    日本的男童节和中国的端午节

          昨天上了日语口语课才知道原来这两个节日都是在五月初五,不过中国的是旧历,日本的是新历。在日本,家家户户都会在男童节上挂上鲤鱼旗。为什么是鲤鱼旗呢?因为鲤鱼会跳龙门,是一种很有元气的动物,所以日本人希望自己家的男孩子会像鲤鱼那样“元气爆发”。
        
          至于我们中国的端午节呢,当身为日本人的渡边老师问到“端午”是什么意思时居然无人会答,光是知道纪念屈原这个全世界都知道的典故,真是丢咱们中国人的脸……难道我们对传统文化竟如此的陌生么?回来后赶紧在网上找到答案后贴上:
         
          端午节,每年的农历五月初五本名端五节,又叫端阳节、重五节、重午节、天中节、天长节。端是"开端”、“初”的意思。初五可以称为端五。农历以地支纪月,正月建寅,二月为卯,顺次至五月为午,因此称五月为午月,五月初五就叫做端午。从史籍上看端午”二字最早见于晋代周处《风土记》:“仲夏端午,烹鹜角黍”。到了唐代,因唐玄宗八月五日生,宋景为了讨好皇帝,避"五”字的讳,将“端五”正式改为“端午”。
         
          老师又问了另一个问题,就是粽叶到底是什么叶?又是一片沉默……回来后一查才知道,广州的是箬叶,其他地方也有用竹叶,肇庆的裹蒸粽是荷叶。 
         
          还记得渡边老师说的一句话:“你们可是中国人哟!”真是丢脸死了……看来关于中国的传统文化我们真的应该好好地补一下课。
