热点04 法定假日及传统节日

法定节假日，一般是指根据各国、各民族的风俗习惯或纪念要求，由国家法律统一规定的用以进行庆祝及度假的休息时间。法定节假日制度是国家政治、经济、文化制度的重要反映，涉及经济社会的多个方面，涉及广大人民群众的切身利益。
法定节假日的休假安排，为居民出行、购物和休闲提供了时间上的便利，为拉动内需、促进经济增长做出了积极贡献。2019年8月2日，人社部发布《我国法定年节假日等休假相关标准》明确，休息日、法定年节假日、年休假、探亲假、婚丧假五类休假标准。其中，现行法定年节假日标准为11天。全体公民放假的节日是新年放假1天；春节放假3天；清明节放假1天；劳动节放假1天；端午节放假1天；中秋节放假1天；国庆节放假3天。探亲假未婚职工每年1次，假期20天；已婚职工每4年1次，假期20天。
中国传统节日，是中华民族悠久历史文化的重要组成部分，形式多样、内容丰富。传统节日的形成，是一个民族或国家的历史文化长期积淀凝聚的过程。中华民族的古老传统节日，涵盖了原始信仰、祭祀文化、天文历法、易理术数等人文与自然文化内容，蕴含着深邃丰厚的文化内涵。从远古先民时期发展而来的中华传统节日，不仅清晰地记录着中华民族先民丰富而多彩的社会生活文化内容，也积淀着博大精深的历史文化内涵。
中国的传统节日主要有：春节（农历正月初一）；元宵节（农历正月十五）；龙抬头（农历二月初二）、社日节（农历二月初二）；上巳节（农历三月初三） ；寒食节（冬至后的105或106天）；清明节（公历4月5日后）；端午节（农历五月初五）；七夕节（农历七月初七）；中元节（农历七月十五）；中秋节（农历八月十五）；重阳节（农历九月初九）；下元节（农历十月十五）；冬至节（公历12月21~23日）；除夕（农历十二月廿九或三十） 等。另外，二十四节气当中，也有个别既是自然节气点也是传统节日，如：清明、冬至等，这些节日兼具自然与人文两大内涵，它们既是自然节气点，也是传统节日。
大部分节日习俗在上古时代，就已初露端倪， 但是其中风俗内容的丰富与流行，经过一个漫长的发展过程。民俗节日来自于人文与自然文化，最早的风俗活动是和原始崇拜、祭祀文化有关。每个传统节日有每个节日的活动载体，诸如灯会、扒龙舟、拜神祭祖等等。大部分传统节日形成于上古时代，先秦时期由于南北风俗各异，南北各地的风俗尚未融合普及，很多古已有之的节俗活动在中原文献鲜有记载。汉代是中国统一后第一个大发展时期，南北的经济文化交流使风俗习惯也互相融合，这对节日习俗的传播普及提供了良好的社会条件。汉后南北文化上的交流使节俗融合传播，主要的传统节日都已经普及到全国各地。节日发展到唐代，已经从原始祭拜严肃的气氛中转为娱乐礼仪型，从此节日变得丰富多彩，许多体育、享乐的活动内容出现，并很快成为一种时尚流行开来，这些风俗一直延续发展，经久不衰。唐代是传统节日习俗揉合定型的重要时期，其主体部分传承。在历史演变中，由于朝代更迭、历法变动，有些节日在日期上古今不同。
中国是礼仪之邦，仪式表达着中国人对事物重要性、价值性的认同，没有仪式感的节日难以让人们对节日产生心理上的认同和依从，而仪式本身又是让人参与进来的重要方式。一系列依次展开的程序，代表着节日文化内涵的逐层展示，也是让心灵参与其中审美的过程。在这样一套看似繁琐的仪式里，人们的情感得到表达和宣泄，节日的文化内涵和意义也得到彰显和传承。仪式让传统节日变得庄重，富有意义，为生活增添了趣味和价值。通过举办仪式，人们可以领略到人生的美好、自然的瑰丽，人性的善良，感受到对生命的虔诚和更高层次的精神享受。仪式感让节日成为节日，能唤醒人们内心对于节日的尊重。（来源：百度百科）

