人们迎接春天，最早是在冬至。远古时期的人们根据日晷，将黑夜最长，白天最短的冬至当作一岁的分界线。甲骨文中有“出入日，岁三牛”的记载。意即在进入冬至和离开冬至的临界之点，要杀三头牛作为祭祀。湘西苗族的“椎牛祭”还保留着这一远古的仪式。甲骨文中的“岁”字，右边是一个牛头，左边是矛，上、下即标记着牛的心脏部位。那时的人们认为，牛是有神性的动物，而神性依托在血液里。在“出入日”即冬至的临界点，就要慢慢地椎牛，让具有神性的血慢慢地流入大地，这样，这一年粮食就能获得丰收。

冬至临界点的椎牛，即最早的“守岁”。商代之后，随着农业生产的发展，开始有了四季划分，“岁”变成了“年”。过年最早定在立春这天。由于农历每年都变化，立春不一定在正月，为了方便起见，后来逐渐将过年定在除夕到大年初一这一天。如今除夕夜春节联欢晚会上的零点敲钟，跨过零点才能睡觉，就是古老“守岁”仪式的延续。

The first day of the Chinese New Year, we all got up early. We said “Happy New Year!” or “Good luck this year!” to each other and get money from them. We visited our relatives all day. That made me feel very tired but very happy because I also can get money.

The second day of the New Year, I slept during the morning. In the afternoon, I went to the beautiful countryside, and visited the Yi River, it is very wide, about 1 kilometer.

Next day, we left my grandparents’ home for Qingdao. The expressway had been frozen. It was terrible! So we could only run by at a slow speed.

On the first day of the New Year, everyone was visiting relatives and friends. Children to play.

Until the Lantern Festival began on the 15th day of the first lunar month, the Spring Festival was another climax. On the fifteenth day of the first month, there was a custom in my hometown: carrying the deities on the street, and swimming the whole village three times. Every family came to the door to worship god, and every one of the household was stopped and waited until the house was finished. On this day, you must also eat dumplings. Represents the circle round. It;s really a happy day.

This is what my hometown must do in the Spring Festival! New Year;s day good!

The Lunar New Year occasion to the Chinese people. It lasts about the first

four days of the year, during which people do not work except for the workers on

duty. Students do not go to school, and shops are closed.

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; couplets are 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 fireworks to welcome 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.

In the Spring Festival, people will be most happy and happy appearance face their own life.

Lights before the Spring Festival, every family, every family dressed house having a unique style, each have each personality. They put to buy necessities to all over the floor. Bought New Year paintings how stick method, then each have their own style and preferences. Some dish, some backwards, and the crooked stick, each has his strong point.

The Spring Festival happy day always short, let a person feel hard to forget. But also is to let a person feel loathe to give up.

Outback winter old words, Rui rabbit send auspicious spring. In XX, the CCTV Spring Festival Gala was in the eyes of hundreds of millions of Chinese children. As a traditional Chinese festival, the Spring Festival is the convergence and release of the spirit of the times and the national sentiment in a year. The 1000 word composition is "how do we celebrate the Spring Festival 1000 words". The Spring Festival is the theme of "full of joy, innovation and good life; song and laughter, sharing happiness", this theme can fully and vividly show the XX Spring Festival theme atmosphere and good hope. Therefore, whether old or new, the "good life" and "happiness" is an annual feature and common emotional memory. So we define "happiness" and "beauty" as the core words of the theme of the Spring Festival Gala. "The good life" with "innovation", embodies the "theme of building an innovative nation"; "happiness" as "sharing", is a National Peoples wish to share the reform and development to create a happy life in XX years, two is the wishes of the people sharing family reunion bring happiness in the new years eve.

The opening stage is almost the same as before. All the stars came out, showing their beautiful singing and graceful dancing. I didnt agree with them. The next move I was most touched.

The Xidan girl (Ren Yueli), with her own efforts and courage, went to her dream Spring Festival Gala. Some time ago, I saw a girl in Xidan "I want to show" outstanding performance in the program on TV, she revealed to the expression and discourse deeply touched every one of the judges present, finally ushered in the moment she realized her pride, desire has always been, I am happy for her I cheer for her. It can not be separated from her self-confidence, hard work and persistence, what a common girl! We are going to learn from my sister in Xidan!

