APN2012 第十一章 - 元宵节 (Lantern Festival)

第十一章 - 元宵节 (Lantern Festival)

每年农历的正月十五日春节刚过
迎来的就是中国汉族的传统节日之一的元宵节
正月是农历的元月  古人称夜为“宵”
所以称正月十五为元宵节
正月十五日是一年中第一个月圆之夜  也是一元复始
大地回春的夜晚  人们对此加以庆祝
也是庆贺新春的延续
人们会点起彩灯万盏  以示庆贺
出门赏月、燃灯放焰、喜猜灯谜、共吃元宵
合家团聚、同庆佳节,其乐融融

而纳闽岛的元宵节是怎样的呢?
元宵节对于纳闽的居民来说是一个大日子
每一年在这一晚
近于Jalan Rancha-Rancha 的四个庙宇
会举行一系列的庆典
会发放烟花、众神出游、舞狮等
纳闽居民也会准备了各式各样的祭品、糕点来祭拜
祈求接下新一年顺顺利利,否极泰来

在纳闽求学,做工的游子们
明年的元宵节记得
到那些庙宇和纳闽居民一起欢庆元宵节哦
