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.

The Spring Festival in the year of the tiger is a very meaningful festival, and we all like the coming of the festival. Such as: we are children, like to relax in the Spring Festival, and also like to wear new clothes to go to other peoples home. So the adults, of course, also like this meaningful Spring Festival.

At the Spring Festival Gala, I saw the incredible wizard Louis Liu performing many shows for the audience, and many wonderful performances. After we saw the wonderful performance, there was a happy smile on the face.

To the first day of the Spring Festival, we wear new clothes, go to Grandpa worship after we pay New Years call, went to the cemetery, to worship the one who let Grandma, grandma bless our health. After that, we are ready to go home. When we got home, we had nothing to do. We asked Dad to give us a snow bridge. Dad took a half an hour to set up the snow bridge. I was the first test product. After stepping on it, a step collapsed, and he fell me into a big fall. The onlookers laughed. If they wrestled, I would have laughed more loudly than they were.

The first two days of the morning, I put the cooked Rice porridge to grandpa to eat after the end of the past, grandfather ate my burning smile letaotao, Rice porridge, even the mouth closed up, then Ill eat the bowl clean grandpa. Later, there were more and more people in my grandfathers house, and my grandfathers home became a bustle from the cold. I helped grandpa to see the drama inside. And I had a joke with Grandpa...

From the second day to the fourth day, Grandpas home has been busy in the evening. I will and sisters go to the shop and buy fireworks, bought after the door to get Grandpa, crackling, crackling, happy, but adults are sick to death, like the ears will be deaf, people being scolded, we will dismay, feeling in the Spring Festival even the fireworks are not put to it, so whats the meaning of the Spring Festival! Then, sister Jie Shen made a suggestion, saying, "why dont we go to Keqiao?" We repeatedly promised, good ah! Good！ When it comes to playing, were all happy... I dont need to say that you should also know that Keqiao is a colorful place.

Spring Festival is a happy day, I think, if time can be reversed, and then back to the time of the Spring Festival, how good it should be!

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！

Chinese festivals are rich and colorful, there are Qingming Festival, Mid Autumn Festival and so on. In this, I like the Spring Festival most, do you know the origin of the Spring Festival?

Let me tell you about the origin of the Spring Festival.

Long long ago, there is an animal called the "year", every the 30th day of the twelfth month of the Chinese lunar calendar, it will come out of the deadly, terrible. One year, a white - haired grandfather came to the village, and he said, "I can drive away that holy thing." But the villagers did not believe what he said. On this day, as usual, the villagers ran into the mountains to hide the "year" beasts, and the old man insisted on staying. The old man put firecrackers in the backyard in the night, "year" beast to the general turmoil was terrible! When the grandfather of the house all the candles lit, "year" was stopped, and then, grandpa took out firecrackers "Pa, PA, Pa", "year" fright, Grandpa laughed in red, "" that is a fire in the laugh, scared Tirzah legs ran, the old grandpa is a fairy, he left the magic three "years" to the villagers. From then on, we will put up red couplets, firecrackers and dumplings every time in the new year.

If you ask me why I like the Spring Festival, I will tell you, because the Spring Festival is very busy, there are a lot of lanterns, it is good for the new year.

Hang up red lanterns, happy song sings, with the crackling sound of firecrackers, the Spring Festival party. Below, lets go to a small case of the waste of the Spring Festival. Let SGO!

The Spring Festival: a waste of reciprocity

The Spring Festival is a traditional festival in our country. It is a happy day for family reunion. Most people visit relatives and give gifts to each other. Trinidad send goose, courtesy light weight friendship." It has already been regarded as a custom for many people to send gifts for the Spring Festival. Among the people I am investigating, most people actually spend a lot of money to buy gifts. In fact, we dont have to spend lots of money to buy so many gifts, in fact, as long as the greetings, relatives and friends also met the joys of.

The waste phenomenon of the Spring Festival two: travel out

In the new year, many people like to take their family together to travel, and the cost is quite high, with the convenience of a few million yuan. Some of them go abroad, some go to pray, go to...... The highway is the "car mountain car sea", in common words, one word - blocking! Take the Buddha, the Buddha is straight up the number of 2016. So, I ask you: is it necessary? After the Spring Festival, the best thing is to accompany their parents and children to go shopping street and accompany them. It is not necessary to go to such a distant place.

