今天到了9月28号,农历八月十四,明日就是八月十五了。今天也是中秋节前最后一个工作日,大家是满怀期待,今天下班就开始放中秋假期了。

中秋节是我国四大传统节日之一,在民间将会是有非常隆重的传统习俗,今年的中秋节就在明天到来了,你准备好回家团圆了吗?准备怎么过中秋节呢?欢迎大家留言分享行程。

中秋节因为在每年的农历八月十五,而八月是仲秋,仲秋也就是秋季中间一个月,而十五又是月中望月,月圆人团圆的日子,所以八月十五中秋节有人团圆赏月吃月饼等习俗。

其实,对于八月十五的月亮,老祖宗有很多讲究的,比如说祭月、拜月的习俗。古籍《礼记》中记载“天子春朝日,秋夕月”,这里说的就在秋季中秋节的时候要祭拜月亮。并且根据老祖宗的说法,祭拜月亮还是有男女有别的,老话说“男不拜月,女不祭灶”,这里就是告诉我们,祭拜月亮一般是女的,而男的不拜月。

中秋节其实不同地方有不同说法,但是表达的意境情感都是一样的,比如说八月节、拜月节、月夕、仲秋节、团圆节还有女儿节。这里说的女儿节大家应该知道,中秋节习俗之一就是出嫁女要在中秋节前走亲戚。这个亲戚就是娘家的亲戚,出嫁的女儿回娘家送节。当然,八月正是桂花成熟的时候,桂花、月饼、圆月,一家人大团圆。

今年中秋节可不一般,我们来看看有哪些不一般:

一、今年中秋节来得比较晚。

中秋节一般按照农历八月十五这天为准的,是不考虑阳历时间的。但是农历会是有闰月的年景。今年农历闰二月,所以,二月之后就是闰二月,再到三月,所以从三月开始后面的月份都会推迟一个月时间。所以,今年八月十五中秋节已经推迟了。而阳历到了9月29号,与十一国庆节紧相连了,所以今年中秋国庆连休8天。

二、今年中秋节在秋分节之后到来。

今年秋分节在9月23号,而中秋节八月十五在9月29号,这就是说今年秋分在前,中秋节在后。对于这样的年景,有句老话说“中秋秋分后,5人要躲月”。这句话是啥意思呢?

“中秋秋分后,5人要躲月”

这里说的“月夕”就是特指的八月十五中秋节。这句话就是说明中秋节在秋分节之后到来。那么,这样的年景将会是有5人要躲月。这里说的“躲月”就是躲八月中秋月亮。也就是传统说的5个生肖的人要躲一躲。

那么,具体是哪五个生肖要躲月呢?

今年是癸卯兔年,所以值年太岁就是生肖兔的,还有四个太岁分别是破太岁是马,冲太岁是鸡,害太岁是龙,刑太岁是鼠,所以5个要躲月的生肖分别是:兔、马、鸡、龙、鼠。

东西问丨黄涛:“天涯共此时”,中秋为何是一个关于月亮的节日?

中新社北京9月28日电 题:“天涯共此时”,中秋为何是一个关于月亮的节日?

——专访中国民俗学会副会长黄涛

中新社记者 马帅莎

农历八月十五是中国四大传统节日之一的中秋节。沿袭千年,中秋节始终承载着人们“人月两团圆”的朴素愿望,口耳相传的神话故事、望月抒怀的名篇佳作彰显深厚的中秋文化底蕴。

“天涯共此时”,中秋节为何是一个与月亮相关的节日?中秋节俗体现了古人何种生活美学与文化意涵?中秋味道在海内外如何引起共鸣?中国民俗学会副会长、中国民间文艺家协会中国节日文化研究中心副主任黄涛近日就此接受了中新社“东西问”专访。

现将访谈实录摘要如下:

中新社记者:提起中秋,人们最先想到的便是赏月。中秋节为何是一个与月亮相关的节日?它是如何演变形成的?

