Dear teacher, dear students: good morning, everyone!
今天我國旗下演講的題目是《說說冬至習俗》。
The topic of my speech today is "talk about the Winter Solstice Customs".
冬至是北半球全年中白天最短、黑夜最長的一天，過了冬至，白天就
會一天天變長。古人對冬至的說法是：陰極之至，陽氣始生。冬至過後，各地氣候都迚入一個最寒冷的階段，也就是人們常說的“迎九”，我國民間有“冷在三九，熱在三伏”的說法。
The Winter Solstice is the shortest day and longest night of the year in the Northern Hemisphere. The ancient saying goes: cathode to,Yang Qi is born. After that, the local climate enters a coldest stage,that is"Jin jiu", our folk says "cold in Sanjiu, hot in dog days."
在我國古代對冬至很重視，冬至被當作一個較大節日，冬至過節源於漢代，盛於唐宋，相沿至今。曾有“冬至大如年”的說法，而且有慶賀冬至的習俗。《漢書》中說：“冬至陽氣起，君道長，故賀。”人們認為過了冬至，白晝一天比一天長，陽氣回升，是一個節氣循環的開始，也是一個吉日，應該慶賀。
The Winter Solstice was very important and was regarded as a big festival in ancient China. It originated from the Han Dynasty and was popular in the Tang and Song dynasties. There was a saying that "the Winter Solstice is as big as a year." And there is a custom of congratulating the Winter Solstice. People think it’s the beginning of a solar cycle, is also a lucky day. So we should celebrate.
現在，一些地方還把冬至作為一個節日來過。北方地區有冬至宰羊、吃餃子、吃餛飩的習俗，南方地區在這一天則有吃冬至湯圓的習慣。
Now, people still regard the Winter Solstice as a festival in some places.The Winter Solstice slaughters sheep, eats dumplings and wonton in the north, while the southern region eats sweet dumplings on this day.
過完冬至，一年一度的元旦就接踵而至了，我們很快就要迎來2019年啦，新的一年即將開啟，新的美好依靠我們來創造，祝願同學們珍惜2018年剩下的每一天，做最好的自己，好好學習，爭取為2018年畫上圓滿的句號！
After the Winter Solstice, the annual New Year Day follows.The new year is coming , and the good time will be created by us. May the students cherish the remaining days of 2018 and be the best of ourselves. Study hard, strive for a happy ending of 2018!
我的演講完畢，謝謝大家！
My speech is over, thank you!
