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.

Dear Simon,

I’m glad to tell you something about Spring Festival. Spring Festival is very important in China. It happens every year, but not on the same day. It usually comes in February, but sometimes it comes in January. A few days before Spring Festival we clean our house and sweep away all the bad luck. We always buy new clothes for Spring Festival.

We usually watch a special programme on television. Parents usually give thEir children a hongbao. It means good money. We visit our friends and relatives the day before Spring Festival. Spring Festival finishes at Lantern Festival, and we often eat yuanxiao on that day.

Tell me about a festival in your country.

Love from,

【知识延伸】关于“清明节”的英文介绍

Qing Ming Jie(All Souls Day)

Qing Ming is a time to remember the dead and the dearly departed. More important, it is a period to honour and to pay respect to ones deceased ancestors and family members. Because it reinforces the ethic of filial piety, Qing Ming is a major Chinese festival.

Literally meaning "clear" (Qing) and "bright" (Ming), this Chinese festival falls in early spring, on the 106th day after the winter solstice. It is a "spring" festival, and it is an occasion for the whole family to leave the home and to sweep the graves of their forebears. Chinese being practical people this sweeping of the graves is given an extended period, that is, 10 days before and after Qing Ming day. Among some dialect groups a whole month is allocated.

清明节是一个纪念祖先的节日。主要的纪念仪式是扫墓，扫墓是慎终追远、郭亲睦邻及行孝的具体表现;基于上述意义，清明节因此成为华人的重要节日。清明节是在仲春和暮春之交，也就是冬至后的106天。扫墓活动通常是在清明节的前十天或后十天。有些地域的人士的扫墓活动长达一个月。

ORIGIN(起源)

Qing Ming is popularly associated with Jie Zi Zhui, who lived in Shanxi province in 600 B.C. Legend has it that Jie saved his starving lords life by serving a piece of his own leg. When the lord succeeded in becoming the ruler of a small principality, he invited his faithful follower to join him. However, Jie declined his invitation, preferring to lead a hermits life with his mother in the mountains.

Believing that he could force Jie out by burning the mountain, the lord ordered his men to set the forest on fire. To his consternation, Jie chose to remain where he was and was burnt to death. To commemorate Jie, the lord ordered all fires in every home to be put out on the anniversary of Jies death. Thus began the "cold food feast", a day when no food could be cooked since no fire could be lit.

The "cold food" festival occurs on the eve of Qing Ming and is often considered as part of the Qing Ming festival. As time passes, the Qing Ming festival replaced the "cold food" festival. Whatever practice is observed，the basic observation of Qing Ming is to remember ones elders by making a special effort to visit their graves, ashes or ancestral tablets. To make the visit even more meaningful, some time should be spent to remind the younger members of the family of the lives and contributions of their ancestors, and the story of Jie Zi Zhui who choose death over capitulation.

谈到清明节，有点历史知识的人，都会联想到历史人物介子椎。据历史记载，在两千多年以前的春秋时代，晋国公子重耳逃亡在外，生活艰苦，跟随他的介子椎不惜从自己的腿上割下一块肉让他充饥。后来，重耳回到晋国，作了国君(即晋文公，春秋五霸之一)，大事封赏所有跟随他流亡在外的随从，惟独介子椎拒绝接受封赏，他带了母亲隐居绵山。

晋文公无计可施，只好放火烧山，他想，介子椎孝顺母亲，一定会带着老母出来。谁知这场大火却把介子椎母子烧死了。为了纪念介子椎，晋文公下令每年的这一天，禁止生火，家家户户只能吃生冷的食物，这就是寒食节的来源。

寒食节是在清明节的前一天，古人常把寒食节的活动延续到清明，久而久之，清明取代了寒食节。拜介子椎的习俗也变成了清明扫墓的习俗了。无论以何种形式纪念，为了使纪念祖先的仪式更有意义，我们应该让年轻一代的家庭成员了解先人过去的奋斗历史，当然，还要学习介子椎宁死不屈的气节。

Write the tomb-sweeping day is special atmosphere. Until today, tomb-sweeping day ancestor worship, mourning the late relatives customs still prevail. And the more brought to the attention of the people.

