【知识延伸】关于“清明节”的英文介绍

Qing Ming Jie(All Souls Day)

Qing Ming is a time to remember the dead and the dearly departed. More important, it is a period to honour and to pay respect to ones deceased ancestors and family members. Because it reinforces the ethic of filial piety, Qing Ming is a major Chinese festival.

Literally meaning "clear" (Qing) and "bright" (Ming), this Chinese festival falls in early spring, on the 106th day after the winter solstice. 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. Chinese being practical people this sweeping of the graves is given an extended period, that is, 10 days before and after Qing Ming day. Among some dialect groups a whole month is allocated.

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。

以前,我对节日一问三不知,别说是清明节,连六一节我也不知道.可我看了>后,我对所有的节日都很了解了,特别是清明节,我对清明节非常了解了。

In the past, I didnt know about the three festivals, let alone the Qingming

Festival. I didnt even know about the 61 Festival. But after I saw >I knew all the festivals very well, especially the Qingming

Festival. I knew the Qingming Festival very well.

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。

As far as I know, before the Han and Wei dynasties, Qingming mainly

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

farming. So how could it become a festival that people attach great importance

to? The reason is that the dates of .Qingming and Shangji, and cold food

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

between April 4 and 6

每到这时,人们都会去扫墓,有些学校也会组织春游.到那天,我们会吃清明团子,那着自己制作的小白花献给革命人等等.从古代到现在,在清明节时,我们可以放风筝,举行放风筝比赛……

At this time, people will go to the tomb sweeping, and some schools will

organize spring outings. On that day, we will eat the Qingming troupe and

dedicate the small white flowers made by ourselves to the revolutionaries and so

on. From ancient times to now, on the Qingming Festival, we can fly kites and

hold kite flying competitions.

我回到家想了想,咦,如果我们老是用古代的习俗,一点儿也没有创意了.于是,我想了想,终于,想出了一个非常好的点子:我们可以把清明团子做成各种各样好看,新奇的形状来,这样,让人们看起来舒服,吃起来甜美!

I came home to think, eh, if we always use the ancient customs, there is no

creativity at all. So, I thought, finally, came up with a very good idea: we can

make Qingming dumplings into all kinds of good-looking, novel shapes, so that

people look comfortable and eat sweet!

《我们的节日》这本书真好!让我深深地了解到了清明节各种习俗,由来等等。

This book is so good that I have a deep understanding of the customs and

origins of Qingming Festival.

"Rains fall heavily as qingming comes, and passers-by with lowered spirits

go......" This solar term of year, we will be in my heart silently reciting the

poet tu mus poem in tang dynasty, to express our ancestors thoughts.

This day, we will come to grave, placed a bouquet of flowers, burn some

paper money, and wishing you so as to express our loved ones, and in my heart

silently pray for them, bless them in heaven can also like us, on the other side

of the happiness and lived happily. At this point, we can not help but think of

them once and those days we spent together, I can remember all those pictures as

if thought of these, I burst into tears.

Spring scenery greeted my eyes in the distance, the birds singing in the

spring of sonata, creamy TaoGongLiuLu, golden rape, "shoots" blowing leaves

fall, green shoots out long, everywhere is a piece of the scene of spring, all

things recovery, which is a season full of expectations and wishes.

Tomb-sweeping day, let us in such a special day, we in the memory of the past

and at the same time, also want to the future full of hope, cherish life, let

oneself life more meaningful, dont use such a beautiful life. Also have a new

understanding of the life, let oneself every day was honest, such ability will

not let myself regret, and live up to others.

“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。

译文：

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。

今天是四月五日，妈妈告诉我今天是清明节，今天一家人要去扫墓。

Today is April 5th, my mother told me that today is the Ching Ming Festival, one family to sweep the tombs today.

我兴高采烈的在墓胖跳来跳去，爷爷叫我不要在墓旁乱跑，这是不好的行为。我见爷爷他们在墓前建拉一个不知名的东西。大惑不解的我问：“这是啥东东?”爸爸说：“这是食台，专门供祖先品尝这些我们给祖先的食物”。

I be jubilant at the tomb of the fat to jump, grandpa told me not to run around in the tomb, which is not good behavior. I see my grandfather they pull an unknown things in front of the grave. Be not a little bewildered I asked: "what is this?" Dad said: "this is food, specifically for these to our ancestors ancestors taste food".

