关于清明节的英语作文【汇编20篇】

What is the definition of success? I believe different people will have

different opinions about it. If anyone asks me what is success for me, I will

tell him progress is success for me. I can have small goal or great aim in my

whole life. If the goal what I set is too large for me, I will not taste the

feeling of success. Or I always set small goals, so I will feel success all the

time, which may make me become autophilia and without ambitions. Therefore, I

think if I can be better than yesterday or last time, then I am successful.

每一年的清明对于我家来讲，是除了春节和中秋之外，最重要的一个节日，是联系我们和过去情感故事的一个非同一般的日子，我们的情感总和生活中发生的一件件事情捆绑在一起。

小时候，对我而言，清明是冷清的色调;长大了，才有了一些温暖的颜色。扫墓与踏青说不上隆重的祭祖大节，但每每父母早早准备了礼敬祖先的物舍，跪拜叩头是少不了的，眼神中平添了一份凝重和伤感，对于小时候的我而言，这样的一个节日多了一份文化厚重。

清明节传说起于秦末的故事，刘邦终于打败霸王赢得天下。刘邦衣锦还乡时，想去双亲的墓上祭拜，却因为连年的战争，使得一座座的坟墓上长满杂草，他无法找到父母的坟墓，于是刘邦最后从衣袖里拿出纸，撕成小纸片，紧紧地捏在手上，然后向上苍祷告的说：”父母在天之灵，我将这些纸片抛向空中，结果纸片落在一个坟墓上，不论风怎么吹都不动。刘邦跑去一看，果然是父母的墓碑。也是因此，百姓也学刘邦一样，每年的清明节都会到祖先的坟墓祭拜，并且用小土块压在几张纸下面，放在坟墓上，表示有人祭拜过了。

提到清明，总是把它和纪念先祖想到一起，孝文化的一种生活体现。如今，清明多了另外一些色彩，我们总是借着这几天的春和日丽，邀几位好友一起踏青，和春天的有一个最美好的约会，仲春与暮春之交，《历书》中曾记载：“春分后十五日，斗指丁，为清明，时万物皆洁齐而清明”。清朗契阔，踏青就多了一些温暖。

读杜牧的《清明》，“清明时节雨纷纷，路上行人欲断魂。借问酒家何处有，牧童遥指杏花村。”诗人在清明时节不巧赶上了纷纷小雨，在悲伤思古的小情调中多了一个雨中问路的小插曲，有小友人的相助，清明的色彩逐渐温暖起来。“路行人欲断魂。”“行人”是指出门在外的行旅之人，不是那种游春逛景的人。那什么是“断魂”呢?在诗歌里“魂”多年来指的是精神，情绪等方面。而“断魂”是极力形容一种十分强烈，远远的出人意料之外，诗歌表现之内深稳的感情。

杜牧不禁想到往哪儿才能找个酒店呢?原来杜牧是想寻到一个酒店，避避雨，歇歇脚，喝点小酒，抒发内心的小心思。可是又应该向谁问呢?原来那位牧童回答了，也种了诗人中意杏花的小惬意。“遥指杏花村”就戛然而止的，再也不多废一句话。剩下的行人怎样闻讯而走，怎样加把劲攒上前去，怎样兴奋的找着酒家…。诗人都没提到。他把这些都含蓄的表达在了整首诗中。

一年又一年的清明，确实和老底子不太一样了。过了清明就该是谷雨了，春天就这样被老天收走了，我们该换一种心情去迎接立夏了。

Because the Palace Museum is a place of five thousand years of brilliance

and ancient culture, so he has long been a tourist attraction in my heart, and

this summer vacation I have finally made a dream come true.

