Mother’s day

In the U.S., mother’s day is a holiday celebrated on the second sunday in May. It is a day when children honor their mothers with cards, gifts, and flowers. It was first observed in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania in 1907. Long before that, there were days honoring mothers even in ancient Greece. In those days, however, it was Rhea, the mother of the gods who was given honor.

Later, in the 1600s, in England there was an annual observance called "Mothering Sunday". It was celebrated during June, on the fourth sunday. On Mothering Sunday, the servants, who generally lived with their employers, were encouraged to return home and honor their mothers. It was traditional for them to bring a special cake along to celebrate the occasion.

In the U.S., in 1907, Ana Jarvis, from Philadelphia, began a campaign to establish a national mothers day. Jarvis persuaded her mothers church in Grafton, West Virginia to celebrate mothers day on the second anniversary of her mothers death, which was the second sunday in May. The next year mothers day was again celebrated in Philadelphia. Jarvis and others began a letter-writing campaign to ministers, businessmen, and politicians in their quest to establish a national mothers day. They were successful. In 1914, the American president proclaimed mothers day a national observance that was to be held each year on the second sunday of May.

”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。“这首诗是唐代著名诗人杜牧对于清明节有感而发的诗句。

今年清明节前几天，父亲和母亲就买来”烧纸“自己在家里折起了”金元宝“，我虽然觉得应该”文明祭祖“，但是还是不能说服父亲母亲的传统观念，没办法，闲下来的时候我也只好帮助折了一些”金元宝“。

4月5日清晨，父亲母亲和我早早就起床，我们和大伯二伯一起约定好在奶奶那儿集合，然后集体去公墓祭扫。

我们8：30就到达了公墓，可现场还是”人山人海“我们在爷爷的墓前静观了好久，父亲清理一下墓地周围，二伯把很多”纸钱“摆放好了，大伯还点上了一根香烟放在了”案头“我想他是想给爷爷也抽上一支。看得出来，奶奶和父亲还有伯伯们都有点伤心。我虽然没有亲眼见过爷爷，但觉得自己生下来就没有爷爷了，还是觉得很遗憾……今年的公墓祭祖我还是发现了很多不文明的行为。

事例一：一路上，我发现有许多掉落的纸元宝在地上。树中间还有许多垃圾堆在一起，显得很脏。

事例二：我们把元宝烧成灰烬。风一吹，灰烬全部飘在空中。不但会污染空气，而且很不美观。还有许多乞讨的人们在别人伤心时来要钱，不给钱就不走，这明显是”趁人之危“呀！

我提倡大家用鲜花代替纸钱，这样就既环保，又让公墓更加美丽了！

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.

Yangzhou (simplified Chinese:扬州) is a prefecture-level city in central Jiangsu Province, Peoples Republic of China. Sitting on the northern bank of the Yangtze River, it borders the provincial capital of Nanjing to the southwest, Huaian to the north, Yancheng to the northeast, Taizhou to the east, and Zhenjiang across the river to the south. Historically it is one of the wealthiest of Chinas cities, known at various periods for its great merchant families, poets, painters, and scholars.

Geography and climate

Rivers: the Yangtze River, Jinghang Canal, Baoshe River, Datong River, Beichengzi River, Tongyang Canal, Xintongyang Canal, Baima Lake, Baoying Lake, Gaoyou Lake, Shaobo Lake.

Local landscape: Slender west lake, Ge garden, He garden, Da ming temple, Phoenix island, etc. Subtropical monsoon climate with humid changeable wind; longer winters for about 4 months, summers 3 months and shorter springs and autumns, 2 months respectively; frost-free period of 222 days and annual average sunshine of 2177 hours. Average temperature: 15 °C annually; the hottest in July of 27.6 °C and the coldest in January of 1.7 °C; maximum temperature of 39.8 °C and minimum 19 °C

The annual average precipitation is 1,030 mm, and about 45 percent of rainfall is concentrated in the summer. The rainy season known as "plum rain season" usually lasts from mid-June to late July. During this season, the plums are ripening, hence the name plum rain.

Cuisine

Yangzhou dishes may be one of the reasons why the people of Yangzhou are so infatuated with their city. They have an appealing color, aroma, taste and appearance. The original color of each ingredient is preserved after cooking, and no oily sauce is added, so as to retain the fresh savor of the food.

In Yangzhou all dishes, whether cheap or expensive, are elaborate. Cooks will not scrimp on their work, even with Zhugansi (stewed sliced dry bean curd), a popular dish that costs only a few yuan. Dry bean curd is made by each restaurant that serves it, so the flavor is guaranteed. The cook slices the 1-cm-thick curd into 30 shreds, each one paper-thin but none broken, and then stews them for hours with chopped bamboo shoots and shelled shrimps in chicken soup. In this way the dry bean curd shreds can soak up the flavor of the other ingredients, and the soup is clear but savory. It is not only Yangzhou cooks but also the ordinary people who are conscientious about cooking.

Pomegranate smile grinned his mouth, belly to break, and that a crystal, gem-like, shining dazzling fruit dripping honey, greedy a few children saliva DC. They seem to say to people, "Come on! Come!

“清明时节雨纷纷，路上行人欲断魂”。清明节到了，这一天要去扫墓，去祭祀亲人。

叔叔阿姨都回来了，给我带了许多好吃的。下午我们要去上坟，我拎着一大袋子纸钱和几根柳枝，母亲拿着两捆柴草和炮竹，父亲扛着一把铁锹，我们拎着东西向山上出发了。

一行人步行来到爷爷奶奶的坟墓前，叔叔首先用镰刀把周围的杂草割掉，母亲把柳条插在坟头上。柳条上还挂一根又细又长的白纸条。母亲把捆柴草放在地上，用打火机点燃，我和堂弟锦皓就开始烧纸钱了。

我拿出一沓子一百元的纸钱，拆开摆放在柴上，一边烧，我和锦皓一边呼唤：“爷爷奶奶来拿钱。”

我发现每一种纸钱的第一张都比较逼真，像是真的，其余都很假，制造很粗糙。除了有纸钱，还有金条和元宝，这些还不算什么，叔叔还买了一副纸麻将，还有一幢迷你纸房子，都做得惟妙惟肖。我想，以前爷爷很喜欢打麻将，这次送了一副麻将，他一定很高兴。

纸钱烧完了，父亲和叔叔去放鞭炮了，“咚”、“啪”，哇，这种炮竹好响呀，还是带彩带的那一种呢。

回到家后，我又和父亲母亲去外婆家去扫墓，大舅、小舅、姨妈等人都到齐了，我们带着东西来到外公的坟前。这些杂草长的也忒快了吧，走来长这么高了，姨妈还是要把它们给处死。我给外公烧了美元，好让他老人家跟随地府旅游团出国旅游。

“咚！”、“啪！耳边传来了络绎不绝的鞭炮声。

每年的公历四月五日前后为清明节，是二十四节气之一。今年的清明节是4月4日。在二十四个节气中，既是节气又是节日的只有清明。清明节是我国传统节日，也是最重要的祭祀节日。按照旧的习俗，祭祀(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。清明节，又叫踏青节，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。

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.