The waste of the Spring Festival three: set off firecrackers

Crackling crackling......" When it comes to the Spring Festival, firecrackers can be said to be an essential activity for people. But its a waste, too. The smell of smoke produced after the firecrackers will affect peoples health, and the explosion of firecrackers will frighten children and the elderly. The ear injury is beyond doubt -- tinnitus, hearing loss and so on. It will also pollute the environment and cause fires. Also, some people spend lots of money to buy many firecrackers, most will listen to the sound, see the beauty of it, is not how happy, we can choose the new year a more interesting way, do not have to put the choice of firecrackers to celebrate the new year, if it is to set off firecrackers, must go to the specified place a small amount of fireworks.

The waste of the Spring Festival is four:...

Everyone singing and laughing, the scene is beautiful now singing, now dancing! Let us reduce the waste of the Spring Festival, happy happy year, red and red fire in an auspicious year!

春节，即农历新年，俗称过大年，一般指除夕和正月初一。以下是小编整理的过春节的意义英语作文，欢迎阅读参考！

过春节的意义英语作文：

Every year, when the Spring Festival comes, which is the biggest festival in China, Chinese people from all over the world will come back to their hometown and spend the day together. For me, as I grow up, I am not that excited about spring festival as I was a kid did. But it is true that this day let people stay together no matter how busy and how far they are. I barely have chances to see my relatives, but in Spring Festival, we will have dinner and talk the whole night. It is such a great moment for us to cherish. The meaning of Spring Festival is important for everyone.

在每年，中国最大的节日春节到来的时候，来自世界各地的华人都会回到家乡，一起度过这一天。对我来说，长大之后我对春节就不像小时候那样兴奋了。但是春节确实会让大家都聚在一起，不管有多忙，多远。我很少有机会见得到我的亲戚，但我们会在春节一起吃晚饭，聊天聊上一整晚。这是一个值得我们珍惜的伟大时刻。春节的意义对每个人来说都是重要的。

春节的英语资料：

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.

我们知道春节对于中国人来说是最重要的节日。在每年的春节都让人兴高采烈，尤其是大年三十那晚，更是达到了高潮。

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.

其中春节历时15天，也就从大年初一开始，到元月十五元宵节结束。这段比较长的时间是中国人最忙的时候。他们为家庭聚会作安排，采购年货，准备丰盛的食物，以至于整个春节假期都忙忙碌碌的。许多人在春季期间都要回老家过年，跟朋友碰碰头，聚个餐。庆祝春节也包括大扫除和放烟火。

But we are talking about a tradition that seems to be fading.

现在我们现在要谈的是越来越淡的年味。

Spring Festival， as it is celebrated today， has undergone many changes， thanks to the country‘s economic development and globalization.

现在的春节已经因为我国经济的发展和全球化的影响而改变了很多。

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.

但是没有哪个春节是完全离得开“吃”的。从前，不论人们提前多久想要买年货，总是不能如愿，而现在早已今非昔比。过去常常还要闹饥荒。人们最好的庆祝时间就是他们能得到食物丰盛的时候，也就是春天或是元月初的那段时间。那也是为什么春节对于中国人如此重要的主要原因。

Immersed in a happy festival atmosphere all over the world, we finally ushered in the long-awaited Spring Festival, children put on new clothes shoes went to the reunion dinner with mom and dad, to the sound of firecrackers sounded.

Shopping came in an endless stream, some are buying New Year pictures, some are buying necessities and some sit around the stove fire box to watch TV, there are people playing mahjong playing poker, and so on.

Anyway, the street colourful, all kinds of people, a full range of variety of goods, full of beautiful things in eyes, Im afraid people want to buy what all difficult to choose!

在全世界都沉浸在快乐的过节气氛中，我们终于迎来了期待已久的春节，小朋友都穿上新衣新鞋和爸爸妈妈去吃团圆饭了，开始有鞭炮的声音响起来。

逛街的人络绎不绝，有的在买年画，有的在买年货，有的坐着火箱围着火炉看电视，还有的人在打麻将打扑克，等等不一而足。

反正街上五彩缤纷，各种各样的人都有，各种各样的货物都齐全，琳琅满目，人们恐怕想买什么都难选择!

