春节习俗英语作文初二【一】
据说贴春联的习俗，大约始于一千多年前的后蜀时期，这是有史为证的。此外根据《玉烛宝典》，《燕京岁时记》等着作记载，春联的原始形式就是人们所说的“桃符”。
在中国古代神话中，相传有一个鬼域的世界，当中有座山，山上有一棵覆盖三千里的大桃树，树梢上有一只金鸡。每当清晨金鸡长鸣的时候，夜晚出去游荡的鬼魂必赶回鬼域。鬼域的大门坐落在桃树的东北，门边站着两个神人，名叫神荼、郁垒。如果鬼魂在夜间干了伤天害理的事情，神荼、郁垒就会立即发现并将它捉住，用芒苇做的绳子把它捆起来，送去喂虎。因而天下的鬼都畏惧神荼、郁垒。于是民间就用桃木刻成他们的模样，放在自家门口，以避邪防害。后来，人们干脆在桃木板上刻上神荼、郁垒的名字，认为这样做同样可以镇邪去恶。这种桃木板后来就被叫做“桃符”。
到了宋代，人们便开始在桃木板上写对联，一则不失桃木镇邪的意义，二则表达自己美好心愿，三则装饰门户，以求美观。又在象征喜气吉祥的红纸上写对联，新春之际贴在门窗两边，用以表达人们祈求来年福运的美好心愿。
为了祈求一家的福寿康宁，一些地方的人们还保留着贴门神的习惯。据说，大门上贴上两位门神，一切妖魔鬼怪都会望而生畏。在民间，门神是正气和武力的象征，古人认为，相貌出奇的人往往具有神奇的禀性和不凡的本领。他们心地正直善良，捉鬼擒魔是他们的天性和责任，人们所仰慕的捉鬼天师钟馗，即是此种奇形怪相。所以民间的门神永远都怒目圆睁，相貌狰狞，手里拿着各种传统的武器，随时准备同敢于上门来的鬼魅战斗。由于我国民居的大门，通常都是两扇对开，所以门神总是成双成对。
唐朝以后，除了以往的神荼、郁垒二将以外，人们又把秦叔宝和尉迟恭两位唐代武将当作门神。相传，唐太宗生病，听见门外鬼魅呼号，彻夜不得安宁。于是他让这两位将军手持武器立于门旁镇守，第二天夜里就再也没有鬼魅搔扰了。其后，唐太宗让人把这两位将军的形象画下来贴在门上，这一习俗开始在民间广为流传。

我爱读书，春节里的一天，妈妈带我去了重庆书城。
那天天气晴朗，妈妈和我乘公交车到了重庆解放碑，刚一下车，我就看见不远处一幢高楼边的“重庆书城”四个大字，在半空中竖着。走进书城临街的大厅，里面的人非常多，比较拥挤，分区的书架上整齐地竖放着一排排看也看不完的书，但空间非常高，亮堂堂的，给人一种豪华、气派、宏大的感觉。我们看了书城的楼层示意图，知道第六楼是卖儿童玩具和儿童书籍的，就坐电梯上了六楼。六楼真宽敞，我找到儿童书籍阅览区，急忙取下一本书，津津有味地看了起来。一本书看完后，我忽然看见了一套崭新的《中国儿童百科全书》。我好奇地盯着书架，噢，还挺不错的，有《身边的数理化》、《文化艺术》、《太空气象》、《军事体育》、《动物植物》、《科学技术》、《话说地球》、《话说历史》、《世界风貌》、《日常生活》十本书，我选择《太空气象》仔细看起来，书里的内容真有趣，我沉醉在知识的海洋里，完全不觉得腰酸背痛腿软脚发麻。
不知不觉两三个小时过去了，妈妈在我的身后说：“航航，该走了。”我央求妈妈说：“妈妈，你把这十本书都买下吧！”“我看看，如果没有买过就买。”妈妈把这套书的名字看了一遍后，说：“好吧，我们去交钱。”我高兴得跳着大叫：“耶——”
重庆书城里的书真多呀，有机会我还要去。高尔基说过：“书籍是人类进步的阶梯。”莎士比亚也说过：“书籍是全世界的营养品。”看着书，我一点也不觉得饿。春节里看书真有意义，但愿我们都去读书吧！

春节，俗称过年，是民间一年中庆贺时间最长，最隆重的传统节日。春节是我们汉族人民的最爱。
春节差不多在腊月二十三就已经开始了，在我们这里叫小年。过小年，差不多就是春节的一个开幕式。这一天，是要祭灶的。祭灶的时候，鞭炮声响起来，说明过年的气息离我们更近了些。
过了小年，大家就更忙了，必须准备过年的东西，正式迎接年的到来。
除夕真红火，家家户户都鞭炮喧天辞旧岁，爆竹声中迎新春，家家都赶着包饺子，到处是饺子的香味，人人都穿上了新衣，贴上红红的对联，年画。除夕夜家家都笑声不停，灯火辉煌，鞭炮声一阵接一阵，午夜十二点，春节的钟声响起来了，伴随着钟声到来，预示着辞旧迎新，大家都长大了一岁，回首过去的一年里，我好想停留在那长不大的童话世界里……
正月初一和除夕之夜，虽然只是一个时差的区别，但却给人留下了截然不同的印象。
正月初一，不像以前那样守旧，不在是男人拜年，女人在家接待客人，现在一家人去给长辈拜年，也不在是叩头如捣蒜，现在只要说声祝福语，行个礼。哈哈！压岁钱就到手了，春节拜年收红包是我们孩子的最爱。其次，还要去上坟，就是给以逝的亲人去拜年，鞭炮声又一次响起来，一演示对逝世亲人的怀念，还要烧些纸钱，祭些酒菜，我不禁想到：“人世间，为什么要有生离别呢？今年是双节日，一边是春节，一边是情人节，这又给今年的春节增添了一份喜庆美好的色彩。
正月十五，春节的最后一层台阶了，这一天，大街上到处都张灯结彩，灯火辉煌。今年，我们这里的灯在宾河路上展示，整条街像是在办喜事，红火而美丽，是人的海洋，灯的世界，有虎灯，有的是大红宫灯，有的是龙灯…。每个人都好像坠入仙境一般。一眨眼间，一个五彩缤纷的童话世界化成五光十色的星星点点，洒满在视野里伴着满路的花灯，把天空打扮得金光灿烂，碧玉滢滢。元宵节就是吃元宵呀。欢欢喜喜过大年，团团圆圆吃元宵，这的确是件美好的事情。
正月十五就是年的闭幕式。美好的正月十五给年彻底拉上了一卷令人怀念的帷幕。
春节习俗英语作文初二【五】
When I was a freshman in college I watched the film Gua Sha Treatment for the first time, now I am a junior student and I come back to review the movie from a multicultural aspect, I have many different feelings after watching the film again.
At the beginning of the film, XuDatong is given an award and later he delivers a speech. What makes me impressed most is in his speech he says “one day I will become one of you, a truly successful American, today this award proved that America is a true land of opportunity and I am the living proof of that.” At that moment Xu thinks he has realized his American Dream totally with his lovingly wife and adorable son. However, I think it is ironical that to make a speech like that and I assume it is made on