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……

清明节是二十四个节气中的其中一个，又叫“寒食”节，有扫墓和吃艾饺的习俗。

“清明时节雨纷纷，路上行人欲断魂。”今年的清明节阴雨绵绵，似乎又多了一丝肃穆的气氛。这天，我们全家带着祭品上山扫墓。山脚下，前来扫墓的车辆排成长龙，挨挨挤挤，行进速度缓慢，还有交警临时指挥。

我们先来到奶奶的墓前，拿出祭品放在墓碑前方，虔诚地寄托对奶奶的哀思。突然，“嘭??啪!嘭??啪!”的鞭炮声传入耳畔。我循声望去，原来是有一些人不顾“文明扫墓，禁燃鞭炮”的倡议，在墓前擅自燃放鞭炮。尽管今天阴雨绵绵，但燃放香烛和鞭炮的火灾隐患仍不容小觑。

我陷入了沉思中……

忽然，想起老师在课上说过的“网上扫墓”。对啊，老师曾提起过“网上扫墓”既可以缓解交通压力，倡导绿色文明祭祀，同时也可以方便网友清明期间足不出户祭扫先人，可谓“一举三得”。

当天，我就和爸爸约定明年的清明节我们就在网上祭奠奶奶。今后，我们也会动员身边的人响应这个绿色的号召，加入到网上扫墓的行列中来。

Qingming rain have, the pedestrian on the road." Another Qingming Festival has arrived. In the morning, when our family got up early, they went to Beishan to pay for the old lady. In the year when Lao Tai died, we all missed her old man. The old mans life is full of hardships and tiredness. The old man died early. The old woman used her weak shoulders to stir up the burden on her family, and she brought up her grandmother and uncle by herself.

In every young generations mind, Lao Tai represents hardworking, brave and kindhearted. I remember once, when our family just had dinner, the old lady raised her sleeves and stretched out her bare hands and exposed hands to wash dishes for us. I asked, "old man, why is your hand so ugly?" grandma heard to me: "children, we can grow up, we can go to school and be educated, all by the old mans hands to wash clothes for others to earn money." After hearing this from grandma, I hung my head from guilt. The old lady said, "when you catch up with the good times, we must cherish and study well, and become a useful person for the future." In my memory, no matter when, old woman wearing clothes are washed clean, please tell them. Wearing a neat, spiritual God.

I will always remember that old lady often visited her before she died. She was lying in bed weakly. Her eyes had lost their former beauty. But I can feel her sadness and bring to us on several good expectations from his old eyes.

Before the tomb of Lao Tai, we lifted the weeds, planted the soil and placed flowers on them. I also sprinkled the old ladys favorite wine around the grave.

I stood in front of Lao Tais grave and said softly, "old lady, are you okay in heaven?"

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.

“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。”每当我想起唐大诗人杜牧的这首诗歌时就想到好像清明节快要到了，清明的脚步已经不远了……

"Qingming Festival have rain, pedestrians on the road, borrows asked wineshop where has, the shepherd boy points at Xinghuacun." Whenever I think of this poem in Tang Dynasty poet Du Mus thought of as the Qingming Festival is coming, the tomb of the steps is not far away......

大概到了8点左右，我与妈妈爷爷从家中出发了。在路上，我不断回想着以前的事，似乎我从来没有见到奶奶那慈祥和蔼的模样，脑海里也没有任何跟奶奶有关的事迹。她长什么样子?待我好吗……一连串的问题一下子涌到我的大脑。我问妈妈：“妈妈 ，我见过奶奶吗?待我好吗?”妈妈无奈的说：“实话说吧，她对你可好啦，你犯错了，她一直袒护你……”

Probably around 8, I and mother grandfather from home leave. On the road, I continue to think back to the previous things, it seems that I have never seen her gentle appearance, also do not have any with Grandma about the deeds of the mind. What does she look like? To me...... A series of questions rushed to my brain. I asked my mother: "mother, I have seen grandma? For me?" the mother said reluctantly: "to tell the truth, she to you very well, you made a mistake, she always protect you......"

经过几十分钟的汽车颠簸，我们终于来到了奶奶的坟前。我们清理掉墓前的杂草，疏通边上的排水沟，放上供品，点好香、蜡烛，把折好的纸钱烧成灰烬给亲人拜祭，以此寄托对死去亲人的一份思念。我们行完了中华民族的礼仪以后，叔叔就拿出鞭炮“劈劈啪啪”的响起来，那声音震耳欲聋，就像天上打雷一样。我默默的在坟墓前许愿“希望奶奶能保佑我读书聪明，学习进步，全家生活快乐，身体健康”。

After several minutes of the car bumps along the way, we finally arrived at Grandmas grave. We cleared of weeds grave, dredging drainage ditch on the side, placed offerings, incense, candles point, folding the paper money burned to ashes to the family worship, as a means of sustenance for a miss their loved ones died. We finished the Chinese etiquette, uncle took the firecrackers "crack" sound, that sound deafen the ear with its roar like thunder. I silently in front of the tomb wishing "hope grandma bless me reading smart, study progress, family life happy, healthy body".

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。
