About Chinese New Year 關(guān)于中國(guó)新年

Chinese New Year Greetings
恭喜發(fā)財(cái)
  

  The Chinese like to greet each other "gong xi fa cai" ("Happy and Prosperous New Year") during the New Year. Click here to hear the greeting.

Chinese New Year Colors
中國(guó)吉祥色——紅

  You probably have guessed correctly by now : the favorite colors during Chinese New Year are RED and GOLD. Red symbolizes happiness while Gold symbolizes wealth. As such, these two colors are predominant in most Chinese New Year decorations and greeting cards.
  Tips : Black and white, on the other hand, are the "unlucky" colors avoided by most Chinese during the New Year.

Hongbao
紅包

  One thing that makes Chinese children to look forward to the arrival of Chinese New Year is Hongbao or Laisi (in Hong Kong). It's a red little envelope which contains cash gifts (in even denominations like $8 or $12 for luck). All unmarried children are eligible to receive Hongbao, but do make sure that you first greet your elders or married friends :

Fire Crackers and Lion Dance
煙花 舞獅

  Fire crackers and lion dance are almost synonymous with Chinese New Year. Fire crackers were used to chase away the mythical monster, Nian, which once terrorized the people. But over time, their loud noises have been used to create the jovial, holiday mood. If you hear this, you'll know that Chinese New Year is just around the corner.
  Lion dance is a remarkable piece of performance art and sports. Normally performed by 2 people, it takes years of training and practice before one can be good enough to give a public performance. It's no surprise that many lion dancers are also practitioners of Chinese martial arts, or Kung Fu.Today, fire crackers and lion dance can also be found during auspicious events such as grand opening day of a new business.

Chinese Rice Cake
年糕

  Most Chinese New Year dishes have names that sound like good or fortunate things, e.g. fish (Yu) for abundance and New Year rice cake (Nian Gao) for advancement.
  The rising effect of the cake during baking symbolizes advancement (Gao Sheng) so it is no surprise that parents will urge their children to have Nian Gao during the Chinese New Year. Below is the recipe for the Chinese Rice Cake or Nian Gao. Try it and may you have advancement year after year (Nian Nian Gao Sheng)!

 

【異域傳真】

慶祝圣誕節(jié)

  I am pleased to talk with you about some of our Christmas traditions in the United States.
  Of course, everyone has to have a Christmas tree. We can buy one or go out to a farm in the country to chop one down. We bring it home and set it up in the corner of our living room, where my family help decorate it. We put a Christmas clothe at the bottom of the Christmas tree. Then we take out all the ornaments like bows and plenty of lights of all shapes and colors to decorate it. Since our Christmas tree is green we buy fake snow and spray it all over the tree. After that, we go toy and clothing shopping for presents and put all the presents under the tree.
  On Christmas Eve we always go to church to sing Christmas carols like "Silent Night" and "These Three Kings". But some families have parties, have a big dinner and wait till midnight for our gift-giver , Santa Claus.
  Our Santa Claus is supposed to be wearing a red suit . He travels from his home at the North Pole in a flying sleigh with eight reindeer by himself. At midnight, he lands on the roof and comes down the chimney. He leaves the gifts under our trees and puts some toys or candy in our stockings. We all leave him a plate of cookies, something to drink and a carrot for the reindeer. We think that is why he is so chubby.
  On Christmas morning, we hurry to the living room to open our stockings. There are brightly wrapped packages piled under our tree, and even some nestled among the Christmas tree branches. They are all for us.
  After we finish opening the gifts, we go to visit our relatives and friends. We exchange greetings and gifts. At the end of the day, we sit down to a celebration dinner of turkey or ham to talk about the wonderful day we had.

