The Spring Festival is the most important festival all the year round for the Chinese. During this Spring Festival, I have a good time.

First of all, I did so well in the final exam that makes my parents very happy. They say that it’s their best gift for the New Year. And we come back our hometown to spend this biggest festival with other relatives. We had a big dinner on the New Year’s Eve. There were about thirty people had the dinner together. It was really great. After dinner, we enjoyed the Spring Festival Gala Evening. On the New Year’s Day, we gathered together to play games or cards. We children got lucky money from adults. This was the most exciting thing for us. On the following days, we visited to each other, bringing our best wishes.

春节的那天晚上，我盼望能赶快放鞭炮。我想让我也常常放鞭炮的感受。啊!到放鞭炮的时间啦!我的好奇心增加了一倍!终于到我大显身手的时候了!于是我问爸爸：爸爸，我能跟你们一起放鞭炮吗?行啊，但是你得听我指挥。明白了吗?恩，明白了!我万分开心的说。首先，先把鞭炮准备好，在那你旁边带着火苗的树叉，点起鞭炮的绳。快跑过来!爸爸又紧张又严肃的说。怦，我跑到爸爸身边后赶紧回头。

其中我最喜欢放“灯陀骡”，因为只要一点燃它，它就会顺时针旋转，并且还会轮流发出赤、橙、黄、绿、青、蓝、紫七种颜色，犹如一道彩虹划过天边，绚丽多彩、姹紫嫣红。

点燃“开心果”就会看到一道金光，顺着“开心果”逆时针流动，越来越快，越来越快，直到听见轰地一声，“开心果”里的火药就会辟里啪啦、辟里啪啦地响了，那声音清脆悦耳，非常好听。

我喜欢过年，更喜欢鞭炮。

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.

Things Happened in Spring Festival Today, I went shopping with my parents, grandparents, aunts, uncles, and cousins. It was a rare occasion because we hardly only get together few times in a year as a big family. On the way to the shopping mall, we watched the lion dance. Overall, we had an unforgettable day.

放鞭炮的最大好处是增添年的道味，禁放鞭炮的几年人们普遍认为缺乏了年味。劈啪的鞭炮声告诉人们年的到来，制造出年的氛围，人们的心情在鞭炮声中找到了轻松和快乐；鞭炮是过年中的好景致，尤其是住在高层楼房的人的好景致，放鞭炮给孩子们留下最初的年的记忆，成年人也在观看和鉴赏中共享年的欢乐。

放鞭炮可以维持鞭炮行业的稳定与发展，从而支持社会经济的稳定与发展。鞭炮是一个行业，涉及原料、制造、运输、销售等行业，与社会经济密切相关。

放鞭炮的弊端：

1、放鞭炮是严重的浪费。对个人是浪费了金钱，对社会是浪费了资源。社会生活水平的不断提高，使放鞭炮的水平也在不断提高，首先是鞭炮的大小、装火药量越来越大，然后是人们燃放鞭炮的数量越来越大，燃放大装药量鞭炮的人越来越多。每个家庭过年燃放鞭炮的数量都比较大，各个家庭燃放鞭炮的总量更是非常大，而且不仅是个人在燃放，单位也在大量燃放，经常有单位大量集中燃放。个人燃放还可以为人们理解，单位集中燃放容易使人产生惋惜之情，容易将大量燃放的鞭炮同大量低收入贫困群体的生活相联系。

2、放鞭炮污染、破坏环境。首先，放鞭炮制造大量垃圾，据报道，北京市年三十至初一因放鞭炮产生的垃圾为八十吨。如果垃圾得不到及时的清运，环境将非常脏乱。其次，人们应该发现放鞭炮产生大量空气污染物，这些污染物主要氮的氧化物，有特殊气味，稍有些化学知识的人都知道，氮的氧化物直接危害人们身体，形成酸雨进一步破坏环境，影响生产生活。

3、放鞭炮不安全。每年都会有许多燃放鞭炮造成的伤害事件、火灾事件发生是众所周知的事实。

4、放鞭炮影响人们生活。年三十至初一鞭炮声此起彼伏，很多人都有放鞭炮的快乐，但很多人也都有对鞭炮声欲罢不能的烦恼。许多人在彻夜不眠中享受了快乐，但也有人因嘈杂的无奈而影响了对快乐的享受。

