春节双语习俗盘点：大年初一串门走亲戚
Today is the 1st day of the 1st month in Lunar Calendar。
On the first day, the oldest and most senior members will be visited, the visits serve to strengthen family kinship。
This practice is called 拜年( bai nian, or wishing somebody a Happy New Year)。
The visitor will bring a small gift to the household which will be visited- usually two mandarin oranges, as the fruit symbolises gold, hence wealth and good fortune。
Giving oranges in pairs because of the preference of number two in Chinese culture as there is an idiom saying 好事成双( hao shi cheng shuang, good things come in pairs)。
Children or unmarried will receive 红包(hong bao, or red packet) from the senior。
The red colour of the envelope symbolises good luck and is supposed to ward off evil spirits。
It is traditional to put brand new notes inside red packets and also to avoid opening the packets in front of the relatives。
There is also the tradition of welcoming guests with tea and sweet treats, such as sugared fruits which are supposed to sweeten one’s upcoming year。
Sweets and fruits are served on a round tray - the form resembling togetherness and hence the tray is most commonly translated as the “Tray of Togetherness” (八宝盒，ba bao he)。
The sweets will be arranged in eight units, as the number eight symbolises luck as the Chinese word 8 (ba) sounds similar to prosperity (fa, 发)。
In addition, the fruit pomelo is always consumed at Chinese New Year as its Chinese name 柚(you) sounds exactly same to the word ‘to have’(有，you) in the language. This fruit signifies abundance in Chinese food symbolism。
春节双语习俗：大年初二媳妇回娘家
Today is the 2nd day of the 1st month in Lunar Calendar. 今天是大年初二。
On this day, married daughters usually go back to their own family to visit their parents, relatives and close friends. Traditionally, married daughters didn’t have the opportunity to visit their birth families frequently. 在这一天，已婚的女儿们会回娘家看望自己的父母，亲戚以及好友。传统来说，已婚的女儿没有很多看望自己家人的机会。
In old days, since married daughters are considered as outsider and no longer belonging to their parents family, they are not required to come back for reunion dinner on the New Year Eve or come back on the first day of the New Year. 在旧时代，人们认为“嫁出去的姑娘，泼出去的水”，所以他们一般不能在除夕或者大年初一回家吃团圆饭。
However as men and women are more equal now, people are not really following this custom. However, when visiting parents, married daughters are supposed to go with their husbands and present some simple gifts such as pineapple tarts. 但是，现在，男女平等，人们并不会十分较真的遵循着这样的习俗。然而，当看望父母时，已婚女子都应与自己的丈夫，带着一些糕点礼物上门，比如黄梨挞。
The pineapple tarts (黄梨挞，huang li ta)，as shown in my drawing, are small, bite-size pastries filled with or topped with pineapple jam. 黄梨挞，就像上图中展示的一样，是一种小巧的、一口一个的糕点，糕点一般填充着或者在上面覆盖着一层黄梨酱。
In South East Asia exists one form of Pineapple tart. Pineapple tarts are especially popular during Chinese New Year at South East Asia. 在东南亚，存在着一种黄梨挞。在中国新年的时候，这种黄梨挞在东南亚将变得十分受欢迎。
Pineapple is translated as ‘Ong Lai’(黄梨，huang li in Mandarin) in Hokkien. 用闽南语来说，“黄梨”被就是Ong Lai。(注：这里的黄梨也就是菠萝，台语称之王梨(?ng-lai)，台湾国语称为凤梨，新马一带称为黄梨，大陆及香港称作菠萝)
It sounds similar to the word of prosperity comes ( 旺来，wang lai). Pineapple is yellow which is a close colour to gold especially once the pineapple jam is cooked. “黄梨”听上去很像
是“旺来”，而黄梨也是黄色的，十分接近金色，特别当黄梨酱被烹调之后。
Gold means wealth and prosperity as well. In addition, Chinese people will have 馄饨(hun dun) or 云吞(yun tun, or wanton) as lunch for this day. 金色也寓意着财富与兴旺。另外在这一天吃午饭的时候，中国人也会吃馄饨或者说云吞。
Wonton is a special kind of dumplings which are normally served in soup. Wonton symbolises wealth and prosperity as its shape looks like silver ingot (元宝，yuan bao) which was the money used in ancient time。馄饨是一种特别的点心，一般是放在汤里的。馄饨代表着兴旺繁荣，因为它的形状长得很像银元宝，而元宝在古代则被当做货币使用。
春节双语习俗：大年初四迎接灶王爷
Today is the 4th day of the 1st month in Lunar Calendar. According to folklore, it is a god-send-off day on the 23rd of the 12th lunar month, and it is also a god welcoming day on the 4th day of the Chinese New Year. 今天是大年初四。遵循习俗，农历12月23日是送神日，而在大年初四，则被认为是一个请神的好日子。
The Kitchen God (灶王爷，zao wang ye, or 灶神zao shen) is said to report his work to the Jade Emperor (玉皇大帝，yu huang da di) commenting on human good and evil, until the 4th day of New Year to return back to the earth. 据说，灶王爷要将过去一年人类的善与恶汇报给玉皇大帝，直到大年初四才会重返人间。
