英文中国小故事

Nu Wa Mends the SkyIn ancient times,the four corners of the sky collapsed and the world with its nine regions spilt open.The sky couldn't cover all the things under it,nor could the earth carry all the things on it.A great fier raged and wouldn't die out,a fierce flood raced about and couldn't be checked.Savage beasts devoured innocent people,vicious birds preyed on the weak and old.Then Nu Wa melted rocks of five colours and used then to mend the ceasks in he sky.She supported the four corners of the sky with the legs she had cut off from a giant turtle.She killede the black dargon to save the people of Jizhou,and bloked the flood with the ashes of reeds.Thus the sky was mended,its four corners lifted,the flood tamed,Jizhou pacified,and harmful birds and beasts killed,and the innocent people were able to live on the square earth under the dome of the sky.It was the time when birds,beasts,insects and snakes no longer used their claws or teeth or poisonous stings,for they didn't want to catch or eat weaker things.Nu Wa's deeds benefited the heavents above and the earth below.Her name was remembered by later generations and her light shone on every creation.这篇文章当过范文，纯手工打的，望采纳。

China myth

Cowherd and Weaver Girl

The orphan Cowherd lives on his brother and sister-in-law. His sister-in-law was mean and often abused him. He was forced to separate and feed himself on an old cow. The old cow is very clever.

One day, the weaver girl and the fairies went down to play and bathed in the river. The old cow advised the cowherd to meet each other and told him that if the fairies could not go back before dawn, they could only stay in the world.

The cowherd stayed by the river to see seven fairies. He found that the smallest fairy was very beautiful and had a sudden love for her. Remembering the words of the old cow, Niulang quietly took away the fairy's clothes.

The fairies took a bath and were ready to return to heaven. When the fairies found that their clothes were missing, they could only stay. The Cowherd made an encounter with the fairy Weaver Girl.

Later, they talked very well and understood their difficulties. The Weaver Girl became the wife of the Cowherd. After marriage, they farmed and woven, and gave birth to a son and a daughter. Their life was very happy.

Unexpectedly, the Emperor of Heaven found out the matter and ordered the Queen Mother to escort the Zhinu back to heaven for trial.

Lao Niu couldn't bear the separation of their wives, so he broke the horns on his head and turned into a boat, letting the Cowherd chase his children by boat.

Seeing that she was about to catch up with Zhinu, the Queen Mother suddenly pulled out the gold hairpin on her head and drew a galaxy rolling in the sky.

Niulang could not cross the river, but watched and wept with Zhinu by the river. Their steadfast love moved magpies. Countless magpies flew to build a colorful bridge across the Tianhe River with their bodies, so that Cowherd and Weaver Girl could meet on the Tianhe River.

The Emperor had no choice but to allow Cowherd and Weaver Girl to meet on Magpie Bridge once a year on July 7, and Magpie would also be around. Every year after that, Cowherd and Weaver Girl will meet on July 7.

Chinese New Year (中国农历新年)The Chinese New Year has a great history. In other traditions, by this time in the year, most resolutions - made on December 31 - have been subtly forgotten and placed in a cupboard marked "maybe next year." However, all hope is not lost, as there's a second chance to start afresh with the celebration of Chinese New Year on February 12th.The Chinese New Year is very similar to the Western one, swathed in traditions and rituals.The origin of the Chinese New Year is itself centuries old - in fact, too old to actually be traced. It is popularly recognised as the Spring Festival and celebrations last 15 days. Preparations tend to begin a month from the date of the Chinese New Year (similar to a Western Christmas), when people start buying presents, decoration materials, food and clothing. A huge clean-up gets underway days before the New Year, when Chinese houses are cleaned from top to bottom, to sweep away any traces of bad luck, and doors and windowpanes are given a new coat of paint, usually red. The doors and windows are then decorated with paper cuts and couplets with themes such as happiness, wealth and longevity printed on them.The eve of the New Year is perhaps the most exciting part of the event, as anticipation creeps in. Here, traditions and rituals are very carefully observed in everything from food to clothing. Dinner is usually a feast of seafood and dumplings, signifying different good wishes. Delicacies include prawns, for liveliness and happiness, dried oysters (or ho xi), for all things good, raw fish salad or yu sheng to bring good luck and prosperity, Fai-hai (Angel Hair), an edible hair-like seaweed to bring prosperity, and dumplings boiled in water (Jiaozi) signifying a long-lost good wish for a family. It's usual to wear something red as this colour is meant to ward off evil spirits - but black and white are out, as these are associated with mourning. After dinner, the family sit up for the night playing cards, board games or watching TV programmes dedicated to the occasion. At midnight, the sky is lit up by fireworks.On the day itself, an ancient custom called Hong Bao, meaning Red Packet, takes place. This involves married couples giving children and unmarried adults money in red envelopes. Then the family begins to say greetings from door to door, first to their relatives and then their neighbours. Like the Western saying "let bygones be bygones," at Chinese New Year, grudges are very easily cast aside.The end of the New Year is marked by the Festival of Lanterns, which is a celebration with singing, dancing and lantern shows. Although celebrations of the Chinese New Year vary, the underlying message is one of peace and happiness for family members and friends.(chinese.new-year.co.uk)-----------------------------------Mid-Autumn Festival (中秋节)The joyous Mid-Autumn Festival, the third and last festival for the living, was celebrated on the fifteenth day of the eighth moon, around the time of the autumn equinox. Many referred to it simply as the "Fifteenth of the Eighth Moon". In the Western calendar, the day of the festival usually occurred sometime between the second week of September and the second week ofOctober.This day was also considered a harvest festival since fruits, vegetables and grain had been harvested by this time and food was abundant. With delinquent accounts settled prior to the festival , it was a time for relaxation and celebration. Food offerings were placed on an altar set up in the courtyard. Apples, pears, peaches, grapes, pomegranates , melons, oranges and pomelos might be seen. Special foods for the festival included moon cakes, cooked taro, edible snails from the taro patches or rice paddies cooked with sweet basil, and water caltrope, a type of water chestnut resembling black buffalo horns. Some people insisted that cooked taro be included because at the time of creation, taro was the first food discovered at night in the moonlight. Of all these foods, it could not be omitted from the Mid-Autumn Festival.The round moon cakes, measuring about three inches in diameter and one and a half inches in thickness, resembled Western fruitcakes in taste and consistency. These cakes were made with melon seeds, lotus seeds, almonds, minced meats, bean paste, orange peels and lard. A golden yolk from a salted duck egg was placed at the center of each cake, and the golden brown crust was decorated with symbols of the festival. Traditionally, thirteen moon cakes were piled in a pyramid to symbolize the thirteen moons of a "complete year," that is, twelve moons plus one intercalary moon.(chinavoc.com)