到家后我问：“爸爸为啥我们一定要供奉祖先那?”爸爸说：“因为古代的习俗，我们也要这样做。”我想我长大后一定要比古代人更孝顺。正所谓：红出于蓝更胜于蓝。

After arriving home, I asked: "Dad, why do we have to worship the ancestors?" Dad said: "because of the ancient customs, we have to do." I think I must be more filial piety than ancient people grow up. As the saying goes: out of the blue red it.

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.

今天是清明节，我早早的就起床了，穿上校服，戴上红领巾，早早的来到了学校。到了学校以后，老师先让我们排好队，听了校长的讲话后，我们一起出发了。今天的天气非常好，晴空万里，暖暖的春风吹在脸上，暖洋洋的真舒服，我们排着整齐的队伍，举着红旗，在老师的带领下，到文山去扫墓，我往后一看，队伍一眼望不到边。

My hometown is on a big mountain near Xianyou County town. After 1 hours of winding roads, we finally arrived at the destination -- my familiar hometown in dreams.

As soon as we got off the train, we could smell a fresh country smell, surrounded by green hills, and the whole countryside was so peaceful. We walked a few minutes to see an old house covered with mud, a place where Grandpa, grandma and Dad had lived before, and only Granny and grandfather lived there. As soon as I entered the door, I saw grandpa and grandma. They were elderly people. They smiled when they saw our arrival. After greeting grandpa and grandma, we are going to sweep grandpas grave. We climbed the hillside behind the house. Sunny, bright spring days, both sides began to busy road. The small green grass shows the small head, the busy ant in the spring transportation, the spring bamboo shoots also sneak out the small head, the mountain path is really interesting, while the chicken, the duck and us play, and the little sheep and the puppy race us in a moment. The distant green wheat fields and golden rape flowers add a bright color to the hometown of spring. After a while, we came to Grandpas tomb. My father took three bow to Grandpas gravestone with my mother and me. How I wish Grandpa would live beside us and enjoy this wonderful life with us.

China has a long history of more than 5,000 years, so the variety of

culture has been preserved. These meaningful cultures are treated as our

national treasure. In order to remember them, the government has named the

official holiday. Tomb-sweeping Day is one of the meaningful festivals. People

have days’ off every year and the families will get together, sweeping their

ancestors’ tombs. People believe that they do this can bring good luck, because

their ancestors will bless them. Some people question the meaning of this

festival, because they think people are superstitious. As for me, I think this

day teaches people to in honor of their ancestors and respect the culture. It is

not something about superstition, but about showing respect to the culture. We

need to pass on our culture from generations, or we will lose our national

treasure.

清明节似乎总是与雨分不开的。这个清明节便是一个不下雨的雨天。

Tomb Sweeping Day seems inseparable from rain. The Ching Ming Festival is a rain does not rain.

那是周二的上午，阳光明媚的清晨丝丝柔和的光照在我迷茫的脸上美妙极了。

It was Tuesday morning, sunny morning filar silk soft light in my face, wonderful confused.

远足一直走到陈辉陵园。咦?我这个长跑历来不及格。体力超差的人怎么一点也不累?据说人沉思时不会累。那我呢?总在沉思陈辉吧?

Hiking all the way to the Chen Hui cemetery. Huh? I never pass this long-distance race. Manual super bad man was not a bit tired? It is said that people who meditate will not be tired. What about me? Always thinking about Chen Hui?

天空中艳阳高照，可我的心却愈来愈低沉。静立在碑前，心想“为什么这革命烈士如此好的人，却没得好报呢?好人真的有好报吗?……”

The sun is shining in the sky, but my heart is more and more deep. Standing in the grave, I thought "why this revolutionary martyrs so good, but not good? Good people really?... "

台上的那位老师还在说着，不过语速越来越慢。我想那不仅仅是身体上的影响，而是更深层的心理上的创伤。

The teacher was talking about on the table, but more and more slow speed. I think it is not only the physical effects, but the deeper psychological trauma.

回去的路上，阳光灿烂地直射我的眼，刺地我会不过神来。

On the way back, sunny shining straight into my eyes, I will be the God to come.

