当春节的热闹即将淡去 解救年后综合症的 就是元宵那一碗热气腾腾的思念了  正月十五元宵节啦 HappyLanternFestival！ 其实元宵节在古代是放假的哦 明朝放假甚至达十日之久，举国上下饮酒作乐 就算夜巡官吏都不准打扰大家的雅兴 如今……米姐只想说 一切不放假的节日都是耍流氓！  元宵节，又称为“上元节”、上元佳节、小正月、元夕，是春节之后的第一个重要节日。和春节直译成the Spring Festival不一样，元宵节并不是直接音译Yuanxiao Festival 或者 rice glue ball、The 15th day of the 1st lunar month（正月十五），而是翻译成Lantern Festival。是的，灯笼节~可不是嘛，元宵节的重头戏就是上街赏花灯啊。 The 15th day of the 1st lunar month is the Chinese Lantern Festival because the first lunar month is called yuan-month and in the ancient times people called night Xiao. The 15th day is the first night to see a full moon. So the day is also called Yuan Xiao Festival in China.  元宵节常用词语的英文说法 the Lantern Festival 元宵节 rice glue ball 元宵 glutinous rice 糯米 lion / dragon dance 舞龙/舞狮 guess lantern riddles 猜灯谜 play couplets game 对对联 enjoy beautiful lanterns 赏花灯 snuff 灯花 exhibit of lanterns 灯会 dragon lantern dancing 耍龙灯 walking on stilts 踩高跷 land boat dancing 划旱船 yangko/yangge dance 扭秧歌 fireworks party 焰火大会 traditional opera 戏曲 variety showaudeville 杂耍 Lantern Festival's temple fair 元宵庙会 colored lanterns' temple fair 彩灯庙会 你所不知道的元宵节 其实，元宵节在古代才是真正的情人节，而不是大家认为的七夕。 旧时年轻女孩不允许出外自由活动，但是过节却可以结伴出来游玩，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。欧阳修《生查子》云：“去年元夜时，花市灯如昼;月上柳梢头，人约黄昏后。”辛弃疾《青玉案》词的后半段：“众里寻它千百度。蓦然回首，那人却在灯火阑珊处。”就是描述元宵夜情人相见的情境。  The Lantern Festival is also known as the Chinese Valentine's Day in the past. In the old times, young girls were usually not allowed to go out. The festival was a good chance for girls going out in the evening to find love when watching lanterns. And it was also a good day for lovers to meet. But now it has no such meanings in most part of China. While in Hong Kong, it is now commercialized as the Valentine's Day. 一见钟情的英文： once/see/fall in love to fall in love very suddenly Love at first sight  歪果仁过不过元宵节 韩国这样过元宵 How do the Koreans celebrate Jeongwol Daeboreum (Great Full Moon Festival)? 韩国没有元宵节的说法，正月十五叫“正月大望日”，意为“望满月”。 “Jeongwol” (??) literally means “first lunar month” and “Daeboreum” (???) literally means “great full moon”. It falls on the 15th day of the first month of the lunar calendar and it is believed that the moon on this day is the brightest in the year. Jeongwol Daeboreum is an important day for Koreans who celebrate it with various interesting rituals and games to wish for good luck and health throughout the year. There are also Jeongwol Daeboreum festivals held throughout South Korea in which both Koreans and foreigners can participate.  和中国不同，他们在这一天并不吃元宵，而吃混合糯米、高粱米、红小豆、黄米、黑豆等杂粮做成的五谷饭，吃各式各样的坚果，花生、核桃、松仁、栗子、银杏等等，据说可以使牙齿更坚固，还能防治疔疮等皮肤病。 For breakfast, Koreans eat seasoned vegetables dishes (e.g., punpkin, eggplants and mushrooms) and “Ogokbap” (??? – “five-grain rice”) which is a cooked dish containing five types of grain (i.e., glutinous rice, black bean, glutinous African millet, sweet red bean and glutinous millet). It is believed that sharing the seasoned vegetable dishes and Ogokbap with at least three neighbours brings good luck throughout the year.  此外，还要喝“清耳酒”，祈愿新年不患耳疾，而且一年到头听到的都是好消息。 On the other hand, Koreans drink the “gwibalgisul” (???? – “ear-sharpening wine”) which is made of cheongju (a type of cold, clear and strained rice wine) to get the blessing of hearing good news throughout the year.  韩国农村还保留着一些正月十五的传统庆祝活动。如“烧月亮屋”，用树干或竹子搭成圆锥形的屋架，挂上写着新年愿望的纸条，圆月升起之后，人们用手中的火把点燃“月亮屋”，围着火堆欢歌起舞。  Daljip is a “moon house” made up of a huge heap of straw or twigs with a door to the east for the moon to enter when it rises. Koreans also attach written notes of good wishes for the year to the daljip. When the full moon rises, the daljip is set on fire to ward off misfortune and bring good luck. It is also believed that the way in which the daljip burns foretells how the year’s crop will turn out – if the daljip burns steadily and doesn’t fall apart, then there will be a good harvest; if the daljip falls apart or is blown away, then there will be a bad harvest. You can watch this video regarding the burning daljip ceremony.  相关词汇： ritual n. （宗教等的）仪式; 例行公事，典礼 participate vi.参加某事;分享某事 glutinous adj.粘;黏的，胶质的 foretell vt.预言，预示 新加坡这样过元宵 东南亚不少国家的华人比例都很大，因此这些地方的华人都保持了中国南方地区的习俗。在元宵节这个华人的传统节日，当地华人的过年习俗在保持各自传统的同时经过和当地文化的融合发展，形成了富有特色的过年习俗。新加坡福建会馆几年前就开始在元宵节举办热闹的“踩街”活动，活动上会表演精彩的武术、舞狮和演奏南音。 From the rhythmic beat of the drums to the jaw-dropping stunts, there’s just something about the lion dance that evokes a sense of awe and majesty. Steeped in tradition and culture, the lion dance has gained popularity across the globe over the years and is now an internationally recognised sport.The lively, noisy lion dance is a fixture during Chinese New Year celebrations in South-east Asia, with many troupes making their way to shopping malls, offices and other public spaces to perform. Having a lion grace your premises, and presenting it with red packets filled with money, is said to bring you luck for the rest of the year.  Nanyin (南音) is an ancient Chinese music art form that has been transmitted from the Han dynasty to present times. Nanyin began as the palace music of the Han court and went through various stages of development incorporating musical norms of subsequent periods. 为了不了解舞狮文化的歪果仁，新加坡舞狮会还专门组了有趣的插图，帮助我们欣赏这个古老的传统和艺术形式（比如舞狮子里面是2个人在操作、不要摸狮子屁股…等等）。 马来西亚这样过元宵 元宵节是马来西亚华裔重大的传统节日之一，其“抛柑接蕉”的习俗热闹浪漫、别具一格。。起初是青年男子向海中抛苹果，期盼早娶贤妻，姑娘则抛柑橘，希望觅得如意郎君，后来逐渐演变成女抛柑橘、男掷香蕉。 单身男女在柑橘或香蕉上写下自己的姓名和联系方式，然后抛入水中，希望获得月下老人的协助，希望用这个方式让自己“捞到”一个好姻缘。 In Malaysia, the Lantern Festival signifies the end of the harvest season and is essentially a Chinese festival.
