春节习俗 Customs of the Spring Festival

春节习俗Customs of the Spring FestivalThe Spring Festival is a traditional Chinese festival and also the most important one ofthe whole year. Through the evolvement of thousands of years, a series of customsare spreading far and wide.扫尘Sweeping the Dust“Dust” is homophonic with “chen”(尘)in Chinese, which means old and past. In thisway, “sweeping the dust” before the Spring Festival means a thorough cleaning ofhouses to sweep away bad luck in the past year. This customshows a good wish ofputting away old things to welcome a new life. In a word, just before the Spring Festivalcomes, every household will give a thorough cleaning to bid farewell to the old yearand usher in the new.贴春联Pasting Spring Couplets“The Spring Couplet”, also called “couplet” and “a pair of antithetical phrases”, is aspecial form of literature in China. The Spring Couplet is composed of two antitheticalsentences 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 sideof 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 coupletwritten on red paper to give a happy and prosperous atmosphere of the Festival. In thepast, the Chinese usually wrote their own spring couplet with a brush or asked others todo for them, while nowadays, it is common for people to buy the printed springcouplet 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 prosperousatmosphere of the Festival and express the good wishes of Chinese people lookingforward to a good life. In addition to pasting paper-cuts on windows, it is common forChinese to paste the character “fu(福)”, big and small, on walls, doors and doorpostsaround the houses. “Fu(福)” shows people’s yearning toward a good life. Somepeople even invert the char acter “fu(福)” to signify that blessinghas arrived because“inverted” is a homonymfor “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 EveThe tradition of staying up late to see New Year in originated froman interesting folktale. In ancient China there lived a monster named Year, who was very ferocious. Yearalways went out fromits burrow on New Year’s Eve to devour people. Therefore, onevery New Year’s Eve, every hous ehold would have supper together. After dinner, noone dared go to sleep and all the familymembers would sit together, chatting andemboldening each other. Gradually the habit of staying up late on New Year’s Eve isformed. Thus in China, “celebrating the Spring Festival” is also called “passing overthe year (guo nian)”. However, now there areless and less people in cities who willstay up late to see New Year in.贴年画Pasting New Year PrintsThe customof pasting New Year Prints originated fromthe tradition of placing DoorGods on the external doors of houses. With the creation of board carvings, New Yearpaintings 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 AbundantHarvest of Crops, Thriving Domestic Animals and Celebrating Spring. Four producingareas of New Year Print are Tɑohuɑwu of Suzhou, Yɑngliuqing of Tianjin, Wuqiɑng ofHebei and Weifang of Shangdong. Now the tradition of pasting New Year paintings isstill kept in rural China, while it is seldomfollowed in cities.吃饺子Having JiaoziOn New Year’s Eve, the whole familywill sit together to make jiaozi and celebrate theSpring Festival. The shape of jiaozi is like gold ingot fromancient China. So people eatthemand wish for money and treasure. The tradition of having jiaozi is very importantduring the Spring Festival. You cannot have a complete Spring Festival without havingjiaozi. (See page 82 for more information about “jiaozi”)看春节联欢晚会The CCTV New Year's GalaThe New Yea r’s Gala is a variety show held by China Central Television (CCTV) since1983. For every year since then at the turn of the Lunar New Year, the program beginsat 8:00PM and lasts five or six hours. It brings laughter to billions of people, createsmany popular words and produces lots of TV phenomena meriting attention. For overtwentyyears, its value has gone far beyond a variety show. It is essential entertainmentfor the Chinese both at home and abroad. Many Chinese would like to watch the galawhile having th e dinner on New Year’s Eve.放鞭炮Setting off FirecrackersThe firecracker is a unique product in China. In ancient China, the sound of burningbamboo tubes was used to scare away wild animals and evil spirits. With the inventionof the gunpowder, “firecracker”is also called “鞭炮biānpào” (“炮” in Chinese meansgun) and used to foster a joyful atmosphere. The first thing every Chinese householddoes is to set off firecrackers and fireworks, which are meant to bid farewell to the oldyear and usher in the new. In the past few years, such an activity was completely orpartially forbidden in big cities including Beijing due to fire and personal casualtycaused by burning firecrackers. However, some Chinese thought that a Spring Festivalwithout firecrackers was not lively enough and they burned firecrackers by stealth. Soin recent years, the ban was canceled again. This shows that burning firecrackers is avery important activity during the Spring Festival.