元宵节The Festival of Lanterns takes place at the end of the Chinese New Y ear
Celebration, on the fifteenth day of the first moon. Lanterns have been part of Chinese life for centuries so it's not surprising to see a festival of lanterns.
People usually hang lanterns in the gardens, outside the houses, and on the boats. These lanterns are signposts to guide guests and spirits of ancestors to the Lunar celebration. After a sumptuous fifteen-day feast, these lanterns light the way for the spirits back to the world beyond. Silk, paper and plastic lanterns vary in shape and size and are usually multi-colored. Some are in the shapes of butterflies, birds, flowers, and boats. Other are shaped like dragon, fruit and animal symbols of that year. The most popular type of lantern is the "horse-racing" one, in which figures or animals rotate around the vertical axis of the lantern. https://www.360docs.net/doc/409100174.html,
The special food for the Lantern Festival is Y uen Sin or Tong Y uen. These are round dumplings made with sticky rice flour. They can be filled and served as a sweet snack or made plain and cooked in a soup with vegetables, meat and dried shrimp. The round shape of the dumpling is a symbol of wholeness, completeness and unity.
The Lantern Festival is an occasion for families to get together and for everyone--young, old, rich and poor to have fun.

The Lantern Festival
The Lantern Festival falls on the 15th day of the 1st lunar month, usually in February or March in the Gregorian calendar. As early as the Western Han Dynasty (206 BC-AD 25), it had become a festival with great significance.
This day's important activity is watching lanterns. Throughout the Han Dynasty (206 BC-AD 220), Buddhism flourished in China. One emperor heard that Buddhist monks would watch sarira, or remains from the cremation of Buddha's body, and light lanterns to worship Buddha on the 15th day of the 1st lunar month, so he ordered to light lanterns in the imperial palace and temples to show respect to Buddha on this day. Later, the Buddhist rite developed into a grand festival among common people and its influence expanded from the Central Plains to the whole of China.
Till today, the lantern festival is still held each year around the country. Lanterns of various shapes and sizes are hung in the streets, attracting countless visitors. Children will hold self-made or bought lanterns to stroll with on the streets, extremely excited. https://www.360docs.net/doc/409100174.html,
"Guessing lantern riddles"is an essential part of the Festival. Lantern owners write riddles on a
piece of paper and post them on the lanterns. If visitors have solutions to the riddles, they can pull the paper out and go to the lantern owners to check their answer. If they are right, they will get a little gift. The activity emerged during people's enjoyment of lanterns in the Song Dynasty (960-1279). As riddle guessing is interesting and full of wisdom, it has become popular among all social strata People will eat yuanxiao, or rice dumplings, on this day, so it is also called the "Y uanxiao Festival."Y uanxiao also has another name, tangyuan. It is small dumpling balls made of glutinous rice flour with rose petals, sesame, bean paste, jujube paste, walnut meat, dried fruit, sugar and edible oil as filling. Tangyuan can be boiled, fried or steamed. It tastes sweet and delicious. What's more, tangyuan in Chinese has a similar pronunciation with "tuanyuan”, meaning reunion. So people eat them to denote union, harmony and happiness for the family.
In the daytime of the Festival, performances such as a dragon lantern dance, a lion dance, a land boat dance, a yangge dance, walking on stilts and beating drums while dancing will be staged. On the night, except for magnificent lanterns, fireworks form a beautiful scene. Most families spare some fireworks from the Spring Festival and let them off in the Lantern Festival. Some local governments will even organize a fireworks party. On the night when the first full moon enters the New Y ear, people become really intoxicated by the imposing fireworks and bright moon in the sky.

春节The Spring Festival is very important to Chinese people. In the past，people
could not often have meat，rice or other delicious food. They could only eat these during the Spring festival. So every year they hoped that the Spring Festival would come soon. Now，although people‘s life is much better，and we can eat the delicious foods everyday. People still like the festival. Because most people can have a long holiday，and we are free to go on a trip or visit our friends or have parties with our family. In the evenings，we
can have a big meal in the restaurant or stay at home with family and watch the TV programmes.
I like the Spring Festival very much. How wonderful the Spring Festival is！
The Chinese Spring Festival comes on the first day of the Chinese Lunar Year, which is usually in February. There is a name for each year, such as the dog, the monkey, the tiger or one of the twelve animals, and this year is the year of the pig.
Before the New Year’s Day, the Chinese people usually give their houses a good cleaning and on the last evening of the old year, all the members of a family will get together and have a big meal. On the first or second day of the new year, people usually go to visit their relatives and friends and give some lucky money to children.
I wish you have a good time during the Spring Festival.
Spring FestivalThe Spring Festival is the most important festival for the Chinese people and is when all family members get together, just like Christmas in the West. All people living away from home go back, becoming the busiest time for transportation systems of about half a month from the Spring Festival. Airports, railway stations and long-distance bus stations are crowded with home returnees.
