新年的来历
新年的来历英语翻译：
The Spring Festival originated from the " sacrificial ceremony" at the end of primitive society. At that time, when the sacrificial ceremony was over, the ancestors killed pigs and sheep, sacrificed gods, ghosts and ancestors, and prayed for good weather and good luck in the new year to avoid disaster. They painted their faces with vermilion, covered themselves with bird feathers, sang and danced, ate and drank, and were very lively.
春节起源于原始社会末期的“腊祭”，当时每逢腊尽春来，先民便杀猪宰羊，祭祀神鬼与祖灵，祈求新的一年风调雨顺，免去灾祸。他们用朱砂涂脸，身披鸟羽，唱跳吃喝，热闹非凡。
However, it is generally accepted that the Spring Festival started in Yu Shun. One day in 2000 BC, Shun, the emperor, led his subordinates to worship heaven and earth. Since then, people have regarded this day as the beginning of the year. It is said that this is the origin of the lunar new year, later called the spring festival.
但其中被普遍接受的说法是春节由虞舜时期兴起。公元前2000多年的一天，舜即天子位，带领着部下人员，祭拜天地。从此，人们就把这一天当作岁首。据说这就是农历新年的由来，后来叫春节。
