春节自然是中国人一年中最隆重、最盛大的的节日，所有的人都非常希望春节的到来，在我的记忆里令我最快乐的是今年的春节。

因为大年三十是我们一家三口到爷爷奶奶家过年，所以刚到爷爷奶奶家，一抬头见爷爷家安全门上贴着一幅红地儿金字对联，这时我想起了王安石的一首的诗作《元日》中“千门万户曈曈日，总把新桃换旧符。”的佳句。站在窗边透过玻璃一眼望去：家家户户的窗户上都贴上了大红的吊钱儿。喜庆的气氛洒满了整个城市，人们都沉浸在喜悦和幸福之中。

一到下午厨房传来了乒乒乓乓的切菜声，不用看就知道是爸爸妈妈正在忙碌年夜饭。我把一张京剧名家名段的DVD盘作为新春礼物送给喜欢听京剧的爷爷，爷爷夸我懂事孝顺;奶奶给了我一个压岁红包，希望我新年学业上取得好成绩。快要吃年夜饭了，奶奶十分神秘对大家说：“今天我请来了一位客人和我们一起过春节，大家都要热情接待。”我说：“神秘客人?大年三十还会有谁?”奶奶笑而不答，过了一会儿，门打开了，奶奶用手轻轻地拉着一位老太太，原来是隔壁的孤老户刘奶奶。把刘奶奶让进来后，我奶奶高兴说道：“我把刘奶奶请来同我们家一起过年，大家欢迎。”全家人热烈鼓掌欢迎，刘奶奶也激动得热泪迎眶，说道：“没想到我一个孤老户，能有福气和你们全家过春节。”

好不容易等到了开饭，一碗碗美味佳肴上桌啦，鸡、鸭、鱼、肉、蔬菜、海鲜……全齐了，看得人垂涎欲滴。爷爷、奶奶、刘奶奶、爸爸、妈妈和我都欢欢喜喜地围坐在一起，高高兴兴吃起了年夜饭。其中有件事令我很高兴。爸爸把的一只虾到了爷爷的碗里，爷爷却把它夹给了我，懂事的我又把这只虾夹进了刘奶奶的碗里，刘奶奶看到了一边擦着激动的热泪一边高兴地说：“你们家有这么懂事的孩子，真有福气啊!”听了这话，我奶奶脸上的皱纹都笑成了一朵花。大家边吃边聊，其乐融融。整个房间都充满了温馨、欢乐的气氛。

临近子夜时分，爆竹声越来越密集，一串串鞭炮在人们手中点燃，火光四溅，仿佛要把每一个祝福送到千家万户。我心中想着大家健康、快乐、平安就是我的幸福。

今年的春节令我非常难忘，因为我觉得这一天是快乐和有意义的，我爱春节。

俗话说：“百里不同风，千里不同俗。”我们这有着独特的风俗，春节更为热闹。

腊月二十三是过小年。太阳刚落山，那炮竹声接二连三的响起。一接一家的放，过年的喜庆也越来越浓了，给过年拉开了帷幕。

腊月二十四，家家都去买过年需要用的物品，街上人山人海，卖什么的都有，有孩子们最喜欢的玩具，有男孩子们喜欢的炮竹，这天街上分外热闹。还有，这天比须都要大扫除一次，不论什么都要弄干净。

腊月二十四一过，一眨眼便到了最热闹的除夕。除夕这天，家家都要贴对联，放鞭炮，守岁。吃年夜饭是必不可少的。年夜饭是最丰盛的一餐，其中最必不可少的就是鱼和各种圆子，鱼象征着“年年有鱼”不愁吃不愁穿，圆子象征着“团团圆圆”。吃过年夜饭后，大人们还要给小孩们红包呢！除夕！除夕夜家家灯火通明，鞭炮烟花声没停过。大人们一起打麻将，小孩子们一起坐在沙发上看春节年节联欢晚会，到了十二点钟，要放鞭炮和烟花，是为了迎新年。

正月初一，家家都要互相拜年，这是小孩们最喜欢的，知说一句吉利话，就能得到一个红包。

转眼间，春节就结束了，我多么盼望明年的春节来临啊！

今天，就是一年一度的中秋节了。我过得既开心又难忘，真想天天过节啊!为了庆祝节日，我们一家人中午在一起吃了一顿大餐，过了一次有意义的节日。

还没开始吃饭，就有一股浓浓的香气直扑而来，我和妹妹的口水垂涏三尺，禁不住留香的菜端了上来，把我和妹妹的眼睛都看花了。我拿起筷了正准备大吃一顿，可是，耳朵里响起妈妈平时经常说

