摘要

荷印时期巴达维亚(吧城)华人的主要节庆，诸如农历新年、元宵、清明、端午、中元、冬至等六大节日，虽然均根源于中国传统的农耕社会，但依然在吧城华人社会经济生活中得以沿用和传承，并且构成了吧城华人文化传统的一个重要组成部分。本文依据吧城华人公馆(吧国公堂)档案等文献资料的相关记载，考察和分析吧城华人主要节庆的由来，以及中国传统历法与荷印历法的相互交流与融合，从中探讨吧城华人主要节庆所隐含的文化宗教内涵以及其对华人社会经济生活的作用和影响。%The major festivals of Chinese in Batavia basically came from Chinese traditional agricultural society, but they continued to be used and inherited among the social and economic life of Chines in Batavia.
