23日将迎来传统佳节端午节。中科院紫金山天文台研究员王思潮表示,端午节始于春秋战国时期,至今已有2000多年历史。
春节、端午和中秋是民间传统的三大节日。端午节又叫端阳节、重午节。此外,端午节还有许多别称,如午日节、重五节、五月节、女儿节、天中节、诗人节、龙日等。王思潮介绍,“端”字有“初始”的意思,因此“端五”就是“初五”。而按照历法五月正是“午”月,因此“端五”也就渐渐演变成了现在的“端午”。《燕京岁时记》记载:“初五为五月单五,盖端字之转音也。”
关于端午节的起源、由来,版本很多,有纪念屈原说、纪念伍子胥说、纪念东汉孝女曹娥说等等,但以纪念屈原的说法流传最广。此说最早出自南朝梁代吴均《续齐谐记》和南朝宗懔《荆楚岁时记》。据说,屈原投汨罗江后,百姓们怕江河里的鱼吃掉他的身体,就纷纷回家拿来米团投入江中,以免鱼虾糟蹋屈原的尸体,后来就成了吃粽子的习俗。
^祝大家端午节快乐!^
