春节习俗英语介绍:扫尘
春节 英语
每年从农历腊月二十三日起到除夕止,我国民间把这段时间叫做"迎春日",也叫"扫尘日"。扫尘就是年终大扫除,北方称"扫房",南方叫"掸尘"。在春节前扫尘,是我国人民素有的传统习惯。大江南北,到处洋溢着欢欢喜喜搞卫生、干干净净迎新春的气氛。
“Dust” is homophonic with “chen”(尘)in Chinese, which means old and past. In this way, “sweeping the dust” before the Spring Festival means a thorough cleaning of houses to sweep away bad luck in the past year. This custom shows a good wish of putting away old things to welcome a new life. In a word, just before the Spring Festival comes, every househ
old will give a thorough cleaning to bid farewell to the old year and usher in the new.
