我哥哥最喜欢放十二生肖冲天炮了，就是在天上现出十二生肖里任意一个动物的头像。有一次，我买了一个龙头像哥哥把鞭炮点燃后就跑，龙的嘴巴没有合拢，他露出了吃你的牙齿，想要吃了我们一样。我在这是被吓的胆战心惊，哥哥却笑得前仰后合。现在想起来我头有些害怕。

Spring Festival is the most important holiday for Chinese people. Excitement and happiness are palpable this time of the year， and they reach the peak on lunar new year‘s eve.

Though the 15-day period， which starts with the first day of the lunar new year and ends on the 15th day (known as Lantern Festival)， is relatively long， 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.Spring Festival， as it is celebrated today， has undergone many changes， thanks to the country‘s economic development and globalization.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Prepare for the Chinese New Year

Its about one and a half month away from the Chinese New Year, It is a festival celebrated by the Chinese people at the beginning of the lunar calendar year.

As of the Chinese traditional customs, our parents and grandparents will sweep every corner of the house and clean the windows until they gleam, and washing clothes, buying foods and goods for the new years future use and presents.

Children will be the most benefited group during this feast period. One month before that, they are expecting the new clothes, delicious foods. The firecrackers and the years allowance for their increased ages.

In recent years, with the rising of the standard of life, Chinese tend to make various holiday plans to spend a different and meaningful new year. Such as traveling abroad, or be absorbed in their hobbies, and even work.

Why today we try to spend our Chinese new year in such a different way? I think thats because this is a era of free life and personality high-ranking. Though there are still something traditional, our young generation is attempting to make something new and suitable for ourselves. And we would like to take something really worth to be cherished in our memorable treasures. Thats amazing and wonderful!

Ill always keep in mind that the Chinese new year is a great feast inherited from our ancestors, but if necessary, I would like to enjoy it by some ways personal.

一声声鞭炮声传来，我们大家日思夜想的春节，终于踏着那缓慢的步伐，来到了我们的身边。

早在农历十二月二十八，全家就忙开了?爷爷和叔叔出去买年货，爸爸出去买鞭炮，其他人则在家里帮奶奶准备一切事宜，每个人脸上都挂着笑容，每个人都喜气洋洋的，都为准备过春节出一份力。

在大年三十，鞭炮声从早上一直响到晚都没停过，直到晚上10点之后才渐渐稀疏下去。我们吃过早饭，家家户户都开始贴春联。

夜幕渐渐暗下来，不知是谁开的头，“嗖”地一声，突然冒出一柱烟花，“砰”地一声，在空中炸出了一个美丽的映记，霎时间，家家户户不约而同地燃起了烟花，“砰”“啪”，空中不停“开”出一朵朵美艳绝伦的“花”，看，这朵恰若流星雨，颗颗下落并拖出一条条绚目的星尾，那朵更似满天星，眨巴着小眼睛，不一会儿又不见了，更有其他五彩缤纷的烟花，将这才刚刚暗下来的夜幕刹那照的如同白昼。我们就在这美丽的夜幕下开始了三十晚上的团圆饭。

吃过晚饭，可就是孩子们最高兴的时候了，只要你的嘴巴甜一点，你就可以在这时大捞一笔：不时地找个亲戚，说上一两句祝福语，他们就会笑呵呵地从口袋里掏出红包，送给你当压岁钱。等到收齐红包后，再一边清点着自己的“家产”，一边兴奋地想着要如何花费这笔“巨资”。

晚上12点的钟声马上就要敲响了，所有人都在安静而又兴奋等待着这个美妙的时刻。5，4，3，2，1，“当”，新年的钟声敲响了，顿时，整个神州大地都沸腾了起来，人们都欢呼了起来，到处奔走，互相贺喜，鞭炮声响彻云霄，这一切的一切，都在诉说着同一句话：新的一年到了！

这就是我春节的一天，我觉得还这是过得既开心，又十分的有意义。我希望明年大家都还可以过的这样快乐和幸福！

Nian Gao:The northerners eat Jiao Zi, but southerners like to eat Nian Gao, which translates to "New Year Cake". In Chinese, Gao is a homonym for high. Nian Gao is also called Nian Nian Gao, which is a homonym for "higher each year", symbolizing progress and promotion at work and in daily life and improvement in life year by year.

