第一篇：英语作文春节 the spring festival celebration

The Spring Festival celebration The Spring Festival is the biggest and most important traditional festival in China.Not only for people to get together with their families, their friends, but also offers the time and space for people to relax themselves.Traditionally, the Chinese celebrate the Spring Festival in the following ways:

Spring Purchasing: people begin preparing for the New Year’s purchases.This is called “Seeing the New Year in”.Everybody goes out to purchase necessities for the New Year.Materials not only include different kinds of goods and foods, but also various decorations装饰装潢, new clothes and shoes for the children as well as gifts for the elderly, friends and relatives, are all on the list of purchasing.扫尘 Sweeping the Dust。“Dust” is homophonic同音的，谐音 with “chen”（尘）in Chinese, which means old and past.In this way, “sweeping the dust” before the Spring Festival means a thorough cleaning of houses to sweep away bad luck in the past year.This custom shows a good wish of putting away old things to welcome a new life.In a word, just before the Spring Festival comes, every household will give a thorough cleaning to bid farewell to the old year and usher in the new.Spring Decorating装饰(大红灯笼和倒福字): some people will hang two big red lanterns outside both sides of the front door of their houses.Red paper-cuttings can be seen on window glass and brightly colored New Year paintings with auspicious meanings may be put on the wall.Red couplets are posted on the doors of people’s houses.They symbolize happiness，prosperity and good luck in the New Year.The Chinese character “fu”(meaning blessing or happiness)is a must.The character put on paper can be pasted normally or upside down, for in Chinese the “reversed fu” is homophonic with “fu comes”, both being pronounced as “fudaole.”

cake made of glutinous rice flour)on this occasion, because as a homophone, niangao means ”higher and higher every year“.In northern China, a traditional

dish for the feast is ”Jiaozi“ or dumplings shaped like a crescent moon.The Spring Festival Gala: After the dinner, the whole family will sit together, chatting, playing cards, computer games and watching TV.In recent years, the Spring Festival Gala broadcast on China Central Television Station(CCTV)is essential entertainment for the Chinese both at home and abroad.It has developed into an occasion that most Chinese find it hard to ignore at the New Year’s Eve.According to custom, each family will stay up to see the New Year in.Lighting Firecrackers爆竹，鞭炮: Lighting Firecrackers is to be one of the most important customs in the Spring Festival celebration.People thought the spluttering sound could help drive away evil spirits.Right as the clock strike 12 o'clock midnight of New Year's Eve, cities and towns are lit up with the glitter from fireworks, and the sound can be deafening and lively.Lucky Money: It is the money given to kids from their parents and grandparents as New Year gift.The money is believed to bring good luck, ward off

Will Christmas Replace the Spring Festival？

Christmas arouses increasing attention year by year in China.Christmas cards become popular with students.People hold Christmas parties and exchange Christmas girts.A lot or TV and radio programs about Christmas are on.Meanwhile the Spring Festival is less appealing（有吸引力的）to youngsters.Thus some people wonder whether Christmas will replace the Spring Festival.This worry is fairly unnecessary.Why ？ One reason lies that Christmas only affects Christians，college students and joint-venture（合资企业）workers.Another reason is that Christmas is mostly celebrated in cities.Few people in countryside show extreme interest in this exotic（带有异国情调的）festival.By contrast，the Spring Festival is the most influential traditional festival in every family.I think，it is natural that with increasing exchanges with the West，a lot of Western holidays have been gradually introduced into China.For us Chinese we should never neglect or even discard our own traditional festivals.For centuries Chinese have observed this traditional holiday to welcome the beginning of a new year.And we will treasure the Spring Festival forever.关于春节的英语作文（3）：
