　　翻譯：春節(jié)俗稱“年節(jié)”，是中華民族最隆重的傳 歡度春節(jié)統(tǒng)佳節(jié)。自漢武帝太初元年始，以夏年(農(nóng)歷)正月初一為“歲首”(即“年”)，年節(jié)的日期由此固定下來，延續(xù)至今。年節(jié)古稱“元旦”。1911年辛亥革命以后，開始采用公歷(陽歷)計年，遂稱公歷1月1日為“元旦”，稱農(nóng)歷正月初一為“春節(jié)”。 歲時節(jié)日，亦被稱為“傳統(tǒng)節(jié)日”。它們歷史悠久、流傳面廣，具有極大的普及性、群眾性、甚至全民性的特點。年節(jié)是除舊布新的日子。年節(jié)雖定在農(nóng)歷正月初一，但年節(jié)的活動卻并不止于正月初一這一天。從臘月二十三(或二十四日)小年節(jié)起，人們便開始“忙年”：掃房屋、洗頭沐浴、準備年節(jié)器具等等。所有這些活動，有一個共同的主題，即“辭舊迎新”。人們以盛大的儀式和熱情，迎接新年，迎接春天。

　　年節(jié)也是祭祝祈年的日子。古人謂谷子一熟為一“年”，五谷豐收為“大有年”。西周初年，即已出現(xiàn)了一年一度的慶祝豐收的活動。后來，祭天祈年成了年俗的主要內(nèi)容之一。而且，諸如灶神、門神、財神、喜神、井神等諸路神明，在年節(jié)期間，都備享人間香火。人們借此酬謝諸神過去的關照，并祈愿在新的一年中能得到更多的福佑。年節(jié)還是合家團圓、敦親祀祖的日子。除夕，全家歡聚一堂，吃罷“團年飯”，長輩給孩子們分發(fā)“壓歲錢”，一家人團坐“守歲”。元日子時交年時刻，鞭炮齊響，辭舊歲、迎新年的活動達于高潮。各家焚香致禮，敬天地、祭列祖，然后依次給尊長拜年，繼而同族親友互致祝賀。元日后，開始走親訪友，互送禮品，以慶新年。年節(jié)更是民眾娛樂狂歡的節(jié)日。元日以后，各種豐富多彩的娛樂活動競相開展：耍獅子、舞龍燈、扭秧歌、踩高蹺、雜耍諸戲等，為新春佳節(jié)增添了濃郁的 歡度春節(jié)喜慶氣氛。此時，正值“立春”前后，古時要舉行盛大的迎春儀式，鞭牛迎春，祈愿風調(diào)雨順、五谷豐收。各種社火活動到正月十五，再次形成高潮。

　　因此，集祈年、慶賀、娛樂為一體的盛典年節(jié)就成了中華民族最隆重的佳節(jié)。而時至今日，除祀神祭祖等活動比以往有所淡化以外，年節(jié)的主要習俗，都完好地得以繼承與發(fā)展。春節(jié)是中華民族文化的優(yōu)秀傳統(tǒng)的重要載體，它蘊含著中華民族文化的智慧和結晶，凝聚著華夏人民的生命追求和情感寄托，傳承著中國人的家庭倫理和社會倫理觀念。歷經(jīng)千百年的積淀，異彩紛呈的春節(jié)民俗，已形成底蘊深厚且獨具特色的春節(jié)文化。近年來，隨著物質生活水平的提高，人們對精神文化生活的需求迅速增長，對親情、友情、和諧、美滿的渴求更加強烈，春節(jié)等傳統(tǒng)節(jié)日越來越受到社會各界的重視和關注。要大力弘揚春節(jié)所凝結的優(yōu)秀傳統(tǒng)文化，突出辭舊迎新、祝福團圓平安、興旺發(fā)達的主題，努力營造家庭和睦、安定團結、歡樂祥和的喜慶氛圍，推動中華文化歷久彌新、不斷發(fā)展壯大。
