January 1st is New Year's Day. It's a great day for all the people throughout the world. As the saying goes, "A good beginning is half the battle". So, many people go all out to celebrate the important day. On that day, I went to the Book City with my classmates. We bought a lot of useful reference books and interesting story books. I believe "Knowledge is power". I hope I can learn a lot from these books and improve my study. In the evening, my family had a big dinner party.
All the members in my family wished me a good luck in the new year.
Traditions of the season include the making of New Year's resolutions. That tradition also dates back to the early Babylonians. Popular modern resolutions might include the promise to lose weight or quit smoking. The early Babylonian’s most popular resolution was to return borrowed farm equipment.
The tradition of using a baby to signify the new year was begun in Greece around 600 BC. It was their tradition at that time to celebrate their god of wine, Dionysus, by parading a baby in a basket, representing the annual rebirth of that god as the spirit of fertility. Early Egyptians also used a baby as a symbol of rebirth.
Although the early Christians denounced the practice as pagan, the popularity of the baby as a symbol of rebirth forced the Church to reevaluate its position. The Church finally allowed its members to celebrate the new year with a baby, which was to symbolize the birth of the baby Jesus.
The use of an image of a baby with a New Years banner as a symbolic representation of the new year was brought to early America by the Germans. They had used the effigy since the fourteenth century.
In September 27, 1949, China people's Political Consultative Conference first plenary meeting resolution: "People's Republic of China annals by the annals of the year", which is what we call the solar calendar, in order to distinguish the two lunar and solar calendar new year, the Lunar New Year twenty-four solar term in the "spring" just before the lunar new year, the the 1th day of the first month of the Chinese lunar calendar renamed the "Spring Festival" the Gregorian calendar in January 1st as a "new year", so far, new year's Day became a National People's festival of joy.
January 1st is New Year's Day. It's a great day for all the people throughout the world. As the saying goes, A good beginning is half the battle. So, many people go all out to celebrate the important day.
On that day, I went to the Book City with my classmates. We bought a lot of useful reference books and interesting story books. I believe Knowledge is power.

——元旦的由来简介 (菁华3篇)
*古代元旦的由来
*的元旦，据传说起于三皇五帝之一的颛顼，距今已有三千多年的历史了。“元旦”一词最早出现于《晋书》：“颛帝以孟夏正月为元，其实正朔元旦之春”的诗中。南北朝时，南朝文史学家萧子云的《介雅》诗中也有“四季新元旦，万寿初春朝”的记载。
