一、春节介绍
Introduction to Spring Festival
The Spring Festival falls on the first day of the first month of the lunar calendar and is the first year of the year, commonly known as the "New Year's Day". Every family set off firecrackers on this day. Eat dumplings in the morning, have a family dinner at noon and have dessert at night. No bickering is allowed during the day, and no bowl or dish is allowed to be broken. If it is broken, it is necessary to say "peace from year to year" immediately so as to augur well for the coming year and the happiness of the family. Neighbors meet and exchange auspicious words. The younger generation wishes the elder a new year and the elder gives the child new year's money.(春节在农历正月初一,为一岁之首,俗称“过年”。这天家家燃放鞭炮。早上吃饺子,中午摆家宴,晚上吃甜食。一天中不许斗嘴,不得摔碎碗盘,如果摔碎要马上说“岁岁平安”,以兆来年万事如意,合家欢乐。邻人见面,互说吉利话。晚辈向长辈拜年,长辈给孩子发压岁钱。)
My Spring Festival is exciting. I visited my grandparent and I also got lucky money.In the evening,our family sat around the table to ate dumpling and talked to others.Then we sat together to watched TV.We all had a good time!(我的春节令人兴奋。我拜访了我的祖父母,我也得到了压岁钱。晚上,我们一家人围着桌子吃饺子,并和其他人聊天。然后我们坐在一起看电视。我们都玩得很开心!)
二、春节准备活动
Preparations for the Spring Festival
Paste couplet
『贴对联』
Sticking couplets is a traditional habit of the Chinese people. at the beginning of the new year, the first thing to do is to stick door gods and couplets. Every year on the 30th (or 29th) of the new year, every family takes to the streets to buy spring couplets, and those who have fun spread paper and splash ink on their own to decorate the doors inside and outside the house. When pasting couplets, stick the above sentence on the right side, because the books in the past were arranged vertically and read from the right side.(贴对联,是中国人民的传统习惯,新春伊始,第一件事便是贴门神、对联。每当大年三十日(或二十九日),家家户户都纷纷上街购买春联,有雅兴者也自己铺纸泼墨挥春,将宅子里里外外的门户装点一新。贴对联时,要把上句贴在右侧,因为过去的书是竖排的,都是从右侧读起。)
Stay up late or all night on new year's eve
『守岁』
Keeping the New Year, also known as "spending as much as possible" and "staying up for the New Year", is one of the folk activities of the Chinese people. Its origin can be traced back to the Southern and Northern Dynasties. On New Year's Eve, the family reunites, lights and candles burn all night and stay up all night to welcome the Lunar New Year. The custom of keeping the year old includes not only cherishing the lost years like water, but also sending good hopes to the coming New Year. Lighting candles or oil lamps is also a symbol of driving away all evils and epidemics.(守岁,又称为照虚耗、熬年,是中国民间的年俗活动之一,起源可追溯至南北朝。在除夕夜一家人团聚,遍燃灯烛通宵不灭,熬夜迎接农历新年的到来。 守岁的习俗,既有对如水逝去的岁月含惜别留恋之情,又有对来临的新年寄以美好希望之意;点起蜡烛或油灯,还象征着把一切邪瘟病疫赶跑驱走。)
Happy new year
『拜年』
Happy New Year is the oldest traditional custom among Chinese people. The exchange of feelings between relatives during the Spring Festival is a way for people to bid farewell to the old and welcome the new and express their best wishes to each other. What we usually know is that on the first day of the first month, parents lead their younger generation out to pay an audience with relatives, friends and elders, and wish each other a happy New Year with auspicious words. The younger generation must kowtow and salute, which is called "New Year greetings". It is a custom passed down from generation to generation by the Chinese people. It is a kind of great exchange of family affection between relatives to contact each other. The host family warmly entertained them with snacks, sweets and red envelopes.(拜年,是中国民间的最古老的传统习俗,在春节时期亲戚之间交流感情的活动,是人们辞旧迎新、相互表达美好祝愿的一种方式。我们通常知道的是正月初一家长带领小辈出门谒见亲戚、朋友、尊长,以吉祥语向对方祝颂新年,卑幼者并须叩头致礼,谓之“拜年”。它是中国人祖祖辈辈传承下来的习俗,是亲戚间联络感情,互相慰问的一种亲情大交流。主人家则以点心、糖食、红包热情款待之。)
