+ 加入清单There are many different beliefs about the origin of the Lantern Festival.
But one thing for sure is that it had something to do with celebrating and
cultivating positive relationship between people, families, nature and the
higher beings they believed were responsible for bringing/returning the light
each year.
One legend tells us that it was a time to worship Taiyi, the God of Heaven
in ancient times. The belief was that the God of Heaven controlled the destiny
of the human world. He had sixteen dragons at his beck and call and he decided
when to inflict drought, storms, famine or pestilence upon human beings.
Beginning with Qinshihuang, the first emperor to unite the country, all the
emperors ordered splendid ceremonies each year. The emperor would ask Taiyi to
bring favorable weather and good health to him and his people. Emperor Wudi of
the Han Dynasty directed special attention to this event. In 104 BC, he
proclaimed it as one of the most important celebrations and the ceremony would
last throughout the night. They clean it all up in the morning.
Another legend associates the Lantern Festival with Taoism. Tianguan is the
Taoist god responsible for good fortune. His birthday falls on the 15th day of
the first lunar month. It is said that Tianguan likes all types of
entertainment, so followers prepare various kinds of activities during which
they pray for good fortune.
Yet another common legend dealing with the origins of the Lantern Festival
speaks of a beautiful bird that flew down to earth from heaven, which was hunted
and killed by some villagers. This angered the Jade Emperor in Heaven because
the bird was his favorite one. Therefore, he planned a storm of fire to destroy
the village on the 15th lunar day. The Jade Emperors daughter heard of this
plan, and warned the villagers of her father’s plan to destroy their village.
The village was in turmoil because nobody knew how should they escape their
imminent destruction.
However, a wise man from another village suggested that every family should
hang red lanterns around their houses, set up bonfires on the streets, and
explode firecrackers on the 14th, 15th, and 16th lunar days. This would give the
village the appearance of being on fire to the Jade Emperor. On the 15th lunar
day, troops sent down from heaven whose mission was to destroy the village saw
that the village was already ablaze, and returned to heaven to report to the
Jade Emperor. Satisfied, the Jade Emperor decided not to burn down the village.
From that day on, people celebrate the anniversary on the 15th lunar day every
year by carrying red lanterns on the streets and exploding firecrackers and
fireworks.
There are many stories on how this festival was created. One other story is
about a maid. In the Han Dynasty, Mr. Eastern was a favorite advisor of the
emperor. One winter day, he went to the garden and heard a little girl crying
and getting ready to jump into a well to commit suicide. Mr. Eastern stopped her
and asked why. She said she was a maid in the emperors palace and her name was
Yuan-Xiao.
She never had the chance to meet her family after she started worked at the
palace. She missed them so much every 12th lunar month. If she couldnt have the
chance to show her filial piety in this life, she would rather die. Mr. Eastern
promised her to find a way so she could reunion with her family. Mr. Eastern
left the palace and set up a fortune-telling stall on the street and disguised
himself as a fortuneteller. Because of his reputation, many people asked for
their fortunes.
But every one got the same prediction - a severe fire accident on the 15th
lunar day. The rumor spread quickly. Everyone was worried about the future and
asked Mr. Eastern for help. Mr. Eastern said, "On the 13th lunar day, the God of
Fire will send a fairy lady in red to burn down the city. If you see a lady in
red wearing green pants riding a black horse on that day, you should ask for her
mercy." On that day, Yuan-Xiao pretended to be the red fairy lady. When people
asked for her help, she said, "Im the messenger of the God of Fire and came to
check on the city and Im going to set up fire on 15th. This is an order from
Jade Emperor. He will watch from the heavens.
I will give you a copy of the imperial decree from the God of Fire. You
should go to ask your emperor to find a way out." After she left, people went to
the palace to show the emperor the decree which reads "The capital city is in
trouble. Fire burns on the palace, and fire from Heaven burns all night long on
the 15th." The emperor of Han Dynasty was very shocked. He called and asked Mr.
Eastern for advice. After pondering for a while, Mr. Eastern said, "I heard that
the God of Fire likes to eat Tang-Yuan (Sweet dumpling). Does Yuan-Xiao often
cook Tang-Yuan for you? On the 15th lunar day, let Yuan-Xiao make Tang-Yuan.
Your Majesty will take charge of the worshipping ceremony and you will give
an order to every house to prepare Tang-Yuan to worship the God of Fire at the
same time. Also, deliver another order to ask every house in the city to hang
red lantern and explode fire crackers. Lastly, everyone in the palace and people
outside the city should carry their lanterns on the street to watch the lantern
decoration and fireworks. If everything goes this way, the Jade Emperor would be
deceived.
Then everyone can avoid the fire accident." The emperor happily followed
the plan. Lanterns were everywhere in the capital city on the night of the 15th
lunar day. People were walking on the street. Fire crackers kept making lots of
noise. It looked like the entire city was on fire. Yuan-Xiaos parents went into
the palace to watch the lantern decorations, and Yuan-Xiao made a big lantern
and wrote her name on the lantern. They happily reunited together after her
parents called her name. Everybody was safe during the night. The emperor of Han
Dynasty had a new order that people should do the same thing every year. Since
Yuan-Xiao cooked the best Tan-Yuan, people called the day Yuan-Xiao
Festival.
Young people were chaperoned in the streets in hopes of finding love.
Matchmakers acted busily in hopes of pairing couples. The brightest lanterns
were symbolic of good luck and hope. As time has passed, the festival no longer
has such implications.
Those who do not carry lanterns often enjoy watching informal lantern
parades. In addition to eating tangyuan (simplified Chinese: 汤圆; traditional
Chinese: 湯圓; pinyin: tāngyuán), another popular activity at this festival is
guessing lantern riddles (which became part of the festival during the Tang
Dynasty), which often contain messages of good fortune, family reunion, abundant
harvest, prosperity and love.