Nian Gao is a sweet, sticky, brown cake made from rice flour and sugar, a kind of glutinous white cake in the shape of rectangle. Often given as a gift, it is delicious when steamed, fried, fried with eggs or even eaten cold.

Given the importance of food in Chinese culture, it is not surprising that food plays a major role in Chinese New Year celebrations. "Lucky" foods are served through the two week Chinese New Year celebration, also called the Spring festival.

春节里有许许多多有趣的事，其中我认为就是一家人在一起包饺子是最有趣的事了。

大家经常吃饺子，但自己亲手包饺子的是越来越少了吧！在春节的时候，我和我的家人们就会手工包饺子。原来看似简单的却也是需要深“功底”。

除夕夜那一晚，我们全家齐上阵，大家一起包饺子。妈妈和面，爸爸擀饺子皮儿，爷爷奶奶搅拌肉馅和包饺子。我和姐姐看着他们忙得热火朝天，忍不住上前凑热闹。我学着奶奶的样子把饺子皮儿放在手的中间，把肉馅放在边上，一卷一捏。不一会，奶奶和姐姐包了好几个了，我一个也没包好。妈妈笑着告诉我，包饺子要现在饺子皮周围沾一点水，肉馅放好后，一卷一捏，饺子皮儿就黏上了。我照着妈妈的话做了几次，总算会包饺子了。虽然很慢，饺子包出来也不好看，但妈妈还是很高兴，笑着说：“谁包的饺子谁吃呀！思思，你看你的饺子肚子最圆，只顾塞肉了吧，饺子皮儿都撑破了！”我也笑着说：“都别吃我包的饺子，我包的饺子肉最多，我故意的。”爷爷奶奶看见我和姐姐脸上的白面粉，又是一阵笑声。

包完饺子，我们都坐在客厅看“春晚”，妈妈忙着去煮饺子。不一会儿，热气腾腾的饺子端了上来，果然我包的饺子煮破了几个，肉馅都和饺子皮儿分离了。哈哈，我就净捡肉馅吃了。

吃着自己亲手包的饺子，和家人们坐在一起欢声笑语，这种感觉就是家的感觉，真温馨呀！我感到温暖和幸福！

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.

每年春节都有很多有趣的事情，比如，贴春联，放鞭炮，放烟火等。

春节一大早，我约好哥哥，姐姐来到一中操场上放爆竹，唱着快乐的歌。首先，我拿出一盒“骨老头”，又拿出打火机，把爆竹点燃，可是我一时昏了头，把打火机扔了出去，眼看手里的爆竹就要爆炸了，我赶快扔了手上的爆竹，去寻找打火机，但是我找遍了整个操场，打火机已不知去向，我看见哥哥和姐姐放炮的模样，心里就痒痒。

突然，爸爸从屋子里走出来，手里拿着一根点燃的香，我顿时想了起来，香也可以点爆竹，我高兴地接过香，但是，过了一会儿，我又进入了问号的旋涡，我还没用香点过爆竹呢！怎么办呢？ 我鼓起勇气，来到一个空荡荡的地方，把旁边的树枝、石头、砖块拿开，随时准备逃跑。我拿出爆竹，又用香点燃，用力甩了出去，但是它并没有飞出去，落在离我只有一英尺远的地方，我向远处奔跑，但是很不幸，才跑一步就摔倒了，我吓得魂飞魄散，但是它灭了，真是有惊无险。

