篇2:元宵节的来历

元宵节是中国的传统节日之一,早在2000多年前在西汉就存在了,元宵赏灯始于东汉明帝时期,明帝提倡佛教,听说佛教有正月十五日僧人观佛舍利,点灯敬佛的做法,就命令这一天夜晚在皇宫和寺庙里点灯敬佛,令士族庶民都挂灯。以后这种佛教礼仪节日逐渐形成民间盛大的节日。该节日经历了由宫廷到民间、由中原地区到全国各地的发展过程。在汉文帝时,已下令将正月十五命名为元宵节。汉武帝时,“太一神”的祭祀活动定在正月十五。(太一:主宰宇宙一切之神)。司马迁创建“太初历”时,就已将元宵节确定为重元宵节美食——元宵

大节日。另有一说是元宵燃灯的习俗起源于道教的“三元说”;正月十五日为上元节,七月十五日为中元节,十月十五日为下元节。主管上、中、下三元的分别为天、地、人三官,天官喜乐,故上元节要燃灯。元宵节的节期与节俗活动,是随历史的发展而延长、扩展的。就节期长短而言,汉代才一天,到唐代已为三天,宋代则长达五天,明代更是自初八点灯,一直到正月十七的夜里才落灯,整整十天。与春节相接,白昼为市,热闹非凡,夜间燃灯,蔚为壮观。特别是那精巧、多彩的灯火,更使其成为春节期间娱乐活动的高潮。至清代,又增加了舞龙、舞狮、跑旱船、踩高跷、扭秧歌等“百戏”内容,只是节期缩短为四到五天。上元,含有新的一年第一次月圆之夜的意思。上元节的由来,《岁时杂记》记载说,这是因循道教的陈规。道教曾把一年中的正月十五称为上元节,七月十五为中元节,十月十五为下元节,合称“三元”。汉末道教的重要派别五斗米道崇奉的神为天官、地官、水官,说天官赐福,地官赦罪,水官解厄,并以三元配三官,说上元天官正月十五日生,中元地官七月十五日生,下元水官十月十五日生。这样,正月十五日就被称为上元节。南宋吴自牧在《梦粱录》中说:“正月十五日元夕节,乃上元天官赐福之辰。”说天官赐福,地官赦罪,而元宵节俗真正的动力是因为它处在新的时间点上,人们充分利用这一特殊的时间阶段来表达自己的生活愿望。

导语:正月十五闹元宵,是我国一个传统节日,元宵节的那天,来自祖国的大江南北,不同地区的人都会齐欢乐,庆元宵。那么这天是怎么来的呢?下面是小编整理的正月十五闹元宵的习俗,欢迎大家阅读!

什么是元宵节?

农历正月十五是元宵节,是中国的传统节日元宵节。又称上元节、元夜、灯节。

农历正月十五元宵节,是我国一个重要的传统节日。这一天古代称为“上元”,其夜则称“元夜”、“元夕”或“元宵”。我国古代的历法和月相有密切的关系,每月十五日必逢满月,叫做“望”。满月象征着团圆美满,在正月十五人们迎来了一年之中第一个月满之夜,这一天理所当然地被看作是吉日。据《史记•乐书》记载,早在西汉初期,宫廷中就有了正月十五祭祀太乙神(天帝),祈求福佑的礼仪活动。按中国民间的传统,在这天上皓月高悬的夜晚,人们要点起彩灯万盏,以示庆贺。

元宵节花灯,出门赏月、燃灯放焰、喜猜灯谜、共吃元宵,合家团聚、同庆佳节,其乐融融。

元宵节是农历新年的第一个月圆之夜,象征着春天的到来,人们吃元宵、赏花灯、猜灯谜,以示祝贺。

元宵节的起源和来历

元宵节俗的形成有一个较长的过程,根据史料与民俗传说,正月十五在西汉已经受到重视,汉武帝正月上辛夜在甘泉宫祭祀“太一”的活动(太一:主宰世界一切的神),被后人视作正月十五祭祀天神的先声。

