导读：新年快到了，长辈又要准备红包了，英语作文压岁钱该怎么写？

篇一：压岁钱Lucky money

The spring festival is the loveliest in China， which is comes in February. Everyone loves it so much that prepare lots of things of the spring festival before it comes. In the spring festival holiday， people do many things， such as eat the dinner on the New Year‘s， set off fireworks, stroll the famous fair likes “Baiyunguan” fair.

二月份时候的春节在中国是最可爱的节日。每个人都非常喜欢它，所以在春节到来之前就准备了很东西。在春节期间，人们会做许多事情，比如，在新年吃晚餐，放烟火，拜访著名的庙宇，就像“白云观“。

On the first day of lunar， the young generation congratulates the old generation with “Happy New Year!”

阳历的第一天，年轻的一代人会向老一代人祝贺“新年快乐”

Then the old generation will give the young some lucky money which wrapped with red paper or red envelope. Because red is a color with joyful. Lucky money means the old generation‘s love to the young and hope them can have a good luck in this new year. This is the lucky money which lots of the young want.

老一代人会把压岁钱用红纸或者红包包起来给年轻的一代人。因为红色是开心的象征。压岁钱意味着老一代对年轻一代的爱，而且希望他们能在新的一年里拥有好的运气。这就是大多数年轻人都想要的压岁钱。

篇二：Kids, How Would You Deal With Your “Lucky Money”?

Kids would be overexcited during Spring Festival, for the simple reason that they would receive “lucky money”from their parents as well as other elderships.

According to ancient custom, the elder generations put a certain number of money in a red envelope, and give it to the children of the family, wishing that the children would grow up healthily and happily.

How to reasonably deal with those “lucky money”is a serious question for parents and children alike. As far as I am concerned, two ways below are worth to be considered. One sensible way is to save the money for higher education. With the development of economic and urbanization, the competition is becoming more and fiercer. The demand of people with high degree is increasing, which means, the threshold for a “white-collar”job is higher and higher. Therefore, accepted into a college is viewed as a necessary and an initial step for a good job. Given the increasing cost of college education and postgraduate education, saving the “lucky money”is at least an economic guarantees for higher education. The other way is investing, and by investing I do not mean buy stocks or bonds, but investing in self-improvement. For example, purchasing some books, literature, politic, philosophy, whatever you like.

As Bacon said, “reading makes a full man”, investing in books you are interested in would expand your knowledge and improve your attainment. However, not only books could attribute to self-improvement, art and sports or other skills could also do. Invest some money to learn piano, guitar, etc.; or to learn dancing, swimming, tennis…Or just to learn how to drive is a worthwhile acquirement. All in all, you could name other good ways to use“lucky money” of course, as long as it is worthwhile, and saving for education and investing in self-improvement are definitely among them.

I like the Chinese new year better than any other festival. This is a time especially for rest and joy. I need not study. I wear good clothes and eat good food. I have a good time from morning till night. I am as happy as a king.

我喜欢中国新年比喜欢其它任何节日更甚。这是一个专为休息和欢乐的时间。我不需要读书。我穿好衣服，吃好东西。我每天从早到晚日子过得轻松愉快。我和上帝一样快乐。

“啊，过年了，过年了！”李想大吼着，我也跟着起哄：“过年了，今天可要高高兴兴地玩一天。”同时心里又想着：“嘻嘻嘻嘻，终于又要得压岁钱了，这次一定赚翻，呵呵呵。”我在那里乐着，李想像老鼠一样，轻手轻脚的走到我身边，拍一下我的肩膀，“啊”的大吼一声，把我的魂都吓飞了，李想却说：“你乐什么，走，我们到楼下玩去。”

我们高高兴兴的玩了一上午，好容易等来了晚上，我和李想，姐姐不约而同的跑出家门，来到了小区的院子里。我和李想一见，立刻来了一个热烈的拥抱，可是，姐姐一见，却在旁边大吐舌头，惹得我俩怒目圆睁。经过了这戏剧性的场面之后，大家伙们都兴高采烈地玩了起来。

或许一些人等不及了，还没到九点钟就开始放礼花，响声震耳欲聋。我们才不管呢，拿着手花在小区里乱舞，一个接一个，成了小区里一道靓丽的风景。我们大家蹦呀、跳呀，玩得可开心了。李想还做了一件大坏事，那就是拿着手花吓唬我，我怕惹火烧身，急忙连连后退。可还是被石头一绊，全身弄得脏兮兮的，真是气死我了，她们却还笑翻天，真是可恶！后来，我和李想捡来两根空礼花棒，变着戏法玩起来。李想突发奇想，向我提了一个建议：“我俩来‘开战’，用礼花棒作武器，但不能伤人……。”李想一说完，我俩便开始了“世纪之战”，我一棒打过去，李想一挡，我的棒子变成了双截棍。李想趁我不注意，灵机一动，从我后面打了我一下，然后跑到我前面，趁我往后面看时，又打了我一下，我立刻回击，打到了李想的头，我俩玩得兴起，忽视了姐姐，她气得跑上楼去。

