感恩节（始于1621年） Thanksgiving (1621)
Content Introduction
中文
1621年的感恩节，是美国历史上一个具有里程碑意义的事件。它并非像现代感恩节那样是一个全国性的、固定日期的节日，而更像是一次非正式的庆祝活动。1620年，一批被称为“清教徒”的英国移民乘坐五月花号到达北美普利茅斯，他们在印第安人的帮助下度过了严酷的冬天，并在次年秋季迎来了丰收。为了表达对上帝的感恩和对印第安人帮助的感激，他们与当地温尼班戈（Wampanoag）部落的人们举行了一场为期三天的盛大庆祝活动。这次活动中，清教徒们与印第安人分享了收获的玉米、南瓜、野生火鸡等食物，并举行了游戏和娱乐活动，象征着双方在艰难环境下的合作与共存。这次活动并非一开始就被称为“感恩节”，而是后世根据历史记载而追溯和命名。1621年的庆祝活动，是后来美国感恩节传统的雏形，它展现了早期美洲多元文化的碰撞与融合，也体现了感恩和分享的重要精神。
这事件对于理解美国早期历史至关重要，它展现了欧洲移民和印第安原住民之间最初的互动，以及他们试图在新的环境中建立家园的艰辛和合作。虽然后来的美国发展历史充满了冲突和矛盾，但这最初的合作与共存，构成了美国文化中一个重要的组成部分，至今仍对美国人的价值观和文化认同产生深刻的影响。

The Thanksgiving of 1621 is a landmark event in American history. Unlike the modern Thanksgiving, it wasn't a nationwide holiday with a fixed date, but rather an informal celebration. In 1620, a group of English settlers known as the Pilgrims arrived in Plymouth, North America aboard the Mayflower. They survived a harsh winter with the help of Native Americans and in the autumn of the following year celebrated a bountiful harvest. To express gratitude to God and appreciation for the help from Native Americans, they held a three-day celebration with the local Wampanoag tribe. During this event, the Pilgrims and Native Americans shared food such as corn, pumpkin, and wild turkey, and engaged in games and other recreational activities, symbolizing their cooperation and coexistence in a challenging environment. This event was not initially called "Thanksgiving," but was retrospectively named based on historical records.
The celebration of 1621 serves as the prototype for the later American Thanksgiving tradition. It demonstrates the collision and fusion of diverse cultures in early America and embodies the important spirit of gratitude and sharing. This event is crucial to understanding early American history, showcasing the initial interactions between European immigrants and Native American inhabitants, as well as the hardships and cooperation involved in their attempts to establish homes in a new environment. Although subsequent American history is full of conflicts and contradictions, this initial cooperation and coexistence constitutes an important part of American culture, still deeply impacting American values and cultural identity.
