New Year Feast
Spring Festival is a time for family reunion. The New Year's Feast is “a must” banquet with all the family members getting together. The food eaten on the New Year Even banquet varies according to regions. In south China, It is customary to eat “niangao” (New Year cake made of glutinous rice flour) because as a homophone, niangao means “higher and higher every year”. In the north, a traditional dish for the feast is “Jiaozi” or dumplings shaped like a crescent moon.
Setting Firecrackers
Lighting Firecrackers used to be one of the most important customs in the Spring Festival celebration. However, concerning the danger and the negative noises that lighting firecrackers may bring, the government has banned this practice in many major cities. But people in small towns and rural areas still hold to this traditional celebration. Right as the clock strike 12 o'clock midnight of New Year's Eve, cities and towns are lit up with the glitter from fireworks, and the sound can be deafening. Families stay up for this joyful moment and kids with firecrackers in one hand and a lighter in another cheerfully light their happiness in this especial occasion, even though they plug their ears.
New Year Greetings(Bai Nian)
On the first day of the New Year or shortly thereafter, everybody wears new clothes and greets relatives and friends with bows and Gongxi (congratulations)， wishing each other good luck, happiness during the new year. In Chinese villages, some villagers may have hundreds of relatives so they have to spend more than two weeks visiting their relatives.
On the first day of the new year, it’s customary for the younger generations to visit the elders, wishing them healthy and longevity.
Because visiting relatives and friends takes a lot of time, now, some busy people will send New Year cards to express their good wishes rather than pay a visit personally.
Lucky Money
It is the money given to kids from their parents and grandparents as New Year gift. The money is believed to bring good luck, ward off monsters; hence the name “lucky money”. Parents and grandparents first put money in small, especially-made red envelopes and give the red envelopes to their kids after the New Year's Feast or when they come to visit them on the New Year. They choose to put the money in red envelopes because Chinese people think red is a lucky color. They want to give their children both lucky money and lucky color.

春节习俗英文简介Customs of the Spring Festival
The Spring Festival is a traditional Chinese festival and also the most important one of the whole year. Through the evolvement of thousands of years， a series of customs are spreading far and wide.
扫尘 Sweeping the Dust
“Dust” is homophonic with “chen”(尘)in Chinese， which means old and past. In this way， ”sweeping the dust” before the Spring Festival means a thorough cleaning of houses to sweep away bad luck in the past year. This custom shows a good wish of putting away old things to welcome a new life. In a word， just before the Spring Festival comes， every household will give a thorough cleaning to bid farewell to the old year and usher in the new.
贴春联 Pasting Spring Couplets
“The Spring Couplet”， also called “couplet” and ”a pair of antithetical phrases”， is a special form of literature in China. The Spring Couplet is composed of two antithetical sentences on both sides of the door and a horizontal scroll bearing an inscription， usually an auspicious phrase， above the gate. The sentence pasting on the right side of the door is called the first line of the couplet and the one on the left the second line. On the eve of the Spring Festival， every household will paste on doors a spring couplet written on red paper to give a happy and prosperous atmosphere of the Festival. In the past， the Chinese usually wrote their own spring couplet with a brush or asked others to do for them， while nowadays， it is common for people to buy the printed spring couplet in the market.
贴窗花和“福”字 Pasting Paper-cuts and “Up-sided Fu”
Paper-cuts， usually with auspicious patterns， give a happy and prosperous atmosphere of the Festival and express the good wishes of Chinese people looking forward to a good life. In addition to pasting paper-cuts on windows， it is common for Chinese to paste the character ”fu(福)”， big and small， on walls， doors and doorposts around the houses. “Fu(福)” shows people’s yearning toward a good life. Some people even invert the character ”fu(福)” to signify that blessing has arrived because “inverted” is a homonym for ”arrive” in Chinese. Now many kinds of paper-cuts and “fu(福)” can be seen in the market before the Festival.
守岁 Staying Up Late on New Year‘s Eve
The tradition of staying up late to see New Year in originated from an interesting folk tale. In ancient China there lived a monster named Year， who was very ferocious. Year always went out from its burrow on New Year’s Eve to devour people. Therefore， on every New Year’s Eve， every household would have supper together. After dinner， no one dared go to sleep and all the family members would sit together， chatting and emboldening each other. Gradually the habit of staying up late on New Year’s Eve is formed. Thus in China， ”celebrating the Spring Festival” is also called “passing over the year (guo nian)”。 However， now there are less and less people in cities who will stay up late to see New Year in.
