春节传说之压岁钱

传说古时候有一种身黑手白的小妖叫“祟”，每逢大年三十的夜里都出来害小孩。他只要用那双惨白的手在熟睡的小孩额头摸三下，小孩子就会发高烧，讲呓语；等到几天后高烧退去，原本聪明伶俐的孩子就变得神志不清，呆头呆脑了！

人们害怕“祟”来伤害自己的孩子，就在这一天通宵灯火团坐不睡，“守祟”保护孩子。后来有一户姓管的人家老来得子，为了保护这来之不易的孩子，他们在这一晚就逼着孩子玩耍，用红纸包八枚铜钱，小孩拆了又包，一直到睡下。

但这夫妻俩可不敢睡，守在孩子身边。半夜狂风骤起，“祟”又来张狂而来，当它得意地准备用手去摸孩子的额头时，枕边突然裂出一道亮光，“祟”吓得魂飞魄散，仓惶而逃。

后来这对夫妇把“红纸包铜钱”的事告诉大伙儿，家家户户也就年年按照这样的方法防“祟”，小孩子们再没被伤害过。

据说这八枚铜钱是八仙变的，暗中保佑孩子平安。红包“压祟”的习俗也延传至今，因“岁”与“祟”谐音，“压祟”发展到现在也就自然叫做“压岁”了。

New Year's Money in the Legend of the Spring Festival

Legend has it that in ancient times, there was a kind of black-handed and white-handed demon called "Xuan", which came out every night on the 30th of the New Year to harm children. As long as he touched the sleeping child's forehead three times with his pale hands, the child would have a high fever and speak loud words; when the fever went away a few days later, the original bright child would become unconscious and dull!

People are afraid of hurting their children by "sneaking". On this day, they stay up all night and "guard sneaking" to protect their children. Later, a family with a family name came to have children. In order to protect the hard-won children, they forced them to play this night, wrapping eight copper coins in red paper. The children took apart and wrapped them until they fell asleep.

But the couple dare not sleep and stay with their children. In the middle of the night, when the wind burst, the "Yin" came again. When it was proudly ready to touch the child's forehead with its hands, a bright light burst out on the pillow. The "Yin" was frightened and fled in panic. Later, the couple told everyone about "copper money wrapped in red paper".

Every household followed this method every year to prevent "hidden", and the children were never hurt again.

It is said that the eight copper coins were changed by the Eight Immortals, secretly protecting the children's safety. The custom of "pressing the hidden" in red envelopes has also been passed down to this day. Because of the homonym of "age" and "hidden", the development of "pressing the hidden" is now naturally called "pressing the old".

春节的来历和传说英文

春节俗称“年节”，是中华民族最隆重的传 统佳节。自汉武帝太初元年始，以夏年(农历)正月初一为“岁首”，年节的日期由此固定下来，延续至今。下面我给大家带来春节的来历和传说英文，欢迎大家阅读。

春节的来历英文

Spring Festival is the most important holiday for Chinese people. Excitement and happiness are palpable this time of the year， and they reach the peak on lunar new year‘s eve.

春节对于中国人来说是最重要的节日。在每年的春节都让人兴高采烈，尤其是大年三十那晚，更是达到了高潮。

Though the 15-day period， which starts with the first day of the lunar new year and ends on the 15th day （known as Lantern Festival）， is relatively long， it is the busiest time of the year for Chinese people. The arrangements they have to make for family reunions， buying necessities and preparing food keeps them busy throughout the holiday. Many of them travel back home and meet friends over dinner and drinks. The celebrations include decorating the house and setting off fireworks.

春节历时15天，也就从大年初一开始，到元月十五元宵节结束。这段比较长的时间是中国人最忙的时候。他们为家庭聚会作安排，采购年货，准备丰盛的食物，以至于整个春节假期都忙忙碌碌的。许多人在春季期间都要回老家过年，跟朋友碰碰头，聚个餐。庆祝春节也包括大扫除和放烟火。

But we are talking about a tradition that seems to be fading.

