庆祝西方节日的利弊作文

The celebration of western festivals

Assisted by globalization, western festivals have landed on China like flood, sweeping away Chinese people's passion to domestic festivals. It's no doubt that a majority of people in China now enjoy celebrating western festivals instead while having little interest in celebrating our traditional festivals. So, how does the situation happen?

To figure out the reason, we have to analyze the psychology of Chinese in celebrating western festivals. Conspicuously, western festivals, compared with Chinese traditional festivals, are more casual and have less limitation on behaviors. Feeling more relaxed and less stressed, they naturally prefer western festivals. Besides, what impresses those people is the experience which is totally different from the education we have ever received since childhood. The new joy really attracted a lot of people.

As for the influence of the situation, I think the harm it does is more than the advantages it brings. For one thing, celebrating western festivals can contribute to our knowledge about foreign culture and the culture communication of the countries. For another thing, people become ignorant of our traditional culture, which may die out if not protected well. What's worse, many people are not clear about the western festivals and they just create a mess. All in all, I think the situation has more cons than the pros.

中国传统节日与西方节日

中国传统节日与西方节日的不同

元宵节（Lantern Festival）和圣瓦伦丁节（Valentine's Day） 相同点：

两个节日分别被称为中西方的情人节。

不同点：

1．时间：元宵节为每年的农历正月十五夜，因为正月是农历的元月，古人称夜为“宵”，所以得名“元宵节”，又称上元节、灯节；西方情人节为2月14日。

2．起源或传说：

元宵节：据说元宵节习俗始源于汉代。史载汉武帝的时候，汉室要祭祀一位叫“太一”的神明。据称太一是当时相当显赫的一位神明，地位在五帝之上，并有恩于汉帝，所以受到的奉祀比较隆盛。相传另一位汉室皇帝汉文帝也和元宵节有关。据说汉高祖刘邦死后，吕后篡权。吕后死后，周勃、陈平等人扫除诸吕，拥刘恒（即汉文帝）为主。因为扫除诸吕的日子正是正月十五，所以每到这天晚上，文帝就微服出宫，与民同乐，以示纪念。从此，正月十五便成了一个普天同庆的民间节日———“闹元宵”。

圣瓦伦丁节：大约在公元三世纪的罗马，暴君克劳多斯（Claudius）当政。战事连绵不断，暴君克劳多斯征召了大批公民前往战场，他传令人们不许举行婚礼，甚至连所有已订了婚的也要马上解除婚约。就在暴君的国都里，居住着一位德高望重的修士瓦伦丁（Valentine），他对暴君的虐行感到非常难过。当一对情侣来到神庙请求他的帮助时，瓦伦丁在神圣的祭坛前为他们悄悄地举行了婚礼。人们一传十，十传百，很多人来到这里，在瓦伦丁的帮助下结成伴侣。消息传到了暴君的耳里。克劳多斯暴跳如雷，他命令士兵们冲进神庙，将瓦伦丁从一对正在举行婚礼的新人身旁拖走，投入地牢。瓦伦丁终于在地牢里受尽折磨而死。悲伤的朋友们将他安葬于圣普拉（St.Praxedes）教堂。那一天是2月14日，那一年是公元270年。人们为了纪念这个敢于与暴君斗争的人，渐渐地使得2月14日成为一个节日。

3．活动形式及其意义：

元宵节：在古代，封建社会的年轻女孩不允许出外自由活动，但是过节却可以结伴出来游玩，元宵节赏花灯正好是一个交谊的机会，未婚男女借着赏花灯也顺便可以为自己物色对象。元宵灯节期间，又是男女青年与情人相会的时机。“月上柳梢头，人约黄昏后。”“众里寻他千百度，蓦然回首，那人却在灯火阑珊处。”都是描述元宵夜的情境。因为月圆象征着圆满的爱情，而正月十五日是一年中第一个月圆之夜，所以对恋爱中的情侣别具意义。

圣瓦伦丁节：在情人节，鲜花和朱古力是象征着甜蜜、坚贞的爱情的礼物。将一枝半开的红玫瑰作为情人节送给女孩的最佳礼物，而姑娘则以一盒心形巧克力作为回赠的礼物，据说，巧克力成分之一的苯基胺能引起人体内荷尔蒙的变化，跟热恋中的感觉相似。

清明节(Tomb-sweeping Day)和万圣节除夕(Halloween)

