Prepare for the Chinese New Year

Its about one and a half month away from the Chinese New Year, It is a festival celebrated by the Chinese people at the beginning of the lunar calendar year.

As of the Chinese traditional customs, our parents and grandparents will sweep every corner of the house and clean the windows until they gleam, and washing clothes, buying foods and goods for the new years future use and presents.

Children will be the most benefited group during this feast period. One month before that, they are expecting the new clothes, delicious foods. The firecrackers and the years allowance for their increased ages.

In recent years, with the rising of the standard of life, Chinese tend to make various holiday plans to spend a different and meaningful new year. Such as traveling abroad, or be absorbed in their hobbies, and even work.

Why today we try to spend our Chinese new year in such a different way? I think thats because this is a era of free life and personality high-ranking. Though there are still something traditional, our young generation is attempting to make something new and suitable for ourselves. And we would like to take something really worth to be cherished in our memorable treasures. Thats amazing and wonderful!

Ill always keep in mind that the Chinese new year is a great feast inherited from our ancestors, but if necessary, I would like to enjoy it by some ways personal.

Spring Festival, for me, is both happy and unforgettable. I like the spring festival very much.

The Laba Festival, people accustomed to the twelve known as the eighth day of the twelfth lunar month, the twelfth lunar month, and its as a traditional festival has the Laba Festival to treat. Many of the Laba Laba Festival or custom also often dubbed the eight symbol of porridge, produce good harvests. The Laba is actually the beginning of the Spring Festival. I have been very fond of the Laba Festival.

The Laba Festival had finished is small, also known as small Xie stove, kitchen, kitchen king festival. In the 23th day of the twelfth month of the Chinese lunar calendar or twenty-four. Lunar New Year is regarded as the New Year beginning, is among the people day. It is said that the day, the king Kitchen God to report to the Jade Emperor of the family of good and evil, let him out. So it is in, but also to use fire to melt candy on the kitchen gods mouth, let it not speak ill of the emperor before coming to family peace. Only for men.

The new years Eve, our one family will sit down and eat dumplings, on behalf of one family reunion, the family gathered at twelve every staying-up late on new years Eve, shooting, its a new year.

First of the month, for the first year of the year, commonly known as "Spring Festival" we have to get up early, wear new clothes to visit the year. Spring Festival is also my favorite festival, because it can have the age of money. The 15th day of the first month of the Chinese lunar calendar - the first month for the fifteen yuan, and fifteen yuan in July under the section are collectively referred to as the "three yuan", the festival activity is mainly ornamental lights, also known as the "Lantern Festival" column: eat dumplings, watching lanterns, playing, lantern riddles after the fire of fifteen, families are busy at work, preparing for the children school.

The night before the examination

The clock struck eleven at night。 The whole house was quiet。 Everyone was in bed except me。 Under the strong light， I looked gloomily before me at a huge pile of that disgusting stuff they call“books”。

I was going to have my examination the next day。 “Whencan I go to bed ” I asked myself。 I did not answer。 In fact I dared not。

The clock struck 12。“Oh， dear！”I cried。 “Ten more books to read before I can go to bed！”We students are the most wretched creatures in the world。

The Spring Festival in China is an ancient festival, is also the most important throughout the year a festival to celebrate this holiday, over one thousand years of history in the development, formed some relatively fixed customs and habits, and there are many also it today.

Happy New Year Spring Festival, the elders will prepared New Years money to the younger generation, it is said that the New Years money can be pinned XieSui, because "old" and "are" harmonics, junior get lucky money can be spent a year in peace.

Since the Spring Festival Gala on CCTV was established in the 1980s, it has been confirmed to be a huge success by attracting most audience in China. On the Eve of the Spring Festival, numerous Chinese will sit in front of the television screens looking forward to enjoy the annual celebration.

In modern China, watching the gala is still a traditional way to celebrate Chinese lunar New Year. However, the Gala seems to be suffering from declining rates of audience over the past few years. Actually, the Gala is never the only option any more when competing with several local televisions, which provide better possible choices. In addition, it is criticized that the traditional items of the Gala fail to appeal to people’s changing appetite, particularly the younger generation. Although the famous stars from Hong Kong and Taiwan are highly expected to add some freshness and modern elements to the performance, the Gala are still somewhat disappointing, far away from splendid. Consequently, the Gala is advocated to be cancelled due to its declination of reputation as well as the stereotyped content.