  很高興和你們談?wù)動(dòng)嘘P(guān)美國(guó)的一些圣誕習(xí)俗。
  當(dāng)然,我們必須要有一棵圣誕樹。我們可以去買或者去鄉(xiāng)下農(nóng)場(chǎng)砍一棵。我們把它拿回家放在起居室的角落里。我們一家人一起來裝飾它。我們?cè)跇涞牡撞糠乓粔K圣誕布,拿出所有的裝飾品,像蝴蝶結(jié)和許多各種形狀各種顏色的燈來裝飾圣誕樹。因?yàn)闃涫蔷G的,所以我們買了假的雪噴在樹上。然后我們?nèi)ネ婢吆头b店買禮物并把禮物放在樹下。
  在圣誕前夜,我們經(jīng)常去教堂唱圣誕頌歌,像《平安夜》和《三個(gè)國(guó)王》。但有的家庭在家里舉辦聚會(huì),美餐一頓,等候午夜的到來,等待圣誕老人的禮物。
  我們假想圣誕老人穿一身紅衣服,他獨(dú)自一人從他北極的家出發(fā),乘一輛八匹馴鹿拉的雪橇飛來,在午夜降落在房頂上,從煙囪下來。他把禮物放在我們的樹下,并放一些玩具和糖果在我們的長(zhǎng)統(tǒng)襪里。我們都會(huì)留給他一盤甜餅,一些喝的,并給馴鹿一個(gè)胡蘿卜。我們認(rèn)為那就是為什么圣誕老人這么胖的原因。
  在圣誕節(jié)早晨,我們匆忙去起居室,打開我們的長(zhǎng)統(tǒng)襪。有許多包裝精致的包裹堆在樹下,有的躺在樹枝中。那些都是給我們的禮物。
  在我們看完禮物之后,我們?nèi)グ菰L我們的親朋好友。我們相互問候并交換禮物。到了晚上,我們坐下來吃慶祝晚餐,通常是火雞或漢堡包,我們談?wù)撐覀兌冗^的快樂的這一天。

【年在他鄉(xiāng)】

各國(guó)新年習(xí)俗

泰國(guó)

  泰國(guó)傳統(tǒng)的新年,即“宋干節(jié)”(“宋干”是梵語(yǔ)的譯音),也叫“潑水節(jié)”,是公歷的每年4月13日到16日。節(jié)日里,人們抬著或用車載著巨大的佛像出游,佛像后面跟著一輛輛花車,車上站著化了妝的“宋干女神”,成群結(jié)隊(duì)的男女青年,身著色彩鮮艷的民族服裝,敲著長(zhǎng)鼓,載歌載舞。在游行隊(duì)伍經(jīng)過的道路兩旁,善男信女夾道而行,用銀缽里盛著用貝葉浸泡過的,滲有香料的水,潑灑到佛像和“宋干女神”身上,祈求新年如意,風(fēng)調(diào)雨順,然后人們相互灑水,喜笑顏開的祝長(zhǎng)輩健康長(zhǎng)壽,祝親朋新年幸運(yùn)、未婚的青年男女,則用潑水來表示彼此之間的愛慕之情。泰國(guó)人在新年第一天都在窗臺(tái)、門口端放一盆清水,家家戶戶都要到郊外江河中去進(jìn)行新年沐浴。為慶賀新年,泰國(guó)人舉行在規(guī)模的“賽象大會(huì)”,內(nèi)容有:人象拔河、跳象拾物、象跨人身、大象足球賽、古代象陣表演等。很是精彩動(dòng)人。

日本

  每年的12月29日-1月3日為全國(guó)休假日。日本人把12月31日稱之為“大晦日”,也就是除夕日。除夕晚上,日本人稱之為“除夜”,除夜時(shí)他們祈求神靈托福,送舊迎新,稱之為“初詣”。除夕午夜,各處城鄉(xiāng)廟宇分別敲鐘108下,以此驅(qū)除邪惡,日本人則靜坐聆聽“除夜之鐘”,鐘聲停歇就意味新年的來到。人們便離座上床睡覺,希望得一好夢(mèng)。日本人稱元旦初一為“正日”。1-3日為“三賀日”。在正日,小輩須先去父母那里拜年,向父母問安,然后到親友家拜年。日本人在“正日”這一天,早餐是很豐盛的,吃砂糖竽艿、蕎麥面等,喝屠蘇酒。此后一連三天,則吃素的,以示虔誠(chéng),祈求來年大吉大利,F(xiàn)日本多數(shù)城里人已放棄新年吃素習(xí)慣,改在“除夜”吃一餐空心面條,以祝在新的一年里,健康長(zhǎng)壽。