的话语，在没有开餐之前，不要先吃，要等大人来了一起吃。中秋吃月饼，是我国流传已久的传统风俗。风清月朗、桂香沁人，家家尝月饼、赏月亮，喜庆团圆，别有风味。

Do your best to talk with people in Chinese. You can learn Chinese not only from books but also from people around you. If you have any questions, please ask me. Im sure youll learn Chinese well.

Hope to see you soon in Beijing.

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 programs.

“初一糕，初二棕，初三螺，初四桃，初五插艾……“每当听到这些儿歌，我就会想起家乡的端午节。

每年的端午节，我都会和堂姐一起上山去采艾，初五这一天，家家户户门上都会插艾草，据说艾草会镇邪避灾。当我闻到它那清新而又奇异的艾草的清香，对我来说是一件多么快乐的事呀!所以，我们每年都会争着上山，采来大把大把的艾草，也采来了一份份快乐。奶奶用“五味草”给我们煮上好多的鸡蛋，说小孩子吃了不咳嗽。吃完了鸡蛋。奶奶又会用“五味草”煮鸡蛋的水给我们洗澡，真是又香又舒服，整个夏天都不会担心长痱子……

在我的记忆中，端午节除了能吃上香喷喷的鸡蛋，最难忘的是粽子。

没想到端午节，奶奶总会买好多的粽叶，用水泡着，然后让我洗好，洗好后，放在一个干净装了水的盆子里。粽子的馅一般是糯米，配上绿豆、红枣等，煮熟后，奶奶忙着把它们拿出来，我们小孩便馋猫般围着锅转，等着能吃上香喷喷的粽子。

听说，粽子的来历是跟我国历史上的爱国诗人屈原有关呢!据说屈原跳入汩罗江后，人们怕鱼来伤害他，所以用粽叶包好的粽子扔进江里，这样，有东西吃，鱼就不会伤害他了。

这是家乡的端午节!

、my favorite city is ShanghaiShanghai is Chinas most comprehensive industrial and commercial city, ranking the first in population and population density. As a tourist city, it attracts travelers from both home and abroad by its commercial activity rather than scenic beauty. Shanghai is situated on the bank of the Yangtze River Delta, with East River in the east and Hangzhou delta in the south. Housing a population of over 16 million at present, it was once a small town supported by fishing and weaving before the first Opium War.

Late in 1990, the central government started developing the area, and has since became the well-known booming metropolis city. Dressing in Shanghai is casual but modest. Bring along some heavy clothing for the winter whereas light clothing is adequate during summer. Visitors to China are required to fill in a health declaration form at the Customs. Medical facilities are generally adequate in Shanghai. It is advisable to drink only boiled and bottled water。

20__年，我国首次将清明节纳入法定节假日，这个民族节日的确立，让家有是去亲属的人们有祭奠、和扫墓的时间，也给众多市民踏青的时间。然而，我们的青少年一代呢?他们知道清明节的由来和日期吗?据广州市少年宫的一项调查显示，有70%以上的学生知道清明节，但对清明的由来却不甚了解。于是，利用今天清明之际，很想说一个“让孩子们爱民族传统节日”的话题。

清明节，又叫踏青节。清明节是每年的4月4日至6日，之所以日期不固定，是因为清明既是节日又是节气。二十四节气为24个特定的时刻，而非特定的24天。一个回归年实际长度为365.2422天，历法上的一年长度则为365天，因此每年会多出0。2422天，累积4年后为0。9688天，几近一天，故公历历法中有“闰年”制度，每四年会多出2月29日一天。顺延的结果，使得某节气的时刻也提前到前一日，因此会使节气的日期改变，但日期差异只会在3天内。故清明在每年4月4——6日之间。清明，华夏正是春光明媚、草木吐绿、百花盛开的时节，所以古人有清明踏青的习俗。

清明作为节日，与纯粹的节气又有所不同。节气是我国物候变化、时令顺序的标志，而节日则包含着一定的风俗活动和某种纪念意义。清明节是中国重要的传统民俗节日之一，去年被列入第一批国家级非物质文化遗产名录。

