第一篇:中国的传统佳节
农历五月初五是中国的传统佳节。端午节又可以叫端阳节,传说那天是中国古代伟大诗人屈原抱石投江的日子。那天爱国诗人屈原听到自己的国家快要灭亡的消息后,悲愤交加、心如刀割,抱起一块石头,纵身跳入江河里。
人们为了纪念屈原每到端午节时,大家就划着船把饭投进江里,可是后来他们发现投入江里的米饭全被鱼吃了。于是,人们就想了一个办法,就是把米放在一种长长的叶子里包成四个角的形状,鱼见了以为是菱角,因为菱角有尖尖的刺,鱼就不敢再吃了。
直到现在,人们一到端午节就吃粽子、赛龙舟来纪念伟大的爱国诗人屈原。外婆也会把长长的、青青的艾条挂在家门口。我最爱吃的就是大肉粽了,特别是高速公路上的绍兴服务区卖的“诸老大”粽子,味道非常鲜美,让我回味无穷。
欢天喜地过春节
每年的正月初一是春节,俗称“过年”。它是我国最重要、最隆重的传统节日,也是个辞旧迎新的日子,它意味着漫长而严寒的冬天“回”家去了,而春暖花开的春天回归大地,多么令人高兴呀!人们自然要载歌载舞地迎接春节。
春节前,人们络绎不绝地到市场去。这是为什么呢?原来,人们去人山人海的市场办年货。每个人的篮子装得满满的,有开心果、泡泡糖、花生、瓜子、糖等食品,有鸭、鸡、鹅、鱼、肉等菜,有烟、酒、巧克力等礼物。虽然篮子沉甸甸的,但是每人却乐得合不拢嘴。在家里,我们七手八脚地忙个不停。爸爸手拿扫把,脚踩凳子,把天花板上的蜘蛛网上上下下扫得干干净净。妈妈把抹布打湿,使劲擦着窗户。窗户像明亮的大镜子。我忙着贴春联。红红的纸上写着“合家欢乐”、“财源滚滚”等金光闪闪的大字。有的家门口还挂着大大的红灯笼,显得喜气洋洋。
大年三十,爸爸妈妈在厨房里忙个不停,不一会儿,一桌香喷喷的饭菜就摆在面前。鸡鸭鱼肉,应有尽有。叔叔拿起一杯酒,说:“让我们为明年的日子更红火而干杯!”“好好„„”饭桌上飘荡着一阵阵笑声。团圆饭过后,大家围坐在一起看一年一度的春节晚会。里面有滑稽的小品,风趣的相声,优美的歌舞等,一个个精彩的节目逗得我们哈哈大笑。“铛--铛--”新年的钟声敲响了,各家各户噼里啪啦地放起了鞭炮,鞭炮声震耳欲聋。最快乐的要算孩子们了!孩子对着引火线一点,“砰,”“小子弹”逃到自己家去了,又“砰”,花穗散开了,有的像小鸟飞向天空„„
就这样,我们又迎来了新的一年。啊,多么喜气的春节!