我和李想费了九牛二虎之力也没把她拉下来，真够重量级的。我想：“如果她再长肥一点，应该有够资格去参加胖妞选美赛了。”终于，在我俩的软磨硬泡下，姐姐答应和我们一起下去，结果走到半路又一溜烟没影儿了。

天色已晚，我和李想告别，上楼和爸爸、妈妈一起等待虎年的到来。伴随着新年钟声的敲响，天空即刻被焰火染成了美丽的画布，五彩缤纷，真是美丽极了。火树银花交织在一起，把我们的生活装点得更加美丽，愿我们的明天更美好。

"Oh, the new year, the New Year!" Li Xiang shouted, I also followed the booing: "the Chinese new year, today will happily play a day." At the same time, thinking again: "hee hee hee, finally have to have to pay the age of money, this time make sure to turn over, ha ha ha." I am happy with where Li Xiang like mice, cautiously without any noise came up to me, patted me on the shoulder, "ah" roared, my soul is scared to fly, Li Xiang said: "what, you go downstairs to play our music."

We played happily all morning, and it was easy to wait for the evening. Li Xiang and I ran out of the house with my sister and came to the yard of the district. Li Xiang and I saw, and immediately to a warm embrace, but my sister saw, but big tongue beside, provoked me two glaring eyes. After the dramatic scene, all of the people were playing with joy.

Maybe some people cant wait, and they dont start to put fireworks at nine oclock, and the noise is deafening. We do not care, take the start of flowers in the community dances, one after another, became a beautiful scenery in the community. We all jumped and jumped, and we had a good time. Li Xiang also has done a bad thing, that is to take the flowers to scare me, Im afraid backfired, hurried back again and again. Can still be a stumbling stone, all dirty, really mad at me, but they still smile over the days, really hateful! Later, Li Xiang and I picked up two empty fireworks and played with the tricks. Li Xiang whim, made a suggestion to me: "I have a" war ", with fireworks stick as a weapon, but not hurt......." Li Xiang says, we began a "battle of the century", I was in the past, Li Xiang a block, I stick into the nunchaku. Li Xiang hit me on the back while I was not paying attention and brainstorm, and then ran to me. When I looked back, he hit me again. I immediately returned the blow and hit Li Xiangs head. We both rose and ignored our sister, and she ran upstairs with anger.

Li Xiang and I spent a tremendous effort didnt pull her down, so heavy. I think: "if she should have a little fat, fat enough to attend the pageant qualification." Finally, in the US under my sister promised to join us on the halfway and swiftly disappear.

It was late. I said goodbye to Li Xiang and went upstairs with my father and mother to wait for the year of the tiger. With the sound of the new years bell, the sky was instantly stained with fireworks and beautifully painted canvases. It was beautiful and beautiful. Fireworks are intertwined, our life more beautiful, we wish a better tomorrow.

My Spring Festival Spring Festival with you, I am back to my hometown of henan RuNa, put a lot of all kinds of guns, a large paper gun, the flying ray, flying rockets, mine and so on.

One day, I took a 30 cm high, a large diameter 20 cm, white paper gun in the snow, its power is greater than the small hand grenades, I use the lighter lit the fire, and then I quickly ran into the house, 1, 2, 3, boom, as if the earth were to vibrate, I ran to see, have a big snow hole, larger than I had imagined. We also carried a throw of the mine into the water, a big splash soar when power is endless, blown fly up with the ice surface, appear on the surface of the spectacular sights, a lot of black smoke from the water.

春节习俗英语作文- 用英语介绍春节习俗：

Chinese New Year or Spring Festival is the most important of the traditional Chinese holidays. It is sometimes called the "Lunar New Year" by English speakers. The festival traditionally begins on the first day of the first month (Chinese: 正月; pinyin: zhēng yuè) in the Chinese calendar and ends on the 15th; this day is called Lantern Festival. Chinese New Years Eve is known as chú xī. It literally means "Year-pass Eve".

Chinese New Year is the longest and most important festivity in the Lunar Calendar. The origin of Chinese New Year is itself centuries old and gains significance because of several myths and traditions. Ancient Chinese New Year is a reflection on how the people behaved and what they believed in the most.

