清明节的假期

今天是4月5日清明节

我没有去老家烧纸,而是去踏青了。

于是,父亲骑着那辆摩托车带我去北泉寺了。

我们去大殿里烧香许愿,许完了,父亲对我说说:“辰辰啊,你知道吗?我为什么过来许愿,为什么相信许愿成真吗?因为,十一年前,那时候还没有你,我和你妈妈来这里许愿,说‘希望明年有个女儿’。果然,第二年我们就有了你,——我们的愿望。所以,我相信菩萨会保佑我们的。”是啊,今天,我也许下了美好的愿望。希望我梦想能成真,父亲梦想也成真。八卦池,对,八卦池是个小泉。那里的水可真清啊,我用那水洗了手和脸,很舒爽。

我们又去了附近的黄西河捉螃蟹。

说是河,其实也不过是条小溪。人可真够多的,大都是跟我同城的人。父亲说:“人多的地方螃蟹少, 我们去上游,那儿人少。”结果什么也没捞着。我不甘心,说:“今天不捉一只螃蟹,就不走了!”父亲没办法,只好带我去更远的地方。在那里,我们遇见了父亲的朋友,他说,这个地方螃蟹多。果然,大约十分钟后,父亲捉住了第一只螃蟹。然后,第二只,第三只,第四只。对,一共四只,我们终于可以回家了。

光玩玩这些怎么够呢?

那可荒废了放假的大好时光,这不,我们又朝天中龙泉跑去了。天中龙泉的水可以喝,比纯净水好的太多了!纯净水是什么?没营养,还对人体不好。龙泉的水是纯天然的绿色物质。现在的人都讲究绿色健康,吃对人体有好处的。龙泉的水很有营养,对人体好。所以,人们都来龙泉排队打水,一个老人说,最低的泉眼水最好,那的水最有营养。于是,我们就打了一小瓶水喝。

太高兴了,今天玩得很好!

清明作为节日,与纯粹的节气有所不同。节气是我国物候变化、时令顺序的标志,而节日则包含着一定的风俗活动和某种纪念意义。

清明节是我国传统节日,也是最重要的纪念祖先和扫墓的日子。扫墓俗称上坟,纪念死者的一种活动。汉族和一些少数民族大多都是在清明节扫墓。扫墓时,人们要携带酒食果品、纸钱等物品到墓地,将食物供祭在亲人墓前,再将纸钱用火烧着,为坟墓培上新土,折几枝嫩绿的新枝插在坟上,然后磕头行礼祭拜,最后吃掉酒食回家。唐代诗人杜牧的诗《清明》:“清明时节雨纷纷,路上行人欲断魂。借问酒家何处有?牧童遥指杏花村。”写出了清明节的特殊气氛。

清明节,又叫踏青节,按阳历来说,它是在每年的4月4日至6日之间,正是春光明媚草木吐绿的时节,也正是人们春游的好时候,所以古人有清明踏青,并开展一系列体育活动的的习俗。

直到今天,清明节祭拜祖先,悼念已逝的亲人的习俗仍很盛行。

Great, thats great! At last I was looking forward to the holiday of national day. I can always relax and relax. My parents and I had an early appointment to travel by train during the national day. On this day, I got up early, and when everything was ready, my family set out. When we arrived at the square in front of the train station, it was already a sea of people, and we were crowding the railway station with the endless stream of people.

Into the waiting hall, here is a racket, crowded, we managed to find a space to sit down, I drink slobber, rest for a while, restless eyes began to look around. Not far away, a pair of silver - haired old couple helped each other, slowly sitting on their seats and talking in a small voice. On the other side, a few middle school students were laughing loudly. A tour guide, holding a small flag, is talking to the tourists of the tour group... "Why?" Suddenly, a sound of childish sound attracted me, I looked back, a chubby little girl sat on her mothers lap, "why together and we cant go out and play dad?" The little girl innocent eyes full of doubts, long eyelashes glitter, mother lovingly stroked the girls head, said softly: "your father is a traffic policeman, in order to ensure the safe travel, to the holidays will be more busy, can not go out to play with us." The little girl Sidongfeidong nodded, nestled in her mothers arms. I listened quietly, eyes unconsciously fall in the busy distance from time to time flashed, cleaners are carefully clean the ground, wiping tables and chairs, the policeman is patrols, warily watching the situation around the station staff smiling, patiently answer questions of passengers. It is their hard work that makes our trip safer and more convenient.

