Qingming Festival
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.

Among the traditional Chinese festivals, this is the most important and the most bustling. Since it occurs at the end of winter and the beginning of spring, people also call it the Spring Festival.Chinese have many traditional customs relating to the Spring Festival. Since the 23rd day of the 12th lunar montha, people start to prepare for the event. Every family will undertake thorough cleaning, do their Spring Festival shopping, create paper-cuts for window decoration, put up New Year picturesb, write Spring Festival coupletsc, make New Year cakesd, and also prepare all kinds of food to bid farewell to the old and usher in the new.New Year's Eve is the time for a happy reunion of all family members, when they sit around the table to have a sumptuous New Year's Eve dinner, talking and laughing, until daybreak, which is called "staying up to see the year out". When the bell tolls midnight on New Year's Eve, people eat dumplings. In ancient times, midnight was called zishi (a period of the day from 11 p.m. to 1 a.m.). Dumplings (jiaozi) are eaten because it sounds the same as "change of the year and the day" in Chinese.From the first day of the lunar year, people pay New Year calls on relatives and friends, which is an important custom for the Spring Festival.Setting off firecrackers is the favorite activity of children in the Spring Festival. According to legend, this could drive off evil spirits.

The wonderful dragon lantern dance and the lion dance performances, along with various handicraft articles and local snacks attract thousands of people.With the development of the times, some changes have taken place inthe customs of spending the Spring Festival. For example, to prevent environmental pollution, many cities have banned firecrackers. But this does not have an impact on the happy atmosphere of the festival.

中国传统节日和民俗简介(附英文)
中国传统节日Traditional Chinese holiday中国的传统节庆膳食是节日必不可少的伴侣。
例如，我国的端午节(the Dragon Boat Festival)是纪念古代诗人屈原的日子。
那一天，人们通常要赛龙舟、吃粽子(zongzi)。
中秋节是观赏满月的日子。
圆圆的月亮象征着圆满，象征着家庭团聚。
因此，中秋节(TheMid-autumnFestival)的特制食品是一种圆形的月饼。
春节是中国的农历新年(the Chinese lunar New Year’s holiday)，除了常见的家禽和肉类之外，人们还要按各自的地方习俗烹制传统食物，如饺子和年糕。
端午节The Duanwu Festival端午节，又叫龙舟节，是为了纪念爱国诗人屈原。
屈原是一位忠诚和受人敬仰的大臣,他给国家带来了和平和繁荣。
但最后因为受到诽谤（vilify）而最终投河自尽。
人们撑船到他自尽的地方，抛下粽子，希望鱼儿吃粽子，不要吃屈原的身躯。
几千年来，端午节的特色在于吃粽子（glutinous dumplings）和赛龙舟，尤其是在一些河湖密布的南方省份。
春节The Spring Festival在我国，一年有很多节日，在这些节日中，我最喜欢春节。
这不仅因为它是一年中最大的节日，更因为它是新一年的开始，给人们带来新的希望，也因为它是亲朋好友团聚的时刻。
不管身在何方，人们总会在春节前回到家里准备过节。
通常，我们会在除夕夜吃一顿丰盛的晚餐，之后家人团座一起，分享一年以来的生活以及新年计划。
有的人则会玩游戏或者出去玩。
大年初一，人们通常会早起，会与见到的人说吉祥话。
孩子们会得到压岁钱。
在接下来的几天里，人们会带上新年祝福互相串门拜年。
总之，春节是一个欢聚一堂、供人享乐的日子。

So the QingStatesent a spy to the ChuStatealienating its court. At last Quyuan, one patriot, was discharged. Due to his affection towards his motherland, Sir Qu could not put into practice of his ability. Seeing such terrible situation, he could do nothing to help the king. So he chosen to die and sacrifice himself for his motherland. As a result, every year the Chinese make special food Zhongzi (use some green herb leaves to wrap rice and tie it with a thread) then throw into the river, wishing fish and shrimp may eat Zhongzi and not Sir Qu „s body. They also hold the Dragon Boat Racing for scar the fish eating Sir. Qu. By this way the Chinese folk pay homage to the respected patriot. But today the customs is a little bit changed. Many folk can eat the green bean cake except the Zhongzi and the Dragon Boat Racing and most importantly the family member can hold together to appreciate the holiday.
