十二属相

中国民间有一个传统习俗,人一出生,就有一种动物做他的属相。属相,也叫“生肖”,是中国民间传统的纪年和计算年龄的方法。

中国古代的纪年法是帝王年号与“干支”并用,其中“干支纪年法”从史书上有明文记载的公元前841年(庚申年),一直沿用到现在。“干”是“天干”,有十个字组成,这十个字是:甲、乙、丙、丁、戊、己、庚、辛、壬、癸。“支”是“地支”,由十二个字组成,这十二个字是:子、丑、寅、卯、辰、巳、午、未、申、酉、戌、亥。把天干的十个字和地支的十二个字按顺序配合起来,可以得到60种排列,如:甲子、乙丑、丙寅……这60种排列周而复始,循环使用,每六十年叫做“一个甲子”。如公历的2001年,是农历的辛巳年,公历的2002年,是农历的壬午年;而六十年后,2061年又是辛巳年,2062年又是壬午年。从东汉(25——220)时开始,人们又用鼠、牛、虎、兔、龙、蛇、马、羊、猴、鸡、狗、猪12种动物来配十二地支,组成了十二生肖,也叫十二属相。这就是子鼠、丑牛、寅虎、卯兔、辰龙、巳蛇、午马、未羊、申猴、酉鸡、戌狗、亥猪。这样,子年是鼠年,丑年是牛年,寅年是虎年……于是,每个人一出生,就有一种动物作他的属相。子年出生的属鼠,丑年出生的属牛,寅年出生的属虎,以此类推。

现在,中国人在用公历纪年和计算年龄的同时,仍然习惯用属相纪年和推算年龄。

twelve symbolic animals

it is traditional in China,when a perpon is born,one animal(shuxiang)is used to symbolize this year.Shuxiang,also called shengxiao(any ofthe12animals representing the Earthly Branches),is a traditional way in China to number the years and to record a person's age.

The ancient Chinese people invented the method to designate the years by the Heavenly Stems consist of the characters:jia,yi,bing,ding,wu,ji,geng,xin,ren,and gui.And the Earthly Branches are composed of12

characters:zi,shu,yin,mao,chen,si,wu,wei,shen,you,xu,https://www.sodocs.net/doc/653795506.html,bining each of the 10Heavenly Stems with one of the12Earthly Branches in sequence creates60 chronological symbols.For example jiazi,yichou,bingyin,etc.These60symbols are used in circles and thus each year has a chronological symbol.For example,2001 corresponds to xinsi,2002to renwu in the lunar calendar;after60years,2061,once again,corresponds to xinsi,and2062,to https://www.sodocs.net/doc/653795506.html,ter,people used12animalsto correspond to the12Earthly Branches,forming the12Symbolic Animals,namely Earthly Branch One Rat,Earthly Branch Two Ox,Earthly Branch Three

Tiger,Earthly Branch Four Rabbit,Earthly Branch Five Dragon,Earthly Branch Six Snake,Earthly Branch Seven Horse,Earthly Branch Eight Sheep,Earthly Branch Nine Monkey,Earthly Branch Ten Rooster,Earthly Branch Eleven Dog,Earthly Branch Twelve Pig.Thus the zi year is the Year of the Rat,and the chou Year is the year of the Ox,and the yin Year is the Year of the Year of

Tiger,etc.Therefore,when a person is born,he has an animal as his aymbolic animal.The year2002was a renwu year under lunar calendar,also the year of Horse,and so children born in this yea are all Horse babies.

Even though the Chinese people now number the years and their age under the Gregorian calendar,the still continue to use the symbolic animals.As long as people know a person'probable age and his symbolic animao,people can infer his exact age and year of birth.

