春节传说之一：贴春联和门神

据说贴春联的习俗，大约始于一千多年前的后蜀时期，这是有史为证的。此外根据《玉烛宝典》，《燕京岁时记》等着作记载，春联的原始形式就是人们所说的 桃符 。

在中国古代神话中，相传有一个鬼域的世界，当中有座山，山上有一棵覆盖三千里的大桃树，树梢上有一只金鸡。每当清晨金鸡长鸣的时候，夜晚出去游荡的鬼魂必赶回鬼域。鬼域的大门坐落在桃树的东北，门边站着两个神人，名叫神荼、郁垒。如果鬼魂在夜间干了伤天害理的事情，神荼、郁垒就会立即发现并将它捉住，用芒苇做的绳子把它捆起来，送去喂虎。因而天下的鬼都畏惧神荼、郁垒。于是民间就用桃木刻成他们的模样，放在自家门口，以避邪防害。后来，人们干脆在桃木板上刻上神荼、郁垒的名字，认为这样做同样可以镇邪去恶。这种桃木板后来就被叫做 桃符 。

到了宋代，人们便开始在桃木板上写对联，一则不失桃木镇邪的意义，二则表达自己美好心愿，三则装饰门户，以求美观。又在象征喜气吉祥的红纸上写对联，新春之际贴在门窗两边，用以表达人们祈求来年福运的美好心愿。

为了祈求一家的福寿康宁，一些地方的人们还保留着贴门神的习惯。据说，大门上贴上两位门神，一切妖魔鬼怪都会望而生畏。在民间，门神是正气和武力的象征，古人认为，相貌出奇的人往往具有神奇的禀性和不凡的本领。他们心地正直善良，捉鬼擒魔是他们的天性和责任，人们所仰慕的捉鬼天师钟馗，即是此种奇形怪相。所以民间的门神永远都怒目圆睁，相貌狰狞，手里拿着各种传统的武器，随时准备同敢于上门来的鬼魅战斗。由于我国民居的大门，通常都是两扇对开，所以门神总是成双成对。

唐朝以后，除了以往的神荼、郁垒二将以外，人们又把秦叔宝和尉迟恭两位唐代武将当作门神。相传，唐太宗生病，听见门外鬼魅呼号，彻夜不得安宁。于是他让这两位将军手持武器立于门旁镇守，第二天夜里就再也没有鬼魅搔扰了。其后，唐太宗让人把这两位将军的形象画下来贴在门上，这一习俗开始在民间广为流传。

[作文春节习俗

世界上有许多特色的民族节日,多的让我们都数不清,可以说每个民族都有自己特别特色的风俗习惯,其中我最熟悉的就是汉族的春节.由其它节日，进入汉族的春节。

汉族的春节是正月初一,它地前一天就是除夕,这一天大家都要吃年饭,年饭的菜起码有二十几盘,家家户户围几桌来吃.吃饭的时候,人人都说说笑笑,小孩子们围成一桌,中年人围成一桌,老年人围成一桌.大家都在谈论饭菜的美味与今年都做了些什么,这些都是中年人说的,老年人就说一些关于自己家里的事,小孩子就飞快地吃完饭说着怎样去玩,去玩什么.吃年饭是春节很热闹的一个场景。

吃完饭大家都会去超市买各种各样的东西,好像都不用钱似的,买了非常多我们平时都很想吃的食物,有糖,饼干,果冻,巧克力……等等.

最热闹的应该是晚上了,小孩子们都跑在外面空旷的地方烧爆竹,你追我赶,嘻嘻哈哈真是太开心了.而那些从外地打工或者做生意回来过年的大人们,一般都会买好几千元的烟花来放,放烟花时,孩子们都坐在成一排来看那美丽的烟花,每放完一个大家就大声地叫好.这时候,老年人一般都出来坐在树阴下看着那些快乐的孩子们,同时也就回想着自己的童年时代的艰苦,和现在的幸福生活,每个老人面上都挂满了笑容.放烟花也是春节中一个很有代表性的情景。

春节是多么热闹和开心啊!几乎每一个地方都这样过的,大家都非常开心和快乐,我是多么希望这一天能快点到来,这就是汉族春节的特色.