宋代吴自牧《梦粱录》卷一“正月”条目：“正月朔日，谓之元旦，俗呼为新年。一岁节序，此为之首。”;汉代崔瑗《三子钗铭》中叫“元正”;晋代庾阐《扬都赋》中称作“元辰”;北齐时的一篇《元会大享歌皇夏辞》中呼为“元春”;唐德宗李适《元日退朝观军仗归营》诗中谓之“元朔”。
我国在发掘大汶口文化的遗物中，发现一幅太阳从山颠升起，中间云烟缭绕的图画。经考证，这是我国最古老的“旦”字写法。后来，在殷商的青铜器铸铭上，又出现了被简化的“旦”的象形字。“旦”字是以圆圆的太阳来表示的。“日”下面的“一”字表示地*线，这寓意着太阳从地*线上冉冉升起。
*元旦历来指的是夏历(农历、阴历)正月初一。元是“初”、“始”的意思，旦指“日子”，元旦合称即是“初始的日子”，也就是一年的第一天。在汉语各地方言中都是有不同叫法，有叫“大年初一”的，有叫“大天初一”的，有叫“年初一”的，一般又叫“正月初一”。
正月初一从哪一天开始算起，在汉武帝以前也是非常不统一的。因此，历代的元旦月、日也并不一致。夏朝的夏历以孟喜月(元月)为正月，商朝的殷历以腊月(十二月)为正月，周朝的周历以冬月(十一月)为正月。
秦始皇统一*之后，又以阳春月(十月)为正月，即十月初一为元旦。从汉武帝时期开始，才规定孟喜月(元月)为正月，把孟喜月的第一天(夏历的正月初一)称为元旦，一直沿用到清朝末年。但这是夏历，亦即农历或者是阴历，还不是我们今天所说的元旦。
公元1911年，孙中山领导的辛亥革命，推翻了满清的统治，建立了*。各省都督代表在南京开会，决定使用公历，把农历的正月初一叫做“春节”，把公历的1月1日叫做“元旦”。
不过当时并未正式公布和命名。为了“行夏正，所以顺农时，从西历，所以便统计”，民国元年决定使用公历(实际使用是1912年)，并规定阳历(公历)1月1日为“新年”，但并不叫“元旦”。
元旦风俗
1、古代*元旦风俗
古代元旦是农历正月初一，是为了纪念舜帝祭祀天地和先帝尧的那一天，历代皇朝都在元旦举行庆贺典仪祈祀等活动，如祭诸神祭先祖，写门对挂春联，书写福字、舞龙灯，民间也逐渐形成祭神佛、祭祖先、贴春联、放鞭炮、守岁、吃团圆饭以及众多的堆火等庆祝活动。
历代皇朝都在元旦举行庆贺典仪祈祀等活动，如祭诸神祭先祖，写门对挂春联，书写福字、舞龙灯，民间也逐渐形成祭神佛、祭祖先、贴春联、放鞭炮、守岁、吃团圆饭以及众多的“社火”等娱乐欢庆活动。
2、现代*元旦风俗
1949新*成立后，把阳历1月1日定为元旦，由于元旦是在我国民国时期才诞生的。庆祝的*俗*惯，当然大都是类似于春节的*俗，或者也可以说是春节的袖珍版，毕竟元旦不是我国的传统节日，虽然沿用了部分的传统庆祝方式。比如放烟花，杀三生，祭鬼神，拜祭先祖等。
元旦在*人的眼里看的并不重，因此庆祝的那个*惯*俗也比较简单。元旦属于国际节，很多国家都把元旦列为法定的节日，在*也同样如此，新*成立以后，规定元旦为法定节假日放假一天，后来改成元旦放假三天。但在*各地，并没有规定的*俗来庆祝元旦。
元旦介绍
名称来由
元，谓“始”，凡数之始称为“元”；旦，谓“日”；“元旦”意即“初始之日”。元旦又称“三元”，即岁之元、月之元、时之元。[1]在古代*人的心目中，“元”，是开始的意思；“旦”，是早晨的意思。据史料记载，在*历史上，“元旦”有许多称谓，如元日、元正、元辰、开年、元春、上日、华岁等，但在诸多称谓中还是以称“元旦”最普遍，时间最长久。
传统元旦
*传统的元旦是指正月初一，“元旦”的概念，在不同时代、不同国家，具体所指也不尽相同。*的“元旦”这一概念，历来指的是正月一日。“正月”的计算方法，在汉武帝时期以前也是很不统一的。因此，历代的元旦月、日也并不一致。夏时期的夏历以春季一月为正月，商时期的殷历以冬季十二月为正月，周时期的周历以冬季十一月为正月。秦始皇统一*后，又以冬季十月为正月，即十月初一为元旦。从汉武帝起，规定春季一月为正月，把一月的第一天称为元旦，一直沿用到清朝末年。
“元旦”一词在我国文学作品中最早出现于《晋书》：“颛帝以孟夏正月为元，其实正朔元旦之春。”汉代崔瑗《三子钗铭》中叫“元正”、晋代庾阐《扬都赋》一赋中称作“元辰”、北齐时的《元会大享歌皇夏辞》一辞中呼为“元春”、唐德宗-李适《元日退朝观军仗归营》一诗中谓之“元朔”。
南北朝时，南朝文史学家萧子云的《介雅》诗中有“四季新元旦，万寿初春朝”的记载。宋代吴自牧《梦粱录》中有关于：“正月朔日，谓之元旦，俗呼为新年。一岁节序，此为之首。”的记载。
新式元旦
公元1911年，孙中山领导的辛亥革命推翻了满清的统治，建立了*。为了“行夏正，所以顺农时，从西历，所以便统计”，民国元年决定使用公历（实际使用是1912年），并规定阳历1月1日为“新年”，但并不称为“元旦”。各省都督代表在南京开会决定使用公历，把农历的正月一日叫做“春节”，把公历的1月1日称为“元旦”，不过当时并没有正式公布。
1912年1月1日，*宣布成立，孙中山在南京就任临时大总统，在就职誓词中，孙中山以“*元年元旦”为结尾。这就是*“元旦”的来历。
1949年9月27日，第一届*人民政治协商会议，在决定建立中华人民共和国的同时，也决定采用*用的公元纪年法，即我们所说的阳历。元旦，指西元纪年的岁首第一天。
为区别夏历和公历两个新年，又鉴于二十四节气中的“立春”恰在夏历正月初一的前后，因此便把夏历正月一日改称为“春节”，公历1月1日定为新年的开始——“元旦”，并列入法定假日，成为全国人民的节日。
每年1月1日，标志着新一年的到来，人们*惯将这一天称为“元旦”，俗称“公历年”、“阳历年”或“新历年”
元旦的由来和*俗
一、*元旦的由来
*元旦的由来，据说起源于3000多年前的三皇五帝时期。在古代*最早称农历正月初一为“元旦”，元是开始的意思，而旦指的是日子元旦合称并是“初始的日子”。而在历法上，专家们*惯称地球围绕太阳1周为1年。到**后元旦节被*定为1月1日，在立春前后并且还有假放，而在民间有的地方会举行“庙会”等欢庆活动，传承古代的民俗。
二、元旦的*俗
元旦的*俗种类很多，地方不同*俗也不同。存在着饮食、服饰、活动、交互、过礼、娱乐等方面的差异!是由于地域的自然地理环境和人为地理环境的差异造成的!但大多数还是一样的。
元旦是我国一个古老的节日，也是全年最重要的一个节日，如何过庆贺这个节日，在千百年的历史发展中，形成了一些较为固定的风俗*惯，有许多还相传至今。
1)扫尘：
“腊月二十四，掸尘扫房子” ，据《吕氏春秋》记载，我国在尧舜时代就有春节扫尘的风俗。按民间的说法：因“尘”与“陈”谐音，新春扫尘有“除陈布新”的涵义，其用意是要把一切穷运、晦气统统扫出门。这一*俗寄托着人们破旧立新的愿望和辞旧迎新的祈求。
