  向外国人介绍中国的春节

  The Spring Festival is the most important festival for the Chinese people and is when all family members get together, just like Christmas in the West. All people living away from home go back, becoming the busiest time for transportation systems of about half a month from the Spring Festival. Airports, railway stations and long-distance bus stations are crowded with home returnees.

  对中国人来说,春节是最重要的节日,春节是家里所有的成员相聚的时刻,就像西方的圣诞节一样。所有远离家乡的人都会回来,因此春运交通系统最繁忙的时刻大约持续半个月。机场,火车站和长途汽车站挤满了回家的人们。

  The Spring Festival falls on the 1st day of the 1st lunar month, often one month later than the Gregorian calendar. It originated in the Shang Dynasty (c. 1600 BC-c. 1100 BC) from the people's sacrifice to gods and ancestors at the end of an old year and the beginning of a new one.

  春节是阴历的第一天,通常比阳历晚一个月。春节起源于商朝(公元前1600-公元前1100年)人们在年末岁初的时候供奉上帝和祖先。

  Strictly speaking, the Spring Festival starts every year in the early days of the 12th lunar month and will last till the mid 1st lunar month of the next year. Of them, the most important days are Spring Festival Eve and the first three days. The Chinese government now stipulates people have seven days off for the Chinese Lunar New Year.

  严格来讲,春节每年于阴历第十二个月的早些时候一直持续到下一年的阴历第一个月。在这段期间,最重要的日子就是除夕和正月初一至初三这几天。中国政府现在规定人们在春节休假七天。

  Many customs accompany the Spring Festival. Some are still followed today, but others have weakened.

  有许多伴随春节的风俗。一些习俗今天仍然被延续着,而有一些风俗已经渐渐被遗忘了。

  On the 8th day of the 12th lunar month, many families make laba porridge, a delicious kind of porridge made with glutinous rice, millet, seeds of Job's tears, jujube berries, lotus seeds, beans, longan and gingko.

  在阴历腊月初八,许多家庭煮由糯米,小米,薏米,红枣浆果,莲子,豆类,龙眼,银杏组成的美味八宝粥。

  The 23rd day of the 12th lunar month is called Preliminary Eve. At this time, people offer sacrifice to the kitchen god. Now however, most families make delicious food to enjoy themselves.

  腊月二十三被称作小年。在这一天,人们会祭拜灶神。然而现在,许多家庭会做可口的饭菜自个享受。

  After the Preliminary Eve, people begin preparing for the coming New Year. This is called "Seeing the New Year in".

  小年以后,人们开始准备即将到来春节的年货,翘首迎新年。

  Store owners are busy then as everybody goes out to purchase necessities for the New Year. Materials not only include edible oil, rice, flour, chicken, duck, fish and meat, but also fruit, candies and kinds of nuts. What's more, various decorations, new clothes and shoes for the children as well as gifts for the elderly, friends and relatives, are all on the list of purchasing.

  商店店主在那个时候会很忙因为每个人都出去购买春节的必需品。所买东西不仅包括食用油,大米,面粉,鸡鸭鱼肉,还有水果,糖果和各种坚果。尤为重要的是各种各样的装饰品,比如给小孩买新衣服和新鞋和给老人,朋友和亲戚买礼物。

  Before the New Year comes, the people completely clean the indoors and outdoors of their homes as well as their clothes, bedclothes and all their utensils.

  在新年到来之前,人们彻底地清扫室内和室外以及洗衣服,床上用品和所有的餐具。

  Then people begin decorating their clean rooms featuring an atmosphere of rejoicing and festivity. All the door panels will be pasted with Spring Festival couplets, highlighting Chinese calligraphy with black characters on red paper. The content varies from house owners' wishes for a bright future to good luck for the New Year. Also, pictures of the god of doors and wealth will be posted on front doors to ward off evil spirits and welcome peace and abundance.

  然后人们开始装饰干净的房间,营造喜庆和欢乐的节日氛围。把所有的门板上贴上突出中国书法的红纸黑字春联。春联内容丰富多彩有房主希望锦绣前程和期盼来年好运。为了避开恶鬼在前门上也会贴上门神和财神来欢迎和平与富足。

  The Chinese character "fu" (meaning blessing or happiness) is a must. The character put on paper can be pasted normally or upside down, for in Chinese the "reversed fu" is homophonic with "fu comes", both being pronounced as "fudaole." What's more, two big red lanterns can be raised on both sides of the front door. Red paper-cuttings can be seen on window glass and brightly colored New Year paintings with auspicious meanings may be put on the wall.

  意味着祝福和快乐的福字不可缺少。福字可以正着糊也可以倒着粘贴,因为在汉语中,‘倒福’和‘福到’是同音的,发的音都是‘福到了’。尤其是,房子前门口的两边可以吊两个大红灯笼。在窗户玻璃上可以看到红色剪花和在墙上可以挂具有吉祥含义的颜色鲜艳的年画。

  People attach great importance to Spring Festival Eve. At that time, all family members eat dinner together. The meal is more luxurious than usual. Dishes such as chicken, fish and bean curd cannot be excluded, for in Chinese, their pronunciations, respectively "ji", "yu" and "doufu," mean auspiciousness, abundance and richness. After the dinner, the whole family will sit together, chatting and watching TV. In recent years, the Spring Festival party broadcast on China Central Television Station (CCTV) is essential entertainment for the Chinese both at home and abroad. According to custom, each family will stay up to see the New Year in.

