　　篇二：元旦的来历 中英文

　　元旦的来历 中英文

　　中国元旦

　　中国元旦历来指的是农历正月初一。元是“初”、“始”的意思，旦 欢度元旦

　　指“日子”，元旦合称即是“初始的日子”，也就是一年的第一天。在汉语各地语言中有不同叫法，有叫“大年初 一”的，有叫“大天初一”的，有叫“年初一”的，一般又叫“正月初一”。元旦，《书·舜典》中叫“元日”，汉代崔瑗《三子钗铭》中叫“元正”；晋代庾阐《扬都赋》中称作“元辰”；北齐时的一篇《元会大享歌皇夏辞》中呼为“元 春”；唐德宗李适《元日退朝观军仗归营》诗中谓之“元朔”。 我国历代元旦的月日并不一致。夏代在正月初一，商代在十二月初一，周代在十一月初一，秦始皇统一六国后，又以十月初一日为元旦，自此历代相沿未改（《史 记》）。汉武帝太初元年时，司马迁创立了“太初历”，这才又以正月初一为元旦，和夏代规定一样，所以又称“夏历”，一直沿用到辛亥革命。中华民国建立，孙 中山为了“行夏正，所以顺农时；从西历，所以便统计”，定正月初一（元旦）为春节，而以西历（公历）1月1日为新年。在当代，元旦指公元纪年的岁首第2天。自西历传入我国以后，元旦一词便专用于新年，传统的旧历年则称春节。 公元1911年，孙中山领导的辛亥革命，推翻了满清的统治，建立了中华民国。各省都督代表在南京开会，决定使用公历，把农历的正月初一叫做“春节”，把公 历的1月1日叫做“元旦”。不过当时并未正式公布和命名。 为了“行夏正，所以顺农时，从西历，所以便统计”，民国元年决定使用公历（实际使用是1912年），并规定阳历（公历）1月1日为“新年”，但并不叫“元 旦”。今天所说的“元旦”，是新中国成立前夕的公元1949年9月27日，中国人民政治协商会议第一届全体会议决议：“中华人民共和国纪年采用公元纪年法”，即 是我们所说的阳历，为了区别农历和阳历两个新年，又鉴于农历二十四节气中的“立春”恰在农历新年的前后，因此便把农历正月初一改称为“春节”，阳历一月一 日定为“元旦”，至此，元旦才成为全国人民的欢乐节日。

　　编辑本段元旦起源

　　元旦

　　古代中国的元旦日，并非如今通用的“格列历”——公历的1月1日。从殷代定农历十二月初一为岁首，到汉代定在 农历正月初一为岁首，曾有多次反反复复的改变。到民国时孙中山于1912年1月初在南京就任临时大总统时为“顺农时”、“便统计”，定农历正月初一为春 节，改公历1月1日称为岁首“新年”，但仍称“元旦”。直到解放后中央人民政府颁布统一使用“全国年节和纪念日放假办法”，将公历1月1日规定为元旦节， 并决定全国在此节放假一天。同时为区别农历和公历两个新年，又鉴于农历二十四个节气中的“立春”，恰在农历新年前后，因此改农历正月初一称为“春 节”。“元旦”的“元”，指开始，是第一的意思，凡数之始称为“元”；“旦”，象形字，上面的“日”代表太阳，下面的“一”代表地平线。“旦”即太阳从地平线上 冉冉升起，象征一日的开始。人们把“元”和“旦”两个字结合起来，就引申为新年开始的第一天。元旦又称“三元”，即岁之元、月之元、时之元。元旦一词最早 始于三皇五帝，唐房玄龄等人写的《晋书》上载:“颛帝以孟春正月为元，其时正朔元旦之春。”即把正月称为元，初一为旦。南朝梁人兰子云的《介雅》诗也云: “四气新元旦，万寿初今朝。”还有个传说，是在4000多年前远古的尧舜盛世之时，尧天子在位时勤政于民为百姓办了很多好事，很受广大百姓爱戴，但因其子无才不太成器，他没把“天子” 的皇位传给自己的儿子，而是传给了品德才能兼备的舜。尧对舜说:“你今后一定要把帝位传交好，待我死后也可安心瞑目了。”后来舜把帝位传给了治洪水有功的 禹，禹亦像舜那样亲民爱民为百姓做了很多好事，都十分受人爱戴。后来人们把尧死后，舜帝祭祀天地和先帝尧的那一天，当作一年的开始之日，把正月初一称为 “元旦”，或“元正”，这就是古代的元旦。历代皇朝都在元旦举行庆贺典仪祈祀等活动，如祭诸神祭先祖，写门对挂春联，书写福字、舞龙灯，民间也逐渐形成祭 神佛、祭祖先、贴春联、放鞭炮、守岁、吃团圆饭以及众多的“社火”等娱乐欢庆活动。晋代诗人辛兰曾有《元正》诗:“元正启令节，嘉庆肇自兹。咸奏万年觞， 小大同悦熙。”记述元旦庆贺情景。在民国以后虽然定1月1日为新年，当时只有机关、学校以及外国经营的洋行大商号等才放假1天，老百姓并不承认，仍延承古时旧习以农历初一为新年，因此老北 京的街市上与民间均没有什么欢庆活动。解放后将1月1日岁首改称为“元旦”节后，政府仍按照几千年来使用的农历历法按农时节令，在立春前后冬闲时期的“春 节”放假三天，民间办“庙会”等欢庆，传承百姓的心愿和千百年的民俗。