正月十五真正作为民俗节日是在汉魏之后。东汉佛教文化的传入,对于形成过元宵节的风俗有着重要的推动意义。

汉明帝永平年间(公元58—175年),因明帝提倡佛法,适逢蔡愔从印度求得佛法归来,称印度摩喝陀国每逢正月十五,僧众云集瞻仰佛舍利,是参佛的吉日良辰。汉明帝为了弘扬佛法,下令正月十五夜在宫中和寺院“燃灯表佛”。因此正月十五夜燃灯的习俗随着佛教文化影响的扩大及道教文化的加入逐渐在中国扩展开来。

又有一说元宵节起源于“火把节”,汉代民众在乡间田野持火把驱赶虫兽,希望减轻虫害,祈祷获得好收成。隋、唐、宋以来,更是盛极一时。 直到今天,中国西南一些地区的人们还在正月十五用芦柴或树枝做成火把,成群结队高举火把在田头或晒谷场跳舞。

另有一说是元宵燃灯的习俗起源于道教的“三元说”:正月十五日为上元节,七月十五日为中元节,十月十五日为下元节。主管上、中、下三元的分别为天、地、人三官,天官喜乐,故上元节要燃灯。

就节期长短而言,汉代是一天,到唐代已为三天,宋代则长达五天,明代更是自初八点灯,一直到正月十七的夜里才落灯,整整十天。与春节相接,白昼为市,热闹非凡,夜间燃灯,蔚为壮观。至清代,又增加了舞龙、舞狮、跑旱船、踩高跷、扭秧歌等“百戏”内容,只是节期缩短为四到五天。

元宵节的习俗

在民间过元宵的习俗有很多种,不同的民族过元宵的方式也会有所不一,以下是不同民族人们过元宵节的方式。

1、吃元宵

正月十五吃元宵,“元宵”作为食品,在中国也由来已久。宋代,民间即流行一种元宵节吃的新奇食品。这种食品,最早叫“ 浮元子”后称“元宵” ,生意人还美其名曰“元宝” 。元宵以白糖、玫瑰、芝麻、豆沙、黄桂、核桃仁、果仁、枣泥等为馅,用糯米粉包成圆形,可荤可素,风味各异。可汤煮、油炸、蒸食,有团圆美满之意。 北方叫元宵,南方称汤圆。

2、观灯

汉明帝永平年间(公元58——75),汉明帝为了弘扬佛法,下令正月十五夜在宫中和寺院“燃灯表佛”。因此正月十五夜燃灯的习俗随着佛教文化影响的扩大及道教文化的加入逐渐在中国扩展开来。

元宵放灯的习俗,在唐代发展成为盛况空前的灯市,中唐以后,已发展成为全民性的狂欢节。唐玄宗(公元685——762)时的开元盛世,长安的灯市规模很大,燃灯五万盏,花灯花样繁多,皇帝命人做巨型的灯楼,广达20间,高150尺,金光璀璨,极为壮观。

以后历代的元宵灯会不断发展,灯节的时间也越来越长。唐代的灯会是“上元前后各一日”,宋代又在十六之后加了两日,明代则延长到由初八到十八整整十天。

到了清代,满族入主中原,宫廷不再办灯会,民间的灯会却仍然壮观,日期缩短为五天。

“猜灯谜”又叫“打灯谜”是元宵节后增的一项活动,出现在宋朝。南宋时,首都临安每逢元宵节时制迷,猜谜的人众多。开始时是好事者把谜语写在纸条上,贴在五光十色的彩灯上供人猜。因为谜语能启迪智慧又饶有兴趣,所以流传过程中深受社会各阶层的欢迎。

3、中国情人节

元宵节也是一个浪漫的节日,元宵灯会在封建的传统社会中,也给未婚男女相识提供了一个机会,传统社会的年轻女孩不允许出外自由活动,但是过节却可以结伴出来游玩,元宵节赏花灯正好是一个交谊的机会,未婚男女借着赏花灯也顺便可以为自己物色对象。元宵灯节期间,又是男女青年与情人相会的时机。

4、走百病

元宵节除了庆祝活动外,还有信仰性的活动。那就是“走百病”又称“烤百病”“散百病”参与者多为妇女,他们结伴而行或走墙边,或过桥过走郊外,目的是驱病除灾。

5、放焰火

元宵节最为喜人的活动。元宵节夜在广场都要进行放烟火活动,到时全家都走到大街上,去看那美丽的烟火,烟火越来变得越美,越来越大,科技含量越来越高,颜色越来越美越来越艳丽。