快乐的春节
有一天,妈妈对我说:“孩子,马上就是正月初一过春节了,我们得好好的准备准备,你和我一起去商场办年货吧!。”“呀,终于要过年啰!”我兴奋得跳起来,我早就盼着这一天的到来,因为它是一年中最热闹、喜气的时候。我和妈妈走进商场,看见商场里人山人海,个个笑容满面。商场里的商品琳琅满目、应有尽有。我和妈妈买了瓜子、花生等各种食品,鸡鸭鱼肉等各种菜和名烟名酒等。一回到家,妈妈忙着打扫蜘蛛网。爸爸抹灰尘、扫地。哥哥拿来一张红纸,剪成长方形,然后用毛笔在纸上写字,一幅吉祥、喜气的对联写好了,我忙把它贴在门联上。姐姐在门外挂起了迎新的大红灯笼。
晚上,爸爸妈妈在厨房里忙个不停,准备团年饭。一阵香味就从厨房里传过来,使我口水直流。奶奶看出了我馋嘴的模样,说:“开始吃饭!”我迫不及待地坐下,夹了一个鸡腿,津津有味地吃了起来。大家围坐在一起,吃着美味佳肴,谈论着一年的收获,举杯说着祝福的话,其乐融融。吃完饭后,我们一起观看一年一度的春节联欢晚会。优美的歌曲、舞蹈等节目让我们目不转睛,风趣的小品、相声逗得我们哈哈大笑。只听“当——当——当——”新年的钟声敲响了,新的一年又来了,我们欢呼着。只听“噼呖啪啦”的声音,我打开门一看,原来他们在放花炮,我拖着爸爸的手,说:“我也要放花炮!”“好呀!”爸爸对我说。我连忙到家里也拿了几根花炮,走出家门。开始放花炮了,我拿着一根花炮,爸爸用打火机一点,只听“呯”的一声,“噼呖叭啦”五颜六色的花升上天空,有的像绽开的花朵,有的像一把大花伞。有的像小鸟在天空中自由的飞翔,还有的„„它们颜色也不一样呢!有红色、有紫色、有黄色、还有„„把夜空点缀得五彩缤纷,绚丽多彩,美丽极了。
正月初一的早晨,我对爷爷说:“祝您长命百岁,寿比南山。”爷爷乐得白胡子一颤一颤的,连忙递给我一个大红包。
春节有丰盛的晚餐、精彩的联欢晚会。在这热闹的气氛中,我进入了梦乡,盼望着下一个春节的来临。
春节记事
刚放寒假,爸爸妈妈就说:“现在就要准备过年了。”我问爸爸什么是过年?爸爸说:“每年的正月初一就是春节,我们称为‘过年’。这是个辞旧迎新的日子,大家都非常重视,也是一年当中最热闹的时候。”我最喜欢热闹了,天天盼着春节赶快到来。
春节终于快到了,妈妈带我到商场去采购年货。走进商场,我发现商品琳琅满目,顾客川流不息,到处人山人海。妈妈选购了各种各样的商品,篮子都快装不下了。回家后,我们没来得及休息一下,全家人就马上行动起来“扫尘”。有的用长扫把把墙上的灰尘、蜘蛛网打扫干净;有的拿拖把拖地板;有的在拿抹布抹护栏、窗户等。扫完后,爸爸又把春联贴在门楣上,看着春联上金光闪闪的“和气生财”,我感觉家里焕然一新,喜气洋洋。
大年三十的中午,要吃团圆饭了。桌上摆放着黄金鱼头、口味鸡、口味蛇等,各种各样的菜应有尽有。晚上,要看春节联欢晚会了,我连忙打开电视机收看,里面有小品、舞蹈、相声。精彩极了,我们笑得前俯后仰。过了十二点钟,新年的钟声终于敲响了,“咚„„咚„„”新的一年来到了,大家互相祝福。我和爸爸妈妈一起去放鞭炮、烟火。刚到门口,就听到了震耳欲聋的声音。我拿着火炮,心里有点紧张,生怕火会烧掉自己。爸爸开始点引火线了,我眯着眼睛,牢牢的抓住火炮,只听“砰“的一声,闪着金光的火花就蹿上了天,又听“砰“的一声,五颜六色的火花穗就散开了,就像凌空翱翔的小鸟展开了翅膀向美丽的夜空飞去,不知不觉消失了。
正月初一的早晨,我穿上爸爸给我买的新衣服去拜年。我来到外婆家,说:“祝外婆长命百岁。”外婆听了笑眯眯的,连忙往我口袋里塞了一个早已准备好的大红包,我心里乐滋滋的。
新的一年又来到了,希望这一年过得更加美好!