拜年和压岁钱New Year's Visit and Gift MoneyOn the first day of the Chinese lunar year, everybody puts on their best clothes andpays ceremonial calls on their relatives and friends, wishing themall the luck in thecoming year. Juniors will greet seniors, wishing themhealth and longevity, whileseniors 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 givingNew Years greetings. In recent year, it is common to send New Years greetings bysuch modern means of communication as telephones, emails and text messages.逛庙会Temple FairTemple fair, usually held outside temples, is a kind of folk customin China. During theSpring Festival, temple fair is one of the most important activities, in which there aresuch performances as acrobatics and Wushu, numerous kinds of local snacks andmany kinds of things for everydaylife. In recent years, the temple fair has becomea place for people to appreciate the traditional art and experience thetraditionallife.中秋节Mid-Autumn FestivalThe Mid-Autumn Festival falls on the 15th day of the 8th lunar month, usually inOctober in Gregorian calendar.The festival has a long history. In ancient China, emperors followed the rite of offeringsacrifices to the sun in spring and to the moon in autumn. Historical books of the ZhouDynasty had had the word "Mid-Autumn". Later aristocrats and literary figures helpedexpand the ceremony to common people. They enjoyed the full, bright moon on thatday, worshipped it and expressed their thoughts and feelings under it. By the TangDynasty (618-907), the Mid-Autumn Festival had been fixed, which became evengrander in the Song Dynasty (960-1279). In the Ming (1368-1644) and Qing(1644-1911) dynasties, it grew to be a major festival of China.Folklore about the origin of the festival go like this: In remote antiquity, there were tensuns rising in the sky, which scorched all crops and drove people into dire poverty. Ahero named Hou Yi was much worried about this, he ascended to the top of the KunlunMountain and, directing his superhuman strength to full extent, drew his extraordinarybow and shot down the nine superfluous suns one after another. He also ordered thelast sun to rise and set according to time. For this reason, he was respected and lovedby the people and lots of people of ideals and integrity came to himto learn martialarts fromhim. A person named Peng Meng lurked in them.Hou Yi had a beautiful and kindhearted wife named Chang E. One day on his way tothe Kunlun Mountain to call on friends, he ran upon the Empress of Heaven Wangmuwho was passing by. Empress Wangmu presented to hima parcel of elixir, by takingwhich, it was said, one would ascend immediately to heaven and become acelestialbeing. Hou Yi, however, hated to part with his wife. So he gave the elixir to Chang E totreasure for the time being. Chang E hid the parcel in a treasure box at her dressingtable when, unexpectedly, it was seen by Peng Meng.One day when Hou Yi led his disciples to go hunting, Peng Meng, sword in hand,rushed into the inner chamber and forced Chang E to hand over the elixir. Aware thatshe was unable to defeat Peng Meng, Chang E made a prompt decision at that criticalmoment. She turned round to open her treasure box, took up the elixir and swallowedit in one gulp. As soon as she swallowed the elixir her body floated off the ground,dashed out of the window and flew towards heaven. Peng Meng escaped.When Hou Yi returned home at dark, he knew fromthe maidservants what hadhappened. Overcome with grief, Hou Yi looked up into the night sky and called out thename of his beloved wife when, to his surprise, he found that the moon was especiallyclear and bight and on it there was a swaying shadow that was exactly like his wife. Hetried his best to chase after the moon. But as he ran, the moon retreated; as hewithdrew, the moon came back. He could not get to the moon at all.Thinking of his wife day and night, Hou Yi then had an incense table arranged in theback garden that Chang E loved. Putting on the table sweetmeats and fresh fruitsChang E enjoyed most, Hou Yi held at a distance a memorial ceremony for Chang Ewho was sentimentally attached to himin the palace of the moon.When people heard of the story that Chang E had turned intoa celestial being, theyarranged the incense table in the moonlight one after another and prayed kindheartedChang E for good fortune and peace. Fromthen on the customof worshiping themoon spread among the people.People in different places follow various customs, but all show their love and longingfor a better life. Today people will enjoy the full moon and eat moon cakes on that day.The moon looks extremely round, big and bright on the 15th day of each lunar month.People selected the August 15 to celebrate because it is a season when crops andfruits are all ripe and weather pleasant. On the Mid-Autumn Festival, all familymembers or friends meet outside, putting food on tables and looking up at the skywhile talking about life. How splendid a moment it is!每年农历八月十五日,是传统的中秋佳节。

