英语春联作文

Decorations are an important feature of the celebrations for the Chinese New Year. One of the main forms of decoration are the 'Red Couplets', which are Chinese good luck sayings written on red paper, often with gold trimmings and usually made up of four Chinese characters which ask for luck in terms of long life, wealth etc. Red is not only a lucky colour for the Chinese, but also frightens off the monster 'Nian' who arrives at this time of year and destroys crops and homes. Some New Year couplets are intended to be pasted or pinned in special places such as the kitchen or doors, while some can be placed anywhere. The couplets are usually taken down after the New Year celebrations, though some people keep them up all year long in the hope of keeping good luck.

春节的传说：

据说古时候有个叫桃花村的地方，出了一头叫做“年”的怪兽，到了除夕便出来捕杀牲畜并吃人。因此，每到除夕，百姓就惶惶不安，人人自危。有一个除夕，桃花村来了一位乞讨的老大爷，当地居民都劝他赶紧避难。

不料老人笑道：“请让我借宿一晚，自有主张。”于是众人将老大爷安排在一位大娘家中。半夜，年进了村，看到大娘家门口贴着红纸，屋内灯火通明，正待冲过去，突然听到噼噼啪啪的响声，便吓得慌忙夺路而逃。

从此，每到除夕之夜，家家户户都要张贴红纸做成的春联，燃放爆竹，这就叫做过“年”。
