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.

“清明节是中国最重要的传统节日之一。它不仅是人们祭奠祖先、缅怀先人的节日，也是中华民族认祖归宗的纽带，更是一个远足踏青、亲近自然、催护新生的春季仪式。”

"Qingming Festival is one of the most important traditional festival China. It is not only the people pay homage to their ancestors, cherish the memory of their ancestors Festival, is also the Chinese nations link to find ones origin, is a hiking outing, close to nature, protecting the new spring ceremony."

作为清明节重要节日内容的祭祀、踏青等习俗则主要来源于寒食节和上巳节。寒食节与古人对于自然的认识相关。在中国，寒食之后重生新火就是一种辞旧迎新的过渡仪式，透露的是季节交替的信息，象征着新季节、新希望、新生命、新循环的开始。后来则有了“感恩”意味，更强调对“过去”的怀念和感谢。寒食禁火冷食祭墓，清明取新火踏青出游。唐代之前，寒食与清明是两个前后相继但主题不同的节日，前者怀旧悼亡，后者求新护生;一阴一阳，一息一生，二者有着密切的配合关系。禁火是为了出火，祭亡是为了佑生，这就是寒食与清明的内在文化关联。唐玄宗时，朝廷曾以政令的形式将民间扫墓的风俗固定在清明节前的寒食节，由于寒食与清明在时间上紧密相连，寒食节俗很早就与清明发生关联，扫墓也由寒食顺延到了清明。

As an important content of the festival Ching Ming Festival sacrifice, outing custom comes from the cold food festival, Shangsi festival. The cold food festival and the understanding of the nature of the. In China, cold food after the rebirth of the new fire is a kind of new transition ceremony, said the seasonal alternation information, a symbol of starting the new season, new hope, new life, new cycle. Then there is the "thanksgiving" means, more emphasis on the "past" Remembrance and gratitude. Cold food observance ban fire cold food festival tomb sweeping outing travel, take new fire. Before the Tang Dynasty, cold and clarity is the two successive but the theme of different festivals, the former Qiu Xin Memorial nostalgia, the nursing students; Yin and Yang, a breath of life, the two have close relationship with the. Fire ban is for fire, sacrifice to the Archilife dead, it is cold and clear the inherent cultural association. Tang Xuanzong, the court had to order in the form of folk customs in the Ching Ming Festival fixed sweep the tombs of the cold food festival, Hanshi and Qingming is closely connected with in time, cold food festival and Qingming associated with early, sweep the tombs from the extended to the Qingming cold food.

据我了解,汉魏以前清明主要指节气,它仅仅是与农事密切关联的一般节令.那么它如何成为被人们所重视的节日呢?原因在于,清明与上已,寒食两个节日的日期相当接近,而且三个节日的习俗相互关联,具备融为一体的条件.清明节就是现在的4月4日至6日之间。

referred to solar terms. It was only a general Festival closely related to

festivals are quite close, and the customs of the three festivals are related to

each other and have the conditions of integration. Qingming Festival is now

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。

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。

Time came slowly to the Qingming time.

The afternoon of April 3rd, our school organized a class five and class together to worship the martyrs cemetery. Walking into the cemetery, looking around, surrounded by mountains, quiet and silent. Occasionally, there are several birds singing, but they also disperse quickly. Most of the students were lowering their heads, wondering what they were thinking in silence. I sighed with a sigh and thought: it was a long time away from the time of the war, and the soldiers who died for the country were fading away. How many people could remember them? Everyone left with a strain of white flowers, looked up at the distance. Looking at the tall marble statue of the martyr, there was a feeling of admiration in mind, and my thoughts went to that distant age. Those young girls who are still in flower season have sacrificed their lives in the cruel war. Did they ever regret when they died? At that moment, they thought of their parents at home, or the security of their country, or just such a departure?

The worship of the process is very simple, but the atmosphere is dignified. No matter what, what is on your mind at this moment, everyone is silent and soundless. Finally, we put the paper flowers in front of the stone tablets and leave them together. The whole process is somewhat solemn and heavy. Returning to school, my mind is always relaxed and depressed. Whenever I think of that stone tablet and think of the soldier who is sleeping underground, there will be a lot of sadness and weakness. Todays life is because of them, we can live so happily.

Qingming Festival is the traditional festival of our nation. At this time, everyone will pay homage to their loved ones or martyrs. In this Qingming Festival, we can do too little or too little. Only hope that we can use a sincere heart to face our elders and martyrs.

"As" this sentence is confirmed by the wonderful nature, yesterday the wisper under light rain, my heart is heavy like a rock, because want to master and old milk grave, before, I dont understand the real meaning of the qing Ming day, until today after sweeping the tomb, I understand the true meaning of tomb-sweeping day!

At seven o clock in the morning, we prepare to master and old milk grave, grave is a fresh thing for me, we take tools and set off.

Walking the winding mountain road, I cant wait, after about an hour, we came to the master and old grandmas grave, a year didnt come, graves are covered with wild grass, you well after the division of labor, began to busy, everything is in place, we started to burn money, along with the smoke, I seem to see their shadow, they told me: study hard and cherish life.

Yes, life is short, happy every day to live, to continuously surpass ourselves, surpass ourselves, dream will come true; The superego, the dream into power; Beyond the self, to create beautiful life! I think life is constantly transcend self, beyond the dream!!!!! Panoramic view of the city house on the mountain, the mountain was full of golden golden in the rape, deep breath, deep and remote light fragrance, fresh air, the flowers with irresistible power explanation of the meaning of life!

“清明时节雨纷纷”这句话被奇妙的大自然所印证了，昨天下了淅淅沥沥的小雨，我的心就像大石头一样沉重，因为要给老爷和老奶扫墓，以前，我不懂清明节真正的意义，直到今天扫完墓后，我才懂得了清明节的真正意义!

清晨的七点，我们准备给老爷和老奶扫墓，扫墓对我来说可是件新鲜的事，我们拿上工具，出发了。

走在蜿蜒的山路上，我已迫不及待了，大约过了一个小时，我们来到了老爷和老奶的墓前，一年没来，坟墓上长满了荒芜的草，大家做好分工后，纷纷开始忙碌起来，一切就绪后，我们开始烧纸钱，随着袅袅炊烟，我仿佛看到了他们的影子，他们告诉我：好好学习，珍惜生命。

是啊，人的一生苦短，每天都要活得快乐，要不断超越自我，超越自我，梦想终会实现;超越自我，梦想化为动力;超越自我，创造美丽人生!我认为生命就在不断的超越自我，超越梦想!在山上，城市的房子尽收眼底，山中开满了金黄金光的油菜花，深呼一口，幽淡的花香，清新的空气，那些花以不可抗的动力诠释着生命的意义!

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.