小孩儿满月与抓周

在中国,小孩儿的满月酒和抓周仪式独具特色。在孩子的成长过程中,这两个仪式有里程碑式的纪念意义。

小孩儿出生满一个月的那天,孩子的家人一般要招呼亲朋挚友,邀请他们一起来庆祝孩子满月。按照中国的传统,这一天,家里会充满了喜庆和节日的氛围,满月就要办得热热闹闹才行。不过最近这些年,这个习俗在城市尤其是年轻夫妇中有逐渐被淡化的趋势。但是,小孩儿满月对于每个家庭来说,仍然是一个非常值得纪念的高兴的日子。

“抓周儿”中的“周”是小孩儿满一周岁的意思。关于“抓周儿”,最早记载于北齐。“抓周儿”也就是在小孩儿满周岁那天,吃中午的长寿面之前,摆上经书、笔、墨、纸、砚、算盘、钱币、账册、首饰、花朵、胭脂、吃食、玩具等,如果是女孩儿则要加摆铲子、勺子(炊具)、剪子、尺子(缝纫用具)、绣线、花样子(刺绣用具),再由大人将小孩抱来,令其端坐,父母及他人不给予任何的引导或暗示,任孩子随意挑选,看他先抓什么,后抓什么,并以此为依据来预测孩子可能存在的志趣和将从事的职业以及前途。

One-Month-Old Feast and One-Year-Old Catch(zhuazhou)of babies

In China,One-Month-Old Feast and One-Year-Old Catch of a baby are of unique Chinese characteristics.These two ceremonies are milestone-like significance in the growing process of a baby.

On the day when a baby is a month old,the family of the baby will invite their friends and relatives to a ceremony to celebrate the occasion.In a traditional

One-Month-Old Ceremony,there will be a rejoicing and festive atmosphere in the family and the feast is supposed to be lively and joyful.However,in recent years this custom has been gradually abandoned among young

people.Nevertheless,One-Month-Old Feast still remains a memorable and happy moment for every family.

婚礼

结婚是人生中的一件大事。传统的中式婚礼古朴而又热闹,隆重、喜庆并且礼节周全,场面的铺陈颇具特色,不过在现代,尤其是在城市里,已经很少见了。

花轿是传统婚礼的核心内容之一。结婚时,新娘要坐在花轿里从娘家被抬到男方家中。花轿一般分四人抬,八人抬两种,又有“龙轿”“凤轿”之分。除去轿夫之外,还有持笙锣、伞、扇等的随行人员,一般的轿队少则十几人,多则几十人,很是壮观。传统的中式婚礼中,新娘要蒙着红盖头,在伴娘的伴随下,由新郎手持的大红绸牵着,慢慢地登上花轿。在新娘成花轿去往男方家里的途中,颠花轿是必不可少的热闹场面。轿夫一起左摇右摆使花轿不稳,新娘坐在里面也是左摇右晃。有的时候,新郎甚至不得不代替新娘或者和新娘一起向众人抱拳施礼求饶,而这个时候,众人欢笑不止,实际上是为了增添新人成婚之日的喜庆气氛。

中式传统婚礼的最重要的部分便是拜堂成亲。新人走到天地桌前,上面摆放有装满粮食的斗,斗的四周写上“金玉满斗”四个大字,以红纸封口,斗内四角放若干硬币,以供拜完天地后看热闹的亲朋好友掏出来求取吉利之意。斗中要插一柏枝,枝上缀有铜钱,这个柏枝便被称作“摇钱树”。斗旁放一杆秤、一面镜、织布机杼、一灯或一蜡烛。新郎在右,新娘在左,并肩站在天地桌前,执事人高声喊道:“一拜天地,二拜高堂,夫妻对拜”。民间的说法认为,男女只有在拜过天地后才能算作是正式夫妻,因此对这个拜堂的仪式非常重

视。还有民间习俗有这样有趣的研究,即如果新郎在结婚的当天因故不能拜天地,就让他的姐妹抱只公鸡来代替。

坐完花轿、拜完天地、接下来新人要入洞房了。洞房是一直延续下来的叫法,新人入了洞房以后,按照习俗,新郎新娘的同辈亲友聚集在洞房里,对新郎新娘开一些充满暗示的玩笑。这时即便过头一点,新郎新娘也不会生气,而是想办法巧妙化解,因为亲朋好友闹洞房图的是高兴和热闹。

Wedding

Marriage is the most important thing in the life.In China,a traditional wedding is simple and lively,ceremonious,and joyful.There are some unique features in this ceremony,but in modern society,especially in the city,it is hardly seen any more.