[关于询问中秋节习俗的英语作文

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.

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.

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

今年春节刚刚过去，过年期间我看到很多户人家的门上都贴了倒过来的“福”字，我家也不例外。这是为什么呢？我问妈妈，可妈妈也说不清楚，后来，我在书上看到，关于倒贴福字还有由来呢。

明太祖朱元璋当年用“福”字作暗记准备杀人，好心的马皇后为消除这场灾祸，令全城大小人家必须在天明之前在自家门上贴一个“福”字，于是家家门上都贴了“福”字，其中有户人家不识字，竟把“福”字贴倒了。第二天，皇帝派的人上街查看，发现家家都贴了“福”字，还有一家把“福”字贴侄了。皇帝听取了禀报大怒，立即命令御林军把那家满门抄斩。马皇后一看事情不好，忙对朱元璋说：“那家人知道您今日来访，故意把福字贴倒了，这不是“福到”的意思吗？”皇帝一听有道理，便下令放人，一场大祸终于消除了。从此，人们便将福字倒贴起来，一求吉利；二为纪念马皇后。

“福”字现在的解释是“幸福”，而在过去则指“福气”、“福运”。春节贴“福”字，寄托了人们对幸福生活的向往，对美好未来的祝愿。

Its a new year! Its a new year! All families were in a happy atmosphere of holiday. I have a good time in the Spring Festival because we are playing firecrackers together!

A black day, people pick up firecrackers, lit a piece of incense, a little, people ran down the back, over his ears, "Ping pong......"

My Spring Festival isecial. My uncle and my aunt came back from Shanghai. My family were very happy to keep the Spring Festival with them. And it was the most exciting festival of all the festivals.

On New Year’s Eve, my father and my uncle talked about their work together. My mum did some cooking with my aunt Grandparents and I watched the New Year TV programmes. At about six o’clock, we had a special family dinner. We all thought the dumplings were delicious.

On the first day of the New Year, we visited our relatives. In the afternoon, we went shopping in Jiefanf Road. My uncle bought some Jay’s CDs. He likes Jay’s music very much. There were so many people on the road. It was more alive than any other time of a year.

On the second and the third days, we spent a wonderful weekend in the country. There were much bigger trees than in the city. And the animals were more beautiful than in the city. We all enjoyed ourselves.

I had an interesting Spring Festival. How about you？

Chinese New Year starts with the new moon on the first day of the new year

and ends on the the full days later. In china,people regard Spring Festival as

the most important thing.People studied and worked throughout the year.No matter

how far and how busy, they must do their best to go back home.Thats a tradition

and now becoming a habit. During this time,transport is extremely busy.Although

the way is difficult,it cant reduce the urgent feeling of going home.I cant

describe this feeling,only the people that experienced it can

understand.Actually,on one hand,people miss their family,and they need to get

comfort in the family.On the other hand,getting together is a symbol of

blessedness and auspiciousness.People in other country dont have this

consciousness that going home is necessary.For example,American could celebrate

the Christmas in everywhere they like or with anybody.This diversity is

occasioned by different culture between two countries.

On Spring festivals eve,the whole family prepare the dinner.Of

course,dumplings is essential.In the

evening,family members always sit at the television and watch Spring

Festival Gala.At 0:00,people set off firecrackers and fireworks,at the same

time,children pay New Year,s call to old people.The old people give money to the

children as a lunar new year gift.Usually,people stay up late or all night.

On lunar New Years Day, the Chinese family eat vegetarian dumplings which

imply they will plain and neat in this year. People change their new

clothes,this stands for a new beginning.Next,people visit relatives with some

gifts.The second day is son-in-laws festival,the husband and married women

visit their side of the family.In a word,Chinese attach great importance to

Spring Festival.

