七夕的英文介绍

Double Seventh Festival

The Double Seventh Festival, on the 7th day of the 7th lunar month, is a traditional festival full of romance. It often goes into August in the Gregorian calendar

This festival is in mid-summer when the weather is warm and the grass and trees reveal their luxurious greens. At night when the sky is dotted with stars, and people can see the Milky Way spanning from the north to the south. On each bank of it is a bright star, which see each other from afar. They are the Cowherd and Weaver Maid, and about them there is a beautiful love story passed down from generation to generation.

Long, long ago, there was an honest and kind-hearted fellow named Niu Lang (Cowhand). His parents died when he was a child. Later he was driven out of his home by his sister-in-law. So he lived by himself herding cattle and farming. One day, a fairy from heaven Zhi Nu (Weaver Maid) fell in love with him and came down secretly to earth and married him. The cowhand farmed in the field and the Weaver Maid wove at home. They lived a happy life and gave birth to a boy and a girl. Unfortunately, the God of Heaven soon found out the fact and ordered the Queen Mother of the Western Heavens to bring the Weaver Maid back.

With the help of celestial cattle, the Cowhand flew to heaven with his son and daughter. At the time when he was about to catch up with his wife, the Queen Mother took off one of her gold hairpins and made a stroke. One billowy river appeared in front of the Cowhand. The Cowhand and Weaver Maid were separated on the two banks forever and could only feel their tears. Their loyalty to love touched magpies, so tens of thousands of magpies came to build a bridge for the Cowhand and Weaver Maid to meet each other. The Queen Mother was eventually moved and allowed them to meet each year on the 7th of the 7th lunar month. Hence their meeting date has been called "Qi Xi" (Double Seventh).

Scholars have shown the Double Seventh Festival originated from the Han Dynasty (206 BC-AD220). Historical documents from the Eastern Jin Dynasty (AD371-420) mention the festival, while records from the Tang Dynasty (618-907) depict the grand evening banquet of Emperor Taizong and his concubines. By the Song (960-1279) and Yuan (1279-1368) dynasties, special articles for the "Qi Xi" were seen being sold on markets in the capital. The bustling markets demonstrated the significance of the festival.

Today some traditional customs are still observed in rural areas of China, but have been weakened or diluted in urban cities. However, the legend of the Cowhand and Weaver Maid has taken root in the hearts of the people. In recent years, in particular, urban youths have celebrated it as Valentine's Day in China. As a result, owners of flower shops, bars and stores are full of joy as they sell more commodities for love.

【常识】 → 七夕节的由来（中英文介绍）

很久以前，有一个跟着哥嫂过活的孤儿，既聪明又勤快，可嫂嫂仍嫌弃他，天不亮就赶他上山放牛，大家都叫他牛郎。几年后，哥嫂和牛郎分了家，狼心的嫂嫂只给他一间破茅房、一头老牛。从此，牛郎白天放牛、砍柴，晚上就和老牛同睡在那间破茅房内。一天，牛郎赶牛走进了一片陌生的树林，这里山青水秀、鸟语花香。牛郎见到九个仙女驾着祥云落在河的草地上，然后脱去五彩霓裳，跳进清澈见底的河水里，牛郎盯着一个最年轻是美丽的仙女看入了神，这时老牛突然说话了：“她是天上的织女，只要拿走五彩霓裳，她就会做你的妻子。”牛郎悄悄地沿着树从，悄悄拿走了织女的五彩霓裳。天近午时，其他仙女纷纷穿起五彩霓裳，驾着祥云而去。唯独找不到五彩霓裳的织女留下了。这时，牛郎从树后走出，请求织女做他的妻子。织女见牛郎忠厚老实，勤劳健壮，便脉脉含羞地点了点头。 牛郎织女喜结良缘后，男耕女织，互敬互爱。两年后，织女生下一男一女。然而天帝闻知织女下嫁人间，勃然大怒。七月初七，王母奉旨带着天兵天将捉了织女。悲痛欲绝的牛郎在老牛的帮助下，用萝筐挑着儿女追上天去。眼看追上了，王母拔下金簪一划，牛郎脚下立刻出现一条波涛汹涌的天河。 肝肠寸断的织女和肩挑儿女的牛郎，一个在河东一个在河西，遥望对泣。哭声感动了喜鹊，霎时无数的喜鹊飞向天河，搭起一座鹊桥，牛郎织女终于可以在鹊桥上相会了。王母无奈，只好允许牛郎织女每年的七月初七在桥上相会一次。

