The tomb sweeping day is one of the traditional festivals in China. On

April 5th, people start to visit their ancestors’ tombs. Generally speaking,

people will bring the home-made food, some fake money and paper-made mansion to

their ancestors. When they start to honour their ancestor, they will light up

some candles and incense, put some flowers around the tombs. The most important

thing is to put the home-made food in front of the tombs. The food, also known

as sacrifices, is usually made up with a chicken, a fish and some pork. It’s a

symbol of the offspring’s respect to the ancestors. People believe that the

forbears will share the food with them. The children dedicate the food and money

to their forbears in order to show their love and caring. The young offspring

will go down on their knees and pray for their ancestors. They can say their

wishes in front of the tombs and the ancestors will make their dreams come

true.

In some provinces of China, people use different activities to commemorate

this day, for instance, spring-outing, swinging, tree planting and making

special food. One special food is Ay Tsao rice balls. It looks like Tang-yuan,

but its colour is green. Mix the ay tsao juice with the rice powder, then make

it into small balls. The Ay Tsao rice ball is done. People believe that eating

ay tsao rice balls can get rid of the bad luck and everything will go smoothly.

Other activities such as spring outing, tree planting are the other ways to

commemorate the forbears. For one thing, it is a sign that people should look

into the future and embrace the hope; for another thing, we do hope our ancestor

rest in peace.

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.

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。

扫完了老爷爷的坟墓，我们又得扫爷爷的坟墓去，翻过了一座山就到了，爷爷是生病去世的，所以挺年轻的，到了爷爷的坟墓上，奶奶就想起了爷爷的许多往事，嚎啕大哭起来，受她的影响，大家不免都有些伤感的情绪，同样我们也是把爷爷的坟墓清理了一下，压上了香纸，就下山了。

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.

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.

Tomb-sweeping day is one of the 24 solar terms, also called the "cold food" festival, there are grave and the tradition of eating ai dumpling.

"Rains fall heavily as qingming comes, and passers-by with lowered spirits go." This years tomb-sweeping day rainy, seems to be a more solemn atmosphere. One day, our whole family with sacrifices the mountain grave. Vehicles lined up at the foot of the mountain, to come to the grave, get to stretch, speed is slow, and the traffic police command temporarily.

We first came to grandmas grave, with offerings on the tombstone ahead, pious hopes to grandmas grief. All of a sudden, "peng?? Pa! Knock?? Bang!" Firecrackers into ears. I looked inside, there are some people regardless of "civilization grave, burning firecrackers ban" initiative, without authorization, setting off firecrackers in front of the tomb. Fireworks set off incense and the despite the rainy today, but the fire hazard is still to be reckoned with.

I am lost in thought......

Suddenly, think of the teacher said in class "grave" online. Yes, teacher once mentioned that "grave" online can ease traffic pressure, sacrifices to advocate green civilization, but also can facilitate users never leave home martyrs during qingming festival ancestors, a "win-win-win".

On the same day, dad and I will contract next years tomb-sweeping day we online reaction to grandma. In the future, we will mobilize the people around calls the green, to join the online grave.

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。

“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。

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。

last qingming festival，i return home to worship my grandfather.qingming festival is a folk festival.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.

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!

清明时节雨纷纷，路上行人欲断魂”，我国传统的清明节又来到了。

Qingming rain have, the pedestrian on the road ", a traditional Chinese festival went to the.

这几天，小巷里已经有人们开始卖那红红绿绿的纸做的各种东西，人们就用延传下来的方法，买些那种纸，用火烧给故人，用这种方法来祭奠他们。这样一来到处烟雾弥漫，烧完的纸灰四处乱飞，对环境有许多污染。这个季节，虽是小草刚刚发芽的时候，但是天气干燥，烧纸就有可能引起火灾，后果挺可怕的。

These days, there have been all sorts of things people began to sell the red paper alley, people use the method of extension down, buy some kind of paper, set fire to the enemy, to pay homage to them by this method. This one to smoke, burn paper ash flying everywhere, there are a lot of pollution to the environment. This season, although it is just the germination of grass, but the weather is dry, burning it may cause a fire, the consequences are scary.

现在，也有年轻的人们用鲜花、绢花摆放在故人墓前以作祭奠，这样做多环保呀，我真希望现代人都能用文明的方式代替传统，而又不失去清明的意义。

Now, there are young people with flowers, silk flowers placed in the tomb to pay homage to the dead, do environmental protection ah, I really hope that modern people can be used to replace the traditional way of civilization, without losing the meaning.