开开心心过春节
每年的正月初一是春节,俗称“过年”,是我国最重要的节日。
早上,我们一家人都来到了超市来买商品,你拥我挤,手忙脚乱。我们买了又香又脆的开心果,大肚子的花生等食物,买了绿油油的白菜,金黄的玉米„„还买了好玩的汽车,好看的童话书等一些小礼物。回家以后,我们急急忙忙地打扫卫生,使家里亮堂堂的。家家户户门上还贴上了喜气洋洋的对联,挂上了红红的灯笼。
大年三十到了,我们一家人围在一起吃团圆饭,桌上摆满了香喷喷的饭,满身都是金银珠宝的玉米„„我看着应有尽有的饭菜,就迫不及待地拿起筷子吃。饭菜吃完了,我们一家人目不转睛的盯着电视机看,那精彩的节目像一个个小精灵,帮我们洗刷烦恼。新年钟声敲响了,我们来到了阳台上,点起花炮,轰!花炮一下飞上了天空。有的像一个大盆子,有的像一只美丽的蝴蝶„„
正月初一的早晨,我们一家人穿着新衣服去拜年,我对爷爷奶奶说:“祝您俩长命百岁。”爷爷奶奶笑得合不拢嘴,从口袋里拿出了红包递给我。我对阿姨说:“阿姨,您今天真漂亮!”阿姨笑咪咪的,从包里拿出一个大红包说:“这是我特地给你准备的礼物。”我接过红包说:“谢谢阿姨。”我对叔叔说:“叔叔,您真是越来越年青了。”叔叔笑着说:“你呀!嘴巴越来越甜了。”说着叔叔拿出一个红包双手递给我,我接过红包说:“叔叔,您对我真好。”
春节真是个热闹、喜气的节日。
春节
每年的正月初一是春节,俗称“过年”,是我国最重要、最隆重的节日。为什么呢?奶奶告诉我:“春节是个辞旧迎新的节日,意味着生机勃勃的春天又要来了,人们又可以播种等待着丰收,是一个让人充满希望的节日!所以要高高兴兴地迎接新年的到来。”
春节前,大家忙得不可开交。我和妈妈来到步步高买菜、礼物、食品等。只见步步高人山人海,商品琳琅满目、应有尽有。我和妈妈用车子推着选购的商品去付账,可是队伍犹如长龙,足足等了半个小时。我和妈妈走出了商场的门口,依然还是听到里面传来一阵又一阵的笑声,热闹极了!第二天,该扫尘了,妈妈拿着拖把拖地,奶奶用长扫把墙上的蜘蛛网打扫干净,爸爸和爷爷在贴春联,我在挂灯笼。不一会儿,家里就焕然一新,显得喜气洋洋。
大年三十,我们一家围坐在一起,有说有笑地吃着团年饭。吃完饭后,当然不能错过那一年一度的春节晚会。我最喜欢的是风趣幽默的小品和相声,常常使我笑得前俯后仰。“当!当!”新年的钟声敲响了,大人忙着放鞭炮,响声震耳欲聋;我们小孩子忙着放花炮,把夜空打扮得五彩缤纷、千姿百态。
正月初一的早上,我们穿着新衣服高高兴兴地去给长辈们拜年。回来时,我口袋里的红包都装不下啦!
春节真是一个热闹、喜气洋洋的节日,我期待着下一个春节赶快来临。
我感兴趣的传统节日中最喜欢的是春节,因为它是中国民间最隆重的传统节日。
在农历正月初一,又叫阴历年,俗称“过年”,“新年”。
每年过年,街上挂满了红红的灯笼,彩旗飘飘。商场是人山人海,购买年货,可热闹了。
奶奶准备了丰盛的食物,外面有许多“砰、砰、砰”的鞭炮声。每个小朋友都穿上了漂亮的新衣服,大人们露出了满意的笑容。爸爸给我买了许多礼花和鞭炮,到了晚上,我就拿出礼花下楼和小朋友一起放,我们玩得非常高兴,到了晚会开始,我才恋恋不舍地回家,与家人一起一边吃水果一边观看晚会,精彩的表演把我们逗得哈哈大笑,心想:要是天天都过年该多好啊!