于是，我开始练习扔小石头，“乒乒乒，乓乓乓！”我越来越熟练，在真正放爆竹的时候，果然扔了好远。

今年春节很有趣，因为我学会了放爆竹。

这天是大年二十九，人们都把家里打扫的干干净净，每家每户都在大门上贴上对联或挂上大红的中国结，小朋友们都开开心心地玩着。当然，我们家也这样。

早上，我六点就起床了，帮妈妈打扫卫生和整理东西，最后把家里打扫的干干净净，一尘不染。我和爸爸上街去买了一块漂亮的骏虎图扁，还买了一些我喜欢的烟花和炮仗。我们一回到家，就到了吃午饭的时间，我们吃好午饭又开始忙碌了起来，爸爸开始把买回来的扁挂上去，我帮忙爸爸拿工具，妈妈准备过年的东西，爷爷奶奶烧饭做菜，我们大家都忙的不可开交，不一会儿，就到了吃晚饭的时间，爷爷奶奶把做好的一盆盆热气腾腾的菜端出来，有鸡、有鸭、有鱼、有肉，也有许多的蔬菜，十分的丰盛。我们一大家子一边吃着晚饭，一边聊着天，爷爷奶奶在新的一年里对我提出了几个要求，爸爸妈妈也期望我在新的一年里，学习更加努力有进步。这时爷爷偷偷的把一个红包塞进了我的口袋，我心里有一股乐滋滋的感觉，我明白这是爷爷奶奶对我的鼓励，也是给我的一个惊喜。吃好年夜饭，我和爸爸一齐搬出了一个大大的烟花，准备开始燃放，爸爸点燃了烟花的导火线，只听见“啪、啪、啪、啪”的声音，一朵朵美丽的烟花在空中盛开，像一朵朵斑斓的玫瑰花，五光十色、瑰丽无比，在黑得有点神秘的夜空中瞬间展开，又迅速凋零。我们大家都异口同声的说：“好美啊!”

今年的这个春节过得太有好处了，我不仅仅大了一岁，还让我过的很快乐，这时，让我想起了王安石写的《元日》：爆竹声中一岁除，春风送暖入屠苏。千门万户瞳瞳日，总把新桃换旧符。

啊!这个春节我过的好快乐呀!

每年春节的时候，爸爸妈妈就会带着我回老家奶奶家，我是最高兴的了，因为老家有许多好玩的东西，而且还有我那只大公鸡，这可是我的心肝宝贝，那是去年的时候我跟奶奶在集市上买回来的。

这只大公鸡有红红的鸡冠，一身黄黄的羽毛，长长的腿，尖尖的嘴巴。但是它很调皮，天天跑到外面去，老害爷爷奶奶去抓。今天爸爸和妈妈就去抓它，爸爸和妈妈一会儿扑到这里，一会儿扑到那里，扑得一身灰。

后来爸爸扑过去抓到那大公鸡的羽毛，终于把大公鸡捉住了，然后把它放进大笼子里。真是太不容易了，我看着这只大公鸡，它仿佛还在炫耀它的威武，感觉自己很厉害，我冲着它办了一个鬼脸，走开了。真是一件挺有趣的事情。

盼望着，盼望着，春节的脚步越来越近了，我们又高兴地迎来了新年。

按照我们家乡的习俗，过年要贴春联、窗花，穿新衣，吃年夜饭……最重要的就是要拜神明，长辈还会给我们红包呢！所以过年对我们这些小孩子来说是非常有趣的！

除夕那天，我们全家人早早起床，大家都忙着拜神，很多亲戚都从远方来到家里团聚。到了下午四点多，我们拜完了，便和全家人热热闹闹的围在一起吃年夜饭，吃的可真饱啊!

