备去问正在贴春联的爸爸。

“贴错了，贴错了！”我看见爸爸将“福”字倒着贴，焦急地喊起来。“没贴错！”爸爸不紧不慢地回答。“那为什么要倒着贴？”我疑惑不解。爸爸解释道：“将‘福’字倒着贴是一种习俗，‘福’倒贴说明‘福’倒（到）了！”“哦，原来是这样！那过年还有什么习俗与规矩呢？”我又发出疑问。爸爸停下手中的活，耐心地给我讲解起来。

原来，过年还有一种放鞭炮的习俗，来源于“年兽”的故事。很久以前有一只“年兽”，长期居住深海底，到了除夕就跃出海面到处作恶。有一年一个老人用放炮，穿红衣，贴红春联的方法驱赶走“年兽”，这才得以平静，此后这个方法就流传开来，直至今日。

听完爸爸的讲解，我这才恍然大悟。我又问爸爸：“为什么理发要赶在二十七呢？”“哦，民间有一条俗语，叫‘二十七，剃精细，二十八，剃傻瓜！”“原来是这样！”

我又发问：“那为什么要大扫除呢？”爸爸说：“大扫除是为了扫除一年的晦气！这是好兆头！”“那为什么送礼全送橘子啊？”我又不懂了。“这是因为啊，橘子的‘橘’字与‘桔’意思相同，而‘桔’与‘吉’又很相近，大家在新春佳节用橘子相互馈赠求个大吉大利！”“原来如此！”爸爸又说：“还有‘接财神’这一习俗。正月初五是财神的生日，在财神生日到来的前一天的晚上，各家各户办酒席，为财神爷过生日。”我这才全明白。

今天我知道了很多过年习俗的知识，不过我觉得太迷信了！但这又仿佛是一种乐趣，只要快乐就好！何必迷信不迷信？

同学们，我对“年”的习俗收获很大，可我不知你们的收获，若有更新奇的，快来告诉我吧！我先在这里祝你们新年快乐，万事如意！

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。

[英语作文：新年习俗

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。

Origin of the Spring Festival

Spring Festival is the lunar Suishou, is also our ancient traditional festivals. Ancient-off "year" is not in the twelfth lunar month on the 29th or on the 30th, but in the "wax on", that later, "Laba." Southern and Northern Dynasties later, the "wax Festival" to the end of the year. To the Republican era, the switch to Gregorian calendar was only then that the lunar year is called "Spring Festival", because the Spring Festival is generally in the "Spring," both before and after.

翻译：春节，是农历的岁首，也是我国古老的传统节日。古代过“年”不是在腊月二十九日或三十日，而是在“蜡日”，即后来的“腊八”。南北朝以后，把“蜡祭”移至岁末。到了民国时 ，改用阳历，才把阴历年叫“春节”，因为春节一般都在“立春”前后。

春节的习俗可真多呀！比如放烟花就是其中的一个。

每当除夕夜来临的时候，家家户户都喜欢放烟花。烟花点燃后像火箭一样冲上天空，在空中爆炸，形成五颜六色、各种各样的形状，有彩花、大树、奔马、奶牛、银蛇……犹如烟花的海洋，非常壮观。

相传放烟花是因为在很久以前，有一只叫“年”的怪兽，见人就吃，十分可怕。后来，天神知道“年”见人就吃，就从天上下来，把“年”锁在深山里。每年除夕，天神下来把“年”放出来。人们在除夕夜把肉类食品从屋里拿出来，供给“年”吃。人们发现燃放烟花爆竹可以把“年”赶跑，就喜欢上了这一招。从此慢慢地形成了除夕夜放烟花爆竹的习俗。

春节是很重要的节日，春节的习俗还有很多，如：拜年，吃年夜饭……

每年过春节的时候，我都非常开心。除夕晚上一家人围在一起吃年夜饭，其乐融融。吃完美味大餐，有时我看电视，有时我和家人做游戏，有时我上街看人放烟花……春节里的我也是免不了俗呢！