盼望着，盼望着，春节终于在我们的期待中，风风火火地赶来了。说起春节，放鞭炮、挂灯笼、贴对联、团圆饭等这些习俗当然一个也不能少。

放鞭炮是人们谈起春节最先想到的习俗，每年除夕夜，我都会扒在窗台上看烟花。窗外五彩缤纷的烟花，如钢水四溅，似麦浪滚滚，时而金雨阵阵，时而银花朵朵，有的恰似鸿雁飞舞，有点宛如孔雀开屏。每当这时，我的眼睛就会应接不暇，这边的礼花还没放完，那边的冲天炮已窜出炮筒；这边的一树梨花还没喷完，那边长鞭的引线已经点燃……

春节的习俗还多着呢，看！那边门廊上红彤彤的是什么？这是春节的又一大习俗——挂灯笼。过年时家家都会挂上红灯笼，大大的福字喜庆团圆，在漆黑的夜里，增添星星般的美丽。

“千门万户曈曈日，总把新桃换旧符。”大年三十是每家每户贴对联的日子，这对联的讲究可多了，要符合字数相等，断句一致，词性相对，位置相同等要求。“风摇竹影有声话，雨打梅花无字诗”，“福如东海长流水，寿比南山不老松”，对联在平仄之间体现艺术的魅力。

源远流长的春节习俗，需要我们去传递；绚丽多彩的中华文化，需要我们去传承。

The Spring Festival， Chinese New Year，is the most important festival for all of us。 All family members get together on New YearEve to have a big meal。At the same time， everyone celebrates to each other。At about 12 oclock，some parents and children light crackers。The whole sky is lighted brightly。 We may watch the fireworks excitedly。How busy it is！

小年，即每年农历腊月23或24，它是庆祝整个春节活动的开始和伏笔，主要活动有两项：扫年和祭灶. 扫年，即扫尘，实际上就是搞家庭环境卫生。北方人以腊月23为小年，称“扫房”;南方人以腊月24为小年，称“掸尘”.这一天每家每户黎明升起，扫房擦窗，清洗衣物，刷洗锅瓢，实行彻底的卫生大扫除.据《拾遗记》记载这个习俗可以追溯到3000多年前，当时先民驱役鬼，祈福安康的宗教仪式.后“尘”与“陈”谐音，故扫尘就是一扫而光陈旧的东西，这既指庭院里的陈年老垢，也指旧岁中碰到的不快。

祭灶，即祭送灶神升天.古代，科技不发达，人们奉灶神为了控制家庭饮食的神明，认为灶神要在小年晚上向玉帝述职，玉帝对这家的赏罚全在灶神的汇报了.祭灶的祭品中最具民俗的是“糖瓜”，一说糖瓜是甜的，可使灶神在玉帝面前只说甜言蜜语;一说糖瓜是粘的，可以粘灶神的牙，使他的坏话出不了口.祭祀时，将供奉一年的灶神像揭下，焚化，算是送祭升天.至今民间仍有“糖瓜祭灶，新年来到”之说。

除夕，是指每年农历腊月的最后一天(今年公历二月六日)，它与春节(正月初一)首尾相连。“除夕”中的“除”字是“去;易;交替”的意思，除夕的意思是“旧岁至此而除，新年明晨而始”，故此期间的活动都围绕着除旧部新，禳灾祈福为中心。 除夕的主要活动有三项：吃团圆饭，祭祀，守岁。其中最有特点的还是守岁。

守岁，俗称“熬夜”，即除夕之夜，达旦不眠。传说，远古时侯有一种凶猛的怪物叫“年”，它每到腊月的最后一天夜里出来吞食人畜，危害百姓。后来，人们发现它的弱点是怕火光，怕声音，于是人们便在除夕之夜，通宵不眠，燃起火堆，焚烧青竹，使其发出爆响，年这个怪物也就不敢出来为非作歹了。从此就留下了除夕晚上熬夜和放炮的习俗。不过，守岁还有一项重要的工作：包饺子，而且还必须包素馅的饺子，这是为了希望在新的一年里“素素净净，平安顺利”。还有人在饺子里放糖，花生等物，吃到糖者意味着生活甜蜜，吃到花生者意味着长寿。

注意，守岁还有不少禁忌，如禁扫地，过小年时，平时很难触及的角落都要打扫干净，而进入除夕至大年初一早晨，即使地面再乱也不能扫，习惯上认为那样会“破财”。再如，禁用剪刀，禁说“没有了”凡此种种，都是人们盼望吉祥的心理反映。

Spring Festival couplets, originated in taofu. "Taofu", Zhou Dai hung on the door on both sides of the rectangular wood board. According to etiquette, "Han Zhi", only six inches long, three inches wide, peach wood says "Tu", "Yu Lei" two god. "On January 1, made the name Taofu, Xian wood, HYAKKI fear." So, at the age of "Qing Dynasty" Yanjing said: "the Spring Festival couplets, also namely taofu."