当然，这只是个传说。乞巧的仪式源自古代织女桑神的原始信仰。这种信仰结合了牛郎织女每年七月七日相会的说法，成了我们今时今日的七夕七巧民间信仰 。

在我国，农历七月初七，人们俗称“七夕节”，也有人称之为“乞巧节”或“女儿节”，这是中国传统节日中最具浪漫色彩的一个节日，也是过去姑娘们最为重视的日子。其实不仅仅是汉族，壮族、满族、朝鲜族等也有过“七夕节”的习俗。不过，随着西方“情人节”流入中土，“七夕节”逐渐又被人称为中国的“情人节”。然而她在年轻人中的影响力，却远不及每年阳历2月14日的西方“情人节”。不光如此，象这样历史悠久且文化内涵深厚、有如此美丽传说的节日，竟越来越不受社会重视，越来越受冷落，是世界变化得太快？还是节日不够现代跟不上时代？牛郎织女难道真的会被中国人遗弃吗？“七夕节”受冷落迫使我们的目光又聚焦到中国传统节日的兴衰上。农历七月初七——七夕节

民间爱情传说之一的牛郎织女的故事。

七夕节始终和牛郎织女的传说相连，这是一个很美丽，千古流传的爱情故事，是我国四大民间爱情传说之一。

相传在很早以前，南阳城西牛家庄里有个聪明、忠厚的小伙子，父母早亡，只好跟着哥哥嫂子度日，嫂子马氏为人狠毒，经常虐待他，逼他干很多的活，一年秋天，嫂子逼他去放牛，给他九头牛，却让他等有了十头牛时才能回家，牛郎无奈只好赶着牛出了村。

……

一天，天上的织女和诸仙女一起下凡游戏，在河里洗澡，牛郎在老牛的帮助下认识了织女，二人互生情意，后来织女便偷偷下凡，来到人间，做了牛郎的妻子。织女还把从天上带来的天蚕分给大家，并教大家养蚕，抽丝，织出又光又亮的绸缎。

牛郎和织女结婚后，男耕女织，情深意重，他们生了一男一女两个孩子，一家人生活得很幸福。但是好景不长，这事很快便让天帝知道，王母娘娘亲自下凡来，强行把织女带回天上，恩爱夫妻被拆散。

牛郎上天无路，还是老牛告诉牛郎，在它死后，可以用它的皮做成鞋，穿着就可以上天。牛郎按照老牛的话做了，穿上牛皮做的鞋，拉着自己的儿女，一起腾云驾雾上天去追织女，眼见就要追到了，岂知王母娘娘拔下头上的金簪一挥，一道波涛汹涌的天河就出现了，牛郎和织女被隔在两岸，只能相对哭泣流泪。他们的忠贞爱情感动了喜鹊，千万只喜鹊飞来，搭成鹊桥，让牛郎织女走上鹊桥相会，王母娘娘对此也无奈，只好允许两人在每年七月七日于鹊桥相会。

后来，每到农历七月初七，相传牛郎织女鹊桥相会的日子，姑娘们就会来到花前月下，抬头仰望星空，寻找银河两边的牛郎星和织女星，希望能看到他们一年一度的相会，乞求上天能让自己能象织女那样心灵手巧，祈祷自己能有如意称心的美满婚姻，由此形成了七夕节。

Chinese Valentine''s Day

Raise your head on August 4 and gaze at the stars, you will find something romantic going on in the sky.