我还喜欢过“重阳节”,农历9月9日,是中国的一个古老的传统佳节——重阳节。
重阳节,又称“老人节”。重阳这一天,人们赏菊花,佩带茱萸,携酒上山,畅游欢愉。这一天放学,我和爸爸妈妈准备了一份礼物去看望爷爷奶奶,我心中非常开心,因为我明白尊老爱幼是我们中华的传统美德。
“元宵节”也让我难忘。每年农历的正月十五日,春节刚过,迎来的就是中国的传统节日元宵节,这一天我们也放了许多烟花,还吃了元宵,猜了灯谜,还到公园里观了灯。一家团团圆圆,那时的我心中充满无比的幸福和欢乐。
中国的传统节日真是丰富多彩,它是中国的文化。我了解的传统节日还有:端午节、清明、七夕节、中秋节等。这些传统节日同样给我们带来了欢乐和幸福,所以我们要记住这些节日,并永远继承下去。
中国的传统文化更是光辉灿烂的古代文化,作为我们新一代要加强学习,大力弘扬中国的这些传统文化

三年级中国传统文化作文——春节
中国有许多传统的节日,比如春节、元宵节、清明节、端午节、中秋节等,但我最喜欢的就要属过年了。每到春节,家家户户喜贴春联,敲锣打鼓,张灯结彩,辞旧迎新的活动热闹非凡,每一个人的脸上都洋溢着节日的喜悦。但你知道吗,过年为什么会有这些喜庆的活动呢?这里面有着一个美妙的神话故事,现在让我给你讲一讲吧!
相传,中国古时候有一种叫“年”的怪兽,头长触角,凶猛无比。“年”长年深居海底,每到除夕才爬上岸,吞食牲畜,伤害人命。因此,每到除夕这天,村村寨寨的人们都要扶老携幼逃往深山,以躲避“年”兽的伤害。
这一年的除夕,桃花村的人们正准备扶老携幼上山避难。这时从村外来了个乞讨的老人,当时全村的乡亲们正在收拾行装,谁也没心关照这位乞讨的老人。只有村东头的一位老婆婆走过去给了他一点粮食说:“快逃吧!年兽快要来了。”老伯伯笑着说:“婆婆如果让我在你家呆一夜,我一定能把„年'兽赶走。”老婆婆继续劝说他,乞讨老人笑而不语。婆婆无奈,只有撇下他,上山避难去了。
半夜时分,“年”兽闯进村。它发现村里气氛与往年不同:只见村东头老婆婆家里,门贴大红纸,屋内烛火通明。“年”兽浑身一抖,怪叫了一声,便向老婆婆家扑了过去。快到门口时,院内突然传来“劈里啪啦”的炸响声,“年”吓坏了,就再也不敢往前走了。原来“年”最怕红色、火光和炸响。这时,婆婆的家门大开,只见院内一位身披红袍的老人在哈哈大笑。“年”大惊失色,狼狈逃窜了。
第二天是正月初一,避难回来的人们见村里安然无恙,十分惊奇。这时老婆婆才恍然大悟,赶忙向乡亲们述说了乞讨老人的许诺。于是,乡亲们一起拥向老婆婆家,只见婆婆家门上贴着红纸,院里一堆未燃尽的竹子仍在“啪啪”作响,屋内几根红蜡烛还发着余光……欣喜若狂的乡亲们为庆祝吉祥的来临,纷纷换新衣戴新帽,到亲友家道喜问好。这件事很快在周围村子传开了,人们都知道了驱赶“年”兽的办法
从此以后,每到除夕,家家贴红对联,燃放爆竹,户户烛光通明,守更待岁。初一一大早,还要走亲串友道喜问好。后来这风俗越传越广,逐渐成了中华民族最隆重的传统节日。
过年的习俗除了上面所说的外,还有很多,比如:贴窗花,贴年画,吃饺子,压岁钱等。我最喜欢和小朋友一起放鞭炮,晚上我早早的吃过年夜饭,就拿着鞭炮就朝门外奔去。伴随着我们的欢呼声,一个个烟花飞到了空中,点亮了美丽的天空。还有一个传统也是我们最喜欢的了,那就是春节,我们都会收到长辈们给我们的红包,预示着来年我们都会顺顺利利的过着每一天。
“过新年,穿新衣,开开心心过大年……”我们唱着欢乐的歌谣,迎接新的一年来到。
中国传统文化——剪纸
这是一个美好的早晨,我们教室中出现了许多精美的作品,有美丽的中国结,有远近闻名的书法,有细致的刻纸,还有雄伟的东塔的照片。这些作品让我感受到了丰富多彩的中华传统文化。我最喜欢的是骏马图,那马儿像在草原上飞奔,尾巴一甩一甩的,非常美丽!更有趣的是弥勒佛,他有着元宝一样的肚脐眼,手抱着头大笑。他的肚子大大的,里面可装着一条大袋子。俗话说:“容天下难容之事,笑天下可笑之人。”这可真搞笑。还有年年有余的中国结,鱼的鳞片金灿灿的,尾巴也是一样。还有一个金元宝。祖国可
真好!我爱祖国的灿烂文化!
附:剪纸
剪纸,又叫刻纸,窗花或剪画。区别在创作时,有的用剪子,有的用刻刀,虽然工具有别,但创作出来的艺术作品基本相同,人们统称为剪纸。剪纸是一种镂空艺术,其在视觉上给人以透空的感觉和艺术享受。其载体可以是纸张、金银箔、树皮、树叶、布、皮、革等片状材料。
第二篇:Chinese festival中国传统佳节英文介绍(本站推荐)
Chinese Valentine's Day(七巧节)
Raise your head on August 19 and gaze at the stars, you will find something romantic going on in the sky.VALENTINE'S Day in China, the seventh day of the seventh lunar month, falls on August 19 this year.That is, on Sunday evening, Niu Lang and Zhi Nu will meet on a bridge of magpies(鹊桥)across the Milky Way(银河).Chinese grannies will remind children that they would not be able to see any magpies on that evening because all the magpies have left to form a bridge in the heavens with their wings.Chinese ceremonies
The seventh day of the seventh lunar month is the only Chinese festival devoted to love in the Lunar calendar.Unlike St.Valentine's Day in Western countries there is not so much emphasis on giving chocolates, flowers and kisses.Instead, Chinese girls prepare fruits, melons and incense(熏香)as offerings to Zhi Nu, the weaving maiden, praying to acquire high skills in needlecraft(裁缝), as well as hoping to find satisfactory husbands.In the evening, people sit outdoors to observe the stars.Chinese grannies would say that, if you stand under a grapevine, you can probably overhear what Zhi Nu and Niu Lang are talking about.Hungry Ghost Festival(中元节)The 14th and 15th of the seventh lunar month Unlike other celebrations of the dead in Eastern