篇1:介绍重阳节的来历

全文共 238 字

+ 加入清单

重阳节是汉民族的传统节日。中国古代以“六”为阴数,“九”为阳数,九月初九正好两个阳数相重,所以人们把它叫做“重阳”,也叫“重九”,又因为“九九”与“久久”谐音,所以人们认为这天是个特别值得庆贺的日子。

《中华人民共和国宪法》规定:中青年必须履行孝敬老年人,爱护老年人,赡养老年人的义务。因为“九九”与“久久”是“但愿人长久”的谐音,所以规定农历九月初九日重阳节为“敬老日”。这给重阳节赋予了新的内容。

重阳节的习俗有登高、赏菊、喝菊花酒、插茱萸、吃年糕等,这些习俗一直流传到现在。

元宵节来历中国的传统文化,光辉灿烂,有绘画、剪纸、民间工艺、民间艺术,但我最喜欢的是元宵节放烟火的传说。

传说在很久以前,有一只神鸟困为迷路而降落人间,却意外的被不知情的猎人给射死了。天帝知道后十分震怒,就下令让天兵于正月十五日到人间放火,把人类通通烧死。天帝的女儿心地善良,不忍心看百姓无辜受难,就冒着生命的危险,把这个消息告诉了人们。

众人听说了这个消息,犹如头上响了一个焦雷。吓得不知如何是好。过了好久好久,才有个老人家想出个法子,他说:“在正月十四、十五、十六日这三天,每户人家都在家里挂起红灯笼、点爆竹、放烟火。这样一来,天帝就会以为人们都被烧死了”。大家听了都点头称是,便分头准备去了。到了正月十五这天晚上,天兵往下一看,发觉人间一片红光,以为是大火燃烧的火焰,就禀告天帝不用下凡放火了。人们就这样保住了生命及财产。为了纪念这次的成功,从此每到正月十五,家家户户都悬挂灯笼,放烟火来纪念这个日子。

传统节日的传说,是我国传统文化的精髓。我们要让更多的人去了解它,让它发扬光大。

篇4:介绍故宫的英文

全文共 3229 字

+ 加入清单

Lying at the center of Beijing, the Forbidden City, called Gu Gong, in Chinese, was the imperial palace during the Ming and Qing dynasties. Now known as the Palace Museum, it is to the north of Tiananmen Square. Rectangular in shape, it is the world‘s largest palace complex and covers 74 hectares. Surrounded by a six meter deep moat and a ten meter high wall are 9,999 buildings. The wall has a gate on each side. Opposite the Tiananmen Gate, to the north is the Gate of Devine Might (Shenwumen), which faces Jingshan Park. The distance between these two gates is 960 meters, while the distance between the gates in the east and west walls is 750 meters. There are unique and delicately structured towers on each of the four corners of the curtain wall. These afford views over both the palace and the city outside. The Forbidden City is divided into two parts. The southern section, or the Outer Court was where the emperor exercised his supreme power over the nation. The northern section, or the Inner Court was where he lived with his royal family. Until 1924 when the last emperor of China was driven from the Inner Court, fourteen emperors of the Ming dynasty and ten emperors of the Qing dynasty had reigned here. Having been the imperial palace for some five centuries, it houses numerous rare treasures and curiosities. Listed by UNESCO as a World Cultural Heritage Site in 1987, the Palace Museum is now one of the most popular tourist attractions world wide.

Construction of the palace complex began in 1407, the 5th year of the Yongle reign of the third emperor of the Ming dynasty. It was completed fourteen years later in 1420. It was said that a million workers including one hundred thousand artisans were driven into the long-term hard labor. Stone needed was quarried from Fangshan, a suburb of Beijing. It was said a well was dug every fifty meters along the road in order to pour water onto the road in winter to slide huge stones on ice into the city. Huge amounts of timber and other materials were freighted from faraway provinces. Ancient Chinese people displayed their very considerable skills in building the Forbidden City. Take the grand red city wall for example. It has an 8.6 meters wide base reducing to 6.66 meters wide at the top. The angular shape of the wall totally frustrates attempts to climb it. The bricks were made from white lime and glutinous rice while the cement is made from glutinous rice and egg whites. These incredible materials make the wall extraordinarily strong.

Since yellow is the symbol of the royal family, it is the dominant color in the Forbidden City. Roofs are built with yellow glazed tiles; decorations in the palace are painted yellow; even the bricks on the ground are made yellow by a special process. However, there is one exception. Wenyuange, the royal library, has a black roof. The reason is that it was believed black represented water then and could extinguish fire.

