Qingming Festival, or the Tomb-Sweeping Day is one of the Chinese Twenty-four Solar Terms. It is on April 4th or 5th of the Gregorian calendar. It is the crucial time for plowing and sowing in the spring. From that date, the temperatures begin to rise and rainfall increases.
清明节是中国二十四节气之一。它是在公历4月4日或5日。这是春耕播种的关键时刻。从那一天起，气温开始上升，降雨量增加。
清明节来源
The Origin of Qingming Festival
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.
据说，清明节最初是为了纪念春秋时期的一个忠臣介子推。介子推从自己腿上割下一块肉，救了被迫逃离自己国家的饥饿的晋国公子重耳。
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.
后来，重耳重振旗鼓后成为晋文公，然而登上王位他忘记了介子推的牺牲。然而，在被提醒后，他感到羞愧，并决定奖励这位忠臣，但介子推和他的母亲躲在山中。为了找到介子推，晋文公下令放火烧山。
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.
不幸的是，介子推被发现和他的母亲一起死了。为了纪念他的死期，晋文公宣布这一天为寒食节——这一天只能吃冷的食物。
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.
一年后，晋文公到山上去悼念介子推，发现那些被烧毁的柳树又复活了，于是他下令将寒食节的第二天定为清明节。最终，这两个节日合二为一。
清明节习俗
The Customs of Qingming Festival
Cleaning the tombs and paying respect to the dead with offerings are the two important practices to remember late relatives. Weeds around the tomb are cleared away and fresh soil is added to show care for the dead. The dead person’s favorite food, wine and chopsticks are offered on their tombs, along with paper money.
Not only is it a day for commemorating the dead, but it is also a time for people to enjoy themselves.
这一天不仅是纪念死者的日子，也是人们享受生活的日子。
As trees turn green, flowers blossom, and the sun shines brightly, everything returns to life. It is a fine time to appreciate the beauty of nature. This custom can be traced back to the Spring and Autumn Period (770 – 476BC) and Warring States Period (475 – 221BC).
树木变绿，花儿绽放，阳光明媚，万物复苏。这是欣赏大自然之美的好时机。这个习俗可以追溯到春秋时期(公元前770 – 476年)和战国时期(公元前475 – 221年)。
Flying kites is also closely associated with the Qingming Festival.
放风筝也是和清明节密切联系的一项活动。