贴年画 Pasting New Year Prints
The custom of pasting New Year Prints originated from the tradition of placing Door Gods on the external doors of houses. With the creation of board carvings， New Year paintings cover a wide range of subjects. The most famous ones are Door Gods， Surplus Year after Year， Three Gods of Blessing， Salary and Longevity， An Abundant Harvest of Crops， Thriving Domestic Animals and Celebrating Spring. Four producing areas of New Year Print are Tohuwu of Suzhou， Yngliuqing of Tianjin， Wuqing of Hebei and Weifang of Shangdong. Now the tradition of pasting New Year paintings is still kept in rural China， while it is seldom followed in cities.
吃饺子 Having Jiaozi
On New Year’s Eve， the whole family will sit together to make jiaozi and celebrate the Spring Festival. The shape of jiaozi is like gold ingot from ancient China. So people eat them and wish for money and treasure. The tradition of having jiaozi is very important during the Spring Festival. You cannot have a complete Spring Festival without having jiaozi. (See page 82 for more information about ”jiaozi”)
看春节联欢晚会 The CCTV New Year‘s Gala
The New Year’s Gala is a variety show held by China Central Television (CCTV) since 1983. For every year since then at the turn of the Lunar New Year， the program begins at 8:00PM and lasts five or six hours. It brings laughter to billions of people， creates many popular words and produces lots of TV phenomena meriting attention. For over twenty years， its value has gone far beyond a variety show. It is essential entertainment for the Chinese both at home and abroad. Many Chinese would like to watch the gala while having the dinner on New Year’s Eve.
放鞭炮 Setting off Firecrackers
The firecracker is a unique product in China. In ancient China， the sound of burning bamboo tubes was used to scare away wild animals and evil spirits. With the invention of the gunpowder， “firecracker” is also called ”鞭炮biānpào” (“炮” in Chinese means gun) and used to foster a joyful atmosphere. The first thing every Chinese household does is to set off firecrackers and fireworks， which are meant to bid farewell to the old year and usher in the new. In the past few years， such an activity was completely or partially forbidden in big cities including Beijing due to fire and personal casualty caused by burning firecrackers. However， some Chinese thought that a Spring Festival without firecrackers was not lively enough and they burned firecrackers by stealth. So in recent years， the ban was canceled again. This shows that burning firecrackers is a very important activity during the Spring Festival.
拜年和压岁钱 New Year‘s Visit and Gift Money
On the first day of the Chinese lunar year， everybody puts on their best clothes and pays ceremonial calls on their relatives and friends， wishing them all the luck in the coming year. Juniors will greet seniors， wishing them health and longevity， while seniors will give juniors some gift money as a wish for their safety in the coming year. When friends meet， they will wish each other happiness and prosperity with a big smile. With the development of the new technology， there is a change on the way of giving New Years greetings. In recent year， it is common to send New Years greetings by such modern means of communication as telephones， emails and text messages.
逛庙会 Temple Fair
Temple fair， usually held outside temples， is a kind of folk custom in China. During the Spring Festival， temple fair is one of the most important activities， in which there are such performances as acrobatics and Wushu， numerous kinds of local snacks and many kinds of things for everyday life. In recent years， the temple fair has become a place for people to appreciate the traditional art and experience the traditional life.

篇3：春节的习俗英语版
The most important festival in China is the Spring Festival. It is said that the Spring Festival evolved from an activity known as the Winter Sacrifice. It was a custom practiced by the people of primitive society.
据说春节源于原始社会中的人们在冬天举行的献祭。
As the cold winter began to recede (退却)and the warm spring was about to begin， the people of an entire clan gathered together. They brought out their bounty(恩惠) from hunting， fishing and the field. They thanked the gods for the blessings of nature， including the mountains， rivers， the sun ，moon and stars， They thanked their ancestors， then they shared and enjoyed the sumptuous (华丽的)bounty of the land， sea， air and fields as they ate， danced and sang heartily.
随着冬季的过去和暖春的来临，整个氏族的人聚在一起，拿出他们在狩猎，打鱼，种地中得到的。他们感谢各种神，感谢祖先。人们吃着，唱着，跳着来进行这种纪念活动。
In the beginning， their activity had no fixed date. But usually it was held at the end of each winter. Gradually， through the years， it was celebrated at the end of the old year or the beginning of the new. With the changes and disintegration of primitive society， the form and content of the Winter Sacrifice also changed. Ultimately， it became a festival to bid farewell to the old year and welcome in the new year. So it came to be called the Spring Festival.