The five generation, in the palace, some people write the language in the Spring Festival couplets. According to the "history of the Song Dynasty, Shu family" said: after the Shu Meng Changling chapter title of peach Wood Johnson in, "with its work, pen questions cloud:" new year - Na Yuqing, Scarlett, Changchun Festival ", this is the first spring couplets in china. Until the Song Dynasty, which is still called "taofu". Wang Anshis poem had "numerous households blocks of days, the total of the new replace the old character of the sentence. The Song Dynasty, Taofu by peach wood instead of paper, called "spring stickers".

为了祈求一家的福寿康宁，一些地方的人们还保留着春节贴门神的习俗。

据说，大门上贴上两位门神，一切妖魔鬼怪都会望而生畏。在民间，门神是正气和武力的象征，古人认为，相貌出奇的人往往具有神奇的禀性和非凡的本领。他们正直善良，捉鬼擒魔是他们的天性和责任，所以民间的门神永远都怒目圆睁，相貌狰狞，手里拿着各种传统的武器，随时准备同敢于上门来的鬼魅战斗。由于我国民居的大门，通常都是两扇对开，所以门神总是成双成对的。

钟馗是民间比较流行的门神之一。传说唐明皇在夜里突发疾病，昏睡中梦见一个小鬼盗走了贵妃的香囊和自己的玉笛，并绕殿而跑。他正在气恼时，又见一个穿蓝袍戴着帽子的大鬼跑来，捉住小鬼挖出其双眼一口吞下。唐明皇问大鬼的来历，大鬼奏曰：“臣姓钟名馗，生前应武举未中，如今愿为明皇斩妖除魔。”明皇醒后，疾病痊愈，于是叫来当时最有名的画家吴道子，依照梦中所见画成钟馗捉鬼的画像：画上的钟馗着蓝衫短靴，长髯裸臂，相貌丑陋，但心灵纯正。明皇让人把钟馗的画像贴在门上，用来镇鬼。后来民间也纷纷效仿，在除夕夜把钟馗像贴在门上，用以镇鬼驱魔。

据史料记载，最初的门神是西汉时一位王爷让人绘制的一位叫成庆的勇士画像。而东汉时神话中两位受黄帝信任、对恶鬼毫不留情的两兄弟，哥哥神荼、弟弟郁垒也成为门神。

在中国古代神话中，相传有一个鬼界，那里有一棵枝繁叶茂的大桃树，树梢上有一只金鸡。每当清晨金鸡长鸣的时候，夜晚出去游荡的鬼魂必须赶回鬼界。鬼界门边站着两个神人，名叫神荼和郁垒。如果鬼魂在夜间干了伤天害理的坏事，神荼和郁垒就会立即发现并将它捉住，用芒苇做的绳子捆起来，送去喂虎。天下的鬼都畏惧神荼和郁垒。于是民间就用桃木刻成他们的模样，放在自家门口，以辟邪防害。

在秦始皇执政时，勇士荆轲冒死行刺秦王，虽然没能成功，但人们也把他看成了英雄，所以在秦之后唐之前，人们习惯在门上贴荆轲的画像。

唐朝以后，除了神荼、郁垒二将以外，人们又把秦叔宝和尉迟恭两位唐代武将当做门神。在我们都熟知的《西游记》中就有个故事与此事有关：泾河龙王为了和一个算卜先生打赌，结果少降了点儿雨，因此犯了天条，罪该问斩。玉帝命当时唐朝的贤臣魏征为监斩官。泾河龙王为求活命，向唐太宗求情，希望能躲过此劫。唐太宗答应了，到了斩龙王的那个时辰，便宣召魏征进朝与之对弈，以阻止魏征监斩。没想到魏征下着棋，不小心打了一个盹儿，魂灵就升天，将龙王给斩了。龙王责怪太宗言而无信，日夜在宫外呼号讨命。