迎新春送春联英语作文Spring Festival Greetings: A Cultural CelebrationThe advent of the Lunar New Year, also known as the Spring Festival, is a time-honored tradition that holds profound significance in many Asian cultures. As the world ushers in a new year, the practice of exchanging spring couplets, or "chun lian," has become an integral part of this joyous celebration. These intricately crafted poems, often adorned with auspicious symbols and vibrant calligraphy, serve as a means to convey well-wishes, celebrate the arrival of spring, and foster a sense of community and unity.At the heart of this tradition lies a deep-rooted belief in the cyclical nature of life and the perpetual renewal that spring represents. The spring couplet, or "chun lian," is a poetic expression that encapsulates the essence of this seasonal transition. Traditionally, these couplets are written on red paper and displayed prominently in homes, businesses, and public spaces, serving as a tangible manifestation of the hopes and aspirations for the coming year.The process of creating these spring couplets is a meticulous and artful endeavor. Master calligraphers and poets collaborate to craftthe perfect blend of words and visual elegance. The choice of characters, the rhythm and flow of the language, and the intricate brushstrokes all come together to create a harmonious and auspicious message. These couplets often feature themes of prosperity, longevity, and good fortune, reflecting the universal human desire for a prosperous and fulfilling year ahead.The act of exchanging spring couplets is a deeply meaningful ritual that transcends mere decoration. It is a cultural exchange, a gesture of goodwill, and a testament to the enduring traditions that have been passed down through generations. As families and communities gather to hang these couplets on their doors and walls, they are not only adorning their spaces but also cultivating a sense of shared identity and belonging.Beyond the aesthetic appeal, the spring couplet also serves as a medium for the transmission of cultural values and beliefs. The symbolism embedded within the couplets often draws upon ancient Chinese philosophy, mythology, and literature, providing a window into the rich tapestry of Asian heritage. The use of auspicious imagery, such as the dragon, the phoenix, or the peony, imbues the couplets with layers of meaning that resonate deeply with those who are steeped in this cultural tradition.The act of exchanging spring couplets is not limited to the LunarNew Year celebrations. Throughout the Spring Festival season, which typically spans several weeks, the practice of gifting and displaying these couplets continues to be an integral part of the festivities. Families may gather to carefully select the perfect couplet, considering the individual recipient's personality, aspirations, and astrological signs. This personalized approach adds a deeply meaningful and heartfelt dimension to the exchange.As the world becomes increasingly interconnected, the tradition of spring couplets has begun to transcend cultural boundaries. People from diverse backgrounds are embracing this practice as a means of fostering cross-cultural understanding and appreciation. Non-Asian communities are incorporating the exchange of spring couplets into their own celebrations, recognizing the universal appeal of the art form and the profound messages it conveys.In this era of globalization, the enduring tradition of spring couplets serves as a powerful reminder of the enduring value of cultural heritage. By preserving and sharing these practices, we not only honor the past but also cultivate a future where diverse traditions can coexist and enrich one another. The act of exchanging spring couplets becomes a bridge that connects people across boundaries, fostering a deeper understanding and appreciation of the rich tapestry of human civilization.As we welcome the new year and the promise of spring, the exchange of spring couplets stands as a testament to the resilience and adaptability of cultural traditions. Whether it is the elegant calligraphy, the poetic verses, or the underlying symbolism, these couplets continue to captivate and inspire, reminding us of the enduring power of human creativity and the timeless joy of cultural celebration.。

