牛年的英文手抄报

The celebration of the new year is the oldest of all holidays. It was first observed in ancient Babylon about 4000 years ago. In the years around 2000 BC, the Babylonian New Year began with the first New Moon (actually the first visible cresent) after the Vernal Equinox (first day of spring). The beginning of spring is a logical time to start a new year. After all, it is the season of rebirth, of planting new crops, and of blossoming. January 1, on the other hand, has no astronomical nor agricultural significance. It is purely arbitrary. The Babylonian new year celebration lasted for eleven days. Each day had its own particular mode of celebration, but it is safe to say that modern New Year's Eve festivities pale in comparison. The Romans continued to observe the new year in late March, but their calendar was continually tampered with by various emperors so that the calendar soon became out of synchronization with the sun. In order to set the calendar right, the Roman senate, in 153 BC, declared January 1 to be the beginning of the new year. But tampering continued until Julius Caesar, in 46 BC, established what has come to be known as the Julian Calendar. It again established January 1 as the new year. But in order to synchronize the calendar with the sun, Caesar had to let the previous year drag on for 445 days. THE CHURCH'S VIEW OF NEW YEAR CELEBRATIONS Although in the first centuries AD the Romans continued celebrating the new year, the early Catholic Church condemned the festivities as paganism. But as Christianity became more widespread, the early church began having its own religious observances concurrently with many of the pagan celebrations, and New Year's Day was no different. New Years is still observed as the Feast of Christ's Circumcision by some denominations.祝福语： 恭贺新禧! Good luck in the year ahead! 祝吉星高照! May you come into a good fortune! 恭喜发财!

总体构思

使一张手抄报在有限的空间内，既容纳一定的知识内容，版面设计又精彩又美观是很难的。对编者来说，组稿、编辑、排版、插图、书写，这是一个全神贯注、脑手并用的创造过程，是他的文化修养、生活情趣、精神风貌和艺术修养的综合体现。这对一个学生来说，无疑是发展个性才能的广阔天地。

办手抄报，从总体上考虑，首先要确立主题思想。一期手抄报，版面很有限，要办出特色，必须在内容上突出一个主题，做到主题突出，又丰富多彩。版面编排和美化设计，也要围绕着主题，根据主题和文章内容决定形式的严肃与活泼，做到形式与内容的统一。

写作思路：先介绍牛年生肖情况，再记述干支纪年中的牛年，最后简单介绍牛在西方文化中的相关知识。

牛年是中国历法中计算年份的方式，公元年号除以12余数是5的年份都是牛年。牛是中国的12生肖之一，排名第二。

The year of the ox is the way to calculate the year in the Chinese calendar． The year of the ox is the year when the year number of A．D． is divided by 12 and the remainder is 5． Cattle is one of the 12 Chinese zodiac animals， ranking second．

牛年起算自二十四节气之立春，因为生肖年依附于干支纪年，而干支纪年又是干支历的纪年方法。

The year of the ox starts from the beginning of the spring of the 24 solar terms， because the year of the zodiac is attached to the Ganzhi calendar， and the Ganzhi calendar is the method of the Ganzhi calendar．

历代官方历书（即黄历）皆如此。农历只是借用干支来纪年，其一年的范围在正月初一至除夕内，此点并无争议。

All the official calendars （i．e． the Yellow calendar） are like this． The lunar calendar only uses Ganzhi to record the year． The range of the year is from the first day of the first month to new year＇s Eve， which is not controversial．

牛在西方文化中是财富与力量的象征，源于古埃及，依照《圣经．出埃及记》的记载，以色列人由于从埃及出奔不久，就利用黄金打造了金牛犊，当作耶和华上帝的形象来膜拜。

Cattle is a symbol of wealth and power in western culture． It originated in ancient Egypt． According to the records of Exodus， the Israelites used gold to build golden calves as the image of the LORD God soon after they left Egypt．

给你些资料： 1。关于拜年习俗的由来，传说远古时代有一种怪兽，头顶长独角，口似血盆，人们叫它做“年”。每逢腊月三十晚上,它便窜出山林，掠食噬人。人们只好备些肉食放在门外，然后把大门关上,躲在家里，直到初一早晨,“年”饱餐后扬长而去，人们才开门相见，作揖道喜，互相祝贺 The Chinese New Year is traditional festival that China is rich with most the special features.It symbolizes the lunar calendar for old year to end. New year has already start.The people will take leave cold monotonous of winter, greet the organic full of life spring. A" New Year's Day" of Chinese New Year, a 杜 set 卿 says in 《 five candle treasure 典s 》 :" In order to carry the month, January it is a dollar on first day, as well cloud just dynasty, as well a 朔 of cloud."" Dollar" of original meaning is" head", lead the 申 behind in order to" start", because is a year of first day this day, the first day of the spring, the first day of the January, so be called" three dollars";Because is still a year old this day toward, month toward, day toward, so call" three dynasties" again;Again it is the first day of 朔 , so call" a 朔 " again.Wu of Sung explains in 《 the dream beam record 》 from the herding:" The January 朔 day, the New Year's Day that call".《 Say the text solution word 》 medium to" 旦 " word of hermeneutic for" see from the day an up, a, ground also." Meant the sun to just rise from the horizon rising, is a matutinal meaning.Because it means a year of the first morning respectively, the first morning of the January, so call" New Year's Day" and" positive 旦 "s. In addition to above-mentioned title, the Chinese New Year still call" open the year"," begin a new year"," year old of 芳 "," year old of 华 " etc., in many titles with call" New Year's Day" the most widespread, time is most long-last. Because of the previous dynasties style dissimilarity, the season of the New Year's Day place is also different.The style of the Chinese ancient times is a yin and yang to match the 历 , need at the same time in consideration of the position of the sun and moon, past certain New Year's Day, need certain first it is in a certain season, then make selection with this season the close by month of 朔 is the New Year's Day.Because a years old proceeds together with 12 lunar calendar not equal, differ about 11 days, so separate 3 years to need to establish an intercalary month each 2.Far and away the most important holiday in China is Spring Festival, also known as the Chinese New Year. To the Chinese people it is as important as Christmas to people in the West. The dates for this annual celebration are determined by the lunar calendar rather than the Gregorian calendar, so the timing of the holiday varies from late January to early February. To the ordinary Chinese, the festival actually begins on the eve of the lunar New Year's Day and ends on the fifth day of the first month of the lunar calendar. But the 15th of the first month, which normally is called the Lantern Festival, means the official end of the Spring Festival in many parts of the country. Preparations for the New Year begin the last few days of the last moon, when houses are thoroughly cleaned, debts repaid, hair cut and new clothes purchased. Houses are festooned with paper scrolls bearing auspicious antithetical couplet (as show on both side of the page) and in many homes, people burn incense at home and in the temples to pay respects to ancestors and ask the gods for good health in the coming months. "Guo Nian," meaning "passing the year," is the common term among the Chinese people for celebrating the Spring Festival. It actually means greeting the new year. At midnight at the turn of the old and new year, people used to let off fire-crackers which serve to drive away the evil spirits and to greet the arrival of the new year. In an instant the whole city would be engulfed in the deafening noise of the firecrackers. On New Year's Eve, all the members of families come together to feast. Jiaozi, a steamed dumpling as pictured below, is popular in the north, while southerners favor a sticky sweet glutinous rice pudding called nian gao.
