1.中秋起源英文版 篇一
祭月早在秦汉以前就有了,当时主要在宫廷内进行。后来历代的帝王都沿袭这个仪式,每逢中秋节,必举行隆重的祭月仪式,现存北京的月坛,便是专门用于皇帝祭月的场所。八月十五相传是太阴娘娘月神的诞辰。在当天晚上,都会在屋外庭院摆设香案,案上放置香炉、烛台,燃烛焚香,用柚子、西瓜、月饼来敬奉月神,并且由妇女儿童负责祭拜(由于月亮属阴,所以一般来说,拜月只是妇女和儿童的活动,男子是不拜月的)。拜月时,全家成员齐集,以取团圆的意思。主祭的人是女家长,她先向神位上香,三叩首;然后其他女性按尊卑长幼行三叩首礼。
拜结束后,一家人围坐赏月一起喝“团圆酒”,吃“赏月饭”,尝“团圆饼”(即月饼)及爪果;从前,由于交通不便,故北方人拜月的水果多是各种梨子、苹果、石榴、葡萄、枣子、桃子、果藕、西瓜等。而南方盛产拜月的蔬果则有香蕉、柚子、杨桃、柿子、菱角、椰子、枇杷、佛手、菠萝、蜜桔、橙子、花生、芋头等。老人会指着月光,给儿童讲“嫦娥奔月、玉兔捣药、吴刚砍桂树”的故事。
而这天回娘家探亲的妇女,必须返回婆家团圆,民间有“宁留女一秋,不许过中秋”的俗谚,就反映了这个习俗。
祭月的习俗之所以在唐代以后迅速流行于民间,与唐明皇游月宫的传说有很密切的关系。《唐逸史》记载:鄂州人罗公远,俟候唐明皇在中秋夜赏月。看着玄宗目不转睛的一直望着明月,便邀请玄宗去游月宫。他取出一根拐子向着空中掷去,突然化为一条银色的大桥,他请玄宗一同上了大桥,差不多走了数十里远,觉得精光夺目,寒气逼人,才发现到达一座大宫殿前。罗公远说:这就是月宫了!玄宗见到有数百个仙女穿着素练宽衣,在广大的宫廷中跳舞,歌声嘹亮,音韵非常优美,便问说:“这是什么曲子?”罗公远回答说:“就叫霓裳羽衣曲”。玄宗牢牢记住那曲子的声调,回到宫中,立即命人依照他所记的声调,编成了一首《霓裳羽衣曲》。这就是《霓裳羽衣曲》的由来。此曲是唐代的一首著名的法曲,内容描写了唐玄宗上述到月宫见仙女的神话;所以中唐诗人白居易在元和年间看见当时宫廷里表演此曲时,舞者“不着人家俗衣服。虹裳霞帔步摇冠,钿缨累累佩珊珊”,俨然是一副天宫仙女的打扮。其舞姿也是“飘然转旋回雪轻,嫣然纵送游龙惊,小垂手后抑无力,斜曳裙时云欲生”,“烟蛾?略不胜态,风袖低昂如有情。上元点鬟招萼绿,王母挥袂别飞琼”(白居易《霓裳羽衣歌和微之》),看来其意境与月宫的神话极为吻合。
而佛教于中秋赏月之夜,礼拜的是“月光遍照菩萨”;月光遍照菩萨梵语candra_prabha,汉译有月光菩萨、月净菩萨、月光遍照菩萨等名。为东方净琉璃世界药师佛之右胁侍。“月光遍照”在佛法上表静定,映现明澈清辉,容摄大千芸芸众生,使免于受贪、_、痴、三毒逼恼。月光菩萨身呈白色,乘于鹅座,手持月轮。与左胁侍日光菩萨并为药师如来的两大辅佐。在药师佛的无量菩萨眷属里,他与日光菩萨是位居上首的最重要菩萨。两人都位居补处,秉持着药师如来的正法宝藏。
关于月光菩萨的本生事迹,也与日光菩萨相同,都与药师佛有密切的关系。在久远的过去世,当电光如来住世时,有一梵士养育两子,一名日照,一名月照。梵士发心利乐有情、拯救浊世众生,其二子也随喜而发愿供养。梵士成佛之后,即是药师琉璃光如来。二子中之月照,就是月光菩萨。如同日光菩萨一样,月光菩萨与观世音菩萨的《大悲咒》也有密切的关系。凡是至心持诵《大悲咒》的修行者,月光菩隆也会与无量神人来增益其持咒效验。修行者在持诵《大悲咒》过后,如果能再加诵《月光菩萨陀罗尼》(收在《大正藏》第20册660页),则月光菩萨当会来加庇护佑,使持咒者除去一切障难与病痛,并成就一切善法、远离各种怖畏。
因此为佛弟子者,际此中秋良心,应一心持咒、念并礼拜月光菩萨,自然能获佛菩萨加持垂护,净除烦恼及一切障碍,福慧增长,身心康泰,所求顺遂,事事吉祥!