The bridal sedan is the core of the traditional wedding.In wedding,the bride should sit in the sedan,then be lifted from her mother's home to her husband'

home.Generally,there are two kinds of sedan,that is,four-lifter and eight-lifter,also divided into"dragon sedan"and"phoenix sedan".There are so many suites who

hold gongs,umbrellas,fans and so on,besides lifters,In group,there are more than ten people at least,and the occasion is very magnificent.In a traditional

weddin,accompanied with a bridesmaid,the bride wearing a red veil and

led along by the bridesgroom who holds a red silk in his hand,enters the bridal sedan.On the way to the husband's home,lifters jolt the sedan as it is necessary in a joyful wedding.Lifters swing the sedan from left to right,causing the bride to sit unsteadily inside.Some times the bridegroom has to substitute for his bride or beg to everyone else,while,all laugh to adding to the jubilance.

The wedding ceremony is the most important part of a traditional Chinese wedding.The newlyweds go to the table for heaven and earth where there is a dou(a kind of basket)full of grain.The dou is written with red paper.There are many coins placed in the four corners of the dou to provide the"luck"meaning to the guests.There is a cypress branch,called"ready source of money",decorated with copper coins.Besides,one steelyard,a mirror,a loom,alamp or a candle are also placed near the dou.Afterwards,the groom stand on the left side,the bride right by his side,while the director prompts,"First bow to the heaven and

earth;second bow to the parents;third bow to each other".According to the folk saying,they will not be the formal couple until bowing to the heaven and earth.As a result,people pay a great attention to this ceremony.An interesting custom is that if the groom cannot come to this ceremony,he should ask his sister to hold a cock instead.

After taking the bridal sedan,bowing to the heaven,it's time for the newlyweds to go to the bridal chamber.According to custom,their relatives and friends get together in the bridal chamber to banter the newly weds.At this time,the newlyweds will never get angry enven if the teasing games are a bit outrageous,but will try to skillfully dissolve since the relatives and friends intend to delight them.

旗袍与中国传统服饰

旗袍源自清代满族女性服饰,被誉为中国传统服饰文化的典范。它不仅在整体造型的风格方面符合中国文化和谐的特点,而且它的装饰手法也展现着浓

厚的东方特质。另外,穿旗袍可以增加形体的修长感,配上中高跟鞋,更可以抬升人体的重心,将东方女性的端庄、典雅和含蓄的美展露出来。因此旗袍在中国民族服装中独领风骚,久盛而不衰。

中国男子的传统服饰比较有代表性的为长袍、马褂,长袍和马褂都是满族男子的服装,盘领、窄袖,马褂是对襟,大都有马蹄袖,长袍为大襟。也有马褂、长袍相连的两部形式,这种形式的长袍只有下半截,连扣在马褂的内下摆。长袍马褂给人的感觉是既不乏庄重,又显得洒脱和舒适。

2001年APEC会议各国元首穿着“唐装”集体亮相,掀起了一股以穿“唐装”为时尚的风潮。将“唐装”作为中式服装的通称,主要因为国外都称华人居住的地方为“唐人街”,所以“唐人”作为中式服装的通称,主要是因为国外都称华人居住的地方为“唐人街”,所以“唐人”穿的衣服自然就叫做“唐装”了。当今的“唐装”是由清代的马褂演变而来的,它的款式结构有四大特点:一是立领,上衣前中心开口,立式领型;二是连袖,即袖子和衣服整体没有接缝,以平面裁剪为主;三是对襟,也可以是斜襟;四是直角扣,也就是盘扣;另外从面料来说,则主要使用织锦缎面料等。

另外,中国不动地域和不同民族的服饰也各有特色。比如,肚兜就是关中和陕北的传统的贴身服饰,肚兜的形状就像背心的前襟,上面用布带系在脖颈上,下面两边各有一条带子系在腰间,它可以避免肚子受凉,夏天时儿童穿在外面也显得天真烂漫。在儿童穿的肚兜上尝尝绣有虎头像和“五毒”图案,给予了大人希望孩子健康成长的美好祝愿。再比如,中国少数民族彝族的服饰也很有特点。彝族妇女的头饰大致有缠头、包帕、绣花帽三类,其中红河

地区妇女的头饰更是琳琅满目,以银饰为贵为美。披风是彝族男女皆备的特色服装,以动物皮毛、毛麻织品和草编织制品为原料,以青、蓝二色为主。

Cheong-Sam and Traditional Chinese Costumes

The cheong-sam has its origin in the Manchu female's costumes in the Qing Dynasty and has been regarded as the model of Chinese traditional habilatory culture.As for the reason,the cheong-sam not only accords withe the characteristic of harmony within Chinese culture in terms of the style,but also shows rich oriental idiosyncracy with regard to ornamental techniques.In addition,the cheong-samwill give more pominence to a lady's

slender figure,and also help to heighten the center of gravity of human bodies together withe high-heel shoes,so taht civility,elegance and dignety will be fully displayde.Therefore,the cheong-sam developed its own trend,which has been long lasting.

