春節,是農歷正月初壹,又叫陰歷年,俗稱“過年”。這是我國民間最隆重、最熱鬧的壹個傳統節日。春節的歷史很悠久,它起源於殷商時期年頭歲尾的祭神祭祖活動。按照我國農歷,正月初壹古稱元日、元辰、元正、元朔、元旦等,俗稱年初壹,到了民國時期,改用公歷,公歷的壹月壹日稱為元旦,把農歷的壹月壹日叫春節。
The Spring Festival is the first day of the first month of the lunar calendar. This is the most grand and lively traditional festival in our country. The Spring Festival has a long history. It originated from the worship of gods and ancestors at the beginning and end of the Yin and Shang dynasties. According to the Chinese lunar calendar, the first day of the first lunar month was called Yuanri, Yuanchen, Yuanzheng, Yuanshuo, New Years Day, etc., commonly known as the first day of the new year. In the Republic of China, the Gregorian calendar was used. The first of the month is called the Spring Festival.
2、端午節的由來(Dragon Boat Festival)
The Dragon Boat Festival, also called Double Fifth Festival, is celebrated on the fifth day of the fifth moon of the lunar calendar. It is one of the most important Chinese festivals, the other two being the Autumn Moon Festival and Chinese New Year. The origin of this summer festival centers around a scholarly government official named Chu Yuan. He was a good and respected man, but because of the misdeeds of jealous rivals he eventually fell into disfavor in the emperors court. Unable to regain the respect of the emperor, in his sorrow Chu Yuan threw himself into the Mi Low river. Because of their admiration for Chu Yuan, the local people living adjacent to the Mi Lo River rushed into their boats to search for him while throwing rice into the waters to appease the river dragons. Although they were unable to find Chu Yuan, their efforts are still commemorated today during the Dragon Boat Festival.
端午節,又稱為五五節,因為端午節是在農歷的五月五日,是三個重要的中國節慶之壹,其它兩個分別是中秋節和農歷新年。 這個節日的由來是古代中國有壹位博學多聞的官吏屈原,他是壹位愛民而且又受到尊崇的官吏,但是由於壹位充滿嫉妒的官吏陷害,從此在朝廷中被皇帝所冷落。由於無法獲得皇帝的重視,屈原在憂郁的情況下投汨羅江自盡。 由於對屈原的愛戴,汨羅江畔的居民匆忙的劃船在江內尋找屈原,並且將米丟入汨羅江中,以平息汨羅江中的蛟龍。即使他們當時並沒有找到屈原,但是他們的行為,直到今天在端午節的時候,仍然被人們傳頌紀念著。
