中国文化发展英语作文(精品20篇)

中国剪纸(Chinese paper cutting)是一种镂空艺术和最为流行的汉族传统艺术，在视觉上给人以透空的感觉和艺术享受。其载体可以是纸张、金银箔、树皮、树叶、布、皮、革等片状材料。

2006年5月20日，剪纸艺术遗产经国务院批准列入第一批国家级非物质文化遗产名录。2009年9月28日至10月2日举行的联合国教科文组织保护非物质文化遗产政府间委员会第四次会议上，中国申报的中国剪纸项目入选"人类非物质文化遗产代表作名录" 。

剪纸这门艺术在北方广为流传，现在，剪纸更多的是用于装饰。剪纸可用于点缀墙壁、门窗、房柱、镜子、灯和灯笼等，也可为礼品作点缀之用，甚至剪纸本身也可作为礼物赠送他人。人们以前还常把剪纸作绣花和喷漆艺术的模型。

剪纸不是用机器而是由手工做成的，常用的方法有两种：剪刀剪和刀剪。顾名思义，剪刀剪是借助于剪刀，剪完后再把几张(一般不超过8张)剪纸粘贴起来，最后再用锋利的剪刀对图案进行加工。刀剪则是先把纸张折成数叠，放在由灰和动物脂肪组成的松软的混和体上，然后用小刀慢慢刻划。剪纸艺人一般是竖直握刀，根据一定的模型将纸加工成所要的图案。和剪刀相比，刀剪的一个优势就是一次可以加工成多个剪纸图案。在农村，剪纸通常是由妇女、姑娘们来做。

中国民间剪纸手工艺术，犹如一株常春藤，古老而长青，它特有的普及性、实用性、审美性成为了符合民众心理需要的象征意义。过去，这是每个女孩所必须掌握的手工艺术，并且还被人们来品评新娘的一个标准。而职业的剪纸艺人则常常是男人，因为只有男人才能在作坊里一起劳作并挣工钱。今天，有许多学艺术的人都将剪纸用各种方式表现出来，如:舞蹈《简化女》、《剪纸娃娃》等。相信，在大家的努力下，剪纸这象征着中国的工艺制作会被 发扬光大!

我对祖国秀丽的山河有一种神圣而不可侵犯的情感。尤其是那屹立在崇山峻岭之中、纵横交错、气势磅礴的万里长城。长城如巨龙般蜿蜒盘旋在崇山峻岭之间，若隐若现，举世无双的魅力无以伦比，深深牵动着我的心弦。

万里长城如一位德高望重的老人，在这片稀稀壤壤的土地站了几百年了吧?你让多少中外游人赞不绝口，将祖国美景尽收眼底。

登上去，闭上眼睛，呼吸着的古老气息，眼前浮出一幅悲壮的历史画面，中国被其它国家踩在脚下，受尽欺凌。可现如今，东方雄狮，你站起来了，就像这万里长城一般永久屹立于世界东方，沐浴着璀璨的阳光，蓬荜生辉。在长城内外群山之间的处，傲然挺立着许多烽火台，它们历经风雨，每一砖一瓦都姿态各异，各具特色。

“不到长城非好汉”，那陡峭忐忑的“好汉坡”在万里长城也颇有名气，是一道独具色彩的风景线。

再次凝望长城，我不禁浮想联翩，古人是多么伟大，他们当时在那么恶劣的环境下，持之以恒。烧出一块块石砖一点点砌成坚不可摧的城墙，可谓是贡献了青春美好时光，贡献了终身。我们要弘扬中华人民吃苦耐劳，艰苦奋斗的精神，还要将这种美德代代传承下去，将祖国各行各业建设得欣欣向荣，一步步迈向富强。

长城，你是中华民族的精神的象征。我为你骄傲、自豪。

汉字，是祖先留给我们的一笔辉煌的文化遗产，保护和开发这一宝藏，我们责无旁贷。它们是中华民族的代表，是中华民族的精髓，是中华民族的骄傲！

汉字使我们人类的文化得到延续，是它使得我们中华民族得以发展，它们各有独自的魅力。每个字都有自己的特点，当你写下一个个汉字时，仿佛身临其境。他们像一群变化多端的小精灵，时而轻于鸿毛时而重于泰山，时而飘若游丝时而娇若惊鸿。

汉字和别的国家的文字比起来拥有较为悠久的历史，从甲骨文到金文从隶书到楷书。

现在大多数人都在学英语，可那二十六个字母并不具有汉字所具有的感情。

汉字培育的中国古老的文化，不管这块东方的土地上有多少种不同的语言，但这汉字却论为了这群羊羔的领头羊，汉字的发展源远长流，每次每句都有一个动人的故事我们每天在汉字的海洋里遨游怎能让汉字文化的根基流失，损害？

汉字直接已经有4000年的历史，是世界上使用人口最多的汉字，别看它只是一个普普通通的方块字，组合在一起，就成为一个个不同含义的词组，一篇篇语句优美的文章，一首首抒发情感诗歌，一个个发人深省的故事。看着这些字就像一颗颗星星在纸上闪烁。

汉字书法是一门独特的艺术。古往今来，我国涌现出许多著名书法家王羲之，柳工权，颜真卿，等等这一个个汉字在他们的笔下更能发出无穷的魅力！呈现出不同的风韵，各种各样的书法字体有着不同的特点。

中国汉字是我们华夏民族几千年的瑰宝，也是我们终身的良师益友，每个人的精神家园。天地万物，只有语言文字是永远存在的，我们的汉字集形体声音和辞义三者于一体，它的独特魅力，是永远不可能改变，也是无可替代的。