To be true, I dont appreciate Jay Chous singing, because I cant hear the lyrics in his mouth. In this special stage, Jay Chou changed his style changed from a magic program will show about his violin skills. I still have to top him, after all, hes still the first Spring Festival evening. And the music of this part of the magic show is Jay Chous song "the preface of Lanting Pavilion". Compared to "Jay Chou magic", the female assistant of the magic is more concerned. This is the "Taiwan first beauty" Lin Chiling who is playing the magic with Jay Chou. In addition to performing magic, Lin Chiling will also sing a short Lanting Pavilion preface with Jay Chou, giving people a refreshing feeling.

When the "good times" the short time, I saw the familiar Mao and aftertaste. They have played the couple on TV, and we should be familiar with them. The short plot was: Mao to buy a lottery ticket for his good friend snow, unexpectedly in the five million grand prix, two couples in the temptation of money, almost move the heart, reserved, but they can not stand on their conscience, and ultimately chose the friendship between friends. This piece was rewritten on the basis of the personal experience of a lottery owner, and one of his words, who was the one who was, was admirable. Yes, how many people can do this in real life?

This years Spring Festival Gala is different from previous years. There are many ordinary migrant workers who have the chance to show their demeanor on the stage. Ordinary people can also go to Spring Festival Gala. What a wonderful thing it is!

Happy time is always short, when the ear back to the familiar "unforgettable tonight", I have to know to say goodbye to this years Spring Festival, although reluctant to part, although Lianlianbuwang, but such a festive feel forever in my heart, the Spring Festival evening to touch my heart will accompany me through this rabbit years until I meet again next year and she!

严冬傲虎辞旧岁，新春瑞兔送吉祥。xx年中央电视台春节联欢晚会在亿万中华儿女的瞩目中，如期拉开序幕。作为中华民族传统节日的春节，是一年中时代精神和民族情感的聚合和释放，1000字作文《我们怎样过春节作文1000字》。本届春晚的主题是“欢天喜地，创新美好生活；欢歌笑语，共享阖家幸福”，这样的主题可以充分而形象地展现xx年春晚的主题氛围和美好期冀。因此，无论是辞旧还是迎新，“美好生活”和“阖家幸福”是共同的年度特征和情感记忆。所以我们把“幸福”和“美好”确定为本届春晚主题词的核心字眼。为“美好生活”冠以“创新”，体现“建立创新型国家”的时代主题；为“阖家幸福”冠以“共享”，一是祝愿全国人民在xx年共享改革发展开创的幸福生活，二是祝愿全国人民在除夕之夜共享阖家团圆带来的幸福时刻。

开场和以往差不多，出来的都是大牌明星，展示着他们动听的歌声和优美的舞姿，我不以为然，接下来出场的最让我感动——

西单女孩（任月丽），她通过自己的努力加上勇气，登上了梦寐以求的春晚。前段时间，我在电视上看见西单女孩在《我要上春晚》节目中的突出表现，她所流露出来的神情和话语深深地打动了在场的每一位评委，终于迎来了她这一刻的自豪，实现了她一直以来的愿望，我为她兴奋，我为她喝彩。这都离不开她的自信、努力和坚持，多么普通的一位女孩子啊！我们要向西单姐姐学习！

说真的，我并不欣赏周杰伦的唱腔，因为总是听不清他嘴巴里唱的歌词。在这个特别的舞台上，周杰伦改变了他的风格，变起了魔术，节目中间会“秀”一下自己的胡琴技艺。我还是要顶他一下，毕竟他还是头一回上春晚呢！而这一段魔术表演的背景音乐，就是周杰伦的歌曲《兰亭序》。与“周杰伦变魔术”相比，魔术的女助手更加受人关注。此次与周杰伦搭档变魔术的正是“台湾第一美女”林志玲，除了表演魔术，林志玲还会和周杰伦合唱一小段的《兰亭序》，让人有一种耳目一新的感觉！