春节，是中国最盛大的节日，是我最喜欢的节日。

大年二十三，过小年，差不多在这时候，春节就开始了。大街上分外热闹，卖对联的，卖年糕的，卖干果的小贩们全都出来了，整个世界都变得喜气洋洋。马路两旁的路灯上都挂上了火红的灯笼，给这本来就喜气洋洋的世界又增添了一丝喜庆，一丝生机。家里，爸爸、妈妈、爷爷、奶奶和我齐上阵，一起打扫家里，让家变得干干净净、焕然一新。爸爸很勇敢，担任了擦玻璃的重任，他拿一块抹布，先在窗户里边擦，然后再爬到窗户外的防盗窗上，站在防盗窗上，擦外玻璃。我则担任递工具、扔垃圾等很轻松的活儿。就这样，不过两天，家里就会整整齐齐了。

七天转眼间就过去了，除夕在越来越热闹的气氛中来临了。这一天，我高高兴兴地起床，兴奋地穿上过年的新衣，然后和爸爸妈妈爷爷奶奶一起吃过春节的第一顿饺子，爷爷制作的肉馅香甜可口，奶奶擀的饺子皮儿又白又薄，再加上爸爸妈妈一流的包饺子技术，煮好的饺子，很好吃，我一次就能吃15个。中午，炸带鱼，炸茄夹、藕盒、豌豆荚……下午，我和爸爸一起贴对联，贴福字。晚上，爷爷就会烤猪蹄儿，烤出的猪蹄儿色香味俱全，一点儿也不腻，很美味。

晚上吃完饭，我们一家人坐在电视机前，一边看春晚，一边包饺子，为第二天早上的“饺子宴”做准备。春晚的一个个小品让我们哈哈大笑，一首首动听的歌曲让我们陶醉在其中，一个个舞蹈让我们着迷……晚上十二点的钟声敲响，鞭炮声四处响起，往窗外望，原本漆黑的夜晚被燃烧的鞭炮照得很明亮。我和爸爸也会来到楼下，放鞭炮，很有趣。

大年初一随着凌晨十二点的钟声来到了。早上起来，又是一顿美味的饺子，上午，爷爷奶奶出去串门，走亲访友，我则在家玩耍，什么小提琴、作业、书，全都被我抛在了一边。中午，一顿丰盛的午餐端上了桌，鱼、虾、肉、菜，应有尽有，让我大饱口福。下午，我和爸爸妈妈一起去表哥家串门，看姥姥。晚上，我们一家三口去散步，去放花炮。

接下来，大年初二，初三，初四……就到了正月十五——元宵节。

这一天，刚刚冷淡下来的气氛又热闹起来。无论走到哪，都能看到红红的灯笼。这天上午，我们一起去看社火表演，什么扭秧歌、舞龙、舞狮子……都演得很精彩。元宵节，家家户户自然都要吃元宵，所以超市里的元宵卖得很快。晚上，圆圆的元宵端上了桌，尝一口，黏黏的皮，甜甜的馅儿，真好吃。晚上，我们去看漂亮灯展，一盏盏美丽的花灯让我们看得眼花缭乱。

元宵节过去，到了正月十八的光景，过年的红火、喜庆与热闹慢慢地消失，大人们都要上班，小学生们也都开学了，一切又平静了下来。

我们的祖国有许多的传统节日，有中秋节、端午节、重阳节……但是我最喜欢春节，因为春节可以穿新衣服、吃好吃的，还可以得到压岁钱，男孩子还可以放鞭炮呢！

春节是我国人民最重视的节日。关于春节的来历是这样的：中国古时候有一种叫“年”的怪兽，头长触角，凶猛异常。“年”常年深居海底，每到除夕这天，才爬上岸，吞食牲畜，伤害人命。因此，每到除夕这天，村里的人们都要逃往深山，以躲避“年”兽的伤害。后来有一位老人，告诉大家。“年”兽最怕红色，火光和炸响。从此每年除夕，家家贴红对联，燃放爆竹，户户灯火通明，守更待岁。初一一大早，还要走亲串友道喜问好。这风俗越传越广，成了中国民间最隆重的传统节日。

在我们的家乡，人们在除夕前好几天，就开始准备过年了。人们会买鞭炮、买春联、准备年货、买新衣服，人们还要彻底打扫卫生。除夕之夜，我们还要吃饺子，每年包饺子的时候，妈妈会在一些饺子里包上硬币，谁吃到了有硬币的饺子，就代表着谁在新的一年里会交好运的。吃完饺子后，我们都会守在电视机前看《春节联欢晚会》。

到了春节那天，我很高兴，因为我可以穿新衣服，而且还可以收到很多压岁钱，另外我发现别人也都很精神，也很高兴，到处都充满了欢乐的笑声！

我喜欢春节！

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。

China has always had a splendid traditional culture, and there are Dragon Boat Festival, qingming festival, National Day... I like the Spring Festival best.