开始，他们的活动没有固定日期。但通常在冬天结束的时候进行。渐渐的变成了在一年的结尾开头之际举行。伴随着原始社会的瓦解，冬天献祭的形式与内容也发生了变化。最终变成了一个辞旧迎新的节日。

韩国七夕节：重祭祀讲究饮食
七夕最具代表性的风俗就是祈求织女星，希望自己也跟织女一样有着灵巧的手、织布织的更好。
当天早晨妇女们把香瓜、黄瓜等瓜果放在桌子上磕头祈求，让女人们织布的手艺越来越好。过一会儿，如果桌上摆的饮食上面看到有蜘蛛网的话，就认为天仙答应了她们的愿望。或者她们会在酱缸台上面摆放着井华水(早晨担的6：春节习俗
当别人说到春节这个词时，你会想到什么呢？是红红火火的灯笼？是喜庆如意的鞭炮？还是心心念念的新衣。
要了解春节，就得知道它从何而来。那些民间流传的腔年兽，除夕等。现在都只能用来“骗骗小孩！”而真正的春节，原来是用来祭祖的，而后慢慢演化，当节日在贺。
而说春节习俗，也算得上中国的传统文化吧！譬如这门神一说，出现在唐朝，当时太宗皇帝每次都会做噩梦，而两位武侯大将自愿为皇帝守门，而皇帝也不做噩梦了。
老百姓知道后，就将两位将军的画像挂在门前，用来辟邪，似乎经过百姓手中，很多东西都被神话了。
虽然我不会画什么年画，也不会画门神，但我会贴春联。在以前，春联也不叫春联，也不是用纸做的，那是用木头做的，叫“桃符”，这一词就在王安石诗中出现过：家家户户曈曈日，总把新桃换旧符。在明朝，才出现纸质的，近两年来，因为特殊情况，不能拜年，因此我的“订单”也少了，不过家中还是留了几幅，教室里便留着一幅。以前，妈妈还说出去卖字，不过到现在，也没卖过一次。依稀记得在书法老师的社区中办过一次活动，给居民送出去。
春节中还有一些传统的习俗，例如：放鞭炮。那些记忆，只存于以前的老家中，那时候，门口的雪都可以堆一个比我高的雪人哩。那时过春节，放的都是大鞭炮，一点就要跑开好几步，一开始我还被吓得双手捂耳。还有一种一长串的，
那时经常放，就放在地上一长排，但不知那时我一看到这种鞭炮，心中便有一阵惊慌。转眼到现在，放鞭炮被禁止了，不过还是有许多特别的“鞭炮”，就如有一种“天梯型”，用一个特别大的气球带着一串“绳梯”飞上天，从下往上，看到绳梯一段段发光，好生有趣。
还有一种习俗，对我来说就真成了神话，我从未亲眼看见过舞狮或舞龙，我们的老师就讲了一个关于舞狮的事。那时，老师说他们的经济条件不是很好，哥哥拜爷爷为师，爷爷还带着一位小哥哥，他们就分别表演双截棒、板凳功和舞。因为当时没有人卖艺，也没人看这些才艺，所以，他们想到了一个办法，每年春节都要围着一个个村环游。而这样没日没夜的事，要从初一一直做到初六，村民们也是十分和善，给了他们一个红包当作祝福，他们也就这样一天又一天地生活着。
春节还是有许多习俗，可是却渐渐少了，既然这样，我便不会让其消失，我要有一个完整的春节，这便是我的春节。

春节习俗大全
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。
2.贴春联
春联也叫门对、春贴、对联、对子、桃符等，它以工整、对偶、简洁、精巧的文字描绘时代背景，抒发美好愿望，是我国特有的文学形式。每逢春节，无论城市还是农村，家家户户都要精选一幅大红春联贴于门上，为节日增加喜庆气氛。这一习俗起于宋代，在明代开始盛行，到了清代，春联的思想性和艺术性都有了很大的提高，梁章矩编写的春联专著《槛联丛话》对楹联的起源及各类作品的特色都作了论述。
