关于介绍文化中国的英语作文

In the north of China, there lies a 6,700-kilometer-long (4,161-mile-long) ancient wall. Now well-known as the Great Wall of China, it starts at the Jiayuguan Pass of Gansu Province in the west and ends at the Shanhaiguan Pass of Hebei Province in the east. As one of the Eight Wonders in the world, the Great Wall of China has become the symbol of the Chinese nation and its culture. 

Lots of beautiful legends and stories about the Great Wall took place following along the construction, and since that time these stories have spread around the country. Those that happened during construction are abundant, such as Meng Jiangnu's story and the legend of the Jiayuguan Pass. Meng Jiangnu's story is the most famous and widely spread of all the legends about the Great Wall. The story happened during the Qin Dynasty (221BC-206BC). It tells of how Meng Jiangnu's bitter weeping made a section of the Great Wall collapse. Meng Jiangnu's husband Fan Qiliang was caught by federal officials and sent to build the Great Wall. Meng Jiangnu heard nothing from him after his departure, so she set out to look for him. Unfortunately, by the time she reached the great wall, she discovered that her husband had already died. Hearing the bad news, she cried her heart out. Her howl caused the collapse of a part of the Great Wall. This story indicates that the Great Wall is the production of tens of thousands of Chinese commoners. 

Another legend about the Jiayuguan Pass tells of a workman named Yi Kaizhan in the Ming Dynasty (1368BC-1644BC) who was proficient in arithmetic. He calculated that it would need 99,999 bricks to build the Jiayuguan Pass. The supervisor did not believe him and said if they miscalculated by even one brick, then all the workmen would be punished to do hard work for three years. After the completion of the project, one brick was left behind the Xiwong city gate. The supervisor was happy at the sight of the brick and ready to punish them. However Yi Kaizhan said with deliberation that the brick was put there by a supernatural being to fix the wall. A tiny move would cause the collapse of the wall. Therefore the brick was kept there and never moved. It can still be found there today on the tower of the Jiayuguan Pass. 

In addition to the above-mentioned stories about the construction of the Great Wall, there are also plenty of stories about current scenic spots. A famous one is the legend of the Beacon Tower. This story happened during the Western Zhou Dynasty (11th century BC-711 BC). King You had a queen named Bao Si, who was very pretty. King You liked her very much, however Bao Si never smiled. An official gave a suggestion that setting the beacon tower on fire would frighten the King's subjects, and might make the queen smile. King You liked the idea. The subjects were fooled and Bao Si smiled at the sight of the chaos. Later enemies invaded Western Zhou, King You set the beacon tower on fire to ask for help. No subjects came to help because they had been fooled once before. Thus, King Zhou was killed by the enemy and Western Zhou came to an end.

　　In the picture, we can see that there are some vases made of china, which are typical products in China since ancient time. An image of a panda playing Kung Fu① is carved on the surface of the vases, in which both Panda and Kung Fu are the symbols of Chinese elements. Besides, the Chinese mahjong which is growing out of a vase is also a typical Chinese element。
　　It is obvious that the main purpose of the picture is to reflect the phenomenon of “China fever”， referring to a foreign passion and enthusiasm② on Chinese elements, especially culture. There are reasons accounting for the growing interest in Chinese elements. For one thing, for the past decades, China has made conspicuous progress in all fields such as economy, science and technology, and comprehensive strength of China has been enhanced greatly. For another, due to the progress, China presents a new image to the world and is becoming increasingly attractive and appealing③  to the whole world. Nearly every day news stories are reported and broadcasted④  about what is going on in and around China. And By 2010, there are 72 Confucius Institutes in 26 European countries established to spread Chinese language and culture⑤。
　　Toward this kind of “China craze”， we should hold a right attitude. On the one hand, we should take pride in the “China craze” by foreigners, which originates from the increasing prestige of China. On the other hand, it is the responsibility of each Chinese citizen to popularize and promote excellent traditional Chinese culture and guard a favorable image of our motherland。
参考作文地带整理翻译：
　　这幅图中我们可以看到一些瓷制的花瓶，这是中国自古以来的典型产品。瓶身上画着一只正在练习中国功夫的熊猫，熊猫和功夫同样是中国文化的代表。此外，花瓶中长出的“麻将”也是典型的中国元素。
　　这幅漫画的主要目的是反映“中国热”的现象，即国外对中国元素尤其是中华文化的一种追捧和热情。国外对中国元素兴趣上升的这种现象是有原因的。首先，过去的几十年中，中国在经济、科技等各个领域都取得了显著的进步，中国的综合国力已经大幅提升。另一方面，由于这些进步，中国以崭新的形象出现在世人面前，在全世界越来越有吸引力。几乎每天都有很多关于中国及其周边正在发生的新闻报道。截止到2010年，已经有26个欧洲国家建立了72所孔子学院来传播中国语言和文化。
　　对于这种“中国热”的现象我们应该持有正确的态度。一方面我们应该为外国人的“中国热”感到自豪，这源于中国声望的提高。另一方面，弘扬优秀的中国传统文化和捍卫祖国的形象，是每一位中国公民的责任。