Nowadays, the Forbidden City, or the Palace Museum is open to tourists from home and abroad. Splendid painted decoration on these royal architectural wonders, the grand and deluxe halls, with their surprisingly magnificent treasures will certainly satisfy "modern civilians".

今年2月28日是正月十五元宵节,元宵节各地的过法都差不多,都有吃元宵、舞狮子、观花灯等习俗。其中,吃元宵是一种独特的小吃,吃起来香甜甜香的,令人齿颊留香。那么,你们知道元宵节为什么要吃元宵吗,让我来讲给你听吧!

元宵起源于春秋时期的楚昭王,是楚昭王回国途中乘船在长江时,看见江面上漂着几个浮物,颜色是白的还有一点儿黄,船工捞起来献给了楚昭王。昭王在吃的时候发现里面有红如胭脂的瓤,味道鲜美。回国后,昭王命令人以山楂为瓤,仿制给臣民食用,以庆祝家国团圆。这一天,正好是正月十五,后代相沿成习。

如今,过元宵节的时候,北方人称其为元宵,在南方确称“汤圆。这些与“团圆“音近,取团圆之意,又逢十五月圆之夜,象征着全家人团团圆圆,和睦幸福,人们也用此来思念离别的新人。

An Unforgettable Experience

As a lyric goes:“ You’ll be old if you don’t pursue something you like insanely.” I didn’t pay much heed on it the first time I saw this lyric. But you’ll never realize the profound meaning until you put it into practice.

Not long ago, I did a crazy , at least as far as I can see, thing. Well, you can guess it. I went to see a vocal concert of my favorite super star---Yan Yalun, who comes from Taiwan province. Although it happened two months ago, the stirring scene still excited me a lot every time I recollected it.

On January 9, 2013, Yalun held a concert at the centre of Kaide Square in Wuhan. I arrived there alone at about 11:20am. Cause the concert would begin at 5:00pm, I had to wait for nearly six hours. But it seemed that every fan who had arrived there gave a cold shoulder to the waiting time, the half of the square had already been occupied by Yalun’s fans. They were taking pictures of the advertisements about Yalun’s concert, buying album and making new friends with each other. About one century passed by, it was the wonder time next. With the thunderous applause breaking out, Yan Yalun presented at the stage. I burst into tears instantly I saw him. Then it was the official procession. He described what the new album tried to tell us and answered some questions asked by the host. Later, it was the key link and also the point why I eagered to come here so much---Yan Yalun’s autograph on my new album. It meant that I could shake hands with him, I had never imagined it. It was my turn to get the autograph. He firstly received my letter written to him by me and shaked my hands. Then, you could never guess it, he touched my head softly! At that moment, I could hear nothing and my brains were all blank so that I even didn’t know how I came back.

To be honest, the excited feeling is out of the expression by words. Only have you walked into the scene can you tell the magic feel. Believe it or not, the idols can give fans power. So , guys, Just do a crazy thing under the cover of your blossom age!

正月里来正月正,元宵节里闹花灯。”这是民间的俗语。确实是这样,我昨天亲眼目睹了元宵节的热闹场面。进了一个繁华的街道,一个直入云霄的门匾上面写着清秀的三个大字:大观园。在白云的衬托下,显得像颐和园那样端庄。

一进门,两旁的花灯数不胜数,伴随着两旁的小溪、伴随着让心脏咚咚跳的大鼓声,我们找到了打鼓的地方,我一看原来是踩高跷的演员在表演,我最喜欢看踩高跷了,于是我迫不及待的奔向了高跷队,我看着四周全都是满满的人,便跳到石狮雕塑上去了,在雕塑上看得清清楚楚。那些演员们在演愚公移山的神话,真是活灵活现,那大山如同水桶一般,愚公头上戴着青中山帽,身上穿着黄佛教的服装,穿着绸缎裤,简直是一个老和尚。他那亲昵的微笑、和笑脸,给人一种亲切感。

武术格外热闹,那舞长矛的小选手,还有点像三国时的张飞呢。我们在这条充满古韵的街道,一直游玩到昙花都开了呢!

