重陽節簡介英文版

　　重陽節,又稱重九節、“踏秋”,漢族傳統節日。你知道嗎?相信不少人都不是很清楚吧，下面小編就給大家介紹，感興趣的一起來看看吧!

　　The "Chong Yang Festival" is celebrated on the ninth day of the ninth lunar month, and it is as such known as the Double Ninth Festival.

　　Origins: The festival began as early as the Warring States Period ***475 - 221 BC***. According to the yin/yang dichotomy that forms a basis to the Chinese world view, yin represents the elements of darkness and yang represents life and brightness. The number nine is regarded as yang. The ninth day of the ninth month is a double yang day, hence the name "Chong Yang Festival". ***Chong means "repeat" in Chinese.*** The ninth month also heralds the approach of winter. It is a time when the living need warm clothing, and filial Chinese sons and daughters extended this to make the festival a time for providing winter clothes for their ancestors. The Double Ninth Festival, therefore, also became an occasion to visit the graves of dead family members. Clothes made of paper would then be burnt as offerings.

　　Climbing mountains: On the Double Ninth Festival, people customarily climb mountains, appreciate chrysanthemum flowers, drink chrysanthemum wine, and eat double-ninth cakes. The Double Ninth Festival is also the "Old Men Festival". Old people are especially meant to improve their health by taking part in the activities on the day of the festival.

　　Family get-togethers: The Double Ninth Festival is also a time for family get-togethers. It is an occasion to remember one's ancestors, the sacrifices they made and the hardships they underwent. Often, family outings are organised during which people search to renew their appreciation of nature and to reaffirm their love and concern for family members and close friends.

　　重陽節的起源

　　漢代，過重陽節的習俗漸漸流行。相傳漢高祖劉邦的妃子戚夫人遭到呂后的謀害，其身前一位侍女賈氏被逐出宮，嫁與貧民為妻。賈氏便把重陽的活動帶到了民間。賈氏對人說：在皇宮中，每年九月初九，都要佩茱萸、食篷餌、飲菊花酒，以求長壽。從此重陽的風俗便在民間傳開了。

　　“重陽節”名稱見於記載卻在三國時代。據曹丕《九日與鍾繇書》中載：“歲往月來，忽復九月九日。九為陽數，而日月並應，俗嘉其名，以為宜於長久，故以享宴高會。”

　　晉代文人陶淵明在《九日閒居》詩序文中說：“餘閒居，愛重九之名。秋菊盈園，而持醪靡由，空服九華，寄懷於言”。這裡同時提到菊花和酒。魏晉時期有了賞菊、飲酒的習俗。

　　唐朝時，重陽節才被定為正式節日。從此以後，宮廷、民間一起慶祝重陽節，並且在節日期間進行各種各樣的活動。

　　宋代，重陽節更為熱鬧，《東京夢華錄》曾記載了北宋時重陽節的盛況。《武林舊事》也記載南宋宮廷“於八日作重九排當”，以待翌日隆重遊樂一番。

　　明代，皇宮中宦官宮妃從初一時就開始一起吃花糕慶祝。九日重陽，皇帝還要親自到萬歲山登高覽勝，以暢秋志。

　　清代，明代的風俗依舊盛行。