Celebrated in areas with large populations of ethnic Chinese, Chinese New Year is considered a major holiday for the Chinese and has had influence on the new year celebrations of its geographic neighbors, as well as cultures with whom the Chinese have had extensive interaction. These include Koreans (Seollal), Tibetans and Bhutanese (Losar), Mongolians (Tsagaan Sar), Vietnamese (T?t), and formerly the Japanese before 1873 (Oshogatsu). Outside of Mainland China, Hong Kong, Macau, and Taiwan, Chinese New Year is also celebrated in countries with significant Han Chinese populations, such as Singapore, Indonesia, Laos, Malaysia, the Philippines, and Thailand. In countries such as Australia, Canada and the United States, although Chinese New Year is not an official holiday, many ethnic Chinese hold large celebrations and Australia Post, Canada Post, and the US Postal Service issues New Years themed stamps.

Within China, regional customs and traditions concerning the celebration of the Chinese new year vary widely. People will pour out their money to buy presents, decoration, material, food, and clothing. It is also the tradition that every family thoroughly cleans the house to sweep away any ill-fortune in hopes to make way for good incoming luck. Windows and doors will be decorated

with red colour paper-cuts and couplets with popular themes of “happiness”, “wealth”, and “longevity”. On the Eve of Chinese New Year, supper is a feast with families. Food will include such items as pigs, ducks, chicken and sweet delicacies. The family will end the night with firecrackers. Early the next morning, children will greet their parents by wishing them a healthy and happy new year, and receive money in red paper envelopes. The Chinese New Year tradition is a great way to reconcile forgetting all grudges, and sincerely wish peace and happiness for everyone.

Although the Chinese calendar traditionally does not use continuously numbered years, outside China its years are often numbered from the reign of Huangdi. But at least three different years numbered 1 are now used by various scholars, making the year 2009 "Chinese Year" 4707, 4706, or 4646.

春节习俗英语作文- 用英语介绍春节习俗：春节正月习俗的英文介绍

The Chinese New Year celebrations are marked by visits to kin, relatives and friends, a practice known as "new-year visits" (Chinese: 拜年; pinyin: bài nián). New clothes are usually worn to signify a new year. The colour red is liberally used in all decorations. Red packets are given to juniors and children by the married and elders. See Symbolism below for more explanation.

春节习俗英语作文- 用英语介绍春节习俗：Preceding days 春节前

This article does not cite any references or sources.

Please help improve this article by adding citations to reliable sources. Unsourced material may be challenged and removed. (January 2010)

On the days before the New Year celebration Chinese families give their home a thorough cleaning. There is a Cantonese saying "Wash away the dirt on ninyabaat" (年廿八，洗邋遢), but the practice is not usually restricted on ninyabaat (年廿八, the 28th day of month 12). It is believed the cleaning sweeps away the bad luck of the preceding year and makes their homes ready for good luck. Brooms and dust pans are put away on the first day so that luck cannot be swept away. Some people give their homes, doors and window-frames a new coat of red paint. homes are often decorated with paper cutouts of Chinese auspicious phrases and couplets. Purchasing new clothing, shoes, and receiving a hair-cut also symbolize a fresh start.

In many households where Buddhism or Taoism is prevalent, home altars and statues are cleaned thoroughly, and altars that were adorned with decorations from the previous year are also taken down and burned a week before the new year starts, and replaced with new decorations. Taoists (and Buddhists to a lesser extent) will also "send gods" (送神), an example would be burning a paper effigy of Zao Jun the Kitchen God, the recorder of family functions. This is done so that the Kitchen God can report to the Jade Emperor of the family households transgressions and good

deeds. Families often offer sweet foods (such as candy) in order to "bribe" the deities into reporting good things about the family.

The biggest event of any Chinese New Years Eve is the dinner every family will have. A dish consisting of fish will appear on the tables of Chinese families. It is for display for the New Years Eve dinner. This meal is comparable to Christmas dinner in the West. In northern China, it is customary to make dumplings (jiaozi 饺子) after dinner and have it around midnight. Dumplings symbolize wealth because their shape is like a Chinese tael. By contrast, in the South, it is customary to make a new year cake (Niangao, 年糕) after dinner and send pieces of it as gifts to relatives and friends in the coming days of the new year. Niangao literally means increasingly prosperous year in year out. After the dinner, some families go to local temples, hours before the new year begins to pray for a prosperous new year by lighting the first incense of the year; however in modern practice, many households hold parties and even hold a countdown to the new lunar year. Beginning in the 1980s, the CCTV New Years Gala was broadcast four hours before the start of the New Year.

