腊八节来了！过了腊八就是年

今天

农历腊月初八

中国传统的“腊八节”

室外北风劲吹

屋内暖意融融

一碗腊八粥

好个“腊八节”

腊月

农历的十二月

也是年末的意思

上古时代

冬季祭祖的日子叫“大腊”

腊月初八渐渐定为“腊日”

它祈求着丰收、寓意着吉祥

腊八是春节的序幕

此后年味儿一天比一天浓

家家户户都要忙着做一件事——

准备过年

如何跟外国友人介绍简单“腊八节”呢？

Laba is regarded as the prelude to the coming Lunar New Year, with people starting their preparations for Spring Festival more than 20 days in advance. The 12th lunar month in Chinese is called la yue, so the eighth day of the lunar month is la yue chu ba, or laba.

Three major customs on Laba are ancestor worship, eating Laba rice porridge and making Laba garlic.

A folk saying goes "when Laba arrives, the Spring Festival is around the corner", meaning the festival marks the start of a series of Spring Festival celebrations.

过了腊八就是年

一年一岁一团圆

收拾心情

准备回家过年咯