As for the traditional clothes of Chinese men,the long gown and mandarin jacket are typical.Both of them have roundnecks and narrow sleeves.The mandarin jacket can be seen as a kind of Chinese-style jacket with buttons down the front, mostly with sleeves like a horse's hoof.However,the front of long gowns,with buttons on the right,is basically large.There is also a type of garment combining the long gown and the mandarin jacket,and they will only have the under-half part,buttoning in the under lap of the mandarin jacket.The long gown and mandarin jacket will giver the impression of comfortableness and ease as well as sobriety.

In2001,the presidents struck a pose on the stage in Chinese style costumes at the APEC Forum,and thus a trend of wearing Chinese style costumes came into being.The very reason why clothing with Chinese style has been labeled as Chinses-style costumes is that the place where overseas Chinesd reside in has been called"Chinese town"and consequently the cosstumes which the Chinese wear are called Chinese style costumes.Current Chinese-style costumes were transformed from the mandarin jacket of the Qing Dynasty,and there are four major characteristics in terms of design.First,Chinese-style costumes have a stand-up collar and buttons in very middle of the front of the jacket;second,there is no seam between sleeves ande jacket;third,the costumes are jackets with buttons down the front or in diagonal way;last,they have right-angled buttons.In addition,with regard to the outside material,Chinese costumes are mostly made with silk.

Moreover,the feature of clothing varies with areas and nationalities.For instance, hte bellyband is the traditional close-fitting costume in Central China and north of Shanxi.The bellyband is just like the front of vest with a lace tying to the neck and it an prevent children from catching a cold.The children's wearing of bellyband will also show their naivety.Most bellybands willl be embroidered with the pattern of atiger head and the"Five Poisons",which contain a parents'nice expectation of wishing their children health.To take the costumes of the YiNationality as another example,they are rather distinctive with three types of women's had wears including decorating brocade round the head and acap with an embroiderde case.Especially in the area of Honghe,women's head wears are full of beautiful colors and styles.They prefer silver ornaments to show their riches and

beauty.However,the manteau can be regarded as the distinctive costumes for all people of the YiNationality,which are mostly made of fur,delaine,hemp and straw and whose colors are mainly cyan and blue.

老鼠为什么怕猫

在古代,人们使用十二地支来给时辰命名的。但是地支的名称很古怪,人们总是记不住,所以引起了许多麻烦。玉皇大帝就想出了一个办法,准备选十二种动物,用它们和十二地支相配,帮助人们记忆。但天下的动物太多了,怎么选呢?玉皇大帝定了一个日子,让动物们自己去天庭报名,前十二种动物将被选上。动物们很兴奋,都希望自己是十二个幸运的动物中的一个。

猫和老鼠是邻居,又是好朋友,它们也想去报名。可是猫总爱睡懒觉,它怕自己起不来,就让老鼠第二天叫自己起床。第二天早晨,老鼠早早地就醒了,可是它忘了叫醒猫,就急急忙忙出发了。走到半路时,一头牛从后面赶上了老鼠。你的个子大,步子也大,它每走一步,老鼠得跑好几步。老鼠心想:“路还远着呢,我都快跑不动了,必须想个办法才行。”它就对老牛说:“牛大哥,我给你唱支个歌吧,这样走路会轻松些。”老牛说:“好呀。”老鼠就唱了起来,可是牛什么也没听见,还问:“你怎么不唱?”老鼠说:“我在唱呢,你没听见吗?哦,可能是因为我个子太小,离你的耳朵太远,你才没听见。如果我骑在你的脖子上,你就听得见了。”老牛说:“好主意。”于是,老鼠就爬到了牛脖子上唱起来:“牛大哥牛大哥,过小河爬山坡,要问世上谁最棒?牛大哥和我——”老牛一听,跑得更快了。它们跑到天庭门口时,看见谁也没来,牛高兴地叫起来:“我第一!我第一!”

