春节与圣诞节文化异同对比

一、引言每年的12 月25 日，是西方最为盛大的节日——圣诞节，是基督教徒纪念耶稣诞生的日子。圣诞节英文为Christmas Day 是“基督恺撒”的缩写，它由基督（Christ）和弥撒（Mass）两个词组成，意为圣诞节这天，教徒们都要去教堂举行崇拜的仪式，以庆祝耶稣基督的诞生。圣诞节源于罗马。很长时间以来圣诞节的日期都没有确定的，因为耶稣确切的出生日期是存在争议的，除了《新约》以外，没有任何记载提到过耶稣。《新约》不知道日期，当然就没有人知道确切日期了。虽然普遍教会都接受12 月25 日为圣诞节，但又因为各地教会所使用的历书不同，具体的日期并不能统一，于是就把12 月24 日至翌年1 月6 日为圣诞节节期（Christmas Tide）, 各地教会可以根据当地的具体情况，在这段日期内庆祝圣诞节。① 作为有着悠久历史的古老文明的中国，在孕育博大精深的中华民族文化的同时，也孕育出丰富多彩的民族节日，在这众多的传统节日中，最红火的要数春节。春节与清明节、端午节、中秋节并称为中国汉族的四大传统节日，其中春节是中国最红火的节日，位居中国四大传统节日之首。春节有叫阴历年、农历年、旧历年，俗称“过年、大年、过大年”。春节的历史很悠久，它起源于殷商时期年头岁尾的祭神祭祖活动。作为最重要的传统节日，人们在春节期间举行各种庆祝活动，这些活动大多以祭祀神佛、祭奠祖先、除旧迎新、迎喜接福、祈求丰年为主要内容。这篇论文从起源、习俗来比较春节与圣诞节的不同之处，从文化影响及节日意义论述春节与圣诞节的相同之处，并论述造成它们相同不同的原因。这有助于在全球化趋势加强的今天，增强与西方各国各民族的沟通与了解，为更好地开展国际交流提供一个窗口。二、春节与圣诞节的不同之处（一）起源不同 1.圣诞节的起源圣诞节，是纪念耶稣诞生的日子。圣诞节这天，教徒们都要去教堂举行崇拜的仪式，以庆祝耶稣基督的诞生。说到圣诞节的起源，就要先从圣诞故事讲起，而耶稣就是圣诞故事中必不可少的主角。据《圣经新约》记载，耶稣是上帝的儿子，为拯救人类降世为人。他主张平等、博爱，反对当时奴隶主的统治，为犹太教当权者和罗马统治阶级所憎恨，后来被钉死在十字架上。死后第三日复活。② 耶稣的出生是有一段故事的，耶稣是因着圣灵成孕，由童女马利亚所生的。当马利亚快要临盆的时候，罗马政府下了命令，全部人民到伯利恒务必申报户籍。约瑟和马利亚只好遵命。他们到达伯利恒时，天色已昏，无奈两人未能找到旅馆渡宿，只有一个马棚可以暂住。就在这时，耶苏要出生了！於是马利亚唯有在马槽上，生下耶苏。后人为纪念耶苏的诞生，便定十二月二十五为圣诞节，年年望弥撒，纪念耶苏的出世。圣诞节的起源有着深厚的宗教色彩，相比之下，春节的来源充满了传奇的色彩。 2.春节的起源春节发源于古老的中国，历史很悠久，传说早在新石器时期尧舜时就有过“春节” 的风俗。因而关于春节的起源有流传下来了很多神奇瑰丽的传说，有黄帝战胜蚩尤之说，怪兽之说，万年之说等，而这其中最为广泛流传的是怪兽之说。相传很久以前，民间出现了一种叫“年”的怪兽，凶残异常。它居住在海底，只在除夕这天爬上岸来，它一上岸就吞食人蓄，捣毁田园，吓得百姓惶恐不安。人们为了赶走年兽，就在大门外摆好桌子，放满牛头、羊头和酒等，并在院子里架起木材堆。当年兽被桌上的食物吸引来时，人们就点燃柴堆，猛敲锣鼓，大放鞭炮。火光冲天，声响如雷，吓得年兽逃回海里。而这正是春节的凌晨，所以人们把正月初一视为吉祥节日。为了纪念这天，人们把吃年饭，放鞭炮的习俗流传下来了。其实春节源于农业的记时。我国古代是一个农业著称于世的国家。在旧石器和新

英文：

Spring Festival and Christmas are two important festivals in China and the Western world respectively. Although they have some similarities, they also have many differences.

Firstly, the dates of the two festivals are different. Spring Festival is celebrated on the first day of the lunar calendar, which usually falls in late January or early February, while Christmas is celebrated on December 25th every year.

Secondly, the way people celebrate the two festivals is also different. During Spring Festival, Chinese people usually have a family reunion dinner on New Year's Eve, set off fireworks, and give red envelopes to children. In contrast, during Christmas, Westerners often decorate their homes with Christmas trees and lights, exchange gifts, and

圣诞节和春节的区别

圣诞节和春节是全球性的重大节日，但是它们在不同国家和文化背景下具有不同的意义和庆祝方式。在本篇文章中，我们将探讨圣诞节和春节之间的区别。

一、起源和背景

圣诞节是西方国家的基督教节日，庆祝耶稣基督的诞生，并于12月25日举行。海外的民众会在这一天装饰圣诞树，互赠礼物，家庭聚餐和亲友聚会，在社交媒体上互发圣诞贺卡和祝福。

春节是中国的传统节日，也被称为“农历新年”或“年节”。春节是中国的新年，通常在农历正月初一举行，相当于公历1月或2月中旬。春节是庆祝农历年的到来和告别旧年。大家会回到家乡，与家人团聚，享受传统美食，燃放烟花炸竹，舞龙舞狮等传统表演与庆祝仪式。

二、庆祝方式

两个节日的庆祝方式也各不相同。圣诞节通常表现为放假与旅游，成为大家旅游的黄金期，在欧洲热门路线上玩雪、享受美食，参观圣诞集市。同时，商家们也会关门大吉，适用这个好机会清理库存，推出优惠政策来吸引消费者购买节日商品。

与此相比，春节是中国人最重要的传统节日之一，大家通常会休假，在家中与家人团聚共度。春节期间，人们会进行各种传统庆祝活动，如舞狮、舞龙、燃放烟花和爆竹等。同时，人们会走访亲朋好友，互赠“红包”（装有现金的红色信封），并享受到中国美食中的传统美味佳肴。

三、文化差异

圣诞节通常被视为商业节日，虽然它可以被认为是庆祝基督教文化庆典的一部分，然而圣诞节的普及趋势是因为圣诞老人和赠礼等习俗的普及等无关基督教儀式。在西方国家，圣诞节通常被作为假期期间与家庭团聚的机会，商家则通过贺卡、装饰和礼品等产品的销售来赚取利润。