相同点：

万圣节前夕又被称为“鬼节”，而中国的清明节在某种意义上也可称之为“鬼节”。

不同点：

1. 时间：清明节为每年的阴历四月初五；万圣节前夜为每年的10月31日夜晚。

2. 起源或传说：

清明节：据历史记载，在两千多年以前的春秋时代，晋国公子重耳逃亡在外，跟随他的介子推不惜从自己的腿上割下一块肉让他充饥。后来，重耳回到晋国，做了国君（即晋文公，春秋五霸之一〕，大事封赏所有跟随他流亡在外的随从，惟独介子推拒绝接受封赏，他带了母亲隐居绵山，不肯出来，晋文公无计可施，只好放火烧山。他想，介子推孝顺母亲，一定会带着老母出来。谁知这场大火却把介子推母子烧死了。为了纪念介子推，晋文公下令每年的这一天，禁止生火，家家户户只能吃生冷的食物，这就是寒食节的来源。寒食节是在清明节的前一天，古人常把寒食节的活动延续到清明，久而久之，人们便将寒食与清明合而为一。现在，清明节取代了寒食节，拜介子推的习俗，也变成清明扫墓的习俗了。

万圣节前夕：1000年前，居住在大布列颠的凯尔特人笃信上帝统治人

类。他们也相信死神Samhain会在10月31日夜晚降临尘世，因此他们点燃篝火，并将一些用火烧烤的牲畜作为祭品献给死神。有的凯尔特人穿戴动物的面具和毛皮，这就是现在流行的万圣节假面舞会的来源。今天，万圣节的宗教意义已经逐渐淡化，而成为一种大众喜爱的节日了。

4．活动形式及其意义：

清明节：清明节是一个纪念祖先的节日。主要的纪念仪式是扫墓，扫墓是慎终追远、敦亲睦族及行孝的具体表现。清明节纪念祖先有多种形式，扫墓是清明节最早的一种习俗，这种习俗延续到今天，已随着社会的进步而逐渐简化。扫墓当天，子孙们先将先人的坟墓及周围的杂草修整和清理，然后供上食品鲜花等。由于火化遗体越来越普遍，其结果是，前往骨灰置放所拜祭先人的方式逐渐取代扫墓的习俗。清明节当天有些人也在家里拜祭祖先。不论以何种形式纪念，清明节最基本的仪式是到坟前、骨灰放置处或灵位前追念祖先。

万圣节前夕：每到万圣节前夜，人们就围坐在火炉旁，讲述一些有关鬼的故事，有时让一些在场的小孩听起来害怕。有的人把萝卜或甜菜头挖空，做成一个古怪的头形的东西，在上面刻上嘴和眼睛，在其内放上一枝点燃的蜡烛，看上去古怪、让人害怕，然后把它挂在树枝上或大门上，据说这样可以驱逐妖魔鬼怪。在美国，人们制作“杰克灯”或叫“南瓜灯”（Jack-o'-lantern）。小孩们身穿古怪的服装，头戴面具，装扮成鬼怪的形象，手里提着一盏南瓜灯，从一家走到另一家，在大门口大声叫着“是请客还是要我们捣乱（Trick or Treat）。这时若主人不请客（treat），这些顽皮的孩子就会动真格地捣乱（trick），有的在主人的门把上涂上肥皂或往玻璃上洒肥皂水；有的干脆把主人的门给卸下来；还有的顺手拿走主人放在门口的日常小用品等。但人们对这些天真可爱的小客人一般还是欢迎的，并且事先都准备好糖果或零钱。听到这些小孩来时，他们马上迎出来，给孩子们分发糖果或零钱。

当然，中外还有很多具有独特民族气息的节日，比如：中国的端午节（Dragon Boat Festival）、重阳节（Double Ninth Festival）、七夕节，和西方的愚人节（April Fool’Day）、复活节（Easter）、感恩节（Thanksgiving Day）等。

5.24英语作文：中西方节日对比

Festival is defined as a special occasion on which people may give thanks for a harvest, commemorate an honored person or event, pay respect to the dead, or celebrate a culture. Festival, as a cultural phenomenon, comes into being during the course of human development and historical evolution. Here, I would like to talk about some differences between the Chinese Spring Festival and the Western Christmas Day.