purpose to hind a clue for the story\'s development. How many non—American people have such a beautiful American dream? One of my classmate studies in American now and before he went aboard he told me his American dream is he can stand at the top of the New York. To be honest, I also dream that one day I can get the Green Card living there happily and successfully maybe working at the Wall Street. When Xu gets the award he thinks he entirely melted in the melting pot neglecting the multicultural obstruct, later the plot goes against the way he thinks. And later Quinlan asked Xu\'why you be the scapegoat of your father?\' Xu answers \'because he is Chinese.\' Then maybe Xu knows that there is always a wide gap between Chinese and American cultures.
The second scene is Xu hit his son Denis because Denis hit the son of xu\'s boss, at the middle of the film xu tells his boss that he hit his own son is only to show his respect to his boss John Quinlan, that time Quinlan feels puzzled “what a Chinese logic”,yes, American can never understand such a logic full of Chinese characteristic, because they respect everyone including the children, they won\'t beat a child to please the boss, and there is no such a conception of degree between employee and employer, they feel everyone is equal, which is quite different from china.
Connected to the second scene, the third difference I want to analyze is the care for the children. In America, people pay more attention to the right of children which can be seen from the law—leaving children alone at home is illegal, while in China it is so common that almost everyone may experience such loneliness. And Children Welfare Agency does work in America which shows the importance Americans attach to children\'s right. What\'s more, I remember a line \'No one won the case, especially the child.\' In my opinion, it also manifests the universal concern from the American public to the children.
The fourth aspect is following the procedure, in the film, more than there times, the people focus on the rule, the law, the procedure. At the Christmas Eve Xu wants to return back to his home pretending as a Santa Claus, what a pity, the security recognizes him and persuades \'you are always a good tenement, never causes troubles for me.\' And another scene is at the end of the film , the judge says \'I have to follow the procedure.\' However, in China people always have to ask for a favor to do something, and later you have to pay back the favor,for myself, I prefer the American style, strict to the procedure.
The fifth and the last point is the humors, Quinlan says \'you can\'t fall, your health security is the company paid.\' \'Datong, welcome home, maybe next time, you can come from the front door.\' \'dady, why you come from the window\' \' because we don\'t have a chimney.\' I really adore this distinguished American humor, especially in dangerous situations, which is quite rare in China.
That\'s my whole reaction to Gua Sha Treatment.
