(2024·河北邯郸·二模)Our English teacher Mrs. Wang let us do an English project—researching the Chinese traditional festivals. Here are two groups’ reports about it.
The subject we’ve chosen is Lantern Festival. We’ve collected much information about the festival by doing some reading in the library.
Lantern Festival has a history of about 2, 000 years. It’s celebrated on the 15th day of the first lunar (阴历) month. People get together to enjoy colorful lanterns and play riddle (谜语) games. Small gifts are usually offered when they get right answers. It’s a tradition to eat tangyuan on this special day.
As for the next step, we will make our own lanterns and make some English riddles. This will help us understand the meaning of the festival better.
Linda:
We learned about Dragon Boat Festival. To do the research, we searched for information online and visited a local museum about culture and customs.
We’ve learned a lot about the festival. With a history of about 2,000 years, Dragon Boat Festival falls on the 5th day of the fifth lunar month. People usually celebrate it by watching boat races. Zongzi is the most traditional food that is eaten to honour the great poet Qu Yuan.
Next, we plan to learn how to make zongzi, and produce an English video to make the festival known by more people around the world.

(2024·江苏扬州·三模)Of all the Chinese 24 solar terms, Clear and Bright (清明) is the only one whose first day is also a traditional Chinese festival, the Qingming Festival. The words “clear” and “bright” describe the weather during this period. Temperatures begin to rise and rainfall increases, making it an important time for growing crops in the spring. As is known, it is a time to worship ancestors (祭拜祖先). However, here are some things you may not know about Clear and Bright.
Spring Outings
Not only is it a period to honor the dead, but it is also time for people to go out and enjoy nature. As trees turn green, flowers come out, and the sun shines brightly, everything returns to life. It is a fine time to enjoy the beauty of nature.
Flying Kites
Flying kites is an activity loved by many Chinese during Tomb-Sweeping Day. Kites are not only flown during the day time but also in the evening. Little lanterns are tied to the kites. And when the kites are flying in the sky, the lanterns look like twinkling stars at night. What makes flying kites during this day special is that people cut the string while the kite is in the sky to let it fly freely. It is said that this brings good luck and that diseases can be driven away by doing this.
Cuju
Cuju is an interesting game played during this period. Ju is a ball made of leather with hairs in it. It is said that the Yellow Emperor first invented it for training warriors. Later, Cuju was used by people to build up their bodies when they were unable to eat hot food during the Cold Food Festival.
Qingtuan
In the lower parts of the Yangtze River region, qingtuan is very popular on Tomb-Sweeping Day. Qingtuan is a kind of round green cake. In order to make the cakes, people mash (捣碎) barnyard grass (艾草) to squeeze juice from it and mix the flour and juice to a paste. Then they put fillings into the paste and steam them.

(2024·四川泸州·二模)A well-known poem by Tang dynasty poet Du Mu tells of a scene in early April: “Rains fall heavily as Qingming comes, and passersby with lowered spirits go.”
This scene takes place on Tomb Sweeping Day, also known as Qingming Festival. Tomb Sweeping Day is a traditional Chinese festival. It began in the Zhou dynasty, over 2,500 years ago. Chinese people celebrate it to remember and honor their ancestors (祖先). This year, it falls on April 4. Tomb Sweeping Day became a public holiday in the Chinese mainland in 2008. People have one day off for that day.
On this day, families bring flowers, food and wine to the grave sites (墓地) of their ancestors. They place cakes, fruits in front of the graves and some may burn joss paper, as money for the dead. After that, they sweep the tombs and cherish (怀念) the memories of their dead family members.

(2024九年级上·全国·专题练习)Almost all cultures celebrate the end of one year and the beginning of another in some way. Different cultures celebrate the beginning of a new year in different ways, and at different times on the calendar.
In Western countries, people usually celebrate New Year at midnight on December 31st—January 1st. People may go to parties, sometimes dressed in formal clothes, and they may drink champagne (香槟酒) at midnight. During the first minutes of the new year, people cheer and wish each other happiness for the year ahead. But some cultures prefer to celebrate the new year by waking up early to watch the sunrise.

(2024·四川成都·一模)The Mid-Autumn Festival in China and Thanksgiving in America are different but share some similarities. Let’s take a look.
The Mid-Autumn Festival is on the 15th day of the eighth lunar month. At first, people regarded this day as a harvest (收获) festival, since fruits and vegetables had been collected from the fields. Now it is a time for family reunion (团圆).
To celebrate the festival, Chinese people place all kinds of food at tables in their yards. When it gets dark, all the family members sit around the table, admire the full moon and eat mooncakes to remember friends and relatives. Song Dynasty poet Su Shi once wrote, “So let us wish that man will live long as he can! Though miles apart, we’ll share the beauty she displays.”
Thanksgiving is on the fourth Thursday of November. But the first Thanksgiving was in December, 1621. The first English people, who took a ship to America, invited the American Indians to have a big meal to thank them for their help. The festival began then.
Today, people usually have a family meal on Thanksgiving. They eat delicious food such as pumpkins, corn and a big turkey.
There’s a tradition about turkeys. Each turkey has a V-shaped bone. People call it a wishbone. After cooking, two people each take one end of the bone. They make a wish and pull (拉) outwards. The one who gets the larger part will get good luck.

(23-24九年级上·新疆伊犁·期末)The Mid-Autumn Festival, also called the Moon Festival or the Mooncake Festival, is the second most important festival in China after the Chinese New Year.