当《美好时代》这段小品出场时，我看到了眼熟的毛豆豆和余味。他俩演过电视里的夫妻档，我们应该很熟悉他俩吧！这段小品的情节是：毛豆豆给自己的好朋友白雪买了一注彩票，没想到竟然中了五百万大奖，两夫妇在金钱的诱惑下，差点动了心，想占己为有，但是他们受不了良心上的谴责，最终还是选择了朋友之间的友情。这段小品是根据一位卖彩票的老板的亲身经历而改写的，他的一句话——该是谁的就是谁的让我钦佩不已。是啊，在现实生活中，有多少人能做到这一点呢？

今年的春晚与往年唯一不同的是有许多普通的农民工能够有机会在舞台上展示着自己的风采，咱们普通老百姓也能上春晚啦！这是一件多么美好的事情呀！

美好的时间总是短暂的，当耳边回想起那熟悉的《难忘今宵》时，我知道又要不得不跟今年的春晚说再见了，尽管依依不舍，尽管恋恋不忘，但是这种喜庆的感觉永远留在我的心间，春晚带给我内心的触动会伴随我走过这个兔年直到我明年和她再度相逢！

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 programs.

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

The streets are: firecrackers, the drums and gongs of. The most fun but also a few dance the dragon, the first one uncle Wu Zhao a "dragon pearl", the other uncle, Wu Zhao 2 "Dragon", each a "dragon" are trying to "Dragon Ball" became his treasured.

Very happy today!

今天是大年初一，外面张灯结彩、普天同庆，热闹极了！

大街上有：放鞭炮的、敲锣打鼓的。最好玩的还要数舞龙灯，第一个叔叔舞着一颗“龙珠”，其他的叔叔舞着两条“龙”，每一条“龙”都想把“龙珠”变成自己的宝贝。

今天开心极了！

虎年的春节，是一个非常有意义的节日，我们大家都很喜欢这个节日的来临。如：我们是小孩子嘛，喜欢在春节的时候放松一下，还喜欢穿着新衣服去别人家作客。那么大人们呢，当然也喜欢过这个有意义的春节了，因为大人们都忙碌了一年，辛苦了一年，所以趁过年了，可以在家里打打牌轻松一下，这是多么难得的机会啊！

除夕的晚上，我们一家人在爷爷家吃团圆饭，在餐桌上，有我最喜欢吃的糖醋排骨和八宝菜，晚饭吃完以后，我们一家人坐在电视机前看春节联欢晚会，可热闹了！在春节联欢晚会上，我看见了不可思议的魔法师刘谦在为观众们表演节目，还有很多精彩的表演，我们看到了精彩的表演以后，脸上露出了喜悦的笑容。

到了春节的第一天，我们就穿着新的衣服，去给爷爷拜年，拜好以后我们就一起去了坟山，给奶奶拜一个早年，让奶奶保佑我们身体健康。弄好以后，我们就准备回家了。到家以后，我们闲着没事干，就让爸爸给我们搭雪桥，爸爸搭了半个钟头就把雪桥搭好了，我是第一个试验品，踩上去以后，一踩就塌了，把我摔了一个大跟头。围观的人就哈哈大笑。如果是他们摔跤的话，我一定会比他们笑得声音更大。

初二的早晨，我就把烧好的稀饭端过去给爷爷吃，爷爷吃了我烧的稀饭以后，笑得乐陶陶，连嘴都闭不起来了，接着我就把爷爷吃过的饭碗洗干净。后来爷爷家里作客的人越来越多，爷爷家里一下子从冷清变成了热闹，我就扶着爷爷去里面看戏剧。并且还和爷爷开起玩笑来了……

从初二到初四，爷爷的家里就一直是热闹的，到了晚上的时候。我就会和姐姐们一起去小店里买烟火，买好以后就拿到爷爷家门口去放，噼里啪啦，噼里啪啦，可高兴了，可是大人们听得烦死啦，好像耳朵会聋一样，被大人们训斥了一顿以后，我们就垂头丧气，感觉在春节里连烟花都放不来的话，那么这个春节还有什么意义啊！接着，沈洁姐姐提出了一个建议，说：“要不我们去柯桥玩吧？”我们几个连声答应，好啊！好啊！说到了去玩，我们几个都是很乐意的……我想，我不用说你们也应该知道柯桥是一个多姿多彩的地方吧。

春节，是一个令人开心的日子，我想，如果时间可以倒流，再回到过春节的那段时间，那该有多好啊！

Spring Festival is the most important holiday for Chinese people. Excitement and happiness are palpable this time of the year， and they reach the peak on lunar new year‘s eve.

