"年到了!年到了!"春节中洋溢着快乐的气息，让人陶醉，沉迷在这快乐的气息中。

我一觉醒来，穿好衣服，冲进爸妈房间。将手背在背后。清了清嗓子，大声喊道“：爸妈好，孩儿给你们拜年了，记得给红包!”妈妈说“：没有。”我大惊。那一个瞬间，我看到了从妈妈背后伸出来的红包。我大喊“：在那”。妈妈说“：竟然被你发现了，给你。”并从背后递出了红包。“谢谢妈妈!”我说着，向门口狂奔。

领完红包，我开始放鞭炮。我拿出一个名叫“节节高 100"的鞭炮。点燃了它。一枚枚“导弹”从“节节高

”中飞出，飞到半空中爆炸了。我数了一下，刚好有100发。而且一枚发的比一枚高，可真厉害。

一转眼，就到了晚上，婆婆连忙叫我们来吃饭。可口的饭菜摆满了整张饭桌，看的我眼花缭乱，有：梅菜扣肉，红烧茄子，香辣土豆丝和香煎鸡腿……多的数不胜数。口水都流了大半，我率先下筷，夹走一只鸡腿。仅仅两口，那只鸡腿就只剩下骨架了，我风卷残云，瞬间就把菜干掉了大半，真爽啊!

吃完饭，我们收看了春晚，寓意就是：要孝敬父母，尊敬长辈，做一个对社会有用的华夏子弟。遵纪守法，要诚实。春晚里面的节目让我沉醉了!

虽然年已经过完，可这个年是我过的最开心的一个年啦!

“啪！啪！啪！”大街上的鞭炮敲响了新年的时钟，震耳欲聋，洋溢着喜气．小孩子们纷纷放起了爆竹．鞭炮爆竹声混成一团儿，冲破云霄。瞧，时间如流水，转眼把我们带入了红火的春节。看，家家户户都挂上了对联，贴上了美丽的窗花。每个人脸上都洋溢着春节的喜悦。回想那年的春节，可真是有滋有味啊！

那天吃完饭后，爸爸拿出爆竹和我们走到楼下。爸爸拿出了打火机，对准导火线一点，那火便燃烧起来，火苗迅速地跑呀跑，迫不及待地来到爆竹旁边。“啪”爆竹开爆啰，我们一溜烟地跑到了门后，捂着耳朵。那爆炸声依然噼哩啪啦呼响个不停。我心里竟有一丝兴奋，就好像沉浸在一段美妙的音乐中无法自拔，四周乐声秦鸣，人就像身处在一片繁荣昌盛的仙境，真是热闹极了。

我们又回到家中，洗了一个热水脚，这是我们老家的习俗，大年三十下午洗个脚去除烦恼，脏东西。希望来年平平安安，健健康康。

到了晚上8点，我们全家准时打开电视，开启了春节联欢晚会的大门。春节联欢晚会已成了春节的一个习俗了。不仅能欣赏魔术、小品、歌舞、杂技等，还能收到祝福，欢乐，幸福……当迎新的钟声敲响时，我们中国人民满怀激动地呼喊着：“新年到了！新年到了！”啊！新年多么美好啊！它象征着旧的一年已经过去，新的一年又拉开序幕。我兴奋地在家中来回地跑着，抑制不住自己喜悦的心情。当我跑到阳台边时，突然，烟花飞上天空，在一瞬间，炸开了，有的像无数颗流星，有的像五光十色的花朵，有的如闪亮的大衣，还有的如金色的太阳，把大地照得如同白昼一样。多美呀！

春节，在这一天，让我们扬帆起航，共同迎接新年的到来！

The flight of time, Time flies like a shuttle. A year has passed so quickly. We have greeted our Spring Festival Gala again.

I always dream about returning to the past. As many people say, childhood is the happiest and easiest time in one’s life.

Children show you their true emotions. They know what is compassion and what is tolerance better than adults. In their world, all real thoughts are presented. They may easily have different opinions with others, but they never understand what is animosity. They enjoy making friends but they never think about making social communication net. Every child talks from the bottom of his heart without evil plans hidden and never intrigues against each other. Only in children’s way can adults make our life simple, more real and more enjoyable.

I wish everyone’s heart would keep as innocent and lovely as they ever did in their childhood. Then, the walls between our hearts can be broken down and the world would be a better place to live in.

Timeflies like an arrow before we realize it .It is known that nothing is

more precious than time. The good old proverb "time is money" reminds us that

time is valuable. When time goes by, it will never return. However, it is a pity

that some people dont make full use of their time .They spend a lot of time in

sleeping, chatting, playing computer games or other unmeaning matters. . They

dont realize that wasting time is actually equal to killing themselves. They

always regret not having made great achievements. One of the reasons may be they

do not make good use of time. Therefore, in order to be successful, they should

first get into the habit of being on time. It’s a sign of cherishing time. Dont

put off what can be done today until tomorrow. Being lazy will eventually lead

to failure. Dont wait, because you dont know how long it will take when you

put off your plan.