3.贴窗花和倒贴“福”字
在民间人们还喜欢在窗户上贴上各种剪纸——窗花。窗花不仅烘托了喜庆的节日气氛，也集装饰性、欣赏性和实用性于一体。剪纸在我国是一种很普及的民间艺术，千百年来深受人们的喜爱，因它大多是贴在窗户上的，所以也被称其为“窗花”。窗花以其特有的概括和夸张手法将吉事祥物、美好愿望表现得淋漓尽致，将节日装点得红火富丽。
4.贴年画
春节挂贴年画在城乡也很普遍，浓黑重彩的年画给千家万户平添了许多兴旺欢乐的喜庆气氛。年画是我国的一种古老的民间艺术，反映了人民朴素的风俗和信仰，寄托着他们对未来的希望。年画，也和春联一样，起源于“门神”。 随着木板印刷术的兴起，年画的内容已不仅限于门神之类单调的主题，变得丰富多彩，在一些年画作坊中产生了《福禄寿三星图》、《天官赐福》、《五谷丰登》、《六畜兴旺》、《迎春接福》等精典的彩色年画、以满足人们喜庆祈年的美好愿望。 我国出现了年画三个重要产地：苏州桃花坞，天津杨柳青和山东潍坊;形成了中国年画的三大流派，各具特色。
5.守岁
除夕守岁是最重要的年俗活动之一，守岁之俗由来已久。最早记载见于西晋周处的《风土志》：除夕之夜，各相与赠送，称为“馈岁”;酒食相邀，称为“别岁”;长幼聚饮，祝颂完备，称为“分岁”;大家终夜不眠，以待天明，称曰“守岁”。
6.吃饺子
民间春节吃饺子的习俗在明清时已有相当盛行。饺子一般要在年三十晚上12点以前包好，待到半夜子时吃，这时正是农历正月初一的伊始，吃饺子取“更岁交子”之意，“子”为“子时”，交与“饺”谐音，有“喜庆团圆”和“吉祥如意”的意思。
7.放爆竹
中国民间有“开门爆竹”一说。即在新的一年到来之际，家家户户开门的8：春节习俗
春节习俗 -春节
春节习俗之扫尘――民谚说：腊月二十四，掸尘扫房子”。北方叫扫房，南方叫掸尘。室内屋外，房间屋后，彻底进行打扫、衣被用具、洗刷一新，干干净净地迎新春。
春节习俗之门画――据《山海经》载称：唐太宗李世民生病时，梦里常听到鬼哭神嚎之声，以至夜不成眠。这时，大将秦叔宝、尉迟恭二人自告奋勇，全身披挂地站立宫门两侧，结果宫中果然平安无事，李世民认为两位大将太辛苦了，心中过意不去，遂命画工将他俩人的威武形象绘之在宫门上，称为“门神”。东汉蔡邕《独断》记载，汉代民间已有门上贴“神荼”、“郁垒”神像，到宋代演变为木板年画。后来，民间争相仿效，几经演变，形成了自己的独特风格，便是现在的年画了。中国现存最早的年画是宋版《隋朝窈窕呈倾国之芳容图》。
春节习俗之春联――是从两千多年前战国时期的“桃梗”演变而来的。《淮南子》上说，桃符（即桃梗）是桃木刻成的。上面刻着灭降福的咒语，一年一换。五代后蜀皇帝孟昶在过春节时心血来潮，令人将桃树削片，他提笔在上面题写了联句：“新年纳余庆，佳节号长春”。这就是中国最早的春联了。至于春联这一名称的正式诞生，则在明朝。明朝开国皇帝朱元璋建都金陵后，曾在除夕时下旨：“公卿士庶之家，须写春联一副，以缀新年”。以后，春联得以推广，沿袭至今过年时，各家各户都要贴春联。
爆竹――春节燃放爆竹之俗始于汉代。据南梁人宗懔撰写的《荆梦岁时记》记载：“正月一日……鸡鸣而起，先于庭前爆竹从辟山妖恶鬼。”古时放爆竹，是用竹子放进火内燃烧，由于竹内空气受热膨胀，便发出“噼噼啪啪”的响声，以此避邪驱鬼，祈盼来年吉祥幸福。到了唐宋以后，发时了用火药制成的鞭炮。