Chinese folk saying goes: “Send-off early, welcome late”(送神早，接神迟. song shen zao, jie shen chi) so that the Kitchen God need to be sent off in the morning, while to welcome at about four o’clock in the afternoon. 中国俗语说：“送神早，接神迟。”，所以在清晨需要送走灶王爷，而在下午四点左右迎接灶王爷。
In the north area of China a legend also said that, on this day, Kitchen God would be down checking the household, therefore, it should be not away from home, and there is also a similar custom which forbids closing doors in case the god not able to get in。在中国北方有一个传说，在这一天，灶王爷会降临，检查家家户户，因此在这一天不应离家在外，同样也有一个习俗说，这一天不要关门，以防灶王爷无法进入家宅之中。
红包大战可以用red-envelope war/fight, battle of the red envelopes 表示，红包(red-envelope/ money in red envelop)俗称压岁钱(lucky/gift money)。电子红包(electronic red-envelope)近年迅速兴起，各互联网巨头为增加用户粘性，各施奇招，“红包大战”日趋白热化(turn white-hot)，红包渐成了一大网络迷因(Internet /online meme)。
春节期间，各互联网公司为吸引移动支付新用户(new mobile payment users)，发出逾70亿元的现金红包(cash-filled red envelopes)、购物券红包(coupon-filled red envelopes)。腾讯、阿里上演互相封杀戏码，以存在“安全问题”(security concerns)互相屏蔽链接。一位分析人士指出屏蔽竞争对手的服务(block competitors' services)，是为了防止对手挖走用户(prevent users from being poached)，成为一种常用策略(common strategy)。有专家指出，互相屏蔽服
务可能会导致不公平竞争(unfair competition)、损害消费者权益(jeopardize consumers' rights)。

中国传统节日和民俗简介(附英文)
中国传统节日Traditional Chinese holiday 中国的传统节庆膳食是节日必不可少的伴侣。例如，我国的端午节(the Dragon Boat Festival)是纪念古代诗人屈原的日子。那一天，人们通常要赛龙舟、吃粽子(zongzi)。中秋节是观赏满月的日子。圆圆的月亮象征着圆满，象征着家庭团聚。因此，中秋节(The Mid-autumn Festival)的特制食品是一种圆形的月饼。春节是中国的农历新年(the Chinese lunar New Year’s holiday)，除了常见的家禽和肉类之外，人们还要按各自的地方习俗烹制传统食物，如饺子和年糕。 Traditional Chinese holiday meals are indispensable on some festivals. For example, the Dragon Boat Festival is a day established in memory of the ancient poet Qu Yuan and people usually hold dragon boat races and eat zongzi on that day. The Mid-autumn Festival is an occasion for viewing the full moon. The round moon is a symbol for completeness and family reunion. The special food of the day is yuebing, a round cake known as the mooncake. The Spring Festival is the Chinese lunar New Year’s holiday. Besides the popular poultry and meat, people cook traditional food according to regional customs, for example, jiaozi, or boiled dumplings, and niangao, or the new year cake . 端午节The Duanwu Festival 端午节，又叫龙舟节，是为了纪念爱国诗人屈原。屈原是一位忠诚和受人敬仰的大臣,他给国家带来了和平和繁荣。但最后因为受到诽谤（vilify）而最终投河自尽。人们撑船到他自尽的地方，抛下粽子，希望鱼儿吃粽子，不要吃屈原的身躯。几千年来，端午节的特色在于吃粽子（glutinous dumplings）和赛龙舟，尤其是在一些河湖密布的南方省份。 The Duanwu Festival, also called the Dragon Boat Festival, is to commemorate the patriotic poet Qu Yuan. Qu Yuan was a loyal and highly esteemed minister, who brought peace and prosperity to the state but ended up drowning himself in a river as a result of being vilified. People got to the spot by boat and cast glutinous dumplings into the water, hoping that the fishes ate the dumplings instead of Qu Yuan’s body. For thousands of years, the festival has been marked by glutinous dumplings and dragon boat races, especially in the southern provinces where there are many rivers and lakes. 春节The Spring Festival 在我国，一年有很多节日，在这些节日中，我最喜欢春节。这不仅因为它是一年中最大的节日，更因为它是新一年的开始，给人们带来新的希望，也因为它是亲朋好友团聚的时刻。不管身在何方，人们总会在春节前回到家里准备过节。通常，我们会在除夕夜吃一顿丰盛的晚餐，之后家人团座一起，分享一年以来的生活以及新年计划。有的人则会玩游戏或者出去玩。大年初一，人们通常会早起，会与见到的人说吉祥话。孩子们会得到压岁钱。在接下来的几天里，人们会带上新年祝福互相串门拜年。总之，春节是一个欢聚一堂、供人享乐的日子。There are many festivals in China. Among them, I like the Spring Festival most. Not only because it’s the biggest festival in the year, but also because it’s a new beginning that brings hope to people and it’s time for family gathering. Before the festival, people come home no matter where they are. Usually, we have a big dinner on the New Year’s Eve. And then families sit together and share their lives or planes. Some will play games or hang out to have some fun. On the New Year’s Day, people get up early and say good words to anyone they meet. Children can get lucky money from relatives. In the following days, we will visit relative’s home and bring New Year’s wishes to them. In short, it’s a time for family gathering and all of us enjoy it. 元旦New Year's Day Today is the New Year’s Day. I have a three-day holiday, so I can go out have fun or stay at home