到这里也许会使人认为我是一个禁放主义者，实际不然，至少现在我支持过年燃放鞭炮，我只是希望过年燃放鞭炮能避免那些弊端。但是，我也不否认我认为燃放鞭炮的习俗应当随社会进步而逐渐革除。

在目前禁止燃放鞭炮尚不适时宜，但应该为燃放鞭炮定一些规则，以避免然放鞭炮的弊端。我认为避免那些弊端的有效方法是在禁与不禁之间找到平衡，包括对燃放地点、燃放时间、燃放对象等找到合理的平衡。在燃放地点上，简单的划定禁放区显然不能满足燃放需要，禁放区应当明确，但同时是否应该多划定一些燃放区与之相对应；燃放时间的设定应考虑不同群体的要求；燃放对象则包括鞭炮种类大小和可以燃放鞭炮的对象，要考虑一般燃放和特殊燃放、专业燃放的区别，分散个别燃放和集中表演燃放的区别。

可能有人会说，是否燃放鞭炮应由社会自然选择。我认为，燃放鞭炮的利与弊实际已很清楚，但要由社会自身革除陋习推进文明，过程将非常困难而且过于漫长。社会的发展不能靠消极的等待，而应顺应时势积极的推进。我们不能简单的评价前几年禁放鞭炮的得失，禁放后又开禁，开禁后再禁放，也许正是燃放鞭炮习俗发展变化的必经之路。

生活中的传统文化可多啦!如春节贴对联、放鞭炮，元宵节吃汤圆，中秋节吃月饼、赏月等。

我最喜欢的就是春节放鞭炮了。在我们中国，每逢春节，无论城市还是农村，都要放鞭炮。

有一天，我和妈妈在街上溜达，突然一声巨响把我妈妈吓得浑身发抖，这时我才回过神来，原来是放鞭炮的时间到了。我和妈妈用飞一般的速度跑回家，把一盒崭新的鞭炮拿出来，父亲一点燃就跑，鞭炮突然怒放，看了以后，漂亮极了!

父亲还放了一个10000响的王中王的鞭炮，父亲还没点着，全家人就已经把耳朵捂上了，因为王中王的实在是太响了，所以就捂上了耳朵。

放鞭炮代表喜庆。我感受到了中华文化的博大精深。

手机有好处也有坏处！就像天使与恶魔！是统一体。

手机有许多的坏处。生活中有不少。我妈妈吧，就很爱玩手机，不分日夜。早上5点妈妈本来还在睡觉，可是我发现她手上多了一个麦芒手机。妈妈入迷地看着，什么淘宝抢购什么的。我爸爸也是最爱手机，爱打QQ斗地主。我也爱发博客，我同学聊聊微信QQ。妈妈和爸爸还喜欢看书和小说，有时连上厕所都在看，有时晚上12点了还在玩手机。真是“精神可嘉”呀！

还有一次我要去上学，在一个十字路口，正好是绿灯，可是妈妈包里的电话却响了起来。妈妈接起电话：“喂，你好，嗯，好的好的……”5分钟过去了，我急的叫起来，可是这时妈妈又听到了微信的声音，于是又是不停的发微信。好不容易发好了，可是这时候马路上的绿灯又转红灯了。我急的快要哭出来了，在这点上我爸爸还是做的很好的。

手机当然也有不少好处。它有着前所未有的方便，和朋友联系只要按下语音就可以了，有任何问题疑问只要百度一下就可以了，另外购物也方便了不少，不用外出购买，只要在家里点点手机就行了。另外还有外卖，只要在家里等着，东西就送到了你的身边。

