同学们,这是我家乡的清明节,用酒食、清明果缅怀已逝的亲人,祭祀逝去却永存的情意。

冬天过去了,万物复苏,这时,一年一度的清明节又到了。从我记事开始,每年清明节的这一天,母亲就让我换上军色的春装,带着纸钱,领着我上坟去。
我们家去世的人都埋在扁担山,那儿离我家很远,要转好几道车。记得小时候,我总是很高兴去上坟,因为母亲在坟前一烧纸钱,就管不着我了,我便满山遍野地到处玩,直到母亲把我拖上车去。不知从什么时候开始,我去上坟不再又玩又闹了,而是逐个逐个地观察每一座坟。有一次我发现在一座破烂不堪的坟前,从来没有纸钱烧过的痕迹,我很奇怪,就弯下腰,仔细辨认碑上的文字,上面好像刻着什么“生前曾参加过抗美援朝的战斗”,而且他还是个外乡人哩!咦,他应该埋在烈士墓园吧!为什么上面没有一个亲属的名字?
我带着疑问跑去好奇地告诉母亲,母亲没有抬头,只是缓缓地说:“唉!你拿些纸钱去为他上坟吧!”我接过了母亲递来的一叠纸钱。走到了他墓前,一边往火里扔纸钱,一边喃喃地说:“从来没有人来为您上过坟,您一定很寂寞吧,我虽然不知道您叫什么,也不认识您,但您当年一定是个功臣,如今尸骨却流落他乡,我为您烧一些纸钱吧……”这时,一双手温和地扶住了我的双肩,我回头一看,原来是母亲,她轻轻从我手中拿了一些纸钱,扔向火中,纸钱打着旋落在火中,一张,两张、四张……
今年又到清明了,由于母亲得了严重的风湿性关节炎,她不能上坟了,而我一个人去她又不放心。于是我们就在室外烧纸钱,母亲扔一些纸钱就说:“爹!您接着吧!小远(我的舅舅)拿着……”
纸钱只剩下最后一叠时,母亲把它递给我说:“小咏,你为那位死不知名的人烧吧,唉!没人给他上坟怪可怜的`。”……火光映着我的脸,我在心里说:“安息吧!明年清明节时,我一定为您去上坟!”一阵风吹了过来,把纸钱烧过的灰烬吹走了……

The Chinese have specific way to celebrate their new year. If you walk down the street in Chinatown during Chinese New Year, you see a variety of ancient traditions such as red banners, firecrackers and lion dance performances, streets are filled with lively celebration.
However, legend has said that the new year has not always been a time of festivity. An Asian Chinese story told a chilly start to this festive holiday, it begins with an ancient Chinese beast called Nian.
Every New Year Nian would rise from swelling in the sea to ravage Chinese village in livestock and hurting people. The villages soon found out from a wise gray-haired old man that the only way to scare the beast away was to set off firecrackers and light lamps and to hang red banners on each door. As the story goes, this was the beginning of a tradition that would last thousands of years.
So this story leads to the creation of many of other traditions for celebrating Chinese New Year. lets take a look at some of these traditions.
篇10:初一介绍春节英语
全文共 1617 字
+ 加入清单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.

篇20:关于介绍中国的餐桌礼仪的英语作文
全文共 1541 字
+ 加入清单Table Manners
The main difference between Chinese and western eating habits is that unlike the West, where everyone has their own plate of food, in China the dishes are placed on the table and everybody shares. If you are being treated by a Chinese host, be prepared for a ton of food. Chinese are very proud of their culture of cuisine and will do their best to show their hospitality.
And sometimes the Chinese host use their chopsticks to put food in your bowl or plate. This is a sign of politeness. The appropriate thing to do would be to eat the whatever-it-is and say how yummy it is. If you feel uncomfortable with this, you can just say a polite thank you and leave the food there.
Eating No-nos
Dont stick your chopsticks upright in the rice bowl.Instead,lay them on your dish. The reason for this is that when somebody dies,the shrine to them contains a bowl of sand or rice with two sticks of incense stuck upright in it. So if you stick your chopsticks in the rice bowl, it looks like this shrine and is equivalent to wishing death upon a person at the table!
Make sure the spout of the teapot is not facing anyone. It is impolite to set the teapot down where the spout is facing towards somebody. The spout should always be directed to where nobody is sitting, usually just outward from the table.
Dont tap on your bowl with your chopsticks.Beggars tap on their bowls, so this is not polite.Also, when the food is coming too slow in a restarant, people will tap their bowls. If you are in someones home,it is like insulting the cook.
