No one will ask an aged ninety - year-old to finish the impossible task. But the old man did not do so, he said: "I and thou Bi Liping insurance, refers to the south of Henan, as in Hanyin, may?" this is the old man's spirit of self-reliance and refuse to be cowed or submit. It is also applicable in our life. We should not rely solely on others and strive to succeed in life, so that you will have confidence in yourself. I remember the day when I vacation at home doing math homework encountered a math problem, do not a long time tocome up with ideas, so I'm going to school tomorrow to ask someone else what to do or that other students directly copy it. So I put down that math problem. Go to see the extracurricular books suddenly see this article "" great determination and courage to feel very interesting so I look down. See the old man ninety years old is even digging when I once shocked: "difficult to me even a ninety year old man is not as"? The old man ninety years old have to dig their own mountain and I can only fifteen six years old so easily give up? So I put the math problem to do at last I struggle in half an hour and finally found the way. After finishing the feeling, there is a feeling that there is a kind of excitement that can not be said, that is the result of the effort that you try to get.

There are a lot of examples in our lives. For example, "Edison" failed thousands of times when he made the electric light. But Edison had the spirit of "digging mountains and persevering" to get the final success -- invented the electric light. There are famous scientists in ancient China Zhang Heng "invented" seismograph "when he is in trouble for him demoted to court, while others are engaged in scientific research is not to laugh at him, but he ignored the opinions of others is unremittingly to make the final, it is because of his unremittingly, finally invented the world's first seismograph -" seismograph".Our country is a "great determination and courage" spirit to produce "atomic bomb" and "bomb", "Shenzhou eight", "Temple No. two," "harmony" and so on the achievements in scientific research.We are learning to "great determination andcourage" spirit "conviction and confidence, unremittingly, refuse to be cowed or submit" spirit, will your goals continue to struggle hard, should be like the "foolish old man" the same face difficulties, pragmatic, hard work.

关于东方传统神话的中英语演讲稿作文
关于东方传统神话的中英语演讲稿作文全文共6篇示例,供读者参考篇1Mythical Tales from the EastHi everyone! Today I'm going to tell you all about some really cool and amazing myths from the East. These stories have been passed down for thousands of years, and they teach us important lessons while also being super entertaining. Get ready for adventures with gods, goddesses, magical creatures, and epic heroes!Let's start with Chinese mythology. One of the most famous stories is the tale of the Monkey King. His real name is Sun Wukong, and he's this crazy powerful monkey who can fly, shape-shift, and do all sorts of awesome magic tricks. One day, Sun Wukong causes a huge ruckus in Heaven after the Jade Emperor refuses to give him an important job. He fights the armies of Heaven and even gives the gods a really hard time! Eventually, Buddha steps in and imprisons the Monkey King under a mountain for 500 years as punishment. But the story doesn't end there. Sun Wukong later gets freed and joins themonk Xuanzang on an incredible journey to India to obtain sacred Buddhist scriptures. They face tons of dangers and monsters along the way, but the Monkey King's powers help them through every obstacle. His determination and bravery teach us to never give up, no matter how tough things get.Another famous myth is the story of Pangu, the first living being in the universe according to Chinese folklore. In the beginning, there was nothing but chaos - a swirling mess of yin and yang energies all jumbled together. Then, a cosmic egg formed within this chaos. After 18,000 years, Pangu broke out of the egg! As he grew taller and taller, yin and yang split into the earth and sky. His breath became the wind and clouds. When he died, his body transformed into the world - his eyes the sun and moon, his blood the rivers, his hair the stars, and so on. The story explains how the world was created from a single being, which is pretty mind-blowing if you ask me!Now let's hop over to Japanese mythology, which is full of wild stories too. My favorite is the tale of the brave warrior Susano-o. He's the powerful storm god and brother of Amaterasu, the sun goddess. One day, Susano-o gets mad at his sister and starts wrecking things in a crazy rage. He throws a flayed horse through the roof of Amaterasu's weaving hall, reallyscaring her. Amaterasu gets so upset that she hides in a cave, plunging the whole world into darkness! The other gods have to come up with clever ways to lure her out, like hanging a mirror and jewels outside the cave entrance. Finally, the handyman god Amaterasu causes her to peek out in curiosity, and light is restored to the world. Susano-o gets banished to the earth as punishment, but he slays a mighty eight-headed dragon and builds the first rice paddies. This myth reveals the importance of controlling our anger and also celebrates the life-giving powers of the sun.Over in India, one of the most epic myths is the Ramayana. This