清明节是我国传统节日，是祭祖和扫墓的日子。按照旧的习俗，扫墓时，人们要携带酒食果品、纸钱等物品到墓地，将食物供祭在亲人墓前，再将纸钱焚化，为坟墓培上新土，折几枝嫩绿的新枝插在坟上，然后叩头行礼祭拜，最后吃掉酒食回家。唐代诗人杜牧的诗《清明》：“清明时节雨纷纷，路上行人欲断魂。借问酒家何处有，牧童遥指杏花村。”写出了清明节的特殊气氛。

改革开放后的中国，西方的节日文化“大肆侵入”我国，如圣诞节、情人节、愚人节等等，每到圣诞节来临，大街小巷火树银花，无数的圣诞老人笑容可掬的在各个商业场所迎接我们，酒店、饭店、酒吧、歌厅更是因圣诞而爆满，商家也借“圣诞”收获了一枚枚“金蛋”，鼓足了腰包，乐咧了嘴角……圣诞节实在不亚于我国传统的春节。再看情人节，到处玫瑰花飘香、巧克力诱人……

很遗憾，在圣诞节，当我们祈祷平安或者狂欢时，我们的青少年却离传统的节日渐行渐远。所以，我们的传统文化传承当从每一个节日开始：元宵节、植树节、清明节、端午节、教师节、中秋节等等，找到适合孩子的过节方式，多讲讲节日的由来和习俗，相信他们还是会很喜欢传统节日的，当然，这需要家长和老师的共同努力。

从清明节，想到上面这些，并不是想全盘否定或禁止西方的节日，只是不喜欢因西方文化节日的侵入，让我们的年轻一代忘掉了“老祖宗”留下的传统文化，这绝不是守旧。提倡传爱护统节日，是对我们民族历史的一种继承和保护，现代中学生尤其要首当其冲，继承和发扬，只有尊重和保护传统节日，才能更多的了解中华五千年文明的历史，才能树立正确的人生观、世界观和价值观，才能更加爱国，才能成才，才能为国家多做贡献。

说到春节，大家一般都干些什么?放烟花、吃团年饭、领红包、守岁、贴春联……

过春节时，我最喜欢的便是吃团年饭。

到了晚上，我们家就要吃团年饭了，远方的亲人都会赶回来，一家团聚。厨房里外婆、奶奶、姨妈、妈妈忙活着，菜香从门缝里逃了出来，涌进我的鼻子里，这时，我的肚子已经敲打着“饿”的时钟了!哎，什么时候开饭啊?会做些什么好吃的呢?

等了好久，一大桌香喷喷的菜终于上齐了，我恨不得一下就飞过去，但是，可恶的爸爸把我拦住了。还说什么要先让过世的亲人吃，只见他盛了几碗饭，他拿来纸钱在桌子下点着，嘴里还念念有词，请过世的亲人都来吃。

终于开饭了，我目不转睛地盯着桌子中间的一盘披着黄金甲的红烧鱼，口水都差点流到我的碗里了!我正伸手要去夹，又被爸爸拦住了。我嘴里哼哼道“为什么不让我吃鱼!”爸爸哈哈大笑道：“因为中间这条鱼是‘看鱼’不能吃，它的寓意是‘年年有鱼’。”原来还有这个说法呀!

就算不能吃鱼也有一大桌子的菜呢!白白的、滑滑的年糕、香香脆脆的土豆片、被红汁包围的红烧肉、油而不腻的猪肉、白嫩的豆腐……我恨不得把它们全塞到我的嘴里。

以前我还小，不懂得过年的寓意，不过我现在已经明白了。过年是要一家团聚，红红火火，热热闹闹的，是准备要迎接新的一年!

美好的一天

In recent years, there are more and more Confucius Institutes being built

all around the world, which shows that our Chinese culture become much more

popular than ever. As one of the four ancient civilizations, China has long

history and creates many splendid cultures. The ancient culture once had great

influence on the world, such as Japan, South Korea and other Asian and European

countries.

From the respect of school, Confucianism, Mohism, Taoism, and Legalism are

the main schools created in ancient China, and they also have great influence on

the Modern China and the world, especially the Confucianism. They deeply root in

traditional Chinese culture and people’s daily lives.