In Beijing I will ride my father and mother went to the tiananmen square,

across tiananmen square, the meridian gate of the world-famous greeted the hall

of supreme harmony, the hall of supreme harmony majestic, magnificent, colorful

glazed tile, such as a long arranged very neat. Curved corner with a monster,

four up the eaves of the cock appear grand hall of supreme harmony, to the hall

of supreme harmony, seventy-two large andalusite carved dragon painted chicken

shows the architecture of the feudal monarchy. The golden roof reflects the

majesty and status of the ancient Chinese emperors. The great hall looked solemn

and solemn, but the beauty of the appearance was so monotonous and heavy that I

was in vain. I dont know why I feel as if a group of puppets are standing

respectfully on either side of the house. Incense sticks up in the incense

burner, and the emperor sits high in the temple. The Palace Museum, a symbol of

the ancient kingship, has been invaded by a brick and a brick. It is far from

the palace of Buckingham Palace.

In the afternoon, we in addition to the front door, look back at taihe

light standing in tiananmen square, this magnificent buildings, so the layout of

the orderly, so solemn, not amazing, hope this trip to the Forbidden City will

The human race has entered a completely new stage in its history,along with

the advance of the society and the increaceingly rapid economic globalization

and urbanization, which resulted in the phenomenon that we are accustomed to

living a very fast rhythm lifestyle,ignoring the Chinese traditional

culture.

It is universally acknowledged that Chinese culture has a history of more

than two thousand years, which once had great influence on the world, such as

Japan, South Korea and other Asian and European countries. As one of the four

ancient civilizations,China creates many splendid cultures,such as the four

ancient Chinese inventions,which benefited human society in the history.

Although China risks copying the Western lifestyle’s worst aspects,

especially of unhealthy eating and drinking,Which once gave rise to many

problems.Fortunately,Chinese begin to realize the importance of Chinese

traditional culture.Such examples might be given easily,Chinese traditional

culture was added into our CET4 and CET6 ,which help us get hold of it

better.

“清明时节雨纷纷，路上行人欲断魂”。一年一度的清明节又来了，现在我来说说清明节扫墓的事吧。

"Qingming Festival have rain, pedestrians deep sorrow". Once a year the festival has come, now I say Qingming sweep the tombs of the thing.

我和妈妈、还有姑姑和姑父在中午吃了点饭，开车来到爷爷墓地的山下。路过香烛店，买了些纸钱和香。我们开始爬山了。开始的山路很好走，后来路越来越难走，我看了看下面，啊!这座山可真高啊!要是一旦掉下去，就会“粉身碎骨”了。真是步步惊心啊!终于到了爷爷的墓地，这个墓可真大啊!后面长着许多特意种的草和花，我说：“这是不是爷爷的头发啊?”大人们都笑起来了，妈妈尴尬地说：“快点过来，这么不懂事!”然后我就跪拜爷爷，心里默默地念着：“祝爷爷在天堂好好的。”然后爸爸给了爷爷旁边的邻居一点纸钱，烧了。我问爸爸为什么，爸爸笑笑说：“当然要给邻居一点钱呀。”然后爸爸给爷爷烧钱，烧完钱，我们就开始吃青团，我吃完青团，又吃了两个草莓，喝了一瓶王老吉就下山去了。

My mother and aunt and uncle, and ate a meal at noon, drove grandpa cemetery hill. Pass by incense shop, bought some paper money and incense. We started to climb the mountain. Beginning of the road was very good, then more and more difficult road to go, I looked down, ah! The mountain is so tall! If once the fall ", will be smashed to pieces.". Its startling step by step! Finally to Grandpas tomb, the tomb can be really big ah! There are many kinds of special behind the grass and flowers, I said: "this Shi Bushi grandpas hair?" Everyone laughed, mother embarrassed to say: "come on, so not sensible!" Then I will bow down to Grandpa, mind reading silently: "wish him well in heaven." Then the father gave him the next door neighbor, a little money, burn. I asked my dad why, my father smiled and said: "of course give neighbors a little money." And then my dad grandpa burn, burn money, we began to eat the Youth League, I finished my youth, and had two strawberry, drank a bottle of Wang Laoji came down to the.