6、猜灯谜

“猜灯谜”又叫“打灯谜",是元宵节后增的一项活动,灯谜最早是由谜语发展而来的,各个地方都打出灯谜,希望今年能喜气洋洋的,平平安安的。因为谜语能启迪智慧又饶有兴趣,所以流传过程中深受社会各阶层的欢迎。

7、耍龙灯

耍龙灯,也称舞龙灯或龙舞。它的起源可以追溯上古时代。传说,早在黄帝时期,在一种《清角》的大型歌舞中,就出现过由人扮演的龙头鸟身的形象,其后又编排了六条蛟龙互相穿插的舞蹈场面。见于文字记载的龙舞,是汉代张衡的《西京赋》,作者在百戏的铺叙中对龙舞作了生动的描绘。而据《隋书·音乐志》记载,隋炀帝时类似百戏中龙舞表演的《黄龙变》也非常精彩,龙舞流行于中国很多地方。中华民族崇尚龙,把龙作为吉祥的象征。

8、踩高跷

踩高跷,是民间盛行的一种群众性技艺表演。高跷本属中国古代百戏之一种,早在春秋时已经出现。中国最早介绍高跷的是《列子·说符》篇:“宋有兰子者,以技干宋元。宋元召而使见其技。

9、舞狮子

舞狮子是中国优秀的民间艺术,每逢元宵佳节或集会庆典,民间都以狮舞前来助兴。这一习俗起源于三国时期,南北朝时开始流行,至今已有一千多年的历史。

“舞狮子”始于魏晋,盛于唐,又称“狮子舞”、“太平乐”,一般由三人完成,二人装扮成狮子,一人充当狮头,一人充当狮身和后脚,另一人当引狮人,舞法上又有文武之分,文舞表现狮子的温驯,有抖毛、打滚等动作,武狮表现狮子的凶猛,有腾跃、蹬高、滚彩球等动作。

少数民族地区农历正月十五日的习俗

偷菜节

流行于贵州省黄平一带苗族的偷菜节也是在每年农历正月十五日举行。节日这天,姑娘们便成群结队去偷别人家的菜,严禁偷本家族的,也不能偷同性朋友家的,因为偷菜与她们的婚姻大事有关。所偷的菜仅限白菜,数量够大家吃一顿即可。偷菜不怕被发现,被偷的人家并不责怪。大家把偷来的菜集中在一起,做白菜宴。据说谁吃得最多,谁能早得意中人,同时所养的蚕最壮,吐出的丝也最好最多。

巴乌节

彝族的传统节日巴乌节在农历正月十五。“巴乌”意为“打猎归来”。见于云南鹤庆彝族支系黑活人居住区。时此节原本是欢庆狩猎归来的习俗活动,无固定节日。

篇7:中国元宵节的来历及习俗

农历正月十五是元宵节。又称上元节、元夜、灯节。相传,汉文帝(前179—前157年)为庆祝周勃于正月十五勘平诸吕之乱,每逢此夜,必出宫游玩,与民同乐,在古代,夜同宵,正月又称元月,汉文帝就将正月十五定为元宵节,这一夜就叫元宵。司马迁创建《太初历》,将元宵节列为重大节日。隋、唐、宋以来,更是盛极一时。《隋书·音乐志》日:“每当正月,万国来朝,留至十五日于端门外建国门内,绵亘八里,列戏为戏场”,参加歌舞者足达数万,从昏达旦,至晦而罢。当随着社会和时代的变迁,元宵节的风俗习惯早已有了较大的变化,但至今仍是中国民间传统节日。

吃汤圆

吃“汤圆”是元宵节的一项重要习俗。汤圆,又名“汤团”、“元宵”。吃汤圆的风俗始于宋代,当时的汤圆称“浮圆子”,亦称“汤圆子”、“ 乳糖圆子”、“汤丸”、“汤团”,生意人则美其名日:“元宝”。宋元元初时,汤圆已成为元宵节的应节食品,所以人们又称它为“元宵”。