按照往年的习惯，吃完年夜饭，我们全家人都会坐在电视前看春晚。但是今年除夕夜晚，表姐提出玩猜字谜游戏，我们全家人都举手赞成。尤其是我，猜谜题可是我的强项，我就双手双脚赞成，还差点摔了个四脚朝天。

游戏开始了，我们先猜拳，看看谁先出题。首先是表姐、老妈,接着是叔叔和爸爸，，然后就轮到婶婶，最后就轮到我了(爷爷。奶奶当观众)。首先由表姐出题：“春风吹又生，打一字。”过了几秒钟，”我知道，是‘茁’字!“我激动地说。”答对了，姐姐奖你10块钱。""为什么是‘茁’呀？“老妈疑惑地问。”因为呀，春天长出小草，‘茁’字上面是草字头，翻译出来就是小草长出来啊！”我一本正经地说。“我家孙女真聪明啊！”作为观众的奶奶笑眯眯地说道。听了这话，我得意地笑了起来。接下来轮到老妈出题了“残月孤灯，打一字！”这道题可就难倒我了，聪明的姐姐说出了正确答案。爸爸和叔叔出的题都太简单了，被我和姐姐秒杀了。

每年过年，我都会非常开心，尤其是今年，更是令我难忘！

树，风风雨雨地又转了一个年轮。花，娇娇滴滴地又开了一个周期。而我，开开心心地又过了一个学期，过了一年，长大了一岁。在这新年里，当然少不了逛花市了！往年逛花市只有自身的喜悦。但，今年，我又发现了一些平常看不到的东西。

远远的，便看见路牌上几个大字：宝安花市。走进门，心里掩饰不住的欣喜顿时涌出来。啊！今年来逛花市的人又多了。看着那些绚丽多彩的花朵，顿时，所有的疲劳，烦恼全消失不见了。花市里，人山人海，男女老少都有。大家又说又笑，一同欣赏着这些美丽的花儿。再看看他们，衣着鲜艳，图案精美，再加上人们满面的笑容，成了这热闹的花市一道亮丽的风景线！

一阵花香扑鼻而来，哦！原来是素洁清雅的水仙花，这时的它，开的出奇的美。远处一片桃红映入眼帘，哦，桃花，不禁让我想到，张志和的“西塞山前白鹭飞，桃花流水鳜鱼肥。”一旁的桔子树更是令人难忘。哦！其实每种植物都象征着不同意义，比如：桔子象征大吉大利，桃花是好运……我这么想着就被一阵争吵声打断了，原来是一位阿姨再为买花讲价啊！看着他们嘴巴忙得都停不下来，我突然扑哧一声笑出来，其实大家买花也就是对新年的一份期望，也就想把家里打扮地美些吧新年，新气象吧！而卖花的人们，也是想过年前多卖些花，回去与家人团聚罢了，又何必呢？

我置身在花海中，沉醉在花香中。啊！新一年又来临了，所有的东西都是崭新的。过去一年已经成为过去。我们又要在新的一年里，加油了！啊……

看看热闹的花市，美丽的花儿，这些和蔼又可爱的人们！这种幸福的氛围让我对新一年的对自己的挑战与困难更有信心了！新的一年……

发生在我身上的春节趣事有很多，不过最有趣的要算舞龙那一次了。

新年的下午，我和弟弟在老家客厅里看电视，我看舞龙非常好玩，我对弟弟说：“弟弟，不如我们也来舞一次龙好不好？”弟弟说：“好呀！好呀！”我先叫弟弟找来几块坏了的布，再叫他找来一根针和一些线，我再去找来了两棵锯成两半的坏竹子。材料找完了我们精心做着龙。龙做好了，我舞起了龙，我们用手拿着竹子，左边摇摇，右边摆摆，就像真的龙在飞似的，我叫弟弟把我轻轻的围起来，弟弟把我围了起来，可是我要走的时候，却忘了叫弟弟松开包围圈了。我就摔了一跤，弟弟在旁边一边笑，一边说我是大笨猪，我生气地说：“臭弟弟，看我怎么收拾你。”我们的闹腾声，几乎传遍了村庄，开心极了！

这条龙它没有头，身上还有一些洞，但是我依然很高兴，因为这是我亲手做的龙，我们还亲自体验了一次舞龙的乐趣。春节真有趣！

“噼里啪啦，噼里啪啦……”

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。又听到了鞭炮的声音，又想起了儿时的诗谣，爆竹声中我们又长大了一岁。

