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.

Because the Spring Festival is the most solemn traditional festival of Chinese folk. In the first month of the summer calendar, also known as the lunar calendar, commonly known as "New Year", "New Year". Every year, the streets are covered with red lanterns and colorful flags. The mall is a sea of people, buying New Year goods, but lively. Grandma prepared a hearty meal, with a lot of "bam, bam, bam" on the outside, and the guns  . Every little friend put on a beautiful new dress, and the grown-ups smiled with satisfaction. Until dad bought me a lot of fireworks and firecrackers, in the evening, I will take out fireworks went downstairs and children put together, we play very happy, the party began, I was reluctant to go home, eat fruit while watching the party together with family, a good laugh at our wonderful performances, wish: I wish that every day is New Years day!

First of all, you have to buy a couplet ahead of time, put a few doors into the home, and let the home spill over the festival. Of course, fireworks and firecrackers are essential, and I particularly like the magnificent landscape of the rain when the fireworks fly into the sky. Dumpling is one of the indispensable food during the Spring Festival, mom made dumplings, very fresh, I must lead a person to endless aftertastes tongtongkuaikuai, meal, snack.

Next, you have to go to the family and friends home for a new year. A door, I want to "uncle, aunt long short" to call them, then mom and dad bought a gift for them, hee hee, relatives will entertain us warmly served delicious snacks, put candy, and I love the most is that Hunan tea bud, with sesame ramming. As long as the boiling water bubble, wow, aroma, make people unable to hide greeds, appetite.

Then eat dinner, mom do the dinner on New Years Eve can be said to be "a", the whole family sitting together, taste the delicious food, talking and laughing, enjoyable. The love is to see once a year the Spring Festival Gala, which shows rich and colorful, comic sketches, songs, wonderful performances, give a person to enjoy.

In the middle of my new years new year plan, my mother called me to write the homework. Hey, I love the spring festival you come soon.

The Spring Festival in the year of the tiger is a very meaningful festival, and we all like the coming of the festival. Such as: we are children, like to relax in the Spring Festival, and also like to wear new clothes to go to other peoples home. So the adults, of course, also like this meaningful Spring Festival.

After that, we are ready to go home. When we got home, we had nothing to do. We asked Dad to give us a snow bridge. Dad took a half an hour to set up the snow bridge. I was the first test product. After stepping on it, a step collapsed, and he fell me into a big fall. The onlookers laughed. If they wrestled, I would have laughed more loudly than they were.

I dont need to say that you should also know that Keqiao is a colorful place.

虎年的春节，是一个非常有意义的节日，我们大家都很喜欢这个节日的来临。如：我们是小孩子嘛，喜欢在春节的时候放松一下，还喜欢穿着新衣服去别人家作客。那么大人们呢，当然也喜欢过这个有意义的春节了，因为大人们都忙碌了一年，辛苦了一年，所以趁过年了，可以在家里打打牌轻松一下，这是多么难得的机会啊！

除夕的晚上，我们一家人在爷爷家吃团圆饭，在餐桌上，有我最喜欢吃的糖醋排骨和八宝菜，晚饭吃完以后，我们一家人坐在电视机前看春节联欢晚会，可热闹了！在春节联欢晚会上，我看见了不可思议的魔法师刘谦在为观众们表演节目，还有很多精彩的表演，我们看到了精彩的表演以后，脸上露出了喜悦的笑容。

到了春节的第一天，我们就穿着新的衣服，去给爷爷拜年，拜好以后我们就一起去了坟山，给奶奶拜一个早年，让奶奶保佑我们身体健康。弄好以后，我们就准备回家了。到家以后，我们闲着没事干，就让爸爸给我们搭雪桥，爸爸搭了半个钟头就把雪桥搭好了，我是第一个试验品，踩上去以后，一踩就塌了，把我摔了一个大跟头。围观的人就哈哈大笑。如果是他们摔跤的话，我一定会比他们笑得声音更大。

初二的早晨，我就把烧好的稀饭端过去给爷爷吃，爷爷吃了我烧的稀饭以后，笑得乐陶陶，连嘴都闭不起来了，接着我就把爷爷吃过的饭碗洗干净。后来爷爷家里作客的人越来越多，爷爷家里一下子从冷清变成了热闹，我就扶着爷爷去里面看戏剧。并且还和爷爷开起玩笑来了……

