小年到十五 春節(jié)天天有講究

The folk saying goes: "butcher a pig and get some meat to prepare for the New Year feast" on the 26th day of the 12th month in the Lunar calendar.
中國(guó)有一句俗語：“殺豬割年肉。”農(nóng)歷臘月二十六正是殺豬割年肉的日子。

In the old days, many people could not afford meat and they saved the best for the New Year feast. People's livelihoods have improved greatly and meat is now a very common dish in daily diet, but the Chinese still prefer having meat during festival season.
舊時(shí)許多人買不起肉，所以就把一年中最好的東西留到新年團(tuán)圓飯吃。如今人們的生活質(zhì)量得到了極大的改善，一日三餐里肉食已經(jīng)再常見不過，但春節(jié)期間人們?nèi)匀荤姁廴馐场?/p>