清明节扫墓，既开心又有点悲伤。

Tomb Sweeping Day sweep the tombs, both happy and sad.

Eating patterns change over time. Ingredients cannot be seen before in a

country might begin to appear in local markets ， shipped from abroad. Migration

causes cultures to change， and eating patterns invariably reflect new

influences.

In the 20th century， few people have the time to go home for lunch， and

many city dwellers find themselves in need of grabbing a bite to eat in a place

close to their offices. As a result， the popularity of fast food and takeaway

food has risen . In many urban areas， people who traditionally ate their main

meal at midday now enjoy it in the evening， after work.

Changing eating patterns have an effect on other aspects of society. Meals

have traditionally been times when members of a family catch up with each other.

Fast food and quick meals sometimes threaten such family get-together.

近了，渐渐近了。我的眼前是一片朦朦胧胧的绿色，还有那寥远的飞鸟。清明的微风是那样柔软温和，刚下车，它就忍不住给了我一个拥抱，阳光也无声无息地抚慰着我，田间弥漫着一股浓香。

道路旁悠然自得的老牛，看到我就像多年未见的老友一般，那眼神里透射出无比盼望的赤诚。

回到家中，那被蒸熟染黄的糯米，柔软细腻，散发出一阵阵清香和浓浓的辛劳。那被煮熟的鸡肉，香味扑鼻，浸透着一股股香甜和淡淡的哀愁。

我扛起泛青的竹竿，耳畔回响起远处的歌声，低回婉转，摘下路边的野花，在蓝天白云的衬托下向山里走去。

站在路上，我望见那一座座直冲云霄的高山，正轿首昂视地俯望着我。

这内敛、挺拔的高山，它的气魄使人望而生畏，它在春色的映照下显得苍翠欲滴。

我哼着歌，踏着轻松的步伐，忽然听见了潺潺的流水声，原来是小溪在歌唱。那溪水碧绿透彻，绿得耀眼绿得发光。溪底的石块清晰可见，鱼儿呆呆地缠游。弯曲的树木，它那妙曼的身姿浮现在水面上。远远看，这片溪水就像一块绿色的屏障，回清倒影，波澜不惊。

旁边嫩绿的垂柳，它孤独地依偎着小溪，慢慢舒展它柔软的枝条，它悄悄地垂到水面上，点起阵阵涟漪，仿佛饥渴地吮吸着甘甜的溪水。我轻轻地摘下它的枝条，用这枝条编织成一个环子，戴着它感受深邃的春意。

当我走进山里时，我望见这苍翠的枫树，是那样纯净，它在微风的吹动下缓缓起舞。一眼望去整座山峰被花儿，小草灌木包围着，野花散发出独特的幽香。当大风席卷时，整座山坡滚起一片片绿色的海洋，像个高亢的歌唱家在呼啸。

走着走着，我再次邂逅了这片青翠的竹林，这让我想起了王维的“竹喧归浣女，莲动下渔舟。”

竹间也断断续续地传来鸟儿的歌声，阳光在绿色的枝头上跳跃着，尽情地享受着天地的气息。竹子身上形成一团团白气，渗透出一颗颗的水珠，它们顺着竹节轻滑而下，留下属于它们的足迹;它们调皮地在叶尖上蹦跳着，随着狂风散去，像流星般投入到大地的怀抱。

我爬累了，躺在这绿色的草地上，土地软软的，像平躺在湖面上一般，舒适而柔和。我闭上眼睛，深思着沉醉着，我听见了远古野兽的咆哮……

枫叶伸开它的四肢，替我遮住阳光的照射，留下股股暖意，清风使我神清气爽。我已和这片大地连为一体，静静地感受着土地的脉搏。我仿佛像一片树叶，轻轻地，随风飘散，飘到那没有痛苦，没有忧愁，没有烦恼的远方，那里很美很美……

