　　元旦的起源

　　The origin of New Year's Day

　　在公元前5000年左右，古埃及人已由游牧改为农耕，定居在尼罗河两岸，他们的农业收成与尼罗河是否泛滥有很大关系，古埃及人从长期的观察中发现，尼罗河泛滥的时间是有规律的，他们就把这个时间每次都记录在竹竿上，从中得知两次泛滥时伺之间大约相隔365天，同时还发现，当尼罗河初涨的潮头来到今天开罗城附近的时候，也正好是太阳与天狼星同时从地平线上升起的时候。于是，古埃及人便把这一天定为一年的开始，这便是元旦的由来。

　　Around 5000 BC, the ancient Egyptians had changed from nomadic farming to farming, and settled on both sides of the Nile. Their agricultural harvest had a lot to do with the flooding of the Nile. The ancient Egyptians discovered from a long-term observation that the time of the Nile flooding was On a regular basis, they recorded this time on the bamboo raft every time, and learned that the two floods were about 365 days apart, and found that when the Nile River began to rise, it came to today’s Cairo city. It is also the time when the Sun and Sirius rise from the horizon at the same time. Thus, the ancient Egyptians set this day as the beginning of the year, which is the origin of New Year's Day.

　　传说在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。

　　Legend has it that at the time of the ancient dynasty of more than 4,000 years ago, when the Emperor of Heaven was in office, he worked diligently and in the people to do a lot of good things for the people. He was loved by the general public, but he did not take it because he had no talent. The throne of the throne was passed on to his son, but to the embarrassment that both morality and morality can be combined. He said to him: "You must hand over the emperor in the future, and you can feel at ease after I die." Later, he passed the emperor to the shackles of the flood control, and he also loved the people like the monks. A lot of good things are very popular. Later, after the death of the Emperor, the day when the Emperor sacrificed the heavens and the earth and the emperor, as the beginning of the year, the first day of the first month was called "New Year's Day" or "Yuanzheng". This is the ancient New Year's Day. The dynasties of the dynasties held celebrations and celebrations on the New Year's Day, such as offering sacrifices to the ancestors of the gods, writing the door to the Spring Festival couplets, writing blessings and dancing dragon lamps, and the folks gradually formed sacrifices to the gods, ancestors, spring couplets, firecrackers, Years of observance, reunion dinners, and numerous "social fires" and other entertainment celebrations. The poet Xinlan of the Jin Dynasty once had the poem "Yuanzheng": "Yuanzheng Enlighten Festival, Jiaqing 肇自兹. Salty Wannian, Xiaodatong Yuexi." Describe the New Year's Day celebration.