The streets are full of lanterns, people are busy buying couplets, the annual goods, the arrival of the Spring Festival

Every time Chinese New Year, we young children wear new clothes, wear new hats, the adults face a satisfied smile. Its been a great year for people to eat family reunion dinner. In the evening, the grown-ups are playing mahjong, playing poker, and eating melon seeds, chatting and talking. Children like to set off fireworks. The bold children go to the fire, the timid children look behind. Fireworks are colorful... Just play and play! Have fun!

It was a long time before I left my friends to go home. I thought to myself, "I wish I could spend the Spring Festival every day."

天津人称腊月初八为“腊八儿”，有喝腊八粥的习俗。许多天津人还在这天用醋泡大蒜，名“腊八醋”。腊月十五开始，各式各样的年货全都上市，以娘娘宫为轴心的宫南宫北大街更是热闹非凡。男孩子到娘娘宫头一个目标就是风葫芦，成年男人到这里，忘不了买灯笼，女人们来这里多是“洗娃娃”的。从娘娘宫拴回的“娃娃”每年都要“洗一回”，这是节前妇女必须做完的事情。

腊月二十三，是灶王爷升天的日子，家家要买糖瓜儿，等到夜里12点祭灶王爷。待香燃尽后，请下灶王像，点火烧了，大年三十再买新的灶王像，又叫“灶王码子”换上，年复一年，都是这样。天津还有春节贴吊钱儿的习俗，吊钱儿是用彩纸剪刻成的图案，贴在门窗的玻璃和横棱上，作为春节喜庆气氛的点缀。贴上的吊钱儿只能到正月初五那天损坏，否则就意味着一年不吉利。

天津人称正月初五为“破五”，这一天，家家户户吃饺子，菜板要剁得叮咚响，让四邻听见，以示正在剁“小人”。天津人把不顺心的事归结到“小人”的身上，除掉“小人”才能大吉大利，顺顺当当，初五晚上放鞭炮，也有避邪免灾的意味。

[天津春节前后的传统习俗作文素材

Children in costumes race from house to house asking for treats. A carved pumpkin, called a jack-o-lantern, grins from a porch as the children pass. According to legend, jack-o-lanterns protect people in their homes from ghostly spirits.

Its all part of the fun on Halloween! The roots of Halloween stretch back thousands of years and borrow customs from several parts of the world.

Halloween is a holiday celebrated on October 31. By tradition, Halloween begins after sunset. Long ago, people believed that witches gathered together and ghosts roamed the world on Halloween. Today, most people no longer believe in ghosts and witches. But these supernatural beings are still a part of Halloween.

The colors black and orange are also a part of Halloween. Black is a symbol for night and orange is the color of pumpkins. A jack-o-lantern is a hollowed-out pumpkin with a face carved on one side. Candles are usually placed inside, giving the face a spooky glow.

Dressing in masks and costumes is a popular Halloween activity. Costumes can be traditional and scary, such as a witchs pointy hat and black gown. Costumes may also have a modern flavor. Many children dress up as movie characters or a favorite superhero.

But Halloween is not just for children. Many adults enjoy showing off their costumes at Halloween parties!

Once in costume, children go from house to house saying Trick or treat! In the past, children might play a trick on people who did not give treats. They might pelt houses with eggs or old tomatoes, or play other pranks. Today, childrens cries of Trick or treat! are usually rewarded with candy.

One of the oldest Halloween traditions comes from the ancient Celts, who lived in western and central Europe long ago. The Celts celebrated a holiday

y called Sa amhain on October 31. After sunset that day, people believed that spirits of the dead would rise and walk the earth. The Celts made offerings of food and drink to keep the spirits away.

Beginning about 2,000 years ago, the Roman Empire conquered many Celtic peoples. But Celtic traditions, including Samhain, remained strong in areas such as Ireland and Scotland, even after the Roman conquest.

The Roman Catholic Church tried to replace Samhain in 835 with All Saints Day, a day to honor saints of the Church. The eve of All Saints Day is October 31. It is called Allhallows or Hallowmas by the Church.