From my point of view, the Spring Festival Gala on CCTV should be still reserved because it is really good at creating a very colorful holiday atmosphere. Besides, it does have at least one or two excellent performance every year some of which become indelible memories. If the Gala can be redesigned to enrich its performance further, it will get away from being mediocre. But it is unnecessary to expect achieving its previous success. After all, the time has changed.

Happy New Year Party

On Happy New Years Eve，our class had a party. The atmosphere was good. It was out of the ordinary from the very begining. The boy student from one bedroom gave an unusual performance. We saw a boy named Li Xinmin turn off all the lights in a sudden snap. Then with three resounding(响亮的) crow of a cock echoing in the hall，the hall was again brightly lit in a snap.

Then，the representative of the bedroom Zhu Guozhang asked us to guess a line of a poem related to the above situation. He added that Li Xinmin alone was born in the year of the dog and the other three were all born in the year of the chicken. They left us all in confusion. And it was our monitor who was quickwitted(机智的). He shouted our， "The day breaks as the cock crows three times at dawn." The hall After that，they had another item. This time Li Xinmin was placed in the middle of the circle. While he was standing there，the other three stood around him，each bowing down to him at an angle of 120 degrees. It was an idiom. This time I got it right："The dog stands out among a group of chickens."

Chinese New Year starts with the new moon on the first day of the new year

and ends on the the full days later. In china,people regard Spring Festival as

the most important thing.People studied and worked throughout the year.No matter

how far and how busy, they must do their best to go back home.Thats a tradition

and now becoming a habit. During this time,transport is extremely busy.Although

the way is difficult,it cant reduce the urgent feeling of going home.I cant

describe this feeling,only the people that experienced it can

understand.Actually,on one hand,people miss their family,and they need to get

comfort in the family.On the other hand,getting together is a symbol of

blessedness and auspiciousness.People in other country dont have this

consciousness that going home is necessary.For example,American could celebrate

the Christmas in everywhere they like or with anybody.This diversity is

occasioned by different culture between two countries.

On Spring festivals eve,the whole family prepare the dinner.Of

course,dumplings is essential.In the

evening,family members always sit at the television and watch Spring

Festival Gala.At 0:00,people set off firecrackers and fireworks,at the same

time,children pay New Year,s call to old people.The old people give money to the

children as a lunar new year gift.Usually,people stay up late or all night.

On lunar New Years Day, the Chinese family eat vegetarian dumplings which

imply they will plain and neat in this year. People change their new

clothes,this stands for a new beginning.Next,people visit relatives with some

gifts.The second day is son-in-laws festival,the husband and married women

visit their side of the family.In a word,Chinese attach great importance to

Spring Festival.

[描写过年的英语日记

From then on, the tradition of observing the conquest of Nian is carried on  from generation to generation. The term "Guo Nian", which may mean "Survive the  Nian" becomes today "Celebrate the (New) Year" as the word "guo" in Chinese  having both the meaning of "pass-over" and "observe". The custom of putting up  red paper and firing fire-crackers to scare away Nian should it have a chance to  run loose is still around. However, people today have long forgotten why they  are doing all this, except that they feel the color and the sound add to the  excitement of the celebration.

There is also a huge difference between Chinese and Western people. Chinese people use chopsticks and western people use fork and knife. Usually people who use fork and knife will use fork to hold the meat and cut it by knife and use fork to help to get that piece of meat into mouse. Chinese just use chopstick to pick things and pass it into your mouse.

Chinese people only have three meals during a day. But western people will have more, they have afternoon tea. Usually they would have fruits, homemade cake, tea (black tea) or biscuit with cheese. If you are a housewife and have a lot of time, you may have morning tea as well.

Spring Festival ,known as the Chinese New Year,is the most important holiday in China.From late January to early February,Chinese people are busy preparing for the New Year.They clean their houses ,have their hair cut,and buy new clothes .Jiaozi or dumpling is most popular.To those who live far away from their home,this festival is also a framily reunion occasion.

And they often go back home to celebrate the festival with their family.The first day of the new year is the time when people visit their friends adn wish each other good luck in the new year.

My plan of next year

A new year ，a new start，when I stand on the edge of a new year，I cant help thinking about my plan of next year.

Just as the old saying：“Well began is the half of the success.”So I decide that I should be at work while the others are still relaxing ，and then ，at the beginning ，Im quicker than the others and of course I will get better result than the others.

But ，what I really decide to do is that I must make good of anytime I can spare though it seems impossible. While，I will do my best to live up with what I have planned，and the result will prove it.