如今,北方叫元宵,南方称汤圆。元宵依馅论,分有馅和无馅两种,有馅元宵又有咸、甜、荤、素之分;按制作方法分,有手中搓制、元宵机制和竹匾水滚等诸种;按粉制区别,则有糯米面、高梁米面等。

猜灯谜

玩灯是元宵节的一个重要项目。灯谜是元宵灯节派生出来的一种文字游戏,也叫灯虎。将谜面贴在花灯上供人猜射,谜底多着眼于文字意义,并有谜格24种,常用的有卷帘、秋千、求凤等格,已形成了一种独特的民俗文化。中国最大的一次灯谜盛会是1979年在南京举行的“九城市灯谜会猜”,设有灯谜上万条,3天里参加的人次达两万多人。

赏花灯

汉明帝永平年间(公元58--75),因明帝提倡佛法,适逢蔡愔从印度求得佛法归来,称印度摩喝陀国每逢正月十五,僧众云集瞻仰佛舍利,是参佛的吉日良辰。汉明帝为了弘扬佛法,下令正月十五夜在宫中和寺院"燃灯表佛"。此后,元宵放灯的习俗就由原来只在宫廷中举行而流传到民间。即每到正月十五,无论士族还是庶民都要挂灯,城乡通宵灯火辉煌。

元宵放灯的习俗,在唐代发展成为盛况空前的灯市,当时的京城长安已是拥有百万人口的世界最大都市,社会富庶。在皇帝的亲自倡导下,元宵灯节办得越来越豪华。中唐以后,已发展成为全民性的狂欢节。唐玄宗(公元685--762)时的开元盛世,长安的灯市规模很大,燃灯五万盏,花灯花样繁多,皇帝命人做巨型的灯楼,广达20间,高150尺,金光璀璨,极为壮观。

宋代,元宵灯会无论在规模和灯饰的奇幻精美都胜过唐代,而且活动更为民间化,民族特色更强。以后历代的元宵灯会不断发展,灯节的时间也越来越长。唐代的灯会是"上元前后各一日",宋代又在十六之后加了两日,明代则延长到由初八到十八整整十天。

到了清代,满族入主中原,宫廷不再办灯会,民间的灯会却仍然壮观。日期缩短为五天,一直延续到今天。

灯在台湾民间具有光明与添丁的涵义,点燃灯火有照亮前程之意,且台语灯与丁谐音代表生男孩,因此往昔元宵节妇女都会刻意在灯下游走,希望“钻灯脚生卵葩”(就是钻到灯下游走,好生男孩)。

踩高跷

踩高跷是民间盛行的一种群众性技艺表演。高跷本属我国古代百戏之一种,早在春秋时已经出现。我国最早介绍高跷的是《列子·说符》篇:“宋有兰子者,以技干宋元。宋元召而使见其技。以双枝长倍其身,属其胫,并趋并驰,弄七剑迭而跃之,五剑常在空中,元君大惊,立赐金帛。”从文中可知,早在公元前五百多年,高跷就已流行。

表演者不但以长木缚于足行走,还能跳跃和舞剑,高跷分高跷、中跷和跑跷三种,最高者一丈多。据古籍中记载,古代的高跷皆属木制,在刨好的木棒中部做一支撑点,以便放脚,然后再用绳索缚于腿部。

表演者脚踩高跷,可以作舞剑、劈叉、跳凳、过桌子、扭秧歌等动作。北方的高跷秧歌中,扮演的人物有渔翁、媒婆、傻公子、小二哥、道姑、和尚等。

表演者扮相滑稽,能唤起观众的极大兴趣。南方的高跷,扮演的多是戏曲中的角色,关公、张飞、吕洞宾、何仙姑、张生、红娘、济公、神仙、小丑皆有。他们边演边唱,生动活泼,逗笑取乐,如履平地。

据说踩高跷这种形式,原来是古代人为了采集树上的野果为食,给自己的腿上绑两根长棍而发展起来的一种跷技活动。

舞狮子

舞狮子是我国优秀的民间艺术,每逢元宵佳节或集会庆典,民间都以狮舞前来助兴。这一习俗起源于三国时期,南北朝时开始流行,至今已有一千多年的历史。据传说,它最早是从西域传入的,狮子是文殊菩萨的坐骑,随着佛教传入中国,舞狮子的活动也输入中国。狮子是汉武帝派张骞出使西域后,和孔雀等一同带回的贡品。而狮舞的技艺却是引自西凉的“假面戏”,也有人认为狮舞是五世纪时产生于军队,后来传入民间的。两种说法都各有依据,今天已很难判断其是非。