Kwanzaa (宽扎节) is a celebration of African-American history and culture. It begins on December 26th and runs until New Year’s Day, January 1st.
During the festival, a family member, usually the youngest child, lights candles in a special candle holder. Each night a candle is lit. Traditionally there are three green candles, three red candles and a central black candle. They represent the seven Kwanzaa principles (原则). The principles are believed to play a big role in building strong, successful families, neighborhoods, etc. In the evenings, adults share stories and explain how to follow the seven principles in daily life. On the sixth day, which falls on New Year’s Eve, family and friends get together to enjoy a large meal.
Kyle, a third grader, wrote this about Kwanzaa, “When we celebrate Kwanzaa, we have many people at home, light the candles, and have a nice dinner. We learn the meaning of Kwanzaa and remember family members. We say something good about them. Last year, we remembered my grandmother.”
In 1966, Dr. Karenga created Kwanzaa. He was studying the history of Africa at that time. Dr. Karenga wanted to create a holiday to bring African Americans together and celebrate their history and culture. He called the holiday “Kwanzaa”. In fact, the name comes from an African language, and it means “the first fruits of the harvest time”.

“A drizzling rain falls like tears on the Mourning Day/The mourner’s heart is going to break on his way”, it is from a poem about Tomb Sweeping Day, also known as the Qingming Festival. It falls on the 4th or 5th of April each year. It’s the traditional Chinese festival to remember the dead. Chinese people all come home to visit the tombs (墓) of their parents, grandparents and ancestors (祖先). They will sweep the tombs and clean away the grass around them. Then they burn paper money and put flowers and fruit in front of the tombs. They hope the dead can enjoy them and bring the family good luck.
However, not only Chinese remember the dead. People in other countries also have festivals for the dead.
In Japan, O-Bon Festival (盂兰盆节) is one of the most important festivals. It is held from August 13 to 16. It is also a holiday that serves as a family reunion（相聚）. During O-Bon, Japanese people return to their hometown and visit their ancestors’ spirits return home to be reunited with their family. People perform a “bon odori” dance (盆舞) to welcome the spirits. On the last day of O-Bon, they put paper lanterns in a river to send off the spirits.
In Russia, people remember their ancestors on the Day of Rejoicing (欣喜). It’s usually in late April or early May. The name of this festival means birth and happiness. Russians believe that people shouldn’t feel sad for the dead because death means birth in another world. On the Day of Rejoicing, Russian people draw beautiful pictures on eggs and put them in front of tombs. After that they have a picnic together. They hope for a good life for both the living and the dead.
6. What do we know about Tomb Sweeping Day and O-Bon Festival?

8. What does the story mainly talk about?
A. Meanings of remembering the dead. B. Importance of remembering the dead.
C. Festivals to remember the dead. D. Meanings of death in different countries.

Carnival (狂欢节) is the most famous holiday in Brazil. It is not about an important time in history or about a famous person, but it is important for the people because it’s a time of friendship, freedom, and almost a whole week without work. People can have parties or have a rest, and most people choose parties, day after day, night after night.
It starts forty days before Easter (复活节). It lasts four days and four nights. It starts on Saturday and finishes on Wednesday. People wear their colourful clothes and go out into the streets or to the clubs. There are also groups of people who make a parade (游行) showing their music and cars. Every year the parade tells a different story. Each city has at least one group like this.
In the south, life returns to normal by Wednesday. However, it is not accepted by the church in the northwest, where Carnival is more common. There people don’t respect its end and continue to have parties until the next Sunday.
I like Carnival, but I don’t agree that the party should keep going on for so many days. Unfortunately, some people aren’t responsible and give it a bad name, and that makes people remember the bad things about this. However, it is the only national holiday that brings together the whole country and its different people and cultures.

A. Because it’s a time of friendship and freedom.
B. Because it’s about an important time in history.

Luosifen became the most popular Chinese New Year’s snack last year on Tmall and Taobao, as Chinese people prepare for a stay-at-home holiday because of the COVID-19 pandemic (新冠疫情).
On the traditional Laba Festival, Tmall and Taobao started a one-month-long “2022 Online Chinese New Year’s Goods Festival” to help people across the country easily buy some seasonal specials for the coming Spring Festival.
Traditionally, dried fruits, sweets, and pastries (糕点) are must-buy snacks for the Chinese New Year. But this year, Luosifen took their place. According to Tmall and Taobao, on the first day of the online festival, they sold Luosifen 15 times more than last year. The largest group of buyers was the post-90s.
Self-heating hot pot was only second to Luosifen on the most popular goods list by Tmall and Taobao. By Wednesday, nearly 200,000 buyers placed orders for these pots, compared to less than 20,000 last year.
Although people traditionally celebrate the Spring Festival by buying New Year’s goods, getting together and sending greetings, they may raise the risk of spreading the coronavirus, so the online Chinese New Year’s Goods Festival helps people have a happy Spring Festival at home.