门神太宗担惊受怕，彻夜不得安宁，就把此事告知群臣，希望大家能想出良策。

当时的大将秦叔宝(秦琼)说愿同尉迟敬德(尉迟恭)戎装立在门外守卫。太宗应允了，没想到那一夜果真安然无事。可是，太宗也不忍心让两位大将这样每夜守候。于是，就命巧手丹青，把两位大将的容貌画下来贴于门上。后来，这一习俗在民间广为流传。

民间还有贴关羽和张飞像当做门神的。

门神像左右门扇各一张，后代常把一对门神画成一文一武。门神分为三类：第一类是“大门门神”，大多贴在车门或大门上，高约四五尺，宽约二三尺;第二类是“街门门神”，多贴在小街门上，高约二尺，宽约一尺。这两种门神都是一个黑脸，一个白脸。白左黑右，白善易，黑狞恶，两个人都手执槊钺;第三类是“屋门门神”，比街门门神稍小一点儿，也是黑白二神，但有坐像的。屋门贴得最多的是“麒麟送子”像，两个傅粉涂脂梳太子冠的娃娃，各乘麒麟。这种门神最初是贴在新婚夫妇的屋门上，以取吉利。

随着门神的出现，贴春联的习俗也应运而生。春联也叫门对、春贴，是对联的一种。它的主要特点是对仗工整，简洁精巧，是我国古代文学的一种形式。贴春联的习俗大约开始于一千多年前的后蜀时期，它的原始形式就是人们所说的“桃符”。古人认为桃木可以驱鬼，是一种吉祥之物。最早民间是用桃木刻上神荼和郁垒的模样，放在自家门口，以辟邪防害。后来，为了方便，人们干脆在桃木板上刻上神荼和郁垒的名字，认为这样做同样可以镇邪去恶。这种桃木板后来就被叫做“桃符”。五代时，西蜀的宫廷里，有人在桃符上题写联语：“新年纳余庆，嘉节号长春”，这便是我国的第一副春联。到了宋代，人们开始在桃木板上写对联，这种方式既不失桃木镇邪的意义，又表达了美好的心愿，还能装饰门户。王安石的诗中就有“千门万户曈曈日，总把新桃换旧符”之句。宋代后期，桃符由桃木板改为纸张，叫“春贴纸”。人们在象征喜庆吉祥的红纸上写对联，新春之际贴在门窗两边，用以表达祈求来年福运的美好心愿。到了明代，“桃符”改称为“春联”。据说明太祖朱元璋就很重视春联，他曾下令过年时让各家各户都贴春联，并且一律在红纸上书写。www.gs5000.cn

有一次他微服出巡，经过一户人家，见门上没有贴春联，心中不悦，便去询问。一问才知这一家是阉猪的，都不识字，还没有请人代写春联。于是，朱元璋就提笔一挥，特地为这家人写了“双手劈开生死路，一刀割断是非根”的春联。这副春联，联意贴切并且幽默风趣。

对联春联的种类比较多，依照使用场所不同，可分为门心、框对、横披、春条、斗方等。“门心”贴于门板上端中心部位;“框对”贴于左右两个门框上;“横披”贴于门楣的横木上;“春条”根据不同的内容，贴于相应的地方;“斗方”也叫“门叶”，为菱形，多贴在家具、影壁上。

春联的颜色也有不同，一般人家春节都用红纸写，庙宇要贴用黄纸写的春联。如果守孝，第一年要用白纸写，第二年要用绿纸写，第三年要用黄纸写，守孝满三年后才能恢复正常，用红纸写。清朝统治者是满族人，因为满族崇尚白色，所以清代宫廷中春联用外面包蓝边里面镶红边的白纸写。

