, 十二生肖及新年送禮對華人的重要性

對香港以至全世界的華人來說,農曆新年(春節)是一年裏最重要的節日。在公元年曆上那一天才是春節則年年不同。今年2014年1月31日就是農曆甲午年開始的初一日。

農曆新年除了是家人團敘的日子,也代表春天的來臨。在這春節期間,一般都會有大型慶祝活動,包括燃放煙花、舞獅巡行、以至彩燈晚會。

在某些形式上,例如互送禮物的傳統,農曆新年的習俗,與一些國際性的節日,例如聖誕節,相類似。不過,農曆新年的習俗,是有其獨特的地方。例如新一個生肖的開始,以及新年送禮的方式。

十二生肖的起源

每個農曆新年都代表一個新的生肖的開始。每個生肖跟随以下的次序,每十二年循環一次:鼠、牛、虎、兔、龍、蛇、馬、羊、猴、鷄、狗、豬。每個生肖代表不同的特質或運程。

雖然很多人都認識十二生肖,但很少人會知道它的起源。其中一個傳說是玉皇大帝在新年更始的時候,召見所有動物,有十二種動物來了,即按牠們到臨的先後次序,以動物的名稱,為十二個年份命名。另一個傳說指天神為動物舉行了一場競賽,以牠們勝出的先後次序,為十二個年份命名。

有學者則認為生肖是源自中國古代天文學。

2014 (甲午年) -馬年

農曆年十二生肖的像徵意義,已深藏在中國文化傳统裏。很多華人都會根據生肖的運程來為自己作一些重要事情的决定,例如有關健康、事業、甚至婚姻大事。

2014年的農曆馬年將於1月31日開始。根據中國風水術數,生肖屬馬的人在這一年有”將星”坐鎮,能轉危為安,唯需注意健康保養。

新年送禮的習俗

在農曆新年送禮给朋友、親戚(尤其是長輩)、同事、商業伙伴或客戶,在中國傳統禮儀上有重要意義,是向對方表示尊敬、謝意、以及對新一年的祝福。

所謂一元復始、萬象更新,新春在中國曆法上是非常重要的節日,在這時候送禮,便要特別注意相關的習俗,例如:

  • 家中長輩會派送紅封包(利是)给未婚的孩子。
  • 新年禮物須用紅、粉紅、黃或金色纸張包裹,避免黑、藍、或白色。
  • 商務送禮則要避免送给同一公司內不同職級人士相同的禮物。較貴重的禮品應送較高级的職員。
