• 冬至:Winter Solstice
“solstice”,表示“the time of either the longest day in the year (about June 22) or the shortest day in the year (about December 22)”。这么看来,这个词的用武之地似乎局限性很大了。基本上也就用在“Winter Solstice”(冬至)以及“Summer Solstice”(夏至)之处。
• 冬至这天有啥传统习俗?
Winter Solstice is a time for the family to get together. One activity that occurs during these get togethers (especially in the southern parts of China and in Chinese communities overseas) is the making and eating of Tangyuan or balls of glutinous rice, which symbolize reunion.
冬至是家族团聚的一天。在这天,中国南方的家庭会包汤圆、吃汤圆,以象征团圆的意思。不过在中国北方,似乎更多的人会吃饺子。比如说会有“冬至到,吃水饺”这样的谚语。
• 中国人为什么比较重视冬至?
其实,单从中国文化方面讲,“冬至”这个日子还可以翻译成“Dongzhi Festival”,中国人为什么都比较重视这个节气呢?
The origins of this festival can be traced back to the yin and yang philosophy of balance and harmony in the cosmos. After this celebration, there will be days with longer daylight hours and therefore an increase in positive energy flowing in.
原来还是和“阴阳”相关啊。人们认为,过了这一天,白昼一天比一天长了,是一个节气循环的开始,“阳”气逐渐回升,因此也算是个吉利的日子啦。
各地在冬至时有不同的风俗,北方地区有冬至宰羊、吃饺子、吃馄饨的习俗,南方地区在这一天则有吃冬至米团、冬至长线面的'习惯,而苏南人在冬至时吃大葱炒豆腐。
传统饮食——冬至是养生的大好时机,主要是因为"气始于冬至"。因为从冬季开始,生命活动开始由盛转衰,由动转静。此时科学养生有助于保证旺盛的精力而防早衰,达到延年益寿的目的。冬至时节饮食宜多样,谷、果、肉、蔬合理搭配,适当选用高钙食品。
