中国传统节日
清明节,又称踏青节、行清节、三月节、祭祖节等,通常在每年的4月4日至6日之间举行。它是中国传统的重要节日之一,主要用于祭祀、祭祖和扫墓等活动。清明节融合了自然与人文两大内涵,既是二十四节气之一,也是一个具有独特意义的传统节日。与春节、端午节、中秋节并称为中国四大传统节日。

清明节起源于周代的“墓祭”之礼,至今已有两千五百多年的历史。最初仅是一个节气的名称,后来与寒食节相结合,逐渐演变成纪念祖先的节日。清明节的主要习俗包括扫墓祭祖和踏青郊游,人们会在这一天前往祖先墓地祭拜,并结伴到郊外原野远足踏青,并进行各种游戏,如荡秋千、蹴鞠、放风筝等,以及吃青团、寒食燕、黑饭等食俗。
为了弘扬和传承民族传统文化,清明节在2006年被列入第一批国家级非物质文化遗产名录,并于2008年被增设为国家法定节假日。此外,受汉族文化影响,中国少数民族及一些国家和地区也都有过清明节的习俗,如越南、韩国、马来西亚、新加坡等。

Qingming Festival (Tomb Sweeping Day) is a traditional Chinese festival for families to pay respect(尊敬) to their ancestors. People visit their ancestors’ grave sites and offer food, drinks and flowers. The festival falls on April the fourth this year. There are some Chinese poems that offer clues to Chinese history and culture through ancient expressions. Here we look at one of the classic poems in the history of Chinese literature:
In China, around the time of Qingming Festival, there is more rain. The poet is traveling far away from home on these rainy days. The rain and lonely walks lead to the separation of the soul and body, which adds a sad mood to this poem.The writer, Du Mu describes a rainy scene in a village in the first two lines. Then in the last two lines, the poet wants to find a place to take a rest, drink some wine(酒) and get rid of the sad mood. Where can I find a good tavern? In the last line, a cowherd points to a direction, which vividly depicts(生动描绘) two people looking far ahead on the rainy day.
Mourning DayDrizzling rain falls like tears on the Mourning Day,The mourner's heart is going to break on his way.
Where can a wineshop be found to drown his sad hours?
A cowherd points to a cot amid apricot flowers.
(Translated by Xu Yuanchong, Chinese translator)
In this poem, Du Mu presents a village with apricot flowers around as the direction of the tavern. He doesn’t describe its details on a rainy day but leaves it to the readers’ imagination.
Qingming is not only a sad festival, but can also be a happy time for people to enjoy the spring and get closer to nature in an outing. Trees are green and flowers are blooming, so it’s a good time to be outside.

清明节起源于周代的“墓祭”之礼,至今已有两千五百多年的历史。最初仅是一个节气的名称,后来与寒食节相结合,逐渐演变成纪念祖先的节日。清明节的主要习俗包括扫墓祭祖和踏青郊游,人们会在这一天前往祖先墓地祭拜,并结伴到郊外原野远足踏青,并进行各种游戏,如荡秋千、蹴鞠、放风筝等,以及吃青团、寒食燕、黑饭等食俗。
为了弘扬和传承民族传统文化,清明节在2006年被列入第一批国家级非物质文化遗产名录,并于2008年被增设为国家法定节假日。此外,受汉族文化影响,中国少数民族及一些国家和地区也都有过清明节的习俗,如越南、韩国、马来西亚、新加坡等。

Every April, there is a special day in China. It is called Qingming Festival, also called Tomb-Sweeping Day. 11
Qingming is a traditional Chinese festival. 12 It began over 2,000 years ago. A famous poem by the Tang Dynasty poet Du Mu describes the day: “Rains fall heavily as Qingming comes, and passers-by with lowered spirits go.”
Tomb-Sweeping Day has been a public holiday on the Chinese mainland since 2008. On this day, families bring flowers, food and wine to their ancestors’ tombs (坟墓). 13 After that, they sweep the dirt off the tombs and remember their dead family members.
14 That’s because people think that visiting tombs is to show respect to their dead family members.
However, Tomb-Sweeping Day is not only about this. During that time, the weather is becoming warmer. People are also able to garden and enjoy outdoor activities. Families often get together for outings or fly kites at this time.

Qingming Festival (Tomb Sweeping Day) is a traditional Chinese festival for families to pay respect(尊敬) to their ancestors. People visit their ancestors’ grave sites and offer food, drinks and flowers. The festival falls on April the fourth this year. There are some Chinese poems that offer clues to Chinese history and culture through ancient expressions. Here we look at one of the classic poems in the history of Chinese literature:
In China, around the time of Qingming Festival, there is more rain. The poet is traveling far away from home on these rainy days. The rain and lonely walks lead to the separation of the soul and body, which adds a sad mood to this poem.The writer, Du Mu describes a rainy scene in a village in the first two lines. Then in the last two lines, the poet wants to find a place to take a rest, drink some wine(酒) and get rid of the sad mood. Where can I find a good tavern? In the last line, a cowherd points to a direction, which vividly depicts(生动描绘) two people looking far ahead on the rainy day.
Mourning DayDrizzling rain falls like tears on the Mourning Day,The mourner's heart is going to break on his way.
Where can a wineshop be found to drown his sad hours?
A cowherd points to a cot amid apricot flowers.
(Translated by Xu Yuanchong, Chinese translator)
In this poem, Du Mu presents a village with apricot flowers around as the direction of the tavern. He doesn’t describe its details on a rainy day but leaves it to the readers’ imagination.
Qingming is not only a sad festival, but can also be a happy time for people to enjoy the spring and get closer to nature in an outing. Trees are green and flowers are blooming, so it’s a good time to be outside.