春节大概是小伙伴们最喜欢的节日了吧，到这时候亲朋好友们都放假了，大家都聚在一起聊天玩乐，讨论过去发生的种种趣事。而我觉得春节最有趣的就是除夕前贴春联了。

按我们那里的习俗，贴春联是在腊月二十九的下午。这一天的中午吃完饭后爸爸先用面粉做一些浆糊用来贴春联，和浆糊可是要讲究分量和火候的，这个不是我能够办的了的，所以只能够作壁上观。

和完浆糊后我便把春联都拿出来放到簸箕里和爸爸出去贴。以往在贴春联的时候都是爸爸爬上梯子，我在下面递上春联和浆糊，然后走远些看春联是否歪了，距离是否合适。那时候我处于好奇也想爬上去，但爸妈都生怕我摔着，所以我只能够在下面打下手。现在我长大了，爸爸却慢慢变老了，腿脚也已不如从前利索，担心的人又变成了我。所以现在变成我爬上梯子贴春联，爸爸在下面给我打下手。但爸爸却不走远去看我是否贴正当，爸爸只是紧紧的扶住梯子……这时我想到的是：爸爸并不在意春联是不是贴歪了，他只关心自己的孩子是不是安全。这种关心无论我是个孩童或是已经长大，他只会默默的流淌在爸爸的血液中，默默的看着我关心我……

春联贴到这里我已经不再在意贴春联的乐趣，只是默默的享受着爸爸的关爱所带来的温馨。我想春节的具体意义并不在于我们所做的有趣的事情，而是享受亲人们在一起的温馨！

过年可真快乐呀！我和表弟表妹玩得很开心，家人都团聚在一起，老人笑开了花。

我喜欢玩各种各样的烟花，烟花绽放在天空真是五彩缤纷，叫人眼花缭乱。给我留下深刻印象的是响炫花，因为它玩起来没有什么危险，我还给它起了个名叫“臭屁虫”因为点着后它在地上发出的声音像在打屁。还有冲天炮这个有点危险，我没有怎么玩，因为老师说不要玩危险的鞭炮，注意安全，所以我就只玩一些我可以玩的，其余的都要爸爸玩，我在旁边看。

过年真好啊！我喜欢过年，要是每天都是过年多好，哈哈。那是不可能的，那我就不能上学，学不到知识，我还是希望快点开学，这样就可以看见我的.老师和同学了，真想大家了。

中国的传统节日很多，有中秋节、端午节等等，让我最难忘的是春节。 There are many traditional Chinese festivals in China, including the Mid -Autumn Festival, Dragon Boat Festival, etc. The most memorable is the Spring Festival.

春节不仅是一个团圆的节日，也是一个喜庆的节日。春节里有许多好玩的风俗：贴对联、剪窗花、放鞭炮、吃团圆饭……每一样对于我们小孩子来说，都是一件快乐的事。我最喜欢的是吃年夜饭了。

每年的大年三十，爸爸妈妈很早就起床了。爸爸打电话给大姨、大伯等亲戚，请他们晚饭一起吃年夜饭。妈妈最忙碌了，从早上开始，就要准备晚饭要吃的菜。于是我们一家人都派上了用场，做了分工：爸爸负责杀鸡宰鸭，还有鱼等等;妈妈负责配菜，把晚上要烧的菜一样样都先洗好切好，做好准备工作;我也不闲着呢，我要把晚上用到的碗啊盘啊都洗得干干净净。经过半天的忙碌，准备工作全做好啦!

接下来就是妈妈大显身手的时候了。妈妈先把肉类的放到蒸锅里慢慢蒸着，放到煲锅里慢慢熬着，然后把各类炒菜一样样荤素搭配炒好，放到漂亮的盘里，就像一个大厨师一样。我和爸爸当起了小伙计，把菜一样样端到饭厅摆在桌子上，香喷喷的菜，看看就令人直流口水。

到了下午，丰盛的饭菜一样样都出锅啦!蒸笼里传出来的扑鼻的香气，几十米之外都能闻到呢，我数了数桌上的菜：有金灿灿的烤鸭，有香喷喷的蒸鸡，有红通通的大螃蟹大虾，有铺着小葱的八宝鱼，还有各色绿油油的蔬菜……看得我眼花缭乱!

