习俗

清明节的习俗是丰富有趣的，除 了讲究禁火、扫墓，还有踏青、 荡秋千、踢蹴鞠、打马球、插柳 等一系列风俗体育活动。相传这 是因为寒食节要寒食禁火，为了 防止寒食冷餐伤身，所以大家来 参加一些体育活动，来锻炼身体。 清明节，民间忌使针，忌洗衣， 大部分地区妇女忌行路。傍晚以 前，要在大门前洒一条灰线，据 说可以阻止鬼魂进宅。 因此， 这个节日中既有祭扫新坟生离死 别的悲酸泪，又有踏青游玩的欢 笑声，是一个富有特色的节日。

清明节来历


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.
诗歌赏析


这首诗描写清明时节的天气特征，抒发了孤身行路 之人的情绪和希望。 清明时节，天气多变，有时春光明媚，花红柳绿， 有时却细雨纷纷，绵绵不绝。首句“清明时节雨纷 纷”写出了“泼火雨”的特征（清明前两天是寒日 节，旧俗要禁火三天，这时候下雨称为“泼火 雨”）。次句“路上行人欲断魂”写行路人的心境。 “断魂”，指内心十分凄迷哀伤而并不外露的感情。 这位行人为何“欲断魂”呢？因为清明在我国古代 是个大节日，照例该家人团聚，一起上坟祭扫，或 踏青游春。现在这位行人孤身一人，在陌生的地方 赶路，心里的滋味已不好受，偏偏又淋了雨，衣衫 全被打湿，心境就更加凄迷纷乱了。 如何排遣愁绪呢？行人自然想：最好在附近找个酒 家，一来歇歇脚，避避雨；二来饮点酒，解解寒； 更主要的可借酒驱散心中的愁绪。于是他问路了： “借问酒家何处有？”问谁，没有点明。末句“牧 童遥指杏花村”中的“牧童”二字，既是本句的主 语，又补充说明上句问的对象。牧童的回答以行动 代替语言，行人顺着他手指的方向望去，只见在一 片红杏盛开的树梢，隐隐约约露出了一个酒望子 （古代酒店的标帜）。诗到这里戛然而止，至于行 人如何闻讯而喜，兴奋地赶上前去，找到酒店饮上 几杯，获得了避雨、解寒、消愁的满足等等，
诗歌
《清明》（唐）杜牧 清明时节雨纷纷， 路上行人欲断魂。 借问酒家何处有？ 牧童遥指杏花村。
