小年寓意

现在却少有人会做汤圆，一般是到超市买汤 圆。传统元宵所承载的

节俗功能已被日常生活消解，人们逐渐失去了共同的精神兴趣，< /p>

【篇二：春节有讲究】

春节有讲究

spring festival, which falls on the 1st day of the 1st lunar

month is the most important festival in china and a time for

family reunion, like christmas in the west.

农历正月初一开始，就到了中国最重要的节日

——

春节。人们阖家

团圆，就如同西方的圣诞节一样。

traditionally, spring festival starts in the early days of the 12th

month of the lunar calendar and lasts until the middle of the

1st lunar month of the following year. with the modernization

of china, some traditional customs are still followed today, but

others have fallen by the wayside.

传统意义上的春节始于农历腊

月（即十二月）初，一直持续到来年的正月（即一月）中旬。随着

中国 的现代化，一些传统习俗被保留了下来，而另一些却逐渐消失

在我们的视野中。

as we are preparing for the most important festival, lets have a

review of the traditional customs that celebrate the spring

festival.

在我们忙着准备这个重大节日的同时，不妨来回顾一下春节有哪些

传统习俗吧 。

little new year, which falls the 23rd day of the 12th month in

the lunar calendar, is also known as the festival of the kitchen

god, the deity who oversees the moral character of each

household.

农历腊月二十三日是小年，也是祭灶节。灶神在中国神

话传说中监管一家善恶。

people make sacrifices to the kitchen gold on this day. a paper

image is burnt dispatching the gods spirit to heaven to report

on the familys conduct over the past year. the kitchen god is

then welcomed back by pasting a new paper image of him

beside the stove.

人们在小年这一天祭拜灶神，焚烧灶神的画像，意味着送灶神 上天，

禀报这家人在过去一年的德行。接着人们会在灶旁贴上新的画像，

意味着再把灶神接回来。

迎新。

according to tradition, ghosts and deities must choose either

to return to heaven or to stay on earth during the last month of

the year. it is believed that to ensure the ghosts and deities

timely departure, people must thoroughly clean both their

bodies and their dwellings, down to every last drawer and

cupboard.

根据传统，各路鬼神在农历腊月必须决定自己是返回天庭还是继续

留在人间。 据说为了确保鬼神及时启程离开，人们必须彻底地沐浴

干净、清理住处，哪怕是抽屉柜子 也不能疏忽。

腊月二十五：推磨做豆腐

people turn the mill and make tofu on the 25th day of the 12th

month in the lunar calendar, as legend says the jade emperor

will descend and taste the soybean curd residue to experience

an austere life.

农历腊月二十五日，人 们推磨做豆腐，因为传说玉帝会在这一日降

临人间，品尝豆腐渣，体味人间疾苦。

ruler of heaven and all realms of existence below, including

that of man and hell. he is one of the most important gods of

the chinese traditional religious pantheon.

腊月二十六：杀猪割年肉

the folk saying goes: butcher a pig and get some meat to

prepare for the new year feast on the 26th day of the 12th

month in the lunar calendar.

中国有一句俗语：

“

杀猪割年肉。

”< /p>

农历腊月二十六正是杀猪割年肉

的日子。

in the old days, many people could not afford meat and they

saved the best for the new year feast. peoples livelihoods have

improved greatly and meat is now a very common dish in daily

diet, but the chinese still prefer having meat during festival

season.

< br>旧时许多人买不起肉，所以就把一年中最好的东西留到新年团圆饭

吃。如今人们的 生活质量得到了极大的改善，一日三餐里肉食已经

再常见不过，但春节期间人们仍然钟爱 肉食。