VALENTINE''S Day in China, the seventh day of the seventh lunar month, falls on August 4 this year.

That is, on Monday evening, Niu Lang and Zhi Nu will meet on a bridge of magpies（鹊桥） across the Milky Way（银河）. Chinese grannies will remind children that they would not be able to see any magpies on that evening because all the magpies have left to form a bridge in the heavens with their wings.

Romantic legend

The legend has been handed down for nearly 2 millennia. The story has been recorded as far back as the Jin Dynasty (256-420 AD). Poets composed hundreds of verses on the love story and many types of Chinese opera tell the story.

The Chinese people believe that the star Vega（织女星）, east of the Milky Way, is Zhi Nu and, at the constellation of Aquila（天鹰座）, on the western side of the Milky Way, Niu Lang waits for his wife.

Zhi Nu was said to be the youngest of seven daughters of the Queen of Heaven. With her sisters, she worked hard to weave beautiful clouds in the sky, while Niu Lang was a poor orphan cowherd, driven out of his home by his elder brother and his cruel wife.

Niu Lang lamented over his lonely and poor life with an old cow, his only friend and companion. The magical cow kindly told him of a way to find a beautiful and nice woman as his life companion.

Under the direction of the cow, Niu Lang went to the riverside on an evening, where the seven fairies slipped out of their heavenly palace to bathe.

He took one of the beautiful silk dresses the fairies had left on the bank. When the fairies left the water, the youngest couldn''t find her clothes and had to see her sisters fly back to heaven without her.

Then Niu Lang came out with the dress and asked the youngest fairy, Zhi Nu, to stay with him.

Several years passed on Earth, which were only a few days in heaven. Niu Lang and Zhi Nu lived happily together and had two children before the Queen of Heaven discovered Zhi Nu''s absence.

She was so annoyed she had Zhi Nu brought back to heaven. Seeing his beloved wife flying in the sky, Niu Lang was terrified. He caught sight of the cowhide hanging on a wall. The magical cow had told him before dying of old age: "Keep the cowhide（牛皮） for emergency use."

Putting the cowhide on, he went after his wife with his two children.

With the help of the cowhide, Niu Lang was able to follow Zhi Nu into heaven. He was about to reach his wife when the Queen showed up and pulled off her hairpin to draw a line between the two. The line became the Silver River in heaven, or the Milky Way.

Zhi Nu went back to the heavenly workshop, going on weaving the clouds. But she was so sad, and missed her husband across the Silver River so much that the clouds she weaved seemed sad. Finally, the Queen showed a little mercy, allowing the couple to meet once every year on the Silver River.

Well-known poem

One of the most famous poems about the legend was written by Qin Guan of in the Song Dynasty (960-1279).

Fairy Of The Magpie Bridge

Among the beautiful clouds,
Over the heavenly river,
Crosses the weaving maiden.

A night of rendezvous,
Across the autumn sky.

Surpasses joy on earth.
Moments of tender love and dream,
So sad to leave the magpie bridge.

Eternal love between us two,
Shall withstand the time apart.
(Translated by Kylie Hsu)

鹊桥仙
宋·秦观
织云弄巧
飞星传恨
银汉迢迢暗度

金风玉露一相逢
便胜却人间无数

柔情似水
佳期如梦
忍顾鹊桥归路

两情若是久长时
又岂在朝朝暮暮

Compared with love stories in Western legends, the story of Niu Lang and Zhi Nu seems not as intense or passionate. Love doesn''t kill or break up the barrier between them. They just wait patiently on the riverbank, believing that their love can withstand their time apart.

It is faith and emotional liaison instead of physical attraction and desire that is emphasized in the story as well as in many other Chinese folktales（民间故事） about love.

In only a few Chinese folk love stories can be found a description of the physical appearances of the hero and heroine.