Chinese is influenced by its culture, make clear the Chinese memorial ancestors festival. Ancestor worship in qingming festival people are back, this is a kind of culture, a kind of habit.

清明节是中国传统的节日，有两千五百年的历史;它主要的传统文化活动有：上坟、踏青、斗鸡子、荡秋千、打毯、牵钩(拔河)等。其中上坟(即扫墓)之俗，是很古老的。清明节，它作为传统文化，是个布满神秘色彩的节日,在这个日子里,路上的行人都在思念去世的人们，表达对他们的尊重与哀思!

过清明节，在海南的许多本地人中称其为“做清明”。中年人对清明节十分看重，即使不是作为法定假日，他们也会抽空回老家“做清明”。这说明清明节已经成为了一种文化，成为了一种后人对已故之亲人表达思念的一种方式。

清明，是中国传统文化的一种认可及尊重。清明是古人传统习俗中十分重要的一个节日，也是最重要的祭奠节日，是祭祖和扫墓的日子。扫墓俗称上坟，祭奠死者的一种活动。汉族和一些少数民族大多都是在清明节扫墓。按照旧的习俗，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，再将纸钱焚化，为坟墓培上新土，折几枝嫩绿的新枝插在坟上，然后叩头行礼祭拜，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。”写出了清明节的非凡气氛。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。而且越加受到人们的重视。

中国人受自身文化的影响，使清明成为了国人追思先祖的节日。在清明人们纷纷回乡祭拜祖先，这已是一种文化，一种习惯。

The qingming (Pure Brightness) Festival is one of the 24 seasonal division points in China, falling on April 4-6 each year. After the festival, the temperature will rise up and rainfall increases. It is the high time for spring plowing and sowing. But the qingming Festival is not only a seasonal point to guide farm work, it is more a festival of commemoration.

The qingming Festival sees a combination of sadness and happiness.

This is the most important day of sacrifice. Both the Han and minority ethnic groups at this time offer sacrifices to their ancestors and sweep the tombs of the diseased. Also, they will not cook on this day and only cold food is served.

The Hanshi (Cold Food) Festival was usually one day before the qingming Festival. As our ancestors often extended the day to the qingming, they were later combined.

On each qingming Festival, all cemeteries are crowded with people who came to sweep tombs and offer sacrifices. Traffic on the way to the cemeteries becomes extremely jammed. The customs have been greatly simplified today. After slightly sweeping the tombs, people offer food, flowers and favorites of the dead, then burn incense and paper money and bow before the memorial tablet.

In contrast to the sadness of the tomb sweepers, people also enjoy hope of Spring on this day. The qingming Festival is a time when the sun shines brightly, the trees and grass become green and nature is again lively. Since ancient times, people have followed the custom of Spring outings. At this time tourists are everywhere.

People love to fly kites during the qingming Festival. Kite flying is actually not limited to the qingming Festival. Its uniqueness lies in that people fly kites not during the day, but also at night. A string of little lanterns tied onto the kite or the thread look like shining stars, and therefore, are called "gods lanterns."

The qingming Festival is also a time to plant trees, for the survival rate of saplings is high and trees grow fast later. In the past, the qingming Festival was called "Arbor Day". But since 1979, "Arbor Day" was settled as March 12 according to the Gregorian calendar.

清明已经来临了，不知怎么的每年的这个时候都会下起大雨来。这正如杜牧所说的“清明时节雨纷纷，路上行人欲断魂。”

Qingming has arrived, this time I do not know how every year it began to rain heavily. Just as Du Mu said "Qingming Festival have rain, pedestrians deep sorrow."

这天，我们刚好去祭拜已经逝世的亲人。

On this day, we just go to worship the dead loved ones.