春节习俗之拜年――据明朝陆容《菽园杂记》记载，拜年习俗最早行于明朝京都。朝官往来，不管认识与否都要互拜，百姓则各拜亲友。清代时兴在春节时送“拜盒”，即将贺年帖放在精致美观的饰盒里送给亲友，以示庄重。今日中国民间，“拜年”已成为一种传统习俗，至亲爱友和同事们，走家串户、登门拜年，互致问候。
春节习俗之压岁钱――过年给孩子一些压岁钱是中国的传统民俗。压岁钱饱含着长辈对晚辈的祈福求安。在中国，关于压岁钱的来由，民间曾有一些流传甚广的故事，比如说古时候有一个身黑手白的'妖精，名字叫“祟”，每年除夕出来祸害小孩。于是人们就点亮灯火通宵不睡，并把铜钱放在孩子枕边以避邪，这就是“守祟”“压祟”，后来也称为“守岁”“压岁”。但这些传说于史无据，不足为凭。压岁钱的习俗真正始于何时众说纷纭。>>
古时文人雅士则流行互送拜年钻。拜年钻就是如今的贺年片，是由古代的名片演变而成。据清代赵翼考证，西汉时没有纸，削竹木为刺，上书名姓，叫“名刺”。后来还用大红绒线在织锦上绣字为“名片”。东汉后用纸代木，叫做“名纸”。六朝时简称为“名”，唐代叫“门状”。宋代还别称“手刺”、“门刺”。明清时曾叫做“寸褚”、“红单”。
春节食俗
腊八粥――最初是佛教的一种宗教节日食品。《中国年节食食俗》载：释迦牟尼成佛之前，曾游遍印度的名山大川，以寻找人生的真谛。他到了北印度的摩揭陀国时，由于又累又饿、昏倒在地，这时有一位牧女见此情景，急忙把自己带的午餐拿出来，一口一口地喂释迦牟尼。牧女的午餐，是由各种食品混合组成的，里面有采来的各种野果。释迦牟尼吃了这顿香美的午餐，元气顿复。后来他在尼连河里洗了个澡，到菩提树下静坐沉思，于十二月初八日得道成佛。从此每年到“腊七”这天，寺院的僧侣们都要取清新干果，放入洗净的器皿中终夜熬至天明。将熬成的粥用以供奉佛祖，届时，寺院僧侣诵经演法，尔后喝粥以示纪念。这就是腊八粥的来源。佛教在我国流传很深远而沿袭了这一习俗。至于腊八粥用料，北宋以杏仁、桃仁、果脯、江米、黄豆、豆子等；南宋时以胡桃、松子、柿栗之类；元代粥色则是殷红的，亦称红糟粥、朱砂粥，可能用赤豆、莲子、花生、红枣之类致红的原料。

春节介绍
春节是中国民间非常隆重最富有特色的传统节日，也是最热闹的一个古老节日之一。一般指正月初一，是一年的第一天，又叫阴历年，俗称“过年”。但在民间，传统意义上的春节是指从腊月初八的腊祭或腊月二十三或二十四的祭灶，一直到正月十九，其中以除夕和正月初一为高潮。
春节习俗
童谣
小孩儿小孩儿你别馋，过了腊八就是年;
腊八粥，喝几天，哩哩啦啦二十三;二十三，糖瓜粘;二十四扫房子;
二十五，冻豆腐;二十六，去买肉;
二十七，宰公鸡;二十八，把面发;
二十九，蒸馒头;三十晚上熬一宿;
贴春联
春联亦名“门对”、“春帖”，是对联的一种，因在春节除夕时张贴，故名。春联的一个源头是桃符，所以才有那句“千门万户尤眨总把新桃换旧符”的诗句。最初人们以桃木刻人形挂在门旁以避邪，后来画门神像于桃木上，最后简化为直接在桃木板上题写门神名字。春联的另一来源是春贴。古人在立春日多贴“宜春”二字，后渐发展为春联。春联真正普及始于明代，与朱元璋的提倡有关。据清人陈尚古的《簪云楼杂说》中记载，有一年朱元璋准备过年时，下令每家门上都要贴一副春联，以示庆贺。原来春联题写在桃木板上，后来改写在纸上。桃木的颜色是红的，红色有吉祥，避邪的意思，因此春联大都用红纸书写。但庙宇用黄纸，守制(服孝未满)用白、绿、黄三色，第一年用白纸，第二年绿纸，第三年黄纸，第四年丧服满才恢复用红纸。因满族尚白，清宫廷春联用白纸，蓝边包于外，红条镶于内。所以，一到大年三十，人们就把早已准备好的春联贴在大门上。
