除夕的由来中文版:
年三十,也就是"除夕"。这天,是人们吃、喝、玩、乐的日子。北方人包饺子,南方人做年糕。水饺形似"元宝",年糕音似"年高",都是吉祥如意的好兆头。
除夕之夜,全家人在一起吃"团年饭",有一家人团聚过年的味道。吃团年饭时,桌上的"鱼"是不能动的,因为这鱼代表"富裕"和"年年有余",象征来年的"财富与幸运",它属于一种装饰,是碰不得的。
关于年的由来,还有一个传说。相传在远古时候,我们的祖先曾遭受一种最凶猛的野兽的威胁。这种猛兽叫"年",它捕百兽为食,到了冬天,山中食物缺乏时,还会闯入村庄,猎食人和牲畜,百姓惶惶不可终日。人和"年"斗争了很多年,人们发现,年怕三种东西,红颜色、火光、响声。于是在冬天人们在自家门上挂上红颜色的桃木板,门口烧火堆,夜里通宵不睡,敲敲打打。这天夜里,"年"闯进村庄,见到家家有红色和火光,听见震天的响声,吓得跑回深山,再也不敢出来。夜过去了,人们互相祝贺道喜,大家张灯结彩,饮酒摆宴,庆祝胜利。
