清明节的简介

清明节的简介【篇一：清明节介绍】清明节（april 4）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。
