描写家乡的英语作文

Wherever I am, I find it hard to resist the tempting call of my hometown. Situated at the north-western tip of Xin-zhu County, bordering Tao-yuan County with a small winding stream is my old hometown, the humble and bleak fishing and farming village. The residents there used to make their living by fishing in their boats on the nearest waters of the Taiwan Strait. Later, those boats were heavily outrun by modern ships. Since then, life has never been easy for the villagers, as they have to live off the tiny pieces of land. I often feel that they are peasants rather than farmers. The village is famed for its windy weather, bad for farming but good for the strengthening of character. I can still recall how those salty winds howled all the way through my childhood. But as I now look back upon those tough days and drab rural lives, I feel blessed; I seem to have gone through the ordeal and am capable of facing any hardships. As I am growing older, in my heart, my hometown has become the symbol of the deepest nostalgia and stood for an everlasting affection. I, in turn, can always seek solace through visualizing my lovely hometown.

无论我身在何处，总觉得很难抗拒故乡诱人的呼唤。朴实而显荒凉的故乡，位於新竹县西北隅，仅以一蜿蜒小溪与桃园县接壤，是一农渔兼具的村庄。居民过去在台湾海峡近海水域，以小船捕鱼维生，稍后，小船远不敌现代化船舶。从此，大多数村民的生活，就不曾安逸，因为他们必须依赖小小农地过活。我常觉得他们是小农，而非一般的农夫。村子以多风闻名，刮风的天气，对农耕不利，却有益於强化性格，我仍旧清晰地记得，童年时期咸咸的风总是吹个不停。可是当我现在回顾那段艰苦的日子和沈闷的乡野生活，反倒觉得很有福气；似乎觉得已经通过了严厉的试炼，而现在任何苦难都能面对。年纪渐长，心里觉得故乡已经象徵最深沈的乡愁，也代表永恒的依恋，而我只能藉著慕想故乡的影像以寻求慰藉。

Knowledge, wisdom and Creativity

A Term Paper

Submitted to the Department of Foreign Languages and Literature

In Partial Fulfillment of the

Study of ENG2103A

English Prose I

刘玉婷

Grade 2013

According to the dictionary, knowledge is information and understanding about a subject which a person has or which all people have. Comparatively speaking, wisdom refers to the ability to take advantage of your experience and knowledge in order that you are able to make sensible decisions or reasonable judgments. As we have already seen, knowledge is not equivalent to wisdom while it is on the basis of wisdom.

There is no lack of universal genius. In many cases, their lectures contain a large stock of abstract information, which may be boring and elusive for us to learn or master. The audiences would unconsciously worship them as a result of their being wealthy in knowledge. We have got to confess that they are much more knowledgeable. Nevertheless, some of these people gradually become helpless and panic when plunging in to the condition that they need to deal with something that they have not learned in the book. On the contrary, the rest do quite well in, or to say, have a gift in connecting their knowledge with the fact, then creating a completely new knowledge and solving the difficult issues smoothly. And this is what is called wisdom.

Unfortunately, compared with the education in the European countries, it is a pity that Chinese education seems to emphasize more on the teaching of knowledge, neglecting the cultivation of the creative ability. Most educators still cannot figure out why wisdom is more important than knowledge. What is worse, during the educational activities, their craze about the knowledge clouds students’ hunger of wisdom and kills their creativity. Even if you can get high grades or recite a book

backwards fluently, it just means that you have a good master of the textbooks. You probably succeed to repeat the knowledge tens of thousands of times to others. Nevertheless, it is not wisdom while you never actively think and voluntarily explore something deeper.

Certainly, I am not trying to put a damper on things or to negate the presence of knowledge, but trying to alert that knowledge is a pretty significant basis of creativity and wisdom instead of an obstacle to creating wisdom. As is known to all, knowledge is limited while wisdom and creativity are limitless. Only when the knowledge is transferred into wisdom can it shows its value.

The Wine Culture of NuJiang

When you visit NuJiang in addition to enjoy the beautiful landscape, there are three things you should try, or the extreme views will lack some climax. The first thing is to drink concentric wine, the second thing is to try liusuo, the third thing is to play in the water. Today I will mainly introduce NuJiang’s culture of concentric wine .

Lisu’s culture of wine can be described as broad and profound, colorful, unique, it is not only the crystallization of the Lisu material culture and spiritual culture, but also as the representative of Lisu enthusiasm that is bold and unrestrained. Lisu is the host of Sanjiang, which Lisu nationality are mainly distribution in the Jinsha River, Lan -cang River, Nu River where is my hometown.

Lisu is a hardworking , brave and bold nation. Wine has a very unique feelings in their cultural life, which is the symbol of their expression of joy and friendship. Lisu’s wine have rich culture, and best known as to the number of "concentric wine", concentric wine is representative of the Lisu wine culture.

When Lisu preside guests, the host or hostess generally toast guests three bowls of concentric wine and will toast no longer. But if guests to retaliate the owner, it will make guests until drunk. Lisu drink concentric wine very civilized, men and women bend each arm round each shoulder and antiphonal singing, which is men and

women drink and nobody produce evil, lyrics or long or short. The lyrics content from the history of the Chinese nation to grandparents, friendship, lucky life, work orders, etc.

Lisu people entertain with it is brewed rice wine that alcohol degree is not high and taste sweet , but the stamina is very high, if drinking in the cool wind, red will float in the face at once. In recent years, the concentric wine has spawned a new form of toast "Three Rivers", which is similar to the concentric wine, The difference is three people drink a bowl of wine. Theother way toast, called "high mountain and flowing water" that is the most horrible way of toast. It is said, when the guests drink, the host side the flagon and add wine until wine is exhausted by the guests. During this process without stopping and can’t spilled the wine out of mouth, or do it again. 到怒江除了饱览绝美山水，有三件事是你一定要尝试的，不然极致的美景中会少了那么一点点高潮。第一件事 喝同心酒，第二件事 过溜索，第三件事 亲水。今天我主要介绍一下怒江同心酒文化。

傈僳族的酒文化可谓是博大精深、绚丽多彩且独具特色，它是傈僳族物质文化和精神文化的结晶，也是傈僳族热情奔放、真诚待客的写照。傈僳族是“三江的主人”(傈僳族分布区域主要集中在金沙江、澜沧江、怒江三江流域).

傈僳族是一个勤劳勇敢而豪放的民族，在文化生活中，他们对酒有着非常独特的感情，酒是他们表达欢乐和友谊的象征。傈僳族酒文化内涵丰富，最有名的当要数“同心酒”，同心酒是傈僳族酒文化的代表。

当有客人时，男主人或女主人一般会敬客人三杯同心酒就不再敬。但如果客人回敬的话主人就一定会让你大醉才休。傈僳族喝同心酒极为文明，就是男女同喝也不会让人产生邪念，男女相互搂在肩上后对唱，歌词或长或短，内容从民族历史到祖辈、朋友友情、幸运生活、工作嘱咐等等，应有尽有，蔚为大观。

傈僳人待客用酒是自酿的米酒，酒精度不高，入口香甜，但后劲特别足，酒后怕见风，凉风一吹准晕。近年来，由“同心酒”又衍生出一种新的敬酒形式：“三江并流”，跟饮“同心酒”类似，只是多了一名敬酒的，三人同饮一杯酒。还有一种敬酒方式，叫“高山流水”，也是最恐怖的。传说，客人边喝，主人边用酒壶添酒，直到把壶中酒喝光，中途不能停顿，也不能把酒洒到外边，否则要把过程再复制一遍。