It is an extraordinary day in China because the old year and new year meet during this night. Since Chuxi in Chinese means removing the old, most of the activities during New Year's Eve centers on removing the old and evil and pray for the best.中国农历每年最后⼀天、也就是新年前夜被称为“除⼣”。

这⼀天在中国是特别的⼀天,因为新与旧在这天夜⾥交替。

因为除⼣在中⽂⾥的意思是除旧,所以⼤部分除⼣夜⾥的习俗也是和除去旧恶、祈求幸福相关。

The customs on Chuxi Day in different districts are almost the same; while in some places, the customs are quite special, such as in Suzhou, Beijing and Taiwan. When staying up late in Suzhou, people always wait for the bell ring from the Hanshan Temple, which is a sign of the coming year; Beijing people hold Caisui activity by stepping on the sesame straw paved in the courtyard; In Taiwan, people will put a firepan under the table when have dinner and the daughters-in-law will stay up late in the New Year's Eve, the later, the better (It is said that the elders will enjoy longevity by this way).除⼣夜的习俗在⼤部分的地区都是相似的,不过在某些地⽅也有特别的习惯,⽐如苏州、北京和台湾。

The Qingming Festival in spring is the occasion for visiting ancestral graves.清明节是扫墓拜祭先人的日子。

……The Qingming (Pure Brightness) Festival is one of the 24 seasonal division points in China, falling on April 4-6 each year. After the festival, the temperature will rise up and rainfall increases.清明是我国的二十四节气之一。

由于二十四节气比较客观地反映了一年四季气温、降雨、物候等方面的变化,所以古代劳动人民用它安排农事活动。

但是,清明作为节日,与纯粹的节气又有所不同。

节气是我国物候变化、时令顺序的标志,而节日则包含着一定的风俗活动和某种纪念意义。

因此,这个节日中既有祭扫新坟生别死离的悲酸泪,又有踏青游玩的欢笑声,是一个富有特色的节日。

清明节的传说清明节又叫寒食节,关于这个名字的由来,还有一段催人泪下的传说,其内容是这样的:中国古代战国时期,晋国的晋文公,为躲避国家叛乱,和大臣介子推等一起离开晋国,踏上了流浪之路。

在布满荆棘的流浪生活中,有一天晋文公饥寒交迫,终于病倒了,大臣介子推将自己大腿的肉割下来,烤着给晋文公吃,给他补充体力。

此后,晋文公返回晋国,登上了王位,考虑到大臣介子推曾经有恩于自己,决定重赏介子推。

然而由于奸臣的诬陷,介子推无奈之下只好带着自己的老母亲逃到绵山,过起了隐居生活。

后来,晋文公去绵山找介子推,让他出山当官。

但不论晋文公怎么叫喊甚至威胁他,介子推都不出山。

于是晋文公想,如果在山上放火,介子推经受不住烟气熏袭,定会从山里出来,就命令手下人放火。

然而谁知,熊熊大火烧秃了整个山野,还是没有见到介子推的踪影。

大火熄灭后,众人上山一看,原来介子推和母亲已经在一棵柳树下被大火活活烧死了。

为了安慰介子推的在天之灵,每到清明节这一天,人们不烧火做饭,只吃凉的饭菜,久而久之便形成了寒食的习俗。

It is a time for family members and loved ones to congregate and enjoy the full moon - an auspicious symbol of abundance, harmony and luck. Adults will usually indulge in fragrantmooncakes of many varieties with a good cup of piping hot Chinese tea, while the little ones run around with their brightly-lit lanterns."ZhongQiuJie" probably began as a harvest festival. The festival was later given a mythological flavour with legends of Chang-E, the beautiful lady in the moon.According to Chinese mythology, the earth once had 10 suns circling over it. One day, all 10 suns appeared together, scorching the earth with their heat. The earth was saved when a strong archer, Hou Yi, succeeded in shooting down 9 of the suns. Yi stole the elixir of life to save the people from his tyrannical rule, but his wife, Chang-E drank it. Thus started the legend of the lady in the moon to whom young Chinese girls would pray at the Mid-Autumn Festival.In the 14th century, the eating of mooncakes at "ZhongQiuJie" was given a new significance. The story goes that when Zhu Yuan Zhang was plotting to overthrow the Yuan Dynasty started by the Mongolians, the rebels hid their messages in the Mid-Autumn mooncakes. ZhongQiuJie is hence also a commemoration of the overthrow of the Mongolians by the Han people.During the Yuan Dynasty (A.D.1206-1368) China was ruled by the Mongolian people. Leaders from the preceding Sung Dynasty(A.D.960-1279) were unhappy at submitting to foreign rule, and set how to coordinate the rebellion without it being discovered. The leaders of the rebellion, knowing that the Moon Festival was drawing near, ordered the making of special cakes. Packed into each mooncake was a message with the outline of the attack. On the night of the Moon Festival, the rebels successfully attacked and overthrew the government. What followed was the establishment of the Ming Dynasty (A.D. 1368-1644). Today, moon cakes are eaten to commemorate this event.Mid-Autumn Day is a traditional festival in China. Almost everyone likes to eat mooncakes on that day. Most families have a dinner together to celebrate the festival. A saying goes, "The moon in your hometown is almost always the brightest and roundest". Many people who live far away from homes want to goback to have a family reunion. How happy it is to enjoy the moon cakes while watching the full moon with your family members.Glutinous Rice白粽Jujibe红枣粽子Red Bean红豆粽Salted Duck Egg咸蛋粽Pork牛肉粽Peanuts花生粽Red bean Paste豆沙粽Mixed Grain Rice杂粮粽Chestnuts板栗粽子Tea甜茶粽子Ham火腿粽子Alkaline Water碱水粽子小孩小孩你别馋,过了腊八就是年。
