春節(jié)的英語資料1
Spring, the sweet spring, is the year's pleasant king;
Then blooms each thing, then maids dance in a ring,
Cold doth not sting, the pretty birds do sing,
Cuckoo, jug-jug, pu-we, to-witta-woo!
The palm and may make country houses gay,
Lambs frisk and play, the shepherds pipe all day,
And we hear aye birds tune this merry lay,
Cuckoo, jug-jug, pu-we, to-witta-woo!
The fields breathe sweet, the daisies kiss our feet,
Young lovers meet, old wives a sunning sit,
In every street these tunes our ears do greet,
Cuckoo, jug-jug, pu-we, to-witta-woo!
Spring! The sweet Spring!
春節(jié)的英語資料2
The Spring Festival is the most important festival for the Chinese people and is when all family members get together, just like Christmas in the West. All people living away from home go back, becoming the busiest time for transportation systems of about half a month from the Spring Festival. Airports, railway stations and long-distance bus stations are crowded with home returnees.
Strictly speaking, the Spring Festival starts every year in the early days of the 12th lunar month and will last till the mid 1st lunar month of the next year. Of them, the most important days are Spring Festival Eve and the first three days. The Chinese government now stipulates people have seven days off for the Chinese Lunar New Year.
Many customs accompany the Spring Festival. Some are still followed today, but others have weakened.
On the 8th day of the 12th lunar month, many families make laba porridge, a delicious kind of porridge made with glutinous rice, millet, seeds of Job's tears, jujube berries, lotus seeds, beans, longan and gingko.
The 23rd day of the 12th lunar month is called Preliminary Eve. At this time, people offer sacrifice to the kitchen god. Now however, most families make delicious food to enjoy themselves.
After the Preliminary Eve, people begin preparing for the coming New Year. This is called "Seeing the New Year in".
Store owners are busy then as everybody goes out to purchase necessities for the New Year. Materials not only include edible oil, rice, flour, chicken, duck, fish and meat, but also fruit, candies and kinds of nuts. What's more, various decorations, new clothes and shoes for the children as well as gifts for the elderly, friends and relatives, are all on the list of purchasing.
Before the New Year comes, the people completely clean the indoors and outdoors of their homes as well as their clothes, bedclothes and all their utensils.
Then people begin decorating their clean rooms featuring an atmosphere of rejoicing and festivity. All the door panels will be pasted with Spring Festival couplets, highlighting Chinese calligraphy with black characters on red paper. The content varies from house owners' wishes for a bright future to good luck for the New Year. Also, pictures of the god of doors and wealth will be posted on front doors to ward off evil spirits and welcome peace and abundance.
The Chinese character "fu" (meaning blessing or happiness) is a must. The character put on paper can be pasted normally or upside down, for in Chinese the "reversed fu" is homophonic with "fu comes", both being pronounced as "fudaole." What's more, two big red lanterns can be raised on both sides of the front door. Red paper-cuttings can be seen on window glass and brightly colored New Year paintings with auspicious meanings may be put on the wall.
People attach great importance to Spring Festival Eve. At that time, all family members eat dinner together. The meal is more luxurious than usual. Dishes such as chicken, fish and bean curd cannot be excluded, for in Chinese, their pronunciations, respectively "ji", "yu" and "doufu," mean auspiciousness, abundance and richness. After the dinner, the whole family will sit together, chatting and watching TV. In recent years, the Spring Festival party broadcast on China Central Television Station (CCTV) is essential entertainment for the Chinese both at home and abroad. According to custom, each family will stay up to see the New Year in.

春節(jié)的英語介紹
CHINESE NEW YEAR
Chinese New Year starts with the New Moon on the first day of the new year and ends on the full moon 15 days later. The 15th day of the new year is called the Lantern Festival, which is celebrated at night with lantern displays and children carrying lanterns in a parade.
The Chinese calendar is based on a combination of lunar and solar movements. The lunar cycle is about 29.5 days. In order to "catch up" with the solar calendar the Chinese an extra month once every few years (seven years out of a 19-yearcycle). This is the same as adding an extra day on leap year. This is why, according to the solar calendar, the Chinese New Year falls on a different date each year.
New Year's Eve and New Year's Day are celebrated as a family affair, a time of reunion and thanksgiving. The celebration was traditionally highlighted with a religious ceremony given in honor of Heaven and Earth, the gods of the household and the family ancestors.
The sacrifice to the ancestors, the most vital of all the rituals, united the living members with those who had passed away. Departed relatives are remembered with great respect because they were responsible for laying the foundations for the fortune and glory of the family.
The presence of the ancestors is acknowledged on New Year's Eve with a dinner arranged for them at the family banquet table. The spirits of the ancestors, together with the living, celebrate the onset of the New Year as one great community. The communal feast called "surrounding the stove" or weilu. It symbolizes family unity and honors the past and present generations.
