春节是我国传统的节日，也是我最喜欢的节日，因为春节可以收压岁钱、贴春联、放烟火、吃年夜饭……现在春节就快来到了，我心里不由得欣喜。

大年夜上午，我和爸爸在大门上贴起了春联，挂起了灯笼，家家喜气洋洋。下午，爸妈特别忙,忙着包饺子，准备年夜饭，当然我也不闲着，把自己的房间全打扫一遍，把地拖得干干净净，迎接新年的到来。

大年夜终于来了，舅妈家、外公家和我们家围着圆桌旁，吃着丰盛的菜肴，大家有说有笑。8点钟，全家都守在电视机前，一边吃瓜子，一边看春节联欢晚会。晚会上的内容丰富多彩，有歌舞、杂技、魔术、小品……看到他们的表演，不由得想起“台上三分钟，台下十年功”这句谚语。快到12点，外面鞭炮齐鸣、震耳欲聋，我在窗户口放眼远眺，只见无数的烟花在城市的上空绽放，五彩缤纷、美不胜收，一眼望去，整个黑夜金光闪闪。我特别激动，赶紧叫着爸爸同我去放炮竹，辞旧迎新。来到楼下，爸爸把烟火放在平地上。一只特大号的烟火点燃了，只听“咝”的一声飞上天，展开了艳丽的火花，有赤、橙、黄、绿、蓝五种颜色，真是绚丽多彩，此时此刻，整个天空，仿佛是彩色的世界，如同仙境一般。我万分激动、兴奋，也拿起小烟火自己放了起来。这个夜晚使我感受到了热闹的过年气氛。

春节过年可真丰富啊!既看到了五颜六色的烟花，又收到了很多压岁钱，还看到了精彩的春节联欢晚会。不过，过了年，我也大了一岁，要懂事了，要在学习上更加努力。希望下一个春节能赶快到来啊!我爱春节!

“放鞭炮啦，放鞭炮啦!……”我嘴里不停的喊着。

春节到了，可不能少了鞭炮。这不，我和爸妈兴致勃勃的去买鞭炮。店铺里摆放着各种各样的鞭炮，看得我眼花缭乱。我和爸、妈提了一大包鞭炮，开车直奔奶奶家。

在奶奶家里，正好表弟 也在。我迫不及待的拿出一种名叫“莲花”的鞭炮，让爷爷帮我点着。弟弟一看大叫：“妈呀，我的耳朵要受罪了!”说着双手捂起耳朵来。我可大胆了，把“莲花”放到了地上，快速的点燃了火芯，之间“莲花”飞快的旋转起来，可真是莲花啊!中间有淡淡的黄，黄色外面又一圈浅浅的绿，最外面的花瓣是粉红色的。一边旋转一边还发出“劈劈啪啪”的声音。一会儿火花渐渐消失了。表弟看的目瞪口呆。我接下来又放了一种“梦幻精灵”，这种鞭炮只要点着了，先转一会儿，然后一下子炸开了。后来我又拿起擦鞭对准擦板一擦，飞快的扔出去，它先冒了一会烟，突然“啪”的一声炸开了。表弟也胆大了，也拿起鞭炮放起来。最后，我们一起放了一种叫“蝙蝠”的鞭炮，点着了，“蝙蝠”“嗖”的一声进入了太空。“真过瘾，真过瘾!”我和表弟不停的喊着。

放鞭炮真好玩啊!我感受到无论做什么事都要大胆去试一试，才会感觉到其中的滋味。

The Spring Festival is our traditional festival, the common saying is that it is a new year.

One day before the new year, people would go to the shops in the sea of people to buy things. Some people buy chickens, ducks, goose, some people buy fish and meat, and others buy Biscuits, chocolate and other snacks...

One day at noon, my father took the broom and sweep around the house. Mother wiped the table and the window with a rag. And what about me? It is to put the ornaments of the new year on the wall. The whole house became clean and beautiful. We are very happy.

On New Years eve, it was very lively, and every family was making New Years dishes, and the smell of the wine was everywhere. Men and women, old and young, were wearing new clothes, and a red and red couplet was affixed to the door. On New Years eve, the lights are on all night. People who do things outside will have to come home for a reunion dinner unless they have to. This night, apart from very small children, no one is going to sleep at the same time. The scene of the Spring Festival was different from that of New Years eve: the shops were boarded, and the last nights firecrackers were piled up in front of the door, and the whole city was resting. The men went to visit their relatives and friends before noon. The women received guests at home. Outside the city, many temples hold temple fairs. Vendors sell tea, food and toys outside the temple. Children especially love to go to the temple fair, so that they can have a chance to go outside the city to see the wild scenery, can ride a donkey, and also can buy New Years unique toys. The temple fair has horse racing and camel racing. These contests are not for the first who is second, but for the good posture and skill of the horse, camel and rider in front of the audience. The sky is full of colors. Will put every year before the fireworks began, every family put their most beautiful fireworks in the sky, fireworks bursting in the black night sky, a than a bright, the sky seems to be holding a beauty contest.

