篇1
The Origin of Chinese New Year The Chinese New Year is now popularly known as the SpringFestival because it starts from the Begining of Spring ***the first of the twenty-four terms incoodination with the changes of Nature***。 Its origin is too old to be traced. Severalexplanations are hanging around. All agree， however， that the word Nian， which in modernChinese solely means year， was originally the name of a monster beast that started to prey onpeople the night before the beginning of a new year.
One legend goes that the beast Nian had a very big mouth that would swallow a great manypeople with one bite. People were very scared. One day， an old man came to their rescue，offering to subdue Nian. To Nian he said， I hear say that you are very capable， but can youswallow the other beasts of prey on earth instead of people who are by no means of yourworthy opponents? So， it did swallow many of the beasts of prey on earth that alsoharrassed people and their domestic animals from time to time.
After that， the old man disappeared riding the beast Nian. He turned out to be an immortalgod. Now that Nian is gone and other beasts of prey are also scared into forests， peoplebegin to enjoy their peaceful life. Before the old man left， he had told people to put up redpaper decorations on their windows and doors at each year's end to scare away Nian in case itsneaked back again， because red is the color the beast feared the most.
From then on， the tradition of observing the conquest of Nian is carried on from generation togeneration. The term Guo Nian， which may mean Survive the Nian becomes today Celebratethe ***New*** Year as the word guo in Chinese having both the meaning of pass-over andobserve. The custom of putting up red paper and firing fire-crackers to scare away Nian shouldit have a chance to run loose is still around. However， people today have long forgotten whythey are doing all this， except that they feel the color and the sound add to the excitement ofthe celebration.
篇2
a long time ago in china lived the jade emperor. it was his birthday. he wanted to measure time to know how old he was.
很久很久以前住著一位玉皇大帝，有一天他的生日到了，他想測量一下時間，好讓他知道自己已經多少歲了。
all the animals arrived. the emperor decided to have a race to give a name to each year of the chinese zodiac.
所有的小動物們都到了，玉帝決定舉行一個比賽，來決定每一年的名字。
the rat and the cat couldn't swim very well.
"can you take us across the river?"
"yes, jump and quick!"
老鼠和貓都不太會游泳，
***他們對牛說***”你能帶我們過河嗎?“
”可以，快來上來吧。“
they swam across the river. then the rat pushed the cat into the water and jumped on to land.
他們游到河邊，然後老鼠把貓推下了河，自己跳到了岸上。***這就是為什麼十二生肖中沒有貓的原因了***
”well done,rat! the first year will be the year of the rat and the second will be the year of the ox."
“幹得好，老鼠! 第一年就是鼠年，第二年是牛年。”
"look! here's the tiger. he's very tired. the third year will be the year of the tiger."
“看!老虎來了。它很累，第三年就是虎年了。”
"the rabbit can't swim but he's very clever. the fourth year will be the year of the rabbit."
“兔子不會游泳但他很聰明，第四年就是兔年。”
"why are you late, dragon? you can fly!"
"i had to make some rain for thirsty people to drink."
"well done! the fifth year is the year of the dragon."
"龍，你為什麼遲到了?你會飛啊!”
“我必須給乾渴的人們製造雨水。”***龍王爺是掌管下雨的***
“幹得好!第五年就是龍年了!”
"what's this? i can hear a horse. no, it's a snake. so the snake has the sixth year."
“誰來了?我好像聽到了馬的聲音。不，是蛇，所以第六年是蛇年。”
"well done! it is good to see you working together! the goat is eighth, the monkey is ninth and rooster is tenth."
“幹得好!很高興看到你們齊心合力幹活!第八是羊，第九是猴子，第十是雞。”
“sorry i'm late. the water is clean and i needed a bath."
" the eleventh is the year of the dog."
"抱歉，我來晚了。河水很乾淨，我得洗個澡。”
“第十一年就是狗年。”
“you are the last."
"yes, i had to eat and sleep on the way."
"the last is the year of the pig."
and that is how the emperor chose the animals for chinese zodiac.
"你是最晚的。”
“是的，我得在路上吃個飯、再睡個覺。”
“最後一年就是豬年吧。”
玉皇大帝就是這麼排列中國的生肖的。
篇3
spring couplets, a chinese new year decoration, are an integral part of china's new year. their beginnings go back as far as the origins of new year's festivities.
春聯，是中國新年的裝飾，沒有春聯，春節就不完整。春聯的來歷就要說到新年的來歷
according to legends in the china's ancient past there was a monster known as nian who often came down from the mountains to eat livestock and locals. it was discovered that he was afraid of the color red and so red paper was placed around doors and windows of houses and poems for good luck were added to them. the houses with the red paper were avoided by the monster, so its inhabitants were spared. the tradition has continued until today.
根據中國古代歷史傳說中記載，有一個叫“年的”怪物經常從山上到村子裡吃牲畜。後來人們發現這個怪物怕洪澤，所以就在門上，窗戶上貼紅紙，紅紙上面還寫一些增加轉運的詩。這樣，怪獸害怕貼滿紅紙的屋子，所以這個風俗被流傳了下來，一直直到今天。
couplets are traditionally painted with black ink on two pieces of red paper which is then hung on either side of a door.
對聯傳統的來講是用黑墨在兩張紅紙上寫字，然後貼在門的兩側。
one half is hung on either side. there is an extra piece of paper painted with words of prosperity hung above the door frame. traditionally the couplets are poems consisting of two lines of either four or five characters. they are painted from top to bottom, right to left.
一邊貼張。另外還有一個橫批寫著意味繁榮之意之字貼在門框的上方。傳統的對聯，上聯合下聯是4個或5個字，是一對詩。寫對聯一般是從上到下，從右到左。
different couplets have different themes. for farmers the couplets are meant to bring bounty to them, whereas businessmen's couplets are meant to bring money. traditionally scholars would paint couplets and give them to their friends, relatives, and the public. many people choose to create their own couplets. many times door god or the character "fu"is added to doors along with the couplets.
不同的對聯有不同的主題。比如，給農民的對聯是帶來好收成，商人掙跟多錢。傳統學者會自己寫對聯贈予朋友或親人。許多人會自己設計屬於自己的對聯。門神和福字一般都是和對聯配套的貼在門上的。