春節(jié)的習(xí)俗英語版
掃塵 Sweeping the Dust
“Dust” is homophonic with "chen”(塵)in Chinese, which means old and past. In this way, "sweeping the dust” before the Spring Festival means a thorough cleaning of houses to sweep away bad luck in the past year. This custom shows a good wish of putting away old things to welcome a new life. In a word, just before the Spring Festival comes, every household will give a thorough cleaning to bid farewell to the old year and usher in the new.
貼春聯(lián) Pasting Spring Couplets
“The Spring Couplet”, also called "couplet” and "a pair of antithetical phrases”, is a special form of literature in China. The Spring Couplet is composed of two antithetical sentences on both sides of the door and a horizontal scroll bearing an inscription, usually an auspicious phrase, above the gate. The sentence pasting on the right side of the door is called the first line of the couplet and the one on the left the second line. On the eve of the Spring Festival, every household will paste on doors a spring couplet written on red paper to give a happy and prosperous atmosphere of the Festival. In the past, the Chinese usually wrote their own spring couplet with a brush or asked others to do for them, while nowadays, it is common for people to buy the printed spring couplet in the market.
貼窗花和“!弊 Pasting Paper-cuts and "Up-sided Fu”
Paper-cuts, usually with auspicious patterns, give a happy and prosperous atmosphere of the Festival and express the good wishes of Chinese people looking forward to a good life. In addition to pasting paper-cuts on windows, it is common for Chinese to paste the character "fu(福)”, big and small, on walls, doors and doorposts around the houses. "Fu(福)” shows people’s yearning toward a good life. Some people even invert the character "fu(福)” to signify that blessing has arrived because "inverted” is a homonym for "arrive” in Chinese. Now many kinds of paper-cuts and "fu(福)” can be seen in the market before the Festival.
守歲 Staying Up Late on New Year‘s Eve
The tradition of staying up late to see New Year in originated from an interesting folk tale. In ancient China there lived a monster named Year, who was very ferocious. Year always went out from its burrow on New Year’s Eve to devour people. Therefore, on every New Year’s Eve, every household would have supper together. After dinner, no one dared go to sleep and all the family members would sit together, chatting and emboldening each other. Gradually the habit of staying up late on New Year’s Eve is formed. Thus in China, "celebrating the Spring Festival” is also called "passing over the year (guo nian)”。 However, now there are less and less people in cities who will stay up late to see New Year in.
貼年畫 Pasting New Year Prints
The custom of pasting New Year Prints originated from the tradition of placing Door Gods on the external doors of houses. With the creation of board carvings, New Year paintings cover a wide range of subjects. The most famous ones are Door Gods, Surplus Year after Year, Three Gods of Blessing, Salary and Longevity, An Abundant Harvest of Crops, Thriving Domestic Animals and Celebrating Spring. Four producing areas of New Year Print are Tɑohuɑwu of Suzhou, Yɑngliuqing of Tianjin, Wuqiɑng of Hebei and Weifang of Shangdong. Now the tradition of pasting New Year paintings is still kept in rural China, while it is seldom followed in cities.
吃餃子 Having Jiaozi
On New Year’s Eve, the whole family will sit together to make jiaozi and celebrate the Spring Festival. The shape of jiaozi is like gold ingot from ancient China. So people eat them and wish for money and treasure. The tradition of having jiaozi is very important during the Spring Festival. You cannot have a complete Spring Festival without having jiaozi. (See page 82 for more information about "jiaozi”)

Ancient times, the first day of the year is called the new year's day, also called Genshin, motohi, Yuanshuo etc.. Yuan beginning also, once a morning song written by Wu Zimu, "dream Liang Lu" said "the first month shuori, called the new year's day, people call for the new year. One year in order, this is the first. " Qin Shihuang unified China after month for the first month, the first month of winter. "Positive", originally when read into open and aboveboard "is" why now, people accustomed to the "is" read "sign"? This is from the beginning of the emperor Qin Shihuang. Because Qin Shihuang's surname won the name of "Zheng", "Zheng" and "Zheng" two sounds are the same. In order to avoid the taboo, they ordered the national "Zheng" of the first month to be read as "sign". From then on, people no longer called "the first moon", but they were read as "the month". After the memory of the later, all the time. To the Han Dynasty, Sima Qian to write "the sun based lunar calendar", fixed to mengchun months a year for the first month. From the Han Dynasty to the Qing Dynasty, has been using the calendar. So, people still called the lunar lunar calendar, also called the lunar calendar or lunar calendar. In 1911, the revolution of 1911 overthrew the rule of the Qing Dynasty, the abolition of the Chinese calendar, Chinese began the Gregorian calendar, the Gregorian calendar in January 1st for each year in New Year's day, so, in order to distinguish the lunar and solar calendar, people just called in the 1th day of the first month of the Chinese lunar calendar for the Spring Festival, the new year's Day is no longer known.
