【中国传统节日之——春节】

起源：春节的来历，在我国大约有四千多年的历史了。它是我国民间最热闹、最隆重的一个传统节日。古代的春节，是指农历二十四个节气中的“立春”时节，南北朝以后才将春节改在一年岁末，并泛指整个春季，这时大地回春，万象更新，人们便把它作为新的一年的开始。到了辛亥革命后的民国初年，改农历为公历[阳历]后，便将正月初一定为春节。直到1949年9月27日，中国人民政治协商会议上才正式把正月初一的新年定为“春节”，因而至今仍有许多人将过春节叫过年。
Origin: The origin of the Spring festival, it is a festival with 4000 years history. It is one of the liveliest festivals. Ancient Spring festival is the time when the spring begins, people changed it to the end of the year since Northern and Southern Dynasties, and it meant the whole spring, at this time with the advent of spring all is fresh again, so people regard it as the begin of a year. After the 1911 Revolution, changed the lunar calendar into solar calendar, and make the new year’s day as the Spring Festival. Until September 27th,1949,on the CPPCC changed the new year’s day as Spring Festival formally, so people called the Spring Festival the New Year.
相关传说
年： 人们常把过春节说成“过年”，而“年”的最初含义与今天根本不同。据说，在很古的时候，世界上有一种最凶恶的野兽叫“年”。它生长得比骆驼还大。跑起来比风还快，吼起来比雷还响。它一出来，见人吃人，见畜伤畜，人们的生命安全受到严重威胁。天神为了惩罚“年”，把它锁进深山，只许它一年出山一次。人们在长期的实践中，发现了“年”有“三怕”——怕红颜色、怕响声、怕火光。于是，有一年腊月三十晚，大伙在门口贴上红纸，不断地敲锣打鼓、放鞭炮，晚上屋子里彻夜点上灯。“年”晚上来了一看，家家灯光通明；一听，处处放炮声，吓得它不敢进村。白天它又偷偷下山来，见还是户户门上红，遍地咚咚响，吓得它胆颤心惊，调头又跑回去了。从此后，“年”一直没敢再来，据说饿死在深山老林里了。后来，人们才把防“年”、“驱年”，变成安安稳稳地过年了。“年”没有了，但是过年的习俗仍保持着。鲜红的春联，辉煌的灯火，清脆的爆竹，响亮的锣鼓，年年如此