春节习俗英语作文- 用英语介绍春节习俗：

Chinese New Year or Spring Festival is the most important of the traditional Chinese holidays. It is sometimes called the "Lunar New Year" by English speakers. The festival traditionally begins on the first day of the first month (Chinese: 正月; pinyin: zhēng yuè) in the Chinese calendar and ends on the 15th; this day is called Lantern Festival. Chinese New Years Eve is known as chú xī. It literally means "Year-pass Eve".

Chinese New Year is the longest and most important festivity in the Lunar Calendar. The origin of Chinese New Year is itself centuries old and gains significance because of several myths and traditions. Ancient Chinese New Year is a reflection on how the people behaved and what they believed in the most.

Celebrated in areas with large populations of ethnic Chinese, Chinese New Year is considered a major holiday for the Chinese and has had influence on the new year celebrations of its geographic neighbors, as well as cultures with whom the Chinese have had extensive interaction. These include Koreans (Seollal), Tibetans and Bhutanese (Losar), Mongolians (Tsagaan Sar), Vietnamese (T?t), and formerly the Japanese before 1873 (Oshogatsu). Outside of Mainland China, Hong Kong, Macau, and Taiwan, Chinese New Year is also celebrated in countries with significant Han Chinese populations, such as Singapore, Indonesia, Laos, Malaysia, the Philippines, and Thailand. In countries such as Australia, Canada and the United States, although Chinese New Year is not an official holiday, many ethnic Chinese hold large celebrations and Australia Post, Canada Post, and the US Postal Service issues New Years themed stamps.

Within China, regional customs and traditions concerning the celebration of the Chinese new year vary widely. People will pour out their money to buy presents, decoration, material, food, and clothing. It is also the tradition that every family thoroughly cleans the house to sweep away any ill-fortune in hopes to make way for good incoming luck. Windows and doors will be decorated with red colour paper-cuts and couplets with popular themes of “happiness”, “wealth”, and “longevity”. On the Eve of Chinese New Year, supper is a feast with families. Food will include such items as pigs, ducks, chicken and sweet delicacies. The family will end the night with firecrackers. Early the next morning, children will greet their parents by wishing them a healthy and happy new year, and receive money in red paper envelopes. The Chinese New Year tradition is a great way to reconcile forgetting all grudges, and sincerely wish peace and happiness for everyone.

Although the Chinese calendar traditionally does not use continuously numbered years, outside China its years are often numbered from the reign of Huangdi. But at least three different years numbered 1 are now used by various scholars, making the year 2009 "Chinese Year" 4707, 4706, or 4646.

On the days before the New Year celebration Chinese families give their home a thorough cleaning. There is a Cantonese saying "Wash away the dirt on ninyabaat" (年廿八，洗邋遢), but the practice is not usually restricted on ninyabaat (年廿八, the 28th day of month 12). It is believed the cleaning sweeps away the bad luck of the preceding year and makes their homes ready for good luck. Brooms and dust pans are put away on the first day so that luck cannot be swept away. Some people give their homes, doors and window-frames a new coat of red paint. homes are often decorated with paper cutouts of Chinese auspicious phrases and couplets. Purchasing new clothing, shoes, and receiving a hair-cut also symbolize a fresh start.

In many households where Buddhism or Taoism is prevalent, home altars and statues are cleaned thoroughly, and altars that were adorned with decorations from the previous year are also taken down and burned a week before the new year starts, and replaced with new decorations. Taoists (and Buddhists to a lesser extent) will also "send gods" (送神), an example would be burning a paper effigy of Zao Jun the Kitchen God, the recorder of family functions. This is done so that the Kitchen God can report to the Jade Emperor of the family households transgressions and good deeds. Families often offer sweet foods (such as candy) in order to "bribe" the deities into reporting good things about the family.

The biggest event of any Chinese New Years Eve is the dinner every family will have. A dish consisting of fish will appear on the tables of Chinese families. It is for display for the New Years Eve dinner. This meal is comparable to Christmas dinner in the West. In northern China, it is customary to make dumplings (jiaozi 饺子) after dinner and have it around midnight. Dumplings symbolize wealth because their shape is like a Chinese tael. By contrast, in the South, it is customary to make a new year cake (Niangao, 年糕) after dinner and send pieces of it as gifts to relatives and friends in the coming days of the new year. Niangao literally means increasingly prosperous year in year out.
