春节是中国最富有特色的传统节日。它标志农历旧的一年结束。新的一年已经开始。人们将告别寒冷单调的冬季，迎接生机盎然的春天。 Spring Festival is the most distinctive traditional festival in China. It marks the end of the old lunar year. The new year has begun. People will bid farewell to the cold and monotonous winter and welcome the vigorous spring. 春节原名“元旦”，隋代杜台卿在《五烛宝典》中说：“正月为端月，其一日为元日，亦云正朝，亦云元朔。”“元”的本意为“头”，后引申为“开始”，因为这一天是一年的头一天，春季的头一天，正月的头一天，所以称为“三元”；因为这一天还是岁之朝，月之朝，日之朝，所以又称“三朝”；又因为它是第一个朔日，所以又称“元朔”。宋代的吴自牧在《梦梁录》中解释：“正月朔日，谓之元旦。”《说文解字》中对“旦”字的解释为“从日见一上，一，地也”，表示太阳刚刚从地平线上升起，就是早晨的意思。因为它分别表示一年的第一个早晨，正月的第一个早晨，所以称“元旦”和“正旦”。除上述称谓外，春节还称“开年”、“开岁”、“芳岁”、“华岁”等，在诸多称谓中以称“元旦”最普遍，时间最长久。 The original name of the Spring Festival was "New Year's Day". Du Taiqing of the Sui Dynasty said in the five candle Dictionary: "the first month is the end month, one of which is the new year's day, which is also the cloud Dynasty and the cloud new moon." The original meaning of "Yuan" is "head", later extended to "start", because this day is the first day of the year, the first day of spring, the first day of the first month, so it is called "three yuan"; because this day is still the year's day, the month's day and the day's day, so it is also called "Three Dynasties"; also because it is the first new day, so it is also called "Yuanshuo". In menglianglu, Wu Zimu of Song Dynasty explained: "the new year's Day is the new year's day of the first month." In Shuowen Jiezi, the word "Dan" is interpreted as "from the sunrise to the earth", which means that the sun just rises from the horizon, that is, the morning. Because it represents the first morning of the year and the first morning of the first month, it is called "New Year's Day" and "New Year's Day". In addition to the above appellations, Spring Festival is also called "new year", "new year", "Fangsui", "Huasui", etc. among many appellations, "New Year's Day" is the most common and the longest. |