汉字文化博大精深，歇后语，字谜，绕口令，等等等等。绕口令里用了汉字的读音来锻炼舌头的灵活度，所以我天天有事儿没事儿就不由自主的说起绕口令来。

汉字是我们生活中不可缺少的一部分，瞧！街头的广告牌上，眼前的书上，到处都有汉字的足迹。读书，写作，文化，语言说没有汉字这一切，从何谈起？

汉字的悠久历史，每前进一步都凝结着中华民族的心血，汉字是中华民族是龙的传人凝聚的核心！

现在社会已经进入科技化，只要用电脑，无论什么字都能打出来，不用花大力气去学习汉字，汉子已经落后，而我认为汉字是人类从古代流传至今的无价之宝，是中华民族独有的书法瑰宝，抛弃汉字，就等于把汉字拥有2000多年历史，生命给扼杀掉。

所以，我们应该让汉字流传下去，而不是让汉字文化失传。

中华美德，人人皆知，"孔融让梨"等典故无不体现了中华民族五千年以来至高无上的美德，更说明了中华民族是一个文化之都。但是中华美德在今天，仿佛早已被人们忘却，人们对它不管不问，正所谓：此道今人弃如土。

每个国家都有自己独特的传统文化，我们国家也不例外。而中华美德正是所有文化中独一无二的瑰宝，我们都是中国人，自然要理所当然地继承我们祖先给予我们的一笔丰厚的礼物，就像我们是中国人，就要说中国话一样，和谐的社会需要中华美德来构建，来填充这个空虚的世界，否则我们的生活就会变得枯燥无味，这正是中华美德给予我们的，一颗中国心。

想想这句名言吧：忘记过去就等于背叛。如果你真的对中华美德弃而不管，你就等于背叛了中华民族的祖先，虽然这是一个愈发进步的社会，但是不是因为进步了，就可以把中华美德像扔垃圾一样遗弃呢?然后再去盲目地追求外国文化，而自己家乡的文化却遭到冷漠呢?那么，你到底还是不是龙的传人，还是不是一条地地道道的中国龙?如果是的话，你又怎能甘心，做一只外国驴呢?

啊!让我们保持一颗纯正的中国心吧，并且是一颗有着中华美德的中国心!要永远记住，你是个中国人，要学习中国文化，中国美德!

雷锋叔叔永远值得我们崇敬，因为他身上有许多我们所没有的中华美德。中华美德人人都可以拥有，关键是看你想不想拥有，团结同学你就拥有了中华美德;谦虚好学你就拥有了中华美德;为爸爸妈妈洗一次脚你也拥有了中华美德......中华美德就在细微之处，只有你用心去做了才能发现它。

"弘扬中华美德，构建和谐社会"，势在必行。这是保护中国文化的一次行动，让我们保护好那一颗中国心，不要让它日积月累没有了往日的风采!请不要只展望未来而忘记过去，过去也有许多值得我们学习，回味的地方!

在甘肃省敦煌境内鸣沙山1600多米长的陡崖上，密密层层地建造了700多个洞窟，这就是举世闻名的莫高窟，俗称“千佛洞”。它是由建筑、绘画、彩塑组成的博大精深的综合艺术殿堂，是敦煌艺术的发源地。

敦煌莫高窟保存着2000多尊彩塑。这些彩塑个性鲜明，神态各异。有慈眉善目的菩萨，有威风凛凛的天王，有强壮勇猛的力士，还有一尊长达16米的卧佛。那尊卧佛侧身卧着，眼睛微闭，神态安详。这一尊尊惟妙惟肖的彩塑，让我们不得不赞叹古代艺术工匠高超的技艺。

敦煌石窟艺术中数量最多、内容最丰富的部分是壁画，西方学者称其是“墙壁上的图书馆”，具有很高的艺术价值。这些壁画画在洞窟的四面墙壁上、佛龛内，壁画的内容丰富多彩，其中最引人注目的是那成百上千的飞天。你看那些飞天仪态万方，多么美啊！有的臂挎花篮，采摘鲜花；有的怀抱琵琶，轻拨琴弦；有的彩带飘飞，漫天遨游；有的闭目凝视，侧耳倾听……飞天是由印度文化、西域文化、中原文化共同孕育而成的，是多种文化的复合体。如今，飞天已成为敦煌莫高窟的名片，成为敦煌艺术的标志。

敦煌莫高窟与山西大同云冈石窟、河南洛阳龙门石窟、甘肃天水麦积山石窟并称为“中国四大石窟”。它是我国也是世界上现存规模最宏大、历史最长久、内容最丰富、保存最完好的佛教和石窟艺术宝库。1987年敦煌莫高窟被列入《世界文化遗产名录》，它真是我们中国人的骄傲！

作文点评：小作者的行文结构非常清晰，而且详略得当，先对敦煌莫高窟的地理位置和概况进行了简单的介绍，然后重点介绍了它的彩塑和飞天壁画，最后介绍了它的历史地位。另外，对卧佛和飞天壁画的描写生动、形象。

中国传统文化，博大精深，渊源流长。今天，我给大家介绍一下围棋吧！她代表了东方思维，是中国智慧的体现。黑白两色代表了白天和黑夜，阴和阳，棋盘有三百六十一个交叉点，代表了一年的时间，下棋的时候就像打仗一样。中国历史上有许多名人都喜欢下围棋_曹操。陈毅。邓小平……