伯伯阿姨们没进门就大叫：“好香啊!”我赶紧跑出去迎接，不一会儿，家人都来齐了。我们就开吃啦!我狼吞虎咽，恨不得长出两张嘴来吃这么多的美食，差点把自己的舌头都吞下去了。妈妈笑着提醒我说：“别急，慢慢吃!”爸爸和伯伯他们相互敬酒，妈妈不停地往表弟表妹的碗里夹菜。

我终于吃得肚子都圆滚滚了，就拉着姐姐、表姐她们去空地里放鞭炮。我点燃水炮，赶紧一下子扔得很远，只听得“啪”的一声，水炮不见了，炸开了只剩下一点小纸头。姐姐比我还胆小，只是远远地站着看。爸爸过来喊我们：“发压岁钱啦!”听到这儿，我们争先恐后地跑回房里，每个大人都给我们发了一个红包，祝我们学习进步，健康成长。我们拿了压岁钱，又赶紧跑出去继续玩耍。

大年夜真是一个快乐的晚上啊，我们玩得开心极了，大人也不会来干涉我们，玩得累了，我们还可以看春节晚会，还可以吃妈妈煮的美味的宵夜，还可以在12点钟的时候听整个城市热闹的鞭炮，看美丽的烟花。我真想每天都是大年夜!

The Spring Festival is the most solemn and most grand festival of the year. The Spring Festival, the streets and lanes, men and women, young and old face with a smile, enjoy the happiness of the festival.

The new year is to eat dumplings, I helped my mother wash the coins, then Zhaomaohuahu also together to wrap dumplings. All kinds of dumplings are like a treasure, carrying peoples longing for a good life. Steaming dumplings on the table at the end, the father ate the first, I didnt think the first coin, and then my brother, mom, the most fortunate, of course, I am! Our family is happy and laughable, tasting delicious food and talking about the happiest things of the day.

I like the Chinese new year, because I can eat dumplings in the new year, see the Spring Festival evening, and the most important thing to enjoy the fireworks is to share happiness with you. Its a good feeling for the New Year!

新年有很多好玩的，但我觉得擦炮还是最好玩的。一提擦炮，我便想起我第一次玩擦炮的时候，那年我五岁。

大年初一早上，我本能好好地睡上一个懒觉的，可是，我早已被爆竹的爆炸声给吵醒了，我慢慢地穿好衣服，到外面一看，发现哥哥正拿着一个小盒子，从里面拿一根像火柴棒的东西，是用黑纸包着的，哥哥把它在火柴皮上一擦，又向菜地里一扔，便开始冒烟。我心想：“不就是一个火柴嘛，有什么好玩的！”可刚准备转身，就听见“啪”的一声响，把我吓了一大跳，哥哥连忙说：“弟弟你别害怕，这是擦炮，很好玩的，你要不要玩？”我点点头答应了。

我从盒子里拿出一个擦炮，心里又高兴又害怕，我想“一定不能让哥哥小瞧我，豁出去了。”我闭上眼睛，把擦炮一擦，使劲一扔，便躲进屋子里了，一出来便听见哥哥那刺耳的笑声：“哈哈，胆小鬼一个！”我心里很不服气，便说：“老虎不发威，你当我是病猫啊！”于是我拿来一柱香，用香头点擦炮，只听见“咝”

的一声，擦炮被点着了，我一扔，它早了一会儿烟，便炸了，把哥哥吓了一大跳，我却高兴得不得了，因为我会放擦炮了。

这天我过得很充实，因为我克服了内心的恐惧。

The Lunar New Year is now popularly known as the Spring Festival because it starts from the Begining of Spring . Its origin is too old to be traced. Several explanations are hanging around. All agree, however, that the word Nian, which in modern Chinese solely means year , was originally the name of a monster beast that started to prey on people the night before the beginning of a new year.