2.中秋节的来历起源 篇二
中秋节起源于人们对月亮天体的崇拜。日月崇拜是原始宗教的重要内容之一,中国古代很早就有祭祀日月的宗教礼俗。日月这两大天体,分别为阴阳的代表,日月的正常运行是宇宙和谐的保证,因此古人很重视对日月的祭祀。
殷人已将日月分称东母与西母,周代依据日月的时间属性行朝日夕月的祭礼:“故作大事必顺天时,为朝夕必放(仿)于日月。”
春秋战国时日月神分别称为东皇公、西王母。沂南汉画像石中西王母与东王公分坐在柱状物上(有说是昆仑山),西王母两旁跪有捣药的玉兔。由此可知,郭璞《山海经图赞》“昆仑月精,水之灵府”的说法言之有据,后世的月神嫦娥即由西王母(最早名常羲)演变而来。
皇家垄断了祭月权
秦汉时期,日月祭祀仍为皇家礼制。此后北魏、隋唐以致明清历代都有秋分祭月的礼仪。现在北京的月坛公园就是明清祭月的坛场。
祭月在上古作为季节祭祀仪式列入皇家祀典、例行祭祀后,民间缺少了祭月的消息。这可能与古代社会的神权控制有关,在“绝地天通”之后,像日月这样的代表阴阳的天地大神,只有王家才能与之沟通,一般百姓自然是无缘祭享的。月亮对于平民来说,是一种外在的神秘的支配力量,无法接近它,祭祀它。因此华夏文化系统内民间祭月的习俗,在汉魏时期不见著录,更不用说出现以拜月为中心的节日。
中秋节最终成民俗节日
隋唐以后,随着天文知识的丰富与时代文化的进步,月亮的神圣色彩明显消褪。这时皇家也逐渐失去了对月神祭祀的独占权威。唐朝虽没有中秋节日,但中秋赏月玩月已成为文人的.时尚。古代传承下来的有关月神的神话,月宫中除了寂寞的嫦娥、蟾蜍、玉兔外,又添了一位被贬谪来的吴刚。月神已由原始的宇宙主神演化为具有道教色彩的神仙。
宋代中秋节已成为民俗节日,中秋放假一日,以赏月为中心。宋代中秋夜是不眠之夜,主管治安的官员还取消例行的宵禁。
3.英文作文儿童节的起源 篇三
The ICD had its origin in the World Conference for the Wellbeing of Children in Geneva, Switzerland in 1925. It is not clear as to why June 1 was chosen as the ICD: one theory has it that the Chinese consul-general in San Francisco (USA) gathered a number of Chinese orphans to celebrate the Dragon Boat Festival in 1925, which happened to be on June 1 that year, and also coincided with the conference in Geneva.
June 1 has since been observed as the ICD by numerous countries, especially by Communist countries; in the Western world the ICD is usually celebrated on other days of the year (if at all), and there is often little public awareness about these celebrations. (See the section on Germany below for further discussions.) Consequently there is sometimes a misperception that June 1 as the ICD was a Communist invention. Nonetheless, in recent years even some groups within the United States started observing the ICD on June 1.
