中国新年的起源

农历新年是现在通常被称为春节,因为它开始从最初的弹簧(第24术语的变化与大自然的共用。它的起源是太老了,不能被追踪。有几种解释闲荡。所有的同意,无论如何,这个词,而仅仅意味着现代汉语中“年”,最初的名字的怪物的兽,开始在人们的前一晚,新的一年的开始。

传说有一个叫“年”的怪兽,有一个大嘴巴,会吞下很多人用一口。人们都很害怕。有一天,一位老人来拯救他们,提供制服撵出来。他对年说:“我听到说你很能干,但你可以吞食猎物的地球上其他牲畜代替人绝不是你值得对手吗?”所以,它吞下很多的野兽,地球也harrassed捕食家畜,他们的确是的爱好艺术的确是的人。

之后,这位老人消失骑的怪兽。他原来是不朽的神。如今年过去了,其他野兽的猎物还害怕进入森林,人们开始享受宁静的生活。那位老人离开前,他曾告诉人们把红纸上装饰窗户,每年年末都来吓跑年的情况下溜回,因为红的颜色是兽害怕。

从那时起,传统的观察征服年进行,直到万代。术语“过年”,这也许意味着“存活”成为今天的“庆祝”(新)年度“郭”在中国拥有两"的意思pass-over”和“观察”。习惯的贴红纸,方鞭炮来吓跑年应该有机会还健在。松然而,今天的人们已经遗忘他们为什么要这么做的原因,只是觉得色彩和声音增添了刺激的庆祝活动。

春节是中国最重要的节日,人们是所有家庭成员聚在一起的时候,就像西方的圣诞节。所有人离家回去,成为最繁忙的交通系统的时间大约半个月的春节。机场、火车站、长途汽车站挤满家返回者。

严格地说,春天节日开始每年在早期的第12个太阴月,最后将在第一个太阴月到明年。其中最重要的就是除夕和春节前三天。中国政府允许有7天为中国农历新年。

许多关税陪伴过春节。有些一直沿用到今天,有些已经失传了。

在农历12月的第八天,许多家庭会熬腊八粥、美味的粥由糯米、小米、种子,枣,莲子、豆类、龙眼、银杏。

23日的第12个太阴月叫做初步的前夕。就在这个时候,人们对厨房神献祭。然而,大多数家庭现在享受自己制造可口的食物。

在初步的前夕之后,人们开始准备即将到来的新年。这就是所谓的“见到新年进入”。

商店老板正忙着当每个人都出去买必需品的新年。材料不仅包括食用油、大米、面粉、鸡、鸭、鱼、肉,而且坚果的水果,糖果和类型。更重要的是,各种不同的装饰,新衣服和鞋给孩子们的礼物以及老年,朋友和亲戚,都是购买的目录上。

春节到来之前,人们室内和室外的家园,以及他们的衣服、床上用品、所有的器具。

那人开始装饰他们清理房间的气氛为特色的欢呼和盛宴。所有的门都会贴春联,中国书法与黑人在红纸。内容包括房主的祝福,愿你拥有一个光明的前途,祝新年快乐。同样,图片门的神和财富的将会出现在前门辟邪,受欢迎的和平和丰富。

汉字“赋”(意思是福还是幸福)是必须的。人物放在纸上可粘贴或颠倒了,通常在中国的“反富”与“赋”的谐音来,都是发成“fudaole。”更重要的是,两大灯笼都可以提高两边的大门。红色的剪纸窗户玻璃,色彩鲜艳的年画和贴在墙上。

人们重视春节前夕。那时,所有的家庭成员一起吃晚餐。这顿饭是比平常更多的奢侈。的菜肴,比如鸡肉、鱼肉和豆腐不能排除,因为在中国,他们的发音,分别是“吉”、“玉”和“香瓜子”,代表吉兆,丰富和丰富的内涵。晚饭后,全家人会坐在一起聊天,看电视。近年来,春节晚会上播出中国中央电视台(CCTV)是必不可少的娱乐为中国海内外。按照习俗,每个家庭将会熬夜,迎接新年的到来。

在新年醒来时,每个人都盛妆打扮。首先,他们将给他们的父母。然后每个孩子都会得到的钱作为新年礼物,在红色的纸包裹起来。在中国北方人会吃饺子,或者饺子,吃早餐,因为他们认为“饺子”,意思是“招标的声音在新”。同时,形状像金子一样的饺子是中国古代锭从。所以人们吃他们,希望为金钱和财富。

中国南方吃蛋糕做niangao(新年)——一种用糯米包在这种场合,因为作为引导、niangao意味着“高而又高,一年之后,另一个问题。”第5天之后,春节是一段美好的时光,亲戚,朋友、同学以及同事交换问候,礼品和聊天悠闲。

放烟花是最典型的习俗的春节。人们认为爆裂的声音能够驱走妖魔鬼怪。然而,如此的一个活动被完全或部分禁止大城市的政府出于安全,噪音和污染的考虑。作为替代,一些以爆竹声音买音带听,一些休息一点点猛涨到声音太,而另一些人买爆竹手工艺挂在屋子里。

活泼的气氛不只填充每个家庭,而且大街小巷也是如此。一系列的活动,如舞狮、舞龙、灯笼节日和寺庙展览会将于数天。春节然后结束在元宵节是完成。

中国有56个民族。少数几乎庆祝他们的春天节日那天,汉族有不同的习俗。