2)贴春联：
对联，又称春联，它的种类很多，但大致有对联和春条。每幅对联都有横披和一个「福」字，而春条则如「万事亨通」，则单贴在适当的地方，如门柱上等。其 实因春联(包括对联和春条)在古代都是专人挥毫(用毛笔)书写的，所以俗称「挥春」。而广东地区将春条称为挥春，有别于春联，实有以讹传讹之嫌。年廿九，为了表示新的一年，新的气象，以及增加过年的气氛。
3)放爆竹：
爆竹一响，表示旧年已经过去了，新的一年来了。传说「年」是一只可怕的怪物。在过年放爆竹是为了吓走吃人的年兽，保护家人的安全而来的。这也是为元旦添加喜庆、热闹的气氛。
4)拜年：
大年初一，家家户户到亲友家「拜年」，也就是走亲戚。大家见面互相恭贺，说：「恭喜发财!」，祝福对方在新的一年，事事顺利、身体健康。
在*，像元旦的*俗还有很多，元旦的到来预告着旧的一年将要过去，新的一年即将开始，新一年春回大地的开始，新一年岁月辉煌的开始，是展现自己新的一面开始。元旦的气氛会渲染整个名族。
*古代元旦的饮食*俗
*古代元旦饮食丰富多彩，《荆楚岁时记》的记述就是集中体现。南朝时荆楚元旦拜贺毕，接着是进椒柏酒，饮桃汤，进屠苏酒、胶牙饧(táng)、五辛盘.进敷于散，服却鬼丸，各吃一个鸡蛋。其中有桃汤、饮料、食品，还有药物，一应俱全，各有其特殊含义。
椒柏酒
在东汉《四民月令》中已经出现。椒是花椒，古人说椒是玉衡星之精，气味芬香，服之令人身轻耐老;柏是柏树叶，古人视为仙药，可免百病。椒、柏可分别浸制酒，也可一起放入酒中饮用。饮椒柏酒可去病长寿。南朝庾信《正旦蒙赉酒》：“正旦辟恶酒，新年长命杯。柏叶随铭至，椒花逐颂来。”描绘了元旦朝贺受到赏赐椒柏酒的喜悦心情。而唐代武*一《奉和元日赐群臣柏叶》一诗，以“愿持柏叶寿，长奉万年欢”之句，表达以健康长寿之身服务万年天子的愿望。饮椒柏酒在民间一直流传下来，明代山东历城、浙江嘉兴均有此俗。
桃汤
即取桃之叶、枝、茎三者煮沸而饮，古人以桃为五行之精，能厌伏邪气。制百鬼，故饮之。
胶牙饧
隋杜公瞻注释《荆楚岁时记》胶牙的含义是“使其牢固不动”。胶牙饧实际上此俗寄托了长寿的美好愿望，因为牙齿坚固，能吃能喝，自然身体健康。隋注还说“今北人亦如之”，可见此俗的广泛性。自居易《岁日家宴戏示弟侄等兼呈张侍御殷判官》有“春盘先劝胶牙饧”之句，反映了唐代元目的食俗。不过胶牙饧在南宋以后作为送灶的供物，慢慢地从元旦食品中消失。
五辛盘
作为元日食品最早见于吴晋间周处的《风土记》，说元日早晨吃五辛菜.“以助发五藏气”(《玉烛宝典》卷一引)。五辛菜是五种有辛味的菜，《荆楚岁时记》隋注说是大蒜、小蒜、韭菜、云台、胡荽。如《风土记》所说可活动五脏，是祈求健康的东西。《荆楚岁时记》注引《庄子》说：“春日饮酒茹葱，以通五藏。”可见元日食辛菜的传统由来已久。隋唐时代的孙思邈在《食忌》中说：“正月之节食五辛，以辟厉气。”(《岁时广记》卷五91)而明代医药学家李时珍的《本草纲目》又说：“元旦立春，以葱、蒜、韭、蓼蒿、芥辛嫩之菜杂和食之.取迎新之意.谓之五辛盘。杜甫诗所谓‘春日春盘细生菜’是矣。”这种食辛盘迎新当是晚起的意思。
鸡蛋
各人吃一个鸡蛋的*俗，在吴晋间的'《风土记》中已出现。《风土记》说“正旦，当生吞鸡子一枚，谓之练形”。练形是道家用语，指修炼形体，认为可以成仙。生吃鸡蛋是为了长生。《太*御览》卷二九引《荆楚岁时记》说：“梁有天下不食荤，荆自此不复食鸡子，以从常则。”即梁武帝信奉佛教，不再吞食属于小荤的鸡蛋。
汤饼
是指古代凡小麦面制品用水煮的食品，后魏贾思勰《齐民要术》汤饼卷九“饼法”中，讲了“水引馎饦法”，其中“水引”制法：“挼(ruó)如箸大，一尺一断，盘中盛水浸，宜以手临铛上，挼令薄如韭叶逐沸煮。”馎饦“挼如大指许，二寸一断，著水盆中浸，宜以手向盆旁挼使极薄，皆急火逐沸熟煮。非直光白可爱，亦自滑美殊常”。可知水引和馎饦属于同一类型食品，只是水引似今面条，馎饦似今长揪皮。其实宋人说的“年馎饦”是一句概括语，也包括了水引。北宋《岁时杂记》说：“元旦，京师人家多食索饼，所谓年馎饦，或此之类。”(《岁时广记》卷五引)索饼就是前代的长引。长引是说拉长的东西，索饼指像绳索一样细长的饼，两个名称讲的都是形状细长的食物。由上可知，宋代元旦流行吃面条之类的食品。
年糕
又称粘粘糕，取年年高之意。在南方用糯米制成，年糕北方则为黏黍。年糕的历史悠久，汉朝的米糕已有“稻饼”、“糕”、“饵”、“糍”等名称。6世纪食谱《食次》就有年糕“白茧糖”的制法，北朝《齐民要术》记载了将米磨成粉制糕的方法。元旦吃年糕盛行于明清时代，尤以南方流行。明末《帝京景物略》卷二记载，正月元旦，“夙兴盥激，吃枣糕，日年年糕”。北方河北嘉靖时《威县志》说当地吃“蒸羊糕”。在南方，江浙的苏州、嘉定等地方志称“节糕”，明正德广东《琼台志》记载当地吃春糕：“元旦前以糯粉濈(jí)蔗糖或灰汁笼蒸春糕，围径尺许，厚五六寸，杂诸果品岁祀，递割为年茶，以相馈答。”其形制类似今天的生日蛋糕。清顾禄《清嘉录》卷十二记载更为详细，说将黍粉和糖为糕，叫做“年糕”，有黄色和白色之别。大的一尺见方为“方头糕”，还有像元宝的“糕元宝”，用于除夕供先、亲戚朋友间的赠答。此外，还有细长的“条头糕”、宽大的“条半糕”。过节时富家雇人制糕，一般人可在糕店购买。

A history of long and effortless success can be a dreadful handicap,but,if properly handled,it may become a driving force.When the United States entered just such a glowing period after the end of the Second World War,it had a market eight times larger than any compe*** ,giving its industries unparalleled economies of scale.Its scientists were the world's best,its workers the most skilled.American and Americans were prosperous beyongd the dreams of the Europeans and Asians whose economeics the war had destroyed.