围棋还可以使人变聪明，据说围棋是一个叫“尧”的人为了教育他的儿子“丹朱”而发明的。

我爸爸非常喜欢下围棋，他经常教我下围棋。我想我也会喜欢上围棋的经常教我下围棋。我想我也会喜欢上围棋的。

今天，我们的研学队伍来到莫高窟，七月的大西北，太阳一出来，戈壁滩如同火炉，人们不敢在太阳底下多呆一秒钟。但这是不能阻挡我的热情的，老实说，走进莫高窟，是我向往已久的愿望。

原来，出于保护的需要，莫高窟内是没有任何照明设备的，黑暗、清凉、气味重。因为事先有老师的介绍，我们了解到了莫高窟的历史价值与文化价值，知道一些关于它多难的历史，所以，走进窟内，大家表情严肃，无人说笑打闹。

在解说员手电筒灯光的照射下，石窟里的景象逐渐清晰。那一处处壁画，生动形象、栩栩如生，着实令人眼前一亮。窟内一般由塑像和壁画组成，伏羲、女娲、雷神、飞天……这些只在书中看到的神话人物，在壁画上屡屡出现。在导游的介绍下，我才知道，壁画也好，雕塑也要，他们有许多都是在讲述着一则则佛家故事，非常生动形象。我想，用这种方式传递佛教是很能激起人兴趣的。

记忆最深的是关于佛祖的雕塑。佛祖的神色第一眼给人带来的是惊悚，但看久了后，便能体会到那神色中实则包含着的是佛门的慈悲。石窟中见到最多的是七个佛像，它们的排位也都相同，佛祖释迦摩尼居中，它的佛像最大，雕刻得也最为精细，但令我印象最为深刻的是佛祖像的左侧那尊佛像，释迦摩尼的大弟子苦行僧，他的裸露出的肌肤似乎真的历经了千磨万难，皮包骨瘦，那根根肋骨都能清晰的瞧见，深邃的目光中透露出他对前方艰险磨难的坚定与无所畏惧，我不禁为这群古代艺术家们的高超技艺折服。

这些雕塑美中不足便是有些部位缺损了，后来我才知道，它们有的是因自然原因，但更多的是人为造成的，到底是为什么呢?

这时讲解员向我们解答了。原来，这莫高窟中的许多经文、壁画、雕塑都已流落异国了，当时中国正处于纷乱状态，那时的政事怎有精力来看管这处东方的卢浮宫呢。

半天的时间很短，但让我领略了中华文化的历史悠久，艺术博大精深;也让我认识到了文化艺术繁荣的背后，一定有一个强大的社会支撑。

今天老师布置了一个作文题目——写一篇关于物质文化遗产的作文，我脑子马上浮现出了气势宏伟的长城，历史悠久的颐和园，河南洛阳的龙门石窟等，但作为一个土生土长的临潼人，秦始皇兵马俑，我还是了解比较多一些，他气势宏伟、规模巨大，世界八大奇迹之一，吸引了大量中外游客。

兵马俑有三个坑，先说1号坑吧，坑长230米，宽62米，面积14，260平方米，展示了兵马俑8000多种形态，我站在坑上面尽量近距离观察兵马俑，他们个个神态端庄，表情各异，有的凝视远方，像是打完仗后，一定要回家乡与亲人团聚;有的紧握双拳，像是一定要为秦国统一天下;有的怒发冲冠，像是一定要为战死的兄弟报仇血恨。其中一个将军俑眼睛瞪得大大的，嘴巴撅得像个半圆，双手合在一起好像讨论进攻的方案，我拿出望远镜，仿佛看见了雄才大略的秦始皇正指挥着千军万马，在进行统一全国的伟大事业。

2号坑呈曲尺形，位于1号坑的东北侧和三号坑的东侧，东西长96米，南北宽24米，面积6000平方米，兵种特别齐全，是三个坑中最为壮观的军阵。他有骑兵战车和步兵组成的多种特殊部队，2号坑有陶俑躺满1300多件，战马80余辆，做工非常精致，就像其中一个将军，从侧面往下看，一缕缕头发，一根根眉毛，一片片指甲都能看得一清二楚。

3号坑平面呈凹字型，面积约520平方米。从3号坑的布局看，这儿应该为总指挥部。统帅左右中三军，只是没有建成而已。

古代人民凭着自己的智慧，没有任何机械，创造了这项令人震惊的宏伟的巨大工程。

欢迎大家都来临潼参观兵马俑，了解伟大的秦始皇，感受那远古的历史，让历史照进现实，让临潼走向世界!我为自己生长在这感到自豪!

There is no doubt that traffic congestion becomes a growing worry for the residents of most urban areas. Some major roads are regularly choked with traffic in rush hours. The limited transport capacity contributes largely to the vexing problem. How to solve the headache?

The existing solutions to traffic jam mainly aims at creating metro bus systems and broadening major roads. Widening the existing roads can solve traffic snarls on some level.

毫无疑问，交通堵塞成为大多数城市居民日益担心的问题。一些主要道路在交通高峰时经常堵塞。有限的运输能力在很大程度上造成了令人烦恼的问题。如何解决头痛?

现有的交通堵塞解决方案主要是建立地铁公交系统和拓宽主要道路。拓宽现有道路，可以在一定程度上解决交通挤塞。飞涨的汽车拥有权构成了长期困扰的问题，所以我们必须大幅减少对汽车的依赖，推动大众运输的发展。这是一个便宜又好的方法。我们可以建立一个系统的定制巴士路线，并突出发展的地铁，手推车和轻轨。这些解决方案的有效结合将使城市地区拥有顺畅的交通。

【模板】

Dear editor,

I know on your school English newspaper that the readers are expected to have a discussion on the topic of protecting Traditional Chinese Culture. The protection of national and folk culture is of great significance to Chinese cultural diversity and also to the harmonious social development. I have a strong desire to share my personal viewpoints on it.

