Last year I could not celebrate the festival with my family because I was in university. However this special day left a deep impression on me.
I still remember the atmosphere of that evening. All the students who could not go back home assembled in our classroom having a party to celebrate this traditional festival. We tried our best to show our own enthusiasm. As an ethnic minority I performed a peacock dance which received warm applause. After the two-hour party we went out to the playground and sat together to appreciate the moon because it is a tradition on Mid-autumn Day. We ate moon cakes played cards and listened to romantic poems recited by one of our classmates. In that harmonious atmosphere nobody felt lonely or homesick even though we were far away from our homes.
Thanks to our classmates I experienced such a colorful and interesting Mid-autumn Day at my university. Thus I learned to value all the festivals I spent during my university life.

全文共 1406 字
+ 加入清单The Mid-Autumn Festival has all interesting history。 Long ago in one of the dynasties of China there was a king who was very cruel to the people and did not manage the country well。 The people were so angry that some brave ones suggested killing the king。 So they wrote notes telling about the meeting place and time and put them into cakes。 On the 15th day of the 8th lunar month every person was told to buy the cakes。 When they ate them they discovered the notes。 So they gathered together to make a sudden attack on the king。 From then on the Chinese people celebrate on the 15th day of the 8th lunar month and eat "moon cakes" in memory of that important event。
When the Mid-Autumn Festival is near, shop windows are beautifully decorated。 Many "moon cakes" are displayed for people to buy。 People send presents such aswine, fruits and "moon cakes" to their friends and relatives。 In the evening of the day, they have a feast。 After the feast, they go out to the garden to look at the moon。 The children run and laugh on the streets。
It is believed that the moon is at her brightest on this night。 Many poems have been written about it, and poets are never tired of reading and writing such poems。 In Chinese literature, the moon of the Mid Autumn Festival has been pared to a looking-glass, a jade rabbit, and so on。 It seems that Chinese literature takes far more interest in the moon than in the sun。

His caving mouth can hardly close nowadays and there is often a trickle of saliva wandering aimlessly down the side of his chin.Strands of thin, grey hair crawls messily over his almost bald head.And the once deep blue eyes are now covered with a layer of opaque white.What he sees is no longer clear, but they are all the same beautiful. The blurred window sills and the distance skyscrapers,all present him with a new beauty that he never appreciated when he was young.Age is cruel.However, what to the outside world may seem like an old man in despair is to him only a way of peaceful life.
篇19:春节习俗介绍英语作文
全文共 4510 字
+ 加入清单在中国,凡逢春节和其他的喜庆日子,人们总要燃放爆竹来表示庆贺.燃放爆竹可以说是中国民间一个十分重要的风俗习惯.
爆竹也叫"炮竹","爆仗","炮仗",平常人们更习惯叫"鞭炮",有大约2000多年的历史了.最早的爆竹叫"庭燎".是用竹竿一类的东西做成火炬,燃烧时发出噼噼啪啪的爆裂声,也叫"爆竿.
燃放爆竹风俗最早起因于驱鬼除邪,祈求一年的吉祥顺利.传说,有个叫做"山臊"的四角怪兽和恶鬼平常藏在深山,每隔365天便出来伤害人畜.这些无恶不做的坏东西害怕爆炸的声音和亮光.于是,每到岁末年首,人们就争着燃放鞭炮,用来驱赶"山臊"和恶鬼.
中国的唐代发明火药以后,人们便把火药放进竹筒,点燃后发出巨大的声音,这种爆竹叫做"爆竹筒".到了宋代,爆竹的制作方法改为把火药装进用纸卷成的筒里,名字也叫爆竹了.后来人们开始把许多小的炮仗用药线连接起来,成为"一发连百余响不绝"的鞭炮.讲究的鞭炮用红颜色的纸制作,鞭炮爆炸后,红屑满地,人称"满地红",表示吉利.随着发展,鞭炮的品种和色彩也由原来的单调发展得丰富多彩,有小鞭炮,电光雷,母子雷,射天炮,百头,千头鞭,甚至还有几万头长的鞭炮.
现在,随着人们环保意识的加强,燃放鞭炮的习俗在中国很多大城市中受到禁止.但是,聪明的中国人依然想出了其他热闹的庆祝节日的办法.

篇20:关于介绍中国的餐桌礼仪的英语作文
全文共 1541 字
+ 加入清单Table Manners
The main difference between Chinese and western eating habits is that unlike the West, where everyone has their own plate of food, in China the dishes are placed on the table and everybody shares. If you are being treated by a Chinese host, be prepared for a ton of food. Chinese are very proud of their culture of cuisine and will do their best to show their hospitality.
And sometimes the Chinese host use their chopsticks to put food in your bowl or plate. This is a sign of politeness. The appropriate thing to do would be to eat the whatever-it-is and say how yummy it is. If you feel uncomfortable with this, you can just say a polite thank you and leave the food there.
Eating No-nos
Dont stick your chopsticks upright in the rice bowl.Instead,lay them on your dish. The reason for this is that when somebody dies,the shrine to them contains a bowl of sand or rice with two sticks of incense stuck upright in it. So if you stick your chopsticks in the rice bowl, it looks like this shrine and is equivalent to wishing death upon a person at the table!
Make sure the spout of the teapot is not facing anyone. It is impolite to set the teapot down where the spout is facing towards somebody. The spout should always be directed to where nobody is sitting, usually just outward from the table.
Dont tap on your bowl with your chopsticks.Beggars tap on their bowls, so this is not polite.Also, when the food is coming too slow in a restarant, people will tap their bowls. If you are in someones home,it is like insulting the cook.
