中國元旦習俗
元旦是慶賀新年的開始,歡度元旦可說是世界各國各地區(qū)的元旦節(jié)的習俗。在我國,元旦節(jié)還列入了法定假日。我國和世界上大多 數(shù)國家、地區(qū)采用公歷紀年法,把 1月1日定為新年的開始,稱作“元旦”。我國對元旦節(jié)不如新年重視,所以一般中國元旦節(jié)的習俗就是張貼“歡度元旦”。
由于元旦是在民國年間才誕生的,并是由春節(jié)演化而來,所以,在中國剛剛開始慶祝元旦時,其慶祝的風俗習慣當然大都是類似于春節(jié),或者說是春節(jié)的縮小版。畢竟元旦不是我國的傳統(tǒng)節(jié)日,雖然沿用了部分傳統(tǒng)的慶祝方式:如燃放炮竹、殺三生、敬鬼神、拜祭先人等,但在人們的心目中卻并不見的會占用多么重要的地位。到了現(xiàn)代,元旦的慶祝習俗就更簡單了。
元旦的慶祝方式一: 全中國甚至是全世界都知道的,很多國家都把元旦頂為法頂節(jié)日,在元旦這天放假。新中國成立后,也規(guī)定元旦為法定節(jié)日放假一天。
元旦的慶祝方式二: 現(xiàn)在比較普遍的就是由團體組織的活動,如元旦聯(lián)歡會、掛慶祝元旦的標語、或舉行集體活動等,以前就有組織敲鑼打鼓、集體跳民族舞的,現(xiàn)在在電視記錄片上還能看到,到科技發(fā)展的今天,就演變?yōu)槁?lián)歡晚會什么的了。近年更是有旅游、聚會等節(jié)目,反正元旦這天并沒有太多的傳統(tǒng),在這一天假期了就任人發(fā)揮了。甚至,元旦這天對年輕一代來說只意味著一天的假期。
元旦的慶祝方式三: 保留著中國傳統(tǒng)的慶祝方式就是在以民間了,尤其是在農(nóng)村。每到元旦,家家戶戶都會燃放炮竹,殺雞宰鵝的,拜祭過各方神靈后就是一家人團聚一餐。至于更為濃重的慶祝方式暫時還沒見過。
現(xiàn)代中國的元旦,根據(jù)中國政府將其列入法定假日,成為全國人民的節(jié)日。放假一天,后常常將當日前或后雙休日調(diào)整,一般連續(xù)休息三天。現(xiàn)代中國對元旦的慶祝較之春節(jié),重要性要小得多。一般機關(guān)、企業(yè)會舉行年終集體慶;顒,但民間活動很少。