牛还没说完,老鼠就已经从牛身上滑下来,先一步占到了牛的前面。就这样,老鼠的了第一名,牛排在了第二名。不久,其他的动物也一个一个到了,它们是:虎、兔、龙、蛇、马、羊、猴、鸡、狗和猪。

老鼠高高兴兴地回到家后,这才想起好朋友猫。它跑到猫的家里一看,猫还在睡大觉呢。猫没有被选上,气坏了。从这以后,猫一见老鼠就咬,老鼠也总是怕看见猫。

对话

孙静怡:我给你出一个谜语,请你猜一猜:“全国十二个,人人有一个,外国不曾有,请问是什么?”

玛丽亚:外国没有,中国有,这我可猜不出来,我是外国人啊!

孙静怡:这是日本前首相田中角荣访问中国时,给周恩来总理出过的一个谜语。当时周恩来听了哈哈大笑,回答说:“十二生肖。”

玛丽亚:说到生肖,我正好有个问题要问你。你说这十二生肖到底是怎么来的呢?

孙静怡:这个中国古代历法有关系。你知道地支吗?

玛丽亚:听说过,它是中国古代的纪年方式,可是和动物有什么关系呢?

孙静怡:古代的人们想记住自己的出生年份,可是那些地址的名字太麻烦,所以就找比较形象的东西来帮助记忆,最后想到用十二种动物代表十二个地支。每年用一种动物做代表。顺序就是:子鼠、丑牛、寅虎、卯兔、辰龙、巳蛇、午马、未羊、申猴、酉鸡、戌狗、亥猪。也就是说,子年出生的人,都属鼠,丑年出生的人都属牛……据说什么年出生的人就有这种动物的一些特点,这十二种动物就叫做十二生肖,也叫十二属相。

玛丽亚:这个办法不错,要是我,怎么也不可能记住那些复杂的名称。

孙静怡:是啊,用可爱的动物来代表年份,容易记住,也比较有趣,所以这种习俗到现在还有。

玛丽亚:我有一个问题:中国人大都觉得猫很可爱,可为什么在十二生肖里却没有猫呢?

孙静怡:一种说法是因为古代还没有人们喜爱的家猫,所以人们没有想到用猫做属相;还有一种说法就是来自于你看到的那个老鼠怕猫的故事。

玛丽亚:我觉得那个故事挺有意思。那十二个动物的顺序是怎么决定的呢?孙静怡:有一种比较常见的说法就是:古人把一天二十四个小时分成了十二个时辰,每个时辰相当于现在的两小时,每个时辰也用地支来表示,比如夜里十一点到一点是子时,中午十一点到一点是午时。每个时辰最适合某一种动物活动,所以就有了这十二种动物的先后顺序。

玛丽亚:这十二种动物中,哪个最好?是龙吗?因为我发现中国人很喜欢龙。

孙静怡:其实没有好与坏,因为它们各有各的特点。

玛丽亚:可是我听很多人在找对象的时候还要看是不是属相相配。

孙静怡:那都是迷信的说法。还有人说“本命年”里的人会倒霉什么的。

玛丽亚:对,我也听说过,这是真的吗?

孙静怡:那也是迷信。不过民间的确有这种说法,所以许多人在本命年要系红色的腰带,或者穿红色的袜子什么的。

玛丽亚:为什么都用红色的呢?

孙静怡:红色对于中国人有着特别的意义,那就是象征吉祥和幸福。比如结婚是新娘穿的衣服,门上贴的双喜字什么的,都是红色的。所以本命年里的人也爱穿戴些红色东西。当然,有很多人根本不信这个,可是他们也喜欢这样做,因为觉得有意思。