According to historical records, the annual harvest ceremony originated from the Zhou Dynasty (1121- 771 BC). Although the ceremony was in the November, it has always been regarded as the origin of new year's custom. In order to show the authority of "the son of heaven", the ancient emperors tended to stand on their own calendar, so the Lunar New Year's Day was inconsistent. Han Wudi (87 B.C., 87 years ago) succeeded, and decided to reunite the calendar. The calendar we use today is the Han Dynasty after Dynasty through a number of revisions, but the 1th day of the first month of the Chinese lunar calendar is "new year", but the original since the Han Dynasty set calendar. Erya "20xx" notes: "summer, taking day year." Since the Shang, full moon in a lack of regard for the first month, looking for the moon, fifteen. At the beginning of each year from the first day of the night moon date, called "New Year's Day" or "the lunar new year". The Spring Festival is in the legend of the Xia Dynasty, is now the equivalent of February. The Western Han Dynasty is the first year, Sima Qian proposed the creation of the beginning calendar, the Spring Festival set in january. The determination and change of the Spring Festival also reflect the development and maturity of China's astronomy and calendar.
The Lunar New Year's day, there are many other names, such as: motohi, Yuanshuo, yuan, Yuan Chen, Xinzheng, Spring Festival, new year, new year's day and so on, is the first day of the year.
古代把一年的第一天叫做元旦,又稱元辰,元日、元朔等。元者始也,旦者晨也,宋人吳自牧所著《夢粱錄》說“正月朔日,謂之元旦,俗呼為新年。一歲節(jié)序,此為之首。”秦始皇統(tǒng)一中國后,以孟冬之月為正月!罢,本來當(dāng)念成正大光明的“正”,為什么現(xiàn)在人們習(xí)慣地將“正”念作“征”呢?這便是從秦始皇稱帝時(shí)開始的。因?yàn)榍厥蓟市召,“政”和“正”兩音相同,為了避諱,就下令全國將正月的“正”讀作“征”。從此人們不再叫“正月”,而念成“征月”。以后念熟了,一直沿傳后世。到漢武帝時(shí),司馬遷以夏歷為基礎(chǔ)編寫《太陽歷》,固定以孟春之月即一年第一個(gè)月為正月。自漢朝到清未,一直采用夏朝的歷法。所以,人們至今還把陰歷稱作夏歷,也稱它為農(nóng)歷或舊歷。1911年,辛亥革命推翻了清王朝的統(tǒng)治,廢除夏歷,中國開始采用公歷,每年以公歷1月1日為新年元旦,這樣,為了區(qū)別農(nóng)歷和陽歷,人們就只稱農(nóng)歷正月初一為春節(jié),而不再別稱元旦了。
據(jù)史書記載,一年一度慶祝豐收的儀式起源于周王朝(公元前1121-前771年〕,這個(gè)儀式雖然是在農(nóng)歷十一月間,但歷來人們都認(rèn)為它是新年習(xí)俗的起源。古代帝王繼位,為了顯示“天子”的'權(quán)威,往往自立歷法,因此歷代元旦月日都不一致。漢武帝(公元前140-前87年〕繼位,決定重修歷法,使之統(tǒng)一。今日我們所采用的歷法是漢武帝以后,經(jīng)過多個(gè)朝代修定的,但農(nóng)歷正月初一為“元旦”,乃原自漢武帝定下的歷法。<<爾雅>>對“年”的注解是:“夏曰歲,商曰年!弊砸笊唐穑言聢A缺一次為一月,初一為朔,十五為望。每年的開始從正月朔日子夜算起,叫“元旦”或“元日”。傳說夏朝的春節(jié),是在相當(dāng)于現(xiàn)在的的二月。西漢武帝太初元年時(shí),司馬遷建議創(chuàng)立了太初歷,把春節(jié)定在孟春正月。春節(jié)的確定及變遷,也反映了我國天文、歷法的發(fā)展和成熟。
農(nóng)歷元旦,還有許多別的名稱,如:元日、元朔、元正、元辰、正旦、新正、新春、新年等等,都是指一年的第一天。

The 23rd day of the 12th lunar month is called Preliminary Eve. At this time, people offer sacrifice to the kitchen god. Now however, most families make delicious food to enjoy themselves.
After the Preliminary Eve, people begin preparing for the coming New Year. This is called "Seeing the New Year in".