In my opinion, some measures should be taken to protect traditional culture effectively. To begin with, we should make a law to regulate the society’s performance. What’s more, we should draw more people’s attention to it, for the more they know about the importance of culture protection, the stronger support we can get from the public.

In a word, it is high time for us to treasure and develop our own valuable culture.

中华民族是一个拥有悠久历史和丰富文化的泱泱大国。 中华民族拥有五千年的文明历史，自古就被誉为“礼仪之邦”，中华美德——礼仪的历史也源远流长。从孔融让梨、程门立雪到雷锋的感人事迹，再到今天的21世纪，礼仪体现在我们每个人的身上，在家里给父母长辈夹菜、在公交车上给老人让座，礼仪就像一朵美丽的鲜花，盛开在社会的各个角落，弘扬中华美德——礼仪。

今天我们作为一个中学生，也应该注重礼仪，见到长辈老师要问好;碰到同学、朋友要点头微笑;得到别人帮助时，要说声谢谢学会感恩;不小心伤害到别人时要说声对不起，这些都是最基本的礼仪。可是就仅仅这些又有多少人做到了呢?作为一名合格的中学生和新世纪的小主人，我们不仅仅应该做到懂礼仪，行礼仪，还应该向社会呼吁，弘扬中华美德——礼仪。

古人曰：“老吾老以及人之老，幼吾幼以及人之幼。”这说的是什么呢?用我们现代话来说就是尊老爱幼。既要尊重，关爱老人，又要爱护幼小儿童。在家里要多关心帮助弟弟妹妹，尊重关爱爷爷奶奶多帮他们做一些家务。在社会上，多帮助那些空巢老人，陪他们聊聊天，给他们带来温暖和关爱。

在路上看到小朋友摔跤主动扶他们一把，这些微小不值一提的举动的举动却体现出中华传统美德——礼仪。

说到尊老爱幼，我们不得不提到“孝”，我们先看看这个“孝”字怎么写，“老”在上，“子”在下，从这个字形上我们就可以体会到古人造这个字的意图就是要孝敬长辈《最美孝心少年》最能体现“孝”这个字，他们的父母或是残疾或是有病，但他们对父母不离不弃，用小小的肩膀担起了一家的重任，他们用行动传承了中华美德——孝。

作为新时代的少年，我们担任着传承中华美德的重任，发扬中华传统，让中华美德源远流长!

每年农历的第一天，就是春节，可它是怎么来的呢？

传说很久很久以前，有一个叫“年”的怪物，每到农历的第一天，它就会下山把山下人们的猪、羊、牛这些动物统统吃掉，有时会吃几个人。而且人们为了躲避“年”还要逃到一座山上去呢！有一次一位老爷爷来到人们住的地方，说他能打败“年”，人们叫他多加小心，然后就爬到山上去了。

老爷爷睡了一觉后，“年”就来了，但老爷爷并不害怕，而是穿了一套红衣，在离房子有点远的地方放了几个饭团，然后用竹子燃起了火。“年”看到饭团后很好奇，就拿了个尝，可是饭团太黏，把“年”的嘴巴都粘上了，“年”只能垂头丧气地回去了。它突然听到烧竹子的声音，因为它非常害怕那声音，就大惊失色的逃跑了。

人们回来了，他们看到老爷爷还安然无恙，很好奇，就问他经过，老爷爷把经过告诉了人们，人们听了很高兴，就兴高采烈的开了一场联欢会，“过新年”就这样产生了。后来人们把那一天叫“春节”

过春节真是中华民族传统文化内容之一啊！

上下五千年，中国一路风尘仆仆走来，脚下踏的是深厚的文化底蕴。但在今天，一提及中国传统礼仪，大多数人并没有什么清晰概念，甚至认为这种传统礼仪人化是过时的东西。因此，中国礼仪文化正在遭受着史无前例的以往与不屑。

中华民族传统礼仪文化是中国人民几千年来处理人际关系的实践结晶，是人与人之间行为规范的准则传承中华传统文化作文6篇。

杨时与他的学友游酢为求的正确答案一起去老师家请教。时值隆冬，天寒地冻，来到程家时，适逢先生坐在路旁打坐养神，杨时二人不敢惊动老师，就恭恭敬敬立在门外，等候先生醒来，过来良久，程一觉醒来，从窗口发现侍立在风雪中的杨时，只见她遍身披雪。脚下雪已有一尺多后了。此后，“程门立雪”的故事就成了尊师重道的千古美谈。

礼仪是律己，进人是一种规范，是表现了对他人的尊重。古人云“不学礼，无以立”文明礼仪不仅是个人素质、教养的体现，也是个人道德和社会公德的体现。

东汉黄香仅仅九岁，就懂得尊老爱幼，孝顺父母。在冬天严寒之时，就用自己的身体将父母的被子温暖后，再请父母安寝;在夏日炎热之际，则用扇子给父母扇凉驱蚊，以侍奉父母安寝。黄香温席是在中国传统孝之礼仪，孝顺父母，从小事做起。

近百年来，由于种种原因，一些优秀的伦理道德遭到不同程度的破坏。如今的人们已经有了较之过去更为雄厚的经济基础来孝敬老人，心已经没了，孝敬父母不是有心无力，而是有力无心。