a quiet man. Though he doesnt talk much, the way he shows his love can be seen
all the time. Father deserves the applause as mother.

篇4:关于茶的英语作文初中
全文共 1688 字
+ 加入清单"When a guest comes to my home from afar on a cold night, I light bamboo to
boil tea to offer him.”— Ancient Chinese poem.
China is the home country of tea. Before the Tang Dynasty, Chinese tea was
exported by land and sea, first to Japan and Korea, then to India and Central
Asia and, in the Ming and Qing dynasties, to the Arabian Peninsula. In the early
period of the 17th century, Chinese tea was exported to Europe, where the upper
class adopted the fashion of drinking tea. Chinese tea—like Chinese silk and
china—has become synonymous worldwide with refined culture. At the heart of the
culture of tea—the study and practice of tea in all its aspects—is the simple
gesture of offering a cup of tea to a guest that for Chinese people today is a
fundamental social custom, as it has been for centuries.
China traces the development of tea as an art form to Lu Yu, known as "the
Saint of Tea" in Chinese history, who lived during the Tang Dynasty and who
wrote The Book of Tea, the first ever treatise on tea and tea culture. The
spirit of tea permeates Chinese culture, and throughout the country there are
many kinds of teas, teahouses, tea legends, tea artifacts and tea customs.
Better-known places to enjoy a good cup of tea in China include Beijing noted
for its variety of teahouses; Fujian and Guangdong provinces and other places in
the southeast of China that serve gongfu tea, a formal serving of tea in tiny
cups; the West Lake in Hangzhou, also the home of the Tea Connoisseurs
Association, noted for its excellent green tea; and provinces in southwest China
like Yunnan where the ethnic groups less affected by foreign cultures retain tea
ceremonies and customs in original tea-growing areas.

that against the leaden sky now revealed more fully the wonderful beauty and
intricacies of their branches. What silence, too, came with the snow, and what
seclusion! Every sound was muffled, every noise changed to something soft and
musical. No more tramping hoofs, no more rattling wheels! Only the chiming of
the sleigh-bells, beating as swift and merrily as the hearts of children.

+ 加入清单Since its rise, the Internet has been playing a more and more important
role in our daily life. It brings tremendous convenience and efficiency to our
lives. Online shopping is also a new rising thing brought by the Internet. Since
its increasing developing speed, some people think that online shopping will
replace traditional shopping. However, as far as I am concerned, it wont happen
in a short time.
Although online shopping is really very convenient, there are still some
strong points of traditional shopping which cannot be replaced by online
shopping. Firstly, online shopping lacks the intuitional impression of goods.
Sometimes the photos offered by the sellers are beautified with softwares, and
you will be disappointed to find the actual item is far from your expectation.
Secondly, returning goods in online shopping is quite troublesome, and sometimes
you only can achieve your goal at the cost of the payment of the postage by
yourself. Finally, there are too many fake products and cheats in online
shopping, and the quality of goods cannot be guaranteed as those in traditional
shops.
According to the points above, online shopping still needs some
improvements to totally replace the functions of traditional shopping. However,
the potential of online business is so huge that it will certainly take a great
share in the trade market.