One legend goes that the beast Nian had a very big mouth that would swallow a great many people with one bite. People were very scared. One day, an old man came to their rescue, offering to subdue Nian. To Nian he said, I hear say that you are very capable, but can you swallow the other beasts of prey on earth instead of people who are by no means of your worthy opponents? So, it did swallow many of the beasts of prey on earth that also harassed people and their domestic animals from time to time.

After that, the old man disappeared riding the beast Nian. He turned out to be an immortal god. Now that Nian is gone and other beasts of prey are also scared into forests, people begin to enjoy their peaceful life. Before the old man left, he had told people to put up red paper decorations on their windows and doors at each year s end to scare away Nian in case it sneaked back again, because red is the color the beast feared the most.

From then on, the tradition of observing the conquest of Nian is carried on from generation to generation. The term Guo Nian , which may mean Survive the Nian becomes today Celebrate the Year as the word guo in Chinese having both the meaning of pass-over and observe . The custom of putting up red paper and firing fire-crackers to scare away Nian should it have a chance to run loose is still around. However, people today have long forgotten why they are doing all this, except that they feel the color and the sound add to the excitement of the celebratio

My dog will be dead。 She is very old。 We have kept her for ten years。 Now her hairs are falling。 And she always lies on the ground。 She can’t see very clearly。

盼望着，盼望着，过年的脚步终于近了。

春节是中华民族的传统节日，炎黄子孙历来都很重视。离过年还有两、三天的时候，大家便开始紧锣密鼓地筹划、准备。

在生活节奏加快的时代里，亲人、朋友相聚一堂似乎已经很困难了。而过年正是天涯海角的游子与亲人团聚的大好时机，在外工作的友人也可以再次相聚。虽然我们体会不到游子的心情，但过年时亲朋好友聚在一起，却也让我们感觉其乐无穷。

作为一个15岁的小孩子，当然也爱玩了，平日里忙于学习，过年终于可以痛痛快快地放松一下了，不妨与你们分享一下我们的过年吧。

看晚会。除夕晚上刚吃完水饺，全家人便迫不及待地等待晚会的开始。尽管每年都有春晚，可每年都还是那样期待。每次都被小品、相声逗得捧腹大笑。时而陶醉于美妙的歌声中，时而惊叹于神奇的魔术……

放鞭炮。今年过年我们买了许多的鞭炮。大年三十，吃了年夜饭，我们便和爸爸一起去放鞭炮。只见爸爸点燃了一串喜炮，“噼里啪啦，噼里啪啦……”直响，我们连忙捂住耳朵，只见鞭炮在地上炸，有时还在空中飞炸。我们又拿来响炮，爸爸帮忙点了引线，我们把它对向天空，“嘭”第一发炮发出去了。只见它像火流星似的，发出巨响，随即坠落，消失在空中。这时，各家各户都出来了，“空战”变得激烈了。对面空中，突然出现了一个精密的，均匀的花状“伞冠”，那朵朵花瓣犹如白色钻石……我们接着又拿出一个七彩飞虹，点了引线，对准天空。只听见“嗖”的一声，一个圆珠冲出了细管，在天空中闪出一美丽的礼花。啊，好漂亮！它像炼钢铁时炉里迸出的火花，又像大海里鲸鱼喷出的水花，也像天空中的流星雨。

可是，我们万万没想到的是，午夜过后，烟火并没有结束，反而推向了高潮。一阵阵鞭炮声传入我们的耳边，随后又是礼花的声音……真漂亮呀！无数的礼花组成了一个个美丽的大花坛，在夜空下闪耀着明亮的光。突然，有一个烟花飞向天空，在一瞬间，炸开了，五光十色，像流星雨、像金色的大衣、甚至像太阳。把大地照的如同白昼一样。整个夜晚被五彩斑斓的礼花笼罩着，漂亮极了。一直到了深夜，我的确困了，才依依不舍地回家睡觉了。

多么困又美好的一天呀！