How beautiful! All the people stopped at that moment, only to hear the exclamations of the fireworks, the adults faces showed the innocence of the smile, and began to recall their happy childhood. At the same time, we all quietly made a wish: I hope this year I can be admitted to a high school with a good result! New Year, new beginning. I hope that all the students in the sixth grade will work together to create their own future with a good grade.

我们祖国有悠久的历史，有着许多传统节日，还有一些各具特色的民风民俗。但我最喜欢的传统节日是：春节。除夕过了，春节也就到了，新的一年开始了。

除夕那天真热闹，家家赶做年菜，到处是酒肉的香味。男女老少都穿起新衣，门外贴上了红红的对联，屋里贴好了各色的年画。除夕夜家家灯火通宵，不许间断，鞭炮声日夜不绝。在外边做事的人除非万不得已，必定赶回家来吃团圆饭。这一夜，除了很小的孩子，没有什么人睡觉都要守岁。春节的光景与除夕那天截然不同：铺户都上着板子，门前堆着昨夜燃放的爆竹纸皮，全城都在休息。男人们午前到亲戚家朋友家拜年。女人们在家中接待客人。城内城外许多寺院举办庙会，小贩们在庙外摆摊卖茶，食品和各种玩具。小孩子们特别爱逛庙会，为的是有机会到城外看看野景，可以骑毛驴，还能买到新年特有的玩具。庙会上有赛马的，还有赛骆驼的。这些比赛并不为争谁第一谁第二，而是在观众面前表演马，骆驼与骑者的美好姿态与娴熟技能。“嘭”天空中五颜六色的。原来每年必放的烟花开始了，家家户户都把自家最美的烟花放上了天空，烟花在黑色的夜空中绽开来，一个比一个光彩夺目，天空中似乎正在举行一场选美比赛。

美极了！所有人顿时停留在了那一刻，只听到烟花绽放时的惊叹声，大人们脸上露出了童真的笑容，开始回忆起自己的美好童年。同时，我们都悄悄许了愿望：希望今年我能以一个优秀的成绩考上一座中学！新的一年，新的开始。希望今年六年级的同学都一齐努力，用一个好成绩来创造自己的未来。

每年春节我都和我的好朋友们一起去玩炮竹。以前我们还小，大人们会担心都不让我们放，我们都是偷偷地放，今年我们选了一个大场地可以大胆地放。

天已很晚了，我们决定晚上继续放，妈妈替我们买了一个稍微大点的烟花，点燃烟花芯，只听见”啪“的一声炸响，空中像天女撒下数不清的花瓣，一眨眼又变成一顶顶圆形的降落伞，焰火窜入天空，四处飞溅撒下五颜六色的烟花，漂亮极了，真是美不胜收。

我们大家手上都拿着一大把烟花，欢奔乱跳燃放爆竹，大家都喜笑颜开，今天是我最开心的一天。

Hang up red lanterns, happy song sings, with the crackling sound of firecrackers, the Spring Festival party. Below, lets go to a small case of the waste of the Spring Festival. Let SGO!

The Spring Festival: a waste of reciprocity

The Spring Festival is a traditional festival in our country. It is a happy day for family reunion. Most people visit relatives and give gifts to each other. Trinidad send goose, courtesy light weight friendship." It has already been regarded as a custom for many people to send gifts for the Spring Festival. Among the people I am investigating, most people actually spend a lot of money to buy gifts. In fact, we dont have to spend lots of money to buy so many gifts, in fact, as long as the greetings, relatives and friends also met the joys of.

The waste phenomenon of the Spring Festival two: travel out

In the new year, many people like to take their family together to travel, and the cost is quite high, with the convenience of a few million yuan. Some of them go abroad, some go to pray, go to...... The highway is the "car mountain car sea", in common words, one word - blocking! Take the Buddha, the Buddha is straight up the number of 2016. So, I ask you: is it necessary? After the Spring Festival, the best thing is to accompany their parents and children to go shopping street and accompany them. It is not necessary to go to such a distant place.

