Southampton Celebrates Chinese New Year 2023 南安普敦 慶祝農曆新年
南安普敦 迎接水兔年 歲月如流,我們將與壬寅虎年告別,迎來新的癸卯兔年。2023年兔年春節,南安普敦華人協會滿懷期待,期待你們——親愛的南安社區英國友人、華人僑胞和會員朋友們一同相聚,在 南安市中心 歡歌起舞,大展宏「兔」 。 南安普敦華人協會與南安普敦市議會、Westquay 購物中心和約翰漢薩德畫廊合作,在南安普敦市中心舉辦 2023 年農曆新年慶祝。 我們將在中國農曆的第一天,即 1月22號 星期日,在南安普敦市政廳廣場和 Westquay 購物中心迎接水兔年。 然後,我們將在中國農曆正月十五日即 2 月 5 號 星期日在南安普敦市政廳廣場和約翰漢薩德畫廊慶祝中國元宵節。 兔在中國文化中是長壽、和平與繁榮的象徵。 舞龍、舞獅、功夫、太極、中國/亞洲舞蹈和音樂,以及一系列文化工作坊將在南安普敦與公眾分享。 傳播中國傳統文化是南安普敦華人協會的宗旨之一, 兔年,我們從中國文字中尋找力量 。 「兔」在中國是一個美好的字眼。由「兔」字派生出的漢字都很有特點。例如,「逸」是一個會意字,兔子跑得快稱為「逸」。「兔」與十二地支中的「卯」對應,漢代王充《論衡》說:「卯,兔也。」二者組成我們的生肖「卯兔」。在十二時辰中,「卯」時是指早晨5-7時。因此,「卯」表示春意,代表黎明,充滿著無限生機。兔與「途」諧音,故有玉兔迎福、前途(兔)似錦、大展宏圖(兔)等吉祥寓意。 據古書《瑞應圖》記載:「赤兔大瑞,白兔中瑞」。那時,各地發現白兔之後,多要載歌載舞獻給朝廷,顯示君主賢明、海內大治。來吧,朋友們!2023年1月22日,我們在南安市政廳廣場,Westquay Shopping Centre 等您,讓我們一起載歌載舞,慶祝中國兔年的到來!然後,我們將在 2023 年 2 月 5 日星期日以元宵節結束為期 15 天的中國新年慶祝活動!
