+ 加入清单There are many different beliefs about the origin of the Lantern Festival.
But one thing for sure is that it had something to do with celebrating and
cultivating positive relationship between people, families, nature and the
higher beings they believed were responsible for bringing/returning the light
each year.
One legend tells us that it was a time to worship Taiyi, the God of Heaven
in ancient times. The belief was that the God of Heaven controlled the destiny
of the human world. He had sixteen dragons at his beck and call and he decided
when to inflict drought, storms, famine or pestilence upon human beings.
Beginning with Qinshihuang, the first emperor to unite the country, all the
emperors ordered splendid ceremonies each year. The emperor would ask Taiyi to
bring favorable weather and good health to him and his people. Emperor Wudi of
the Han Dynasty directed special attention to this event. In 104 BC, he
proclaimed it as one of the most important celebrations and the ceremony would
last throughout the night. They clean it all up in the morning.
Another legend associates the Lantern Festival with Taoism. Tianguan is the
Taoist god responsible for good fortune. His birthday falls on the 15th day of
the first lunar month. It is said that Tianguan likes all types of
entertainment, so followers prepare various kinds of activities during which
they pray for good fortune.
Yet another common legend dealing with the origins of the Lantern Festival
speaks of a beautiful bird that flew down to earth from heaven, which was hunted
and killed by some villagers. This angered the Jade Emperor in Heaven because
the bird was his favorite one. Therefore, he planned a storm of fire to destroy
the village on the 15th lunar day. The Jade Emperors daughter heard of this
plan, and warned the villagers of her father’s plan to destroy their village.
The village was in turmoil because nobody knew how should they escape their
imminent destruction.
However, a wise man from another village suggested that every family should
hang red lanterns around their houses, set up bonfires on the streets, and
explode firecrackers on the 14th, 15th, and 16th lunar days. This would give the
village the appearance of being on fire to the Jade Emperor. On the 15th lunar
day, troops sent down from heaven whose mission was to destroy the village saw
that the village was already ablaze, and returned to heaven to report to the
Jade Emperor. Satisfied, the Jade Emperor decided not to burn down the village.
From that day on, people celebrate the anniversary on the 15th lunar day every
year by carrying red lanterns on the streets and exploding firecrackers and
fireworks.
There are many stories on how this festival was created. One other story is
about a maid. In the Han Dynasty, Mr. Eastern was a favorite advisor of the
emperor. One winter day, he went to the garden and heard a little girl crying
and getting ready to jump into a well to commit suicide. Mr. Eastern stopped her
and asked why. She said she was a maid in the emperors palace and her name was
Yuan-Xiao.
She never had the chance to meet her family after she started worked at the
palace. She missed them so much every 12th lunar month. If she couldnt have the
chance to show her filial piety in this life, she would rather die. Mr. Eastern
promised her to find a way so she could reunion with her family. Mr. Eastern
left the palace and set up a fortune-telling stall on the street and disguised
himself as a fortuneteller. Because of his reputation, many people asked for
their fortunes.
But every one got the same prediction - a severe fire accident on the 15th
lunar day. The rumor spread quickly. Everyone was worried about the future and
asked Mr. Eastern for help. Mr. Eastern said, "On the 13th lunar day, the God of
Fire will send a fairy lady in red to burn down the city. If you see a lady in
red wearing green pants riding a black horse on that day, you should ask for her
mercy." On that day, Yuan-Xiao pretended to be the red fairy lady. When people
asked for her help, she said, "Im the messenger of the God of Fire and came to
check on the city and Im going to set up fire on 15th. This is an order from
Jade Emperor. He will watch from the heavens.
I will give you a copy of the imperial decree from the God of Fire. You
should go to ask your emperor to find a way out." After she left, people went to
the palace to show the emperor the decree which reads "The capital city is in
trouble. Fire burns on the palace, and fire from Heaven burns all night long on
the 15th." The emperor of Han Dynasty was very shocked. He called and asked Mr.
Eastern for advice. After pondering for a while, Mr. Eastern said, "I heard that
the God of Fire likes to eat Tang-Yuan (Sweet dumpling). Does Yuan-Xiao often
cook Tang-Yuan for you? On the 15th lunar day, let Yuan-Xiao make Tang-Yuan.
Your Majesty will take charge of the worshipping ceremony and you will give
an order to every house to prepare Tang-Yuan to worship the God of Fire at the
same time. Also, deliver another order to ask every house in the city to hang
red lantern and explode fire crackers. Lastly, everyone in the palace and people
outside the city should carry their lanterns on the street to watch the lantern
decoration and fireworks. If everything goes this way, the Jade Emperor would be
deceived.
Then everyone can avoid the fire accident." The emperor happily followed
the plan. Lanterns were everywhere in the capital city on the night of the 15th
lunar day. People were walking on the street. Fire crackers kept making lots of
noise. It looked like the entire city was on fire. Yuan-Xiaos parents went into
the palace to watch the lantern decorations, and Yuan-Xiao made a big lantern
and wrote her name on the lantern. They happily reunited together after her
parents called her name. Everybody was safe during the night. The emperor of Han
Dynasty had a new order that people should do the same thing every year. Since
Yuan-Xiao cooked the best Tan-Yuan, people called the day Yuan-Xiao
Festival.
Young people were chaperoned in the streets in hopes of finding love.
Matchmakers acted busily in hopes of pairing couples. The brightest lanterns
were symbolic of good luck and hope. As time has passed, the festival no longer
has such implications.
Those who do not carry lanterns often enjoy watching informal lantern
parades. In addition to eating tangyuan (simplified Chinese: 汤圆; traditional
Chinese: 湯圓; pinyin: tāngyuán), another popular activity at this festival is
guessing lantern riddles (which became part of the festival during the Tang
Dynasty), which often contain messages of good fortune, family reunion, abundant
harvest, prosperity and love.

