關(guān)于重陽節(jié)怎么用英語簡介介紹
The 9th day of the 9th lunar month is the traditional Chongyang Festival, or Double Ninth Festival. It usually falls in October in the Gregorian calendar. In an ancient and mysterious book Yi Jing, or The Book of Changes, number "6" was thought to be of Yin character, meaning feminine or negative, while number "9" was thought to be Yang, meaning masculine or positive. So the number nine in both month and day create the Double Ninth Festival, or Chongyang Festival. Chong in Chinese means "double." Also, as double ninth was pronounced the same as the word to signify "forever", both are "Jiu Jiu," the Chinese ancestors considered it an auspicious day worth celebration. That's why ancient Chinese began to celebrate this festival long time ago.
農(nóng)歷九月九日，為傳統(tǒng)的重陽節(jié)。因?yàn)楣爬系摹兑捉?jīng)》中把“六”定為陰數(shù)，把“九”定為陽數(shù)，九月九日，日月并陽，兩九相重，故而叫重陽，也叫重九，古人認(rèn)為是個(gè)值得慶賀的吉利日子，并且從很早就開始過此節(jié)日。
The custom of ascending a height to avoid epidemics was passed down from long time ago. Therefore, the Double Ninth Festival is also called "Height Ascending Festival". The height people will reach is usually a mountain or a tower. Ancient literary figures have left many poems depicting the activity. Even today, people still swarm to famous or little known mountains on this day.
在古代，民間在重陽有登高的風(fēng)俗，故重陽節(jié)又叫“登高節(jié)”。相傳此風(fēng)俗始于東漢。唐代文人所寫的登高詩很多，大多是寫重陽節(jié)的習(xí)俗；杜甫的七律《登高》，就是寫重陽登高的名篇。登高所到之處，沒有劃一的規(guī)定，一般是登高山、登高塔。
On this day, people will eat Double Ninth Gao (or Cake). In Chinese, gao (cake) has the same pronunciation with gao (height). People do so just to hope progress in everything they are engaged in. There is no fixed ways for the Double Ninth Cake, but super cakes will have as many as nine layers, looking like a tower.
在這一天，人們還有吃“重陽糕”的習(xí)俗。在漢語里，“糕”與“高”同音，”，人們會(huì)用“吃糕”代替“登高”，祝愿百事俱高。重陽糕又稱花糕、菊糕、五色糕，制無定法，較為隨意。最高的有九層，像一個(gè)塔。