Though the 15-day period， which starts with the first day of the lunar new year and ends on the 15th day (known as Lantern Festival)， is relatively long， it is the busiest time of the year for Chinese people. The arrangements they have to make for family reunions， buying necessities and preparing food keeps them busy throughout the holiday. Many of them travel back home and meet friends over dinner and drinks. The celebrations include decorating the house and setting off fireworks.

But we are talking about a tradition that seems to be fading.Spring Festival， as it is celebrated today， has undergone many changes， thanks to the country‘s economic development and globalization.

Yet no Spring Festival is complete without food. People could not get good food whenever they desired in earlier times， something that does not apply to society today. More often than not， people faced the risk of famine. The best time for people to celebrate was when food was available in plenty， and that was possible in spring， or the beginning of the lunar new year. That was the main reason why Spring Festival acquired such great importance among Chinese people.

But three decades of economic growth has ensured that people in China， except for those who are still poor， can enjoy a good meal whenever they want. Such has been the change in people‘s fortune that some have to be treated for obesity and other health problems associated with excessive eating.

In the past， celebrations were limited to events like song-and-dance duets in North China， dragon/lion dances in South China and fireworks， which required the joint efforts of the entire community. But economic development and urbanization seems to have weakened the social links among people. Many， especially those living in cities， are not interested in celebrating the festival with people they hardly know.

Many customs associated with Spring Festival have changed， too. In the past， people used to visit relatives and friends with gifts and lots of good wishes. Today， many people， especially the youth， use their cell phones or the Internet to send their good wishes and even "gifts" to their relatives and friends. Some may say this a sign that people have become less caring about their near and dear ones， but we should see this development as a time- and energy-saving exercise granted by the information age.

In recent times， many people have started praying for a career promotion or more money instead of invoking God or the Buddha for a healthy and long life and the welfare of their family. But the number of such people is decreasing now， which shows that people are becoming more reasonable.

Chinese New Year，is the most important festival for all of us. All family members get together on New YearEve to have a big meal.At the same time， everyone celebrates to each other.At about 12 oclock，some parents and children light crackers.The whole sky is lighted brightly. We may watch the fireworks excitedly.How busy it is！

On the first early moring of one year， many senior citizen get up early and they stick the reversed Fu or hang some couplets on the front door. Some houses windows are sticked on red paper cutlings.

The Chinese New Year lasts fifteen days. So during the fifteen days， we always visit our relatives from door to door. At that time， children are the happiest because they can get many red packets form their parents，grandparents， uncles， aunts and so on. The last day of the Chinese New Year is another festival. It names the Lantern Festival.

So the Chinese New Year comes to the end.

New Year Party

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（响亮的） crow of a cock echoing in the hall，the hall was again brightly lit in a snap.

Then，the representative of the bedroom Zhu Guozhang asked us to guess a line of a poem related to the above situation. He added that Li Xinmin alone was born in the year of the dog and the other three were all born in the year of the chicken. They left us all in confusion. And it was our monitor who was quickwitted（机智的）. He shouted our， "The day breaks as the cock crows three times at dawn." The hall After that，they had another item. This time Li Xinmin was placed in the middle of the circle. While he was standing there，the other three stood around him，each bowing down to him at an angle of 120 degrees. It was an idiom. This time I got it right："The dog stands out among a group of chickens."

春节是中国民间最隆重的传统节日。在夏历正月初一，又叫阴历年，俗称“过年”、“新年”。春节的历史很悠久，它来历于殷商时期年头岁尾的祭神祭祖活动。按照我国农历，正月 初一古称元日、元辰、元正、元朔、元旦等，俗称年初一，到民国时期，改用公历，公历的一月一日称为元旦，把农历的一月一日叫春节。

Lunar New Year , the most solemn of traditional Chinese folk festivals. First day of the first lunar month in the traditional Chinese lunar calendar, known as the Moon, commonly known as "New Year" and "New Year."
