清明节 清明节气的关系（清明节 清明草）

The Qing Ming festival is a day of reverence for Chinese。People hold ceremonies for ancestors，and sweep their tombs on April 5th every year。According to tradition，during the Tomb Sweeping，people put food in front of the tombs，add new soil on the tomb。 Decorate the tombs with some fresh branches and knock head。A traditional Chinese painting named Riverside Scene on the Qing Ming festival，drawn nine hundred years ago，shows the prosperous atmosphere and activities on that day。People returned from Tomb Sweeping with horses and packages in the picture。Now it is a public holiday in China，Although ceremonies have changed a little with time ，Chinese still express their grief for the deceased。

清明节是中国人的祭祀节日。在每年的4月5日左右，人们祭祖和扫墓，按照旧时习俗，扫墓时，人们来到墓地，将食物供祭在亲人墓前，为坟墓培上新土，折几枝嫩绿的新枝，插在坟上，然后叩头祭拜，900多年前的一副中国画《清明上河图》，描绘了当时人们，在过清明节时的繁荣景象和节日风俗，人们骑着马，挑着担，从扫墓的地方归来。现在，清明节已经成为中国的法定节日，虽然随着时间的推移，祭祀的习俗可能悄悄改变，但中国人依然会，在清明节这一天伴着春天的细雨，用自己的方式寄托对故人的哀思。
