庙会

• 拼音: miào huì
• 汉字拆解: 庙 = 广 (building radical) + 朝 (court) — temple; 会 = 亼 (gather) + 曰 (speak) — gathering, assembly

含义

Temple fair; a traditional festive gathering held at or near a temple, featuring markets, performances, and folk activities, especially during Chinese New Year.

One of China's most vibrant folk traditions. Historically tied to religious observances, temple fairs have evolved into large-scale cultural events with street food, folk art performances (acrobatics, lion dances), handicraft markets, and games. Major fairs are held in Beijing (地坛庙会) and across the country during Lunar New Year. They are significant spaces for intangible cultural heritage.

例句

1. 每年春节期间，北京地坛公园举办的庙会吸引数十万市民和游客前往，糖葫芦、捏面人、皮影戏等传统民俗项目在这里得到集中展示。
2. 庙会上摩肩接踵的人群、飘散在空气中的炸糕香气以及孩子们手中各色花灯的光芒，构成了许多中国人童年记忆中最温暖的节日场景。
3. 民俗学者认为，城市化进程中传统庙会的商业化转型既保留了民间文化的外在形式，也在一定程度上稀释了其原有的宗教和社区礼仪功能。

正确说法

• 今年文化局在传统庙会上增设非遗展示区，让民间艺人现场表演。(This year the cultural bureau added an intangible cultural heritage display area to the traditional temple fair and invited folk artists to perform on site.)
• 学者指出，庙会在当代城市里仍有不可替代的凝聚作用。(Scholars point out that temple fairs still have an irreplaceable role in bringing people together in today's cities.)

错误说法

• 将'庙会'理解为纯粹的宗教活动或单纯的集市 — 庙会兼具宗教祭祀、民俗展演、商贸交流和社区聚集等多重功能，将其简化为任何单一功能均会失去对这一复合性文化现象的准确理解 (Do not understand 庙会 as purely a religious activity or simply a market — temple fairs encompass religious rites, folk-art performance, commercial exchange, and community gathering; reducing it to any single function loses the accurate understanding of this multifaceted cultural phenomenon)