story follows the adventures of Prince Rama after his wife Sita is kidnapped by the ten-headed demon king Ravana. With the help of the monkey god Hanuman and a huge army of monkeys and bears, Rama goes to battle to rescue Sita on the island of Lanka. There's massive war between Rama's forces and Ravana's demon armies. Things look really bad when Ravana captures Rama, but the prince fires a secret, super powerful arrow given to him by the gods and blows off all of Ravana's heads! In the end, good triumphs over evil as Rama gets Sita back and is crowned king. The Ramayana teaches us that by staying righteous, brave, and faithful like Rama, we can overcome any challenges.Those are just a few examples of the totally awesome myths from the East. They're jam-packed with unbelievable magic, epic heroes overcoming massive odds, fierce battles between good and evil, and wild supernatural events. But they also contain deeper messages about virtues like courage, persistence, anger management, and faith. Myths were a way for ancient cultures to explain the mysteries of the world through entertaining stories. Even though they're works of fiction, these tales have been passed down for generations because they teach us important moral lessons that are still so relevant today.What did you think of those myths? Which one was your favorite? I personally loved hearing about the mischievous Monkey King and his crazy antics. Maybe you related more to Rama's heroic determination to rescue his wife against all odds. Or perhaps you were awed by the story of Pangu creating the entire world from parts of his own body. Whichever tales resonated with you, I hope you walked away with a greater appreciation for the rich mythology and amazing storytelling traditions of the East. These imaginative stories will continue sparking wonder and passing on wisdom for many more generations to come!篇2Eastern Mythology: Legends that Span GenerationsHi everyone! Today I'm going to talk about some really cool stories from Asian mythology. These legends have been passed down for centuries through different cultures. Get ready to hear about brave heroes, terrifying monsters, and magical adventures!Let's start with one of the most famous tales from Chinese folklore - the story of the Monkey King. Have you ever heard of the Journey to the West? It's an epic adventure following a Buddhist monk's quest to bring holy scriptures from India back to China. The monk's most loyal companion is the Monkey King, a powerful and mischievous monkey born from a rock.The Monkey King could fly, transform into different animals, and possessed a magical staff that could change size. He was almost all-powerful...until the Buddha had to step in and trap him under a mountain for rebelling against the heavens! After centuries imprisoned, the repentant Monkey King joined the monk's journey to protect him from evil spirits and monsters along the way. Their adventures are filled with action, humor, and valuable lessons about humility and perseverance.Next, we'll dive into Japanese mythology with the legend of the Sun Goddess Amaterasu. Her bad-tempered brother, theStorm God Susano'o, was always causing trouble. One day in a jealous rage, he destroyed Amaterasu's rice fields and even threw a flayed horse through the roof of the palace's weaving hall! Amaterasu became so furious that she sealed herself in a cave, plunging the world into darkness.The other gods and goddesses tried everything to lure Amaterasu out, but nothing worked. Finally, the handyman god Amatsuhiko had a clever idea. He rounded up dancers, musicians, and decorated a tree with shiny jewels and mirrors. As the performers sang and danced outside the cave, Amaterasu peeked out to see what the commotion was. When she saw her radiant reflection in the mirrors, she emerged from the cave, returning light to the world. Crisis averted, thanks to quick thinking!How about a scary one? In India, there are tales of the fearsome female demon Rakshasa who haunts the night, preying on humans. With fangs, claws, and glowing eyes, she looks absolutely terrifying! According to the myths, Rakshasas have the ability to shape-shift to lure victims. They might appear as a beautiful woman, or disguise themselves as someone's friend or relative before attacking.The Rakshasas are said to be most powerful during the dark phase of the moon. So people avoid going out at night during this time to keep safe. Rakshasas aren't always evil though - sometimes they use their powers to test people's courage and virtue. If the humans pass their tests, the Rakshasas reward them with treasures or blessings. But if they fail, well...let's just say you don't want to find out!Ready for a love story? Let me tell you about Sungnyeo, the first female novelist in Korean history. She was born in the year 1532, and from a young age showed incredible talent as a writer and poet. Her pen name was "The Scholar Who Has Renounced The World."Sungnyeo lived during the Joseon Dynasty when women faced severe discrimination and few rights. Yet through her romantic stories about tragically separated lovers, she gave a powerful voice to women's desires for love and respect. Her most acclaimed work is The Story of Hong Gildong, about a young man who leads a band of noble robbers on adventures while pursuing his soulmate