由于春联能表达人们对未来生活的美好祝愿，因此一直流传至今。

导语：春节，中国人最重要的节日。是中国最盛大、最热闹、最重要的一个古老传统节日，也是中国人所独有的节日。

一、春节的由来：

春节，是农历的岁首，春节的另一名称叫过年，是中国最盛大、最热闹、最重要的一个古老传统节日，也是中国人所独有的节日。是中华文明最集中的表现。自西汉以来，春节的习俗一直延续到今天。春节一般指除夕和正月初一。但在民间，传统意义上的春节是指从腊月初八的腊祭或腊月二十三或二十四的祭灶，一直到正月十五，其中以除夕和正月初一为高潮。如何过庆贺这个节日，在千百年的历史发展中，形成了一些较为固定的风俗习惯，有许多还相传至今。在春节这一传统节日期间，我国的汉族和大多数少数民族都有要举行各种庆祝活动，这些活动大多以祭祀神佛、祭奠祖先、除旧布新、迎禧接福、祈求丰年为主要内容。活动形式丰富多彩，带有浓郁的民族特色。2006年5月20日，“春节”民俗经国务院批准列入第一批国家级非物质文化遗产名录。

春节的来历有一种传说，中国古时候有一种叫“年”的怪兽，头长触角，凶猛异常。“年”长年深居海底，每到除夕才爬上岸，吞食牲畜伤害人命。因此，每到除夕这天，村村寨寨的人们扶老携幼逃往深山，以躲避“年”兽的伤害。有一年除夕，从村外来了个乞讨的老人。乡亲们一片匆忙恐慌景象，只有村东头一位老婆婆给了老人些食物，并劝他快上山躲避“年”兽，那老人捋髯笑道：“婆婆若让我在家呆一夜，我一定把‘年’兽撵走。”老婆婆仍然继续劝说，乞讨老人笑而不语。 半夜时分，“年”兽闯进村。它发现村里气氛与往年不同：村东头老婆婆家，门贴大红纸，屋内烛火通明。“年”兽浑身一抖，怪叫了一声。将近门口时，院内突然传来“砰砰啪啪”的炸响声，“年”浑身战栗，再不敢往前凑了。原来，“年”最怕红色、火光和炸响。这时，婆婆的家门大开，只见院内一位身披红袍的老人在哈哈大笑。“年”大惊失色，狼狈逃蹿了。第二天是正月初一，避难回来的人们见村里安然无恙十分惊奇。这时，老婆婆才恍然大悟，赶忙向乡亲们述说了乞讨老人的许诺。这件事很快在周围村里传开了，人们都知道了驱赶“年”兽的办法。(客家人的传说)从此每年除夕，家家贴红对联、燃放爆竹;户户烛火通明、守更待岁。初一一大早，还要走亲串友道喜问好。这风俗越传越广，成了中国民间最隆重的传统节日。

二、春节的习俗

1、腊月二十三 祭灶

我国春节，一般是从祭灶揭开序幕的。祭灶，是一项在我国民间影响很大、流传极广的习俗。旧时，差不多家家灶间都设有“灶王爷”神位。

2、腊月二十四 扫尘

“腊月二十四，掸尘扫房子” ，据《吕氏春秋》记载，我国在尧舜时代就有春节扫尘的风俗。按民间的说法：因“尘”与“陈”谐音，新春扫尘有“除陈布新”的涵义，其用意是要把一切穷运、晦气统统扫出门。这一习俗寄托着人们破旧立新的愿望和辞旧迎新的祈求。 每逢春节来临，家家户户都要打扫环境，清洗各种器具，拆洗被褥窗帘，洒扫六闾庭院，掸拂尘垢蛛网，疏浚明渠暗沟。到处洋溢着欢欢喜喜搞卫生、干干净净迎新春的欢乐气氛。

3、腊月二十五 接玉皇

旧俗认为灶神上天后，天帝玉皇于农历十二月二十五日亲自下界,查察人间善恶，并定来年祸福，所以家家祭之以祈福，称为“接玉皇”。这一天起居、言语都要谨慎，争取好表现，以博取玉皇欢心，降福来年。

