二十四節氣的智慧故事

各位大朋友小朋友大家好～又到了南哥說舊故事的時間。

大家一路從臘八忙到元宵，從祭祖啊，準備年菜，準備團圓，一切的一切都是為了「一元復始 萬象更新」的理念，希望把不好的一切留在過去，新的一年隨著新的開始，平平安安地度過一整年。所以第一個節氣「立春」，都是在這樣歡喜又忙碌的氣氛當中度過的。

立春～是一年當中的第一個節氣，表示春天開始囉。從這一天一直到立夏這段期間，都稱為春季。

而第二個節氣叫「雨水」，說到「雨水」，很多人都會想是指這一天是下雨天的意思嗎？其實是也不是，雨水，代表的是從雨水節氣開始 降雪變少、降雨增多的意思，也代表氣溫漸漸上升。雨水節氣有眾多的習俗，今天，南哥就為大家説說牙牙家，雨水節氣的習俗：「占稻色」。

還有爆米花的由來喔～

Happy New Year to everyone! I wish everyone had fun spending time with your family. After the Spring Festival, the Lantern Festival comes next. The Lantern festival is on the 15th day of the first lunar month. It is the night of the first full moon of the year and the beginning of the yuan, the night when the Earth returns to Spring. This is why the people will celebrate it, and it is also a continuation of the New Year celebration.

The Lantern festival is also known as “Shang Yuan Festival (上元節)”. According to Chinese folk traditions, on this night, when the bright moon is high in the sky, people will light thousands of colorful lanterns, set off fireworks, go out to enjoy lanterns, carry lanterns, guess lantern rides, and reunite the whole family and celebrate the festival together. But why do people hang lanterns and set off fireworks during the Lantern festival? Let’s hear the story about the legend of the Lantern festival.

The story starts from a long, long time ago. There was a Jade Emperor in the sky, who was the biggest king of the sly. He kept a beautiful bird that he loved very very much. But one day, the bird lost its way because of it’s playfulness. It flew around aimlessly, over the mountains and over the sea. Finally, it was so tired, it landed in the human world. A hunter saw the bird and shouted “Wow! I’ve never seen such a beautiful bird before! I’ll shoot it down with a bow and arrow, and let everyone see it.” So, the hunter picked up his bow and shot the bird to death.

When the Jade Emperor found out about this, he was very angry. “How dare he! To shoot my beloved bird to death, this human hunter doesn’t know what’s coming his way. To think that I take care of human lives everyday. I let them eat well and dress warmly, let the world have good weather and good harvests. I didn’t expect them to do such a thing. I must punish them and set the world on fire! Burn everything down!”

The Jade Emperor’s daughter was a very kind princess. When she heard about this, she felt that the consequences would be unimaginable. She pleaded with the Jade Emperor: “Father, please calm down! The hunter didn’t know it was your bird. The humans are innocent! Please show mercy and don’t do this!” Although the princess was right, the Jade Emperor could not swallow his anger, so he decided to wait until the 15th day of the first lunar month to set the world on fire.

The princess could not bear for the humans to suffer such a big disaster, so she risked her life and secretly went down to the human world to warn the people. After hearing the news, everyone was so frightened, but they didn’t know what to do. After discussing it for a long time, they couldn’t think of a solution. At this time, an old man said: “How about this? During the fourteenth, fifteenth, and sixteenth days of the first lunar month, we hang big red lanterns at home, light firecrackers and set off fireworks. This way, the Emperor would think that the Earth was already burning, so he would not send anyone to set it on fire.” After listening to this idea, everyone thought it was very good and they all agreed. Then, everyone began to prepare for it.

On the night of the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, the Heavenly solders and generals were going to set fire to the human world. They looked at the human world and found that the entire Earth was covered in red light and said “Jade Emperor, the world is already burning with a fire, so we don’t need to set fire to it anymore.”

In the end, the people saved their lives and houses, so every year on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, every household would hang lanterns to commemorate peace.

This is the story of the origin of hanging lanterns and lighting fireworks during the Lantern festival. Now, during Lantern festivals, there are many activities related to lanterns. Especially in Taiwan, they hold a grand Taiwan Lantern festival with all kinds of large-scale lanterns that are very beautiful. Childrens and adults can all go together to enjoy the lights and take beautiful photos!

Wasn’t that an interesting story! We’ll see you next time, have a good holiday!

各位大朋友小朋友新年好，歡迎來聽南哥說舊故事。過了年大家都長了一歲，南哥祝福大家新的一年都能健康平安喔！春節過了之後，緊接著來到的就是元宵節了。正月是農曆的元月，古人稱夜為“宵”，所以稱正月十五為元宵節。正月十五日是一年中第一個月圓之夜，也是一元復始，大地回春的夜晚，人們會加以慶祝，也是慶賀新春的延續。