cultures that seek to honor dead ancestors, the Hungry Ghost Festival seeks to pacify the hungry ghosts, the ghosts of strangers and the un-cared-for dead.These are the ghosts of those who died by their own hands, by accidents, by drowning or hanging who have been denied entry into heaven.Angry because they are forced to dwell in hell without food or comfort, when released, they search for souls to take their place in misery.The most important days of this month are the 14th and 15th, the days of the great feasts.On the 14th, a great feast would be held to honor family ancestors.Prayers and offerings would be made at family altars.On the following night, the 15th, they would feast for the hungry ghosts.Held outside under the full moon, these feasts feed the evil spirits so that they will leave the living alone and bribe(贿赂)the ancestors for luck with money and the harvest.Chong Yang Festival重阳节
The 9th day of September in the lunar calendar is “the Chinese Chong Yang Festival” and a happy occasion in autumn.According to the traditional theory of “Yin” and “Yang”, both the 9th month and the 9th day of the month belong to “Yang”, which means positive and masculine, and “Chong” means double, thus it is called “Chong Yang”.People often gather for a party, appreciate chrysanthemums, pin the leaves of Cornus on clothes.And the custom of climbing mountains and eating a special cake also features the day.In the golden September, chrysanthemum blooms, reminding people of the folktale.And later a special cake with dates, chestnuts and meat was made to add more festivity to the special day.Winter solstice(冬至)
Winter solstice is a very important solar term in Chinese Lunar calendar.Being a traditional holiday as well, it is still now celebrated quite often in many regions.Early during the Spring and Autumn period, 2500 odd years from now, Winter solsticewas first determined as the Chinese traditional solar term among the total 24 terms.In Gregorian calendar, it is around Dec 22nd or 23rd.Ancient china did pay great attention to this holiday, regarding it as a big event.There was the saying that “Winter solstice holiday is greater than the spring festival”.Nowadays, many regions still celebrate it as a big holiday.Northerners may have dumplings and raviolis that day while southerners may have dumplings made by rice and long noodles.Some places even have the tradition to offer sacrifices to the heaven and earth.Spring Festival(春节)
The New Moon on the first day of the new year--the full moon 15 days later Chinese New Year starts with the New Moon(新月)on the first day of the new year and ends on the full moon(满月)15 days later.The 15th day of the new year is called the Lantern Festival(元宵节), which is celebrated at night with lantern displays and children carrying lanterns in a parade.The Origin of Chinese New Year The Chinese New Year is now popularly known as the Spring Festival because it starts from the Begining of Spring(the first of the twenty-four terms in coodination with the changes of Nature).Its origin is too old to be traced.Several explanations are hanging around.All agree, however, that the word Nian, which