Essay on Traditional Chinese Culture

New Year's Eve, so lively! People are very busy, put up couplets and hang up New Year's paintings; crackling firecrackers like frying sesame seeds in the pan one after another; popping fireworks like a grand celebration held in Tiananmen Square, Beijing, through the streets and alleys, through the skyscrapers, and the dark night illuminated as the day. The New Year's Eve in my hometown was filled with a joyful scene.

Night fell! Waiting for a long time, my sister and I happily took out the "kaleidoscope". I was excited to take the fireworks and lighters, ready to implement my first plan on New Year's Eve - fireworks. We set off the first firecracker is "a whistling in the sky", with a loud bang, the sky is suddenly as white as day, so spectacular Oh! The first firework we set off was "A Whistling in the Sky", with a loud bang, the sky was as bright as day. As expected, the fairies scattered a basket of flowers in the sky to the earth without pity. The flowers floated in the air and were beautiful! Instantly, the air became a colorful world. My sister and I danced with joy. Afterwards, we released "Parachute", "Seven Fairies", "Hundred Flowers Running" ......

My second plan for New Year's Eve was, without a doubt, to watch the Spring Festival Gala, of course. Our family sat in front of the TV and waited for the Spring Festival Gala with great excitement. Suddenly, my father's face turned gloomy. I thought: what's wrong with dad? I did not have time to think about it, but my father opened his mouth, "These days are really heavenly days!" Dad suddenly came up with such a sentence, I was puzzled, and hurriedly asked, "Dad, what heavenly days ah?" Dad turned down the volume of the TV and said to us, "Children, you don't understand! In the past, we people had a hard time."

"You saw the food on the table at the New Year's Eve dinner today, it was so rich. In the past, we wouldn't even dare to think about it." Dad lit a cigarette, took a drag, said in a serious tone: "I often heard your grandfather say, his era, can have meat on New Year's Eve, it is satisfied, there are many people envy.

Months passed, and the hanging pork was still in good condition. One day, your grandfather climbed up with a wooden ladder to take a look, there was only a skin left - the meat was all eaten by rats! Just like that, people couldn't eat it, but it became a meal for the rats, what a pity!" Said the father stood up, gesturing with his hands, said to us: "You children are now simply fell into the honey pot, what do not have to eat ah, New Year's out to pay tribute to the New Year, the table is the 'three-story building' ah! Especially in recent years, reform and opening up, farmers have embarked on the road to prosperity, the standard of living has improved, the table has changed even more. Even swan meat can be eaten. You have to cherish today's happy life ah!"

This year's New Year's Eve, we put up couplets, hang New Year's paintings, fireworks, watching TV, although it is a little busy, but it is colorful, so that I learned a lot in the busy.
