重陽節英語作文:Double Ninth Festival
Double Ninth Festival
The 9th day of the 9th lunar month is the traditional Chongyang Festival, or Double Ninth Festival. It usually falls in October in the Gregorian calendar. In an ancient and mysterious book Yi Jing, or The Book of Changes, number "6" was thought to be of Yin character, meaning feminine or negative, while number "9" was thought to be Yang, meaning masculine or positive. So the number nine in both month and day create the Double Ninth Festival, or Chongyang Festival. Chong in Chinese means "double." Also, as double ninth was pronounced the same as the word to signify "forever", both are "Jiu Jiu," the Chinese ancestors considered it an auspicious day worth celebration. That's why ancient Chinese began to celebrate this festival long time ago.
The custom of ascending a height to avoid epidemics was passed down from long time ago. Therefore, the Double Ninth Festival is also called "Height Ascending Festival". The height people will reach is usually a mountain or a tower. Ancient literary figures have left many poems depicting the activity. Even today, people still swarm to famous or little known mountains on this day.
On this day, people will eat Double Ninth Gao (or Cake). In Chinese, gao (cake) has the same pronunciation with gao (height). People do so just to hope progress in everything they are engaged in. There is no fixed ways for the Double Ninth Cake, but super cakes will have as many as nine layers, looking like a tower.
The Double Ninth Festival is also a time when chrysanthemum blooms. China boasts diversified species of chrysanthemum and people have loved them since ancient times. So enjoying the flourishing chrysanthemum also becomes a key activity on this festival. Also, people will drink chrysanthemum wine. Women used to stick such a flower into their hair or hang its branches on windows or doors to avoid evilness.
In 1989, the Chinese government decided the Double Ninth Festival as Seniors' Day. Since then, all government units, organizations and streets communities will organize an autumn trip each year for those who have retired from their posts. At the waterside or on the mountains, the seniors will find themselves merged into nature. Younger generations will bring elder ones to suburban areas or send gifts to them on this day.
農曆九月九日,為傳統的重陽節。因為古老的《易經》中把“六”定為陰數,把“九”定為陽數,九月九日,日月並陽,兩九相重,故而叫重陽,也叫重九,古人認為是個值得慶賀的吉利日子,並且從很早就開始過此節日。
在古代,民間在重陽有登高的風俗,故重陽節又叫“登高節”。相傳此風俗始於東漢。唐代文人所寫的登高詩很多,大多是寫重陽節的習俗;杜甫的七律《登高》,就是寫重陽登高的名篇。登高所到之處,沒有劃一的規定,一般是登高山、登高塔。
在這一天,人們還有吃“重陽糕”的習俗。在漢語裏,“糕”與“高”同音,”,人們會用“吃糕”代替“登高”,祝願百事俱高。重陽糕又稱花糕、菊糕、五色糕,制無定法,較為隨意。最高的有九層,像一個塔。
重陽節正是一年的金秋時節,菊花盛開,民間還把農曆九月稱為“菊月”,在菊花傲霜怒放的重陽節裏,觀賞菊花成了節日的一項重要內容,當然,人們也會喝一些菊花酒。女人會把茱萸插在頭上或掛在門口,可以避難消災。
今天的重陽節,被賦予了新的含義,在1989年,我國把每年的九月九日定為老人節,傳統與現代巧妙地結合,成為尊老、敬老、愛老、助老的老年人的節日。全國各機關、團體、街道,往往都在此時組織從工作崗位上退下來的老人們秋遊賞景,或臨水玩樂,或登山健體,讓身心都沐浴在大自然的懷抱裏;不少家庭的晚輩也會攙扶着年老的長輩到郊外活動或為老人準備一些可口的飲食。
