中國的小孩一周歲時,在孩子周圍放上諸如書、針、硬幣之類的東西.每件東西都有特定的含義,幼兒摸到的東西將預(yù)示未來的一生.
中國的中老年人過生日,常吃長長的面條,表示長壽.
生日快樂歌的起源
關(guān)于“祝你生日快樂”一歌是如可產(chǎn)生的故事,一開始是件令人愉快的事,到后來就變了味,令人很掃興.
事情是這樣的：有姐妹倆,一個叫瑪?shù)吕锏?希爾,路易思維爾市肯德基實驗幼兒園教師,一個叫柏蒂?希爾,該校的校長.姐妹倆一道為兒童們譜寫了一首歌,歌名為“大家早上好”.瑪?shù)吕锏吕锸钱?dāng)贊美歌的專家,再加上好怕音樂天分,又是當(dāng)?shù)亟烫玫娘L(fēng)琴師,而且她姐姐在幼兒教育方面也很有經(jīng)驗,“大家早上好”一歌無疑是個巨大的成功.
1893年,兩姐姐發(fā)表了一部歌曲集,題名為“幼兒園的故事”.三十一年以后,在柏蒂?希爾出任歌倫比亞大學(xué)師范學(xué)院幼兒教育系系主任之后,一個名叫羅伯特?科爾曼的男士未經(jīng)姐姐倆的允許,私自出版了這首歌,在這首歌后又加了一段,即大家熟悉的“祝你生日快樂”,這就構(gòu)成了對姐妹倆的傷害和侮辱.科爾曼先生增加的第二段歌詞使這首歌很快就十分流行.
最終,姐妹倆的第一段歌詞消失了.“祝你生日快樂”這首唯一的生日歌完全取代了姐妹倆原來的歌曲“大家早上好!”.
瑪?shù)吕锏掠?916年逝世后,柏蒂與其另一個妹妹杰西卡出面將科爾曼先生告上了法庭.在法庭上,她們證明,實際上她們擁有這首歌曲調(diào)的版權(quán).由于這首歌曲的法定版權(quán)屬于希爾姐妹家,它便被賦予了皇權(quán),無論何時這首歌因商用目的而被唱的時候,其皇權(quán)總是會受到保護的.
生日蛋糕的由來
中古時期的歐洲人相信,生日是靈魂最容易被惡魔入侵的日子,所以在生日當(dāng)天,親人朋友都會齊聚身邊給予祝福,并且送蛋糕以帶來好運驅(qū)逐惡魔.
生日蛋糕,最初是只有國王才有資格擁有的,流傳到現(xiàn)在,不論是大人或小孩,都可以在生日時,買個漂亮的蛋糕,享受眾人給予的祝福.
