与冬至有关的民俗与俗语~

  冬至,是中国农历二十四节气中的一个,也是中国人的一个传统节日。早在两千七百多年前的中国春秋时代,就有了“冬至”这个节气了。

  在中文里,“至”是极点、顶点的意思。这并不是指气温在冬至这一天冷到了极点,而是针对地球绕太阳旋转的位置而言的。对于生活在北半球的人们来说 ,冬至这天是白昼最
  短的一天。冬至之后,白天便一天比一天长了起来。 据古书记载,冬至时,皇帝要跟大臣们一起欣赏音乐5天。就是在老百姓家里,也都要吹奏乐器。这一天,皇帝还要把懂得天文历法的能人请来,核对历法,同时还要举行祭天活动。闻名世界的北京天坛,就是皇帝在冬至这天举行祭天活动的地方。

  古代,冬至这一天有“贺冬”的习俗,十分热闹。这天早上,人们早早地起床,大人小孩服饰华丽,往来如云,相互庆贺。冬至,在中国民间又叫“交九”。人们习惯从这天起开始“数九”,每九天算一个“九”。第一个九天叫做“一九”,冬至是“一九”的头一天。第二个九天叫做“二九”。照此类推,一共有九个“九”,九九八十一天过后,“九尽桃花开”,天气就暖和了。在民间,还有一首歌谣形象地描述了冬至开始的天气变化规律:“一九二九,伸不出手;三九四九,冻死猫狗;五九六九,隔河看柳(指柳树开始发芽);七九河开(指河里的冰开始融化);八九雁来;九九寒尽,春暖花开。”

  在中国民间还有从冬至这天开始画《九九消寒图》的习惯。先画一枝不染色的梅花,一共画出八十一个花瓣,表示自冬至开始的八十一天。冬至后,每天用颜色染在一个花瓣儿上,等到八十一个瓣儿染完了,春天也就到了。有人在染色时很有心计,如遇阴天,染上部的花瓣;晴天染下部;刮风染左边;下雨染右边,下雪染中间。这样,八十一天下来,就成了一张有趣的天气统计图表了。

冬至在月头,要冷在年底;冬至在月尾,要冷在正月;冬至在月中,无雪也没霜。(这是依据冬至日到来的早晚,推测寒流到台湾的早晚。)
冬至在月头,无被不用愁;冬至在月尾,大雪起纷飞。(贵)
冬至头,天气暖;冬至中,天气冷;冬至尾,冷得迟。(桂)
冬至在月中,无雪又无霜;冬至在月底,寒冷正二月。(苏)
冬在头,冷在节气前;冬在中,冷在节气中;冬在尾,冷在节气尾。(桂)

The positive, play dragon lantern. The positive, jumping colored lantern. Thirty fireworks, fifteen lamp. The Spring Festival sunny day, from year to year people peace. On the three bases, die rock side grass. To spend the New Year, bacon and sweet dumplings. February, offering leading. March, the snake went up to the mountain, crab up clusters. Tomb-sweeping day, FenShan a piece of white. Seiqnyied bat, the hair, tao ditch water offering HanBa Daniel. Seiqnyied bat, marry a caterpillar. The Dragon Boat Festival, row dragon boat. Hang rush hanging moxa in the eaves. Attracting, drying of clothes. July seven, the galaxy will. July half, ghost festival meal, eat satisfied ghost rice planting garlic. July furrowed a bowl of oil, August break ground half bowl of oil