来到昌国寺，已满头大汗的我们望了望接下来的路，只见蜿蜒曲折山路泥泞不堪，看起来很不好走啊!但想想来这里的目的，我们还是鼓起信心，小心翼翼地向前走去。哎，泥和水，水和泥的路真滑呀!一不小心就可能成为一个“泥菩萨”。经过一段时间的艰难行走，终于来到了目的地。

Come to Chang temple, has been sweating we looked down the road, I saw the twists and turns of the muddy mountain road, dont look so good! But think about the purpose here, we still have confidence, gingerly walked forward. Hey, mud and water, water and mud road slippery! One not careful will become a "mud buddha". After a period of time is difficult to walk, and finally came to the destination.

这里鸟叫声声，空气新鲜。来到坟前，只见叔叔把准备好的食物拿了出来，把筷子摆好，接着拿出并点燃蜡烛、香和纸钱，然后再在坟前一个接一个地跪拜。轮到我时，不知怎么的忽然想起了奶奶在世时的一幕幕情景，眼角的空间被泪水占满了，此刻的我才明白什么是失去后才懂得珍惜……

Birds chirping sound, the air is fresh here. Came to the grave, I saw Uncle put to good food take out, put chopsticks set, then take out and lit candles, incense and paper money, and then in front of the grave after another bow. When it was my turn, I do not know how suddenly remembered the scenes grandmother alive, out of the corner of space is filled with tears, I understand what is lost only know how to cherish......

我国的清明节是家喻户晓的传统节日，每到清明节，大家都开始忙碌起来。

The Qingming Festival is a traditional festival, every festival, everyone began to busy.

清明节古时也叫三月节，已有两千五百年历史了。公历四月五日前后就是清明节。清明在二十四节气中是独树一帜的。因为在所有的节气中，既是节日又是节气的只有清明。

The Qingming Festival is also called the festival in March, has been two thousand five hundred years of history. The Gregorian calendar April 5th is tomb sweeping day. In twenty-four solar term Qingming is become an independent school. As in all seasons, is the only Qingming Festival is also a throttle.

清明节要扫墓，吃清明?、踏青、、、、、、其中，我最喜欢的就是吃清明?了。每到清明节，爷爷就去山上把青给采回来;然后把它剁成泥;再把它烧制，并在里面加上馅，馅有咸的、有甜的，可美味了;最后用模具把它分割成圆形状的就完成了。

Ching Ming Festival to the grave, outing Qingming eat? And, among them, my favorite is to eat the tomb?. Every festival, grandpa go to the mountain to give back; then it is chopped into mud; then it is fired, and on the inside with stuffing, stuffing a salty, sweet, but delicious; finally, the die to split it into a circular shape is complete.

不仅我们中国有清明节，国外也有好多清明节。他们和我们一样，都要享受清明节带给我们的快乐。

Not only have we Chinese Qingming Festival, there are a lot of foreign festival. They are just like us, they want to enjoy the festival happiness.

今天是清明节，我早早的就起床了，穿上校服，戴上红领巾，早早的来到了学校。到了学校以后，老师先让我们排好队，听了校长的讲话后，我们一起出发了。今天的天气非常好，晴空万里，暖暖的春风吹在脸上，暖洋洋的真舒服，我们排着整齐的队伍，举着红旗，在老师的带领下，到文山去扫墓，我往后一看，队伍一眼望不到边。

Today is Tomb Sweeping Day, I got up early, put on uniforms, wearing a red scarf, came to school early. After school, the teacher let us lined up, listening to the presidents speech, we set off together. Today the weather is good, sunny, warm spring breeze blowing in the face, warm comfortable, we row tidy team, holding a red flag, under the guidance of the teacher, to Wenshan to sweep the tombs, I looked back and saw the team, Wang Budao edge.

路途很远，可是我们一点都感觉不到累，到了文山上，我们先向烈士宣誓，然后给烈士们献上自己亲手做的小白花。又给烈士们唱了一首歌。最后，老师又带我们去参观了博物馆，合影留念，时间过的真快，不知不觉就中午了，妈妈来接我回家，我还真有点依依不舍。

Its a long way, but we do not feel tired, went to Wenshan, we first to the martyrs martyrs oath, and with his own hands to do small white flowers. And sing a song for martyrs. Finally, the teacher took us to visit the museum, posed for pictures, the time off really fast, imperceptibly to noon, my mother to take me home, I also really a little be reluctant to part.