This picture, I have been deeply remember in the heart, when we celebrate the holiday with my family, we have to wonder whether this happy, how many people need to work to pay, and the family when we have a joyous gathering, to wonder whether and how many people still insist on work, not and your family reunion? These honorable men, let me say, "thank you!"

太好了,太好了!我终于盼来了国庆节长假,总算可以放松放松了,我和爸爸妈妈早就约好了国庆节期间坐火车去外地旅游。到了这一天,我早早地起了床,一切准备就绪后,我们全家出发了。到达火车站前广场时,那里早已是人山人海,我们随着川流不息的人群挤进了火车站。

走进候车大厅,这里更是人声鼎沸,热闹非凡,我们好不容易才找到空位坐了下来,我喝了口水,休息了一会儿,眼睛开始不安分地四处打量起来。不远处,一对满头银发的老夫妻互相搀扶着,慢慢地坐到座位上,小声地交谈着。另一边,几名中学生在大声地说笑着。一位导游举着小旗子,正在向旅行团的游客们说着什么……。“为什么?”突然,一声稚嫩的童音吸引了我,我回头一看,一个胖乎乎的小女孩儿坐在妈妈腿上,“为什么爸爸不能和我们一起出去玩而呢?”小女孩儿天真无邪的大眼睛充满了疑惑,长长的睫毛忽闪着,妈妈爱怜地抚摸着小女孩儿的头,轻声说道:“你爸爸是一名交通警察,为了保证大家的出行安全,到了节假日会更加忙碌,就不能陪咱们出去玩儿了。”小女孩儿似懂非懂地点点头,依偎在妈妈的怀里。我静静地听着,目光不觉落在了远处不时闪现的忙碌的身影上,清洁工人正在仔细认真地打扫地面,擦拭桌椅,警察叔叔正在四处巡逻,警惕地注视着四周的情况,车站服务人员面带微笑,耐心地解答着旅客的疑问。正是他们的辛勤工作,使我们的出行更加安全、便捷。

这一幅幅画面,都被我深深地牢记在心中,当我们和家人一起欢度国庆假期时,是否想过,我们拥有的这份快乐,需要多少人为之工作,为之付出,当我们和家人欢聚一堂时,是否想过,又有多少人还要坚持工作,不能和家人团圆呢?这些可敬的人啊,让我真诚地说一声:“谢谢您们!”

Celebrated two weeks after the vernal equinox, Tomb Sweeping Day is one of the few traditional Chinese holidays that follows the solar calendar-- typically falling on April 4, 5, or 6.

Its Chinese name "Qing Ming" literally means "Clear Brightness," hinting at its importance as a celebration of Spring. Similar to the spring festivals of other cultures, Tomb Sweeping Day celebrates the rebirth of nature, while marking the beginning of the planting season and other outdoor activities.

Qing Ming Jiein Ancient Times

An old man takes one last look before leaving the City Cemetery at Biandanshan of Wuhan, Central Chinas Hubei Province.In ancient times, people celebrated Qing Ming Jie with dancing, singing, picnics, and kite flying. Colored boiled eggs would be broken to symbolize the opening of life. In the capital, the Emperor would plant trees on the palace grounds to celebrate the renewing nature of spring. In the villages, young men and women would court each other.

The Tomb Sweeping Day as Celebrated Today

With the passing of time, this celebration of life became a day to the honor past ancestors. Following folk religion, the Chinese believed that the spirits of deceased ancestors looked after the family. Sacrifices of food and spirit money could keep them happy, and the family would prosper through good harvests and more children.

Today, Chinese visit their family graves to tend to any underbrush that has grown. Weeds are pulled, and dirt swept away, and the family will set out offerings of food and spirit money. Unlike the sacrifices at a familys home altar, the offerings at the tomb usually consist of dry, bland food. One theory is that since any number of ghosts rome around a

grave area, the less appealing food will be consumed by the ancestors, and not be plundered by strangers.

Honoring Ancestors

Honoring ancestors begins with proper positioning of a gravesite and coffin. Experts in feng shui, or geomancy, determine the quality of land by the surrounding aspects of streams, rivers, trees, hills, and so forth. An area that faces south, with groves of pine trees creates the best flow of cosmic energy required to keep ancestors happy. Unfortunately,

nowadays, with Chinas burgeoning population, public cemetaries have quickly surplanted private gravesites. Family elders will visit the gravesite at least once a year to tend to the tombs.

