【中国新年禁忌】：

Dos and Donts of Chinese New Year

Do“s:

Wish everyone you meet a happy New Year by saying ”gong xi fa cai“, which translates to: ”Have a happy and prosperous New Year!“ 对每一个你遇到的人道一声：“恭喜发财”,翻译成英文就是：“在新的一年里拥有幸福繁荣的生活”；

Wear articles of red clothing because red symbolizes luck.穿红色布料做成的饰品,因为红色昭示着幸运；

Eat vegetarian food because it”s not good to see blood.吃素食,因为见血是不吉利的；

Buy new trousers because the Chinese word for trousers is “fu”,(Chinese homonym for wealth)买新裤子（衣服）,因为汉语里裤子就是“服”,（在汉语里与财富的“富”谐音）；

Children should stay up as late as possible on New Year“s Eve for it is believed that the later they stay up, the longer their parents will live.孩子应该在除夕之夜尽可能晚睡、熬夜因为据说他们睡的越晚,他们的父母越长寿；

Visit family(especially those older than yourself)and friends to pass on your wishes on good fortune for the New Year.(plus kids and single people will receive lai-see lucky red packets full of money.拜访亲戚朋友（尤其是比你年长的）,传递你对他们来年幸福的美好祝愿（另外孩子和单身的人将会得到装满钱的幸运红包,称为“来喜”.）

Give two lai see to each child.Because happiness comes in two”s, do not just give one.This is your way of passing good luck to

the next generation.Business owners also give lai see to employees and associates.给每个孩子两份“来喜”（我觉得应该指钱是偶数的）,因为好事成双,不要只给一份.这是你把祝愿传递给下一代的方法.企业主（老板）也要给员工和同事红包.Don“ts:

Don”t wear white or black clothing, since they are the traditional colours of mourning.不要穿白色或黑色服装,因为这是传统意义上丧事的颜色；

Don“t buy new shoes for the first month of the New Year, because the sound of shoe in Chinese is ”hai“.”Hai

“ is similar to the sound of sighing, which Chinese believe is not a good way to start the year.不要在新年的第一个月买新鞋,因为在汉语里鞋的发音是“孩”（好像是四川地区的发音）, 它与叹息”唉“相近,中国人认为这不是新年伊始的好兆头.Don”t wash your hair for the first three days of the New Year, because the Chinese word for hair is a homonym for the Chinese word for wealth.Therefore, Chinese believe it isn“t a good thing to ”wash away your wealth“ right at the start of the New Year.在新年的前三天里不要洗头,因为汉语里“头发”的“发”和“发财”的“发”同音.因此,中国认为在新年伊始把财富给冲走可不是好兆头.Floors may not be swept and garbage may not be disposed of on the first day of the New Year for fear of casting riches out the door.在新年第一天,不拖地,不扔垃圾,因为怕把”财“给送走了；

Don”t swear or quarrel.不要诅咒发誓,也不愿吵架；

Don“t break any dishes, otherwise you may incur more misfortune for the New Year.In the event of breaking a dish, quickly say ”Peace for all time“, and the bad luck will be warded away.不要打破碗碟,否则在来年你可能会遭遇不幸.一旦打破了,要马上说“岁岁平安”,这样坏运气就会被赶走了；

Don”t greet people who are in mourning.不要向服丧期的人们问候（主要指不要说喜庆的话吧?）

第四篇：春节习俗

春节风俗——正月初八谷日/顺星

正月初八谷日/顺星[春节习俗]

谷日

传说初八是谷子的生日。这天天气晴朗，则主这一天稻谷丰收，天阴则年歉。

[顺星]

民间以正月初八为众星下界之日，制小灯燃而祭之，称为顺星，也称祭星、接星。祭祀用两张神码，第一张印着星科、朱雀、玄武等，第二张是本命延年寿星君。二张前后撂在一起，夹在神纸夹子上，放在院中夭地桌后方正中受祀。神码前陈放着用香油浸捻的黄、白二色灯花纸捻成的灯花，放入直径寸许的灯盏碗，或用49盏，或用108盏，点燃。再供熟元宵和清茶。黄昏后，以北斗为目标祭祀。祭祀后，待残灯将灭，将神码、香根与芝麻秸、松柏枝一同焚化，祀成。