从初二到初四，爷爷的家里就一直是热闹的，到了晚上的时候。我就会和姐姐们一起去小店里买烟火，买好以后就拿到爷爷家门口去放，噼里啪啦，噼里啪啦，可高兴了，可是大人们听得烦死啦，好像耳朵会聋一样，被大人们训斥了一顿以后，我们就垂头丧气，感觉在春节里连烟花都放不来的话，那么这个春节还有什么意义啊！接着，沈洁姐姐提出了一个建议，说：“要不我们去柯桥玩吧？”我们几个连声答应，好啊！好啊！说到了去玩，我们几个都是很乐意的……我想，我不用说你们也应该知道柯桥是一个多姿多彩的地方吧。

春节，是一个令人开心的日子，我想，如果时间可以倒流，再回到过春节的那段时间，那该有多好啊！

According to etiquette, "Han Zhi", only six inches long, three inches wide, peach wood says "Tu", "Yu Lei" two god. "On January 1, made the name Taofu, Xian wood, HYAKKI fear." So, at the age of "Qing Dynasty" Yanjing said: "the Spring Festival couplets, also namely taofu."

The five generation, in the palace, some people write the language in the Spring Festival couplets.

Spring Festival is the most important holiday for Chinese people. Excitement and happiness are palpable this time of the year， and they reach the peak on lunar new year‘s eve.

Though the 15-day period， which starts with the first day of the lunar new year and ends on the 15th day (known as Lantern Festival)， is relatively long， it is the busiest time of the year for Chinese people. The arrangements they have to make for family reunions， buying necessities and preparing food keeps them busy throughout the holiday. Many of them travel back home and meet friends over dinner and drinks. The celebrations include decorating the house and setting off fireworks.

But we are talking about a tradition that seems to be fading.Spring Festival， as it is celebrated today， has undergone many changes， thanks to the country‘s economic development and globalization.

Yet no Spring Festival is complete without food. People could not get good food whenever they desired in earlier times， something that does not apply to society today. More often than not， people faced the risk of famine. The best time for people to celebrate was when food was available in plenty， and that was possible in spring， or the beginning of the lunar new year. That was the main reason why Spring Festival acquired such great importance among Chinese people.

But three decades of economic growth has ensured that people in China， except for those who are still poor， can enjoy a good meal whenever they want. Such has been the change in people‘s fortune that some have to be treated for obesity and other health problems associated with excessive eating.

In the past， celebrations were limited to events like song-and-dance duets in North China， dragon/lion dances in South China and fireworks， which required the joint efforts of the entire community. But economic development and urbanization seems to have weakened the social links among people. Many， especially those living in cities， are not interested in celebrating the festival with people they hardly know.

Many customs associated with Spring Festival have changed， too. In the past， people used to visit relatives and friends with gifts and lots of good wishes. Today， many people， especially the youth， use their cell phones or the Internet to send their good wishes and even "gifts" to their relatives and friends. Some may say this a sign that people have become less caring about their near and dear ones， but we should see this development as a time- and energy-saving exercise granted by the information age.

In recent times， many people have started praying for a career promotion or more money instead of invoking God or the Buddha for a healthy and long life and the welfare of their family. But the number of such people is decreasing now， which shows that people are becoming more reasonable.

It’s New Year again. In this holiday, sharing is the hottest activity. People share their lives and discuss hot topic in social lives. Besides, there are many traditions during the Spring Holiday. For example, in the north, people will eat dumplings in the New Year’s Day while in the south people will make Zongzi. Firecrackers and fireworks are essential during the New Year. Now, people live a much better life than before, so people want to have a lively and grand festival. Some are likely to travel while some stay at home and take part in various activities to enrich their holiday.

春节又到了。在节日期间，分享成了最受欢迎的活动。人们分享自己的生活，讨论社会生活热点话题。此外，春节也有许多的传统。例如，北方人会在春节第一天吃饺子，南方人则会包粽子。鞭炮和烟花是必不可少的。现在，人们的生活比过去有了很大改变，所以人们希望把春节过得热闹而隆重。有的人选择外出旅游，有的人则是留在家里参加各种活动，丰富自己的节日生活。

My favorite holiday has a lot of, have tomb sweeping day, Dragon Boat Festival, childrens day, the Mid-Autumn festival, but my favorite is the Spring Festival.

