摘要:客家人区遍布各地,还有许多有关这些丰富多彩、争奇斗艳的元宵节庆民俗活动,意在祈求来年风调雨顺、五谷丰登。每年的正月十五是中国的传统节日——元宵节,正月是农历的元月,古人称夜为“宵”,所以把一年中第一个月圆之夜正月十五称为元宵节。
在这一天,大街小巷都张灯结彩。人们通过赏灯、猜灯谜、吃元宵上灯、打船灯、舞狮子等活动来庆贺元宵上灯。一直以来,元宵民俗活动大多与“灯”“火”有关,如赏花灯、打船灯、放烟花……表示着添丁添财、薪火相传之意。在客家地区,元宵节举行“上灯”仪式是非常重要的一项活动。
因“灯”与“丁”同音,“上灯”即为“上丁”,是客家人为家族中新出生的男孩摆酒庆祝、“上族谱”的一种仪式,是对家族兴旺发达和子孙满堂的象征。此外,每年农历的正月十五日,即将迎来的就是中国最重要的传统節日之一——春節後第二個重要節慶,也就是所謂「闹」 元旦(又稱為燈會或燃燈節)。
闹花灯
"闹花 lanterns" is a traditional activity in Han Chinese communities, but the Hakka region has its own unique way of celebrating this festival. For example, in the town of Licheng in Fujian Province, there is an "exit case lantern," which is a large lantern made up of hundreds of small lanterns. People from several households combine to carry it out on the first day after New Year's Eve and continue until the 11th day, when all the lanterns are gathered together and displayed. The atmosphere is grand and festive.
迎古事
Another important part of Hakka culture during the Lantern Festival is "welcoming ancient times." This involves children dressing up as various historical figures and being carried on iron frames as they parade around. The most famous example can be found in Licheng's Luofang district. It requires over 80 men to carry one frame for about 18 people running with it before crossing rivers.
舞龙
The Hakka community also has its own unique dragon dance tradition during Lunar New Year celebrations. In addition to traditional dragon dances seen elsewhere, Hakka areas have their own distinct characteristics. On January 15th at four o'clock in the afternoon, each household takes out their "bridge dragons," connecting them into a long dragon that can reach over 700 meters long.
烧炮
Every year on January 14th evening, families purchase between 10 thousand to ten million firecrackers and use wooden boards as bases to form triangular shapes like flags hanging outside homes' doorways. At dawn on January 15th, villagers carry these decorated boards through neighborhoods while beating drums and blowing horns.
游大龙
In Longyan City's Yongding County, there are two types: double-person ship lights (seen along border regions) and single-person ship lights (seen along other border regions). Double-person ships require one person hiding inside with ropes tied around his waist carrying both ends while others hold paddles; single-person ships involve only one person lifting a smaller boat onto shoulders while performing small skits or songs accompanied by music played by an orchestra.
烧火龙
Legend has it that during drought years when life was hard for local residents living near present-day Foshan’s Pu Village area known as Shiliushu Village where Fire Dragon descended upon earth blessing them with rain ending severe drought conditions thus saving crops making farming possible again , locals started organizing annually mimicking Fire Dragon descent
除了以上风俗习惯外,客家人的生活方式和文化也随着时间发展而演变,但这些独特的情感表达和历史记忆仍然深刻地体现在他们当今生活中。
