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 one's 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.
清明節(jié)是一個紀念祖先的節(jié)日。主要的紀念儀式是掃墓，掃墓是慎終追遠、郭親睦鄰及行孝的具體表現(xiàn);基于上述意義，清明節(jié)因此成為華人的重要節(jié)日。 清明節(jié)是在仲春和暮春之交，也就是冬至后的106天。掃墓活動通常是在清明節(jié)的前十天或后十天。有些地域的人士的掃墓活動長達一個月。

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.
談到清明節(jié)，有點歷史知識的人，都會聯(lián)想到歷史人物介子椎。據(jù)歷史記載，在兩千多年以前的春秋時代，晉國公子重耳逃亡在外，生活艱苦，跟隨他的介子椎不惜從自己的腿上割下一塊肉讓他充饑。后來，重耳回到晉國，作了國君(即晉文公，春秋五霸之一)，大事封賞所有跟隨他流亡在外的隨從，惟獨介子椎拒絕接受封賞，他帶了母親隱居綿山。
晉文公無計可施，只好放火燒山，他想，介子椎孝順母親，一定會帶著老母出來。誰知這場大火卻把介子椎母子燒死了。為了紀念介子椎，晉文公下令每年的這一天，禁止生火，家家戶戶只能吃生冷的食物，這就是寒食節(jié)的來源。
寒食節(jié)是在清明節(jié)的前一天，古人常把寒食節(jié)的活動延續(xù)到清明，久而久之，清明取代了寒食節(jié)。拜介子椎的習俗也變成了清明掃墓的習俗了。無論以何種形式紀念，為了使紀念祖先的儀式更有意義，我們應(yīng)該讓年輕一代的家庭成員了解先人過去的奮斗歷史，當然，還要學(xué)習介子椎寧死不屈的氣節(jié)。

Last Qingming Festival,i return home to worship my grandfather.Qingming Festival is a folk Festival.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 family's 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.
去年清明節(jié)，我回家拜訪我的祖父。清明節(jié)是民間的節(jié)日。過去，清明節(jié)被稱作植樹節(jié)。但是現(xiàn)在，中國人去往他們的家庭墓地去看那些新生的草木。除去雜草，清理垃圾，家人也會放一些事物和冥錢之類的東西。不像家庭的家用祭壇，在目的放置的東西通常是干燥、刺激性的食物。有一種理論認為，既然一個墓穴旁邊有很多鬼魂，那么缺乏吸引力的食物將會被祖先們食用，而不是被陌生人奪走。
隨著時間的推移，這樣的生活慶祝成了祖先光榮的日子。繼承民間宗教，中國人認為，死去的祖先的靈魂照顧著家人。供上一些事物和金錢可以讓靈魂感到開心，家里就會有得到好運，有好收成或有更多的孩子。