The more we are aware of the significance of this famous saying, the more

benefits we will get in study or job.

今天，过新年。大家穿新衣，带新帽。每家每户贴对联。天刚朦朦亮，人们就噼里啪啦地放起了鞭炮。今天的早饭家家户户都吃饺子和汤圆，象征着团团圆圆，美满幸福。吃完早饭，我和大人一起去拜年，大人们总是给孩子们很多的糖果和压岁钱，我的口袋都装不下了。

我们拜完年，妈妈带我们去公园里玩，公园里人来人往，十分拥挤。我们玩的很开心。要是在新年的这一天过生日，那该多好呀?

在一阵阵爆竹声中，一阵阵欢歌笑语中，我们终于迎来了春节！春节，是中国最盛大的节日，也是我们最高兴的日子。家家张灯结彩，街面上修饰一新，一派喜气洋洋的景象。爸爸妈妈也早早地把家里布置一新，置办了年货，我眨着幸福的眼睛，穿着新衣服在大衣柜镜子前照来照去，真是美极了！

[六年级春节作文500字

In China, the Spring festival is the first day of the lunar year.

People usually start preparing for the festival one month before it comes. They prepare delicious food, and clean and decorate their homes.

On Chinese New Year’s Eve, the family all get together for a big dinner. They stay up till midnight, and then play fireworks and crackers for good luck. On the first day of the lunar New Year, children put on their new clothes and greet their parents. They are very happy to get lucky money from them.

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 programmes。

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

春节是中国人民非常重要。在过去，人们不可能经常有肉，大米或其他美味的食物。在春节期间他们只能吃这些。所以每一年他们希望春节很快就会来的。现在，虽然人们的生活要好得多，我们可以每天吃美味的食物。人们仍然喜欢这个节日。因为大多数人可以有很长的假期，我们可以去旅行或访问我们的朋友和我们家有聚会。在晚上，我们可以有一顿大餐在餐馆或呆在家里和我的家人看电视节目。

我非常喜欢春节。春节是多么美妙！

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.

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。

A new year ，a new start，when I stand on the edge of  a new year，I cant help thinking about my plan of next year.

Just as the old saying：“Well began is the half of the success.”So I decide that I should be at work while the others are still relaxing ，and then ，at the beginning ，Im quicker than the others and of course I will get better result than the others.

But ，what I really decide to do is that I must make good of anytime I can spare though it seems impossible. While，I will do my best to live up with what I have planned，and the result will prove it.

Waking up on New Year, everybody dresses up. First they extend greetings to their parents. Then each child will get money as a New Year gift, wrapped up in red paper. People in northern China will eat jiaozi, or dumplings, for breakfast, as they think "jiaozi" in sound means "bidding farewell to the old and ushering in the new". Also, the shape of the dumpling is like gold ingot from ancient China. So people eat them and wish for money and treasure.

Southern Chinese eat niangao (New Year cake made of glutinous rice flour) on this occasion, because as a homophone, niangao means "higher and higher, one year after another." The first five days after the Spring Festival are a good time for relatives, friends, and classmates as well as colleagues to exchange greetings, gifts and chat leisurely.

China has 56 ethnic groups. Minorities celebrate their Spring Festival almost the same day as the Han people, and they have different customs.

[英语作文：中国春节习俗

Spring Festival is the most important festival for Chinese people. The Spring Festival is very exciting, especially on the eve of the Spring Festival.

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。

The Spring Festival lasts for 15 days, there would be starting on the first day, to the end of the January 15 Lantern Festival.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.

春节一共有15天，从大年初一开始，到元月十五元宵节这一天结束。在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。但是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。

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.

但是三十年来的经济发展已经让中国人，除了那些仍然穷苦的人以外，随时都能享受美食。这得益于人民财富的增长，但是后者也导致一些人吃得太多而受到肥胖威胁和健康问题。

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.

在过去，庆祝春节还只停留在北方的二人转和南方的舞龙舞狮等形式。那些庆祝活动往往需要许多人合力才能办得起来。但是经济的发展和国际化程度的提升似乎已经将这种社会联系弱化了。许多人，特别是城市居民，不太愿意与不相识的人一起共度春节。

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.

与春节相关的许多习俗也被改变了。在过去，人们常常会带着礼物走亲访友，互道祝福。今天许多人，特别是年轻人，用手机或是网络向亲朋好友发去“礼物”和祝福。有些人或许会说，这说明人们已经没有那么关心至爱亲朋了，但是我们应该把这种变化看作信息化时代省钱省力的好办法。

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.

最近几年，许多人开始祈祷事业高升，财源滚滚，而不是求神拜佛，他们身体健康，长命百岁，家庭美满。但是这样的人数现在正在减少，说明人们开始变得更加理性。