It was inevitable that this primacy should have narrowed as other countries grew richer.Just as inevitably,the retreat from predominace proved painful.By the mid 1980s Americans had found themselves at a losss over their fading industrial competitiveness.Some huge American industries,such as consumer electronics,hand shrunk or vanished in the face of foreign competitiong.By 1987 there was only one American television maker left,Zenith.(Now there is none :Zenith was bought by SouthKorea'sLGElectronics in July.)Foreign made cars and textiles were sweeeping into the domestic market.America's machine-tool industry was on the ropes.For a while it looked as though the makeing of semiconductors,whidh America had invented and which sat at the heart of the new computer age,was going to be the next caualty.
All of this caused a crisis of confidenc.Americans stopped taking prosperity ofr granted .They began to believe that their way of doing business was failing,and that their incomes would therefore shourtly begin to fall as well .The mind -1980s brought one inquiry after another into the causes ofAmerica's in dustrial decline.Thir sometimes sensational findings were filled with warnings about the growing competitiong from overseas.

I am going to Hawaii for vacation .I am going in December ,and I am staying for three weeks.Hawaii is comprised of a chain of 132 islands.We usually think of the eight main islands when we think of Hawaii.This is not surprising as the other 124 islands only total about 3 square miles in land area.
Hawaii is home of the world's most active volcano,the crater of Kilauea on Mauna Loa.Sandy beaches,towering volcanoes,and lush valleys lure thousands of tourists each year to this tropical paradise.
Hawaii is the most ethnically and racially diverse state of any state in the union,a mix that includes Caucasians,Americans of Japanese descent,and Polynesians,among others.Native Hawaiians have held on to many of their customs and traditions despite the influx of non-natives over the years.Hawaii is the only state that has an official native language.Statehood had been proposed many times throughout Hawaii's history,but it was not until 1959 that Hawaii became the 50th state of the United States.

——元旦节的由来简介 (菁华3篇)
*的元旦，据传说起于三皇五帝之一的颛顼，距今已有5000多年的历史。
“元旦”一词最早出现于《晋书》：“颛帝以孟夏正月为元，其实正朔元旦之春”的诗中。南北朝时，南朝文史学家萧子云的《介雅》诗中也有“四季新元旦，万寿初春朝”的记载。宋代吴自牧《梦粱录》卷一“正月”条目：“正月朔日，谓之元旦，俗呼为新年。一岁节序，此为之首。”;汉代崔瑗《三子钗铭》中叫“元正”;晋代庾阐《扬都赋》中称作“元辰”;北齐时的.一篇《元会大享歌皇夏辞》中呼为“元春”;唐德宗李适《元日退朝观军仗归营》诗中谓之“元朔”。
我国在发掘大汶口文化遗物中，发现一幅太阳从山颠升起，中间云烟缭绕的图画。经考证，这是我国最古老的“旦”字写法。后来，在殷商的青铜器铸铭上，又出现了被简化的“旦”的象形字。“旦”字是以圆圆的太阳来表示的。“日”下面的“一”字表示地*线，意为太阳从地*线上冉冉升起。
*元旦历来指的是夏历(农历、阴历)正月初一。元是“初”、“始”的意思，旦指“日子”，元旦合称即是“初始的日子”，也就是一年的第一天。在汉语各地方言中有不同叫法，有叫“大年初一”的，有叫“大天初一”的，有叫“年初一”的，一般又叫“正月初一”。
正月初一从哪日算起，在汉武帝以前也是很不统一的。因此，历代的元旦月、日也并不一致。夏朝的夏历以孟喜月(元月)为正月，商朝的殷历以腊月(十二月)为正月，周朝的周历以冬月(十一月)为正月。秦始皇统一*后，又以阳春月(十月)为正月，即十月初一为元旦。从汉武帝起，才规定孟喜月(元月)为正月，把孟喜月的第一天(夏历的正月初一)称为元旦，一直沿用到清朝末年。但这是夏历，亦即农历或阴历，还不是我们今天所说的元旦。
公元1911年，孙中山领导的辛亥革命，推翻了满清的统治，建立了*。各省都督代表在南京开会，决定使用公历，把农历的正月初一叫做“春节”，把公历的1月1日叫做“元旦”。不过当时并未正式公布和命名。为了“行夏正，所以顺农时，从西历，所以便统计”，民国元年决定使用公历(实际使用是1912年)，并规定阳历(公历)1月1日为“新年”，但并不叫“元旦”。
