七夕(Double Seventh Festival)的由來Chinese Valentines Day 七夕節(jié)民間典故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 calendarThis 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 Historical documents from the Eastern Jin Dynasty (AD371-420) mention the festival, while records from the Tang Dynasty (618-907) depict the grand evening banquet of Emperor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 Valentines Day in China. As a result, owners of flower shops, bars and stores are full of joy as they sell more commodities for love.中文版翻譯七夕節(jié)的由來很久以前，有一個跟著哥嫂過活的孤兒，既聰明又勤快，可嫂嫂仍嫌棄他，天不亮就趕他上山放牛，大家都叫他牛郎。幾年后，哥嫂和牛郎分了家，狼心的嫂嫂只給他一間破茅房、一頭老牛。從此，牛郎白天放牛、砍柴，晚上就和老牛同睡在那間破茅房內。一天，牛郎趕牛走進了一片陌生的樹林，這里山青水秀、鳥語花香。牛郎見到九個仙女駕著祥云落在河的草地上，然后脫去五彩霓裳，跳進清澈見底的河水里，牛郎盯著一個最年輕是美麗的仙女看入了神，這時老牛突然說話了：“她是天上的織女，只要拿走五彩霓裳，她就會做你的妻子?！迸＠汕那牡匮刂鴺鋸?，悄悄拿走了織女的五彩霓裳。天近午時，其他仙女紛紛穿起五彩霓裳，駕著祥云而去。唯獨找不到五彩霓裳的織女留下了。這時，牛郎從樹后走出，請求織女做他的妻子?？椗娕＠芍液窭蠈?，勤勞健壯，便脈脈含羞地點了點頭。 牛郎織女喜結良緣后，男耕女織，互敬互愛。兩年后，織女生下一男一女。然而天帝聞知織女下嫁人間，勃然大怒。七月初七，王母奉旨帶著天兵天將捉了織女。悲痛欲絕的牛郎在老牛的幫助下，用蘿筐挑著兒女追上天去。眼看追上了，王母拔下金簪一劃，牛郎腳下立刻出現(xiàn)一條波濤洶涌的天河。 肝腸寸斷的織女和肩挑兒女的牛郎，一個在河東一個在河西，遙望對泣?？蘼暩袆恿讼铲o，霎時無數(shù)的喜鵲飛向天河，搭起一座鵲橋，牛郎織女終于可以在鵲橋上相會了。王母無奈，只好允許牛郎織女每年的七月初七在橋上相會一次。當然，這只是個傳說。乞巧的儀式源自古代織女桑神的原始信仰。這種信仰結合了牛郎織女每年七月七日相會的說法，成了我們今時今日的七夕七巧民間信仰 。在我國，農歷七月初七，人們俗稱“七夕節(jié)”，也有人稱之為“乞巧節(jié)”或“女兒節(jié)”，這是中國傳統(tǒng)節(jié)日中最具浪漫色彩的一個節(jié)日，也是過去姑娘們最為重視的日子。其實不僅僅是漢族，壯族、滿族、朝鮮族等也有過“七夕節(jié)”的習俗。不過，隨著西方“情人節(jié)”流入中土，“七夕節(jié)”逐漸又被人稱為中國的“情人節(jié)”。然而她在年輕人中的影響力，卻遠不及每年陽歷2月14日的西方“情人節(jié)”。不光如此，象這樣歷史悠久且文化內涵深厚、有如此美麗傳說的節(jié)日，竟越來越不受社會重視，越來越受冷落，是世界變化得太快？還是節(jié)日不夠現(xiàn)代跟不上時代？牛郎織女難道真的會被中國人遺棄嗎？“七夕節(jié)”受冷落迫使我們的目光又聚焦到中國傳統(tǒng)節(jié)日的興衰上。2013年七夕怎么過下個月就是浪漫的七夕“情人節(jié)”了，該如何和愛人度過這個愛的節(jié)日呢？吃燭光晚餐、買巧克力、送玫瑰這些老土的方式似乎都已經OUT了，為此，優(yōu)生活通過多方打探，為廣大讀者搜集到幾種不一樣的過節(jié)方式。七夕浪漫求婚七夕情人節(jié)是古今中外一直被人們所紀念的節(jié)日，要是讓變得更加的有意義，過的更加的不一樣，不少人紛紛在七夕情人節(jié)求婚起來，從七夕情人節(jié)變成結婚紀念日，求婚鉆戒也變得格外的閃亮。Darry Ring，每個男生憑身份證定制唯一的一枚，寓意“一生唯一真愛”不僅僅的七夕求婚的寓意不一樣，甚至連求婚鉆戒也顯得與眾不同，更加更多的情調在里面。網購螢火蟲送情人昨日，記者在網上搜索發(fā)現(xiàn)，七夕臨近，螢火蟲在網上熱賣。淘寶網上專門開設了“七夕螢火蟲”的分類銷售，目前專門出售七夕螢火蟲的商家有30多家，價格每只在3元至10元不等，最少要10只起賣，也有1000只起售，售價大約在上百元到上千元不等，如此昂貴的價格還是引來了不少買家的關注。銷售螢火蟲的多為北京、上海、四川、云南的賣家，重慶目前還沒有。北京一賣家告訴記者，店鋪30天已累計銷售出2000多只螢火蟲，基本都是買家買去送情人的。據(jù)賣家介紹，由于螢火蟲要視天氣情況采集，加上運輸和飼養(yǎng)過程，壽命有限，在正確方法及條件下存放，螢火蟲可以存活5天，所以如果要買螢火蟲必須提前預訂，最好在使用的當天或頭天收到螢火蟲，這樣可減少螢火蟲的死亡率。自己DIY“情侶餅干”昨日，記者在江北一家超市見到了正在準備情人節(jié)禮物的謝杰。他告訴記者，他是來采集原料，做一個特別的七夕禮物送給妻子，創(chuàng)意來自于兩人一起看過的一部偶像劇，劇中男主角做了一些刻有“Love”字樣的餅干送給他心儀的女生，當時老婆看到就非常感動，所以這次情人節(jié)，他決定親自動手，為妻子做一份愛的餅干。他在網上查到了制作小餅干的方法，然后到超市買材料試著做。錄首情歌表達愛意情人節(jié)到了，唱首情歌送給對方表達情意也是不錯的選擇。昨日，通過沙坪壩重大附近一家酒店老板的介紹，記者見到了26歲的張耀，他自己組了樂隊，偶爾在附近一帶酒吧駐場。這個情人節(jié)，他打算送一份特別的情人節(jié)禮物給女朋友，錄一首愛很簡單送給她，因為兩個人初次見面就是在一個酒吧，當時他就唱了這首歌，他希望在情人節(jié)通過這首歌向女朋友表達愛意。這種方式操作起來也很方便，可以自己在網上下載錄歌的軟件，如混錄天王、快樂豆等，然后準備一支話筒，錄好之后刻成盤，就搞定了，也可以兩人一起錄首情歌。如果想要高質量的音質，還可以去一些錄音棚和KTV錄歌，只是價格相對貴一些，一般在1001000元不等。牽手爬愛情天梯周末牽手感受那段長達半個世紀的情緣故事。到達中山古鎮(zhèn)，然后可以沿路問當?shù)厝巳绾蔚綈矍樘焯?，從中山古?zhèn)到愛情天梯山腳大概有10公里土路，爬
