『壹』 求一篇关于清明节的英语文章

The Qingming (Pure Brightness) Festival is one of the 24 seasonal division points in China, falling on April 4-6 each year. After the festival, the temperature will rise up and rainfall increases. It is the high time for spring plowing and sowing. But the Qingming Festival is not only a seasonal point to guide farm work, it is more a festival of commemoration.

The Qingming Festival sees a combination of sadness and happiness.

This is the most important day of sacrifice. Both the Han and minority ethnic groups at this time offer sacrifices to their ancestors and sweep the tombs of the diseased. Also, they will not cook on this day and only cold food is served.

The Hanshi (Cold Food) Festival was usually one day before the Qingming Festival. As our ancestors often extended the day to the Qingming, they were later combined.

On each Qingming Festival, all cemeteries are crowded with people who came to sweep tombs and offer sacrifices. Traffic on the way to the cemeteries becomes extremely jammed. The customs have been greatly simplified today. After slightly sweeping the tombs, people offer food, flowers and favorites of the dead, then burn incense and paper money and bow before the memorial tablet.

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 ring the Qingming Festival. Kite flying is actually not limited to the Qingming Festival. Its uniqueness lies in that people fly kites not ring 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

Qing Ming, which means clear and bright in Chinese, falls on April 5th this year. It is both the fifth term in the traditional lunar calendar and a festival to hold memorial ceremony for the dead. It is a time to express one's grief for his lost relatives. An ancient elegiac poem, which described a grievous woman, was read that vines tangled in vain and weeds crept in the graveyard, and her husband slept there lonely. It was so difficult to enre for her as if summer in the day and winter at night. And her only wish was to reunite with him after death.

People often go to sweep and weed graves with whole family and take a walk in the countryside as well. In Tang Dynasty, the habit of taking an excursion on this day was developed. At this time, spring returns and dominates the earth again. The feel of growing life is in the air, with sap ascending in trees and buds bursting. And the willow branches inserted on each gate add vigor and vitality to the surroundings. But it actually means more than that. This custom can be traced back to over one thousand years ago.

During the Period of Spring and Autumn in the Jin Kingdom, one of the King's sons was called Chong Er. Jealous of his talent, a concubine falsely accused him of rebellion to make her son the crown prince. He had no choice but to flee and with him were some officials. They hid themselves in a mountain and went hungry for quite some time. An official named Jie Zitui took great pain to cut some flesh from his thigh and cooked it for Chong Er. When the fact was known the young master was moved to tears and knelt down in gratitude. And Jie replied his best repayment should be a just king. They lived a life of hunger and cold for three years until the evil concubine died. Many soldiers were sent to look for him and to escort him back home. Going into the carriage, he saw an official packed an old mat onto a horse, he said laughingly, 'What on earth is the use of that? Throw it away!' Jie Zitui heard it and sighed, 'It is hardship that can be shared with his majesty but not prosperity.' So he went away quietly and lived in seclusion with his old mother.

As Chong Er became king, he rewarded many people but he forgot Jie Zitui. He did not realize it until was reminded. However his invitation was refused and he flared up. Soldiers were ordered to burn up the mountain to force Jie to come out. Finally they found Jie and his mother scorched under a willow. He would rather die than yield to the power. Chong Er was so overwhelmed with regret that he ordered people hold memorial ceremony for Jie. So every year on that day folks mourned for him and the day before ate cold meals, which avoided making fire. Later the custom of inserting willow branches on gates was also added.

第四篇：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 lord's 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 hermit's 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 Jie's 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 one's 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.
翻译：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。

转眼，又是一个清明，在这个清明，我因为种种原因没能回爷爷家祭拜奶奶。
奶奶已经过世了一年多了，在这个雨纷飞的节日，我不禁回想起了奶奶那慈爱、祥和的面孔。奶奶那面孔仿佛又再次出现在我的眼前。
回想起奶奶在世时的情形，突然有种想哭的感觉。奶奶生前对我的好，一一像幻灯片似的，在我的脑海里闪过。奶奶那亲切的话语仿佛就在我的耳边响起。
至今，奶奶的愿望还在我的心中：我能带奶奶坐一次飞机，能去重庆我们的新房子一趟。可是，这些愿望都成为了幻想，直到奶奶生命的终结，都没能完成这些心愿……
在此，希望奶奶在另一个世界能过得好一些。这个清明里，折一朵白菊花，寄托我对奶奶无限的思念……
清明节遐思作文
“每年清明，你回家做什么？”
“扫墓咯！”
“扫墓？那是怎样扫啊？”
“怎么扫墓？不就是放祭品、烧纸钱、放鞭炮，再跪在祖先的坟前拜拜和求得他们的保佑呗！”
“求保佑？求什么保佑？”
“还能求什么？做生意的求生意兴隆，读书的求成绩好，做官的求步步高升，小孩子求快高长大嘛！这都不会？”
“就这样？还有吗？”
“没了！”
“……自私！”
自私？是的，我想是的很自私。
为何？
为何？为何呢？
每一个人都跪在祖先坟前求他保佑自己，却没有一个人好好站在坟前问问先人在另外一个世界过得如何。虽然这些问候他们不会知道，他亦不会从坟冢中跳出来告诉你；但是这么做，起码对死去的人表示了自己的尊重和一片心意啊！一年，就这么一天，在这么一天里，我们为何不表示一下对故人的尊重和关怀呢？这么“百求不厌”地索取，不觉得太过分了吗？
现在的人都说“死人吃的比活人都好”，可是为什么不想一想原因呢？我想了想，结论就是：因为他们死了。是的，因为他们死了。他们活着的时候没能吃上几顿好料，现在他们死了，难道就不能补偿他们一下吗？况且，现在的人，都是心甘情愿的买东西祭奠先人的吗？能有几个人真正怀着“缅怀先人”的心理去扫墓的呢？现在的人们，现在，“清明”对于现代人而言，就是一个任务，一种推脱不掉的责任。这一天必须回去扫墓，好像扫完了，这个任务就完成了，今年的这个责任，也就可以卸下了。可是，这一天的意义，真的就只是这样而已吗？若真如此，那“路上行人欲断魂”从何说起呢？
唉，现在的人啊……