黄涛:本质上,中秋节是个关于月亮的节日。它的所有习俗几乎都和月亮有关:赏月、祭月,吃月饼,月下游戏、交往,讲与月亮有关的故事……人们最为重视的中秋亲友团圆习俗也跟月亮有关:月圆家也圆,团圆也由月圆而引发。

这些习俗中,跟月亮关系最大的自然是赏月。中秋节最早产生于唐朝的赏月之风,渐渐演变为一种风俗,人们不约而同在农历八月十五夜晚赏月,这样,中秋节在唐朝就初步形成了。

从现有资料看,唐朝初年,在农历八月十五月夜赏月主要是在社会的中上层人物如官员、文人等及其家庭开始风行,家人或朋友聚集在一起赋诗、饮酒、聊天等,一般人家没有赏月赋诗的雅兴。到中唐时期,赏月聚会的风尚逐渐影响和流传到平民社会,寻常百姓家庭以及寺庙之类公众场所也兴起聚会、宴饮等习俗。到晚唐,中秋节已成为全社会的节日。

中新社记者:作为中华传统节日中仅次于春节的第二大节,中秋节的节庆传统深受看重与珍爱。海内外有哪些特色的节庆活动?体现了哪些传统文化意涵?

黄涛:各地过中秋的风俗习惯可分为如下几类,亲友团聚、赏月、吃月饼、互送礼品、拜月、庆丰收、游戏娱乐、祈子等。一些地方会在公共场所举行别具特色的游艺活动,如开封的“铁塔燃灯”、安徽的舞香龙、钱塘江观潮、厦门的玩会饼博状元、香港的花灯会等。

人们通过团聚、联欢、赠送礼品等活动,加深亲人、朋友的感情联系,密切人际关系;通过赏月、泛舟、观潮等欣赏、亲近自然美景的活动,促进人与自然的和谐关系;通过尝新粮、吃新果等活动,欢庆丰收。此外,这些年来,观看电视节目联欢晚会等各类文化演出成为新的民俗。

中新社记者:月饼是如何成为中秋节重要符号的?近年来市场上出现螺蛳粉月饼、辣条月饼等新晋网红月饼,您怎么看这些新的“中秋味道”?

黄涛:中秋月饼又称“团圆饼”,是明月和团圆的象征。作为中秋节“标志性美食”,月饼正式出现于明代,开始它是拜月的供品,后来才演变为节令食品。

明初中秋节拜月习俗盛行,拜月要上供品。因为中秋祭的是圆月,民间自然要求供品需呈圆形,即“其祭果饼必圆”。圆形的饼摆在供桌上,可象征圆月。制作时,人们会印嫦娥、月宫、桂树、玉兔等图案在上面。月饼作为供品从供桌上撤下后,不能扔掉。民间向来有祭神仪式完成后分食祭品的习惯,所以月饼很自然地成为人们的中秋食品。

后来拜月习俗淡化,月饼作为团圆饼的地位越来越重要,这时它作为祭品的作用减弱,以至于到后世拜月习俗基本消失时,吃月饼却成为中秋节的主要习俗之一。

只要月饼作为一种圆形的饼食,能够象征圆月和团圆,并且人们爱吃,它就是很好的中秋月饼。至于工艺如何改进,饼皮、馅料、口味如何更新,都无碍于月饼习俗的传承。制作月饼的厂家尽可在充分研究人们饮食口味变化的基础上,大胆研发新产品,满足新时代不同群体消费者的需求。

如果一味保守地制作高糖高油高脂肪的所谓“传统月饼”,反而是跟不上时代要求的懒惰行为,人们不爱吃的落伍月饼亦是不合格的月饼。

中新社记者:中秋节在朝鲜半岛、越南、新加坡等地也很兴盛。中秋节是如何传播到海外的?国外怎么过中秋节?有何地域化特色?