1949年11月,国际民主妇女联合会在莫斯科举行理事会议,中国和各国代表愤怒地揭露了帝国主义分子和各国反动派残杀、毒害儿童的.罪行。为了保障世界各国儿童的生存权、保健权和受教育权,为了改善儿童的生活,会议决定以每年的6月1日为国际儿童节。
在此以前,世界上的许多国家就有儿童节。1925年,国际儿童幸福促进会倡议建立儿童纪念日,英国、美国、日本等国积极响应,先后建立了自己国家的儿童节,英国规定每年的7月14日为儿童节,美国规定5月1日为儿童节。日本的儿童节很特殊,分男女儿童节,男儿童节5月5日、女儿童节3月3日。我国在1931年也曾经规定4月4日为中国儿童节。

5.英文版中秋节介绍 篇五
“Zhong Qiu Jie”, which is also known as the Mid-Autumn Festival, is celebrated on the 15th day of the 8th month of the lunar calendar.It is a time for family members and loved ones to congregate and enjoy the full moon-an auspicious symbol of abundance, harmony and luck.Adults will usually indulge in fragrant mooncakes of many varieties with a good cup of piping hot Chinese tea, while the little ones run around with their brightly-lit lanterns.农历八月十五日是中国的传统节日——中秋节。在这天,每个家庭都团聚在一起,一家人共同观赏象征丰裕、和谐和幸运的圆月。此时,大人们吃着美味的月饼,品着热腾腾的香茗,而孩子们则在一旁拉着兔子灯尽情玩耍。
“Zhong Qiu Jie” probably began as a harvest festival.The festival was later given a mythological flavour with legends of Chang-E, the beautiful lady in the moon.中秋节最早可能是一个庆祝丰收的节日。后来,月宫里美丽的仙女嫦娥的神话故事赋予了它神话色彩。
According to Chinese mythology, the earth once had 10 suns circling over it.One day, all 10 suns appeared together, scorching the earth with their heat.The earth was saved when a strong archer, Hou Yi, succeeded in shooting down 9 of the suns.Yi stole the elixir of life to save the people from his tyrannical rule, but his wife, Chang-E drank it.Thus started the legend of the lady in the moon to whom young Chinese girls would pray at the Mid-Autumn Festival.传说古时候,天空曾有10个太阳。一天,这10个太阳同时出现,酷热难挡。弓箭手后翌射下了其中9个太阳,拯救了地球上的生灵。他偷了长生不死药,却被妻子嫦娥偷偷喝下。此后,每年中秋月圆之时,少女们都要向月宫仙女嫦娥祈福的传说便流传开来。
In the 14th century, the eating of mooncakes at “Zhong Qiu Jie” was given a new significance.The story goes that when Zhu Yuan Zhang was plotting to overthrow the Yuan Dynasty started by the Mongolians, the rebels hid their messages in the Mid-Autumn mooncakes.Zhong Qiu Jie is hence also a commemoration of the overthrow of the Mongolians by the Han people.在14世纪,中秋节吃月饼又被赋予了一层特殊的含义。传说在朱元璋带兵起义推翻元朝时,将士们曾把联络信藏在月饼里。因此,中秋节后来也成为汉人推翻蒙古人统治的纪念日。字串7 During the Yuan Dynasty(A.D.1206-1368)China was ruled by the Mongolian people.Leaders from the preceding Sung Dynasty(A.D.960-1279)were unhappy at submitting to foreign rule, and set how to coordinate the rebellion without it being discovered.The leaders of the rebellion, knowing that the Moon Festival was drawing near, ordered the making of special cakes.Packed into each mooncake was a message with the outline of the attack.On the night of the Moon Festival, the rebels successfully attacked and overthrew the government.What followed was the establishment of the Ming Dynasty(A.D.1368-1644).Today, moon cakes are eaten to commemorate this event.在元朝,蒙古人统治中国。前朝统治者们不甘心政权落入外族之手,于是密谋策划联合起义。正值中秋将近,起义首领就命令部下制作一种特别的月饼,把起义计划藏在每个月饼里。到中秋那天,起义军获取胜利,推翻了元朝,建立明朝。今天,人们吃月饼纪念此事。

The Mid-Autumn Festival falls on the 15th day of the 8th lunar month, usually in October in Gregorian calendar.
The festival has a long history. In ancient China, emperors followed the rite of offering sacrifices to the sun in spring and to the moon in autumn. Historical books of the Zhou Dynasty had had the word “Mid-Autumn”. Later aristocrats and literary figures helped expand the ceremony to common people. They enjoyed the full, bright moon on that day, worshipped it and expressed their thoughts and feelings under it. By the Tang Dynasty (618-907), the Mid-Autumn Festival had been fixed, which became even grander in the Song Dynasty (960-1279). In the Ming (1368-1644) and Qing (1644-1911) dynasties, it grew to be a major festival of China.
Folklore about the origin of the festival go like this: In remote antiquity, there were ten suns rising in the sky, which scorched all crops and drove people into dire poverty. A hero named Hou Yi was much worried about this, he ascended to the top of the Kunlun Mountain and, directing his superhuman strength to full extent, drew his extraordinary bow and shot down the nine superfluous suns one after another. He also ordered the last sun to rise and set according to time. For this reason, he was respected and loved by the people and lots of people of ideals and integrity came to him to learn martial arts from him. A person named Peng Meng lurked in them.

