春分后十五天，是清明節(jié)。古人有多詩詞寫到清明，其中有一首著名的唐詩，題目就叫《清明》，作者是杜牧。詩的內(nèi)容如下：清明時節(jié)雨紛紛，路上行人欲斷魂。借問酒家何處有，牧童遙指杏花村。這首詩講的是古代的一個清明節(jié)，天上下著雨，路上行走的人像斷了魂似的，因為他們想起了自己去世的親人、朋友。那天作者杜牧掃墓回來，想借酒消愁，就問路上的牧童，哪里有酒家？牧童用手指了指遠(yuǎn)處的杏花村。

Fifteen days after the spring equinox is Qingming Festival. There are many poems written by the ancients in Qingming Dynasty, including a famous poem of Tang Dynasty, the title of which is Qingming, written by Du Mu. The content of the poem is as follows: in the clear and bright season, there are many rains, and pedestrians on the road want to break their souls. Ask where there is a restaurant. Shepherd boy points to Xinghua village. This poem is about a Qingming Festival in ancient times. It's raining in the sky, and people walking on the road seem to have broken their souls, because they think of their dead relatives and friends. That day, Du Mu, the author, came back from his tomb and wanted to drink to relieve his worries. He asked the shepherd boy on the road where there was a wine house? The shepherd boy pointed to the apricot blossom village in the distance.

清明節(jié)最重要的事情就是掃墓。掃墓無非就是把墳?zāi)勾驋吒蓛?，也就是掃去墳頭的落葉，拔去野草，補好墳?zāi)股系穆┒矗λ廊サ娜诉M(jìn)行祭拜。就是這點兒小事，卻從中看出了人們對死去親人或朋友的尊重和思念。清明還有一種掃墓的對象，不是親人，不是朋友，他們和我們互不相識，但他們曾經(jīng)為我們的國家和社會而犧牲了生命，受到所有人的尊重和愛戴。對，他們就是烈士。我們的學(xué)校每年都會組織學(xué)生去給烈士掃墓。

Tomb sweeping is the most important thing in Qingming Festival. Tomb sweeping is nothing more than cleaning the tomb, that is, sweeping away the fallen leaves, pulling out the weeds, mending the holes in the tomb, and worshiping the dead. It is this little thing that shows people's respect and yearning for their dead relatives or friends. There is also a kind of tomb sweeping object, not relatives, not friends. They don't know each other, but they have sacrificed their lives for our country and society, and are respected and loved by all people. Yes, they are martyrs. Our school organizes students to visit the martyrs' tombs every year.

清明時節(jié)，天氣轉(zhuǎn)暖，百花盛開，滿山遍野。正是踏青的好時間。許多人趁著這個機會出來走一走，去郊游，去野餐。有的地方，人們會把柳樹上的柳枝折下來，編成一個圈，在柳圈上插滿了各種小花，戴在頭上。有的地方，人們會把柳枝插在泥土里，這里插一株，那里插一株，插得倒處都是。過了一年，柳枝變成了小柳樹。怪不得人們總是說“有心栽花花不開，無心插柳柳成蔭”，原來柳樹這么容易栽活。

In the Qingming Festival, the weather turns warm, and flowers are in full bloom. It's a good time for outing. Many people take advantage of this opportunity to go out for a walk, go outing and picnic. In some places, people will fold down the willow branches on the willow tree and weave them into a circle, which is filled with all kinds of small flowers and put them on their heads. In some places, people will plant willow branches in the soil, one here and one there, all over the place. After a year, the willow branch became a small willow. No wonder people always say that" you can't plant flowers with your heart, but you can't plant willows with your heart". It turns out that willows are so easy to plant.

還有的地方，人們喜歡在這個時節(jié)蕩秋千。在這一天，小女孩、大姑娘們把自己打扮得漂漂亮亮的，約上女伴一起去蕩秋千。有時人多了，她們還會舉行蕩秋千比賽，誰蕩的越高，誰就得勝。

Other places, people like to swing in this season. On this day, the little girls and the big girls dress up beautifully and ask their partners to go on the swing together. Sometimes, when there are more people, they will hold a swing competition. Whoever swings higher will win.

清明還有許多專門的美食，比如青團(tuán)。說到青團(tuán)，人們就會情不自禁地流下口水。因為青團(tuán)可是人間一大美味。我們這里家家戶戶都會做青團(tuán)。去踏青的時候，他們會摘一些叫“青”的野草，把它搗爛后，和糯米粉揉在一起，包上餡兒，在鍋里蒸熟，就做成了青團(tuán)。青團(tuán)有兩種口味，有甜的，有咸的，而小孩們大多貪甜的。

There are many special cuisines in Qingming, such as qingtuan. When it comes to the Youth League, people can't help drooling. Because qingtuan is a great delicacy in the world. Every family here can be a Youth League. When they go for a outing, they will pick some weeds called" green", mash them up, knead them with glutinous rice flour, wrap them with stuffing, steam them in the pot, and make them into green dough. There are two flavors of green dough, sweet and salty, while most children are greedy for sweet.

清明的文化很是豐富，需要你們自己去慢慢感受和發(fā)現(xiàn)，我們今天在這里寫下的，只是冰山一角。

Qingming culture is very rich, you need to slowly feel and find out. What we write here today is just the tip of the iceberg.
