有关清明节的由来:相传在秦朝末年,汉⾼祖刘邦和西楚霸王项⽻,⼤战好⼏回合后,终于取得天下。他光荣返回故乡的时
候,想要到⽗母亲的坟墓上去祭拜,却因为连年的战争,使得⼀座座的坟墓上长满杂草,墓碑东倒西歪,有的断落,有的破
裂,⽽⽆法辨认碑上的⽂字。
刘邦⾮常的难过,虽然部下也帮他翻遍所有的墓碑,可是直到黄昏的时候还是没找到他⽗母的坟墓。最後刘邦从⾐袖⾥拿出⼀
张纸,⽤⼿撕成许多⼩碎⽚,紧紧捏在⼿上,然後向上苍祷告说:“爹娘在天有灵,现在风刮得这么⼤,我将把这些⼩纸⽚,
抛向空中,如果纸⽚落在⼀个地⽅,风都吹不动,就是爹娘的坟墓。”说完刘邦把纸⽚向空中抛,果然有⼀⽚纸⽚落在⼀座坟
墓上,不论风怎么吹都吹不动,刘邦跑过去仔细瞧⼀瞧模糊的墓碑,果然看到他⽗母的名字刻在上⾯。
刘邦⾼兴得不得了,马上请⼈重新整修⽗母亲的墓,⽽且从此以后,每年的清明节⼀定到⽗母的坟上祭拜。后来民间的百姓,
也和刘邦⼀样每年的清明节都到祖先的坟墓祭拜,并且⽤⼩⼟块压⼏张纸⽚在坟上,表⽰这座坟墓是有⼈祭扫的。