Specially, kung fu, traditional Chinese painting, poem, opera, cooking,

clothing, architecture and many other kinds of cultural forms make up the

splendid Chinese culture. The kinds listed above are the typical ones which

connect to each other at the same time. For example, painting, clothing and

architecture has many things in common. And each kind of cultural form contains

numerous intentions.

In short, Chinese culture are the accumulation of Chinese history, which

makes Chinese culture colorful and prosperous. If one wants to know or study

Chinese culture deeply, he or she must spend much time in it, otherwise he or

she can only get the tip of an iceberg.

春节是我们的传统节日，代表着新的一年向我们走来。在我的记忆里，我们每年都是回奶奶家过年。

除夕那天吃过早饭，我和爸爸一起贴对联，贴“福”字的时候，爸爸叫我倒着贴，我好奇地问：“爸爸，好好的一个‘福’字为什么要倒着贴”?爸爸说：“因为这样福就到我们家来了呀!”原来如此，是“福到”呢!我赶紧把福字倒过来，贴好了叫爸爸看，爸爸满意地连连点头。

吃年夜饭的时候，我们会给菜起上吉祥的名字，姑妈端着一条鱼摆上桌的时候，我们会说“年年有鱼”!端来膀子的时候，我会说“聚宝盆”。不一会儿桌子上就摆满了各种美味佳肴，我们一大家人坐在桌子旁边一边吃着团圆饭，一边看着春节联欢晚会，奶奶说：“慢慢吃，年夜饭越吃得久来年越好!”屋里一片欢声笑语。

晚上的时候，我和弟弟搬来了一大箱子烟花，在姐姐的帮助下，我点燃一个“小蜜蜂”，只见“小蜜蜂”嗡的一声，随一道五颜六色的彩带飞了出去，我高兴得一蹦三尺高，弟弟也手舞足蹈。随后我又放了各种款式的烟花。到了春节倒计时的时候，爸爸会放鞭炮和大大的烟花，一声巨响，顿时天上开出了一朵朵彩色的花来，亮了半边天，美丽极了!邻居们也纷纷放鞭炮，迎接新的一年的到来。

初一我们起了个大早，见到长辈就说：“新年好，恭喜发财!”然后长辈会给我们发一个大红包，还笑着说：“祝宝贝们身体健康、学习进步!”

“爆竹声中一岁除，春风送暖入屠苏，千门万户曈曈日，总把新桃换旧符。”我们一家人团团圆圆在一起过年是多么开心的事呀!春节真是一个喜气洋洋的节日啊!

腊月二十九的第一缕阳光照在我的脸上，我缓缓地睁开眼睛，看着窗外，心想：今天一定是个难忘的一天，今晚一定是个难忘的除夕夜!

早饭过后，我们一起回到了奶奶家。我和堂妹一起争先恐后地贴对联，贴窗花，打扫卫生，迎接新一年的到来。大约__点钟，我们一家开车去了一条集市去赶集。五花八门的小摊子摆放在马路的两旁，本来车水马龙的街道变得拥堵不堪。车道上人山人海，一眼望不到边。我一边逛一边看着我们身旁这些比人走的还慢的车，总是感觉很奇怪，但至于为什么奇怪，却又说不上来。最终，当我们满载而归，坐在车上时，我无意间听到了一声喇叭声。心中的疑团终于解开了。往常，在这么热闹的集市，汽车司机难免不耐烦，将自己烦躁的心情发泄到鸣笛上。可是这次，即使寸步难行，司机们为了少制造噪音，还是压住了心中烦闷的心情。我这才意识到，春节使人们都变得文明了。

“咚咚咚……”十二点的钟声已经敲响，此时此刻，已是一个新的开始。按惯例，这时应该到楼下放鞭炮了。可是，奶奶却一点动静都没有。我终于按捺不住了，就去问奶奶。奶奶慈祥地笑着对我说：“你听听现在外面放鞭炮的声音是不是比以前少了?”我一听，还真是。往年都是一个接一个，连续不断的，现在却只有断断续续的几声。“这是现在雾霾太严重了，人们都自觉了，都尽量少燃放烟花爆竹了。”我一听恍然大悟。之后的几天，从除夕到正月十五，燃放烟花爆竹的果然比以前少多了，还有孔明灯、花灯也没有再出现在我们的视线里，这一件又一件的文明事，给了我许多启发，也让我十分感动。

我想说：现在我们周围都有文明的踪迹。今年春节让我感到的，不仅是过年时一家团圆的欢乐，更多的是文明现象带给我的感动。尽管现在还有人开车时喜欢鸣笛，有人过年时常点烟花、放孔明灯，但如果每年都能少一些，每年都能改善一点，不文明现象总会离我们而去!

