       大家好,欢迎来到碰词儿现场!咱们今天要谈论“春节”。
       春节是指汉字文化圈传统上的农历新年,俗称“年节”,传统名称为新年、大年、新岁,但口头上又称度岁、庆新岁、过年。春节是中国人最重要的节日,所有家庭成员聚在一起,远离家乡的人们也都会回家。

       春节有不少传统习俗。腊月23日,被称为小年。在这个时候,人们祭祀灶神。过了小年后,人们开始装饰房间,处处都洋溢着一种欢乐和喜庆的气氛。将所有的门板贴上春联,在红纸上写上对联。内容多是憧憬一个光明的未来,表达人们新年交好运的意愿。

       春节是中华民族最隆重的传统佳节,同时也是中国人情感得以释放、心理诉求得以满足的重要载体,是中华民族一年一度的狂欢节和永远的精神支柱。