唐朝贞观年间，西城回纶国是大唐的藩国，一次，回纶国为了表示对大唐的友好，派使者带一批珍宝见唐王，其中最珍贵的是白天鹅。途中，白天鹅不谨飞走，使者只拔下几根鹅毛，却没能抓住白天鹅，使者在担心害怕之余吧鹅毛献给了唐太宗，唐代宗并没有怪罪他，反而觉得他忠诚老实，不辱使命，从此，“千里送鹅毛，礼轻情意重”的故事干为流传开来。

中国传统礼仪，应是体现精神价值的生活方式，传录它可以使我们的礼仪化发扬光大。

传统礼仪毕竟是中国传续了几千年的血脉，若血脉堵塞，中国只能被称为是一个现代国，而不能称其为中国了。中国传统礼仪文化博大精深，它足以使国人和海外人引来容耀和自豪，它是中华民族重要的凝聚力，没有它，国人将迷失自我;没有它，中国便只剩下一个空壳。

纵观古今中外各国发展，世上没有一个民族失否定自身传统礼仪的，没有任何一个民族会认为自己的优秀的传统礼仪是过时的，有害的。而传来中国传统礼仪文化。是每个华夏儿女的责任，只有这样，我们才能无愧地大声说：“我是中国人!”

When the founder of Facebook, Mark Zuckerbergs daughter was born, he

announced a general decision and surprised the world. Mark told media that he

would donate 99 percent of his fortune to the charity organizations. Some people

wonder why he did not save the heritage for his offspring. In fact, in western

countries, for some rich people, they dont trend to leave much fortune for

their kids, instead, they use the money to educate their children and cultivate

them to be the wise persons. The rich people leave the invisible fortune, which

is their fame. Their children can have more chances to do their business or

receive better education with their family names. The wise rich men know the

best way to educate their offspring. They teach skills and the way of thinking,

which values everything.

The difference between chinese and western culture

With the rapidly challging word, people throughout the world have found it increasingly necessary to minimize the rate of misunderstanding due to miscommunication in their contacts with another. In the oast most human beings were born, lived, and died within a limited geoographical area, never encountering people of other cultural backgrounds. It might be said that technological advances have been most effective in creating the borderless word, the global community. As our world shrinks and its inhabitants become interdependent, people from remot cultures increasingly come into contact on a daily basis. It is no longer hard to find situations in which membes of ince isolared groups of people. Now these people may live thousands of miles away or right next door to each other. So all the people are faced with the challenge of understand this world. So when the east meet west, there are many problems. Some problems are listed as follows.

First of all, the way of eating. All huaman beings have certain basic needs. Our fundamental needs for things that keep us alive. This is the physioligical need. All individuals must eat in order to survive. But what people eat, when they eat, and the manners in which they eat are all patterned by culture. No society views everything in its environment that is edible and might provide nurishment as food. Americans eat oysters but not snail. The French eat snails but not locusts. The Jews eat fish but not pork. The Hindus eat pork but not beef. The Russiand eat beef but not snake. We all have ideas about what kinds of food are good to eat. We also have ideas about what kinds of food are bad to eat. As a result, people from one culture often think the food that people from another culture eat are disgusting or nauseating. Dislike is not the only reason why some culture will not eat a certain food. In some clture, certain foods are taboo. Sometimes the food taboos may be so strong thrat just the thought of eating forbidden foods can cause an indivdual to feel ill. We can also find culture difference in way of bring up children treating the early, greeting each other, saying and spending money before other people do in everyday, but in some English-speaking countries, people do not agree with us. We chinese may enjoy something that is not usually consider as edible by the English-speaking people. Generally we perfer to have thing hot and much emphasis on the taste. We eat from one plate when we are eating with others, and we like to seat one by one, and in the shape of a round. On the opposite, some English-speaking contries, most of the people like to seat in two rows, two people face to face. They have their own plate. On the aspect of table manners, there are many differences between chinese and English-speaking people. For example, in some Englishi-speaking countries, Bread plates are to the left of the main plate, beverage glasses are to the right. Salad fork, knife and soup spoon are further from the

main plate than the main course knife, fork and spoon. When eating bread rolls, break off a piece before buttering. Use the knife only to butter the bread, not to cut it. They should not start eating before your host does or instructs to do so. At larger meals, it is considered okay to start eating once others have been served. When finished, place the knife and fork together at five o’clock with the fork on the left. It is considered rude to answer the telephone at the table. If need to take an urgent call, excuse self and go outside. Try to eat all the food you are served. But in China, the table manners are different. Chinese traditionally eat rice from a small bowl held in the left hand. The rice bowl is raised to the mouth and the rice pushed into the mouth using the chopsticks. Some Chinese find it offensive to scoop rice from the bowl using a spoon. If rice is served on a plate, as is more common in the West, it is acceptable and more practical to eat it with a fork or spoon. The thumb must always be above the edge of the bowl. The host should always make sure the guests drinks are sufficiently full. One should not pour for ones self, but should offer to pour for a neighbor. When your drink is being poured, you should say "thank you" and tap fingers on the table to show appreciation. When people wish to clink drinks together in the form of a cheer, it is important to observe that younger members should clink the edge of their drink below the edge of an elder to show respect.