但是我们现在要谈的是越来越淡的年味。

Spring Festival， as it is celebrated today， has undergone many changes， thanks to the country‘s economic development and globalization.

现在的春节已经因为我国经济的发展和全球化的影响而改变了很多。

Yet no Spring Festival is complete without food. People could not get good food whenever they desired in earlier times， something that does not apply to society today. More often than not， people faced the risk of famine. The best time for people to celebrate was when food was available in plenty， and that was possible in spring， or the beginning of the lunar new year. That was the main reason why Spring Festival acquired such great importance among Chinese people.

但是没有哪个春节是完全离得开“吃”的。从前，不论人们提前多久想要买年货，总是不能如愿，而现在早已今非昔比。过去常常还要闹饥荒。人们最好的庆祝时间就是他们能得到食物丰盛的时候，也就是春天或是元月初的那段时间。那也是为什么春节对于中国人如此重要的主要原因。

But three decades of economic growth has ensured that people in China， except for those who are still poor， can enjoy a good meal whenever they want. Such has been the change in people‘s fortune that some have to be treated for obesity and other health problems associated with excessive eating.

但是三十年来的`经济发展已经让中国人，除了那些仍然穷苦的人以外，随时都能享受美食。这得益于人民财富的增长，但是后者也导致一些人吃得太多而受到肥胖威胁和健康问题。

In the past， celebrations were limited to events like song-and-dance duets in North China， dragon/lion dances in South China and fireworks， which required the joint efforts of the entire community. But economic development and urbanization seems to have weakened the social links among people. Many， especially those living in cities， are not interested in celebrating the festival with people they hardly know.

在过去，庆祝春节还只停留在北方的二人转和南方的舞龙舞狮等形式。那些庆祝活动往往需要许多人合力才能办得起来。但是经济的发展和国际化程度的提升似乎已经将这种社会联系弱化了。许多人，特别是城市居民，不太愿意与不相识的人一起共度春节。

Many customs associated with Spring Festival have changed， too. In the past， people used to visit relatives and friends with gifts and lots of good wishes. Today， many people， especially the youth， use their cell phones or the Internet to send their good wishes and even "gifts" to their relatives and friends. Some may say this a sign that people have become less caring about their near and dear ones， but we should see this development as a time- and energy-saving exercise granted by the information age.

与春节相关的许多习俗也被改变了。在过去，人们常常会带着礼物走亲访友，互道祝福。今天许多人，特别是年轻人，用手机或是网络向亲朋好友发去“礼物”和祝福。有些人或许会说，这说明人们已经没有那么关心至爱亲朋了，但是我们应该把这种变化看作信息化时代省钱省力的好办法。

In recent times， many people have started praying for a career promotion or more money instead of invoking God or the Buddha for a healthy and long life and the welfare of their family. But the number of such people is decreasing now， which shows that people are becoming more reasonable.

最近几年，许多人开始祈祷事业高升，财源滚滚，而不是求神拜佛，他们身体健康，长命百岁，家庭美满。但是这样的人数现在正在减少，说明人们开始变得更加理性。

半夜时分，“年”闯进村。它发现村里气氛与往年不同：村东头老婆婆家，门贴大红纸，屋内烛火通明。“年”浑身一抖，怪叫了一声。将近门口时，院内突然传来“噼里啪啦”的炸响声，“年”浑身战栗，再不敢往前凑了。原来，“年”最怕红色、火光和炸响。这时，婆婆的家门打开，只见院内一位身披红袍的老人在哈哈大笑。“年”大惊失色，狼狈逃蹿了。 第二天是正月初一，避难回来的人们见村里安然无恙，十分惊奇。这时，老婆婆才恍然大悟，赶忙向乡亲们述说了乞讨老人的许诺。这件事很快在周围村里传开了，人们都知道了驱赶“年”的办法。
