介绍我的家乡昭通大关的作文

1. At the end of the Zhou Dynasty, the area we now know as China had fallen into a state of fragmentation and conflict. While the Zhou dynasty had ruled for several centuries, several other states, originally feudal domains, tried to carve out their own kingdoms. The state of Qin would eventually emerge the victor and unify all of China under one rule for the first time in history.
2. Qu Yuan served as minister to the Zhou Emperor. A wise and articulate man, he was loved by the common people. He did much to fight against the rampant corruption that plagued the court-- thereby earning the envy and fear of other officials. Therefore, when he urged the emperor to avoid conflict with the Qin Kingdom, the officials pressured the Emperor to have him removed from service. In exile, he traveled, taught and wrote for several years. Hearing that the Zhou had been defeated by the Qin, he fell into despair and threw himself into the Milou River. His last poem reads:
3. Many a heavy sigh I have in my despair,Grieving that I was born in such an unlucky time.I yoked a team of jade dragons to a phoenix chariot,And waited for the wind to come,to sour up on my journey
4. As he was so loved by the people, fishermen rushed out in long boats, beating drums to scare the fish away, and throwing zong zi into the water to feed braver fish so that they would not eat Qu Yuan's body.
5. The Modern Dragon Boat Festival started from that time to this day, people commemorated Qu Yuan through Dragon Boat Races, eating zong zi, and several other activities, on the anniversary of his death: the fifth day of the fifth lunar month.
6. Dragon Boat races are the most exciting part of the festival, drawing crowds of spectators. Dragon Boats are generally brightly painted and decorated canoes. Ranging anywhere from 40 to 100 feet in length, their heads are shaped like open-mouthed dragons, while the sterns end with a scaly tail. Depending on the length, up to 80 rowers can power the boat. A drummer and flag-catcher stand at the front of the boat. Before a dragon boat enters competition, it must be "brought to life" by painting the eyes in a sacred ceremony. Races can have any number of boats competing, with the winner being the first team to grab a flag at the end of the course. Annual races take place all over China, Hong Kong, Macao, Taiwan, and other overseas Chinese communities.

走过心中风景，天空，大海，山川，还有你的微笑，真诚的祝福，我都一一铭记。 一天，走在河堤上，发现一群穿着橙色衣服的八桂义工正在拿着塑料瓶在水里捞，他们是在测试水里面有没有有害物质，一群人走在河堤上拿着捐款箱在上面走来走去，一边和路过的人说：“献出爱心，帮助贫困的孩子，谢谢、、、、、、”他们的身影虽然渺小，在烈日下发出耀眼的光芒，我放佛看到他们的背后，长出一双洁白的翅膀，那，是天使的翅膀，是爱的翅膀。 放学了，小岚走在回家的路上，看见一个老奶奶抱着婴儿在赤日下赶路，她想；要是在这样走下去，那老奶奶和婴儿不就危险了吧？于是她便把自己的伞让给了老奶奶，她微笑着说：“老奶奶，太阳那么大，你也岁数也大了，还带着一个小孩儿呢，可受不住这太阳的照射，这伞也不值几个钱，要是你不嫌弃，您就拿去吧。”老奶奶用不标准的普通话结结巴巴地说：“真是太谢谢你了。”放学路上，同样有美丽的风景演绎。 生活中，时刻有美丽的风景，让人感动。 国庆回了一趟老家，老家真美啊，一条小溪由门前淙淙流过，小溪上一条小木桥横贯溪上，夕阳下，爷爷悠然地在渔船上垂钓，村庄中，时闻鸡鸣犬吠。啊，这不就是救远笼下的“小桥流水人家”美丽的景色么？ 也曾流连于花花大世界的彩葵园，，那里的葵花一片片，金灿灿，远远望去，好似金霞盖地。走近一看，却发现一个个葵花像太阳般，，金黄金黄，随风摇曳之际，散发出迷人的色彩，此情此景，真比“映日荷花别样红”更壮观啊！ 在老家的吊脚楼上，凭栏仰天，一轮明月正挂中天，这时，也不由我感叹：“露从今夜白，月是故乡明。”看来古时候也有如此的美景啊。 人生处处有风景，这话不假。生活中的风景，自认中的风景无不入我眼帘，发现风景，才能发现美，也才能发现自己，因为发现美，自己也一定会被美所融化，被美所包围，被美所迷醉，然后也做一个美丽的人。
