ORIGIN(起源)

Qing Ming is popularly associated with Jie Zi Zhui, who lived in Shanxi provin 600 B.C. Legend has it that Jie saved his starving lord's life by serving a pif his own leg. When the lord succeeded in becoming the ruler of a small princiy, he invited his faithful follower to join him. However, Jie declined his invitationerring 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 order

s men to set the forest on fire. To his consternation, Jie chose to remain wherwas and was burnt to death. To commemorate Jie, the lord ordered all fires in

y home to be put out on the anniversary of Jie's death. Thus began the "cold

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 consides part of the Qing Ming festival. As time passes, the Qing Ming festival replace "cold food" festival. Whatever practice is observed,the basic observation of Qing is to remember one's elders by making a special effort to visit their graves,

s or ancestral tablets. To make the visit even more meaningful, some time shoe spent to remind the younger members of the family of the lives and contributof their ancestors, and the story of Jie Zi Zhui who choose death over capitula

谈到清明节,有点历史知识的人,都会联想到历史人物介子椎。据历史记载,在两年以前的春秋时代,晋国公子重耳逃亡在外,生活艰苦,跟随他的介子椎不惜从自己的割下一块肉让他充饥。后来,重耳回到晋国,作了国君(即晋文公,春秋五霸之一),封赏所有跟随他流亡在外的随从,惟独介子椎拒绝接受封赏,他带了母亲隐居绵山。

晋文公无计可施,只好放火烧山,他想,介子椎孝顺母亲,一定会带着老母出来。这场大火却把介子椎母子烧死了。为了纪念介子椎,晋文公下令每年的这一天,禁止生家家户户只能吃生冷的食物,这就是寒食节的来源。

寒食节是在清明节的前一天,古人常把寒食节的活动延续到清明,久而久之,清明了寒食节。拜介子椎的习俗也变成了清明扫墓的习俗了。无论以何种形式纪念,为了使祖先的仪式更有意义,我们应该让年轻一代的家庭成员了解先人过去的奋斗历史,当然要学习介子椎宁死不屈的气节。

2、清明节风俗

1) 扫墓

清明时节祭扫祖坟(俗称"上坟")。无锡的传统民俗较有代表性。扫墓时要挑些新坟茔,而且凡新坟一定要在清明前祭扫,旧坟可以过清明.但不能过立夏。新媳妇一定祭扫祖坟,俗称"上花坟"。扫墓时用荤、素菜肴和酒、饭等祭奠。后用干果糕点等替代至今日,在烈士陵园缅怀革命先烈成为清明节里很重要的内容,在祭炎黄二祖、悼念自先祖的同时,缅怀先烈的丰功伟绩,使今天的清明活动具有了更重要的教育意义。

2) 踏青

清明时节,气候温暖和煦,大地皆春,处处鲜花嫩草,一片生机盎然,人们纷纷外青。在无锡,踏青的最好场所莫过于惠山。不上惠山的,上城墙绕城而走,叫登高踏青门东林庵一带,为士女聚集处,故有"东林庵里看桃花"的说法。这天,也是东乡胶山和北山的节场,附近还有赛会,故斗山别名清明山。人们都上山踏青,赶节场,观看赛会。宵节至清明节,大人孩子,三五成群,到野外放凤筝,别有情趣。

3) 门旁插柳和戴柳枝帽

清明节那天,有家家门口插柳条的风俗。在一些地区,还流行小孩带柳枝帽的风门旁插柳和戴柳枝帽习俗的来源也是根据介子椎的传说。据说,介子椎是死在柳树下面介子椎死后的第二年晋文公率领群臣到绵山致祭,一行人先在山下寒食一日,第二天才那棵柳树,已经长出了翠绿的嫩条。晋文公看了,心中忽有所感,便走上前去,掐了一编成一个圈儿带在头上。随从的臣下看了,也纷纷仿效他折柳插头。晋文公便把这棵柳树为清明柳,把这一天定为清明节。

3、清明与节气

清明节即是节气又是节日。从节气上来说,它是24节气之一。

我国2000多年前的秦汉时期已基本形成了24节气。24节气综合了天文学和气象学等方知识,编排了"春雨惊春清谷天,夏满芒夏暑相连。秋处露秋寒霜降,冬雪雪冬小大寒"的其中清明被排在歌谣的第五位。也是农历历法中的第五个节气。

此时,天气转暖,大地回春,万物复苏,一片生机盎然,家家门口插柳条,祭扫坟郊外踏青。农谚中也有"清明忙种粟"的说法。作为以花信为标志的花信风。清明的花期为桐花,二侯麦花,三侯柳花,充分点明了清明节气的花期和花种。《岁时百问》说"万物此时,皆清洁而明净,故谓之清明"。

Qing Ming, which means clear and bright in Chinese, falls on April 5th this year.

It is both the fifth term in the traditional lunar calendar and a festival to hold

memorial ceremony for the dead. It is a time to express one's grief for his lost

relatives. An ancient elegiac poem, which described a grievous woman, was read that

at night. And her only wish was to reunite with him after death.

清明节的由来(中英文解说)

清明节的由来(中英文解说) It is said that the Qingming Festival was originally held to commemorate Jie Zitui, a loyal man who lived during the Spring and Autumn Period. Jie cut a piece of meat from his own leg in order to save his hungry lord who was forced to flee from his own country. 相传清明节最初是为了纪念春秋时期(公元前770-476年)的一位忠臣介子推。晋国公子重耳被迫逃亡齐国,因咽不下野菜,介子推就从自己的腿上切下一块肉做成汤,说是麻雀汤让重耳吃下。 Later, when the lord regained his position, he forgot about Jie Zitui’s sacrifice. However, after being reminded, he felt ashamed and decided to reward the loyal man, but Jie had hidden in a mountain with his mother. In order to find Jie, the lord ordered that the mountain be set on fire. 重耳在秦国的帮助下,回到了晋国,平定了叛乱并当上国君,这就是历史上有名的晋文公。跟随他出逃的人都得到了封赏,而晋文公唯独忘了介子推。晋文公意识到自己的错误时,介子推和母亲已经隐居在山上,并拒绝出山。为了找到介子推,晋文公又中了奸臣计策下令放火烧山,想逼出孝子介子推。 Unfortunately, Jie was found dead with his mother. In order to commemorate the day of his death, the lord declared the date to be Hanshi (Cold Food) Festival — the day that only cold food can be eaten. 火灭时却发现介子推和母亲一起被烧死。为了纪念他,晋文公下令忌日百姓不得焚火煮饭,只吃寒食,这一天就是寒食节。 A year later, when the lord went to the mountain to commemorate Jie’s death, he found the burned willows had revived, so he gave instructions that the day after Hanshi Festival was to be Qingming Festival. Eventually, the two festivals were combined into one. 第二年忌日次日,晋文公上山祭祀介子推,发现介子推死前抱着的柳树又复活了起来,于是他下令寒食节的次日为清明节。后来,这两个节日合而为一。 【相关英语词汇】 Cold Food Festival 寒食节 Day of sacrifice 祭祀节日