The Spring Festival is the most important holiday in China. The date for this annual celebration is determined by the lunar calendar, so the timing of the holiday (the 1st day of a lunar year) varies from late January to early February. On the New Year Eve, we would like to chat, watch TV, or even light the firecrackers with all the whole family. While the Christmas Day is celebrated range from December 24th to January 6th . However, on the December 24th , also known as the Christmas Eve, the western people usually choose to decorate a kind of evergreen tree with all kinds and colors of lights and gifts.

Although the means of celebration vary from one country to another, most people bear common feelings for the festivals, that is praying for happiness and health, fulfilling the good will, and showing the love of life. The New Year’s Eve is the last day of December in lunar year. At that night, all members in a family will get together to enjoy the ‘family reunion dinner’, implied meaning lucky and harmony. In the same way, western people value the reunion of the whole family. They have dinner together beside the Christmas tree and enjoy themselves in playing until late at night. It is worth mentioned that the most popular song during this period is ‘Jingle Bells’, praying for the gifts of Santa Claus.

Thirdly, the most difference between the Spring Festival and the Christmas Day is the traditional food, which also embodies their different values. In Chinese New Year, we usually have dumplings, noodles, New Year cakes, etc. Noodles symbolize longevity, while the New Year cakes pronounce ‘niangao’ in Chinese, which means that life will be better and better. Instead, on Christmas Day, western people usually to have a traditional Christmas dinner with turkey, roast goose, puddings, and fruit cookies, etc.

In the course of globalization, western culture has flooded into China at an almost non-stop rate. Along with it come western festivals, the most influential of which is Christmas. As a result of this “culture invasion”, more and more Chinese people, particularly the youth, are abandoning traditional Chinese festivals. There is even a prediction that the Spring Festival will ultimately be replaced by Christmas. However, personally I’m not in favor of this statement, as the Spring Festival is a kind of cultural heritage serving as a spiritual legacy for all of us to cling to, regardless of any hindrance.

First of all, observing Christmas does not mean that the Spring Festival can be neglected. The Spring Festival has its roots in Chinese history, from which it requires its identity and meaning irreplaceable by Christmas. As Christmas stemmed from Western civilization, it can’t easily fit in

with Chinese society, let alone take the place of the Spring Festival.{中西方节日一起过作文}.

Secondly, the Spring Festival expresses our true emotions while Christmas cannot. Often, the Spring Festival arouses a feeling of eternal harmony, creates a sense of happiness, and conveys a message of family. However, Christmas goes no further than one night’s pleasure or some fancy presents, which is surely to fade away with passing tide of time and memory.

The Spring Festival is not going to lose its vigor to Christmas, as it’s just like a warm beacon for all the Chinese to gather around to cheer, to dream and to carry on. 春节作文

《春节的街头》

今天，是中国传统节日——春节。早晨我还没醒，就听到了鞭炮的声音。平静的社区，今日显得热闹非凡。这热闹的喧嚣，把我的睡意一股脑的全都打撒开来。于是，起床穿上了新衣服连早饭都来不及吃就冲到门外，看着各家各户的炮竹，烟花。接着就是跟爸爸妈妈一起去走街串巷——拜年！

“李伯伯，新年快乐”“王阿姨，工作顺了”“刘奶奶，身体健康”〃〃〃跟所有的长辈们拜过年之后，妈妈提议说：一会，去街上看看，感受下新年的气氛。 一上街，街上可就更热闹了。人们手里有提着大袋大袋的菜，身边的孩子手上握着一大把小花炮，蹦蹦跳跳地跑着。看！我左边的一位四、五岁左右的小女孩，跑到前面去。一下子又转过头对一位满手是鼓鼓的袋子的大人喊着：“爸爸，快点！我要回去放炮玩呢！”。有拿着那边超市发的小气球的，红的，黄的，绿的，还有蓝的。也有三五成群，手挽着手说说笑笑的姑娘们，小伙子们，忙绿了一年，辛苦了一年，我想这个时候应该是大家最放松，最高兴的时候。你看，路灯上还挂着两个小红灯，喜气洋洋的。就像在说，“我们也要过新年，我们也要过新年”。

