英文版传统节日介绍

传统节日中英文介绍。1、腊八节腊八节是指农历的腊月初八。在这天，中国人有喝腊八粥的习俗。一般腊八粥是甜味粥，里面有干果和干鲜果品，当然每家的腊八粥做法都不营养，在我们家的腊八粥里一般有红小豆，香米，核桃，花生，小米等等。过了腊八节，各家就开始置办年货，打扫卫生，正式开始为春节的到来做准备了。thelabaRicePorridgeFestival“LabaFestival”fallsontheeighthdayofthetwelfthmonthinlunarcalendar.Onthatday,themajorityChinesehavelongfollowedthetraditionofeatingLabariceporridge.Usually,thericeporridgetastessweet,withnutsanddriedfruit,butdifferentfamilieshavedifferentingredientsintheporridge.Myfamilyusuallymakeporridgewithsmallredbeans，fragrantrice，walnut，peanutandmillet.LabaFestivalalsomarksthebeginningofpreparingforspringfestival.Somefamiliesbegintodospringfestivalshoppingandcleantheirhousesafterthatday.2、小年小年又叫“祭灶节”，在农历的12月23或者24。在中国传统中，祭灶节这天，是掌管全家命运的神仙灶神将向玉皇大帝汇报这一家人一年的情况，玉皇大帝根据灶神汇报的情况决定在下一年对这一家的奖励或者惩罚。小年这天，是各家欢送灶王爷上天的日子。老百姓在这一天做糖瓜，希望灶神可以吃了糖瓜，多为自己家美言几句，让来年更加吉祥幸福。KitchenGod'sDayKitchenGod’sDayfallsonthe23rdor24thofthetwelfthmonthofthelunaryear.Accordingtotradition,KitchenGodwhoinchargeofthefateofthewholefamilygoesbacktoheavenduringthespringfestivaltodeliverwhatthefamilyhaddonethelastyeartotheGreatGod.AccordingtoKitchenGod’swords,theGreatGodmakesdecisiontorewardorpunishthefamilyinthenextyear.Inotherwords,itisthedaypeoplehonortheKitchenGod.Peopleusuallymadesugaredmelonswithmaltsugaronthatday.WehopeKitchenGodwilleatsugaredmelonsandputagoodwordforourfamilytotheGreatGod,sowe’llbeluckynextyear.3、春节对中国人来说，春节是最重要的节日。除夕这天，全家人要一起吃年夜饭。这是最好的一次家宴，不仅仅因为菜品丰富，更因为这是个全家人相聚的日子。年夜饭后，我们会一起包饺子，通常会全家人一起看央视春晚。过年的时候，各家都放鞭炮，贴春联。还有一件事也很重要，那就是守岁，就是在旧年的最后一天夜里不睡觉，熬夜迎接新一年的到来的习俗。大年初一，亲戚朋友相互拜年，祝愿新的一年能事事顺利。通常大人们还会给小孩子发压岁钱。大年初二回娘家，是指已婚妇女回娘家拜访。初五这天全家再次团聚吃饺子。这天是人们要迎接灶王爷下界的日子。同时，人们打扫卫生，放鞭炮，来驱走“晦气”。TheSpringFestivalThespringfestivalisthemostimportantfestivalforChinese.AtChineseNewYear’sEve,familymembershavereuniondinnertogether.Thisdinnerwouldbethebestdinner,notonlybecausewehavevariousdishes,butit’sthedaywecouldmeetallourfamilymembers.Afterfamilyreuniondinner,wemakeChinesedumplingstogether,andusuallywatchtheSpringFestivalGalaonCCTV.EachfamilywouldlightfirecrackersandpasteupSpringFestivalcouplets.Onemorethingisimportant,thatispeopleshouldstayuplateorallnightonNewYear'sEvetowelcomethenewyear.OnNewYear’sDayoftheChineselunarcalendar,relativesandfriendswouldsendNewYear'sgreetingstoeachothertowisheverythingsmoothintheNewYear.AdultusuallygiveluckymoneytochildrenduringSpringFestival.TheseconddayoftheNewYearisusuallycalledthedayofvisitingparentalhome,whichmeansthatmarrieddaughtersshouldreturntotheirparents'home.Familymembersreunitetoeatdumplingsonthefifthdayofthefirstlunarmonth.Onthatday,peoplewelcometheKitchenGodcomebacktomortalworld.Peoplecleanhouseandlightfirecrackersothatkeepawayallbadluck.4、正月十五元宵节标志着中国春节的结束，是农历正月十五。