in modern Chinese solely means “year”, was originally the name of a monster beast that started to prey on people the night before the beginning of a new year.Traditional New Year Foods Probably more food is consumed during the New Year celebrations than any other time of the year.Vast amounts of traditional food is prepared for family and friends, as well as those close to us who have died.On New Year's Day, the Chinese family will eat a vegetarian dish called jai.Although the various ingredients in jai are root vegetables or fibrous vegetables, many people attribute various superstitious aspects to them.Other foods include a whole fish, to represent togetherness and abundance, and a chicken for prosperity.The chicken must be presented with a head, tail and feet to symbolize completeness.Noodles should be uncut, as they represent long life.In south China, the favorite and most typical dishes were nian gao, sweet steamed glutinous rice(糯米)pudding and zong zi(glutinous rice wrapped up in reed(芦苇)leaves), another popular delicacy.In the north, steamed-wheat bread(man tou)and small meat dumplings were the preferred food.The tremendous amount of food prepared at this time was meant to symbolize abundance and wealth for the household.Lantern Festival元宵
The 15th day of the 1st lunar month is the Chinese Lantern Festival because the first lunar month is called yuan-month and in the ancient times people called night Xiao.The 15th day is the first night to see a full moon.So the day is also called Yuan Xiao Festival in China.According to the Chinese tradition, at the very beginning of a new year, when there is a bright full moon hanging in the sky, there should be thousands of colorful lanterns hung out for people to appreciate.At this time, people will try to solve the puzzles on the lanterns and eat yuanxiao(glutinous rice ball)and get all their families united in the joyful atmosphere.Besides entertainment and beautiful lanterns, another important part of the Lantern Festival,or Yuanxiao Festival is eating small dumpling balls made of glutinous rice flour.We call these balls Yuanxiao or Tangyuan.Obviously, they get the name from the festival itself.It is said that the custom of eating Yuanxiao originated during the Eastern Jin Dynasty in the fourth centuty, then became popular during the Tang and Song periods.The fillings inside the dumplings or Yuansiao are either sweet or salty.Sweet fillings are made of sugar, Walnuts(胡桃), sesame, osmanthus flowers(桂花), rose petals, sweetened tangerine peel, bean paste, or jujube paste(枣泥).A single ingredient or any combination can be used as the filling.The salty variety is filled with minced meat, vegetables or a mixture.The way to make Yuanxiao also varies between northern and southern China.The usual method followed in southern provinces is to shape the dough of rice flour into balls, make a hole, insert the filling, then close the hole and smooth out the dumpling by rolling it between your hands.In North China, sweet or nonmeat stuffing is the usual ingredient.The fillings are pressed into hardened cores, dipped lightly in water and rolled in a flat basket containing