不过,唐代时狮舞已成为盛行于宫廷、军旅、民间的一项活动。唐段安节《乐府杂寻》中说:“戏有五方狮子,高丈余,各衣五色,每一狮子,有十二人,戴红抹额,衣画衣,执红拂子,谓之狮子郎,舞太平乐曲。”诗人白居易《西凉伎》诗中对此有生动的描绘:“西凉伎,西凉伎,假面胡人假狮子。刻木为头丝作尾,金镀眼睛银帖齿。奋迅毛衣摆双耳,如从流沙来万里。”诗中描述的是当时舞狮的情景。

在一千多年的发展过程中,狮舞形成了南北两种表演风格。北派狮舞以表演“武狮”为主,即魏武帝钦定的北魏“瑞狮”。小狮一人舞,大狮由双人舞,一人站立舞狮头,一人弯腰舞狮身和狮尾。

舞狮人全身披包狮被,下穿和狮身相同毛色的绿狮裤和金爪蹄靴,人们无法辨认舞狮人的形体,它的外形和真狮极为相似。

引狮人以古代武士装扮,手握旋转绣球,配以京锣、鼓钹、逗引瑞狮。狮子在“狮子郎”的引导下,表演腾翻、扑跌、跳跃、登高、朝拜等技巧,并有走梅花桩、窜桌子、踩滚球等高难度动作。

南派狮舞以表演“文狮”为主,表演时讲究表情,有搔痒、抖毛、舔毛等动作,惟妙惟肖,逗人喜爱,也有难度较大的吐球等技巧。南狮以广东为中心,并风行于港澳,东南亚侨乡。南狮虽也是双人舞,但舞狮人下穿灯笼裤,上面仅仅披着一块彩色的狮被而舞。和北狮不同的是“狮子郎”头戴大头佛面具,身穿长袍,腰束彩带,手握葵扇而逗引狮子,以此舞出各种优美的招式,动作滑稽风趣。南狮流派众多,有清远、英德的“鸡公狮”,广州、佛山的“大头狮”,高鹤、中山的“鸭嘴狮”,东莞的“麒麟狮”等。

南狮除外形不同外,尚有性格不同。白须狮舞法幅度不宽、花色品种不多,但沉着刚健,威严有力,民间称为“刘备狮”。黑须红面狮,人称“关公狮”,舞姿勇猛而雄伟,气概非凡。灰白胡须狮,动作粗犷好战,俗称“张飞狮”。狮子为百兽之尊,形象雄伟俊武,给人以威严、勇猛之感。

古人将它当作勇敢和力量的象征,认为它能驱邪镇妖、保佑人畜平安。所以人们逐渐形成了在元宵节时及其他重大活动里舞狮子的习俗,以祈望生活吉祥如意,事事平安。

The Ghost Festival, also known as the Hungry Ghost Festival, is a traditional Chinese festival and holiday celebrated by Chinese in many countries. In the Chinese calendar (a lunisolar calendar), the Ghost Festival is on the 15th night of the seventh lunar month (14th in southern China).

In Chinese tradition, the fifteenth day of the seventh month in the lunar calendar is called Ghost Day and the seventh month in general is regarded as the Ghost Month (鬼月), in which ghosts and spirits, including those of the deceased ancestors, come out from the lower realm. Distinct from both the Qingming Festival (in Spring) and Chung Yeung Festival (in Autumn) in which living descendants pay homage to their deceased ancestors, on Ghost Day, the deceased are believed to visit the living.