4、腊月二十七、二十八 洗浴

传统民俗中在这两天要集中地洗澡、洗衣，除去一年的晦气，准备迎接来年的新春，京城有"二十七洗疚疾，二十八洗邋遢"的谚语。腊月二十六洗浴为“洗福禄”。

5、腊月三十除夕 贴门神、贴春联、守岁、爆竹、吃年夜饭、给压岁钱、祭祖

除夕的意思是“月穷岁尽”，人们都要除旧部新，有旧岁至此而除，来年另换新岁的意思，是农历全年最后的一个晚上。故此期间的活动都围绕着除旧部新，消灾祈福为中心。

我国各地过年都有贴门神的风俗。最初的门神是刻桃木为人形，挂在人的旁边，后来是画成门神人像张贴于门。

春联的一个源头是桃符。最初人们以桃木刻人形挂在门旁以避邪，后来画门神像于桃木上，再简化为在桃木板上题写门神名字。

贴福字、贴窗花、贴年画、贴挂千。这些都具有祈福、装点居所的民俗功能。年画是我国的一种古老的民间艺术，他反映了人民大众的风俗和信仰，寄托着人们对未来的希望。

守岁，我国民间在除夕有守岁的习惯，俗名“熬年”。守岁从吃年夜饭开始，这顿年夜饭要慢慢地吃，从掌灯时分入席，有的人家一直要吃到深夜。根据宗懔《荆楚岁时记》的记载，至少在南北朝时已有吃年夜饭的习俗。 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。

爆竹，中国民间有“开门爆竹”一说。即在新的一年到来之际，家家户户开门的第一件事就是燃放爆竹，以哔哔叭叭的爆竹声除旧迎新。爆竹是中国特产，亦称“爆仗”、“炮仗”、“鞭炮”。其起源很早，至今已有两千多年的历史。放爆竹可以创造出喜庆热闹的气氛，是节日的一种娱乐活动，可以给人们带来欢愉和吉利。王安石的《元日》诗：

爆竹声中一岁除，

春风送暖人屠苏。

千门万户瞳瞳日。

总把新桃换旧符。

描绘了我国人民欢度春节盛大的喜庆情景。

吃年夜饭，是春节家家户户最热闹愉快的时候。大年夜.丰盛的年菜摆满一桌，阖家团聚，围坐桌旁，共吃团圆饭，心头的充实感真是难以言喻。

给压岁钱，压岁钱是由长辈发给晚辈的，有的家里是吃完年夜饭后，人人坐在桌旁不许走，等大家都吃完了，由长辈发给晚辈，并勉励儿孙在在新的一年里学习长进，好好做人。

祭祖，古时这种礼俗很盛。因各地礼俗的不同，祭祖形式也各异，有的到野外瞻拜祖墓，有的到宗祠拜祖，而大多在家中将祖先牌位依次摆在正厅，陈列供品，然后祭拜者按长幼的顺序上香跪拜。

6、正月初一 拜年

春节早晨，开门大吉，先放爆竹，叫做“开门炮仗”。爆竹声后，碎红满地，灿若云锦，称为“满堂红”。这时满街瑞气，喜气洋洋。

春节里的一项重要活动，是到新朋好友家和邻那里祝贺新春，旧称拜年。新年的初一，人们都早早起来，穿上最漂亮的衣服，打扮得整整齐齐，出门去走亲访友，相互拜年，恭祝来年大吉大利。拜年的方式多种多样，有的是同族长带领若干人挨家挨户地拜年;有的是同事相邀几个人去拜年;也有大家聚在一起相互祝贺，称为“团拜”。由于登门拜年费时费力，后来一些上层人物和士大夫便使用各贴相互投贺，由此发展出来后来的“贺年片”。春节拜年时，晚辈要先给长辈拜年，祝长辈人长寿安康，长辈可将事先准备好的压岁钱分给晚辈，据说压岁钱可以压住邪祟，因为“岁”与“祟”谐音，晚辈得到压岁钱就可以平平安安度过一岁。

7、逛庙会

逛庙会是大多数中国人的春节情结，更是不可或缺的年俗。春节庙会最早是民间的宗教仪式，庙会之时，通常由僧人、道士做“法事”或“道场”以祭祀神佛，人们也要进香朝拜、许愿、还愿、求福。庙会期间，也少不了商贩叫卖、民间艺术表演。庙会上有许多历史悠久深受老百姓喜爱的传统项目，比如，舞狮、舞龙、扭秧歌、踩高跷、跑旱船等。