我接着走，看见孩子们在放着风筝，无忧无虑欢声笑语，他们奔跑着追逐着。

终于，我看到了千百座矮矮的坟墓，安详地躺在土地上。那白纸随风飘动，整个山峰又再次滚起了白色海洋，是那样令人悲怆那样令人凄凉，这空气中弥漫着厚重离人的思愁。

“佳节清明桃李笑，野田荒冢只生愁。雷惊天地龙蛇蛰，雨足郊原草木柔。”

当阳光再次照在我的身上但竟然如此寒冷。我伴着余辉的愁绪，回到家中。这时雨竟淅淅沥沥地飘了起来，那么悲凉，那么痛心，像恋人般诉苦。

烟雨茫茫，孤山惶惶;独树凄凄，路人弥迷。风飘飘，雨潇潇，哀思涛涛，悲情渺渺。望着这一切，眼前突然呈现：一座座孤寂的坟堆，一位佝偻的老人，带着一个斗笠，拔净一片乱草，摆下一口醉酒，烧上一把纸钱，烟雾乾坤，心底弥蔓幽幽的愁绪和沉重的泪流……

“清明时节雨纷纷，路上行人欲断魂。”面朝暮色，寒意笼雾;雨中笛声，凭吊死者;昔日笑颜，浪迹天涯。

我望着长长昏黑的古道，忽然可以望见一位骑马赶路的断肠人，俯身询问一个牧童，牧童站在道旁，一手握着鞭子，一手遥指前方的坟墓……

Many people ask what happiness is. I don’t know why there are many people

asking this question, because I think happiness is simple. As for me, I feel

happy when I do a good job in my study. Teachers praise me and my parents are

happy. Or, when I help others I feel happy. I am proud of myself. Besides,

playing with my classmates or friends is happy, too. We always have a great time

together. From above, they are all happiness.

It is reported that thick fog and haze surround many parts of China. People

have to wear masks when they go out.As air pollution is getting increasingly

worse,it has become the main concern of people.

Air pollution can have serious consequences for human’s health and also

severely affects natural ecosystems. Millions of people die of illnesses related

to air pollution every year.Due to particles from exhaust emissions,green house

effects result in warmer weather,acid rains corrode the earth,and frequent haze

causes traffic problems.

Confronted with such situation,positive measures should be adopted. The

government should keep its regulatory role for properly supervision. Related

rules should be made out for reducing emissions of new vehicles and limiting

high-emission vehicles.Factories should meet standards for curbing emissions of

pollutants in surrounding cities.Meanwhile, provinces and municipalities in each

target region should set up a mechanism for the joint prevention and control of

air pollution.

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.

The Mid-Autumn Day

August 15th in Chinese Lunar Calendar is the Mid-Autumn Day. It is one of

the most important traditional festivals in China.

On that day people usually go back home to have family reunion. Each family

will have the members get together to have a big dinner. The most popular food

is moon cakes. They are round and look like the moon.

The moon is the brightest this night. People eat the delicious food while

they are enjoying a beautiful full moon in their yard. At this time, some old

people would like to tell many past events and tell the children a story about

the rabbit on the moon . The children really believe that there is a rabbit on

the moon. They hope to go to the moon and have a look one day.

What a great festival!

中秋节

农历八月十五日是中秋节，在中国它是最重要的传统节日之一。

在那一天，人们通常回家与家人团聚，一家人聚在一起饱餐一顿。最流行的食品是月饼，它们圆圆的就像月亮。

中秋节晚上的月亮特别地圆。人们都在自家的院子里一边赏月一边吃着可口的月饼。这个时候

，一些老人会讲述许多古老的故事，如月亮上的玉兔，孩子们信以为真，他们真想有一天登上月球看个究竟。

中秋是个美好的节日啊!