一进菜市场，那才更热闹呢！人流窜动，一眼望去，什么也看不见，全是人。还有那翠绿的黄瓜，可真新鲜哪，你看，那金黄色的小花在太阳的照射下显得多么的生机勃勃啊。那鲫鱼，鲢鱼，青鱼，草鱼等等在水里游来游去，真是印证了我们中国的老话：年年有鱼（余）！黄的韭菜，红的番茄，黑的木耳，白的萝卜〃〃〃真是要什么有什么呀。“哎哟！可真够挤的。”我嘀咕了一句。跟着妈妈买了几个我爱吃的菜，结完帐就走出了菜场。超市里的收银台前也早已排起了长龙。 傍晚时分，街上，又渐渐安静下来。店主们把店子关了，超市也比往常早了些许关门。大家都提着东西回家过年去了。

到了晚上6点左右，社区渐渐安静，孩子们都回家吃团圆饭去了。吃完团圆饭7、8点的样子社区又重新热闹起来。孩子们全都出来放花炮了。这个放个“降落伞，”那个又放个“天女撒花”〃〃〃〃各式各样的花炮全有。每放完一个都会聚集好几个孩子，他们在讨论谁的花炮最美丽，谁的花炮颜色最多，之后又是阵阵欢笑。大人们或几个坐在一起打牌，打麻将；或几个坐在一起嗑瓜子，剥花生；或看着自己的孩子放花炮，偶尔还要帮他们一下。大多数的孩子，都是自己独立操作完成。

夜，更深了。人们陆陆续续的回家了，有些不肯回家的孩子也在父母的劝说下，不情愿的回了家，一天的热闹景象渐渐被夜幕包围。我不禁感叹又是一年到，时间过得可真快呀！

春节见闻

“当、当、当”新年的钟声敲响了，家家户户的门上早已贴上了或火红或金黄的对联，每一家的老老少少都乐得合不拢嘴。兴奋的孩子们有的目不转睛地盯着电视，品尝着一年一度的晚会大餐――春节晚会；有的急着给自己的长辈拜年，发短信，打电话，所有新年的祝福话语仿佛怎么也说不完；调皮的孩子正在向自己的父辈们 “讨要”压岁钱；屋外的鞭炮声此起彼伏，炸开了锅，五彩的烟花更是把这个特殊的夜晚点缀得绚丽多姿。

正月初一，农历新年的第一天迎着人们的喜悦祥和而来。我这个平时最赖床的懒汉，今天却起了个大早，因为我极想穿上我那美丽的新衣，出去好好炫耀一翻。我要去走亲访友拜新年了，这无疑也是一件高兴的事。我们小孩子走在拜年队伍的前面，见到长辈们拜个年，说几句吉利话，就可以收获一大把的压岁钱，然后拿到街上去买自己喜爱的东西――玩具、零食、鞭炮……，家长好像变了个人似的，对我们的放纵是那么的宽容，一切都有了！这就是过年的感觉。

“放鞭炮喽！”不知是谁喊了一声，小孩子们很快都聚在了一起。一串串鞭炮在人们手中点燃，响声震天，四处飞溅，仿佛要把一个个美好的愿望送到千家万户。一阵阵炮竹声接连不断，热闹非凡。

到了吃饭的时候，望着满桌子平时最爱吃的菜肴，我们小孩子却一点儿也不觉得饿。大人们在推杯换盏之间，谈论最多是：今非昔比啊！今天的幸福生活从餐桌上最能说明问题，现在人们生活好了，天天就像在过年！

奔波在走亲访友的路途上，我见到了春意盎然的田间大地，一条条新修的高速公路缩短了我们的行程，通往乡村的泥巴路也被“村村通”的水泥路所覆盖，城市高楼大厦像雨后春笋，一年一个变化……

春节对于我们小孩子来说，那就是一切都在变化，一切都是新的！

对西方节日的看法英语作文

Should We Celebrate Western Festivals Nowadays，western festivals become more and more popular in China, especially among us college students. But whether we should celebrate these festivals has aroused a heated discussion.

Some regard it a precious opportunity for the Chinese to learn more about western cultures. On the other hand, more and more Chinese people view it oppositely. Since more and more young people have lost their interest in our traditional festivals, such as Mid-autumn Festival, Dragon-boat Festival, and even Spring Festival. They seem to be more willing to celebrate Christmas.

In my opinion, every coin has two sides. Since the globalization is

impossible to avoid this mix of cultures and traditions. We should preserve the traditional Chinese culture as well as welcome Western ones. We students undertake the responsibility to carry on our traditions, therefore, we have to respect them and cherish them.
