Chinese culture- Start of Spring(Li chun)
2013年2月4日是立春。立春是一年中的第一个节气,一般在公历2月3日—5日之间。“立”是“开始”的意思,立春就是春季的开始。立春以后,气温回升,人们明显地感觉到白昼长了,太阳暖了。春耕大忙季节在全国大部分地区陆续开始。所以在中国传统习俗中,立春这一天既是一个节气,也是一个迎春的节日,会有很多庆贺、祭典的活动,至今民间仍保留着一些。例如有些村镇立春日举办“迎春会”,常由十多岁的少年扮成一个官老爷,身穿纸官服,头戴纸帽,脚蹬纸靴,骑着牛,前往祭祀坛,带领百姓祈祷,保佑风调雨顺,五谷丰登,沿途敲锣打鼓,放鞭炮以迎接春天的到来。有的地方则由一人手敲小锣鼓,唱着迎春的赞词,挨家挨户送上一张春牛图。送春牛图,意在催促提醒人们,一年之计在于春,要抓紧农时,莫误大好春光。 立春的食俗突出一个“咬”字,叫“咬春”。讲究吃春饼、吃春卷、嚼萝卜等。“春饼”比吃烤鸭的薄饼要大一些、有韧劲一些,里面卷有很多菜,如:各色酱肉、熏肉或者盐腌肉;多种炒菜,如菠菜、韭菜、豆芽菜、粉丝、鸡蛋等。“春卷”以薄饼为皮,多以猪肉、豆芽、韭菜、韭黄、粉丝等为馅,卷好了炸着来吃。“嚼萝卜”则是北京的风俗,尤其是被北京人称作“心里美”的萝卜,生嚼起来又脆又甜又有点辣,口感水灵,妇孺老幼都喜欢。从药理上讲,常食萝卜有助于软化血管,降血脂稳血压,还可解酒、理气,具有营养、健身、祛病等功效。中国人讲究“药食同源”、“按时令进补”,立春时节嚼萝卜的习俗,就具体地体现了这种思想。 Start of Spring February 4, 2013, is the day of start of spring. Start of spring is the first solar term. Normally it comes between February 3 and February 5 in the Gregorian calendar. Li (立) means “to … Continue reading
