清明节的由来:
Origin of Tomb-sweeping Day
清明节是纪念先祖的节日。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;也因此,清明节被称为是中国华人重要节日。
清明节是在仲春和暮春之交,也就是冬至后的108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。
Ching Ming Festival is a time to remember the dead and the dearly departed. More important, it is a period to honor and to pay respect to
one's deceased ancestors and family members. Because it reinforces the ethic of filial piety, Ching Ming Festival is a major Chinese festival.
Literally meaning "clear" (Ching) and "bright" (Ming), this Chinese festival falls in early spring, on the 108th day after the winter solstice.
It is a "spring" festival, and an occasion for the whole family to leave the home and to sweep the graves of their forebears.
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.