Secondly, the way of communication. Form birth to death, communication plays an integral part in our life. There are some language problems, including the different styles of using language such as direct, indirect; expansive, succinct; argumentative, conciliatory; instrumental, harmonnizing; and so on. These different styles can lead to wrong interpretations of intent and evaluation of insincerity, aggreeiveness, deviousness, or arrogance, among other. The misinterpretation nonverbal signs and symbols such as gestures, postures, and other body movements. It is a definite communication barrier. But it is possible to learn the meanings of these observable message,usually in informal rather ways. It is more difficult to understand the less obvious unspoken codes of the other cultures. Language, as the carrier of culture, is created during the process of human beings’ productive labor and serves as the tool of communication to convey the message between people. However, it has been endowed with magic and power in particular language acts. As the old saying goes, troubles come out of the tongue. Superstitious people think that the language itself can bring about fortune or misfortune so that taboos to restrict the use of language are created. Anyone who violates them will get punishment, whereas those who faithfully obey the restrictions of language taboo will get protection. Furthermore, linguistic taboos change with the development of society .The paper firstly analyzes the evolution of linguistic taboo. It is indicated in the paper that linguistic taboo exists in almost every aspect of people’s life and is a universal social phenomenon in China and Britain. Both Chinese and

English cultures are in agreement about linguistic taboos such as pronunciation taboo, and vocabulary taboo. However, influenced by different cultural backgrounds, ideologies and the concepts of value, Chinese and English linguistic taboos also have differences, as is discussed in the paper from the aspects of taboo subjects, taboo numbers and names. At last, this paper puts forward two effective ways of avoiding taboo, that is, using euphemism and having a good knowledge of the taboo culture. And this discussion would help English learners improve their ability of cross-cultural communication and achieve better communicational effects. For example, During the feudal times, people were not equal to the rulers and were suppressed by their superiors. The distinction between the upper and the lower classes was also reflected in the evaluation of the language used by them respectively. The words of upper class used were considered good and elegant while those used by the lower class were regarded as vulgar and indecent and should be avoided in the speech of ladies and gentlemen. In modern society, as a result of the development of science and technology, many natural phenomena are no longer mysterious. Human beings not only constantly improve their abilities to exploit the world where they are living through their great wisdom and knowledge, but also make efforts to explore the extraterrestrial world. Science has much more say in today’s society. Thereby, the superstitious elements in linguistic taboos decrease while those reflecting spiritual civilization increase.

In short, by comparison, we can find that both Chinese and English communication reflect people’s psychology for good will, for safety and fortune and pleasantness. The Chinese and English people restrict their words and deeds through taboos, trying to keep a harmonious relationship between human and nature, or between people and society. They are a reflection of people’s pursuit of freedom and equality.

The most important, the different way of family structure, family values and family education. Family structure is the big difference between east and west, traditional chinese, amony many other Asians, repect their elders and feel a deep sense of duty toward them. Children repay their parents` sacrifices by being successful and supporting them in old age. This is accepted as a natural part of life in China. In contrast, taking care of aged parents is often viewed as a tremendous burden in the English-speaking countries, where aging and family support are not honored highly. In some English-speaking countries are still extrmely family-oriented. They are dedicated to helping their children and will sacrifice greatly for their children to get an edcuation. In turn, the children are devoted to their parents, who often live nearby. Grown children who go away and leave the country for the economic reasons typically send large parts of their salary home to their parents and the rest of the family. Or in some Asia, any decisions or actions are done from family consideration, not individual desires. Peope`s behavior is judged on whether it

brings shame or pride to the family. The children are trained to rely on their families, to honor elderly people, and to fear foreigners. And many of them think that their actions in this life will influence their status in the next life.

The way of family edcation is also the different. We all know the family education is the elementary education for children. Many serious problems have appeared in our education system in recent years. Almost everyone has realized the importance of solving these problems and many people have presented a lot of valuable suggestions. There are many types of family education in the world and each of them shows distinctive features and is closely responsive to its culture. And American family education is the most famous one among them. There are great differences in the concepts of education, methods of education and results of education between East family education and West family education. In some English-speaking countries, parents’ aims are to train their children to have the ability of adapting to environmental variety and the ability of living independently. Based on this concept, most American parents emphasize more to train their children’s ability of independence once they are born. They generally believe that children’s growth must rely on their own experiences, because they think that children should form a self-supporting will and the capacity to live independently since their childhood. And the capacity comes from the training in the early age. The so-called training contains many aspects, such as work, temper will, patience, the spirit of hard work, etc. However, the most fundamental training is the ability of adapting to hard conditions. Through the process of work, children will form the labor sense, learn some work skills and form a habit of labor. Besides, children can learn how to overcome difficulties, temper their willpower, develop their talents and skills, rich their knowledge, and form a habit of hard work and thrifty by working in hard conditions. It is just in the unconsciously process that children will obtain the independent survivability and take the responsibilities for the society. Compared with some English-speaking countries, Chinese parents have a very different concept of children’s education. Some parents in China only care about whether the children have a promising future, a good job, a good life or not. Based on these expectations, the majority of parents feel that their responsibility for their children is to create as good conditions as possible they can so that the children will not worry about anything in the future. Chinese parents would like to provide everything what they can for their children in the process of children’s growth. In short, they would like to sacrifice anything if their children can live better with their help. Therefore, in the process of children’s growth, the most important thing the parents concerning is to developing their children’s intellect, except for caring children’s daily life. In order to make their children have a good performance in study, become outstanding, or even become a famous person in the future, they would not let children do anything except studying. As for the children’s independence, civic awareness and their ability adapting to the

society in the future, they consider little or not at all. From these aspects we can find the obvious differences of family education between America and China.

When we faced with those difference between West and East, we should give some advice to solve these problems. According to the three big difference that pointed, we should find some way to deal with these problems.