玛丽亚:我也觉得有这样一种习俗挺有意思的。生活嘛,应该丰富多彩。明年是我爸爸的本命年,我准备送他一条红腰带,就是不知道他信不信。

孙静怡:信不信没关系,但是他一定会喜欢,因为那代表了你的一份孝心。补充阅读

中国一些传统文化的英文介绍

一、过年由来- - 中国古时侯有一种叫”年”的怪兽,头长尖角,凶猛异常,”年”兽长年深居海底,每到除夕,爬上岸来吞食牲畜伤害人命,因此每到除夕,村村寨寨的人们扶老携幼,逃往深山,以躲避”年”的伤害.今年的除夕,乡亲们都忙着收拾东西逃往深山,这时候村东头来了一个白发老人对一户老婆婆说只要让他在她家住一晚,他定能将”年”兽驱走.众人不信,老婆婆劝其还是上山躲避的好,老人坚持留下,众人见劝他不住,便纷纷上山躲避去了.当”年”兽象往年一样准备闯进村肆虐的时候,突然传来白发老人燃响的爆竹声,”年”兽混身颤栗,再也不敢向前凑了,原来”年”兽最怕红色,火光和炸响.这时大门大开,只见院内一位身披红袍的老人哈哈大笑,”年”兽大惊失色,仓惶而逃。第二天,当人们从深山回到村里时,发现村里安然无恙,这才恍然大悟,原来白发老人是帮助大家驱逐”年”兽的神仙,人们同时还发现了白发老人驱逐”年”兽的三件法宝.从此,每年的除夕,家家都贴红对联,燃放爆竹,户户灯火通明,守更待岁.这风俗越传越广,成了中国民间最隆重的传统节日”过年”. 土家族民间体育活动之一--舞龙灯 二、舞龙灯的意义 舞龙灯,是中华民族的传统文化活动,各民族都有舞龙灯的习俗,传说,土家族在很早以前没有舞龙习惯。有一年,久旱不雨,禾苗枯黄,溪河断流,来了一位能算天气晴雨阴旱、人间祸福的鬼谷先生,对土家人说:“大家不要愁,今天午后未时排云,戌时下雨,城内下三分,城外下七分”。他这话,被治水的金勾老龙听到后心想,凡间有如此能人还要我管什么水?!顿生嫉妒,便赌气将玉皇大帝命他在城内城外的下雨量倒改过来分。结果,倾盆大雨,水淹城内,房屋倒塌,淹死了许多人这事被当坊土地向玉皇大帝启奏后,玉皇大帝把金勾老龙打入天牢,七天后斩首示众。观音菩萨知道此事向玉皇大帝求情保救老龙。没待观音开口,玉皇大帝就放阴剑把金勾老龙斩成九节。此后,鬼谷先生又来对土家人说:“老龙被斩,是和我赌气而丧命,但他对民间做了不少好事,他死了,你们要为他烧点香纸。”于是,土家人就制作九节金龙,到各村寨起舞,叫人们敬奉,求老龙保佑风调雨顺,五谷丰登。久之,舞龙亦成为土家族的传统习俗。但是,土家舞龙,在城镇是舞全国各地大同小异的布扎龙,在土家山寨舞龙与各地有别,其自成特色。 三、清明节的由来 我国传统的清明节大约始于周代,已有二千五百多年的历史。清明最开始是一个很重要的节气,清明一到,气温升高,正是春耕春种的大好时节,故有“清明前后,种瓜种豆”。“植树造林,莫过清明”的农谚。后来,由于清明与寒食的日子接近,而寒食是民间禁火扫墓的日子,渐渐的,寒食与清明就合二为一了,而寒食既成为清明的别称,也变成为清明时节的一个习俗,清明之日不动烟火,只吃凉的食品。 关于寒食,有这样一个传说: 相传春秋战国时代,晋献公的妃子骊姬为了让自己的儿子奚齐继位,就设毒