手机就像天使又像恶魔！我们要正确对待使用手机，要使用它的好处而不是它的坏处。那它会给人们带来更多的方便！

今夜可不是普通的夜晚了，是大年三十。

我正在津津有味的吃着零食，老爸叫了一声：“走，咱们放鞭炮去。”我一听到“鞭炮”两个字就兴奋得跳起来了。就赶紧叫上老妈去追赶爸爸，追到楼下，我们开始放鞭炮了。我先放了一串，“噼哩啪啦”。当时，我觉得我就像一个魔术师，一点燃鞭炮，手里提着鞭炮的一头，手轮着鞭炮转圈，真像是在施魔法。爸爸紧接着就放了一个“飞天导弹”，“飞天导弹”好像是一只自由自在的金鸟，尾巴上拉着一条金线，嘴里一直不停的奏着乐曲，在空中自由的飞翔。一会儿又像是一只受了箭伤的小鸟，飞快的俯冲下来。“瞧，咱这技术，第一次就就如此成功!”老爸得意地说。我和爸爸高兴得手舞足蹈。该妈妈放了，我和爸爸都在奇怪，妈妈会放什么呢?回头一看，“哎呀!我的妈呀，你什么时候敢放这种大烟花了?”妈妈笑着，点燃了烟花，“砰!砰!……”烟花五颜六色，像一朵朵绚丽多彩的鲜花在空中飘舞。烟花在我们的欢声笑语中放完了。

今天晚上，我感觉非常快乐!我想：你们也一定跟我一样快乐吧!

The most impressive happy festival is, of course, the annual Spring Festival, the Spring Festival is the most important festival to Chinese people, people will set off firecrackers in the Spring Festival that day; Reunion dinner; See light, dragon dance and so on.

As in previous years, this years Spring Festival, in the morning, there are some mist, but the enthusiasm of the people to resist the cold, the street has a lot of people in the street vendor, some people are selling ice-sugar gourd, such as hot air balloon, at this point, some cries to bargaining sound into my ears.

最开心印象深刻的节日当然是一年一度的春节，春节是中国人最重要的节日，人们会在春节那一天放鞭炮;吃团圆饭;看灯，观舞龙等。

今年的春节如往年一样，早上，有一些雾，可寒冷挡不住人们的热情，大街上已有许多人在摆地摊了，有些人在卖冰糖葫芦、热气球之类的了，此时，一些叫卖声和着讨价还价声传入我的耳朵。

中午，雾气退去，人越来越多，家家的小孩穿着新衣，高兴的买这买那，大人们满脸流露喜悦，在熙熙攘攘的人流中穿行。

时间飞过，已到旁晚，是我们小孩活跃的时间到了，我们一群群的走向烟花售部，挑着满意的烟花，烟花的种类繁多，什么冲天炮、蝴蝶飞、芭比娃娃跳舞、金丝猴之类的，挑好了之后，捂住耳朵，点燃烟花，那一霎间，天空上开放着鲜花，地面有我们的笑脸，我们一人拿几根烟花点燃，过路人欣赏烟花的同时，我们开绽微笑。

姐姐，舞龙团来了，那一条张牙舞爪的巨龙扑着、旋转着要吞下一颗宝珠，而高举宝珠的孩童，调皮着不让龙靠近。

哇!那一个个灯笼在年轻人手上不断的变化着，因为时间的推移，我原以为没花灯看呢，可有些人还是执着把我国传统文化一代又一代延下去。

夜更深了，孩子们睡了，只有虫鸣在叫着，好像在谈论什么。

[春节英语优秀作文

春节的早上，我的爸爸一翻身就起床，还顺便把我也叫了起来，神秘地说：我们一起去买鞭炮！可不能让你妈妈知道。我听了这话，马上翻身起床，跟着爸爸出去买鞭炮了。

来到大街上，鞭炮的种类可真多啊！有带着长头发的神鞭，有红引线的擦炮，还有似铜铃儿的滚地炮我看着这一大群（堆）鞭炮，眼睛都看花了。最火我选了三种鞭炮：绿色的神鞭、火红的的三响炮和带着红色的冲天炮。我们把鞭炮拿到婆婆家后才去接妈妈，我们一家回到婆婆家后，我拿起神鞭点上火，那神鞭发出清脆的劈啪声。神鞭发出的火焰似满天星，又似朵朵盛开的红菊花。我还没放完神鞭就早已迫不及待地抓起一大把三响炮。可拿到一看才胆战心惊，原来这炮的引线极短，可它又粗得像钢笔一样。我鼓起勇气，把它点上火扔了出去，那火炮在空中翻着跟斗跳到了田野里，轰轰轰！地响了三声后，就只剩一阵烟了。

It was the Eve of the Spring Festival.