On the fifteenth day the realms of Heaven and Hell and the realm of the living are open and both Taoists and Buddhists would perform rituals to transmute and absolve the sufferings of the deceased. Intrinsic to the Ghost Month is ancestor worship, where traditionally the filial piety of descendants extends to their ancestors even after their deaths. Activities during the month would include preparing ritualistic food offerings, burning incense, and burning joss paper, a papier-mâché form of material items such as clothes, gold and other fine goods for the visiting spirits of the ancestors. Elaborate meals (often vegetarian meals) would be served with empty seats for each of the deceased in the family treating the deceased as if they are still living. Ancestor worship is what distinguishes Qingming Festival from Ghost Festival because the latter includes paying respects to all deceased, including the same and younger generations, while the former only includes older generations. Other festivities may include, buying and releasing miniature paper boats and lanterns on water, which signifies giving directions to the lost ghosts and spirits of the ancestors and other deities.

The Ghost Festival is celebrated during the seventh month of the Chinese calendar. It also falls at the same time as a full moon, the new season, the fall harvest, the peak of Buddhist monastic asceticism, the rebirth of ancestors, and the assembly of the local community. During this month, the gates of hell are opened up and ghosts are free to roam the earth where they seek food and entertainment. These ghosts are believed to be ancestors of those who forgot to pay tribute to them after they died, or those who were never given a proper ritual send-off. They have long needle-thin necks because they have not been fed by their family, or as a punishment so that they are unable to swallow. Family members offer prayers to their deceased relatives, offer food and drink and burn hell bank notes and other forms of joss paper. Joss paper items are believed to have value in the afterlife,considered to be very similar in some aspects to the material world, People burn paper houses, cars, servants and televisions to please the ghosts. Families also pay tribute to other unknown wandering ghosts so that these homeless souls do not intrude on their lives and bring misfortune. A large feast is held for the ghosts on the fourteenth day of the seventh month, when people brings samples of food and places them on an offering table to please the ghosts and ward off bad luck.

In some East Asian countries today, live performances are held and everyone is invited to attend. The first row of seats are always empty as this is where the ghosts sit. The shows are always put on at night and at high volumes as the sound is believed to attract and please the ghosts. Some shows include Chinese opera, dramas, and in some areas, even burlesque shows. These acts are better known as "Merry-making".

For rituals, Buddhists and Taoists hold ceremonies to relieve ghosts from suffering, many of them holding ceremonies in the afternoon or at night (as it is believed that the ghosts are released from hell when the sun sets). Altars are built for the deceased and priests and monks alike perform rituals for the benefit of ghosts. Monks and priests often throw rice or other small foods into the air in all directions to distribute them to the ghosts.

During the evening, incense is burnt in front of the doors households. Incense stands for prosperity in Chinese culture, so families believe that there is more prosperity in burning more incense.[4]During the festival, some shops are closed as they want to leave the streets open for the ghosts. In the middle of each street stands an altar of incense with fresh fruit and sacrifices displayed on it.

Fourteen days after the festival, to make sure all the hungry ghosts find their way back to hell, people flow water lanterns and set them outside their houses (a practice that can be found amongst the Japanese during Obon). These lanterns are made by setting a lotus flower-shaped lantern on a paper boat. The lanterns are used to direct the ghosts back to the underworld, and when they go out, it symbolizes that they have found their way back.

关键词:手抄报元宵节手抄报 手抄报图片 手抄报版面设计图 元宵节手抄报内容传说在很久很久以前,凶禽猛兽很多,四处伤害人和牲畜,人们就组织起来打它们,有一只神鸟因为迷路而降落人间,却意外的被不知情的猎人给射死了。

天帝知道后十分震怒,立即传旨,下令让天兵于正月十五日到人间放火,把人间的人畜财产通通烧死。天帝的女儿心地善良,不忍心看百姓无辜受难,就冒着生命的危险,偷偷驾着祥云来到人间,把这个消息告诉了人们。众人听说了这个消息,就如头上响了一个焦雷,吓得不知如何是好。

过了好久,才有个老人家想出个法子,他说:“在正月十四、十五、十六日这三天,每户人家都在家里张灯结彩、点响爆竹、燃放烟火。这样一来,天帝就会以为人们都被烧死了。”

大家听了都点头称是,便分头准备去了。到了正月十五这天晚上,天帝往下一看,发觉人间一片红光,响声震天,连续三个夜晚都是如此,以为是大火燃烧的火焰,心中大快。人们就这样保住了自己的生命及财产。为了纪念这次成功,从此每到正月十五,家家户户都悬挂灯笼,放烟火来纪念这个日子。