黄涛:作为中华民族的一大传统节日,中秋节习俗早已传播到国外。其传播途径有两种:一是古代中国作为当时世界上的经济强国、文化大国,其文化受到别国学习效仿,特别是在东亚出现了“汉字文化圈”,中秋节文化从唐朝开始就传播到日本、朝鲜半岛、越南等地;二是跟随华侨华人的足迹传播到世界各地。由第一种途径传到别国的中秋节是由该国全体国民过的,如韩国、朝鲜、日本、越南等国都是如此;由第二种途径传到别国的,则主要是该国的华侨华人群体在过,也会吸引所在国的不少民众参与。

韩国民众过中秋的主要习俗有团聚、吃松糕、送礼、祭祖、扫墓、庆丰收等。总体而言韩国人很喜欢中秋节,把它当作第二大节。朝鲜秋夕的习俗、文化内涵与韩国在根本上是相同的,但有一些活动上的差异。朝鲜秋夕以欢庆丰收和祭扫祖坟为主,瞻仰烈士陵园和纪念碑成为特色活动。

日本民众过中秋有两个重要日子:一个是旧历八月十五,一个是旧历九月十三。前者是从中国传去的,后者主要源于本国文化传统。日本人传说,十五夜,月亮上开满桂花,桂树下有白兔在做日本烧饼——嫦娥奔月、吴刚伐桂的神话故事在日本本土不流行。在十五夜,日本乡村民众的主要习俗是祭月、庆丰收。供品中,最重要、最有节日特色的是芒草、芋头、月见团子。“十五夜看不到月亮还有十三夜。”这是在日本流传很广的说法。有两个赏月的日子,总有一次赶上晴天,见到明月。

越南民众过中秋也讲究家庭团圆,且对中秋节吃月饼的热衷程度不亚于中国民众。临近农历八月十五时,越南的食品市场也兴起“月饼大战”。节日期间有较多娱乐游艺活动,最突出的是玩花灯。跟中国的中秋节相比,越南中秋节最显著的特色是兼具“儿童节”的味道,市面上摆出很多玩具,供家长和孩子们挑选。晚上,各家孩子提花灯出来游玩,成群结队嬉戏到深夜。

新加坡中秋习俗的一大显著特色是大张旗鼓办灯会,节日的夜晚被如梦如幻的彩灯装饰得耀眼夺目,大型灯笼游行、制灯比赛等都是气氛热烈的群体活动。

中新社记者:当下,人们在奔波忙碌中常感慨“节味淡了”。您认为应该如何传承中秋文化,使其更好地契合现代生活,更加有声有色?

黄涛:由于种种原因,一些传统节日在现代社会被紧张忙碌的人群过得略显单调。然而回顾历史上的过节情形,就会发现它们原来那样丰富活泼、浪漫有趣。中秋节亦是这样一个魅力无限的节日。穿越时空,游历明清、两宋和盛唐,中秋节的夜空缀满了温情、浪漫与狂放。

当下,我们不仅要发现传统节日原有的独特魅力,还应挖掘它们在现代社会存活发展别样的可能性和新的广阔空间。在保持中秋节传统内涵的基础上,应使过节方式更加适应现代人的喜好和生活习惯,方式应灵活多变,内容应丰富多彩。

比如,月饼不限于传统风格,还应研发更受现代人喜欢的创意食品;习俗活动不只有家庭团聚,还应有各种赏月以及月下游玩娱乐活动。另外,还可以吸收、恢复历史上过中秋的活动和方式,同时注意保持和弘扬各地过中秋的特色活动;也可以围绕嫦娥、月宫、桂树、玉兔、吴刚等中秋文化“符号”,挖掘、举办更多中秋文创产品或活动,活化运用中秋节丰富的神话传说、故事诗词等,营造中秋节神奇、瑰丽、抒情、有趣的节日氛围,激发更多青少年过中秋节的兴趣。(完)