元宵節又稱為“上元節”。按中國民間的傳統，在這天上皓月高懸的夜晚，人們要點起彩燈萬盞，燃放煙火、出門賞燈、提燈籠、猜燈謎、吃元宵，闔家團聚、同慶佳節。

但是人們為什麼要在元宵節懸掛燈籠、放煙火呢？今天南哥要來說元宵節的傳說。

農曆十二月初八是臘月最重大的節日臘八節，也是24節氣中的大寒，一年之中最冷的日子。也是一年之中最後一個節氣。臘八節源自於中國的一個傳統節日，因為在農曆十二月初八，也就是臘月初八慶祝而得名。這個節日原意是祭祀祖先和神靈以祈求豐收、吉祥和避邪。臘月是農曆年的最後一個月，也是一年中風俗最多的一個月。中國的新年就是從臘八節開始一直到正月十五元宵節才結束，這期間也有很多習俗。像我們吃臘八粥的習俗，是到了清朝初期才普遍的，康熙皇帝在位時，曾經賜功臣臘八粥喝，因此被視為一種榮譽的象徵。當時的民間則習慣在天沒亮前就吃粥，並且特意留下許多吃不完的粥，有「富貴有餘」的寓意。只要臘八節一過去，無論是商鋪還是家人都在提醒你快回家了，因為馬上就要到過年闔家團圓的時間了。

每年在臘八節這一天，安安家也很熱鬧喔，而且今年，安安跟阿嬤要一起去幫忙煮臘八粥並發送給大家喔。讓我們來聽看看安安家有趣的故事吧～

過完冬至，小朋友是不是以為冬天就要結束了呢？其實啊緊接著還有最後兩個冬天的節氣，就是小寒跟大寒了。關於小寒大部分的人都會聯想到梅花，梅花是小寒節氣的第一花信，梅花不畏寒冷，選擇在天冷的時候開花，所以梅花自古就是詩人們喜歡拿來稱讚偉人的題材。梅花不僅長得漂亮，潔白亮眼，更因為它的氣質歷來為人們所稱道。人們常形容的梅蘭竹菊「四君子」，就是把梅排在首位，可見梅花在人們心中的地位是多麼的崇高。也因此，人們常常把那些品性高潔的人比喻為梅這樣的君子。今天南哥要來說一個漢朝的偉人匡衡鑿壁偷光的故事。

各位小朋友大家好，又到了南哥說舊故事的時間了，今天我們要聊聊的是冬至這個節氣，冬至是黑夜最長白天最短的一天，冬至之後啊白天就會漸漸越來越長，夜晚慢慢縮短。冬至呢等於是冬天的最谷底，小朋友有沒有發現最近下課的時候天都已經黑了呢？之前下課回家天還亮著，還可以打打球，現在如果沒有燈光都伸手不見五指了，表示啊太陽很早就下山了，所以白天的長度比之前短了呢～那冬至之後呢～白天跟黑夜的長度就又會慢慢慢慢調整回白天長夜晚短。

講到冬至大家就會直接聯想到湯圓，還有團圓。到底冬至吃湯圓這個習俗是怎麼開始的呢？就讓南哥來說給你聽。

後面還有小喜時間喔～

Hello everyone, welcome back to the series Stories about the 24 Solar Terms.

Today, we will be talking about the winter solstice. It is the time when the night is the longest and the day is the shortest. Did you notice that in December, when school ends, it’s already pitch black outside? This means that the sun sets early, so the day is much shorter than before. After the winter solstice, the day will get longer and longer and the night will get shorter and shorter. Talking about the winter solstice, everyone thinks about eating tang yuan right? But how did the tradition start? Let’s hear the story.

大雪時節，天寒地凍，寒風颼颼颼。躲在被窩裡聽故事是不是好讓人家覺得幸福呢？大雪這個時節，留給人們印象最深的，莫過於「寒號鳥」的傳說了，今天南哥要來說一個寒號鳥的故事。

小朋友們，勤勞的人不一定會有收穫，但是懶惰的人是一定不會有收穫的，你們是不是也像寒號鳥一樣覺得睡覺很舒服，不想要離開被窩去上學呢？馬上就要過開心的聖誕節還有過年可以放假領紅包，感覺好多快樂的事情接踵而來，小喜姊姊都興奮的要睡不著了。可是開心的同時，也不能忘記努力，要好好念書把期末考考好，該寫的功課要如期完成。後面小喜姊姊請到了聰明的喜鵲來上我們的節目，請他分享他成功的經驗喔～

大家好，下週要進入24節氣的小雪了，大家都準備好要過冬天了嗎？有些人可能剛考完期中考，是不是就覺得寒假也快要到來了呢？小雪啊是一個準備過冬的節氣，氣溫下降，空氣濕度不大，氣候乾冷。北方地區受較強的冷空氣影響，常會出現入冬的第一場雪，但這時節的雪不會下得很大，落地之後容易融化，無法形成明顯的積雪，所以稱之為小雪。今天南哥要來說一個小雪的時候發生在小蘭家的故事。

後面小喜時間要訪問可愛的小蘭喔～小蘭家的故事你們還喜歡嗎？大家是不是也跟小蘭依樣剛考完期中考，準備放鬆一下好好準備過冬了呢？小喜時間要來問看看他學校的生活～

各位大朋友小朋友，上週霜降女神來了以後啊，天氣真的變好冷喔。早上記得起床要穿外套不要感冒了喔～這週就要進入立冬了。也就是冬天的第一個節氣。冬是終了的意思，萬物收藏也，意思是說秋季農作物全部收曬完畢，收藏入庫，動物也已藏起來準備冬眠。而西方啊在這個時節也有感恩節的習俗，原意是為了感謝上天賜予的好收成。秋去冬來，冬季開始以立冬為準，民間習俗以此時進補，意指一年辛勞，歷經寒暑，體力衰弱，進補以恢復元氣。今天南哥呢要說一個立冬進補的故事。

後面還有小喜時間～請到了世界名醫張仲景張醫師來幫我看看，順便聊聊立冬養生。