dry glutinous rice flour.A layer of the flour sticks to the filling, which is then again dipped in water and rolled a second time in the rice flour.And so it goes, like rolling a snowball, until the dumpling is the desired size.The custom of eating Yuanxiao dumplings remains.This tradition encourages both old and new stores to promote their Yuanxiao products.They all try their best to improve the taste and quality of the dumplings to attract more customers.Qing Ming(Tomb Sweeping Day)
Celebrated two weeks after the vernal equinox, Tomb Sweeping Day is one of the few traditional Chinese holidays that follows the solar calendar--typically falling on April 4, 5, or 6.Its Chinese name “Qing Ming” literally means “Clear Brightness,” hinting at its importance as a celebration of Spring.Similar to the spring festivals of other cultures, Tomb Sweeping Day celebrates the rebirth of nature, while marking the beginning of the planting season and other outdoor activities.The Tomb Sweeping Day as Celebrated Today With the passing of time, this celebration of life became a day to the honor past ancestors.Following folk religion, the Chinese believed that the spirits of deceased ancestors looked after the family.Sacrifices of food and spirit money could keep them happy, and the family would prosper through good harvests and more children.Today, Chinese visit their family graves to tend to any underbrush that has grown.Weeds are pulled, and dirt swept away, and the family will set out offerings of food and spirit money.Unlike the sacrifices at a family's home altar, the offerings at the tomb usually consist of dry, bland food.One theory is that since any number of ghosts rome around a grave area, the less appealing food will be consumed by the ancestors, and not be plundered by strangers.Duan Wu Festival The 5th day of the 5th month of the lunar year is an important day for the Chinese people.The day is called Duan Wu Festival, or Dragon Boat Festival, celebrated everywhere in China.The customs vary a lot in different areas of the country, but most of the families would hang the picture of Zhong Kui(a ghost that can exorcise), calamus and moxa in their houses.People have Dragon Boat Races, eat Zong Zi(dumpling made of glutinous rice wrapped in bamboo or reed leaves)and carry a spice bag around with them.Dragon Boat Race The main event of the festivities is the Dragon Boat Race.These boats are long and thin with dragon heads on the bow of the ships.The boat races are said to represent the search for Qu's body, with racing boats in a forward rowing motion, to the rhythm of beating drums.The Culture of Zongzi Qu Yuan drowned on the fifth day of the fifth lunar month in 277 BC.Since ancient times, Chinese people threw into the water dumpling made of glutinous rice wrapped in bamboo or reed leaves on the day.Therefore the fish would eat the rice rather than the hero poet.This later on turned into the custom of eating Zong Zi.Realgar Wine It is a very popular practice to drink this kind of Chinese liquor seasoned with realgar at the Dragon Boat Festival.This is for protection from evil and disease for the rest of the year.