I have a good friend. Her name isSchoolBag. She is a very beautiful girl. Look! There is a picture on her face. Its a picture of a lovely girl. She wears a red coat. There are some books, some copybooks and a pencil case in her stomach. From Monday to Frid

ay, I go to school with her. She helps me a lot. And I like her very much.

Parents love is the most selfless and pure love in heaven. Birds do not fly, can only open his mouth to her mother to feed food, birds mother all the way for the birds to find food, but they could not bear to eat, this is called maternal love my mother is the same, she never stopped from my birth Love for me, when I was still toddler, not only can not share for the mother, but will only add endless trouble to her, such as: broken vases, playing a knife to hurt their own, and so often, mom Always distressed endless, but never any blame and blame. This is great maternal love. -

My mother gave me a lot of love, but sometimes I can not understand, or even misunderstanding ... ... Once, my mother let me do a few math problems, there is a question I puzzled, go to ask her mother, she told me Most of the day I still do not do, my mother was his head in his hand, secretly lost tears, although I did not cry out the sound, but the tears or a string of string down, I think: mother too do not understand Our childrens mind, and play is the childs nature, learning is secondary, why do you see so heavy mother? -

Another time, I made a dish, I think: Although children do not eat rice but the parents will say delicious. Can be a mother to eat a mouth to cover his mouth to the toilet, I asked her: "delicious?" "Not good!" Mother replied. The voice faded, I cried and said: "Why, other peoples mother to eat their own daughter to do the dishes, said delicious, but you said no good, I have no confidence." Mother listened to earnestly said: "If I want to make you happy and not tell the truth, you do not know the truth, become arrogant, so you not only can not progress, but will regress." I thought, or do not understand why my mother would think so, It is not the kind of person ah

中国的传统节日有很多，有盛大 隆重的春节，有象征丰收与团圆的中秋节，还有扫墓祭祖、踏青郊游的清明节……我最喜欢哪个传统节日呢?是端午节。

每年农历五月初五这一天，就是端午节，是中国四大传统节日之一。妈妈曾经给我讲过端午节的由来：一个名叫屈原的人，在战国时期不愿意随波逐流活着，到了公元前278年五月初五那天，他终于抱着一块石头，跳到汩罗江里自 杀了。附近的人知道了这个消息，都划着小船去救屈原，连屈原的影也没有。渔夫很难受，他将竹筒子里的米撒下去献给屈原。

每年的端午节到来之际，妈妈会给我或买或编一条五彩绳。就是拿上五颜六色的绳子，并列排在一起，搓成一根长绳，带上玉线，上面挂个小彩珠或小铃铛，一根漂亮的五彩绳就完成了。我高兴地把它戴在手上，左瞧右瞅，再甩甩手臂抖抖手腕，小彩珠或是小铃铛像快乐的小精灵，叮铃叮铃地跳跃着。

端午节里最盼望的还是吃粽子了。粽子是用翠绿的粽叶包成的。打开粽叶，里面是晶莹剔透的江米，吃一口，软糯而清香，散发着诱人的香气。每当端午节这一天，老娘总会拿出自己亲手包的粽子，让我们吃个够。

每年看着老娘包粽子，米宝宝呀，枣娃娃呀，在她的手里那么乖巧听话，感觉特别有趣我也忍不住想试试。“把米可要盛的满满的!一定要包紧裹好喽!”老娘一百个不放心地指点着，我一边听老娘说一边包。首先把两片粽叶卷成漏斗状，然后，盛上江米，再放上几颗红枣。有的时候我的手会不听话，也许是粽叶或是江米调皮，粽叶卷成的漏斗状的口总有小缝，米就撒的满地都是。勉强收拾好之后，用剩下一半的粽叶把米包住，用白色的线捆住，这样，一个粽子就包好了。老娘包的又快又漂亮，有棱有角，像是一个模子里刻出来的;我包的又慢又丑，东倒西歪，哈哈。不过俗话说得好，“劳动者光荣，劳动者最快乐。”

经过五六个小时的小火慢煮后，关火，焖至自然冷却，粽子出锅了。妈妈首先拿出一个，放在鼻尖，闭目深吸一口气，满足地说：“最爱端午节里妈妈的味道。”我呢，戴着五彩绳，吃着粽子，模仿着妈妈的样子，说道：“端午节里老娘的味道，我的最爱!”