The Spring Festival is an ancient holiday in China, is also one of the most important festival in a year. In the development of Chinese one thousand years of history, there were some relatively fixed customs handed down. For example, sweeping dust, paste couplets, stick grilles, (" f "word, draw pictures and shou sui, etc.

"Lunar 24, dusted off sweep the house", the "spring and autumn annals" recorded in ancient books, in our country, in the era of rao have customs to sweep the dust during the Spring Festival, in addition, sweep the dust and except Chen Bu "new" means.

Also called Spring Festival couplets couplet, peach wood charms against evil, it with dual, delicate words express the desire of the beautiful, is our Chinas unique literary form. The Spring Festival to stick couplets on the Spring Festival this custom originated in the song dynasty, this part is divided into Spring Festival couplets, bottom allied and horizontal batch.

"F" word, refers to the blessing, good fortune, the Spring Festival is stuck "f" word to express a blessing of relatives and friends. But in order to more fully reflect the blessing, people simply put the "fu" character topsy-turvy stick, said "f" fall ".

Now, put the Spring Festival pictures in urban and rural areas is very common, black heavy variety of pictures for every family to a prosperous and happy festive scene. Collection in our country the earliest newyearpicture is the southern song dynasty of the sui dynasty and graceful in tilting the ground of woodcut New Year pictures, pictures is her temple, zhao swallow, class and green beads four ancient beauties.

Here Ill send you a pair of couplets: "fireworks shine the sky, colorful celebrate New Years eve, Jin Longteng earth, thronged celebrate auspicious year"!

春节是我国一个古老的节日，也是一年中最重要的一个节日。在中国千百年的历史发展中，还有一些较为固定的风俗习惯相传至今。比如，扫尘、贴春联、贴窗花、倒贴“福”字、画年画和守岁等等。

“腊月二十四，掸尘扫房子”，在古书《吕氏春秋》中记载，我国在尧舜时代就有春节扫尘的风俗习惯了，此外，扫尘还有“除陈布新”的含义。

春联也叫对联、桃符，它以对偶、精巧的文字抒发美好的愿望，是我们中国独特的文学形式。春节贴春联这一习俗起源于宋代，春联分为上联、下联和横批。

“福”字，指的是福气、福运，春节贴“福”字是为了表达对亲朋好友的一种祝福。可是为了更充分地体现这种祝福，人们干脆把“福”字倒过来贴，表示“福‘倒’了”。

现在春节挂贴年画在城乡已很是普遍，浓黑重彩的年画给家家户户带去了兴旺和欢乐的喜庆场面。我国收藏最早的年画是南宋《隋朝窈窕呈倾国之芳容》的木刻年画，画的是王昭君、赵飞燕、班姬和绿珠四位古代美人。

在此我再送大家一副对联：“焰火耀长空，色彩斑斓欢度除夕度，金龙腾大地，人声鼎沸喜迎吉祥年”!

According to the home of old rules, the Spring Festival is almost started from the twelfth month.

Laba day, people will drink laba rice porridge. Laba rice porridge to drink, it has a longan, pearl barley, wheat, glutinous rice, mung beans, red beans, kidney beans, peanuts.

People go to work or work outside, we must come back, eat family reunion dinner. The night people have shou sui.

On the first day of sight is not the same. People will go out to happy New Year, is generally less to elder happy New Year, the children will get much more special New Years money, some children will buy toys, also some will save money, buy school things in the future.

The Lantern Festival, the supermarket was particularly busy, people buy yuanxiao home cooked, so the family reunion, sweet.

By December 16, the hometown of the Spring Festival will be over, people began to busy life.

按照家乡的老规矩，过春节差不多从腊月就开始了。

腊八这天，人们要喝腊八粥。腊八粥可好喝了，它里面有桂圆、苡米、麦片、糯米、绿豆、红豆、芸豆、花生。

我们家乡春节别有一番风味，从春节前几天到正月十五，每天都很精彩。

春节前几天，家家都很忙，即使是在贫困的家庭里，这几天也要买很多东西。大人们要买过年的吃的、穿的、喝得、用的——店铺多数过年不开门。小孩子就首先要买爆竹。等到万事俱备，之欠东风时，就盼着春节到来了。

“爆竹声中一岁除，春风送暖入屠苏”,人们盼呀盼终于把春节给盼来了。春节真热闹。大家都要穿新衣，还要贴红红的的对联和吉祥的年画。中午要吃团圆饭，在吃团圆饭前，还要放鞭炮，那天除了万不得已，都要赶回家吃这顿饭。

