qingming festival(清明节英语介绍)

the qingming (pure brightness) festival is one of the 24

asonal division points in china, falling on april 4-6 each year.

after the festival, the temperature will ri up and rainfall

increas. it is the high time for spring plowing and sowing. but

the qingming festival is not only a asonal point to guide farm

work, it is more a festival of

commemoration.

the qingming festival es a combination of sadness and

happiness.

this is the most important day of sacrifice. both the han and

minority ethnic groups at this time offer sacrifices to their

ancestors and sweep the tombs of the diad. also, they will

not cook on this day and only cold food is rved.

the hanshi (cold food) festival was usually one day before the

qingming festival. as our ancestors often extended the day to

the qingming, they were later combined.

on each qingming festival, all cemeteries are crowded with

people who came to sweep tombs and offer sacrifices. traffic

on the way to the cemeteries becomes extremely jammed. the

customs have been greatly simplified today. after slightly

sweeping the tombs, people offer food, flowers and favorites of

the dead, then burn incen and paper money and bow before

the memorial tablet.

in contrast to the sadness of the tomb sweepers, people also

enjoy hope of spring on this day. the qingming festival is a time

when the sun shines brightly, the trees and grass become

green and nature is again lively. since ancient times, people

have followed the custom of spring outings. at this time

tourists are everywhere.

people love to fly kites during the qingming festival. kite flying

is actually not limited to the qingming festival. its uniqueness

lies in that people fly kites not during the day, but also at night.

a string of little lanterns tied onto the kite or the thread look like

shining stars, and therefore, are called gods lanterns.

the qingming festival is also a time to plant trees, for the

survival rate of saplings is high and trees grow fast later. in the

past, the

qingming festival was called arbor day. but since 1979, arbor

day was ttled as march 12 according to the gregorian

calendar.

清明节

清明是我国的二十四节气之一。由于二十四节气比较客观地反映了一年四季气温、降雨、物候等方面的变化，所以古代劳动人民用它安排农事活动。但是，清明作为节日，与纯粹的节气又有所不同。节气是我国物候变化、时令顺序的标志，而节日则包含着一定的风俗活动和某种纪念意义。因此，这个节日中既有祭扫新坟生别死离的悲酸泪，又有踏青游玩的欢笑声，是一个富有特色的节日。

清明节是我国传统节日，也是最重要的祭祀节日，是祭祖和扫墓的日子。扫墓俗称上坟，祭祀死者的一种活动。汉族和一些少数民族大多都是在清明节扫墓。由于清明与寒食的日子接近，而寒食是民间禁火扫墓的日子，渐渐的，寒食与清明就合二为一了，而寒食既成为清明的别称，也变成为清明时节的一个习俗，清明之日不动烟火，只吃凉的食品。

按照旧的习俗，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。

与清明节扫墓的悲哀相反，人们在这个春光明媚的日子里，也一样是可以享受生活的。

放风筝也是清明时节人们所喜爱的活动。每逢清明时节，人们不仅白天放，夜间也放。夜里在风筝下或风稳拉线上挂上一串串彩色的小灯笼，象闪烁的明星，被称为“神灯”。

清明前后，春阳照临，春阳照临，春雨飞洒，种植树苗成活率高，成长快。因此，自古以来，我国就有清明植树的习惯。有人还把清明节叫作“植树节”。植树风俗一直流传至今。1979年，人大常委会规定，每年三月十二日为我国植树节。这对动员全国各族人民积极开展绿化祖国活动，有着十分重要的意

义。

清明既是二十四节气之一，又是中华名族传统的祭祖日，现如今也是春光踏青的“小长假”。

清明一到，春回大地，精神气爽，一年的劳作从此开始。

清明这天，祭拜祖先，缅怀故人，放飞思念，心存感恩。

清明小假，踏青插柳，出游赏花，陶冶身心，积蓄能量。

【篇二：英文说传统清明】

清明节及其起源英文介绍

qing ming festival and its origin

qing ming, which means clear and bright in chine, 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 ones grief for his lost relatives. an

ancient elegiac poem, which described a grievous woman, was

read that vines tangled in vain and weeds crept in the

graveyard, and her husband slept there lonely. it was so

difficult to endure for her as if summer in the day and winter at

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

people often go to sweep and weed graves with whole family

and take a walk in the countryside as well. in tang dynasty, the

habit of taking an excursion on this day was developed. at this

time, spring returns and dominates the earth again. the feel of

growing life is in the air, with sap ascending in trees and buds

bursting. and the willow branches inrted on each gate add

vigor and vitality to the surroundings. but it actually means

more than that. this custom can be traced back to over one

thousand years ago.

during the period of spring and autumn in the jin kingdom,

one of the kings sons was called chong er. jealous of his talent,

a concubine fally accud him of rebellion to make her son

the crown prince. he had no choice but to flee and with him

were some officials. they hid themlves in a mountain and

went hungry for quite some time. an official named jie zitui took

great pain to cut some flesh from his thigh and cooked it for

chong er. when the fact was known the young master was

moved to tears and knelt down in gratitude. and jie replied his

best repayment should be a just king. they lived a life of hunger

and cold for three years until the evil concubine died. many

soldiers were nt to look for him and to escort him back home.