In the "Butterfly Lovers", the heroine, dressed as a boy to attend school, falls in love with a classmate. After they have lived together as classmates for years, the hero did not have the slightest clue that his best friend is actually a girl!

Chinese ceremonies

The seventh day of the seventh lunar month is the only Chinese festival devoted to love in the Lunar calendar.

Unlike St. Valentine''s Day in Western countries there is not so much emphasis on giving chocolates, flowers and kisses. Instead, Chinese girls prepare fruits, melons and incense（熏香） as offerings to Zhi Nu, the weaving maiden, praying to acquire high skills in needlecraft（裁缝）, as well as hoping to find satisfactory husbands.

In the evening, people sit outdoors to observe the stars. Chinese grannies would say that, if you stand under a grapevine, you can probably overhear what Zhi Nu and Niu Lang are talking about.

B. 七夕节风俗是什么

七夕节，中国的传统节日，你了解它的风俗吗？以下是对七夕节风俗的详细介绍，希望对你有所帮助！
1. 穿针乞巧
穿针乞巧是七夕节最早的乞巧方式，始于汉代，传承至今。《西京杂记》记载：“汉彩女常以七月七日穿七孔针于开襟楼，人俱习之。”南朝梁宗谋《荆楚岁时记》说：“七月七日，是夕人家妇女结彩楼穿七孔外，或以金银愉石为针。”《舆地志》称：“齐武帝起层城观，七月七日，宫人多登之穿针。世谓之穿针楼。”五代王仁裕《开元天宝遗事》记载：“七夕，宫中以锦结成楼殿，高百尺，上可以胜数十人，陈以瓜果酒炙，设坐具，以祀牛女二星，妃嫔各以九孔针五色线向月穿之，过者为得巧之侯。动清商之曲，宴乐达旦。土民之家皆效之。”元陶宗仪《元氏掖庭录》说：“九引台，七夕乞巧之所。至夕，宫女登台以五彩丝穿九尾针，先完者为得巧，迟完者谓之输巧，各出资以赠得巧者焉。”
2. 晒书、晒衣
据《舆地志》记载，司马懿当年因位高权重，颇受曹操猜忌，为求自保，他装疯病躲在家里。魏武帝仍然不大放心，就派了一个亲信令史暗中探查。时值七月七日，装疯的司马懿也在家中晒书。令史回去禀报魏武帝，魏武帝马上下令要司马懿回朝任职，否则即可收押。司马懿只乖乖的遵命回朝。另有一种人，在乱世中，以放浪形骸来表达中的郁闷。他们藐视礼法，反对时俗。刘义庆的《世说新语》卷二十五说，七月七日人人晒书，只有郝隆跑到太阳底下去躺着，人家问他为什么，他回答：“我晒书”。这一方面是蔑视晒书的习俗，另一方面也是夸耀自己腹中的才学。晒肚皮也就是晒书。汉代晒衣的风俗在魏晋时为豪门富室制造了夸耀财富的机会。名列“竹林七贤”的阮咸就瞧不起这种作风。七月七日，当他的邻居晒衣时，只见架上全是陵罗绸缎，光彩夺目。而阮咸不慌不忙的用竹竿挑起一件破旧的衣服，有人问他在干什么，他说：“未能免俗，聊复尔耳!”由这几则小故事看来，就知道当时七夕晒书、晒衣的风俗有多盛了。