吃完团圆饭，除夕夜也悄悄地来了。我们这里除夕要守岁，虽然不用守一整夜，但不过十二点不能睡觉。午夜时分，家家都要“除天行”，也就是要放鞭炮，放礼花。漆黑的天空一下子变得亮了起来，好像白天一样，鞭炮声震耳欲聋，经久不绝古老的小镇便洋溢在浓浓的节日氛围中。

正月初一的早上家家都要吃饺子，饺子也叫“元宝”预示着招财进宝。街道也不像以前那样人来人往，车水马龙但不时从门缝里飘出的饭菜香味和人们的欢声笑语诉说着人们的幸福美满。

正月初二要给自己的长辈和亲戚拜年，去时一般会带上一些礼品，表达祝福之意。

Spring Festival is the most important festival for Chinese people. The Spring Festival is very exciting, especially on the eve of the Spring Festival.

春节对于中国人来说是最重要的节日。在每年的春节都让人兴高采烈，尤其是大年三十那晚，更是达到了高潮。

The Spring Festival lasts for 15 days, there would be starting on the first day, to the end of the January 15 Lantern Festival.it is the busiest time of the year for Chinese people. The arrangements they have to make for family reunions， buying necessities and preparing food keeps them busy throughout the holiday. Many of them travel back home and meet friends over dinner and drinks. The celebrations include decorating the house and setting off fireworks.But we are talking about a tradition that seems to be fading.

春节一共有15天，从大年初一开始，到元月十五元宵节这一天结束。在这段比较长的时间是中国人最忙的时候，他们为家庭聚会作安排，采购年货，准备丰盛的食物，以至于整个春节假期都忙忙碌碌的。许多人在春季期间都要回老家过年，跟朋友碰碰头，聚个餐。庆祝春节也包括大扫除和放烟火。但是我们现在要谈的是越来越淡的年味。

Spring Festival， as it is celebrated today， has undergone many changes， thanks to the country‘s economic development and globalization.

现在的春节已经因为我国经济的发展和全球化的影响而改变了很多。

Yet no Spring Festival is complete without food. People could not get good food whenever they desired in earlier times， something that does not apply to society today. More often than not， people faced the risk of famine. The best time for people to celebrate was when food was available in plenty， and that was possible in spring， or the beginning of the lunar new year. That was the main reason why Spring Festival acquired such great importance among Chinese people.

但是没有哪个春节是完全离得开“吃”的。从前，不论人们提前多久想要买年货，总是不能如愿，而现在早已今非昔比。过去常常还要闹饥荒。人们最好的庆祝时间就是他们能得到食物丰盛的时候，也就是春天或是元月初的那段时间。那也是为什么春节对于中国人如此重要的主要原因。

But three decades of economic growth has ensured that people in China， except for those who are still poor， can enjoy a good meal whenever they want. Such has been the change in people‘s fortune that some have to be treated for obesity and other health problems associated with excessive eating.

但是三十年来的经济发展已经让中国人，除了那些仍然穷苦的人以外，随时都能享受美食。这得益于人民财富的增长，但是后者也导致一些人吃得太多而受到肥胖威胁和健康问题。

In the past， celebrations were limited to events like song-and-dance duets in North China， dragon/lion dances in South China and fireworks， which required the joint efforts of the entire community. But economic development and urbanization seems to have weakened the social links among people. Many， especially those living in cities， are not interested in celebrating the festival with people they hardly know.

在过去，庆祝春节还只停留在北方的二人转和南方的舞龙舞狮等形式。那些庆祝活动往往需要许多人合力才能办得起来。但是经济的发展和国际化程度的提升似乎已经将这种社会联系弱化了。许多人，特别是城市居民，不太愿意与不相识的人一起共度春节。

Many customs associated with Spring Festival have changed， too. In the past， people used to visit relatives and friends with gifts and lots of good wishes. Today， many people， especially the youth， use their cell phones or the Internet to send their good wishes and even "gifts" to their relatives and friends. Some may say this a sign that people have become less caring about their near and dear ones， but we should see this development as a time- and energy-saving exercise granted by the information age.

与春节相关的许多习俗也被改变了。在过去，人们常常会带着礼物走亲访友，互道祝福。今天许多人，特别是年轻人，用手机或是网络向亲朋好友发去“礼物”和祝福。有些人或许会说，这说明人们已经没有那么关心至爱亲朋了，但是我们应该把这种变化看作信息化时代省钱省力的好办法。