今天所说的“元旦”，是新*成立前夕的公元1949年9月27日，第一届*人民政治协商会议，在决定建立中华人民共和国的同时，也决定采用*用的公元纪年法，即是我们所说的阳历。
在当代，元旦指公元纪年的岁首第一天。为了区别农历和阳历两个新年，又鉴于农历二十四节气中的“立春”恰在农历新年的前后，因此便把农历正月初一改称为“春节”，阳历1月1日定为新年的开始“元旦”，并列入了法定假日成为全国人民的欢乐节日。
传说，在4000多年前远古的尧舜盛世之时，尧天子在位时勤政于民为百姓办了很多好事，很受广大百姓爱戴，但因其子无才不太成器，他没把“天子”的皇位传给自己的儿子，而是传给了品德才能兼备的舜。尧对舜说：“
元旦
你今后一定要把帝位传交好，待我死后也可安心瞑目了。”后来舜把帝位传给了治洪水有功的禹，禹亦像舜那样亲民爱民为百姓做了很多好事，都十分受人爱戴。后来人们把尧死后，舜帝祭祀天地和先帝尧的那一天，当作一年的开始之日，把正月初一称为“元旦”，或“元正”，这就是古代的元旦。历代皇朝都在元旦举行庆贺典仪祈祀等活动，如祭诸神祭先祖，写门对挂春联，书写福字、舞龙灯，民间也逐渐形成祭神佛、祭祖先、贴春联、放鞭炮、守岁、吃团圆饭以及众多的“社火”等娱乐欢庆活动。晋代诗人辛兰曾有《元正》诗：“元正启令节，嘉庆肇自兹。咸奏万年觞，小大同悦熙。”记述元旦庆贺情景。
元旦节是*的传统节日，在元旦节这一天，家家户户都会进行庆祝，当然，在不同的地方，庆祝方式可能也会不一样。但是，大体而言，元旦节这一天都是非常热闹的。那么，说到这里，元旦的由来是怎样的？
事实上，说起元旦节，其实还要追溯自三皇五帝时期，话说当时尧帝勤政为民，一生为老百姓做了很多好事，不过尧的儿子是个没出息的，尧就没有把部落传给儿子，而是选择了品德高尚、能力突出的舜。尧在死前，也叮嘱舜要把位子传给德才兼备的人，在这之后，舜又把位子传给了治水有功的禹。事实上，这几位首领都对百姓很好，做了很多好事。后来人们把舜祭祀尧的那一天当作一年的开始，正月初一称为“元旦”，这就是元旦的由来。
到了*代，也就是1911年，当时孙中山建立了*。从民国元年开始，就决定使用公历，并规定阳历1月1日是为“新年”，但并不称为“元旦”。后来，民国*又把农历的正月一日叫做“春节”，把公历的1月1日称为“元旦”，这就是*代*元旦的来历。
那么，元旦节都有哪些*俗？
1、在元旦节这一天，一般都会举行*活动，比如元旦联欢会、挂庆祝元旦的.标语、或举行集体活动等，*年来大多数人会因为元旦的假日去旅游、聚会等节目。
2、在元旦节这一天，人们都会吃汤圆或者水饺，家人团聚一堂，吃着热腾腾的水饺，虽然一切都很简单，但是节日的氛围却非常浓厚。事实上，这也是与家人团聚的一种方式，借着节日的机会多与家人朋友相聚。
因此，以上就是关于元旦节的来历。
一、元旦的来历
“元”有开始之意，“旦”指天明的意思。元旦便是一年开始的第一天，也被称为“新历年”“阳历年”。元旦又称“三元”，即岁之元、月之元、时之元。辛亥革命成功后，孙中山为了“行夏正，所以顺农时，从西历”，定农历正月初一为春节，而以西历的1月1日为新年。1949年9月27日，*人民政治协商会议第一届全体会议决定：“中华人民共和国纪年采用公元年法”，确认新年（元旦）为*的法定节日。元旦也是世界上很多国家或地区的法定假日。
二、元旦的饮食*俗
元旦
吃鸡蛋：各人吃一个鸡蛋的*俗，在吴晋间的《风土记》中已出现。《风土记》说“正旦，当生吞鸡子一枚，谓之练形”。练形是道家用语，指修炼形体，认为可以成仙。生吃鸡蛋是为了长生。
五辛盘：作为元日食品最早见于吴晋间周处的《风土记》，说元日早晨吃五辛菜。“以助发五藏气”（《玉烛宝典》卷一引）。
汤饼：是指古代凡小麦面制品用水煮的食品，后魏贾思勰《齐民要术》卷九“饼法”中，讲了“水引馎饦法”，其中“水引”制法：“挼（ruó）如箸大，一尺一断，盘中盛水浸，宜以手临铛上，挼令薄如韭叶逐沸煮
年糕：又称粘粘糕，取年年高之意。在南方用糯米制成，年糕北方则为黏黍。年糕的历史悠久，汉朝的米糕已有“稻饼”、“糕”、“饵”、“糍”等名称。6世纪食谱《食次》就有年糕“白茧糖”的制法，北朝《齐民要术》记载了将米磨成粉制糕的方法。元旦吃年糕盛行于明清时代，尤以南方流行。
椒柏酒：在东汉《四民月令》中已经出现。椒是花椒，古人说椒是玉衡星之精，气味芬香，服之令人身轻耐老；柏是柏树叶，古人视为仙药，可免百病。椒、柏可分别浸制酒，也可一起放入酒中饮用。饮椒柏酒可去病长寿。南朝庾信《正旦蒙赉酒》：“正旦辟恶酒，新年长命杯。
桃汤：即取桃之叶、枝、茎三者煮沸而饮，古人以桃为五行之精，能厌伏邪气。制百鬼，故饮之
胶牙饧：隋杜公瞻注释《荆楚岁时记》胶牙的含义是“使其牢固不动”胶牙饧实际上此俗寄托了长寿的美好愿望，因为牙齿坚固，能吃能喝，自然身体健康。

Traditions of the season include the making of New Year‘s resolutions. That tradition also dates back to the early Babylonians. Popular modern resolutions might include the promise to lose weight or quit smoking. The early Babylonian’s most popular resolution was to return borrowed farm equipment.
The tradition of using a baby to signify the new year was begun in Greece around 600 BC. It was their tradition at that time to celebrate their god of wine, Dionysus, by parading a baby in a basket, representing the annual rebirth of that god as the spirit of fertility. Early Egyptians also used a baby as a symbol of rebirth.
Although the early Christians denounced the practice as pagan, the popularity of the baby as a symbol of rebirth forced the Church to reevaluate its position. The Church finally allowed its members to celebrate the new year with a baby, which was to symbolize the birth of the baby Jesus.
The use of an image of a baby with a New Years banner as a symbolic representation of the new year was brought to early America by the Germans. They had used the effigy since the fourteenth century.