3. 种生求子
旧时习俗，在七夕前几天，先在小木板上敷一层土，播下粟米的种子，让它生出绿油油的嫩苗，再摆一些小茅屋、花木在上面，做成田舍人家小村落的模样，称为“壳板”，或将绿豆、小豆、小麦等浸于磁碗中，等它长出敷寸的芽，再以红、蓝丝绳扎成一束，称为“种生”，又叫“五生盆”或“生花盆”。南方各地也称为“泡巧”，将长出的豆芽称为巧芽，甚至以巧芽取代针，抛在水面乞巧。还用蜡塑各种形象，如牛郎、织女故事中的人物，或秃鹰、鸳鸯、等动物之形，放在水上浮游，称之为“水上浮”。又有蜡制的婴儿玩偶，让妇女买回家浮于水土，以为宜子之祥，称为“化生”。
七夕饮食文化
吃面条
另外这一天有吃面的习俗，这一天往往跟中国的24节气以外的三个杂节气，一个杂节气就是三伏，还有一个是暑九，还有一个南方的雷雨。大家都知道头伏饺子，二伏面。而且吃面意味着挑寿，面挑得越高，人就越长寿。还有为织女摆贡。面条可以做，抻面最好，它象征着巧，而且象征你以后的性格能屈能伸，特别是能男孩子抻面或者给丈夫抻面，而且具有韧性，说明你出去做人也要有韧性，你迅铅的事业才能够成功。丈夫的夫本来就是天字出头叫夫，丈夫为天，妻子为地，面抻出头上，天就为夫，就可以闯出一番事业。另外闯荡出来，还要祝福婆婆公公健康长寿。
分豆求缘
很多人不知道，七夕节还与分豆结缘。每年七月初七，各家各户都要分食蚕豆，谓之“咬鬼头”，取驱邪的意思。“分豆结缘”是福州七夕节特有的风俗。此俗缘出郊区，后传入城中。节日里福州人相互赠送蚕豆，并在七夕夜月光下分啃蚕豆谈天说地，以作结缘纪念。七夕成为促进家人和睦、朋友缘深、邻里友好相处的“结缘节”。平日，小孩、邻里之搭脊间难免会磕磕知昌渗碰碰，蚕豆一分，积怨便烟消云散了。
瓜果
七夕是以瓜果为主，因为这个时候瓜果下来了，特别是西瓜。而且这个时候最忌讳的是不吃梨，大家在这一天吃梨，就和巧距离得更远。所以一般这天女孩子都不吃梨。七夕的时候放桃，将来到了中秋，我们供月供娘娘都放。另外这个时候，端午节刚过之后，还有一些剩的樱桃，一般都喜欢采来。大家为什么要用樱桃，五月是热月，过去了，七月是分离的月，又进入酷暑，疾病开始蔓延，蚊蝇很多，樱桃像小灯笼一样，代表日子红红火火，第二，民间还这样认为，英雄一来，妖魔鬼怪统统逃跑了。还有桑葚，吃了白桑葚，象征着我从现在一直到天冷，吃菜或者水果的时候吃不了虫子，黑桑葚如果在这天吃就吃不到苍蝇屎。
广州七夕节的习俗
在我国南方的重镇，广州，乞巧节有着其十分独特的风俗习惯，那就是迎仙。所谓迎仙，包含了如下的内容，乞巧节到来之前，年轻的姑娘们就预先备好用彩纸、通草、线绳等，编制成各种奇巧的小玩艺，用来和儿童们逗乐。同时，还会准备一些谷种和绿豆，放入小盒里用水浸泡，使之发芽，待芽长到二寸多长时，用来拜神，称为“拜仙禾”和“拜神菜”。从七月初六晚开始至初七晚，一连两晚，姑娘们穿上新衣服，戴上新首饰，一切都安排好后，便焚香点烛，对星空跪拜，称为“迎仙”，自三更至五更，要连拜七次。姑娘们迎仙拜仙之后，手执彩线对着灯影将线穿过针孔，如一口气能穿七枚针孔者叫得巧，被称为巧手，穿不到七个针孔的叫输巧。乞巧节日过后，姑娘们将所制作的小工艺品、玩具互相赠送，以表达友爱之情。其实所谓的迎仙，从字面上解释，就是迎接仙女，也就是迎接织女，因而从这一点上和其他地方的七夕节是差别不大，大同小异而已，不同的地方就是，同样是迎接织女，习俗的名称不一样，迎仙的活动内容会有一些出入，仅此而已。