While bland food is placed by the tombs on Qing Ming Jie, the Chinese regularly provide scrumptious offerings to their ancestors at altar tables in their homes. The food usually consists of chicken, eggs, or other dishes a deceased ancestor was fond of. Accompanied by rice, the dishes and eating utensils are carefully arranged so as to bring good luck. Sometimes, a family will put burning incense with the offering so as to expedite the transfer of nutritious elements to the ancestors. In some parts of China, the food is then eaten by the entire family.

Kites

Besides the traditions of honoring the dead, people also often fly kits on Tomb Sweeping Day. Kites can come in all kinds of shapes, sizes, and colors. Designs could include frogs, dragonflies, butterflies, crabs, bats, and storks.

暑假到了,去乡村拜访爷爷。看到鸡棚里有几只可爱的小鸡,我说“这些鸡这么可爱,让我喂它们几天吧!”妈妈说,喂鸡要负责啊!是非常辛苦的。我点了点头,心想:我肯定能把鸡喂好,你们放心吧。于是我当鸡妈妈的日子开始了??

第一天喂鸡时,我兴趣颇浓。我手中捧着饲料,小鸡门争先恐后的扑过来,生怕抢不上食物,它们用力地啄着饲料,又是还会啄到我的手,又疼又痒。我轻轻抚摸着它们的绒毛,他们高兴地叫几声便跑开了,我望着消极屁颠屁颠的身影不禁哑然失笑。

一天,我想为小鸡加一些营养,就逮了几只蚂蚱喂小鸡。谁知有一只霸王鸡,它一口叼起蚂蚱便跑了。跑到一边,它才开始一口一口吃美餐。吃完后,用爪子刨刨脖子,很满足的样子。可是其他小鸡不愿意了,叽叽叽叽叫个不停,表示抗议。霸王鸡用凶狠的眼神盯着它们,猛地冲过去,其他小鸡吓得跑开了。这只鸡的个头明显比其他小鸡的大。他毛色光泽,一副雄赳赳气昂昂的样子。显然像一个黑xx老大。

我站在院中,看见天边飘过来一些黑云,心想:最好晚上别下雨,不要把小鸡淋湿了。可是天有不测风云,半夜我在梦想中时,一个炸雷把我惊醒了,我立即翻身起来,冲到鸡棚,只见小鸡在外面缩成一团,惊慌失措,他们还没见过

下雨,因此非常的恐惧,浑身哆嗦着不停,这些傻鸡呀!自己不知避雨,在外面一直淋着雨。我急忙把它们抱到一个避雨的地方,才安心回去睡了。第二天我起床一看,小鸡死了一只,我心疼极了,觉得自己对不起小鸡,应该更加仔细的照顾小鸡。我怀着歉意的心情,把小鸡埋在了土里。

我当鸡妈妈的日子就要结束了。我每天都要替它们着想,自己还没吃上饭小鸡就先吃上了。我感到非常的辛苦。转念又想,我照顾几天小鸡就这么累,那母亲把我们抚养成人的辛苦可想而知。我心中对母亲产生了由衷的敬意。

We have asked some people about what they think of having classes in holidays. Some teachers who think we shouldn’t have classes in holidays hold the idea that teachers and students are tired and students should have more time and space to do their own things. While Parents think students should have classes in holidays. They think learning more knowledge is better.

But 60% of students who disagree with it think that they should have some relaxation. On the contrary, other students hold the idea that they can learn more if they have classes in holidays.

I think it’s not very good to have classes in holidays. We should plan our holidays by ourselves. After all, it’s more helpful to combine learning and rest.

I met Mrs.Long,then she showed me around the downtown including Walmart,Xingning walking street,the bund,ect. There is a drinks machine in the street that offers passers by free drinkable water. They had the same thing in my city, but people used the water to wash their hands which ruined the machines. On the contrary, Ningningese tend to protect every piece of public property. When a little boy wanted to wash his hands, his mother stopped him immediately and told him," **,you should not use the water to wash your hands,the water is for drinking."

In the evening I walked to see the Guangxi Peoples Hall and Mendzhidao shopping mall. The next day,I cycled to Langdong new district where the Nanning international exhibition is located. The exhibition is built for CAEXPO. The bike broke during my way back,but a student from Guangxi University kindly gave me a lift. On the last day i got up early to go to Qingxiushan Park.