埃及

  埃及把尼羅河漲水的這一天作為新年的開始,稱為“漲水新年”。埃及的克魯特人迎接新年,在門口放一張桌子,七八只碟子供著大豆、扁豆、紫苜蓿和小麥的顆粒,還有好些綠色植物的小芽,這象征豐裕。獻(xiàn)給神的東西越多,新年的收成就越多。埃及的新年在秋天,因埃及的農(nóng)業(yè)生產(chǎn)是從秋季開始的。

印度

  每年10月31日起為新年,共5天,第四天為元旦。新年第一天,誰(shuí)也不許生氣發(fā)脾氣。有的地區(qū),元旦早上家家戶戶哭聲不斷,他們以歲月易逝、人生苦短,用哭來迎新年。有些地區(qū),禁食一天一夜來迎接新的一年。由于這種怪異的習(xí)俗,印度的元旦被人稱為“痛哭元旦”、“禁食元旦”。在過年的前5天,印度各地都要演出印度史詩(shī)《羅摩衍那》,(意為羅摩的游行)。除夕夜,家家戶戶門前都張貼上各種精美圖畫。元旦早上,人們提著精制的小燈,拿著紅粉包,出門向老人和親友拜年。見面道喜后,就互相將紅粉涂在對(duì)方的額上,表示吉祥如意,抬頭見喜。年青人把紅墨水裝進(jìn)水槍里,射到親友身上,稱為“灑紅”,表示吉祥如意。印度青年喜歡在過新年時(shí)不管熟悉與否,見面徒手格斗,圍觀者叫好助威風(fēng)。中部土著民族勃希勒人,為慶祝新年,在游戲場(chǎng)中豎立一根圓滑粗大的木桿,桿頂有一只盛著禮品的小袋,姑娘們手持竹竿竭力阻撓向桿上爬去的小伙子,小伙子們則在桿下圍成一圈,努力防御姑娘們對(duì)爬桿者的攻擊,直到爬竿者奪得小袋取得勝利為止。
                 

朝鮮

  朝鮮和我們中國(guó)一樣,在新年也有貼窗花、桃符的勻俗。朝鮮人在新年時(shí),家家戶戶貼對(duì)聯(lián)和年畫。有的人家在門上貼上壽星或仙女的畫像,祈求上天保佑,驅(qū)走鬼魅,賜給幸福。元旦黎明,人們把一些鈔票塞進(jìn)了除夕預(yù)先扎好的稻草人中,扔到十字路口,表示送走邪惡,迎接吉祥福星。黃昏,人們又將全家人一年中脫落的頭發(fā)燒掉,祝愿家人四季平安。新春佳節(jié),朝鮮的婦女穿戴一新。元旦少女們頭戴一種麻制的帽子,稱為“福巾”,身穿帶花紋的五色彩衣,進(jìn)行蕩秋千比賽。她們以一處樹花為目標(biāo),看誰(shuí)先踢到或咬到為勝。也有在高處掛上銅鈴的,以先碰響者為冠軍。新年期間,朝鮮人除了享以美酒佳肴外,還必須要做一種用糯米加上松子、栗子粉、棗泥和蜂蜜等,蒸煮成與我國(guó)的八寶飯相類似的甜飯食用,以預(yù)示家里人丁興旺日子過得像蜜一樣甜。
                 

英國(guó)

