别太长，我做小报~

Answer 1

中文：关于“春节”的起源，有一种传说是：中国古时候有一种叫“夕”的兽(又名"年")，头长触角，凶猛异常。“夕”长年深居海底，每到特定的一天（现在说的除夕）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“夕”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“夕”兽，那老人把胡子撩起来笑道：“婆婆若让我在家呆一夜，我一定把‘夕’兽赶走。”老婆婆继续劝说，乞讨老人笑而不语。
半夜时分，“夕”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。“夕”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，“夕”浑身战栗，再不敢往前凑了。原来，“夕”最怕红色、火光和炸响。这时，婆婆的家门打开，只见院内一位身披红袍的老人在哈哈大笑。“夕”大惊失色，狼狈逃蹿了。
第二天也是正月初一，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“夕”兽的办法。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。这风俗广泛流传，成了中国民间最隆重的传统节日。
有说“春节”起源于中国殷商时期年头岁尾的祭神祭祖活动（腊祭）。西周初年已有了一年一度在新旧岁交替之际庆祝丰收和祭祀祖先的风俗活动，可以认为是“年”的雏形。但“年”的名称出现却较晚，年的名称是从周朝开始的（据《尔雅》记载，尧舜时称年为“载”，夏代称年为“岁”，商代称年为“祀”，直到周代才称为“年”）。古代帝王继位，为了显示“天子”的权威，往往自立历法（在历史上的不同朝代，年的时间不一样。夏代以一月为一年之首；商代以十二月为岁首，周代以十一月为岁首，秦代以十月为岁首。西汉时，汉武帝下诏推行太初历，才明确规定一月初一为岁首，以之为夏历新年）。年的时间到了西汉才正式固定下来，一直延续到今天。汉武帝（公元前140年～前87年）继位，决定重修历法使之统一，司马迁建议创立了太初历，把春节定在孟春正月。今日我们所采用的历法是汉武帝以后，经过多个朝代修定的，但农历正月初一为“元旦”的年节作为中华民族最隆重的节日，以固定的日子沿袭下来。 汉族的春节习俗，一般以吃年糕、饺子、糍粑、汤圆、荷包蛋、大肉丸、全鱼、美酒、福橘、苹果、花生、瓜子、糖果、香茗及肴馔为主；并伴有掸扬尘、洗被褥、备年货、贴春联、贴年画、贴剪纸、贴窗花、贴福字、点蜡烛、点旺火、放鞭炮、守岁、给压岁钱、拜年、走亲戚、上祖坟、逛花市、闹社火等众多活动，极尽天伦之乐。中国人过春节还有挂中国结的习惯。大年三十之前天津人有到古文化街乔香阁请中国结的习俗，取乔香纳福之意；温州人有去自己的信教虔诚祈祷，希望能够在新的一年里，与家人一起获得幸福。其中，多为佛教。
千百年来，人们使年俗庆祝活动变得异常丰富多彩，每年从农历腊月二十三日起到年三十，民间把这段时间叫做“迎春日”，也叫“扫尘日”，在春节前扫尘搞卫生，是我国人民素有的传统习惯。
然后就是家家户户准备年货，节前十天左右，人们就开始忙于采购物品，年货包括鸡鸭鱼肉、茶酒油酱、南北炒货、糖饵果品，都要采买充足，还要准备一些过年时走亲访友时赠送的礼品，小孩子要添置新衣新帽，准备过年时穿。
在节前要在住宅的大门上粘贴红纸黄字的新年寄语，也就是用红纸写成的春联。屋里张贴色彩鲜艳寓意吉祥的年画，心灵手巧的姑娘们剪出美丽的窗花贴在窗户上，门前挂大红灯笼或贴福字及财神、门神像等，福字还可以倒贴，路人一念福倒了，也就是福气到了，所有这些活动都是要为节日增添足够的喜庆气氛。
春节的另一名称叫过年。在过去的传说中，年是一种为人们带来坏运气的想象中的动物。年一来。树木凋蔽，百草不生；年一过，万物生长，鲜花遍地。年如何才能过去呢？需用鞭炮轰，于是有了燃鞭炮的习俗，这其实也是烘托热闹场面的又一种方式。
春节是个欢乐祥和的节日，也是亲人团聚的日子，离家在外的孩子在过春节时都要回家欢聚。过年的前一夜，就是旧年的腊月三十夜，也叫除夕，又叫团圆夜，在这新旧交替的时候，守岁是最重要的年俗活动之一，除夕晚上，全家老小都一起熬年守岁，欢聚酣饮，共享天伦之乐，北方地区在除夕有吃饺子的习俗，饺子的作法是先和面，和字就是合；饺子的饺和交谐音，合和交有相聚之意，又取更岁交子之意。在南方有过年吃年糕的习惯，甜甜的粘粘的年糕象征新一年生活甜蜜蜜，步步高。
待第一声鸡啼响起，或是新年钟声敲过，街上鞭炮齐鸣，响声此起彼伏，家家喜气洋洋，新的一年开始了，男女老少都穿着节日盛装，先给家族中的长者拜年祝寿，节中还有给儿童压岁钱，吃团年饭，初二、三庚寅年新年贺图就开始走亲戚看朋友，相互拜年，道贺祝福，说些恭贺新喜、恭喜发财、恭喜、过年好等话，祭祖等活动。
节日的热烈气氛不仅洋溢在各家各户，也充满各地的大街小巷，一些地方的街市上还有舞狮子，耍龙灯，演社火，游花市，逛庙会等习俗。这期间花灯满城，游人满街，热闹非凡，盛况空前，直要闹到正月十五元宵节过后，春节才算真正结束了。
过春节，燃放爆竹，在门窗上张贴字画祈福、装点居所，是这个节日最普遍的习俗。