chinese new year, pronounced in chinese as "xin nian", always falls on the date of marking the beginning of the spring and thus it is also called the "spring festival". "xin" means "new" and "nian" means "year". there are many stories told about the origin of "nian", which actually is a name of animals. the old story says that the beast "nian" with a very big mouth was so fierce and could swallow many people in one single bite. people were very scared. an old man offered to subdue "nian" and said to "nian": "i hear that you are very capable, but can you swallow the other beasts instead of people who are by no means of your worthy opponents?" so "nian" swallowed many of the other beasts that hurt people and their domestic animals. the old man turned out to be an immortal god and riding the beast "nian" flied to the heaven. now that "nian" is gone and other beasts were also scared into forests, people began to enjoy their peaceful life. before the old man left, he had told people to put up red paper decorations on their windows and doors at each years end to scare away "nian" in case it sneaked back again, because red is the color the beast feared the most. from there on, the term "guo nian" has the meaning of "pass-over" or "survive" the "nian". by tradition, chinese businesses had to pay off all debts by the year-end and thus if they could get it over, it is worth for the celebration of the new year. today people still put up red paper and firing firecrackers as way of celebration. "guo nian" becomes a tradition of celebration for thousand of years.

The ancestor of the lunar calendar, the Egyptian calendar, took the day of the Sirius and the sun as a new years day. In about fifty thousand BC, the ancient Egyptians from nomadic to farming, settled on the banks of the Nile, they found that from the long-term observation, the Nile flood time is the law, they put this time are recorded on a bamboo pole, from the two flood time is about 365 days apart at the same time; also found that when the tide came up the Nile today when it was near the city, when the sun and Sirius also rises from the horizon. So the ancient Egyptians set the day as the beginning of the year. This is the earliest origin of the new years day.
农历的祖先，埃及历法，把天狼星和太阳作为新年。大约在公元前5万年，古埃及人从游牧到农耕，定居在尼罗河岸边，他们发现从长期观察来看，尼罗河的洪水时间是有规律的，他们把这个时间都记录在一根竹竿上，从两次洪水的时间相隔约365天的同时；还发现，当今天涨潮的时候尼罗河就在城市附*，这时太阳和天狼星也从地*线上升起。所以古埃及人把这一天定为一年的开始。这是元旦最早的起源。

杨根思
杨根思,1950年10月，参加中国人民志愿军赴朝作战。11月，在抗美援朝战争第二次战役分割围歼咸镜南道美军战斗中，时任志愿军某部连长的杨根思，奉命带1个排扼守下碣隅里外围1071.1高地东南小高岭，负责切断美军南逃退路。29日，号称“王牌”军的美军陆战第1师开始向小高岭进攻，猛烈的炮火将大部工事摧毁，他带领全排迅速抢修工事，做好战斗准备，待美军靠*到只有30米时，带领全排突然射击，迅猛打退了美军的第一次进攻。接着，美军组织2个连的兵力，在8辆**的掩护下再次发起进攻，他指挥战士奋勇冲入敌群，用刺刀、枪托、铁锨展开拼杀。激战中，又一批美军涌上山顶，他亲率第7班和第9班正面抗击，指挥第8班从山腰插向敌后，再次将美军击退。美军遂以空中和地面炮火对小高岭实施狂轰滥炸，随后发起集团冲锋。他率领全排顽强抗击，以“人在阵地在”的英雄气概，接连击退美军8次进攻。当投完手榴弹，射出最后一颗子弹，阵地上只剩他和两名伤员时，又有40多名美军爬*山顶。危急关头，他抱起仅有的一包炸药，拉燃导火索，纵身冲向敌群，与爬上阵地的美军同归于尽，英勇捐躯。
左宗棠是清朝后期著名大臣，官至东阁大学士、军机大臣，封二等恪靖侯。一生经历了湘军*定太*天国运动，洋务运动，镇压陕甘回变和收复新疆等重要历史事件。
晚清名将左宗棠在征服陕甘回部后，凯旋入关。当天晚上，驻军于某处，刚刚扎营完毕，左宗棠忽然传下将令：立即拔营，继续前进!当时全军将士都已疲惫不堪，正想好好休息一番，因此谁也不愿再动弹了。那些将领们则相约着来到统帅的大营，请求左宗棠收回成命。左宗棠勃然大怒道：“我这就上马出发，谁敢违命落后者，军法从事!”左宗棠军令极严，将士们虽然怨气冲天，却也不得不装束停当，整队紧随于后，于黑夜中迤逦而行。过了两个时辰，左宗棠扭头问身边的偏将：“我们走了多少路?”偏将答道：“距离先前宿营之处已有四十多里了。”左宗棠点点头，道：“那好，就在这儿扎营吧。”
将士们重新安歇不久，忽然听到身后隐隐传来阵阵爆炸声。过了一会儿，后队巡逻兵来到帅营禀报说：“先前宿营的地方忽然被炸，已经陷成一个个巨坑。”于是全军将士无不惊骇万分，都为躲过这一劫难而庆幸不已，对自己的统帅更是佩服得五体投地。众将领都进帐询问左宗棠是如何预测到这场危机的，左宗棠答道：“当时刚刚驻军，我忽然想起回部的那些头领们虽然投降了，却是迫于我们的军威，并非个个都诚心诚意地归顺，肯定有人会挟恨报复，而我们第一晚的驻军之处也早在他们的预料之中。后来，军中击打更鼓时我又凝神一听，地下似乎有回应之声，像是有地洞，于是我立即传令速速避开。现在已经可以证实，那儿不但有地洞，而且洞中藏着不少硫磺火药。可是当时由于拿不准，又怕引起慌乱，才没有明说啊。”
董存瑞
1948年5月25日，我军攻打隆化城的战斗打响。董存瑞所在连队担负攻击***守军防御重点隆化中学的任务。他任爆破组组长，带领战友接连炸毁4座炮楼、5座碉堡，胜利完成了规定的任务。连队随即发起冲锋，突然遭敌一隐蔽的桥型暗堡猛烈火力的封锁。部队受阻于开阔地带，二班、四班接连两次对暗堡爆破均未成功。董存瑞挺身而出，向连长请战：“我是***员，请准许我去!”毅然抱起炸药包，冲向暗堡，前进中左腿负伤，顽强坚持冲至桥下。由于桥型暗堡距地面超过身高，两头桥台又无法放置炸药包。危急关头，他毫不犹豫地用左手托起炸药包，右手拉燃导火索，高喊：“为了新中国，冲啊!”碉堡被炸毁，董存瑞以自己的生命为部队开辟了前进的道路，年仅19岁。
廉颇
战国时期的赵国，有一位出名的武将叫廉颇。他不但武艺高强，箭法出众，还善于用兵打仗。秦国、齐国这些大国常来攻打赵国，赵王用廉颇为统帅，多次打败了敌军。敌军听到廉颇的名字，都很害怕。可后来，赵王中了秦国的离间计，认为廉颇老了不中用了，改派青年将领赵括代替他。赵括骄傲轻敌，使赵军打了大败仗，赵国也险些亡国。
赵王想重新起用老将廉颇，派出使者去看一看老将军身体怎么样，是否还愿意为国效力。廉颇见到赵王的使者，高兴极了。为了表示自己威风不减当年，还能上阵打仗，为国立功，他一顿饭就吃了一斗米、十斤肉。吃完了，又披上铠甲，跃上战马，拉弓射箭，舞枪刺杀，果然身手不凡。他对使者说：“你看我，虽然老了，可是能吃饭能打仗，只要大王肯用我，我万死不辞，马上回去领兵参战!”
