　　中:春节,是农历的岁首,也是我国古老的传统节日.古代过“年”不是在腊月二十九日或三十日,而是在“蜡日”,即后来的“腊八”.南北朝以后,把“蜡祭”移至岁末.到了民国时,改用阳历,才把阴历年叫“春节”,因为春节一般都在“立春”前后.

　　春节是我国最盛大、最热闹的一个古老传统节日.俗称“过年”.按照我国农历,正月初一古称元日、元辰、元正、元朔、元旦等,俗称年初一,还有上日、正朝、三朔、三朝、三始、三元等别称,意即正月初一是年、月、日三者的开始.

　　春节,顾名思义就是春天的节日.春天来临,万象更新,新一轮播种和收获季节又要开始.人们有足够的理由载歌载舞来迎接这个节日.于是,节前就在门脸上贴上红纸黄字的新年寄语.

　　春节的另一名称叫过年.“年”是什么呢?是一种为人们带来坏运气的想象中的动物.“年”一来.树木凋蔽,百草不生；“年”一“过”,万物生长,鲜花遍地.“年”如何才能过去呢?需用鞭炮轰,于是有了燃鞭炮的习俗.1993