多么有趣的端午节呀!

Different countries have different customs and different ways to celebrate festival. In our China, we have a variety of festivals, of which celebrating way is different. For example, we will eat mooncake in Mid-autumn Festival and have dragon boat races in the Dragon Boat Festival and eat zongzi. But in some extend, we celebrate all the festivals in the same way. Every family will have a big meal with their family. It is a time for family gathering. No matter what kind of celebrating way for a festival, it is the time to enjoy life.

不同的国家有不同的风俗习惯和不同的节日庆祝方式。在我们中国，我们有各种各样的节日，而庆祝它们的方式是不一样的。例如，我们会在中秋节吃月饼、在端午节赛龙舟、吃粽子。但从某种程度上说，我们都是以同样的方式来庆祝所有的节日。每家每户都会和家人一起吃大餐。这是属于家庭相聚的时间。无论用什么样的方式来庆祝，这都是享受生活的时刻。

“六十六个民族，六十六枝花，六十六个兄弟姐妹是一家，爱我中华……”这首歌时,我就会想到我们伟大的祖国是一个多民族国家,每个民族又有着不同的节日,在云南傣族,每年清明节后的第七天,是他们盛大的泼水节。

这一天清晨，傣族男女老少就穿上节日的盛装，挑着清水，先到佛寺浴佛，然后就开始互相泼水，互祝吉祥，幸福，健康。人们一边翩翩起舞，一边高声呼喊：“水!水!水!”锣鼓之声响彻云霄，祝福的水花到处飞溅，场面十分壮观。傣族人们认为，在节日里谁被泼的水最多，他得到的幸福也最多。

关于泼水节的来历，有这样生动的传说：很久以前，在傣族聚居的地区出现了一个残暴的魔王，他无恶不作，到处烧杀抢劫，抢夺妇女，弄得庄稼无收，人心不宁，民不聊生。人们受尽了他的残害，对他恨之入骨，可是谁也无法杀死他。

魔王已有6个妻子，可他仍不满足，又抢来一个美丽聪明的姑娘。这7个姑娘们看到自己的同胞过着悲惨的生活，决心找到消灭恶魔的办法。聪明的姑娘们心里恨透了魔王，可表面却不露声色，装着与魔王十分要好。一天夜里，魔王从外面抢回来许多财宝和奴仆，她趁魔王高兴不备时试探问清了用魔王头发可勒死魔王的秘密。于是，夜深人静，趁魔王睡着的时候，姑娘悄悄地拔下了魔王的一根头发，勒住魔王的脖子。顷刻间，魔王的头便滚在地下，可是头一着地，地上就燃起大火。眼看将酿成灾祸，姑娘们立即拾起头颅，大火就熄灭了。但是，魔王的头滚到哪里，哪里便发生灾难，抛到河里，河水泛滥成灾;埋在地下，到处臭气冲天，只有魔王的妻子抱着才平安无事。

为免除灾难祸害百姓，姑娘们便轮流抱着魔王的头，一人抱一天。天上一天，等于地上一年，每年姑娘们轮换的日子，即傣族的新年，傣族人民怀着对姑娘们敬佩的心情，给抱头的姑娘泼一次清水，以便冲去身上的血污和成年的疲惫，作为洗污净身的一种祝福。

后来，傣族人民为纪念这七位机智勇敢的妇女，就在每年的这一天互相泼水，从此形成了傣族辞旧迎新的盛大节日——泼水节。

Spring Festival was my favorite Chinese festival when I was a child. At

that time, I had a great time. Every year at that time I could dress new

clothes, get lucky money from relatives and seldom receive criticism from my

mother. Everything seems such wonderful. However, as I grow up, I find Spring

Festival is less and less interesting. I just feel that as usual. What’s worse,

with the fireworks, I find Spring Festival is a noisy festival. So I don’t like

it any more.