贴门神
中国各地过年除夕都有贴门神的风俗。最初的门神是刻桃木为人形，挂在门的旁边，后来是画成门神人像张贴于门。传说中的神荼、郁垒兄弟二人专门管鬼，有他们守住门户，大小恶鬼不敢入门为害。唐代以后，又有画钟馗故里赐福镇宅圣君钟馗门神，猛将秦琼、尉迟敬德(尉迟恭)二人像为门神的，还有画关羽、张飞像为门神的。门神像左右户各一张，后代常把一对门神画成一文一武。门神分三类：第一类是“大门门神”，多贴在车门或整间大门上，高约四五尺，宽约二三尺。第二类是“街门门神”，多贴小街门上，高约二尺，宽约一尺。这两种门神都是一黑脸一白脸两位尊神。白左黑右，白善易，黑狞恶，各手执槊钺。第三类是“屋门门神”，较街门门神稍小有限，也是黑白二神，但也有黑白二神是坐像的。屋门最多是贴“麒麟送子”像，两个敷粉涂脂梳太子冠的娃娃，各乘麒麟。这种门神，本应贴在新结婚的屋门上，以取吉利的意思，后来也就作普通街门的新年点缀品了。
给压岁钱
压岁钱是由长辈发给晚辈的，有的家里是吃完年夜饭后，人人坐在桌旁不许走，等大家都吃完了，由长辈发给晚辈，并勉励儿孙在新的一年里学习长进，好好做人。有的人家是父母在夜晚待子女睡熟后，放在他们的枕头下过年给压岁钱，体现出长辈对晚辈的关爱和晚辈对长辈的尊敬，是一项整合家庭伦理关系的民俗活动。
守岁
中国民间在除夕有守岁的习惯，俗名“熬年”。守岁从吃年夜饭开始，这顿年夜饭要慢慢地吃，从掌灯时分入席，有的人家一直要吃到深夜。还有的人家除了很小的孩子，其他人整晚都不能入眠。根据宗懔《荆楚岁时记》的记载，至少在南北朝时就已有吃年夜饭的习俗。 守岁的习俗，既有对如水逝去的岁月含惜别留恋之情，又有对来临的新年寄以美好希望之意。

“红”寓意着红红火火，“鲤鱼”有寓意着年年有余。
在我的家乡里，放鲤鱼早已成为开年必不可少的一项活动。在这时，只要家里有个5，6岁的小孩，全家子都会出动。陪着孩子一起放生鲤鱼，祝福他年年红。
小的时候，我记得我放生过好几条红鲤鱼。最记忆犹新的，是那一次：
那次，全家都陪我出来，就连天天忙于工作的外公也陪我。从家开始，开车开了半小时，走路又走了半小时。当时有多少人我不记得了，好像开了足足两辆车。车上挤得很，除我之外，还我的表姐表妹。车里既然挤，自然就很闹腾。
到了地点四周都是山，中间有一条小河，弯弯曲曲。离地三米高，看起来挺深。小孩子性子急，还没等车停稳。车上就已经开始大呼小叫了。下车后，一股清爽的空气迎面扑来，我贪婪的享受着清爽的空气。“真舒服！”“比城市里的空气好多了！”人们说到。孩子们都开始打闹起来，而大人们则在收拾东西。只见外婆用她那粗糙的手伸进车子的后备箱，从里面搬出了一个红色的桶。吃力的行我们这里走来。
我们的注意力都被这个桶所吸引了。走近一瞧，里面乘着半桶水。水里时不时溅起水花，仔细一瞧，里面有着三四条红鲤鱼，活蹦乱跳的。“让我摸摸”表妹说，手伸进桶里。“拿回去！别脏了财气！”大人们呵斥着。
到了河边，大人们看了看时间，跟我们说：“到时候说‘福如东海，寿比南山，万岁万岁万万岁’”我拿起一条鱼，滑滑的，一不注意就会飞出手去。“福如东海，寿比南山，万岁万岁万万岁”我喊到，扔了下去。表妹就不行了，鱼直接从手中挣脱出去，跳进了水中。外婆见她没说话，对着河里喊到：“福如东海，寿比南山，万岁万岁万万岁！”还不忘责怪表妹，“你怎么不喊啊？！”
不知鲤鱼还在不在……