明天就是清明节了，清明节家家门前都要插柳条，吃鸡蛋。下午爸爸带我和妈妈去寻找柳枝。

在我们家前面是一个乡村，那里小溪清澈见底，高大的柳树一排排的，像坚守大门的士兵。爸爸抱住一棵柳树就往上爬，由于柳树的枝太高了，而且树干上也没有鼓出的地方，所以很难爬上去，眼看着爸爸就要掉下来，我灵机一动，连忙上前托住他，妈妈见了也来帮忙，爸爸就势一脚登了上去，手抓住了一根又粗又大的柳枝，扔了下来，在他跳下的时候差点掉进河里。

回家的路上，爸爸说：“儿子，给你做个笛子”，我很纳闷，用什么做?怎么做?只见爸爸折了一根柳枝，用手使劲的拧了拧，直到柳皮脱离柳树，然后把弄松的一段截下来，再用手把最头的皮弄掉，爸爸说：“好了，你用嘴吹吹吧”。我深吸了一口气，把笛子放入嘴中，使劲一吹，没想到笛子非但没没我吹响，还差一点吹飞，爸爸给我示范了一下，并对我说了决窍，我再一次尝试，嘿!还真行。我把妈妈也教会了。

回到家爸爸又做了两个，我们一人一个，坐在沙发上，跷着二郎腿，吹着笛子，好像在感受着当上音乐家的感觉。

Its Sunday today. I got up early and did my homework on the table. All of a

sudden I remembered the mothers day, a picture of my mind, remembering a past

thing that moved me.

Thats the case. After coming home from school that afternoon, my mother came

back. I found that my mother was very tired, his eyes were squinting, and I

yawned. So she sent me to do my homework at home. But I felt very sad to see my

mother working so hard, so I decided to share the housework for my mother. I

began to pick up the stuff in my home, first fold the newspaper, and then the

glass was cleaned.

I put the glass on the pot filled with water, and then picked up the cloth, a

brush up. I found a little dirty in a cup, and I took some detergent to wash it.

Suddenly, the cup from the hand slipped, piercing sound startled me. I hastened

to pick up the pieces of glass on the floor. At this time, I found that my

mother was standing in front of me, and she said, "dont pick up the pieces with

your hands. Let me come." I stood up and bowed my head embarrassed and said,

"Im sorry, mom, Im too careless." I thought: this must be closed. Mother

walked over and touched my head and said, "kid, dont frighten you?" Let mommy

pack up, you go out and watch TV. " Mothers words are very gentle, but make me

more difficult, unwittingly I cry.

Looking back on this, I felt very warm. It told me that maternal love is

selfless and great, and I want to repay my mother on Mothers day.

Now many students of Grade 9 are under too much pressure. They always feel

too tired to listen to the teachers carefully in class.

It’s important for students to relax. Only in this way can they study well

and be healthy. Here are some different ways to relax themselves. For example,

they can try to have enough sleep,or they can listen to their favourite music

after class. They can also read some books or do some sports. For me, I often

hang out with my friends.

While you are studying, don’t forget to relax. You will study better after

a good rest.

It is believed that the computer is bringing the world into a brand new

era. At the time the computer was invented, scientists, marveling at its

calculating speed, felt that they had created a miracle. Nowadays, the function

of the computer is no longer confined to calculation; it permeates people’s

daily lives and has become an inseparable part of human society.

People become so heavily dependent on computers that it is hard to imagine

the life without computers. Therefore, some people are worried that “The real

danger is not that the computer will think like man, but man will think like the

computer.”

Their concern does make sense. Indeed, some people spend such a long time

working on computers that they have few interactions with people in real life.

According to a research, too many hours in front of a computer may lead to a

poker face and interpersonal isolation. This fact should arouse our attention,

because unlike computers, human beings are social creatures that need emotional

connections with others.

Yet, it is also unnecessary for us to be overwhelmed by the negative

impacts of computers. After all, we humans are intelligent and will be able to

figure out better ways to make improvements.