Halloween first came to America with early settlers from Celtic areas in Europe, such as Ireland and Scotland. But other American settlers with strict religious beliefs, including the Puritans from England, rejected Halloween. The arrival of many Irish immigrants during the 1800s helped spread Halloweens popularity.

But by the late 1800s, fewer people believed in ancient superstitions of ghosts and witches. Halloween became more a holiday for children to receive treats and dress in costume.

“爆竹声中一岁除，春风送暖入屠苏”——在噼里啪啦的爆竹声中，在红红火火的喜庆的气氛中，春节来到我们身边。看，家家户户都张灯结彩，喜气洋洋的。春节真热闹啊！

清晨，不管男女老少都早早地起了床，穿上了新衣。小孩子们一大早就约上几个小伙伴们一起出去玩，脸上洋溢着节日的喜悦;大人们则上街去买各种各样的年货，准备着晚上的盛宴。

我的家乡在崇明，节前开车回家，一路彩旗飘飘，大红灯笼高高挂，栏杆上挂了长长的红布，写着节日的祝语，家家门上都挂着朱红的对联。

回到家后一家人便忙开了。妈妈一边贴对联，一边告诉我对联的寓意;奶奶在打扫卫生，我呢，则在贴着“福”字。我搬了张椅子正准备贴，爸爸连忙阻止我，说：“福字应该要倒贴，就是福到的意思。”爸爸又补充道：“春节贴福字有吉祥，喜庆的意思。”我听了心想：中国的春节真是有趣啊！

下午，大人们更忙，许多亲朋好友如约而至，大家有的招呼客人，有的准备团圆饭，所有大人都想包掉更多的活。我跟在大人们后面，好奇地观察这一切，我一会问这问那，一会儿碰这碰那。

我指着一块圆圆的上面镶嵌着红枣、蜜饯、核桃仁、桂花、瓜子仁的糕问奶奶：“为什么要吃糕啊？上面还添加了这么丰富的配料？”

“这是崇明糕，每年都要吃的。”奶奶说，“吃崇明糕意味着团团圆圆。”

一眨眼，就到了除夕夜，除夕夜真是热闹。厨房中弥漫着香味，桌上的菜更是数不胜数，琳琅满目，人们看了便谗涎欲滴。大家欢欢喜喜地坐在桌前，津津有味地品尝着丰富的年夜饭，我心情十分激动，站了起来，举起杯，大声地说：“祝爷爷奶奶健康长寿，吉祥如意，我们全家人团团圆圆，幸福美满！”说罢，一挥手，一扬头，杯中的饮料便落入肚中。

餐桌上有说有笑的，充满了过年的气氛，屋外烟花在空中绚丽的绽放，红彤彤的，又大又圆的灯笼红火而美丽，整个地区像是办喜事。小孩子在外面放鞭炮，烟花别提有多美了。

家乡的春节与众不同，春节那特有的热闹、气息将永远印在我的心中，爱那特有的味道。

20XX年XX月XX日 星期X 天气XX

今天是除夕节，也就是大年三十，也就是“过年”了!

听说过年有一个传说：古时候有种叫“年”的怪兽，样子很古怪，头上长尖角，凶猛异常。每到除夕节村里的人们扶老牵小的赶上山躲避“年”。有一次，一位老人要在村里住下，人们都往山上跑，他们劝老人也到山上去避难，老人坚持不肯。怪兽来了，老人噼雳啪啦的放着鞭炮，“年”不敢往前走。这时老人，打开门，穿着红衣服，“年”一下子就吓跑了。第二天，人门回到村里，那里安然无恙，人们见到老人赶跑“年”的三件法宝。此时人们每到除夕贴上对联，挂上灯笼，放着鞭炮。

今晚，我们吃过团圆饭后，就到楼上去放鞭炮，放烟花，放礼炮……有一种像“老鼠”的，你一点燃，它就嗖地一下跑到不见了。“花开雷鸣”像一个喷泉冲到天上非常漂亮，有红。黄。绿……各颜各态，非常美丽。“花蝴蝶”吱的一声飞向了天空，在上面转了几个圈，才慢慢的消失在茫茫的夜色中。我们放了许多鞭炮。礼炮……。但我从来没有见过“年”或许“年”不敢来，我想人们为来年的丰收许下的心愿。

除夕节过的真快乐呀!明年要是还这么快乐多好啊!