We can study other languages and learn to expect in nonvwebal forms and other cultural aspects. We can train ourselves to meet intercultural encounters with more attention to situation details. We can use an investigative approach rather than stereotypes and preconceptions. We can gradually expose ourselves to differences so that they become less threatening. We can even learn to lower our tension level when needed to advoid triggering defensive reactions. The overall goal should be to achieve intercultural communication competence.

So the ideal solution to reduce the problems are to share knowledge with others in communication. This is why it is easiest to communicate with other members of the same group. This is why people so often gather together socially with others who are very much like them. Since intercultural communication is communication with members of different cultual groups, and therefore, because we do not share knowledge, assumptions, values, and forms of discourse with them, we must expect there to be problems of interpretation. We must look for these problems, anticipate where they will arise out of our differences, and then plan our aommunications to be as effective as possible.

However, we have to remember that, most of the time, the different ways that are the customs of dfferent cultures are neither right nor wrong. It is simply that different people do the same tings in different manners, even though we can not understand ,we should show the respect. I believe this is the best way to make our life become more comfortable and make the world more harmonious.

传统文化是民族内在的灵魂和血脉，是民族的身份证明，是维系国家统一和民族团结的精神纽带，是中华儿女和睦相处，携手发展的共同精神家园。是民族凝聚力和创造力的重要源泉。是中华民族生生不息的不竭动力。

中国之所以成为世界上最早的几大古国之一，绝无仅有的延续至今的国家，一个重要的原因就是中华文化具有顽强的生命玉内在的活力。中国丰富多彩，浩瀚广博的传统文化我们每个人可以更深的体会到。我的家乡就是一个到处洋溢充满了民族风情的地方。让我们对家乡一往情深。记得，自己最盼望的春节的到来，每年除夕夜，都会贴春联(汉族)，放鞭炮。为了驱邪恶，求吉利还要包饺子，煮饺子。饺子煮的多，必须有余，意在余头。饺子里头包有钱、糖块、枣、豆腐等。吃到枣，意味着新的一年能早起干活、勤劳致富;吃到豆腐，意味着新的一年大富大贵;吃到糖块，就能生活甜蜜;吃到钱，就能发财。当然还有包辣椒面、花椒粉之类的，只是图热闹，无恶意。年夜饭不仅丰盛，而且必须有鱼，可取年年有余(鱼)。

特别值得一提的是，晚辈向长辈拜年时，长辈要给压岁钱。从那一刻起，就意味着新年新气象，人们奋斗的新希望。节逢端阳倍思亲，又是一个传统佳节，端午要包粽子，门前插柳枝，戴香包等习俗。虽说，端午的娱乐随人们生活水平的提高、生活节奏的加快而被人慢慢遗忘。但遗忘不了的是留在童年的端阳记忆。最让人值得深人了解的是宗教信仰的文化，比如回族的男女服饰，男的要戴着白顶帽到寺里礼拜，女的要戴着盖头，都体现了本民族的人对真主的是至高至大的尊敬。清真寺是礼拜的场所，是告承伊斯兰教教义的圣地。还有黄教圣地塔尔寺，更是近十几年来国内外旅游的一大景点。它不仅是一座佛教寺，也是凝聚了佛教文化的精华，成为世人了解藏传佛教的圣地。里面有塔尔寺艺术三绝——田花、壁画、唐卡。

因此，正因为有这些传统的文化奠定了文化大国的基石，所以我们更应该去弘扬与继承，而不是渐忘它的流失。朋友们，当你沉浸在情人节的玫瑰花香时，当你操着满口的洋话庆祝“洋节”时，当你们陶醉于“亚当夏娃”的飘逸浪漫时，请关掉轰鸣的音响，坐在阳台前的月光下静静的思考吧!思考有着五千年历史的祖国已沉淀了为世人所惊叹的武术文化瑰宝——文字、节日、礼仪、服饰、饮食等文化。它们如同天山上奔腾的清流，如同森林间孕育的珍宝，灿烂夺目，博大精深。我们对盛世中国的成就感到骄傲，但也不应忘记母亲饱经创伤，还应注意因经济利益的驱动，思想光年的异化而导致的文化传统的缺失。我们光明伟大的党，在领导全国人民创造新时代的征途上，远见卓识的制定了积极有效的文化政策。

在实施一系列民生工程的同时，发出保护性发掘传统文化的号召，以继承文化弘扬传统，我们家乡政府因地制宜，打造“八瓣莲花”品牌。开发群加原始森林公园，道教名山南朔山，昆仑神话之源——凤凰山。上五庄水峡等旅游景点。使家乡的文化传统走出家乡、走向世界。我们应在继承和弘扬民间文化的同时，汲取外来文化的精华。来丰厚我们的文化底蕴。留给后人一片文化的净土，留住我们民间文化的根。关注乡土文化、传承地方文明。

今天，我读了妈妈给我买的《世界文化与自然遗产》。这是一本充满知识的书。在这本书里，我学到了很多在学校里学不到的知识。现在，我就给同学们介绍一下我们中国的文化遗产吧。

同学们你们知道世界上规模最大，保存最完整的帝王宫殿是哪座宫殿吗？那就是我国的故宫。故宫是明清两代的宫殿，共有24位皇帝在此登基即位。由于故宫里收藏着大量的珍贵文物，所以改名为故宫博物院。

故宫的三大殿是太和殿、中和殿和保和殿。太和殿俗称“金銮宝殿”，是故宫等级最高的宫殿。在太和殿中举行的仪式都非常高级，例如皇帝登基、节日庆典等。中和殿是皇帝去太和殿前小憩或演习礼仪的宫殿。保和殿是举行殿试和宴会的地方。