第三篇:支持中国传统佳节,抵制洋节
支持中国传统佳节,抵制洋节
每个人心中都有一幅最幸福的画卷。
它是那么的刻骨铭心,仿佛融入了血脉,深入了呼吸,随着你的心脏一起搏动,每一次总是在你的心底寄予最深的期待。
中国传统佳节,这个披着阳光,插上羽翼的小精灵,他是中国精神文明传承的梦,中国文化从这里荡漾开来。
这便是我心中最幸福的画卷。
五千年的日子古老了神秘的中原大地,五千年的日子魂牵梦绕了多情的中原大地,正是这片原野,孕育了中国多姿多彩的文化底蕴。-----中国传统佳节。
节日是人类社会生活的枢纽,是人类物质文明与精神文明的载体。历经千百年岁月沧桑的传统节日,更是一个民族成熟文明的缩影,它既体现着人与自然的关系,又反映着现实的人与人的联系。节日,是一个民族文化长期积淀的产物,是一个民族身份识别的象征之一,是一个民族自我认同的主要形式。每到异国他乡,人们若要想了解一个民族的风俗习惯、禀性习气,最好的方式就是观察、参与他们的节日活动。
中国的节日,它既是中国人长期不懈地探索自然规律的产物,包含着大量科学的天文、气象和物候知识,也是中华文明的哲学思想、审美意识和道德伦理在民俗风情上的集中体现。
翻开中国文化长卷,你可以看到:清明在自然规律中是万物复苏的节气,结合挂青祭祖的文化,端午则是纪念伟大爱国诗人屈原的节日,除夕便是万象跟新的节日。
但是现在很多年轻人盲目崇尚洋节,过着西方的情人节,忘记了我们的“七夕”,过着西方的父亲节,母亲节,忘记了我们的“重阳节”,把对传统佳节的选择性失忆当做是一种时尚,是时代的进步。
其实在西方,复活节,圣诞节是基督教宗教文化的集中体现,而非仅仅是目前国内一些年轻人为了追求所谓的快乐一个简单的日子。
节日,我们不能为过节而过节,而是要了解其中的哲学思想,文化内涵。你选择一个庆祝的节日,其中更深刻的内涵是对一种文化的认同,否则,则可以认为是随波逐流。民族认同感也是民族认同意识,即民族认同性。它是“同一民族的人感觉到大家是同属于一个人们共同体的自己人的这种心理”。而民族文化的觉醒,在物质文明高度发达的时代,我们更要关注文化的重塑,没有核心价值观和民族文化意识的国家是不可能成为有凝聚力,强大的国家的。
众所周知,圣诞节是有着强烈宗教色彩的节日,非基督教徒去欢庆它,说得轻些,就是随波逐流;说得重些,就是崇洋媚外。有人或许会说,我过西方节日,并没有认同他们的文化,也不是背叛我们的文化,只不过借这个机会乐一乐罢了。实则不然啊!文化的认同是如何发生的?不仅仅是在有意识的学习中,更关键的是在无意识的潜移默化中,就象看多了美国电影,你就会自然而然地觉得美国人是真理和正义的代表,是救世主的化身。道理就这么简单。
是不是我们中国的传统节日太少了,不够表情达意,不够营造欢乐?大错特错!世界上所有的民族,都没有我们中国人的节日丰富多彩,内涵深厚。你可曾在清明节时跟父母一起烧香拜祖?你可曾在端午节时亲手包一个情意浓浓的粽子?你可曾在重阳节时登高寄托对父母的思念?
中华民族源远流长,中华文化一脉相承、博大精深。简单举例,我们中国人自古以来就崇奉“天地国亲师”:天地造化我,国家护卫我,亲人养育我,老师教导我。千百年来,中华民族倾心信奉这个价值体系,围绕它建立了种种文化礼仪、典章制度、风俗习惯,历万世而不衰,成为我族安身立命之所在。
我们不是没有我们的儿童节,二月二,多么美好的记忆啊!
我们不是没有我们的情人节,七月七,多么感人的故事啊!
我们不是没有我们的老人节,九月九,多么吉祥的祝愿啊!
……
我们不是没有我们的节日,而是我们丧失了许许多多的记忆。我们不是没有我们的文化,而是我们丧失了太多太多的自信。

春风拂君门,吾自思友人!又逢元宵节,花灯喜迎春!浅斟一杯酒,遥举香可闻!日月更迭忙,唯独友情珍!焚香敬诸神,不为我一人!诸君常开怀,吉祥安康身!祝所有的朋友,元宵节快乐!