+ 加入清单Today, with the development of Internet, many traditional ways of life have
been changed, especially the way to pay for purchase. The record of credit
occupies important role for everybody, and they need good credit to get loan, so
as to start their business or buy a house. We have come to the age of
credit.
There is a very classic example about the importance of credit. A Chinese
man took the train in Europe. He found no one checked the ticket, so he just
skipped the ticket. He thought he had saved the little money, but when he came
to the bank and wanted to get the loan, he got rejected, because his record of
credit showed he had skipped the ticket, which made him the unreliable man.
The record of credit is the main basis when people asked for loan. The
banks consider the account of money they would borrow according to the credit,
or the departments will check a person’s credit to see if they want to hire him.
The age of credit asks for us to behave ourselves well, or we will live the
tough life.

Thanks to science and technology, we now live comfortably and conveniently in
houses furnished with air conditioners, refrigerators, washing machines and
televisions etc. Thanks to science and technology, we can eat fresh vegetables
at the year round. Thanks to science and technology, we can travel long
distances in the fraction of a second on planes, trains and cars. Thanks to
science and technology, we wear clothes with synthetic materials which can not
easily be worn out.
However, science and technology have atso brought us a lot of disasters.
First, because of the many breakthroughs in the field of medicine, people are
now living much longer than they used to. As a result, the population of the
world is increasing, causing lots of problems. Second, because of the
development of industry, lots of the wastes from factories pour into the air and
rivers, causing pollution of all kinds. Third, some terrorists are using science
and technology against mankind. They use biological, chemical and unclear
weapons to threaten world peace...
So its urgent that we find ways to solve these problems. But we should not
stop the development of science and technology because of these disasters they
bring, just as we should not give up eating for fear of choking. In addition, we
should make some rules to regulate our actions. As long as we use science and
technology in a proper way, they may bring us even more benefits.

absorbedly focusing on his cell phone without noticing the surroundings. This
sort of phenomenon is not uncommon and rare in some metropolis, especially among
the youngsters.
What the picture illustrates is the prevailing situation that has long
existed in todays China. That is the mobile phone obsession. With the advent of
information age, people are becoming
increasingly fascinated on the electronic products, especially the cell
phones. Not surprisingly, you could easily notice that most of us are obsessed
in sending messages, playing online games with their mobile phones. It cannot be
denied that this phenomenon may negatively impact the relationship among people,
and therefore they will become estranged and isolated.
Personally, in view of the overuse of mobile phones, I hold that we
individuals should raise the necessary awareness that good relationships are
reinforced by sincere and face-to-face communication.

vicissitudes of singing, calm down and enjoy this rare leisure time.
Heavy heat from the fragrant tea, flicking my cheeks, itchy, but I cant
take care of it, because I was devoted to the book...
The book has a different position in everyones heart. People who have a
desire for knowledge think that the book is a dinner, especially needed; for
some people who are busy with work, it is a pack of snacks. Some energy...
The book is a snack type in my mind. It is for my entertainment. Of course,
I can supplement and broaden my knowledge while I am busy. It made me appreciate
Qin Wenjuns humor, Guo Jingmings romance, and Zhang Xiaoxians faint sorrow. The
book gives me a huge vocabulary and gives me a deeper understanding of
literature: literature is not the boring articles in "textbooks". Literature can
be funny and humorous, literature can be romantic and beautiful, and literature
can also be pretentious.
From the thin "good children" in childhood to the thick "junior literature
and art", from the interesting "Andersens fairy tale" to the endless aftertaste
of "The Dream of the Red Chamber", I also understand the value of various books.
After reading some campus novels, I feel that there is a lot of excitement.
After a few months, I basically have no impression. But classical literature can
not only increase your literary culture, but also learn some incomprehensible
ancient poetry. Wouldn’t it be fun?