The waste of the Spring Festival three: set off firecrackers

Crackling crackling......" When it comes to the Spring Festival, firecrackers can be said to be an essential activity for people. But its a waste, too. The smell of smoke produced after the firecrackers will affect peoples health, and the explosion of firecrackers will frighten children and the elderly. The ear injury is beyond doubt -- tinnitus, hearing loss and so on. It will also pollute the environment and cause fires. Also, some people spend lots of money to buy many firecrackers, most will listen to the sound, see the beauty of it, is not how happy, we can choose the new year a more interesting way, do not have to put the choice of firecrackers to celebrate the new year, if it is to set off firecrackers, must go to the specified place a small amount of fireworks.

The waste of the Spring Festival is four:...

Everyone singing and laughing, the scene is beautiful now singing, now dancing! Let us reduce the waste of the Spring Festival, happy happy year, red and red fire in an auspicious year!

The Spring Festival is the most important festival in China. Before the Spring Festival People clean their houses，put red couplets on their gates，and set off firecrackers to drive away the legendary monster “Nian”.

春节是中华民族最重要的节日。春节来临之前，人们要扫尘、贴对联、放鞭炮来驱赶传说中的怪兽“年”。

On the eve of the Spring Festival, families get together and have a big dinner. Dumplings are the most traditional food.

春节前夕，家人都会团聚在一起享受丰盛的年夜饭。饺子是最传统的食物。

The Spring Festival lasts about 15 days long .People visit relatives and friends with the words “Happy new year”. People enjoy the Spring Festival, during this time they can have a good rest.

春节大约持续15天。人们都要走亲访友，相互拜年，还要说：“新年快乐，万事如意。”还可以好好休息一段时间。

Children like the festival very much, because they can have delicious food and wear new clothes .They can also get some money from their elders. This money is given to children for good luck.

孩子们更是喜欢过节，因为他们不仅可以吃到美味佳肴、穿上新衣服，还可以得到很多压岁钱。晚辈得到压岁钱就可以平平安安度过一岁。

Chinese New Year or Spring Festival is the most important of the traditional Chinese holidays。 It is sometimes called the "Lunar New Year" by English speakers。 The festival traditionally begins on the first day of the first month (Chinese: 正月; pinyin: zhēng yuè) in the Chinese calendar and ends on the 15th; this day is called Lantern Festival。 Chinese New Years Eve is known as chú xī。 It literally means "Year-pass Eve"。

Chinese New Year is the longest and most important festivity in the Lunar Calendar。 The origin of Chinese New Year is itself centuries old and gains significance because of several myths and traditions。 Ancient Chinese New Year is a reflection on how the people behaved and what they believed in the most。

Celebrated in areas with large populations of ethnic Chinese， Chinese New Year is considered a major holiday for the Chinese and has had influence on the new year celebrations of its geographic neighbors， as well as cultures with whom the Chinese have had extensive interaction。 These include Koreans (Seollal)， Tibetans and Bhutanese (Losar)， Mongolians (Tsagaan Sar)， Vietnamese (T?t)， and formerly the Japanese before 1873 (Oshogatsu)。 Outside of Mainland China， Hong Kong， Macau， and Taiwan， Chinese New Year is also celebrated in countries with significant Han Chinese populations， such as Singapore， Indonesia， Laos， Malaysia， the Philippines， and Thailand。 In countries such as Australia， Canada and the United States， although Chinese New Year is not an official holiday， many ethnic Chinese hold large celebrations and Australia Post， Canada Post， and the US Postal Service issues New Years themed stamps。

Within China， regional customs and traditions concerning the celebration of the Chinese new year vary widely。 People will pour out their money to buy presents， decoration， material， food， and clothing。 It is also the tradition that every family thoroughly cleans the house to sweep away any ill-fortune in hopes to make way for good ining luck。 Windows and doors will be decorated with red colour paper-cuts and couplets with popular themes of “happiness”， “wealth”， and “longevity”。 On the Eve of Chinese New Year， supper is a feast with families。 Food will include such items as pigs， ducks， chicken and sweet delicacies。 The family will end the night with firecrackers。 Early the next morning， children will greet their parents by wishing them a healthy and happy new year， and receive money in red paper envelopes。 The Chinese New Year tradition is a great way to reconcile forgetting all grudges， and sincerely wish peace and happiness for everyone。

Although the Chinese calendar traditionally does not use continuously numbered years， outside China its years are often numbered from the reign of Huangdi。 But at least three different years numbered 1 are now used by various scholars， making the year 2009 "Chinese Year" 4707， 4706， or 4646。