So Wol.Though little is known about Sungnyeo's personal life, her words have echoed through the centuries and inspiredgenerations of writers, both male and female. To this day, she remains an icon of art overcoming oppression in Korea.Last but not least is the enduring myth of the Ramayana from Hindu tradition. This massive epic includes gods, demons, magical weapons, and even talking monkeys! The brave prince Rama wages an epic struggle to rescue his beloved wife Sita after she is kidnapped by the evil demon king Ravana.On his quest, Rama forms an army of talking bears and monkeys led by the virtuous monkey prince Hanuman. Despite being incredibly strong, Hanuman is also humble, intelligient, and totally devoted to helping Rama defeat the menacing demon forces. After a climactic battle, Rama slays Ravana and a joyful Sita is reunited with her husband thanks to the heroic sacrifices of Hanuman and the other animal allies. The Ramayana teaches about righteousness,bravery, and the ultimate triumph of good over evil.Whew, we covered a lot of really cool stories from all across Asia today! From the mischievous Monkey King to the fearsome Rakshasas to the brilliant Sungnyeo and all the way to the victorious Prince Rama, I hope you enjoyed learning about these tales that have been cherished for so many centuries. Which adventure was your favorite? Maybe you'll get inspired to writeyour very own epic myth someday! Let me know what other legendary stories you'd like to hear about next time. Thanks for listening everyone!篇3Eastern Myths and LegendsHi everyone! My name is Sophie and today I'm going to talk about some really cool myths and legends from the East. These stories have been passed down for hundreds and hundreds of years, and they're filled with amazing adventures, powerful gods and goddesses, and valuable life lessons.Let's start with Chinese mythology. One of the most famous stories is the legend of the Monkey King. His name was Sun Wukong and he was born from a magical rock. Sun Wukong was super strong and could transform into different animals and objects. He caused a lot of chaos in Heaven until the Buddha stepped in to calm him down. There are lots of fun stories about the Monkey King's mischievous adventures.Another popular Chinese myth is the story of Pangu, the first living being. According to the legend, the universe was like a big black egg in the beginning. Then Pangu broke out and created everything we see today - the earth, sky, mountains, rivers, plantsand animals. He's considered the creator of the world in Chinese mythology. Pretty cool, right?Next up is Japanese mythology. One famous story is about Amaterasu, the Shinto sun goddess. Her brother, the storm god Susanoo, was very unruly and caused Amaterasu to hide in a cave, plunging the world into darkness. The other gods had to lure her out with music, dancing and a clever trick. These myths teach the importance of harmony, beauty and bringing light into dark times.The Japanese also have tales about yokai, which are supernatural monsters, ghosts and spirits. Some yokai are scary, like the oni (demons) with horns and wild hair. But others are fun and mischievous, like the cheeky tanuki raccoon dogs that love playing tricks. You'll find yokai characters in Japanese anime, manga, video games and more!Moving on to India, there are incredible myths in Hinduism. The most famous are probably the ancient Sanskrit epics, the Ramayana and Mahabharata. The Ramayana is the story of Prince Rama, who has to rescue his wife Sita after she gets kidnapped by the evil demon king Ravana. Along the way, Rama befriends an army of monkey warriors and the god Hanuman, who has amazing supernatural powers.The Mahabharata is an epic battle between two groups of cousins, the Pandavas and the Kauravas. The Pandavas have the mighty warrior Arjuna and Lord Krishna on their side. Krishna is one of the most important deities and shares his wisdom in the Bhagavad Gita scripture found inside the Mahabharata. These ancient Indian myths are all about bravery, justice, doing the right thing and achieving enlightenment.Finally, let's look at Korean mythology. One famous legend is about the creation of the Korean people by a bear and a tiger who wanted to become human. The god Hwanung instructed them to stay in a dark cave, avoid the sunlight and only eat sacred foods like mugwort and garlic for 100 days. The bear passed the test and was transformed into a beautiful woman who gave birth to a son. This son is considered the first Korean person.Another cool story is about Kumiho, fearsome fox spirits that could live for centuries by eating humans or condensed energy like clouds and souls. Kumiho could shapeshift into beautiful women to lure victims, but their fox tails gave them away. If a Kumiho went 1000 days without eating human flesh, she could become fully human herself. These Kumiho tales show how dangerous desires can become if not kept in check.Those are just a few examples of the awesome myths from China, Japan, India and Korea. They may be fictional stories, but they reveal a lot about ancient cultures and beliefs. Mythology helps us understand different civilizations while also reminding us of universal human values like courage, wisdom, and respect for nature. Those ancient lessons are just as meaningful today as they were thousands of years ago.I hope you've enjoyed this little journey into Eastern mythology! Let me know if you have any other favorite legends you'd like to share. Thanks for listening!