The Spring Festival falls on the 1st day of the 1st lunar month, often one month later than the Gregorian calendar. It originated in the Shang Dynasty (c. 1600 BC-c. 1100 BC) from the people's sacrifice to gods and ancestors at the end of an old year and the beginning of a new one.
端午节英语作文：端午节风俗习惯Dragon Boat race Traditions At the center of this festival are the dragon b oat races. Competing teams drive their colorful dragon boats forward to the rhy thm of beating drums. These exciting races were inspired by the villager's vali ant attempts to rescue Chu Yuan from the Mi Lo river. This tradition has remain ed unbroken for centuries.
Tzung Tzu A very popular dish during the Dragon Boat festival is tzung tzu. This tasty dish consists of rice dumplings with meat, peanut, egg yolk, or oth er fillings wrapped in bamboo leaves. The tradition of tzung tzu is meant to re mind us of the village fishermen scattering rice across the water of the Mi Low
river in order to appease the river dragons so that they would not devour Chu Yuan.
Ay Taso The time of year of the Dragon Boat Festival, the fifth lunar moon, has more significance than just the story of Chu Yuan. Many Chinese consider t his time of year an especially dangerous time when extra efforts must be made t o protect their family from illness. Families will hang various herbs, called A y Tsao, on their door for protection. The drinking of realgar wine is thought t o remove poisons from the body. Hsiang Bao are also worn. These sachets contain various fragrant medicinal herbs thought to protect the wearer from illness.
The Dragon Boat Festival, also called Double Fifth Festival, is celebrated on t he fifth day of the fifth moon of the lunar calendar. It is one of the most important Chinese festivals, the other two being the Autumn Moon Festival and Chinese Ne w Year。
The origin of this summer festival centers around a scholarly government offici al named Chu Yuan. He was a good and respected man, but because of the misd eeds of jealous rivals he eventually fell into disfavor in the emperor's court。
Unable to regain the respect of the emperor, in his sorrow Chu Yuan threw hi mself into the Mi Low river. Because of their admiration for Chu Yuan, the local pe ople living adjacent to the Mi Lo River rushed into their boats to search for him w hile throwing rice into the waters to appease the river dragons。
Although they were unable to find Chu Yuan, their efforts are still commemora ted today during the Dragon Boat Festival。

中国一些传统文化的英文介绍