篇11:关于元宵节的来历与习俗

全文共 1975 字

+ 加入清单

元宵节是我国主要的传统节日,也叫元夕、元夜,又称上元节,因为这是新年第一个月圆夜。因历代这一节日有观灯习俗,故又称灯节。元宵节俗的形成有一个较长的过程,据一般的资料与民俗传说,正月十五在西汉已经受到重视,汉武帝正月上辛夜在甘泉宫祭祀“太一”的活动,被后人视作正月十五祭祀天神的先声。不过,正月十五真正作为民俗节日是在汉魏之后。东汉佛教文化的传入,对于形成元宵节俗有着重要的推动意义。

汉明帝永平年间(公元58年--75年),因明帝提倡佛法,适逢蔡愔从印度求得佛法归来,称印度摩喝陀国每逢正月十五,僧众云集瞻仰佛舍利,是参佛的吉日良辰。汉明帝为了弘扬佛法,下令正月十五夜在宫中和寺院“燃灯表佛”。因此正月十五夜燃灯的习俗随着佛教文化影响的扩大及道教文化的加入逐渐在中国扩展开来。而元宵节俗真正的动力是因为它处在新的时间点上,人们充分利用这一特殊的时间阶段来表达自己的生活愿望。

元宵放灯的习俗,在唐代发展成为盛况空前的灯市,中唐以后,已发展成为全民性的狂欢节。唐玄宗(公元685年--762年)时的开元盛世,长安的灯市规模很大,燃灯五万盏,花灯花样繁多,皇帝命人做巨型的灯楼,广达20间,高150尺,金光璀璨,极为壮观。

以后历代的元宵灯会不断发展,灯节的时间也越来越长。唐代的灯会是“上元前后各一日”,宋代又在十六之后加了两日,明代则延长到由初八到十八整整十天。作文

到了清代,满族入主中原,宫廷不再办灯会,民间的灯会却仍然壮观。日期缩短为五天,一直延续到今天。

“猜灯谜”又叫“打灯谜”是元宵节后增的一项活动,出现在宋朝。南宋时,首都临安每逢元宵节时制迷,猜谜的人众多。开始时是好事者把谜语写在纸条上,贴在五光十色的彩灯上供人猜。因为谜语能启迪智慧又饶有兴趣,所以流传过程中深受社会各阶层的欢迎。

唐宋时灯市上开始出现各式杂耍技艺。明清两代的灯市上除有灯谜与百戏歌舞之外,又增设了戏曲表演的内容。

历代人们除游灯市外,又有迎紫姑祭厕神、过桥摸钉走百病等习俗,有击太平鼓、秧歌、高跷、舞龙、舞狮等游戏。同时,还要吃些应节食物:南北朝时代元宵节吃伴和肉与动物油熬煮的豆粥或米粥,唐代吃一种叫“面茧”的面食,到宋代有盐豉汤印绿豆粉做的科斗羹,并出现了“圆子”,此后元宵节南北方均以吃元宵为习。

元宵灯节期间,是男女青年与情人相会的时机,所以元宵节又成了中国的“情人节”。

传统社会的元宵节是城乡重视的民俗大节,在城市元宵喧闹尤为热烈,它体现了中国民众特有的狂欢精神。传统元宵所承载的节俗功能已被日常生活消解,人们逐渐失去了共同的精神兴趣,复杂的节俗已经简化为“吃元宵”的食俗。

送孩儿灯

简称“送灯”,也称“送花灯”等,即在元宵节前,娘家送花灯给新嫁女儿家,或一般亲友送给新婚不育之家,以求添丁吉兆,因为“灯”与“丁”谐音。这一习俗许多地方都有,陕西西安一带是正月初八到十五期间送灯,头年送大宫灯一对、有彩画的玻璃灯一对,希望女儿婚后吉星高照、早生麟子;如女儿怀孕,则除大宫灯外,还要送一两对小灯笼,祝愿女儿孕期平安。

迎紫姑

紫姑也叫戚(七)姑,北方多称厕姑、坑三姑。古代民间习俗正月十五要迎厕神紫姑而祭,占卜蚕桑,并占众事。传说紫姑本为人家小妾,为大妇所妒,正月十五被害死厕间,成为厕神,所以民间多以女子做成紫姑之形,与夜间在厕所间猪栏迎而祀之。此俗流行于南北各地,早在南北朝时期就见于记载。