篇4Myths and Legends from the EastHey friends! Today I want to tell you about some really cool stories from ancient Eastern cultures. These myths and legends have been passed down for thousands of years, and they're full of amazing adventures, powerful gods and goddesses, and valuable lessons.Let's start with one of the most famous myths from ancient China - the story of Pangu, the first living being. According to this myth, in the very beginning there was nothing but chaos - a swirling mixture of yin and yang energies. Then, a cosmic eggformed within this chaos. Inside the egg was Pangu, who slept for 18,000 years!When he finally woke up, Pangu used a huge axe to crack open the egg's shell. The light, airy part of the egg white floated up and formed the heavens and skies. The heavier yolk settled down and became the earth. Pangu stood in the middle, using his strong arms to push the heavens and earth apart for another 18,000 years to create space. His breath became the wind and clouds. When he died, different parts of his body transformed into different parts of the natural world, like his voice becoming thunder.Another amazing myth comes from ancient India and features the elephant-headed god Ganesha. One day, Ganesha's mother Parvati was having a bath and created a small boy out of the dirt and soap to stand guard for her. When Shiva, Parvati's husband and one of the main gods, returned home, he didn't recognize the boy. The boy refused to let Shiva through, so in anger Shiva cut off his head!When Parvati explained that the boy was their son, Shiva felt terrible. To make up for his mistake, he gave the boy a new head - that of an elephant. Ganesha the elephant-headed god wasborn, and he's known as the remover of obstacles and bringer of good luck.Heading west to ancient Mesopotamia, there's the Epic of Gilgamesh - one of the oldest written stories ever found! Gilgamesh was a powerful king who went on a long journey to find the secret of eternal life after his friend Enkidu died. He met all kinds of mythical creatures, like the Bull of Heaven sent by the gods to kill him. But in the end, Gilgamesh learned that immortality was a fool's errand, and he should focus on being a wise and just ruler instead.I'll wrap up with a classic myth from ancient Greece - the story of Odysseus and the Cyclops from Homer's epic The Odyssey. Odysseus was a clever Greek hero trying to get home from the Trojan War. But he and his men got trapped in a cave by the man-eating, one-eyed Cyclops giant Polyphemus. To escape, Odysseus got the Cyclops drunk on wine, then poked out his huge eye with a sharpened pole when he fell asleep. Ouch! Odysseus and his men then tied themselves to the undersides of Polyphemus' sheep to sneak out of the cave.These are just a tiny sample of the thousands of amazing myths and legends from Eastern cultures. They're all so creative, action-packed, and full of unforgettable heroes, monsters, anddeities. What's your favorite story or mythical character? I'd love to hear about it! Stories have the power to teach us about different cultures, history, values, and the incredible imagination of ancient people. That's why these epic myths and legends are so important to learn about and keep alive.篇5East Asian Myths and LegendsHi everyone!

Dragons in Chinese myths can shapeshift, fly, and control the weather. They are seen as powerful and auspicious symbols. One story says the Dragon King's daughters turned into humans to thank a kind man who gave them water when they were thirsty.Then there are the Eight Immortals in Chinese mythology. They were eccentric hermits and saints who became immortal. One of them, Iron-Crutch Li, could travel through space on his crutch. Another named Han Xiang could walk through walls and read people's minds.Moving on to Japan, there are a ton of crazy yokai - that means monsters or supernatural creatures. The kappa is one weird yokai that looks like a scaly green child with a water-filled bowl on its head. According to legend, if the water spills out, the kappa loses its power.Another famous Japanese monster is the oni. Oni are scary ogre-like demons with horns, fangs and flaming hair. They cause trouble and torment people, but also have the power to bring good luck. Some traditions leave out oni masks to avoid angering them.Then we have kami, the shinto gods and spirits. One myth tells of the sun goddess Amaterasu who got mad and hid in a cave, plunging the world into darkness. The other gods had to use tricks and dances to lure her out.Possibly the coolest kami is Raijin, the god of thunder and storms. He beats loud drums to create thunder and shootslightning from his body. According to legend, he can also shapeshift into different animals.Korean mythology has really fascinating tales too. There's the story of the Tiger and the Persimmon. Basically, a greedy old man caught a magical tiger and locked it up. But when his sons let it out, it swallowed the old man whole. In the end, the tiger spits out the old man after he promises to change his wicked ways.My favorite Korean myth might be the one about the Boy Who Swallowed a Monk. In this story, a