通常这天家家都会吃元宵。元宵节的传统活动是赏花灯和猜灯谜。元宵节赏花灯正好是一个交谊的机会，未婚男女借着赏花灯也顺便可以为自己物色对象。这天我们还会看到舞龙和舞狮的表演。TheLanternFestivalTheLanternFestivalmarkstheendofthecelebrationsoftheChineseNewYear,andit'sonthe15thdayofthe1stlunarmonth,PeopleusuallyeatriceglueballsonLanternfestival.Traditionalactivitiesareenjoyingthedisplayofvariouslanternsandriddlesolving.Enjoyingbeautifullanternsisalsoanopportunityforsinglestomakefriends.Dragonandliondancescanalsobeenseenonthatday.5、清明节清明节是我国传统节日，也是最重要的祭祀节日，是祭祖和扫墓的日子。清明节是24节气之一，预示着春耕的好时节已经到了。清明节又叫踏青节，因为一般在四月5日左右，正是中国的春天，人们喜欢郊游踏青，还喜欢在清明节放风筝。QingmingFestival/TombsweepingdayTombSweepingDayistraditionalfestivalofChina,isalsothemostimportantsacrificefestival,onthatday,peopleworshipsancestorsandvisitsgrave.Peoplepayrespectstosomebodyathistomb.Itisoneofthe24solarterms,meansthatit’sgoodtimeforspringploughing.TombSweepingDayfallsaroundAprilfifth,andit’sduringthespringofChina,soitisalsocalled“hikingday”.Peoplegotothesuburbsforanoutinginspring.PeoplelovetoflykitesduringtheQingmingFestival6、端午节端午节是为了纪念中国伟大的爱国诗人屈原，是农历五月初五。端午节有吃粽子和赛龙舟的习俗。粽子是一种用竹叶或芦苇叶包成棱形的状的饭团子。我们将艾蒿放在门上辟邪，艾蒿还有驱除蚊虫的作用。端午节给儿童缠七色线，一直要戴到节后第一次下雨才解下来扔在雨水里。DragonBoatFestival/DuanwuFestivalThefestivalistocommemorateagreatpatrioticpoetofChina——QuYuan.Itfallsonthefifthdayofthefifthmonthinlunarcalendar.ThereisthecustomsofeatingZongziandracingdragon-boatonDragonBoatFestival.Zongziisapyramid-shapeddumplingmadeofglutinousriceandwrappedinbambooorreedleavestogiveitaspecialflavor.Weputmugwortonthedoortowardoffevil,andithasinsectrepellentfunction.Childrenwearbraceletmadebysevencoloredstringsuntilthefirstrainafterthefestival,theyshouldthrowthestringsintopuddle.7、中秋节每年的农历八月十五是中秋节。对中国人来说圆月代表着幸福圆满，所以中秋节时中国人全家团聚，一同赏月、吃月饼、吃石榴。月饼是圆形或矩形的糕点，大多数月饼皮薄酥软，馅足香甜。Mid-AutumnDayMid-autumndayfallsonthefifteenthdayofeighthlunarmonth.ForChinese,thefullmoonmeansblessednessandunity.Traditionally,onthatday,Chinesefamilymembersandfriendswillgathertoadmirethebrightmid-autumnmoon,andeatmooncakesandpomegranatetogether.Typicalmooncakesareroundorrectangularpastries.Mostmooncakesconsistofathintenderskinenvelopingasweet,densefillingMyexplanationsofinterestingquestions：1、WhydoChinesehaveSpringFestival?Wherediditcomefrom?InChinesemythology,themonsterNianisabeastthatlivesinthemountains.Every365days,itcomesoutofhidingtoattackpeople,especiallychildren.Thatdayisthecriticaldayforpeople.ButNian
