【亚洲•伊朗】诺鲁兹 Novruz, Nowrouz, Nooruz, Navruz, Nauroz, Nevruz (2009年)

在横跨阿塞拜疆、印度、伊朗、吉尔吉斯斯坦、巴基斯坦、土耳其和乌兹别克斯坦的广阔地域上，诺鲁兹标志着新年和春天的开始。这些地方的人们在每年的3月21日庆祝诺鲁兹节日，这个日子起初是由天文学的计算确定的。诺鲁兹与各种各样的地方传统相关联，诸如詹姆希德招魂，詹姆希德是波斯神话中的国王，以及其他许多故事和传说。伴随欢庆活动的仪式因地而异，从伊朗的篝火溪流跳跃到走钢丝、房屋门前点蜡烛，以及传统游戏，如吉尔吉斯斯坦的赛马或摔跤。歌舞在几乎所有这些区域都很普遍，如半宗教性的家庭餐或公共餐一样。儿童是欢庆的受益者，他们参加诸如装饰煮鸡蛋等一些活动。妇女在诺鲁兹的组织和节日传统的传承中起到关键作用。诺鲁兹提倡的价值观包括：世代之间、家庭之间的和平与团结，以及和谐与睦邻友善，从而对不同群体和不同社团的文化多样性和友谊做出贡献。

Noruz marks the beginning of the New Year and spring across a wide area of Azerbaijani, India, Iran, Kyrgyzstan, Pakistan, Turkey and Uzbekistan. People in these places celebrate the Noruz Festival every year on March 21, which was originally determined by astronomical calculations. Noruz is associated with a variety of local traditions, such as James Sid's Soul Call, James Sid's King in Persian mythology, and many other stories and legends. Rituals that accompany celebrations vary from place to place, from campfire streams in Iran to tightrope walking, candlelighting in front of houses, and traditional games such as horse racing or wrestling in Kyrgyzstan. Singing and dancing are common in almost all these areas, such as semi-religious family meals or public meals. Children are the beneficiaries of festivities. They participate in activities such as decorating boiled eggs. Women play a key role in the organization of Noruz and the inheritance of festival traditions. Noruz advocates values such as peace and solidarity among generations and families, harmony and good-neighbourliness, thus contributing to the cultural diversity and friendship of different groups and associations.