When we are very small, we dream to be the great person in the future, such

as the scientist, the policeman and so on. It is good for the children to own

the big dream, so that they will study hard and fight for their future. But the

fact is that not all the person can become the great person, most people are

doing the ordinary jobs. In my opinion, ordinary is beautiful, too. Though they

are not doing the fine jobs, they find their own place and make a contribution

to the world. Take the cleaner for example. They wake up early and do the

cleaning work. People dare not to do the job because it is so dirty, but the

cleaners decorate the city with their hard work. The cleaners are the ordinary

people while doing the great job.

Nowadays it is common to encounter a scene when people want to see things

happen but can‘t make things happen for various reasons. The most important

reason is that they just refuse to create and innovate. With the accelerated

pace of our society,more and more people recognize the importance of creation

that is bound to make a difference in social productivity.

As far as I am concerned,we should all have the notion of being the

participants of supporting creation. First of all,creation is the most vital

factor to improve the inner competitiveness of our nation. For another,it is

certain that creation is so essential that enables many people to find their

positions in the company and careers in their lives.

Measures are also needed to encourage creation . First and foremost,the

government should establish certain rules to sweep up the obstacles of

invention. Some people have already complained much about complicated procedure

of patent applications or high fees to do experiments of inventions.

Additionally,high schools and universities can provide students with

scholarships or overseas learning opportunities,which will stimulate more

youngsters to join the group of invention and innovation.

清明节的习俗除了讲究禁火、扫墓，还有踏青、荡秋千、蹴鞠、打马球、插柳等一系列风俗体育活动。下面语文迷小编精心为大家整理了关于清明节习俗的英语作文，希望对你有帮助。

The Qingming (Pure Brightness) Festival is one of the 24 seasonal division points in China, falling on April 4-6 each year. After the festival, the temperature will rise up and rainfall increases. It is the high time for spring plowing and sowing. But the Qingming Festival is not only a seasonal point to guide farm work, it is more a festival of commemoration.

The Qingming Festival sees a combination of sadness and happiness.

This is the most important day of sacrifice. Both the Han and minority ethnic groups at this time offer sacrifices to their ancestors and sweep the tombs of the diseased. Also, they will not cook on this day and only cold food is served.

The Hanshi (Cold Food) Festival was usually one day before the Qingming Festival. As our ancestors often extended the day to the Qingming, they were later combined.

On each Qingming Festival, all cemeteries are crowded with people who came to sweep tombs and offer sacrifices. Traffic on the way to the cemeteries becomes extremely jammed. The customs have been greatly simplified today. After slightly sweeping the tombs, people offer food, flowers and favorites of the dead, then burn incense and paper money and bow before the memorial tablet.

In contrast to the sadness of the tomb sweepers, people also enjoy hope of Spring on this day. The Qingming Festival is a time when the sun shines brightly, the trees and grass become green and nature is again lively. Since ancient times, people have followed the custom of Spring outings. At this time tourists are everywhere.

People love to fly kites during the Qingming Festival. Kite flying is actually not limited to the Qingming Festival. Its uniqueness lies in that people fly kites not during the day, but also at night. A string of little lanterns tied onto the kite or the thread look like shining stars, and therefore, are called "gods lanterns."

The Qingming Festival is also a time to plant trees, for the survival rate of saplings is high and trees grow fast later. In the past, the Qingming Festival was called "Arbor Day". But since 1979, "Arbor Day" was settled as March 12 according to the Gregorian calendar.

When I was very small, I lived in my hometown. My grandparents raised two

dogs, and I liked them very much. I watched them grow up from the little animals

to the big dogs. Every time when I leaved home for school, they would follow me

for some distance. When I walked a little far away, they would turn home. When I

went home after school, they would wait for me in the door and swayed their

tails. I knew they were welcoming me home. They were like my family members and

I learned that animals are part of our nature. We should protect them. We can

create a harmonious society.
