除夕是指农历年最后一天的晚上,也就是春节的前一天晚上,因常在腊月三十或二十九,故又称大年三十。除夕这一天对全球华人来说都是极为重要的。这一天人们准备除旧迎新,吃团圆饭,当晚往往通宵不眠,称之为守岁。有关守岁习俗的来历,在民间流传着一个有趣的故事:
太古时期,有一种凶猛的怪兽,散居在深山密林中,人们管它们叫“年”。它的形貌狰狞,生性凶残,专食飞禽走兽、鳞介虫豸,一天换一种口味,从磕头虫一直吃到大活人,让人谈“年”色变。后来,人们慢慢掌握了“年”的`活动规律,它是每隔三百六十五天窜到人群聚居的地方,而且出没的时间都是在天黑以后。
算准了“年”肆虐的日期,百姓们便把这可怕的一夜视为关口来煞,称作“年关”,并且想出了一整套过年关的办法:每到这一天晚上,每家每户都提前做好晚饭,熄火净灶,再把鸡圈牛栏全部拴牢,把宅院的前后门都封住,躲在屋里吃“年夜饭”,由于这顿晚餐具有凶吉未卜的意味,所以置办得很丰盛,除了要全家老小围在一起用餐表示和睦团圆外,还须在吃饭前先供祭祖先,祈求祖先的神灵保佑,平安地度过这一夜,吃过晚饭后,谁都不敢睡觉,挤坐在一起闲聊壮胆。就逐渐形成了除夕熬年守岁的习惯。
在传说以外,据史料记载,除夕守岁始自南北朝时期。“岁”字在中国古代与“年”字相通用,岁即是年,年即是岁。据《说文解字》释,“年”,“谷熟也”。《谷梁传》中也说“五谷大熟为大有年”。就连甲骨文中的“年”字,亦是谷穗成熟的样子。因而,可以推断,“年”是丰收喜庆的日子,而过年则是对丰年的庆贺和祈祷。
此外,除夕夜还要举行踩岁活动,即在院内将芝麻秸粘上用黄纸卷成的元宝形,攒成一捆,谓之“聚宝盆”。然后,全家人用脚将其踩碎,以“碎”谐“岁”,并借用芝麻开花节节高之吉祥寓意,祝愿家道兴旺,表达对新的一年的祝福和祈盼。
Long, long ago, there were two brothers, the one rich and the other poor. When Christmas Eve came, the poor one had not a bite in the house, either of meat or bread; so he went to his brother, and begged him, in God's name, to give him something for Christmas Day. It was by no means the first time that the brother had been forced to give something to him, and he was not better pleased at being asked now than he generally was.
"If you will do what I ask you, you shall have a whole ham," said he. The poor one immediately thanked him, and promised this.
"Well, here is the ham, and now you must go straight to Dead Man's Hall," said the rich brother, throwing the ham to him.
"Well, I will do what I have promised," said the other, and he took the ham and set off. He went on and on for the livelong day, and at nightfall he came to a place where there was a bright light.
"I have no doubt this is the place," thought the man with the ham.
An old man with a long white beard was standing in the outhouse, chopping Yule logs.
"Good-evening," said the man with the ham.
"Good-evening to you. Where are you going at this late hour?" said the man.
"I am going to Dead Man's Hall, if only I am on the right track," answered the poor man.
"Oh! yes, you are right enough, for it is here," said the old man. "When you get inside they will all want to buy your ham, for they don't get much meat to eat there; but you must not sell it unless you can get the hand-mill which stands behind the door for it. When you come out again I will teach you how to stop the hand-mill, which is useful for almost everything."
So the man with the ham thanked the other for his good advice, and rapped at the door.
