中西方部分节日介绍 春节
Spring Festival, also called Lunar New Year, is the most important festival celebrated by all Chi
nese around the world. The celebration lasts from 1st of January till 15th of January on the Lu
nar Calendar. As the beginning of the year, it symbolizes another fresh start in one's life, and hera
lds fresh hopes for happiness and prosperity. It is an import- ant time to reaffirm family ties
and reunion dinners, visitations among relatives and friends and exchange gifts – these ac
tivities serve to remind the Chinese of the central position of the family in the society.

*********** 感恩节
Thanksgiving Day is a national holiday in the United States. It is a day to commemorate the feast
held by the Pilgrim colonists and members of the native people at Plymouth in 1621. On this day
people express gratitude to God for his blessings and give thanks to dear ones for their love
& support. Feasting with family is a most delightful part of Thanksgiving Day celebrations and th
e typical food include roast turkey, mash potatoes, stuffing, pumpkin pie, corn, salad and etc.
************ 中秋节
The Mid-autumn Festival falls on the 15th day of the eighth lunar month. It is an occasion for fami
ly members to get together over moon-cakes, fruits and fine tea and have "moon appreciation" ses
sions. With its association with moon-cakes and lanterns, it is also called Moon-cake Festival.
It probably began as a harvest festival where Chinese agrarian communities celebrate and rejoice o
ver their harvest. 端午节
Dragon Boat Festival is a day to commemorate the Chinese patriot and poet, Qu Yuan. Falling on
the fifth day of the fifth lunar month, it is a day to remind oneself of one's duties and obligations
to the nation. Other than eating rice dumplings and participating in dragon boat races, this occasio
n ought to be used to commemorate the national patriots and to emphasize the importance of loyalt
y and commitment to the community.
愚人节
April Fools' Day or All Fools' Day, though not a holiday in its own right, is a notable day celebrate
d in many countries on April 1. The day is marked by the commission of hoaxes and other practica
l jokes of varying sophistication on friends, enemies and neighbours, or sending them on fools' err
ands, the aim of which is to embarrass the gullible. In some countries, April Fools' jokes (also call
ed "April Fools") are only made before noon on 1 April.[1]
The origin of this custom are complex and a matter of much debate. It is likely a relic of the once c
ommon festivities held on the vernal equinox, which began on the 25th of March, old New Year's
Day, and ended on the 2nd of April

西方国家节日趣谈

西方国家节日趣谈

西方国家节日趣谈一、愚人节愚人节也叫万愚节，是西方社会民间传统节日，节期在每年4月1日。

节日这天，不分男女老幼，可以互开玩笑、互相愚弄欺骗以换得娱乐。

较普遍的说法愚人节是起源于法国。

1564年，法国首先采用新改革的纪年法格里历(即目前通用的公历)，以1月1日为一年之始。

但一些因循守旧的人反对这种改革，依然按照旧历固执地在4月1日这一天送礼品，庆祝新年。

主张改革的人对这些守旧者的做法大加嘲弄。

聪明滑稽的人在4月1日就给他们送假礼品，邀请他们参加假招待会．并把上当受骗的保守分子称为“四月傻瓜”或“上钩的鱼”。

从此人们在4月1日便互相愚弄，成为法国流行的风俗。

18世纪初，愚人节习俗传到英国，接着又被英国的早期移民带到了美国。

起初，任何美国人都可以炮制骇人听闻的消息，而且不负丝毫的道德和法律责任，政府和司法部门也不会追究。

相反，谁编造的谎言最离奇、最能骗取人们相信，谁还会荣膺桂冠。

这种做法给社会带来不少混乱，因而引起人们的不满。

现在，人们在节日期间的愚弄欺骗已不再像过去那样离谱，而是以轻松欢乐为目的。

愚人节时，人们常常组织家庭聚会，用水仙花和雏菊把房间装饰一新。

典型的传统做法是布置假环境，可以把房间布置得像过圣诞节一样．也可以布置得像过新年一样，待客人来时，则祝贺他们“圣诞快乐”或“新年快乐”，令人感到别致有趣。

4月1日的鱼宴。

也是别开生面的。

参加鱼宴的请帖，通常是用纸板做成的彩色小鱼。

餐桌用绿、白两色装饰起来．中间放上鱼缸和小巧玲珑的钓鱼竿，每个钓竿上系一条绿色飘带，挂着送给客人的礼物或是一个精巧的赛璐珞鱼，或是一个装满糖果的鱼篮子。

不言而喻，鱼宴上所有的菜都是用鱼做成。

二、感恩节感恩节（Thanksgiving Day），美国和加拿大节日，由美国首创的，原意是为了感谢印第安人，后来人们常在这一天感谢他人。

是在每年10月31日。

感恩节的由来要一直追溯到美国历史的发端。

1620年，著名的“五月花号”船满载不堪忍受英国国内宗教迫害的清教徒102人到达美洲。