  在英國(guó),公歷元旦雖沒有圣誕節(jié)那樣隆重,但在除夕夜和元旦,還是根據(jù)當(dāng)?shù)氐娘L(fēng)俗勻慣開展種種慶;顒(dòng)。除夕深夜,人們常帶上糕點(diǎn)和酒出去拜訪,他們不敲門,就徑直走進(jìn)親友家去。按英國(guó)人的風(fēng)俗,除夕夜過后,朝屋里邁進(jìn)第一只腳的人,預(yù)示著新的一年的運(yùn)氣。如果第一個(gè)客人是個(gè)黑發(fā)的男人,或是個(gè)快樂、幸福而富裕的人,主人就將全年吉利走好運(yùn)。如果第一個(gè)客人是個(gè)淺黃頭發(fā)的女人,或是個(gè)憂傷、貧窮、不幸的人,主人在新的一年中將遭霉運(yùn),會(huì)遇上困難和災(zāi)禍。除夕在親友家作客的人,在未交談前,要先去撥弄壁爐的火,祝福主人“開門大吉”。英國(guó)的新年慶;顒(dòng)大都在除夕夜舉行,“迎新宴會(huì)”便是其中之一。這種宴會(huì)分“家庭宴會(huì)”和“團(tuán)體宴會(huì)”兩種,宴會(huì)通常從除夕晚上8時(shí)開始中直至元旦凌晨結(jié)束。宴會(huì)上備有各種美酒佳肴和點(diǎn)心,供人們通宵達(dá)量地開懷暢飲。午夜時(shí)分,人們打開收音機(jī),聆聽教堂大鐘的新年鐘聲,鐘聲鳴響時(shí),人們一片歡騰,舉杯祝酒,盡情歡呼,高歌《往昔的日光》。“除夕舞會(huì)”則是另一種慶祝活動(dòng)。由當(dāng)?shù)氐穆灭^和舞會(huì),夜幕降臨。人們身著節(jié)日盛裝,從四面八方杰到這些裝飾一新的燈光輝煌的舞場(chǎng),在美妙的樂聲中翩翩起舞,成千上萬(wàn)的人群,還云集到各個(gè)廣場(chǎng),圍繞著廣場(chǎng)中心的噴泉和厄洛斯神象,載歌載舞,盡情狂歡。

德國(guó)

  德國(guó)的新年,慶祝時(shí)間前后有一周。這期間,家家戶戶都要擺上一棵樅樹和橫樹,樹葉間系滿絹花,表示繁花如錦,春滿人間。德國(guó)人在除夕午夜新年光臨前一刻,爬到椅子上,鐘聲一響,他們就跳下椅子,并將一重物拋向椅背后,以示甩去禍患,跳入新年。孩子們組成樂隊(duì),穿上新衣服,拿著口琴和手風(fēng)琴,列隊(duì)在街上吹奏。成年人則手持彩旗,跟在后面吶喊唱歌,歡慶新年,德國(guó)的婦女在新年里要即興表演家庭題材的喜劇小品。在德國(guó)的農(nóng)村流傳著一種過新年的風(fēng)俗——“爬樹比賽”,小伙子們順著光禿禿的樹比賽爬高,第一名被譽(yù)為“新年英雄”,以示步步高升。

伊朗

  伊朗實(shí)行的是伊斯蘭歷,它的季節(jié)和月份是不固定的。在伊朗,慶賀新年就是慶祝春天到來,往往是在公歷3月下旬,過新年要隆重慶祝一周,人們涌上街頭生起“篝火”——“夜火”,然后全家人依次從夜火上跳來跳去,表示燒掉“晦氣”,迎來光明,驅(qū)邪滅病,幸福永存。除夕夜要吃“七道菜”,每道菜的名稱都要以字母“S”開頭的,以示吉祥。初一到初三,人們走親訪友,互祝春節(jié)快樂。新年最后一天,全家出游踏青,以避邪惡。

法國(guó)

  以酒來慶祝新年,人們從除夕起開始狂歡痛飲,直到1月3日才終止。法國(guó)人認(rèn)為元旦這一天的天氣預(yù)示著新的一年的年景。元旦清晨他們就上街看風(fēng)向來占卜:刮南風(fēng),預(yù)兆風(fēng)調(diào)雨順,這一年會(huì)是平安而炎熱;刮西風(fēng),有一個(gè)捕魚和擠奶的豐收年;刮東風(fēng),水果將高產(chǎn);刮北風(fēng),則是欠收年。