走百病

也叫游百病,散百病,走桥等,是一种消灾祈健康的活动。元宵节夜妇女相约出游,结伴而行,见桥必过,认为这样能祛病延年。

偷菜节

流行于贵州省黄平一带苗族的偷菜节也是在每年农历正月十五日举行。节日这天,姑娘们便成群结队去偷别人家的菜,严禁偷本家族的,也不能偷同性朋友家的,因为偷莱与她们的婚姻大事有关。所偷的菜仅限白菜,数量够大家吃一顿即可。偷菜不怕被发现,被偷的人家并不责怪。大家把偷来的菜集中在一起,做白菜宴。据说谁吃得最多,谁能早得意中人,同时所养的蚕最壮,吐出的丝也最好最多。

巴乌节

彝族的传统节日巴乌节在农历正月十五。“巴乌”意为“打猎归来”。见于云南鹤庆彝族支系黑活人居住区。此节原本是欢庆狩猎归来的习俗话动,无固定节日。旧时人们狩猎归来收拾猎物,兽头给狩猎的指挥,兽皮给猎获人,肉则烧烤,其间兽头前、兽皮跟、众人从,围火堆重现打猎动作。肉熟以后,众人分食。后来逐渐演变成固定的节日。节日中的巴乌舞由十二面木鼓、十二面铊锣和十二支唢呐(闰年各用十三件)组成乐队伴奏,由三十六名年轻女子披上虎、豹、熊、鹿、虎子、兔、狐等的毛皮或者头插锦鸡和各种鸟雀的羽毛。装扮成飞禽走兽,围绕火堆踏歌起舞,表现各种动物的姿态,模仿各种动物的叫声。猎手们则手持弓弩或钢叉,将“猎物”围住,朝“猎物”们旋转的相反方向,表演各种狩猎动作。节日期间,还要进行耍龙灯、狮灯、白鹤灯等活动。

篇15:三八妇女节的由来英文介绍

全文共 6655 字

+ 加入清单

International Womens Day (8 March) is an occasion marked by womens groups around the world. This date is also commemorated at the United Nations and is designated in many countries as a national holiday. When women on all continents, often divided by national boundaries and by ethnic, linguistic, cultural, economic and political differences, come together to celebrate their Day, they can look back to a tradition that represents at least nine decades of struggle for equality, justice, peace and development.

International Womens Day is the story of ordinary women as makers of history; it is rooted in the centuries-old struggle of women to participate in society on an equal footing with men. In ancient Greece, Lysistrata initiated a sexual strike against men in order to end war; during the French Revolution, Parisian women calling for "liberty, equality, fraternity" marched on Versailles to demand womens suffrage.

The idea of an International Womens Day first arose at the turn of the century, which in the industrialized world was a period of expansion and turbulence, booming population growth and radical ideologies. Following is a brief chronology of the most important events:

1909

In accordance with a declaration by the Socialist Party of America, the first National Womans Day was observed across the United States on 28 February. Women continued to celebrate it on the last Sunday of that month through 1913.

1910

The Socialist International, meeting in Copenhagen, established a Womens Day, international in character, to honour the movement for womens rights and to assist in achieving universal suffrage for women. The proposal was greeted with unanimous approval by the conference of over 100 women from 17 countries, which included the first three women elected to the Finnish parliament. No fixed date was selected for the observance.

1911

As a result of the decision taken at Copenhagen the previous year, International Womens Day was marked for the first time (19 March) in Austria, Denmark, Germany and Switzerland, where more than one million women and men attended rallies. In addition to the right to vote and to hold public office, they demanded the right to work, to vocational training and to an end to discrimination on the job.

Less than a week later, on 25 March, the tragic Triangle Fire in New York City took the lives of more than 140 working girls, most of them Italian and Jewish immigrants. This event had a significant impact on labour legislation in the United States, and the working conditions leading up to the disaster were invoked during subsequent observances of International Womens Day.

1913-1914

As part of the peace movement brewing on the eve of World War I, Russian women observed their first International Womens Day on the last Sunday in February 1913. Elsewhere in Europe, on or around 8 March of the following year, women held rallies either to protest the war or to express solidarity with their sisters.

1917

With 2 million Russian soldiers dead in the war, Russian women again chose the last Sunday in February to strike for "bread and peace". Political leaders opposed the timing of the strike, but the women went on anyway. The rest is history: Four days later the Czar was forced to abdicate and the provisional Government granted women the right to vote. That historic Sunday fell on 23 February on the Julian calendar then in use in Russia, but on 8 March on the Gregorian calendar in use elsewhere.