Do you know the tomb-sweeping day is how to? Ha ha! Dont know or I will tell you! Our traditional tomb-sweeping day began about the zhou dynasty, has a history of more than two thousand years. Qingming festival began a very important solar term, ching Ming festival arrived, temperatures and spring spring a good season, so have "qingming festival. Before and after the kind of melon seeds beans. Afforestation and mo ching" of the farmers proverb. Later on. Due to the tomb-sweeping day and cold day approaching, folk forbidden fire cold food is tomb-sweeping day, cold food and tomb sweeping day is one of gradually, and cold food becomes a nickname. Also become the tomb-sweeping day a custom. The day of qingming festival fireworks, only eat cold food.

Tomb-sweeping day is also a custom is grave. Before and after the ching Ming festival this year, our school organized a spring outing, is to go to a revolutionary hero monument. We with a sun hat, holding a small white flowers, to vastly revolutionary hero monument, where there are lots of huge stone, stone there are a lot of the name of the martyrs in the above, we low head, came before the pingyin tree, send our small white flowers in pingyin tree, quietly looking at pingyin the small white flowers on the tree... Coming in left the revolutionary hero monument...

This is our memory of the deceased ancestors festival, also is our Chinese traditional festivals -- tomb-sweeping day very much!

你知道清明节是怎么来的吗?哈哈!不知道了吧还是我来告诉你吧!我国传统的清明节大约始于周代，已有二千多年的历史。清明节最开始 一个很重要的节气，清明节一到，气温升高，正是春耕春种的大好时节，故有“清明节前后。种瓜种豆。植树造林，莫过清明” 的农谚。后来。由于清明节与寒冷的日子接近，而寒食是民间禁火扫墓的日子，渐渐的寒食与清明节就合二为一了，而寒食即成为清明节的别称。也变成为清明节的一个习俗。清明节之日不动烟火，只吃凉的食品。

清明节还有一个习俗就是扫墓。今年清明节前后，我们学校组织了春游，就是去革命英雄纪念碑。我们带着太阳帽，拿着小白花，浩浩荡荡地拉到了革命英雄纪念碑，在那里，有许多高大的石碑，石碑上有很多烈士的名字在上面的，我们低着头，来到长清树面前，把我们的小白花寄在长清树上，默默地看着长清树上的小白花……依依不舍在离开了革命英雄纪念碑……

这是我们纪念已故先人的节日，也是我们中国非常传统的节日——清明节!

Qingming Festival, also known as grave sweeping festival, Guijie, joss

Festival, and the Ghost Festival July 15 and October 15 of that section 3 Ha

Yuen Ming Festival, and the worship spirits.

Ching Ming Festival, called Ta-Qing Festival, according to the solar

calendar, it is in each of 4 to 6 April between springtime vegetation Tulu is

the season, it is also people Spring Outing (Ancient called Ta-Qing) good , so

there are the ancient Ching Ming Ta-Qing, and a series of sports practices.

March ancient Ching Ming festival is also called, has 20__ years of history.

For the calendar before the Ching Ming Festival on April 5, is one of the

24 solar terms. In the 24 solar terms, is a cycle is the only Ching Ming

festival. Ancient Chinese Tomb Sweeping Festival will be divided into

three-designate: "Tong Sihwa designate a second designate voles into losing;

Rainbow designate only see three." Means in this first season of Pittosporum

open, and then the voles disappeared Hi Yam, all return to the ground floor of

the cave, and then see the rainbow after the rain the sky.