介绍完了故宫，那大家对人间仙境黄山了解的又有多少？黄山以“三奇四绝”的奇异风采名冠于世。天都峰、莲花峰、光明顶是黄山的三大主峰，素称“三奇”。怪石、奇松、云海、温泉素称黄山“四绝”。黄山的名松有迎客松、送客松、蒲团松、凤凰松、棋盘松等。迎客松是黄山第一名松。到黄山未看迎客松，等于未游黄山。由此可看出，迎客松的名气有多大！

书里的知识可真不少。我要认真阅读这本书，把学到的知识讲给同学们听。

颐和园位于北京市西北郊，占地约290公顷，是我国现存规模、保存最完整的皇家园林，被誉为“皇家园林博物馆”。颐和园素以人工建筑与自然山水巧妙结合的造园手法著称于世，1998年被列入《世界文化遗产名录》。

颐和园的建筑风格融合了是中国各地建筑风格的精华。东部的宫殿区和内廷区是典型的北方四合院风格，南部的湖泊区是典型杭州西湖风格，万寿山的北面是典型的西藏喇嘛庙宇风格，北部的苏州街是典型的水乡风格。

颐和园最的景点当属长廊了。长廊位于万寿山南麓，面向昆仑湖，长700多米，是中国古典园林中最长的游廊。长廊分为273间，每一间的横槛上都有五彩的画，画着人物、花草、风景，几千幅画中没有哪两幅是相同的.。

我们都知道圆明园被英法联军烧毁，但你可能不知道如今开放的颐和园也曾多次遭到破坏。清漪园于1860年被英法联军焚毁，1888年重建，改称为颐和园，用作消夏游乐地。1900年颐和园又不幸遭到“八国联军”的破坏，1902年大体修复。之后，颐和园又多次遭毁坏，多次被修复，它就如同一位饱经沧桑的.老人，见证了它所在时期下中国的成长。

现在，我们在感受颐和园独特魅力的同时，更应该好好保护它!

暑假我参观了位于陕西临潼的世界第八大奇迹——秦始皇陵兵马俑。

我们随着参观的人群走进了皇陵大门，啊，这个博物馆好大呀!与很多间展厅。其中一座规模宏大的圆顶建筑最引人注目。我迫不及待地拉着妈妈走了进去，立刻被眼前的景象惊呆了，象一个足球场那么大的坑里站满了排的、整整齐齐的泥塑“武士”，一个一个跟真人一般大小，仿佛是一群生龙活虎的士兵，正站在那里列队操练。你看他们穿战袍，套铠甲，蹬战靴，有的象拿着长矛，有的象拿着利剑，有的象持着盾牌。我仔细看着这些“武士”，发现他们每个人的姿势、发型和表情全都不一样。有的圆睁双目，有的紧闭双唇，神态严肃，栩栩如生，好像是在等候与敌人决战。还有很多弓箭手，一手拉弓，一手搭箭，就等敌人一到他们万箭齐发。坑内还有很多骑士，他们牵着马，挎着刀，正准备上马出征。侧耳倾听，仿佛听到了金戈铁马的厮杀声……此时，我有一种说不出的激动，不由惊叹道：“太神奇了”。

听了讲解员的介绍，我知道“兵马俑”是古代君王——秦始皇的殉葬品。由工匠们用陶土做成战车、战马、士兵连同帝王一同埋入地下陪葬。经过几千年后，被人们发现。但是并没有我们现在看到的这么完整，而是由一片片破碎的瓦片精心修复后，才将一个个栩栩如生的兵马俑呈现在世人面前，向后人展示了秦帝国的强大和统一六国的雄心。

参观了“兵马俑”这一世界奇观后，我为我们中华民族的灿烂文明感到骄傲。

颐和园是一座大型天然山水园，被誉为皇家园林博物馆。它原是清朝皇帝的行宫和花园，前身清漪园。1860年清漪园被英法联军焚毁。1888年慈禧太后下旨重建，改称颐和园，作为夏季避暑游玩的地方。

下面我给大家介绍一下颐和园内给我留下深刻印象的景点。入园后，我们首先来乐寿堂。乐寿堂前有两只威风凛凛的石狮，一只脚踏绣球，是雄狮;另一只亲切地爱抚着一只小狮子，是雌狮。庭院内陈列着铜鹿、铜鹤和铜花瓶，取意为“天和太平”。

昆明湖是颐和园的主要湖泊，似一块硕大的明镜，更像一颗巨大的蓝宝石。知春亭就位于昆明湖东岸边，亭畔遍植杨柳，湖内遍布红荷，春来景色极美。据说，“知春”二字源于宋诗句“春江水暖鸭先知”，更为巧妙的是，亭堤的形状酷似一只鸭子，令人不得不叹服古代能工巧匠的慧思。

长廊，位于万寿山南，面向昆明湖，如彩带般把各景点紧紧连接起来。它全长728米，共273间，是中国园林中最长的游廊。廊上每根枋梁上都有彩绘，有山水，有花鸟，还有人物典故等。据传慈禧每年都有一大半的时间在这里“颐养天年”。长廊内彩绘的中国古典名著《红楼梦》、《西游记》、《三国演义》、《水浒传》是她闲时常听的故事。那一天，我和哥哥漫步长廊，听导游对着一幅幅精美的彩绘，讲解一个个经典的故事，有三顾茅庐、张飞战马超、张良奇遇……果真是游玩的好去处!