  人们非常重视除夕。在除夕这一天,所有的家庭成员会一起吃团圆饭。团圆饭会比以前更加丰盛。鸡,鱼和豆腐饭菜必不可少的,因为在汉语中它们的发音分别是"ji", "yu" and "doufu,"意味着幸运,丰富和富裕。吃完饭以后,全家人会坐在一起聊天和看电视。近几年来,对在国内和国外的中国人来说,收看中央电视台举办的春节联欢晚会是一项必要的娱乐活动。根据传统,每个家庭都会熬夜来迎接新年。

  Waking up on New Year, everybody dresses up. First they extend greetings to their parents. Then each child will get money as a New Year gift, wrapped up in red paper. People in northern China will eat jiaozi, or dumplings, for breakfast, as they think "jiaozi" in sound means "bidding farewell to the old and ushering in the new". Also, the shape of the dumpling is like gold ingot from ancient China. So people eat them and wish for money and treasure.

  Southern Chinese eat niangao (New Year cake made of glutinous rice flour) on this occasion, because as a homophone, niangao means "higher and higher, one year after another." The first five days after the Spring Festival are a good time for relatives, friends, and classmates as well as colleagues to exchange greetings, gifts and chat leisurely.

  南方人在春节早晨吃年糕(由糯米粉制作的新年年糕),因为年糕的同音是每年节节高升。春节后的前五天是拜访亲戚,朋友,同学,同事来互致问候,互送礼物和悠闲聊天的好时候。

  Burning fireworks was once the most typical custom on the Spring Festival. People thought the spluttering sound could help drive away evil spirits. However, such an activity was completely or partially forbidden in big cities once the government took security, noise and pollution factors into consideration. As a replacement, some buy tapes with firecracker sounds to listen to, some break little balloons to get the sound too, while others buy firecracker handicrafts to hang in the living room.

  The lively atmosphere not only fills every household, but permeates to streets and lanes. A series of activities such as lion dancing, dragon lantern dancing, lantern festivals and temple fairs will be held for days. The Spring Festival then comes to an end when the Lantern Festival is finished.

  不仅每一个家庭,而且街道上和小巷里都弥漫着春节喜庆热闹的氛围。一系列的庆祝活动例如舞狮,灯节和庙会将会持续几天。当灯展进入尾声的时候,春节也就结束了。

  China has 56 ethnic groups. Minorities celebrate their Spring Festival almost the same day as the Han people, and they have different customs.

  中国一共有56个民族,少数民族和汉族人们几乎是在同一天庆祝春节而且他们有不同的风俗习惯。

  春节,是农历正月初一,又叫阴历年,俗称“过年”。这是我国民间最隆重、最热闹的一个传统节日。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。按照我国农历,正月初一古称元日、元辰、元正、元朔、元旦等,俗称年初一,到了民国时期,改用公历,公历的一月一日称为元旦,把农历的一月一日叫春节。

  春节到了,意味着春天将要来临,万象复苏草木更新,新一轮播种和收获季节又要开始。人们刚刚度过冰天雪地草木凋零的漫漫寒冬,早就盼望着春暖花开的日子,当新春到来之际,自然要充满喜悦载歌载舞地迎接这个节日。千百年来,人们使年俗庆祝活动变得异常丰富多彩,每年从农历腊月二十三日起到年三十,民间把这段时间叫做“迎春日”,也叫“扫尘日”,在春节前扫尘搞卫生,是我国人民素有的传统习惯。

  然后就是家家户户准备年货,节前十天左右,人们就开始忙于采购物品,年货包括鸡鸭鱼肉、茶酒油酱、南北炒货、糖饵果品,都要采买充足,还要准备一些过年时走亲访友时赠送的礼品,小孩子要添置新衣新帽,准备过年时穿。

  在节前要在住宅的大门上粘贴红纸黄字的新年寄语,也就是用红纸写成的春联。屋里张贴色彩鲜艳寓意吉祥的年画,心灵手巧的姑娘们剪出美丽的窗花贴在窗户上,门前挂大红灯笼或贴福字及财神、门神像等,福字还可以倒贴,路人一念福倒了,也就是福气到了,所有这些活动都是要为节日增添足够的喜庆气氛。

  春节的另一名称叫过年。在过去的传说中,年是一种为人们带来坏运气的想象中的动物。年一来。树木凋蔽,百草不生;年一过,万物生长,鲜花遍地。年如何才能过去呢?需用鞭炮轰 ,于是有了燃鞭炮的习俗,这其实也是烘托热闹场面的又一种方式。

  春节是个欢乐祥和的节日,也是亲人团聚的日子,离家在外的孩子在过春节时都要回家欢聚。过年的前一夜,就是旧年的腊月三十夜,也叫除夕,又叫团圆夜,在这新旧交替的时候,守岁是最重要的年俗活动之一,除夕晚上,全家老小都一起熬年守岁,欢聚酣饮,共享天伦之乐,北方地区在除夕有吃饺子的习俗,饺子的作法是先和面,和字就是合;饺子的饺和交谐音,合和交有相聚之意,又取更岁交子之意。在南方有过年吃年糕的习惯,甜甜的粘粘的年糕,象征新一年生活甜蜜蜜,步步高。待第一声鸡啼响起,或是新年的钟声敲过,街上鞭炮齐鸣,响声此起彼伏,家家喜气洋洋,新的一年开始了,男女老少都穿着节日盛装,先给家族中的长者拜年祝寿,节中还有给儿童压岁钱,吃团年饭,初二、三就开始走亲戚看朋友,相互拜年,道贺祝福,说些恭贺新喜、恭喜发财、恭喜、过年好等话,祭祖等活动。

  节日的热烈气氛不仅洋溢在各家各户,也充满各地的大街小巷,一些地方的街市上还有舞狮子,耍龙灯,演社火,游花市,逛庙会等习俗。这期间花灯满城,游人满街,热闹非凡,盛况空前,直要闹到正月十五元宵节过后,春节才算真正结束了。