蓦地回头，依稀还记得我身旁的阳光强烈而远处那痕痕丝线般的光线却轻轻抚摸着身旁的柳枝。柳枝刚刚长出嫩叶，但已颇为可爱。

Suddenly look back, vaguely remember me strong sunshine and the distance that mark the silk like rays were gently stroked the side branches. Willow just leaves, but is quite lovely.

猛然想起，“不是不报，时机未到”。陈辉烈士的好报也许还未开始?兴许报效祖国使祖国便是他的追求.他所期望的包袋?

Suddenly remind of, is not reported, the time has not yet come". Chen Hui martyr himself might never have started? Perhaps the motherland to make our motherland is his pursuit. The bag he expected?

天空依旧万里无云，但我心中的甘雨却已在浸润我的心田。

The sky was cloudless, but my heart is already in the infiltration of rain in my heart.

"Rains fall heavily as qingming comes, and passers-by with lowered spirits go......" This solar term of year, we will be in my heart silently reciting the poet tu mus poem in tang dynasty, to express our ancestors thoughts.

This day, we will come to grave, placed a bouquet of flowers, burn some paper money, and wishing you so as to express our loved ones, and in my heart silently pray for them, bless them in heaven can also like us, on the other side of the happiness and lived happily. At this point, we can not help but think of them once and those days we spent together, I can remember all those pictures as if thought of these, I burst into tears.

Spring scenery greeted my eyes in the distance, the birds singing in the spring of sonata, creamy TaoGongLiuLu, golden rape, "shoots" blowing leaves fall, green shoots out long, everywhere is a piece of the scene of spring, all things recovery, which is a season full of expectations and wishes. Tomb-sweeping day, let us in such a special day, we in the memory of the past and at the same time, also want to the future full of hope, cherish life, let oneself life more meaningful, dont use such a beautiful life. Also have a new understanding of the life, let oneself every day was honest, such ability will not let myself regret, and live up to others.

“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。

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。

The weather of today is very good, in the afternoon, we all the teachers and students to the martyrs cemetery grave.

We row tidy team happy walk on the road, "leader" for the rockets red, the wind blows. The martyrs cemetery, we arranged in two way column slowly into the, road on both sides is tall, green pine trees, like a guard guarded the cemetery. We first came to the martyrs relics exhibition room, gallery is a row of glass cases, testimonials and civilian colthes, there is a old and rusty shells and grenades, see these relics, the students gradually quiet down, with low music loudspeaker, slowly tells the action story of heroes, the students listen quietly, quietly talking about, a heavy heart.

Our showrooms slightly out of the dark, walk under the bright sunshine, and came to the tomb area, the layout of the tomb as the steps of the amphitheatre, high level than the level, we are standing on the steps, at the tomb of the past, students have bundles of flowers tribute to the front of the tomb, a counselor teacher gave us a happy life now is these martyrs in the life, our red scarf is the blood of martyrs, we should study hard, grow up to serve the motherland. Everyone received a profound education.

At the tomb of the martyrs finished, we will be a tidy team return to school.

今天天气很好，下午，我们全校师生到烈士陵园扫墓。

我们排着整齐的队伍快乐的走在马路上，“领头羊”举着鲜红的校旗，随风飘扬。到了烈士陵园，我们排成两路纵队缓缓进入，道路两旁是高大苍翠的松柏树，像一个个卫兵守卫着陵园。我们首先来到烈士遗物陈列室，陈列室里是一排排玻璃展柜，里面有陈旧的奖状和军功章，还有锈迹斑斑的弹壳和手榴弹，看到这些遗物，同学们慢慢地安静下来，喇叭里伴随着低沉的音乐，缓缓讲述着英雄们的战斗事迹，同学们静静地听着，小声的议论着，心情沉重。

我们走出略显幽暗的陈列室，走在明亮的阳光下，又来到烈士墓区，墓碑的布置就像阶梯教室的台阶，一级比一级高，我们站在台阶下，瞻仰烈士墓，同学们把一束束鲜花敬献到烈士墓前，辅导员老师给我们讲解着现在的幸福生活就是这些烈士用生命换来的，我们的红领巾是烈士的鲜血染红的，我们应该努力学习，长大报效祖国。大家都受到了深刻的教育。

祭扫完烈士墓，我们就排着整齐的队伍返回学校。

“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.
