1 中国是一个拥有56个民族和丰富文化遗产的国家。在所有的公众节日中，以下是在中国最受大众欢迎的几个。参考译文中国的公众节日

2 国庆节（10月1日）是中华人民共和国成立纪念日，也是中国最重要的大众节日。参考译文中国的公众节日

3 这一天，举国欢庆，全国上下洋溢着喜悦的气氛。在大城市，人们身着节日的盛装涌向大街、广场和公园欢度节日。主要街道和公共建筑都用旗帜和鲜花装饰。夜晚这些地方一片灯火辉煌。人们燃放烟花，载歌载舞；戏剧舞台、荧幕上和电视荧屏上的节目更是精彩纷呈，令人目不暇接；各种聚会和展出使得全国上下要忙碌好几天。

参考译文中国的公众节日

4 国庆节之后也有两个重要的节日：两个新年；一个依据格里阳历，一个依据中国传统的阴历。第一个新年在1911年被正式确立，但在中国这一天也仅仅是被当作行政意义上的新年。而传统的新年尽管很久以前就被重命名为“春节”，但在中国却是情感意义和文化意义上的真正新年。

参考译文中国的公众节日

5 在重要性和欢庆程度方面，阳历新年较传统新年而言要逊色很多。在这个为期一天的国定假日里，几乎没有那种称之为振奋人心的庆祝活动。这只是可以上演新的戏剧、电影和电视节目的时机，只是一个举办婚礼的好日子。除此以外，这不过是一个普通的假日。对很多人来说，这一天不过是一个额外的星期天。

参考译文中国的公众节日

6 而阴历新年（春节）早已在无数中国人心中和生活中根深蒂固，是节日中的重要节日。这是一个家庭团圆、祈祷祝福、表达感谢、展望未来以及尽情欢乐的时刻。尽管官方规定春节只有三天，但春节的庆祝活动一般在一月底或二月初开始，并持续将近一个月，从节前十天开始到节后的半个月左右结束。在寒冷的天气里开始新的一年的历史原因是介于“秋收冬藏”和“春耕夏种”的时期。换句话说，这是经过一年的劳作后的休息和放松，也是庆祝。

参考译文中国的公众节日

7 除夕夜和初一的庆祝活动达到了节日的高潮，在热闹喧嚣的锣鼓声和鞭炮声中，盛宴不断，欢乐不断。大人们忙于奔赴新年的盛宴聚会和互通电话问候新年；而孩子们则享受着各种春节娱乐活动如烟花和灯展，狮子舞以及其它民间表演和庙会等等。此时，不惜一切使得庆祝活动欢快而难以忘怀。

参考译文中国的公众节日

8 当阴历作为一个计时系统实际上已经被阳历所取代时，传统新年似乎应该补充新的活力来保持蓬勃发展，但这一点让人感觉诧异。就节日的庆祝程度而言，任何其它的公众节日都无法与这两个新年相比。尽管妇女节（3月8日）、青年节（5月4日），儿童节（6月1日）以及最近确立的重阳节（阴历9月初9）也得到了全社会的关注，但这些毕竟都是特定人群的节日。中国共产党成立纪念日（7月1日）和建军节（8月1日）也是很重要的节日，但与其说它们是公众节日倒不如说它们是纪念日。

参考译文中国的公众节日

9 在许多较为次要的传统节日中，中秋节可能是最受大众欢迎的节日。这个节日在中国有着2000年的历史。阴历八月十五标志着秋天的中间。中秋节的传统食品是月饼。可以用月饼做礼品或用月饼搭建一所房子。拜月也是一种习俗，通常向月亮供奉水果。妇女站在月光下渴望能怀孕的希望成真。这个节日也是家人团聚享受天伦之乐的时刻。在中秋夜，家人和朋友聚在一起，在美好的月色下边吃月饼边赏满月。

参考译文中国的公众节日

10 在中国每个民族和宗教团体都有自己特殊的节日，比如说傣族的泼水节和穆斯林的古尔邦节。这些特殊的节日也是这些民族和宗教团体的文化和精神生活的重要组成部分。参考译文中国的公众节日

11 在文化大革命时期这些节日庆典活动被突然神秘地取消之前，许多节日已经保留了几千年。尽管传统的中国节日庆祝活动愚昧地减少了，但当你与中国人交谈时，99%的谈话仍然都是有关中国传统节日的话题。

参考译文中国的公众节日

12 如今，除了暑假和寒假之外，中国孩子每年只有在十个国定节假日可以不用上学，但也还有很多民间节日，全国各地的重视程度不同。中国是一个农业大国，因此大多数中国传统民间节日都以阴历为依据，这也不足为奇。