The Chinese character "fu" (meaning blessing or happiness) is a must. The character put on paper can be pasted normally or upside down, for in Chinese the "reversed fu" is homophonic with "fu comes", both being pronounced as "fudaole." What's more, two big red lanterns can be raised on both sides of the front door. Red paper-cuttings can be seen on window glass and brightly colored New Year paintings with auspicious meanings may be put on the wall.
People attach great importance to Spring Festival Eve. At that time, all family members eat dinner together. The meal is more luxurious than usual. Dishes such as chicken, fish and bean curd cannot be excluded, for in Chinese, their pronunciations, respectively "ji", "yu" and "doufu," mean auspiciousness, abundance and richness. After the dinner, the whole family will sit together, chatting and watching TV. In recent years, the Spring Festival party broadcast on China Central Television Station (CCTV) is essential entertainment for the Chinese both at home and abroad. According to custom, each family will stay up to see the New Year in.
擴(kuò)展閱讀:關(guān)于春節(jié)貼春聯(lián)的習(xí)俗
春聯(lián)屬于楹聯(lián)的一種。楹聯(lián)分為春聯(lián)、壽聯(lián)、挽聯(lián),門聯(lián)、廳聯(lián)、廟聯(lián),名勝聯(lián)、商業(yè)聯(lián)、游戲聯(lián)等多種形式,而春聯(lián)只是楹聯(lián)其中的一種。所謂楹聯(lián),就是掛在或貼在堂屋前的廊柱或門框上的上下相對的聯(lián)語,因此,楹聯(lián)也叫對聯(lián)。這種對聯(lián)是由兩串字?jǐn)?shù)相等、互相對仗,而且具有一定內(nèi)涵的'獨(dú)立文體,就是說,對聯(lián)的上下聯(lián)字?jǐn)?shù)不限,但必須相等,內(nèi)容要有意義,平仄要合律,對仗要工整。凡符合這些條件的都是對聯(lián),否則就算不上對聯(lián)。
楹聯(lián)是中華民族特有的一種源遠(yuǎn)流長的文學(xué)形式。它最初起源于桃符。桃符是中國古代掛在門框上的,畫著或刻有避邪圖形或字跡的兩塊桃木板,桃符早在秦漢以前就出現(xiàn)了,當(dāng)年中國民間每逢過年,就有在大門的左右懸掛畫著或刻著降鬼大仙神荼、郁壘桃符的習(xí)俗。
那么為什么桃木能避災(zāi)驅(qū)邪呢?根據(jù)中國古代神話《山海經(jīng)》的記載,遠(yuǎn)古時(shí)代有座山是個(gè)鬼的世界,叫鬼域。在這個(gè)鬼域門口,有棵大桃樹,樹冠能覆蓋三千里,在樹上生活著一只金雞,負(fù)責(zé)每天的報(bào)曉,每當(dāng)清晨金雞啼叫的時(shí)候,夜晚出去游蕩的鬼魂就必須趕回鬼域。在鬼域的大門兩邊站著兩個(gè)神人,名叫神荼、郁壘。如果鬼魂在夜間干了傷天害理的事情,神荼、郁壘就會(huì)立將它們捉住,用繩子捆起來,送去喂虎,因而所有的鬼魂都畏懼神荼、郁壘。這樣在民間就流傳開用降鬼大仙神荼、郁壘和桃木驅(qū)邪、避災(zāi)的風(fēng)習(xí)。他們用桃木刻成神荼、郁壘的模樣,或在桃木板上刻上神荼、郁壘的名字,掛在自家門口,用以避邪防害。這種桃木板被稱做桃符。

Chinese New Year
Its origin is ancient, but many believe the word Nian, which means "year", was the name of a beast that preyed on people on the eve of a new year.
In one legend, the beast, Nian, had the power to swallow up all the people in a village in one big bite. Village people were very scared of Nian.
One day, an old man came to the villagers' rescue, offering to subdue Nian. The old man asked Nian, "I know you can swallow people, but can you swallow other beasts of prey instead of people who are by no means your worthy opponents?"
Nian accepted the old man's challenge and swallowed the beasts that had harassed the villagers and their farm animals for years.
At the end of the legend, the old man disappeared riding off on Nian. In this legend, the old man turned out to be an immortal god.
In the end, Nian is gone and the other beasts of prey are scared into hiding in the forests. The villagers can once again enjoy their peaceful life.
The legend goes on to say before the old man left, he told the villagers to put red paper decorations on their windows and doors at each year's end in order to keep Nian away. It is believed Nian is afraid of the color
The tradition of observing the conquest of Nian is carried on from generation to generation. The term "Guo Nian", which means "Survive the Nian" became "Celebrate the Year" and the word "guo" in Chinese means both "pass over" and "observe".
The custom of putting up red paper and lighting firecrackers to scare away Nian continues today.
