春節的習俗英語版

The most important festival in China is the Spring Festival. It is said that the Spring Festival evolved from an activity known as the Winter Sacrifice. It was a custom practiced by the people of primitive society.

據說春節源於原始社會中的人們在冬天舉行的'獻祭。

As the cold winter began to recede (退卻)and the warm spring was about to begin， the people of an entire clan gathered together. They brought out their bounty(恩惠) from hunting， fishing and the field. They thanked the gods for the blessings of nature， including the mountains， rivers， the sun ，moon and stars， They thanked their ancestors， then they shared and enjoyed the sumptuous (華麗的)bounty of the land， sea， air and fields as they ate， danced and sang heartily.

隨着冬季的過去和暖春的來臨，整個氏族的人聚在一起，拿出他們在狩獵，打魚，種地中得到的。他們感謝各種神，感謝祖先。人們吃着，唱着，跳着來進行這種紀念活動。

In the beginning， their activity had no fixed date. But usually it was held at the end of each winter. Gradually， through the years， it was celebrated at the end of the old year or the beginning of the new. With the changes and disintegration of primitive society， the form and content of the Winter Sacrifice also changed. Ultimately， it became a festival to bid farewell to the old year and welcome in the new year. So it came to be called the Spring Festival.

開始，他們的活動沒有固定日期。但通常在冬天結束的時候進行。漸漸的變成了在一年的結尾開頭之際舉行。伴隨着原始社會的瓦解，冬天獻祭的形式與內容也發生了變化。最終變成了一個辭舊迎新的節日。