中国文化常识中英文对照

十二属相 中国民间有一个传统习俗,人一出生,就有一种动物做他的属相。属相,也叫“生肖”,是中国民间传统的纪年和计算年龄的方法。 中国古代的纪年法是帝王年号与“干支”并用,其中“干支纪年法”从史书上有明文记载的公元前841年(庚申年),一直沿用到现在。“干”是“天干”,有十个字组成,这十个字是:甲、乙、丙、丁、戊、己、庚、辛、壬、癸。“支”是“地支”,由十二个字组成,这十二个字是:子、丑、寅、卯、辰、巳、午、未、申、酉、戌、亥。把天干的十个字和地支的十二个字按顺序配合起来,可以得到60种排列,如:甲子、乙丑、丙寅……这60种排列周而复始,循环使用,每六十年叫做“一个甲子”。如公历的2001年,是农历的辛巳年,公历的2002年,是农历的壬午年;而六十年后,2061年又是辛巳年,2062年又是壬午年。从东汉(25——220)时开始,人们又用鼠、牛、虎、兔、龙、蛇、马、羊、猴、鸡、狗、猪12种动物来配十二地支,组成了十二生肖,也叫十二属相。这就是子鼠、丑牛、寅虎、卯兔、辰龙、巳蛇、午马、未羊、申猴、酉鸡、戌狗、亥猪。这样,子年是鼠年,丑年是牛年,寅年是虎年……于是,每个人一出生,就有一种动物作他的属相。子年出生的属鼠,丑年出生的属牛,寅年出生的属虎,以此类推。 现在,中国人在用公历纪年和计算年龄的同时,仍然习惯用属相纪年和推算年龄。

中国古代文化常识之——天文历法(整理精校版)

中国古代文化常识之——天文历法 作文辅导 1207 0018 : 【星宿】宿(xiu),古代把星座称作星宿。《范进中举》:“如今却做了老爷,就是天上的星宿。”“天上的星宿是打不得的。”古人认为人间有功名的人是天上星宿降生的,这是迷信说法。 【二十八宿】又叫二十八舍或二十八星,是古人为观测日、月、五星运行而划分的二十八个星区,用来说明日、月、五星运行所到的位置。每宿包含若干颗恒星。二十八宿的名称,自西向东排列为:东方苍龙七宿(角、亢kang、氐di、房、心、尾、箕);北方玄武七宿(斗、牛、女、虚、危、室、壁);西方白虎七宿(奎、娄、胃、昴mao、毕、觜zT、参shen);南方朱雀七宿(井、鬼、柳、星、张、翼、轸zhen)。唐代温庭筠的《太液池歌》:“夜深银汉通柏梁,二十八宿朝玉堂。”夸饰地描写星光灿烂、照耀宫阙殿堂的景象。王勃《滕王阁序》:“物华天宝,龙光射斗牛之墟。”是说物产华美有天然的珍宝,龙泉剑光直射斗宿、牛宿的星区。刘禹锡诗:“鼙鼓夜闻惊朔雁,旌旗晓动拂参星。”形容雄兵出师惊天动地的场面,参星即参宿。 【四象】参见“二十八宿”条。古人把东、北、西、南四方每一方的七宿想象为四种动物形象,叫作四象。东方七宿如同飞舞在春天夏初夜空的巨龙,故而称为东官苍龙;北方七宿似蛇、龟出现在夏天秋初的夜空,故而称为北官玄武;西方七宿犹猛虎跃出深秋初冬的夜空,故而称为西官白虎;南方七宿像一展翅飞翔的朱雀,出现在寒冬早春的夜空,故而称为南官朱雀。 【分野】古代占星家为了用天象变化来占卜人间的吉凶祸福,将天上星空区域与地上的国州互相对应,称作分野。具体说就是把某星宿当作某封国的分野,某星宿当作某州的分野,或反过来把某国当作某星宿的分野,某州当作某星宿的分野。如王勃《滕王阁序》:“豫章故郡,洪都新府。星分翼轸,地接衡庐。”是说江西南昌地处翼宿、轸宿分野之内。李白《蜀道难》:“扪参历井仰胁息,以手抚膺坐长叹。”参宿是益州(今四川)的分野,井宿是雍州(今陕西、甘肃大部)的分野,蜀道跨益、雍二州。扪参历井是说入蜀之路在益、雍两州极高的山上,人们要仰着头摸着天上的星宿才能过去。 二十八宿与国分野如下 星宿角亢氐房心尾箕斗牛女虚危室壁奎娄胃昴毕觜参井鬼柳星张翼轸 国郑宋燕越吴齐卫鲁魏赵秦周楚 星宿角亢氐房心尾箕斗牛女虚危室壁奎娄胃昴毕觜参井鬼柳星张翼轸 州兖州豫州幽州江湖扬州青州并州徐州冀州益州雍州三河荆州 【昴宿】西方白虎七宿的第四宿,由七颗星组成,又称旄头(旗头的意思)。唐代李贺诗“秋静见旄头”,旄头指昴宿。唐代卫象诗“辽东老将鬓有