In some provinces of China people use different activities to commemorate this day for instance spring-outing swinging tree planting and making special food. One special food is Ay Tsao rice balls. It looks like Tang-yuan but its colour is green. Mix the ay tsao juice with the rice powder then make it into small balls. The Ay Tsao rice ball is done. People believe that eating ay tsao rice balls can get rid of the bad luck and everything will go smoothly. Other activities such as spring outing tree planting are the other ways to commemorate the forbears. For one thing it is a sign that people should look into the future and embrace the hope; for another thing we do hope our ancestor rest in peace.

在中国的某些省份人们通过举行不同的活动来纪念清明节。例如春游、荡秋千、植树以及做特殊的食物。其中一种特别的小吃叫艾粑粑。艾粑粑看起来像汤圆但它的颜色的是绿色的。把艾草汁和糯米粉混合在一起搓成小球艾粑粑就做好了。人们认为吃艾粑粑能祛除邪气让诸事顺利。其余的活动例如春游、植树都是纪念先人的方式之一。一方面这些活动告诉人们要展望未来拥抱希望;另一方面我们希望先人能安息。

清明节

大家都知道4月5日是清明节。不错，今天就是清明节。

我和爷爷先去地里给姥姥，姥爷扫墓。我们先把墓上的草拔掉，拔掉后在墓上插上几个嫩柳枝;然后将纸钱烧掉。弄完之后，爷爷让我给姥姥姥爷磕三个头。我很疑惑：“为什么要磕三个头？”爷爷答不上来，便说：“你自己回去查电脑吧！”

回来时，我们吃了一些寒食。我不懂的就要问：”为什么过清明时要吃寒食？“奶奶给我讲起了寒食的来历：“春秋时期,晋文公有个患难贤臣叫介子推的,在晋文公当上国君后隐居深山,在清明前一天,晋文公派人放火烧山,想逼介子推出山做官,介子推不愿下山封官,结果被烧死山中,晋文公懊悔莫及,因此在第二天(清明)下令全国禁止烟火,只准吃冷食,以后年年如此,便形成了民间在清明节吃寒食的习俗。”我不禁一阵惊叹：“原来还有这么一个故事呢！”

今天过清明收获可真多！

今天是星期六，也是一个特别的神圣的节日——清明节。

清明节的时候，我们回去扫墓。今天我又来到了先辈的坟前，准备帮他们扫一下墓。我拿着锄头，把他们坟前的草全都除光了。

除草看似简单，但是干起来却挺累的，锄两下就要歇一会，如果不是大人帮忙可能一天我也除不完。

坟前一片光，感觉特单调，孤独。于是，第二天吃过晚饭后，我就跑到山上挖了几颗果树种在了坟前。

清明节是个重要的节日，让我们记住这个神圣而特别的节日吧!还要记住在这一天要帮先辈们扫墓哦!

还有一件事，在这个节日里，相信你们有思念的人吧!我最思念的人是我的外婆，外婆在我很小的时候就永远的离开了我，我多么希望她能再回到我身边，这就是我最思念的人，你们在清明节最思念谁呢

清明节，是我国传统的节日，在今天我们会给祖先等上坟。清明节扫墓又称上坟!

在清明节，祭祀死者的一系列扫墓活动。汉族和一些少数民族大多都是在清明节扫墓。

清明节我来到烈士陵园，为革命先辈扫墓，哀悼。我也按照旧的习俗，扫墓的时候，我和爸爸、妹妹带着酒食果品、纸钱等东西来。将食品供祭在烈士的面前，为烈士坟墓培上新士，在专门折了几枝嫩绿的树枝插在坟上，然后叩头祭拜，最后就没什么重要的!

在烈士面前，我心中充满悔恨与挽惜。我面对烈士，心中的一些疑惑都消失了。我偿到了自己劳动开心的果实，有开心的气息。

我用自己的劳动，根据历史悠久的习俗，为革命、祖先扫墓上坟。为祖先扫扫墓，哀悼……

我这时想起一首诗“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。”这问及此事《清明》。写出了清明节的特殊气氛。

清明节这天，不光称为扫墓的日子，它还是踏青节。按阳历来说，它是每年4月4日至4月5日中，是春光明媚树绿的大好日子，也是我们春游的好时机。于是，古人有清明踏青的习俗。

清明节也叫“三月节”，直到今天，悼念已逝的亲人习俗仍很盛行。也是和清明节做的事完全相同的!

清明节这一天，到处能看到人山人海的人群为祖先扫墓、上坟。祭拜他们，让他们的心里会很思念自己的亲人……甚至有的百发老人思念她年纪轻轻的死去儿女。真是令人伤心不已啊!

清明节这天，我懂得很多道理，也知道了许多富有人生哲理的理念。我们这个民风民俗最值得学习!