8、观社火

除了庙会，民间自演自娱的社火也是历史悠久的年节娱乐活动。社火源于古老的土地神与火神崇拜。社，即土地神;火，即火祖，是传说中的火神。在以农业文化著称的中国，土地是人们的立足之本，它为人类的生存发展奠定了物质基础。火，是人们熟食和取暖之源，也是人类生存发展必不可少的条件，远古人们凭着原始思维认为火也有“灵”，并视之为具有特殊含义的神物加以崇拜，于是形成了尚火观念。古老的土地与火的崇拜，产生了祭祀社与火的风俗。随着社会的发展，祭祀社火的仪式逐渐成为规模盛大，内容丰富，形式多样的民间娱乐活动。

9、舞龙

舞龙，又名「耍龙灯」、「龙灯舞」，是汉民族传统的舞蹈形式之一。每逢喜庆节日，各地都有舞龙的习俗。

舞龙起源于汉代，经历代而不衰。舞龙最初是作为祭祀祖先、祈求甘雨的一种仪式，后来逐渐成为一种文娱活动。到了唐宋时代，舞龙已是逢年过节时常见的表现形式。

关于舞龙的来历，民间有这样一个传说：一天，龙王腰痛难忍，龙宫中的所有药物都吃了，仍不见效。只好变成老头来到人间求医。大夫摸脉后甚觉奇异，问道：「你不是人吧!」龙王看瞒不过去，只好说出实情。于是大夫让他变回原形，从腰间的鳞甲中捉出一条蜈蚣。经过拨毒、敷药，龙王完全康复了。为了答谢治疗之恩，龙王向大夫说：「只要照我的样子扎龙舞耍，就能风调雨顺，五谷丰登」。这件事传出后，人们便以为龙能兴云布雨，每逢乾旱便舞龙祈雨，并有春舞青龙、夏舞赤龙、秋舞白龙、冬舞黑龙的规矩。

10、舞狮

舞狮，也叫「耍狮子」、「狮子舞」，它与舞龙一样，是我国的传统舞蹈形式，也是一种流行很广的民间体育活动。又会在春节或庆典活动舞狮。

舞狮开始于南北朝。在我国，舞狮的形式多种多样，大致可以分为北方舞狮和南方舞狮两种。北方舞狮的外形与真狮很相像，全身狮披覆盖，舞狮者(一般两人合舞一只大狮子)只露双脚，不见其人。北方舞狮有雌、雄之分，还有文狮、武狮、成狮、崽狮之分。

南方舞狮主要流行在广东。这种舞狮由一人舞狮头，一人舞狮尾。狮子的造型、式样、颜色多与北方狮不同。舞狮者穿各种灯笼裤，上穿密妞扣的唐装灯笼袖衫或背心，可见舞狮者全身。舞狮要使出浑身解

人们为什么特别喜欢在春节时舞狮呢?相传明代初年，广东佛山出现一头怪兽，每逢新旧岁之交，便出来糟踏庄稼，伤害人畜，百姓叫苦连天。后来，有人建议用狮舞来吓唬怪兽，果然奏效，那怪兽逃之夭夭。当地百姓认为狮子有驱邪镇妖之功，有吉祥之兆，所以每逢春节便敲锣打鼓，挨家挨户，舞狮拜年，以消灾除害，预报吉祥之意。

It s about one and a half month away from the Chinese New Year, It is a festival celebrated by the Chinese people at the beginning of the lunar calendar year.

As of the Chinese traditional customs, our parents and grandparents will sweep every corner of the house and clean the windows until they gleam, and washing clothes, buying foods and goods for the new year s future use and presents.

Children will be the most benefited group during this feast period.

One month before that, they are expecting the new clothes, delicious foods.

The firecrackers and the year s allowance for their increased ages.

In recent years, with the rising of the standard of life, Chinese tend to make various holiday plans to spend a different and meaningful new year.

Such as traveling abroad, or be absorbed in their hobbies, and even work.

Why today we try to spend our Chinese new year in such a different way? I think that s because this is a era of free life and personality high-ranking.

Though there are still something traditional, our young generation is attempting to make something new and suitable for ourselves.

And we would like to take something really worth to be cherished in our memorable treasures.

That s amazing and wonderful!

I ll always keep in mind that the Chinese new year is a great feast inherited from our ancestors, but if necessary, I would like to enjoy it by some ways personal.