篇9:关于代沟英语作文高中

+ 加入清单The generation gap is unavoidable in almost every family, which brings
about a number of conflicts in a family. In my opinion, to limit the bad effects
of the generation gap, each family should use the following three methods:
First of all, it is important that family members discuss openly about
their pleasures or sadness in childhood in family gatherings. This activity does
not only create a close relationship but also help build up understanding among
all members. For instance, once children are aware that their grandparents and
even their parents did not have a good upbringing during their hard childhood,
they will stop complaining about the previous generations’ obsoleteness. In the
meantime, once old people realize young people are nurtured in a new modern way,
it is easy for them to be tolerant of young people’s new habits or hobbies.
Secondly, people of each generation should not develop a very high feeling
about themselves. In order to do that, they should not think that they are the
only right people in their family because each person has his or her own
limitations. Teenagers would realize that their parents have to struggle with
pain to support them financially, and they would stop rebelling their
strictness. Parents would realize that their children’s new style does no harm
to their studies and stop imposing their own unsuitable standards on their
children.
Finally, the generation gap and its bad effects can be limited if all
members cooperate to build up a close-knit family relationship and a harmonious
atmosphere in which they are open and tolerant of each other. I strongly believe
that each family, by doing that, can enjoy a cozy atmosphere with minimum
interference by the generation gap.

user.
However, bad things happen. Some people damage the QR code on the bike, or
use their own lock, which causes trouble to other users.
In my opinion, it’s difficult to turn these people’s ideas in a short time.
Therefore, bike-sharing companies like Mobike and Ofo need to do something. For
example, those who damage the bike should pay for their actions. Also, because
people use their real name to register as a user, it’s a good way to connect to
one’s personal credit.
In the end, what I want to say is to take good care of public services.

I could understand art and mastered one skill. This experience brings me the
sense of art. I have my own understanding of it.
On the one hand, art is an important way to express peoples opinion. When
we see the pictures, the difference between classical and ordinary paintings
lies in the thoughts. The famous artists implant their ideas in the pictures,
which are admitted by the public, so the value of arts can be seen. Some famous
artists expressed their unique opinion and gives arts great meaning.
On the other hand, art is not only from works, but also from life. For
example, my mother cooks the delicious food. Everybody speaks highly of her. So
her food brings people great happiness, which makes the food an art for me.
Whats more, my friends is good at communicating. The way she talks can convince
other easily, so I call the way she communicates as an art.

life for the middle-aged is stressful indeed. For one thing, as they are the
backbones of their companies, they have plenty of things to do at work. And they
usually have to work overtime. For another, they have to take great
responsibilities at home, for their aged parents need to be supported and their
little children need to be brought up. Thats why they dont have enough time to
have a good rest.
To sleep well, some of them often take sleeping pills. I dont think its
good for them to do so, because the sleeping pills can only get rid of the sign
of insomnia, not the cause. And taking too much sleeping pills is bad for their
health.
Therefore, I suggest those middle-aged people should know how to relax
themselves and rest their brains. Taking a simple work after supper will be
beneficial for them. Besides, they can have a glass of milk before going to bed,
which can be helpful for their sleep.

both knowledge and entertainment. By reading, we can learn lots of information
and know our history. But for some people, reading is not their priority. They
will choose to watch movies to have fun. However, I think people can benefit a
lot by reading.
First of all, reading can let us know what have happened in history. Since

happened in history but also we can better understand the great figures of the
age.
Secondly, reading can enrich our knowledge. By reading, we can know
different kinds of things, how things happen and how to avoid bad things from
happening. Books record a wide range of things about life. Through reading, we
can know various aspects of life.
Thirdly, reading teaches us skills. There are so many books about how to
learn a certain language, how to get a good job, how to become popular in your
circle, how to cook and so on. Thus, these kinds of books can make us more
skillful if we do a certain thing.
All in all, we can find lots of benefits through reading.