poor family meets a monk and feeds him a bowl of rice and shrimp. Then they discover their young son has swallowed the monk! After keeping him in their home, the monk turns into a dragon and blesses the family for their generosity.Last but not least, we have myths from Vietnam. In one legend, dragons were sent down from heaven to defend the Vietnamese people from cruel feudal lords and foreign invaders.A Vietnamese mother even married one of the dragon lords and had 100 kids!Another famous figure in Vietnamese mythology is the Immortal Saint Giong. While he was just a normal baby, one day farmers saw him suddenly grow into a giant, fully-armoredwarrior. Saint Giong led an army to drive away invaders, then turned into a bird and flew away back to heaven.Well, those are just a few of the many awesome myths and legends from East Asia. Between the monkey kings, thunder gods, tricky yokai and all the rest, there's so much incredible imagination and storytelling in these ancient tales. Maybe you'll get inspired to come up with your own epic myth one day!篇6Epic Tales from the EastHi everyone! Today I want to tell you about some really cool stories from ancient Eastern mythology. These tales are filled with powerful gods, brave heroes, fantastical creatures, and valuable lessons.Let's start with some Hindu myths from India. One of the most popular is the story of Rama and Sita from the epic Ramayana. Rama was a virtuous prince who had to rescue his wife Sita after she was kidnapped by the evil demon king Ravana. Rama formed an army of monkey soldiers led by the monkey god Hanuman. After an epic battle, Rama was able to defeat Ravana and be reunited with Sita. This story teaches about beinga good person and fighting for what is right, no matter how difficult the challenge.Another famous Hindu story is about the god Krishna from the Mahabharata. Krishna was an avatar of the supreme god Vishnu who came to Earth to fight against evil forces. Even though he was just a young boy, Krishna performed many brave and miraculous deeds. My favorite is when he defeated the mean serpent Kaliya who had poisoned a river. Krishna danced on top of Kaliya to humble him! Krishna's tales remind us to use our courage and wits to overcome obstacles.Switching over to Chinese mythology, let me tell you about the tale of the Monkey King. The Monkey King was birthed from a magical rock and possessed amazing abilities likecloud-somersaulting and shape-shifting into different animals. After causing chaos in Heaven, he was imprisoned under a mountain by Buddha. Centuries later, the monk Xuanzang freed the Monkey King to be his bodyguard on a journey to India to obtain sacred scriptures. This journey was filled with crazy adventures battling evil monsters and spirits. The Monkey King teaches us to have confidence but also be humble.Another beloved Chinese myth is the story of Hou Yi, the legendary archer. Hou Yi had to shoot down the nine extra sunsthat were burning the Earth after the original ten suns rose at once. Using his amazing archery skills, he was able to shoot down nine of the suns, allowing life to continue. As a reward, Hou Yi was given an elixir of immortality from the Queen Mother of the West. However, his greedy wife Chang'e drank it all and floated up to the moon! Now there is a rabbit on the moon making the immortality elixir. This story reminds us to be wary of greed and treat others with respect.Moving to Japan, one of the most famous tales is about the Sun Goddess Amaterasu. Her brother, the Storm God Susano'o, was angry that Amaterasu received a better land offering. In his rage, he wrecked Amaterasu's rice fields and even threw a flayed pony into her weaving hall! Insulted, Amaterasu hid in a cave, plunging the world into darkness. The other gods tried all sorts of tricks to lure her out, until the crafty goddess Ama-no-Uzume exposed her breast and danced outrageously, making the others laugh so hard that Amaterasu emerged from curiosity. This amusing myth shows how laughter can cure sadness and conflict.Another Japanese myth that I find really cool is about the brave warrior Susanoo slaying the eight-headed serpent Orochi to rescue a young maiden. Inside Orochi's body were a sword,jewel, and lush lands – rewards that became three sacred imperial treasures of Japan. This epic battle shows that standing up to evil bullies can reveal hidden treasures!Those are just a few examples of the vast richness of Eastern mythology. While the details and characters vary across different cultures, these ancient stories tend to share common themes –the importance of virtues like courage, humility, and respect, as well as the ultimate triumph of good over evil. Heroes, gods, and mythical beasts show us valuable lessons about how to live life through symbolic tales. Myths also help cultures celebrate their unique histories, identities and worldviews.Even today, thousands of years later, these classic myths from the East continue to be retold and admired. Their timeless wisdom, imagination and entertainment value have been passed down for generations. Who knows, maybe someday our modern stories and legends will be revered like these ancient epics! For now, I just think they're super awesome and such a fun way to learn about different cultures. Let me know if you have any other questions!。