going into the carriage, he saw an official packed an old mat

onto a hor, he said laughingly, what on earth is the u of

that? throw it away! jie zitui heard it and sighed, it is hardship

that can be shared with his majesty but not prosperity. so he

went away quietly and lived in clusion with his old mother.

as chong er became king, he rewarded many people but he

forgot jie zitui. he did not realize it until was reminded. however

his invitation was refud and he flared up. soldiers were

ordered to burn up the mountain to force jie to come out. finally

they found jie and his mother scorched under a willow. he

would rather die than yield to the power. chong er was so

overwhelmed with regret that he ordered people hold memorial

ceremony for jie. so every year on that day folks mourned for

him and the day before ate cold meals, which avoided making

fire. later the custom of inrting willow branches on gates was

also added.

清明节的由来

清 明 节（tomb-sweeping day） qing ming jie（all souls day）

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 ones decead ancestors and family members.

becau it reinforces the ethic of filial piety, qing ming is a

major chine festival.

清明节是一个纪念祖先的节日。主要的纪念仪式是扫墓，扫墓是慎终追远、郭亲睦邻及行孝的具体表现；基于上述意义，清明节因此成为华人的重要节日。

literally meaning clear (qing) and bright (ming), this chine

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. chine 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.

清明节是在仲春和暮春之交，也就是冬至后的106天。扫墓活动通常是在清明节的前十天或后十天。有些地域的人士的扫墓活动长达一个月。

origin（起源）

qing ming is popularly associated with jie zi zhui, who lived in

shanxi province in 600

b.c. legend has it that jie saved his starving lords life by

rving a piece of his own leg. when the lord succeeded in

becoming the ruler of a small principality, he invited his faithful

follower to join him. however, jie declined his invitation,

preferring to lead a hermits life with his mother in the

mountains.

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，在两千多年以前的春秋时代，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腿上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），大事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。

believing that he could force jie out by burning the mountain,

the lord ordered his men to t the forest on fire. to his

consternation, jie cho to remain where he was and was burnt

to death. to commemorate jie, the lord ordered all fires in every

home to be put out on the anniversary of jies death. thus began

the cold food feast, a day when no food could be cooked since

no fire could be lit.

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。谁知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，禁止生火，家家户户只能吃生冷的食物，这就是寒食节的来源。

the cold food festival occurs on the eve of qing ming and is

often considered as part of the qing ming festival. as time

pass, the qing ming festival replaced the cold food festival.

whatever practice is obrved，the basic obrvation of qing

ming is to remember ones elders by making a special effort to

visit their graves, ashes or ancestral tablets. to make the visit

even more meaningful, some time should be spent to remind

the younger members of the family of the lives and

contributions of their ancestors, and the story of jie zi zhui who

choo death over capitulation.

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，清明取代了寒食节。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，为了使纪念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，还要学习介子椎宁死不屈的气节

2012各地清明节风俗习惯和来历（双语）

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、蹴鞠、打马球、插柳等一系列风俗体育活动。相传这是因为清明节要寒食禁火，为了防止寒食冷餐伤身，所以大家来参加一些体育

活动，以锻炼身体。因此，这个节日中既有祭扫新坟生别死离的悲酸泪，又有踏青游玩的欢笑声，是一个富有特色的节日。

【篇三：清明节的英文说法】

“清明节”的英文说法，清明节用英语怎么说，清明节的英语翻译。

清明节是我国重要的传统节日。从二十四节气上讲，它又是节气之一。它是唯一一个节日和节气并存的日子，可见古人对这一天的重视程度。

清明的具体日期在仲春和暮春之交，大约农历4月4、5、6日之间。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，祭扫坟墓和郊外踏青。农谚中也有清明忙种粟的说法。

作为中国人，对于这些从小看大的习俗我们当然不会陌生，可如果问你“清明”用英语怎么讲、你就未必知道了吧!

首先我们要清楚的是：作为节日的清明节、和作为节气的清明，它们的英文说法是不同的。

作为节日的清明节一般翻译为tomb sweeping festival或者tomb-sweeping day，扫墓节或扫墓日。这个翻译着重强调了清明节

的重要习俗“扫墓”。这种说法的好处是，老外一听就能大概明白这个节日的背后含义。

也有人把清明节翻译为all soulsday，这是一种站在对方文化角度考虑做出的翻译。因为all soulsday在西方是确实存在的节日，一般称为“万灵日”。这是一个宗教节日，在有的教派里甚至不止一天。教会会在这一天为那些去世后无法进入天堂的信徒祈祷，希望他们早日进入天堂。其基本意义和清明节相似，也是祭奠死者的节日。

另外再谈到作为节气的清明，它被译为clear and bright，清洁和明亮。我们也不难发现，这种译法强调的是清明时节的气候状况，和其他节气的翻译出发点一致。比如立夏被译为summer begins、小寒、大寒分别被译为slight cold和great cold。
