介子推與清明節(jié)英語故事_模板介子推與清明節(jié)英語故事TheQingmingFestivalispopularlyassociatedwithJieZitui,wholivedinShanxiprovincein600B.C.談到清明節(jié),有點(diǎn)歷史知識的人，都會聯(lián)想到歷史人物介子推。LegendhasitthatJiesavedhisstarvinglord’slifebyservingapieceofhisownleg.Whenthelordsucceededinbecomingtherulerofasmallprincipality,heinvitedhisfaithfulfollowertojoinhim.據(jù)歷史記載，在兩千多年以前的春秋時代,晉國公子重耳逃亡在外，生活艱苦,跟隨他的介子推不惜從自己的腿上割下一塊肉讓他充饑。However,Jiedeclinedhisinvitation,preferringhavingahermit’slifewithhismotherinthemountains.后來，重耳回到晉國，作了國君（即晉文公，春秋五霸之一），大事封賞所有跟隨他流亡在外的隨從，惟獨(dú)介子推拒絕接受封賞，他帶了母親隱居綿山。BelievingthathecouldforceJieoutbyburningthemountain,thelordorderedhismentosettheforestonfire.晉文公無計可施，只好放火燒山，他想，介子推孝順母親，一定會帶著老母出來。Tohisconsternation,Jiechosetoremaininthemountainandwasburnttodeath.TocommemorateJie,thelordorderedallfiresineveryhometobeputoutontheanniversaryofJie’sdeath.Thusbeganthe“coldfoodfeast”,adaywhennofoodcouldbecookedsincenofirecouldbelit.誰知這場大火卻把介子推母子燒死了。為了紀(jì)念介子推，晉文公下令每年的這一天，禁止生火，家家戶戶只能吃生冷的食物，這就是寒食節(jié)的來源。The“coldfood”festivaloccursontheeveoftheQingmingFestivalandisoftenconsideredaspartofit.寒食節(jié)是在清明節(jié)的前一天，古人常把寒食節(jié)的活動延續(xù)到清明，久而久之，清明取代了寒食節(jié)。Astimepasses,theQingmingFestivalreplacedthe“coldfood”festival.拜介子推的習(xí)俗也變成了清明掃墓的習(xí)俗了。Whateverpracticeisobserved,thebasicobservationofQingMingistorememberone’seldersbymakingaspecialefforttovisittheirgraves,ashesorancestraltablets.Tomakethevisitevenmoremeaningful,sometimeshouldbespenttoletyounggenerationoffamilymembersknowancestors’paststrugglesandcontributions,andthestoryofJieZituiwhochosedeathovercapitulation.無論以何種形式紀(jì)念，為了使紀(jì)念祖先的儀式更有意義，我們應(yīng)該讓年輕一代的家庭成員了解先人過去的奮斗歷史，當(dāng)然，還要學(xué)習(xí)介子推寧死不屈的氣節(jié)。感人的英語故事:God'slnMyBasket緊張的英語故事比賽作文LegendofChang-Er,theMoonGoddess月亮女神嫦娥奔月的傳說Thestorybeginsaround2170B.C.afterthegreatfloodintheHsiadynasty.Yu,kingofmanykingdoms,wascreditedwithstoppingtheflood,andwithteachingfarmershowtocultivatetheirfields,thuscommencingaprosperousepoch.AtthesametimeinHeaventheJadeEmperorwishedtohelpthefarmersraiseanimalsandcultivatetheirfields.Hegaveorderstohistensonstobecometensunsandtravelacrosstheskyoneatatime,eachtakingoneday.Thetenyoungmendisobeyed;alltenofthemcameouteveryday,andtheheatfromtensunsshiningallatoncemadetheearthintolerablyhot.Peopleandanimalsdiedofheat,riversdriedup,landbecamebarrenandforestsscorchedandburned.Thefarmersprayed,givingsacrificesandburningincensetoHeavenfordeliverance.TheJadeEmperorheardtheirprayersandsawthedestructioncausedbyhissons.HesentHouYi,hisbravestgod,downtoearthtosolvetheproblemofthetensunsandendthecatastrophe.HouYiwasagood,courageousgodwithabeautifulwife,ChangEr.Deeplyinlovewitheachother,theywereknownastheDivineCouple.ChangErdidn’tlikethethoughtofgoingdowntoearth,butshewasunwillingtobeseparatedfromherhusband,sotogethertheydescendedtoearthandbecamemortalsamongtheEasternclans.HouYiwasagreatarcherandbroughthismagicbowfromheavenwithhim.KnowingthatHouYicamefromheaven,()thepeopleoftheclansproclaimedhimtobetheirleader.Seeinghowmuchsufferinganddestructionwerecausedbytheheatofthetensuns,HouYiclimbedtothetopofTienshanmountainandbegannegotiatingwiththesunstohavepityontheunfortunatepeople.Hepleadedtothesunstotaketurnsandmaketheirjourneysacrosstheskysingly,oneforeachday,andexplainedthewhiteblazeoftensunsismuchtoomuchforthelandtobear.HealsotoldthemhowmuchHeavenlovesalllivingthings.Butthetenaudacioussunsconsidereditdullandboringtogoacrosstheskyoneatatimeandthatmuchmorefunwastobehadbycomingouttogether,sotheyrefusedtolisten.Theyincreasedtheirheatandcausedevenmoresuffering.ThisangeredHouYi.Hetookouthismagicbowandarrowsandshotdownnineofthesuns;thelastsunbeggedforhislifeandpromisedobedienceatperforminghistaskofseparatingnightfromday.Finallytheearthwasatpeaceandpeopleenjoyedtheirworkandlives.However,whenHouYimadehisreporttotheJadeEmperor,hewasfuriousatHouYiforkillinghisninesons,andrefusedtolettheDivineCouplereturntoHeaven.Asleaderoftheclans,therewasmuchforHouYitodoonearth.Hetaughtthepeoplemanywaystodefendtheirlandandthemselves.Hewassobusywithhisdutieshebecameneglectfulofhislovelyandlonelywife.ChangErwasespeciallyunhappytobeanearthlymortalwithallofmortality’ssuffering,aginganddeathinparticular.Also,shewasangryatHouYiforshootingdowntheJadeEmperor’sninesons,andthecouplebecameunhappyandestranged.Toavoidarguingwithhiswife,HouYispenthistimetravellingaboutthelandalone.Hebecamefamiliartoitspeople,performingmanygooddeedswhereverhetravelled.Healsokilledagigantic,100,000-footsnakeandanine-headedmonsterthathadcausedmuchdistressandthousandsoflives.ManytimesheprayedtotheJadeEmperortolethimselfandhiswifereturntoHeaven,buttheEmperorrefusedhispleadandsoHouYiandChangErremainedasmortals,sufferingasordinaryhumanbeingsdo.Inhistravelhechancedtomeetabeautifulmortalwoman,MiFei.ShewasthewifeofFengYee,theGodofWater,whohadareputationasawomanizerandforignoringhiswife.Bothlonelyd,MiFeiandHouYibecamefriendsandlaterlovers.Inlegend,suchthingsneverremainunpunished.WhenFengYeereturnedanddiscoveredhiswife’sinfidelity,hewasfuriousandtransformedhimselfintoawhitedragon