使者走了以后，廉颇日夜盼望赵王的调令，可一直没等到。原来那个使者接受了一个叫郭开的坏人贿赂，故意在赵王面前说了瞎话，说廉颇饭量虽好，可一会儿工夫拉了三次屎。赵王听了，认为廉颇真不中用了，就不再调用他。
廉颇为赵国的安宁奋斗了一生，晚年仍希望为国出力，对人说：“我真想有一天，还能率领赵国的兵士冲锋陷阵啊!”
只要一息尚存，就要全身心地报效祖国。这就是爱国英雄们的本色。
凤凰湖后面有座小山，当地人叫擒寇山。山洼里，有一口枯井，关于这口井，还 有一段惊心动魄的故事呢。
那是抗日战争刚开始的年头，日寇的铁蹄踏上江南这美丽的土地。因为不断遭到中国老百姓的抵抗，他们心惊胆颤，整天龟缩在向山镇的据点里，不敢露头。
这天黄昏，一个叫田原一郎的日本兵在据点里实在呆不住了，便背着一把盒子槍跑出来打兔子，走着走着，竟迷了路。等到他往回赶时。太陽都快下山了。他磕磕绊绊，七拐八绕，竟走到凤凰湖后面的山坡上。山上山下，长满了齐腰深的荒草，他正摸索着往前走，忽然身子一歪，扑通一声掉进一口枯井里，田原一郎觉得大腿一阵钻心的疼，忍不住大叫起来。
正好，几个放牛娃路过这里，糟了，一定是有人掉到井里去了!他们一起围上去。打头的孩子叫李照虎，他趴在井边朝里喊：“有人吗?”里面传出一阵呜里哇啦声。旁边的精豆子根宝听出是日本人，大叫：“快，朝井里扔石头!砸死这个小鬼子!”
孩子们一起应和：“对，砸死他!”
日本鬼子专干**放火的勾当，这回，鬼子竟落到我们手里，能饶他吗!根宝搬起一块大石头就要往井里砸，被照虎伸手挡住：“别急，别急，还 没搞清楚里面是什么人就投石下井，像话吗?”他把八路军小老师教他的成语用到这里了。
照虎把两手罩在嘴巴上，朝井里喊：“喂，你是谁?哪里人?”
井里呜里哇啦一通，接着便是一阵哭声。
“这个鬼崽子，你也有哭的时候呀!”根宝说着，还 要朝里面扔石头，被照虎拦住，说：“不管怎么样，也是一条人命哪，先把他救上来再说。”
照虎把牛绳子解下来，慢慢朝井里头放，还 抖着手里的绳头朝里面喊：“抓紧绳子，抓紧。用力往上爬!”
也不知井里的人听懂没有。
他和几个小伙伴一起用力，好不容易才把田原一郎拉了上来，一看，原来是跟他们差不多大的少年，他们顿时放松了许多。
田原一郎见是几个中国娃娃。也不太紧张了，转眼一看，他们个个腰里别着明晃晃的柴刀，又吓得朝地下一跪，不知说了些什么，但从他那一把鼻涕一把泪的神情来看，是在求饶呢!
照虎想把他扶起来，谁知他刚站起，身子一闪，又跌倒了，仔细瞅瞅，原来这家伙的腿骨摔折了。这怎么办哪?几个孩子七嘴八舌拿不定主意。
村里人听说孩子们从枯井里救出个日本小兵崽子，一起跑来看热闹，虎子爸爸袖子直捋，想上去甩那个小兵几耳光，奶奶却不让他上前一步，还 说：“我看他还 是个孩子呢，你们哪个敢动他一根汗毛!”说完，大声冲照虎说：“虎子，你把这娃子给我背回村里去!”
所有人都愣愣地望着奶奶。奶奶在村里很有威望。*时说一不二，她把胳膊一抡：“今天我就疯他一回，虎子，你怎么不动呀!”
虎子只得把那个受伤的日本兵背到肩上，一步一步地下了山。
到了村里。奶奶把后院的一间柴屋收拾干净，让那日本兵住下，叫来前村的郎中为他治伤，奶奶还 把自己一件白褂子撕得一缕一缕的，缠在他的腿上。那一夜，田原一郎昏昏沉沉的，似睡非睡，一直到天亮。
就在东方刚现出鱼肚白时，早早出门放牛的根宝跑回村来报信，说不得了啦，山梁上出现十几个日本兵，哇里哇啦地往村里赶呢!