"Clicks" firecrackers on New Years eve, the street, the sky flashing dazzling spark, every household lights, the window of golden yellow, yellow-green, in combustion and off gradually, flowers, seemed to open the TV at the same time, in the play the wonderful show.

I stood on the sixth floor of the balcony, look, the New Years eve the night sky is bright, many colorful fireworks shining in the sky, sometimes like to live the day cage with, often is exploded here, before falling again raised a few, and then blasted, rise again... Some fireworks at lightning speed, ten 10 to move in the air, pour down, as if the next beautiful meteor shower, is like a big waterfall, also really a little "plunges three thousand feet" feeling! My mood is particularly bright and clear, this is "firecracker sound bowed out, every family to meet the New Year".

我喜欢的节日有很多，有清明节、有端午节、有儿童节、有中秋节，但我最喜欢的就是春节了。

除夕夜，街上“劈劈啪啪”的鞭炮声接连不断，空中闪烁着耀眼的火花，家家户户灯火通明，金黄色、黄绿色的窗户，在忽明忽暗、忽燃忽灭花中，好象同时打开的电视机，在播放精彩的节目。

我站在六楼的阳台上，放眼望去，除夕夜晚的天空格外亮，许多色彩缤纷的烟花在天空中闪亮着，有的时候好像还要把天笼照住似的，常常是这里炸开了，还没等落下就又升起了几个，然后再炸开、再升起……有的烟花以闪电般的速度，十个十个的往上蹿，在空中炸开，倾泻而下，好像在下一场美丽的流星雨，又好似一条大瀑布，还真有点“飞流直下三千尺”的感觉呢!我的心情格外爽朗，这真是“爆竹声声辞旧岁，家家户户迎新春”。

I had a great Chinese New Year.On the first day of the Chinese New Year,my parents and I visited my grandparents.They own a large ranch in the countryside,surrounded by corn fields and green pastry.It’s a very beautiful ranch and the air is very clean.I helped my grandparents feed the chicken and groom the horses.I really like horses and I spent quite some time riding them along the river for several miles.I enjoyed a lot at my grandparents’home.

1)The Spring Festival comes after New Years Day.Its usually in January or February.Its the Chinese New Years Day.The Spring Festival is the biggest festival in China.All of the Chinese like this festival.When it comes,people are busy.They usually do some cleaning,go to the stores to buy some new clothes and a lot of meat,vegetables and fruit.On the eve of the festival,everyone in the family comes back home from other places.They get together and have a big supper .They eat dumplings,New Years cake and some other delicious food in their houses.Some people like New Years cake,but more people think dumplings are the most delicious food of all.Some families have a party.They sing,dance and have a good time.I like this festival very much because I can play with my friends and I can get "red envelopes".

Today is the beginning of seven, I went to town with cousin, the Zhuo flag hill of watching a wonderful acrobatic Festival " to celebrate Chinese New year ".

We arrived, to find a show place, find a place to sit down, and then patiently waited for the show to start.

" The beginning of the show ", do not know who is shouting. We immediately back to god.

The first program is, little monkey riding old goat go rope. I saw the old goat carrying small monkey step by step on the rope, hey, too. Is really amazing! The next program is more splendid! For example: wire walking, the tiger jumped the ring of fire, lions and tigers, bears swing across the beauty slip exercise, air swing ... ... And this " new acrobatic show" the protagonist is mainly animal.

关于压岁钱，有一个流传很广的故事。古时候，有一种小妖叫“祟”，大年三十晚上出来用手去摸熟睡着的孩子的头，孩子往往吓得哭起来，接着头疼发热，变成傻子。因此，家家都在这天亮着灯坐着不睡，叫做“守祟”。

有一家夫妻俩老年得子，视为心肝宝贝。到了年三十夜晚，他们怕“祟”来害孩子，就拿出八枚铜钱同孩子玩。孩子玩累了睡着了，他们就把八枚铜钱用红纸包着放在孩子的枕头下边，夫妻俩不敢合眼。半夜里一阵阴风吹开房门，吹灭了灯火，“祟”刚伸手去摸孩子的头，枕头边就迸发道道闪光，吓得“祟”逃跑了。第二天，夫妻俩把用红纸包八枚铜钱吓退“祟”的事告诉了大家，以后大家学着做，孩子就太平无事了。

原来八枚铜钱是八仙变的，暗中来保护孩子的。因为“祟” 与“岁”谐音，之后逐渐演变为“压岁钱”。