The 24-cycle comparison objectively reflect all year round temperature,

rainfall, and other aspects of phenological changes, the ancient working people

use it for farming activities. "Huainanzi astronomy lecture," saying: "after the

spring equinox on the 15th, fighting means B, Tomb Sweeping Festival to the

wind." By the "100-year-old, asked," saying: "At this time of things, are clean

and bright, clean. So that the Qingming Festival. "Qingming one that elevated

temperature, rainfall increased, it is a good kind of spring for spring plowing

season. Therefore, "Qingming around point melon grow beans," "afforestation, Wu

Guo Qingming Festival" were made by the farmers. This shows that agricultural

production cycle and has maintained close relations.

However, as the Qingming Festiival, and the cycle has simply different.

Phenology is the cycle of change, seasonal sequence of signs, and festival

includes a certain amount of customs activities and a commemorative

significance. Ching Ming Festival is Chinas traditional festival, the most

important festival of worship, and the graves of ancestors day. Commonly known

as Shangfen graves, a deceased worship activities. Most of the Han nationality

and ethnic minorities are in the Ching Ming grave-sweepers. According to the old

custom, the graves, people carrying Jiushi fruit, paper money, and other items

to the cemetery, food festival with relatives for the tomb, then incineration of

paper money for a new graves pui soil, a few Nenlu% of the new sticks planted on

the grave , and then kowtowing via worship, eat Jiushi final home. Tang Dynasty

poet Du Mus poem "Qingming": "Qingming have rain season, the road to

pedestrians powder. Asked by restaurants where? Vaquero Yaozhi Xinghua Village."

Wrote the special atmosphere of the Ching Ming Festival. Until today, the Ching

Ming Festival worship ancestors, deceased relatives mourning customs are still

prevalent.

"Rains fall heavily as qingming comes, and passers-by with lowered spirits

go......" This solar term of year, we will be in my heart silently reciting the

poet tu mus poem in tang dynasty, to express our ancestors thoughts.

This day, we will come to grave, placed a bouquet of flowers, burn some

paper money, and wishing you so as to express our loved ones, and in my heart

silently pray for them, bless them in heaven can also like us, on the other side

of the happiness and lived happily. At this point, we can not help but think of

them once and those days we spent together, I can remember all those pictures as

if thought of these, I burst into tears.

Spring scenery greeted my eyes in the distance, the birds singing in the

spring of sonata, creamy TaoGongLiuLu, golden rape, "shoots" blowing leaves

fall, green shoots out long, everywhere is a piece of the scene of spring, all

things recovery, which is a season full of expectations and wishes.

Tomb-sweeping day, let us in such a special day, we in the memory of the past

and at the same time, also want to the future full of hope, cherish life, let

oneself life more meaningful, dont use such a beautiful life. Also have a new

understanding of the life, let oneself every day was honest, such ability will

not let myself regret, and live up to others.

“清明时节雨纷纷，路上行人欲断魂……”每年的这个节气，我们都会在心里默默地吟诵这首唐代诗人杜牧的诗句，来表达我们对先人的思念之情。

这一天，我们会来到墓前，放置一束鲜花，烧上一些纸钱，借以表达我们对亲人的思念和祝福，并在心里默默地为他们祈祷，祝福他们在天堂的那一边也能够和我们一样，幸福和快乐地生活着。此时，我们不禁会想起他们曾经和我们共同度过的那些岁月，那些画面仿佛还历历在目，想到这些，我不禁潸然泪下。

远处春的景色映入了我的眼帘，鸟儿唱着春天的奏鸣曲，漫山的桃红柳绿，遍地金黄的油菜花，“嫩芽吹叶落”，绿油油的嫩芽长了出来，到处是一片春意盎然、万物复苏的景象，这是一个充满期望和祝福的季节。清明时节，让我们在这样一个特殊的日子里，我们在缅怀过去的同时，也要对未来充满希望，珍惜生命，让自己的生命更有意义，不要虚度了这样一个美好的人生。还要对生命有一个重新的认识，让自己的每一天都充充实实的，这样才会不让自己遗憾，并且对得起他人。

Last Qingming Festival,I return home to worship my grandfather.Qingming Festival is a folk Festival.In the past,In the past, the Qingming Festival was called "Arbor Day". But 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.

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.
