剪紙的由來

西周（公元前1100—公元前771年）初期，成王將梧桐葉剪成玉圭圖

像，贈其弟姬虞，封他到唐國（今山西西南部）去當諸侯，恐怕這就是有關剪

紙的最早記載。春秋戰(zhàn)國時代，已經(jīng)有鏤刻的金、銀箔剪紙形式制品，鑲貼

到銅鏡、漆器、木器上作紋飾。西漢武帝時（公元前140—公元前78年），隨

著紙的應用和普及，剪紙逐漸轉(zhuǎn)到植物纖維紙上來,當時既有金銀銅箝和

絹制成的剪紙，也有用植物纖維等紙料制成的剪紙。隨著民俗的形成，剪

紙的用途從工藝品的紋飾擴展到節(jié)日的儀式上。自漢代起,從剪紙又衍生

出一種關節(jié)會動的皮影,后來轉(zhuǎn)向舞臺表演。

風箏的由來

據(jù)史載:風箏在我國已有兩千多年的歷史，早在春秋戰(zhàn)國時代，就有人

用木、竹做風箏，其代表人物相傳是巧匠魯班大師，他“削木成蹣，成而飛

之,三日不下”。《韓非子?外儲說左上》云：“墨子為木鶯，三年而成，蜚

（飛）一日而敗?！薄赌印穭t記載了“公輸子削木為風箏用繩子牽引”，加之

當時還沒有發(fā)明紙，“木鶯”是用木料制作的，因而用現(xiàn)代話說，它們實際上

是靠滑翔飛行的鳥形飛行器。到了漢朝，出現(xiàn)了用竹制框架，以紙糊之、以

繩牽之、放之空中的“紙鶯”（音鴛）。到五代時,李鄴在風箏上拴上竹笛,微

風吹動，嗡嗡有聲,很像“箏”聲，因而得名“風箏”O(jiān)

宴會種類與禮儀

宴會,是一種比較莊嚴隆重的宴請形式，有公宴、家宴。公宴都是借用

飯店、賓館的宴會廳，由政府或有關單位出面舉行，其中以國宴最為隆重。

家宴則以私人出面，在家庭寓所舉行。國宴一船以副總理以上領導人身份

出面。一般宴會，出席對象是“兵對兵，將對將”，而主人的身份一般高于來

賓，以示尊重禮貌。宴請時儀式，由主人致歡迎詞，客人致答詞。這時主、

客均停止飲食。國宴還常有樂隊伴奏。宴會的席位不能亂坐，要以身份而

定，一般是主要主人而對正廳門而坐，對面坐的是副主人。主人的右側(cè)為

上座，由首席賓客人座。如有翻譯，就緊靠首席賓客,第二席賓客坐于副主

人之右。為尊重女賓，其座位應較男賓為高。宴會還有一個特點,就是服

務員對某些菜肴要主動分派給宴者，并注意隨時斟酒。