正在村里人七嘴八舌、商量着怎么办时，日本兵已经到了村头，一挺机槍架在石碾子上，几个荷槍实弹的日本兵把槍栓拉得哗哗响。打头的是小队长腾录君夫，他是那个日本小兵的舅舅。
照虎看那日本人的表情，就知道是来找那个小兵的。照虎走上前，打着手势想告诉对方，你们要找的人在我们这里呢。可腾录君夫刷地抽出军刀架在照虎脖子上。
奶奶怕孙子吃亏，上前就来夺腾录君夫手中的刀，就在这刹那间，机槍响了，一梭子子弹穿透了奶奶的胸膛，奶奶慢慢地瘫倒在地。

Time off really fast, turned away for New Year‘s Day party is over. I‘m sorry, but am glad to primary and secondary school age the last New Year‘s Day party is the most significant.
In December 31st, 201X was the day of our schools new years day, and we came to school happily.
Walk into the classroom, first printed into my eye is the TV and lights on the tube hung colourful ribbons, windows attached with colorful balloons. The school playground is also hung with coloured ribbons and flags.
The celebration began, the first is our math teacher dressed as Santa came up to us to fly lucky planes, then join the team were small classmates of the young pioneers ceremony, KFC spokesperson Kiki finally took the whole school dance aerobics, the classmates all smile.
The activities of the garden began. I came to class one in grade two to play the game of "sticking the nose". I saw some students posted on them, some of them stuck to their ears, and some other students posted on the wall, so that their classmates laughed. Its my turn, the teacher used to shut my eyes, then I turn around I dont get confused and disoriented, the four corners of the world, I carefully walked up to the podium, thought: "if wrong, the students would laugh at me, forget it, regardless of the consequence, crustily skin of head Post Bar!" I just put it on, only after hearing a warm applause from the back of the body, I hastened to see, the position is just good, not skew. I got out of the class two and a class.
The garden activity was over, and I was very happy and unforgettable. This event added endless joy to my childhood.
January 1st is New Year‘s Day. It‘s a great day for all the people throughout the world. As the saying goes, A good beginning is half the battle. So, many people go all out to celebrate the important day.
On that day, I went to the Book City with my classmates. We bought a lot of useful reference books and interesting story books. I believe Knowledge is power.
I hope I can learn a lot from these books and improve my study. In the evening, my family had a big dinner party. All the members in my family wished me a good luck in the new year.
Yuandan is the first day of the lunar calendar. It is the day when the earth has circled the sun for one round and is beginning another circling. It represents a new beginning when people send off the old days and welcome the new ones. As the first day of the year, Yuandan has been considered to be the most important festival since the ancient times.
Customs
1. Kaisui(beginning of the year): According to the Chinese traditional custom, starting from haishi(9p.m. to 11p.m.)of the last evening of the twelfth lunar month, each family must prepare offering s to deities at the altar. At the same time, they too prepare food for the New Year day: The whole family will then stay awake together to attend to the year(called shou sui). After haishi, zishi(11p.m. to 1a.m.)will come, and this is the arrival of New Year(Yuandan). At this moment, people begin the celebration with fireworks. Vegetarian and sweet foods will then be placed are the altar for offerings, and incense be burned to welcome the deities. In the ancient times, it was believed that haishi connected the two years and thus was called kaisui.
At the same night, some families will follow the instruction in Tongshu and place preparing altar in the direction of the "fortune deity" during the "fortune time" to receive the deity. If the direction of the "fortune deity" is at the "ill position", people will choose to receive "happy deity" or "noble deity" instead.
2. There is an apparent difference in the custom of food taking on Yuandan between the Chinese in the northern and southern regions. The northern Chinese has the habit of taking jiao zi(dumpling made of flour with vegetable and meat wrapped inside). Some people may put a sweet or a coin inside jiao zi, hoping to have a sweet year after tasting the sweet and a wealthy year after tasting the coin. on the other hand, the southern Chinese have the taboo for killing on Yuandan. Therefore, they do not take meat in tee morning of Yuandan, so as to avoid bloodshed or mutual slaughter. In order to evade misfortune, they have the first meal of this day without meat. Instead, they take vegetarian food for the sake of virtue.
3. What is special during the New Year is that parents or elders will distribute red packets(ang pao or ya sui qian)to the children. People in the ancient times were more particular in giving away the red packets: the distribution took place on the eve of New Year so that the kids could suppress the past year and enter the New Year. Ya sui has the meaning of overcoming the unpredictable future. Representing the wishes for the healthy psychological growth of the children, ya sui qian symbolises the elders hope to see their children overcome all the unpredictable elements brought by the "year".
Remember every new years Day is spent, perhaps as ordinary future. These days with special significance but ordinary life, we can frantically face, add some splendour to their lives, or walk quietly, leaving no trace of pain or joy in their hearts. A passionate life is a beautiful landscape painting, which makes people excited, fascinated, and endless. The dull life is a water and ink painting. It doesnt look at all at first glance, but it can comb the sadness of the heart in black and white, and weaken the worlds distraction in the moistening of water. I am longing for life is a light crimson landscape painting, like painting like fresh and elegant, often to the baptism of my heart; there are a few shallow color, although not brilliant, but also is more nourishing, called a middle course.
In this stressful society, too many plans and calculations always make people live very tired. Happy to spend every day, should be the greatest goal of life.
Bid farewell to the old year, we entered the new year. My eyes seem to have another new runway. Maybe I will fall on this runway, but I will still stand up tenaciously and challenge stubbornly. I believe in the mighty storm, there is always a beautiful rainbow.
At the moment, the window again sounded crackling sound of firecrackers, which is unable to part people bid farewell to the old year, but also the people a better vision for the new year.