Dusk was just falling as I slurped up the last bit of rice and laid down my chopsticks.

“Theyre starting!” cried my friend excitedly. “Quick! Quick!”

Outside, children were running everywhere. Their happy voices and faces made me warm inside, despite the cold wind that greeted me. My friend thrust a bundle of straw in my hands. “Come!” he cried. I giggled as I ran to catch up to him; the childrens excitement was a fever that spread to even the big kids like us.

I soon joined a rowdy bunch of children and teenagers who were building a bonfire in the middle of a path that ran through the wheat fields. “Here,”said my friend, handing me a long bamboo pole. “Put some of your straw in the fire. Then tie the rest onto your pole like this.” He demonstrated with his own materials, and I followed his example. Then he thrust both our torches into the fire and handed me mine. “Now run!”

And run I did----we all did. For miles and miles around, as far as I could see, there were small orange specks scattered about, and I could hear the distant screaming and laughing of other children running up and down the rice field path. For several hours into the night I helped build fires and keep an eye on the younger children. Occasionally I, too, lit a torch and ran around like a mad man, screaming and waving a flaming bamboo pole.

This festival, which occurred six days before Chinese New Year, was just one of the experiences during the visit to my friends over the Spring Festival. As it was explained to me, the purpose behind this festival was to allow the children to have fun burning up all the straw leftover after the harvest. Later, the ash is used for fertilizer.

每逢过年，便是我们小孩最开心的时候了，因为不仅可以轻松地过着好吃懒做的日子，又可以分到很多压岁包，还可以玩鞭炮呢!然而我对吃喝和压岁包并不感兴趣，最有意思的事就是放鞭炮了。

大年初一一大早，伯伯便买来了一大箱一大箱的烟花炮竹：有长龙形的冲天炮、有塔形的满地红、有木棒型的螺旋炮、还有小得像米粒的迷你炮……

一到晚上，我们便抬出一些鞭炮，把一个小塔形的鞭炮轻轻地放在花园的一片空地上，并仔细检查炮顶上面的引线是否完好无损，检查完毕，不见丝毫怪异后，就点燃引线，接着便匆匆离开。一转身，只见塔尖喷出了一道青光，此刻如果把夜空比作是一潭西湖的水，那鞭炮发出的光亮必定是一束镶嵌在西湖水中央的美丽的荷花;如果把夜空当作是一匹锦缎，那鞭炮发出的.光亮必定是一朵艳丽的鲜花。塔形的鞭炮声音越来越小，越来越低，直至它化为灰烬，我们就开怀大笑一阵。

“懋哥，懋哥，还有这个!”小弟弟指着“黑蜘蛛”划炮，让我玩划炮。

“哗……啪……”划炮在我手中一划就响，可我觉得只这样玩并不满足，见脚下有个空的可口可乐瓶，便灵机一动，划着了一个，立刻扔进可乐瓶，又盖上了一个瓦石片之类的，只听“啪”的一声，瓦石片便被炸得粉身碎骨，可乐瓶一直在冒烟，仿佛就象一个“烟雾弹”。

这还没让我过瘾，忽然哥哥建议说：“去鱼塘里放鞭炮更好，那里全是小蝌蚪，往里一扔，那个爽快啊!”

我听后，马上往鱼塘跑去，到了鱼塘我赶紧划了一根，扔进去，只见引头的火立刻被水熄灭了，引头只在水里冒泡泡，鞭炮底身也插进了泥土，“叭”的一声小小水花成了一个圆晕，声音比地上的轻了许多，但只见池里的蝌蚪不再吃塘里的泥土了，而是成群结队地游到了塘中央去了。我想进去把蝌蚪抓出来，可是一不小心一脚踩进了鱼塘里，就只好回家换鞋。

打鞭炮，真乐，真开心。它们的声音与美丽永远留在我的心间!