春节习俗英语作文- 用英语介绍春节习俗：First day 初一

The first day is for the welcoming of the deities of the heavens and earth, officially beginning at midnight. Many people, especially Buddhists, abstain from meat consumption on the first day because it is believed that this will ensure longevity for them. Some consider lighting fires and using knives to be bad luck on New Years Day, so all food to be consumed is cooked the day before. For Buddhists, the first day is also the birthday of Maitreya Bodhisattva (better known as the more familiar Budai Luohan), the Buddha-to-be. People also abstain from killing animals.

Most importantly, the first day of Chinese New Year is a time when families visit the oldest and most senior members of their extended family, usually their parents, grandparents or great-grandparents.

Some families may invite a lion dance troupe as a symbolic ritual to usher in the Lunar New Year as well as to evict bad spirits from the premises. Members of the family who are married also give red packets containing cash to junior members of the family, mostly children and teenagers.

While fireworks and firecrackers are traditionally very popular, some regions have banned them due to concerns over fire hazards, which have resulted in increased number of fires around New Years and challenged municipal fire departments work capacity. For this reason, various city governments (e.g., Hong Kong, and Beijing, for a number of years) issued bans over fireworks and

firecrackers in certain premises of the city. As a substitute, large-scale fireworks have been launched by governments in cities like Hong Kong to offer citizens the experience.

春节习俗英语作文- 用英语介绍春节习俗：Second day 初二

The second day of the Chinese New Year is for married daughters to visit their birth parents. Traditionally, daughters who have been married may not have the opportunity to visit their birth

families frequently.

On the second day, the Chinese pray to their ancestors as well as to all the gods. They are extra kind to dogs and feed them well as it is believed that the second day is the birthday of all dogs.

Business people of the Cantonese dialect group will hold a Hoi Nin prayer to start their business on the 2nd day of Chinese New Year. The prayer is done to pray that they will be blessed with good luck and prosperity in their business for the year.

春节习俗英语作文- 用英语介绍春节习俗：Third and fourth days 初三

The third and fourth day of the Chinese New Year are generally accepted as inappropriate days to visit relatives and friends due to the following schools of thought. People may subscribe to one or both thoughts.

A brief Introduction of the Chinese Spring Festival

The Chinese Spring Festival comes on the first day of the Chinese Lunar Year, which is usually in February. There is a name for each year, such as the dog, the monkey, the tiger or one of the twelve animals, and this year is the year of the pig.

Before the New Year’s Day, the Chinese people usually give their houses a good cleaning and on the last evening of the old year, all the members of a family will get together and have a big meal. On the first or second day of the new year, people usually go to visit their relatives and friends and give some lucky money to children.

I wish you have a good time during the Spring Festival.

[高中优秀英语作文：《春节》

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。

In china if you invite people for meal, the person who invited other people would pay for the meal but it’s not the way in Western country. In western country people will think you only invited me but it’s not your responsibility to pay for me.

I can afford it. They won’t be happy if you pay for them. People in China would always put dishes into customer’s plate to show their hospitality, but they will think it’s not healthy because your chopsticks have been used by you. In western country like America not England, people will always give tips to waiter after they finished meal in a restaurant.

If you don’t they will not be happy because tips are one of their major income. In china this only happen in some top restaurants and hotels in large international cities like Beijing, Shanghai and Guangzhou. Western people will also think you are rude if you make sound during the meal. Western people do not hold their bowl up even when they have a bowl of soup.

Every year, Spring Festival makes me happy, because I can spend a long

holiday to stay with my families. On the New Year’s Eve, all the families got

together. We woke up early in the morning and then my mother started to purchase

some food to prepare the big dinner. I helped my mother to bring the food.

Before dinner, there was a tradition in my hometown. We needed to bring the

chicken to take a bow to our ancestors, showing our respect and gratitude. When

the dinner’s ready, we ate happily and talked a lot. Then at night, the families

pasted the New Year’s scrolls and decorated the house. What a harmonious

environment and we enjoyed the family hour. In the next few days, I visited a

lot of relatives. It was a good chance for us to communicate with each

other.

The Spring Festival, the most jubilant and important festival in China, is observed by most Chinese people at home and abroad. Our hometown is not an exception.

Similar with other places in china, we prepare for the festival about half a month before. With the lunar New Year approaching, the red lanterns are hung up along the main streets, making the ancient town filled with the festival atmosphere. While people clean up their houses, decorate it with traditional decorations such as Chinese knots and paper cutting. Each family pastes up Spring Festival couplets to convey their best wishes for the coming year.