Since those early years, International Womens Day has assumed a new global dimension for women in developed and developing countries alike. The growing international womens movement, which has been strengthened by four global United Nations womens conferences, has helped make the commemoration a rallying point for coordinated efforts to demand womens rights and participation in the political and economic process. Increasingly, International Womens Day is a time to reflect on progress made, to call for change and to celebrate acts of courage and determination by ordinary women who have played an extraordinary role in the history of womens rights.

The Role of the United Nations

Few causes promoted by the United Nations have generated more intense and widespread support than the campaign to promote and protect the equal rights of women. The Charter of the United Nations, signed in San Francisco in 1945, was the first international agreement to proclaim gender equality as a fundamental human right. Since then, the Organization has helped create a historic legacy of internationally agreed strategies, standards, programmes and goals to advance the status of women worldwide.

Over the years, United Nations action for the advancement of women has taken four clear directions: promotion of legal measures; mobilization of public opinion and international action; training and research, including the compilation of gender desegregated statistics; and direct assistance to disadvantaged groups. Today a central organizing principle of the work of the United Nations is that no enduring solution to societys most threatening social, economic and political problems can be found without the full participation, and the full empowerment, of the worlds women.

范本二

Some 15,000 women marched through New York City in 1908 demanding shorter hours, better pay and voting rights。 A hundred year on, the pertinence of this event is honored through IWD’s 2008 global theme ‘Shaping Progress’.

1908年,一万五千名妇女走上纽约街头,这缩短工作时间、提高工资待遇、享有选举权游行示威。100年之后,今年国际妇女节的主题是“塑造进步”

In just three years, 2011 will see IWD’s Centenary – 100 years of women’s united action for global equality and change. Organizations around the world have already commenced planning fo r their IWD Centenary celebrations.

三年后将是国际妇女节100周年,也是各为妇女为全球平等和改变共同行动100周年。世界各地有关组织已经开始为国际妇女节百年华诞张罗庆典。

The first International Women’s Day was launched on 8 March 1911 in Copenhagen by Clara Zetkin, Leader of the ‘Women’s Office’ for the Social Democratic Party in Germany.From joozone.com. www.en369.cn/zhongkao/2011/0929/20291.html

第一个国际妇女节于1911年3月8日,由德国社会民主党“妇女办公室”领导人克拉拉。蔡特金发动,在哥本哈根举行。

In 1991, a handful of men in Canada launched the “white ribbon” campaign, which delivers the message that men are opposed to some other men’s violence against women.

1991年,由一群加拿大男性公民倡议发起的“白丝带”活动,就是关注女性、保护女性的最好例证。

Women’s Day marks the role of women in both past and the present. However , the day is not a one-day routine. The real challenge lies in the spontaneous flow of feelings – honoring and celebrating womanhood on a particular March 8 only to forget its importance the next day is sacrilegious.

“国际妇女节”意在凸显女性在社会中的重要角色。我们最大的挑战在于:3月8日这天,各种庆祝活动大张旗鼓;3月8日之后,一切“绚丽”关注烟消云散。

It is said that in the year of 300 AD, there was a kind old man and his name was Saint Nicholas. He was always ready to help the poor and often gave presents to them.

Today, Father Christmas is an imaginary figure, but nearly all young children believe in him. They think he is a happy old man with a long white beard and a long red robe.

On the night of the twenty-fourth of December every year, Father Christmas from some cold northern land comes down the chimney of the fireplace to put presents by the beds of children or to fill their stockings. So when children go to bed that night, they hang up their stockings, and on Christmas morning they wake to find them full of presents. Of course, it‘s really their parents who fill the stockings.

Another name for Father Christmas is Santa Claus.

正月十五闹元宵。各式各样的龙灯队伍经过城市的大街小巷,来到广场会合。老百姓也不约而同地涌上街头;爸爸牵着我的小手来到拥挤的人群中。

元宵节真乐闹。广场上有各式各样的龙灯,有飞龙、板龙还有许多叫不出名的龙在广场上飞舞着。到了晚上每条龙都跟活的一样。我问爸爸为什么要闹元宵?爸爸一时也说不清楚。回到家里立刻上网查寻,才知道“元宵节是中国传统节日,早两千多年前的西汉就有了,元宵赏灯起源于道教的“三元说”;正月十五为上元节。元宵节习俗活动随着历史的发展而改变,汉代才一天;到唐代为三天,宋代则为五天,明代更是自初八点灯,一直到十七的夜里才落灯。而现在元宵为正月十五当天。

我终于知道了元宵是怎么来的了!