一、过年由来- - 中国古时侯有一种叫”年”的怪兽，头长尖角，凶猛异常，”年”兽长年深居海底，每到除夕，爬上岸来吞食牲畜伤害人命，因此每到除夕，村村寨寨的人们扶老携幼，逃往深山，以躲避”年”的伤害．今年的除夕，乡亲们都忙着收拾东西逃往深山，这时候村东头来了一个白发老人对一户老婆婆说只要让他在她家住一晚，他定能将”年”兽驱走．众人不信，老婆婆劝其还是上山躲避的好，老人坚持留下，众人见劝他不住，便纷纷上山躲避去了．当”年”兽象往年一样准备闯进村肆虐的时候，突然传来白发老人燃响的爆竹声，”年”兽混身颤栗，再也不敢向前凑了，原来”年”兽最怕红色，火光和炸响．这时大门大开，只见院内一位身披红袍的老人哈哈大笑，”年”兽大惊失色，仓惶而逃。第二天，当人们从深山回到村里时，发现村里安然无恙，这才恍然大悟，原来白发老人是帮助大家驱逐”年”兽的神仙，人们同时还发现了白发老人驱逐”年”兽的三件法宝．从此，每年的除夕，家家都贴红对联，燃放爆竹，户户灯火通明，守更待岁．这风俗越传越广，成了中国民间最隆重的传统节日”过年”． 土家族民间体育活动之一--舞龙灯 二、舞龙灯的意义 舞龙灯，是中华民族的传统文化活动，各民族都有舞龙灯的习俗，传说，土家族在很早以前没有舞龙习惯。有一年，久旱不雨，禾苗枯黄，溪河断流，来了一位能算天气晴雨阴旱、人间祸福的鬼谷先生，对土家人说：“大家不要愁，今天午后未时排云，戌时下雨，城内下三分，城外下七分”。他这话，被治水的金勾老龙听到后心想，凡间有如此能人还要我管什么水？！顿生嫉妒，便赌气将玉皇大帝命他在城内城外的下雨量倒改过来分。结果，倾盆大雨，水淹城内，房屋倒塌，淹死了许多人这事被当坊土地向玉皇大帝启奏后，玉皇大帝把金勾老龙打入天牢，七天后斩首示众。观音菩萨知道此事向玉皇大帝求情保救老龙。没待观音开口，玉皇大帝就放阴剑把金勾老龙斩成九节。此后，鬼谷先生又来对土家人说：“老龙被斩，是和我赌气而丧命，但他对民间做了不少好事，他死了，你们要为他烧点香纸。”于是，土家人就制作九节金龙，到各村寨起舞，叫人们敬奉，求老龙保佑风调雨顺，五谷丰登。久之，舞龙亦成为土家族的传统习俗。但是，土家舞龙，在城镇是舞全国各地大同小异的布扎龙，在土家山寨舞龙与各地有别，其自成特色。 三、清明节的由来 我国传统的清明节大约始于周代，已有二千五百多年的历史。清明最开始是一个很重要的节气，清明一到，气温升高，正是春耕春种的大好时节，故有“清明前后，种瓜种豆”。“植树造林，莫过清明”的农谚。后来，由于清明与寒食的日子接近，而寒食是民间禁火扫墓的日子，渐渐的，寒食与清明就合二为一了，而寒食既成为清明的别称，也变成为清明时节的一个习俗，清明之日不动烟火，只吃凉的食品。 关于寒食，有这样一个传说： 相传春秋战国时代，晋献公的妃子骊姬为了让自己的儿子奚齐继位，就设毒

为什么要尊重民族的风俗习惯我们怎样尊重民族风俗习惯
为什么要尊重民族的风俗习惯我们怎样尊重民 族风俗习惯 Document serial number【LGGKGB-LGG98YT-LGGT8CB-LGUT-
为什么要尊重少数民族的风俗习惯？我们怎样尊重少数民族风俗习惯？ 尊重少数民族风俗习惯，承认和坚持各民族都有保持或改革自己风俗习惯的自由,这是我们党和国家对待少数民族风俗习惯的一贯政策。所谓尊重，就是承认民族平等，承认并尊重各民族在风俗习惯方面的自主权。因为，民在风俗习惯方面的平等地位和自主权利，是民族平等地位和平等权利的一个重要方面，也是民族平等团结的一个具体体现。 尊重少数民族风俗习惯，就是要从民族平等、民族团结的原则出发，尊重各民族的平等权利，一个民族的风俗习惯的保持或改革，应由该民族的干部群众去决定，别的民族或个人不能强制或干涉；任何民族不能以自己民族风俗习惯为标准，去衡量和要求别的民族，也不能以个人的好恶去对待民族风俗习惯，去处理同风俗习惯有关的事情。 实践证明，尊重少数民族风俗习惯，有着重要的意义。? 一是有利于保护各民族的平等权利和民主权利。我国宪法规定：“中华人民共和国各民族一律平等。”各民族“都有保持或者改革自己的风俗习惯的自由”。各民族无论是保持还是改革自己的风俗习惯，都是各民族的平等权利和民主权利。尊重各民族的风俗习惯，实质上是坚持各民族平等原则和发展社会主义民主的具体体现，对民族风俗习惯的侵犯，就意味着对民族平等权利和民主权利的践踏。 二是有利于维护民族团结。每个民族对自己的风俗习惯都有着深厚的感情，他们往往把其他民族对本民族风俗习惯的尊重，看作是对本民族的尊重，把对本民族风俗习惯的轻视，看作是对本民族的歧视。因此，任何不尊重少数民族风俗习惯的言行都容易刺激以致伤害民族感情，不利于民族团结。? 三是有利于繁荣和发展民族文化。少数民族风俗习惯是民族文化的重要组成部分，各民族的一些风俗习惯本身就是以歌曲、舞蹈、体育的形式来表现的。许多民族往往通过自己的风俗习惯来保存和发展自己民族的文化艺术。尊重少数民族风俗习惯，有利于民族文化艺术的发展和繁荣。 尊重各民族的风俗习惯，是中国共产党在解决国内民族问题的纲领中一贯主张和坚持的原则，并且采取了许多相应的措施。新中国成立后，在历次宪法中都明确规定，各民族都有保持或者改革自己的风俗习惯的自由。这里所说的“保持”，“改革”，是对尊重民族风俗习惯这一原则的两方面的概述和具体阐述，也就是说，尊重中包含着保持和改革。一方面强调，每个民族的风俗习惯，只有它自己有权去决定保持还是改革，谁也没有权利去干涉和破话；另一方面又清楚地看到，每个民族的风俗习惯既有精华，也有糟粕，因而要宣传群众，帮助群众摒弃有害的风俗习惯，使群众摆脱这些有害的东西。 为了保障少数民族风俗习惯不受侵犯，在1997年颁布的《中华人民共和国刑法》第二百五十一条中规定：“国家机关工作人员非法剥夺公民的宗教信仰自由和侵犯少数民族风俗习惯，情节严重的，处两年以下有期徒刑或者拘役。”国家民委多次下发《关于慎重对待少数民在风俗习惯问题的通知》、《关于宣传报道和文艺创作要正确对待少数民在风俗习惯问题的通知》，通知要求正确执行党的民族政策，切实尊重少数民族风俗习惯。国务院制定了关于少数民族在某些重大节日给予放假的规定。国家商业部门注意安排风俗习惯有关的特需用品的生产与供应。民政部门也颁发了有关规定，要求各地方尊重少数民族的丧葬习俗。 此外，党和政府运用全社会的力量帮助少数民族发扬光大本民族传统美德和良好风尚。或通过报刊书画、影视广播等渠道大力宣传；或资助各种有益的节庆活动；或在民族地区的社会主义精神文明建设的实践中，有针对性地以民族传统形式进行活动。这样，既提高了民