9.中秋节(中英文介绍) 篇九
每年农历八月十五日,是传统的中秋佳节。这时是一年秋季的中期,所以被称为中秋。
中秋节有悠久的历史,和其它传统节日一样,也是慢慢发展形成的,古代帝王有春天祭日,秋天祭月的礼制,早在《周礼》一书中,已有“中秋”一词的记载。后来贵族和文人学士也仿效起来,在中秋时节,对着天上又亮又圆一轮皓月,观赏祭拜,寄托情怀,这种习俗就这样传到民间,形成一个传统的活动,一直到了唐代,这种祭月的风俗更为人们重视,中秋节才成为固定的节日,《唐书·太宗记》记载有“八月十五中秋节”,这个节日盛行于宋朝,至明清时,已与元旦齐名,成为我国的主要节日之一。
相传,远古时候天上有十日同时出现,晒得庄稼枯死,民不聊生,一个名叫后羿的英雄,力大无穷,他同情受苦的百姓,登上昆仑山顶,运足神力,拉开神弓,一气射下九个多太阳,并严令最后一个太阳按时起落,为民造福。后羿因此受到百姓的尊敬和爱戴,不少志士慕名前来投师学艺,心术不正的蓬蒙也混了进来。
后羿有一个美丽的妻子叫“嫦娥”。一天,后羿到昆仑山访友求道,巧遇由此经过的王母娘娘,便向王母求得一包不死药。据说,服下此药,能即刻升天成仙。然而,后羿舍不得撇下妻子,只好暂时把不死药交给嫦娥珍藏。嫦娥将药藏进梳妆台的百宝匣里,不料被小人蓬蒙看见了。
一天,率众徒外出狩猎,蓬蒙手持宝剑闯入内宅后院,威逼嫦娥交出不死药。嫦娥知道自己不是蓬蒙的对手,危急之时她当机立断,转身打开百宝匣,拿出不死药一口吞了下去。嫦娥吞下药,身子立时飘离地面、冲出窗口,向天上飞去。蓬蒙便借机逃走了。
傍晚,后羿回到家,侍女们哭诉了白天发生的事。后羿气得捶胸顿足,悲痛欲绝,仰望着夜空呼唤爱妻的名字,这时他惊奇地发现,今天的月亮格外皎洁明亮,而且有个晃动的身影酷似嫦娥。他拼命朝月亮追去,可是他追三步,月亮退三步,他退三步,月亮进三步,无论怎样也追不到跟前。
后羿无可奈何,又思念妻子,只好派人到嫦娥喜爱的后花园里,摆上香案,放上她平时最爱吃的蜜食鲜果,遥祭在月宫里眷恋着自己的嫦娥。百姓们闻知嫦娥奔月成仙的消息后,纷纷在月下摆设香案,向善良的嫦娥祈求吉祥平安。
中秋节的习俗很多,形式也各不相同,但都寄托着人们对生活无限的热爱和对美好生活的向往。
在今天,中秋节的时候,人们都会吃月饼。月下游玩的习俗,已远没有旧时盛行。但设宴赏月仍很盛行,人们把酒问月,庆贺美好的生活,或祝远方的亲人健康快乐,和家人“千里共婵娟”。

10.母亲节起源与母亲节英文祝福语 篇十
母亲节的历史可以追溯到几百年前的古希腊,当时,人们都会举行庆祝活动纪念Rhea(瑞亚),古希腊的众神之母,她是主神宙斯和天后赫拉的母亲。早期的基督徒在大斋节后的第四个星期日来纪念Mary,基督的母亲。后来,宗教行为扩展成为一个为所有母亲设立的节日,并将其命名为“母亲节”(Mothering Sunday)。
1907年,美国费城教师,安娜米贾维斯(1864-1948),开始了一项在全国范围内纪念母亲的的节日,安娜米贾维斯荣誉日。她征求了数以百计的立法者和商界翘楚一起来创立一个特殊的日子来纪念母亲。第一个母亲节庆祝表彰是在一个教堂为安娜母亲举办的。安娜在仪式上发放了她母亲最喜爱的白色花朵,这是甜蜜,纯洁,耐心的化身。安娜的努力终于在1914年得到了回报,时任总统伍德罗威尔逊宣布将五月的第二个星期天作为母亲节。
三毛曾写过一篇《守望的天使》,文章说,每个人生命中最真最诚的天使是自己的父母,天使终其一生舍尽全力来为自己的孩子挡风遮雨。在犹太人的谚语里,也有一句类似的表述,而且更为精辟:God could not be everywhere and therefore be made mothers.母亲节来临之际,首先让我们了解母亲节来历,并用心写上最为朴实的祝福:母亲节快乐!
