Mid-autumn Festival
Mid-autumn Day is one of the key traditional Chinese Festivals. On the special occasion, the whole family got together and enjoy tasting the delicious and sweet mooncakes at home. The festival falls on the fifteenth day according to the lunar calendar, on which the moon is fullest and brightest. The moon symbolizes the union and prosperity. What a coincidence! No wonder many people will send the precious and luxury mooncakes to their honnorable teachers. In Chinese classics, many talented and famed poets delineated the fascinating view of the full moon. The most impressive is the Su shi "Tune on water melody".
"How long will the full moon apperar?
Wine cup in hand, I ask the sky.

现在大城市都流行过西方的节日，如圣诞节、愚人节等，请对这一现象发表你的看法。
Nowadays, there appears a phenomenon that the western customs are spreading into the east countries step by step, thus making many inhabitants who live in big cities enjoy themselves on these western festivals such as Christmas Day, April Fool’s Day, etc. Such phenomenon shows us that the world people are getting close gradually and the world is becoming smaller and smaller as well. Therefore, in my opinion, it’s a normal phenomenon s well as a necessary trend.

First of all, it shows that we Chinese have become much opener rather than clinging to some very old customs, which are opposite our living. Looking back on the history, we can find the answer to why our China was very poor and weak in the 1800’s. Yes, the answer is that we closed ourselves not to let other countries know about us, and this led us to a very hard road on which we suffered many wars that many European countries launched. So I think it is more than necessary to accept other customs instead of closing ourselves. Of course, festivals are just the beginning.

What’s more, the Open and Reform Policy results in this. So I want to say it is a great achievement for the policy. Since we took the policy into practice, our country is developing with a rapid speed. No doubt it is an essential trend.

Last but not the least, we may get closer and closer not only to our home friends but also to many foreigners. We can never feel embarrassed for not knowing the other’s customs and manners. And more misunderstandings can be avoided as well.

To sum up, the trend has its great advantage to a certain extent. However, if we admire the western customs too much, it will be a disadvantage because China is our own country, all of us should enjoy a patriotic heart. Wish in the near future, we can see the situation that westerners are enjoying themselves on the Spring Festival.英语作文
