14、,whichreadsverywittyandhumorous.历史起源春联，起源于桃符(周代悬挂在大门两旁的长方形桃木板)。贴春联据（后汉书礼仪志）讲，桃符长六寸，宽三寸，桃木板上书“神荼、“郁垒二神。“正月一日，造桃符著户，名仙木，百鬼所畏。所以，清代（燕京时岁记）上讲：“春联者，即桃符也。五代时，西蜀的宫廷里，有人在桃符上提写联语。据（宋史蜀世家）讲：后蜀主孟昶令学士章逊题桃木板，“以其非工，自命笔题云：新年纳余庆，嘉节号长春，这便是我国的第一副春联。直到宋代，春联仍称“桃符。王安石的诗中就有“千门万户瞳瞳日，总把新桃换旧符之句。宋代，桃符由桃木板改为纸张，叫“春贴纸。明代：桃符才改称“

15、春联。明代陈云瞻（簪云楼杂话）中载：“春联之设，自明太祖始。帝都金陵，除夕前忽传旨：公卿士庶家门口须加春联一副,帝微行时出现。朱元璋不仅亲身微服出城，观赏笑乐，他还亲身题春联。他经过一户人家，见门上不曾贴春联，便去询问，知道这是一家阉猪的，还未请人代写。朱元璋就特地为那阉猪人写了“双手劈开生绝路，一刀割断是非根的春联。联意贴切、诙谐。经明太祖这一提倡，此后春联便沿习成为风俗，一直流传至今。春联典故据讲五代时的后蜀国国君孟昶是个喜欢标新立异的国君，在公元964年岁尾的除夕，他突发奇想，让他手下的一个叫辛寅逊的学士，在桃木板上写了两句话，作为桃符挂在他的住室的门框上。这两句话是“新年纳余庆，嘉节号

16、长春。第一句的大意是：新年享受着先代的遗泽。第二句的大意是：佳节预示着春意常在。由此开场，桃符的形式和内容都发生了变化，这不仅表如今开场用骈体联语来替代“神荼。关于春节的优秀英语美文：腊八节泡腊八蒜TheSpringFestivaleveryyeareatdumplings,wehavetohaveabottleLaBavinegarandthemotherLaBagarlic.Thatisluxuriantlygreencolor,steadyvinegarandsourgarlic,wouldgivetheSpringFestivaladdthickBeijingflavourofthed

21、ationforhisreturnonNewYearsEve.敬灶神的传讲：每年农历十二月二十四日，灶神上天，报告人间功过，定人祸福。因而，北方风俗于农历十二月二十三日晚上奉祀灶君，焚香祀送。南方风俗于农历十二月二十四日晚上奉祀灶君，焚香祀送。旧时亦有士绅家于二十三日送灶，百姓家二十四日送灶之别。奉祀灶君多用糖元宝、炒米糖、花生糖、芝麻糖和糯米团子之类，以冀塞住灶神之口，不讲人间罪恶，世称上天言好事，下界保平安。祭毕，即将奉祀经年的灶君旧纸马从灶上揭下，连同纸锭等一起焚化，以示灶神上天。除夕接神时，再行接灶神之礼，奉祀灶神后，再在灶上粘贴新的灶君纸马。关于祭灶礼仪祭灶的礼仪各地可能不同，大体上

22、来讲是如此规矩：祭灶时间：多数地区于农历十二月二十四日，少数地区为农历十二月二十三日，也有“官三民四的讲法。祭灶地点：厨房炉灶边祭灶供品：三牲(鸡、猪、鱼肉)、饴糖(麦芽糖)、清茶、水果、金纸等祭灶以麦芽糖塞住灶神之口，使其不讲人间罪恶，祭祀之人口称：“上天言好事，下界保平安。焚香祀送，祭毕，即将奉祀经年的灶君旧纸马画像从灶上揭下，连同金纸等一起焚化，以示灶神上天。祭灶的礼仪，在我看来是整个灶神传讲及祭祀风俗中最为精彩的部分，由于它充分体现出了中国人的神怪观念。神仙不仅是能够沟通和控制的，甚至是能够戏弄的。人们的娱神行为同时也是自娱，神仙在年节当前的时候不再是高高在上不食人间烟火的一个影子，而是与我们一同欢庆佳节的血脉相通的家人。祭祀活动在敬神行为的背后，是以强化家族观及民族观为目的，也许这就是中华民族星火相传、团结进取、生生不息的奥秘所在。
