平安夜究竟为什么要吃平安果(图)
平安夜送平安果,这个习俗据说是中国才有的. 因为中国人比较注重谐音,比如洞房花烛夜,把花生红枣和莲子放在被子下面,寓意"早(枣)生贵子". 平安夜就是圣诞节前夜,圣诞节是12月25日,平安夜就是12月24日夜晚. 苹果的"苹"与平安的"平"同音,于是中国人寓以苹果"平安"的吉祥含义. 于是就有了平安夜送苹果的习俗. 送苹果代表送的人祝福接受平安果的人新的一年平平安安.
Christmas Eve send peace fruit, this custom is said China had some. Because the Chinese comparison pay attention to homophonic, such as bridal chamber spends candle night, put peanut jujube and lotus seed in the quilt below, meaning "early (dates) masculine child." Christmas Eve is Christmas Eve, Christmas day is December 25, Christmas Eve is December 24th night. Ping "apple" and peace "flat" unisonant, so Chinese boxing with apple "peace" auspicious meaning. And then the Christmas Eve deliver the apple custom. Send representatives to bless those apples accept peace fruit New Year in peace。