第五篇：春节习俗

春节习俗

爆 竹

当午夜交正子时，新年钟声敲响，整个中华大地上空，爆竹声震响天宇。在这“岁之元、月之元、时之元”的“三元”时刻，有的地方还在庭院里垒“旺火”，以示旺气通天，兴隆繁盛。在熊熊燃烧的旺火周围，孩子们放爆竹，欢乐地活蹦乱跳，这时，屋内是通明的灯火，庭前是灿烂的火花，屋外是震天的响声，把除夕的热闹气氛推向了最高潮。历代的诗人墨客总是以最美好的诗句，赞颂新年的来临。王安石的《元日》诗： 爆竹声中一岁除，春风送暖人屠苏。千门万户瞳瞳日。总把新桃换旧符。

描绘了我国人民欢度春节盛大的喜庆情景，清代潘荣陛在《帝京岁时纪胜》一书中，对当时除夕爆竹作了如下记载：“除夕之次，子夜相交，门外宝炬争辉，玉珂竞响．而爆竹如击浪轰雷，遍乎朝野，彻夜不停。”《红楼梦》中也有描绘：“院子内安下屏架，将烟火设吊齐备，这烟火俱系各处进贡之物，虽不甚大．却极精致．各色故事俱全，夹着各色的花炮。说话之间．外面一色色的放了又放。又有许多'满天星'、'九龙入云'、'平地一声雷'、'飞天十响'之类的零星小炮仗。”从这也可以看到旧时新春燃放烟花的盛况。

爆竹声响是辞旧迎新的标志、喜庆心情的流露。经商人家．放爆竹还有另一番意义：他们在除夕之夜大放炮仗是为了新的一年大发大利。

大家放完爆竹回到屋里后的第一件事，就是拜天地、迎神、祭祀祖先。古时，这种礼俗很盛。因各地礼俗的不同，祭祖形式也各异，有的到野外瞻拜祖墓，有的到宗祠拜祖，而大多在家中将祖先牌位依次摆在正厅，陈列供品，然后祭拜者按长幼的顺序上香跪拜。南方人还在祭祖之后，查看历书上所载今年的吉利方向，燃灯笼火把，提壶挈酒，奉香鸣爆竹，开门出行，迎接喜神，称“出天方”或“出行”，浙江叫“出寻”，上海叫“兜喜神方”。此俗为趋吉、祈求神灵保佑一年百事顺遂。除夕守岁是整夜不睡、通宵达旦的。

春节早晨，开门大吉，先放爆竹，叫做“开门炮仗”。爆竹声后，碎红满地，灿若云锦，称为“满堂红”。这时满街瑞气，喜气洋洋。

春节期间，各街巷通衢里，大户人家悬灯结彩。街头巷尾，乡里材社，到处百艺杂陈，各献高技，热闹非凡乡间多延请戏班剧团演戏，还开展听道情、扭秧歌、唱花鼓及各式品种的娱乐嬉戏，也有舞狮子，耍龙灯等种种文体活动。人们欢天喜地，共庆新春

拜 年

拜年是中国民间的传统习俗，是人们辞旧迎新、相互表达美好祝愿的一种方式。古时“拜年”一词原有的含义是为长者拜贺新年，包括向长者叩头施礼、祝贺新年如意、问候生活安好等内容。遇有同辈亲友，也要施礼道贺。

拜年一般从家里开始。初一早晨，晚辈起床后，要先向长辈拜年，祝福长辈健康长寿，万事如意。长辈受拜以后，要将事先准备好的“压岁钱”分给晚辈。在给家中长辈拜完年以后，人们外出相遇时也要笑容满面地恭贺新年，互道“恭喜发财”、“四季如意”、“新年快乐”等吉祥的话语，左右邻居或亲朋好友亦相互登门拜年或相邀饮酒娱乐。宋人孟元老在《东京梦华录》卷六中描写北宋汴京时云：“十月一日年节，开封府放关扑三日，士庶自早相互庆贺。”明中叶陆容在《菽园杂记》卷五中说“京师元旦日，上自朝官，下至庶人，往来交错道路者连日，谓之'拜年'。然士庶人各拜其亲友多出实心。朝官往来，则多泛爱不专……”。清人顾铁卿在《清嘉录》中描写，“男女以次拜家长毕，主者率卑幼，出谒邻族戚友，或止遣子弟代贺，谓之'拜年'。至有终岁不相接者，此时亦互相往拜于门……。”
