亲爱的蒂娜:
我写信是想告诉你我最喜欢的季节——春天。正如一句中国谚语所说:“一年之计在于春。”对我们中国人来说,春天标志着一整年农耕的开始,因为中国是一个农业国家。事实上,我喜欢春天的一切,比如立春。
在上一封电子邮件中,我告诉你中国有24个节气。立春,在中文里也叫“Lichun(立春)”,是第一个节气。2024年,它从2月4日开始,到2月19日结束。立春标志着冬天的结束和春天的开始。天气变得更暖和了,植物又开始生长了。我们还能发现白天变得更长,夜晚变得更短。
我们经常参加一些有趣的活动来庆祝立春。
迎春
为了迎接春天,人们会张贴春神的画像。据说春神有着人的脑袋和鸟的身体。
立蛋
根据中国民俗文化,如果你能在立春的第一天把鸡蛋立起来,那么你在新的一年里就会有好运。这很有趣,对吧?
“咬”春
在立春期间,人们会吃与春天相关的食物。这就是“咬春”得名的由来。春饼、春卷或春菜是各个年龄段的人最受欢迎的“春食”。
总之,我爱春天。
