我国传统的清明节大约始于周代，已有二千五百多年的历史。清明最开始是一个很重要的节气，清明一到，气温升高，正是春耕春种的大好时节，故有“清明前后，种瓜种豆”。“植树造林，莫过清明”的农谚。后来，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。 清明——含有天气晴朗、空气清新明洁、逐渐转暖、草木繁茂之意。公历每年大约4月5 日为清明。 关于寒食，有这样一个传说： 相传春秋战国时代，晋献公的妃子骊姬为了让自己的儿子奚齐继位，就设毒计谋害太子申生，申生被逼自杀。申生的弟弟重耳，为了躲避祸害，流亡出走。在流亡期间，重耳受尽了屈辱。原来跟着他一道出奔的臣子，大多陆陆续续地各奔出路去了。只剩下少数几个忠心耿耿的人，一直追随着他。其中一人叫介子推。有一次，重耳饿晕了过去。介子推为了救重耳，从自己腿上割下了一块肉，用火烤熟了就送给重耳吃。十九年后，重耳回国做了君主，就是著名春秋五霸之一晋文公。 晋文公执政后，对那些和他同甘共苦的臣子大加封赏，唯独忘了介子推。有人在晋文公面前为介子推叫屈。晋文公猛然忆起旧事，心中有愧，马上差人去请介子推上朝受赏封官。可是，差人去了几趟，介子推不来。晋文公只好亲去请。可是，当晋文公来到介子推家时，只见大门紧闭。介子推不愿见他，已经背着老母躲进了绵山（今山西介休县东南）。晋文公便让他的御林军上绵山搜索，没有找到。于是，有人出了个主意说，不如放火烧山，三面点火，留下一方，大火起时介子推会自己走出来的。晋文公乃下令举火烧山，孰料大火烧了三天三夜，大火熄灭后，终究不见介子推出来。上山一看，介子推母子俩抱着一棵烧焦的大柳树已经死了。晋文公望着介子推的尸体哭拜一阵，然后安葬遗体，发现介子推脊梁堵着个柳树树洞，洞里好象有什么东西。掏出一看，原来是片衣襟，上面题了一首血诗： 割肉奉君尽丹心，但愿主公常清明。 柳下作鬼终不见，强似伴君作谏臣。 倘若主公心有我，忆我之时常自省。 臣在九泉心无愧，勤政清明复清明。 晋文公将血书藏入袖中。然后把介子推和他的母亲分别安葬在那棵烧焦的大柳树下。为了纪念介子推，晋文公下令把绵山改为“介山”，在山上建立祠堂，并把放火烧山的这一天定为寒食节，晓谕全国，每年这天禁忌烟火，只吃寒食。 走时，他伐了一段烧焦的柳木，到宫中做了双木屐，每天望着它叹道：“悲哉足下。”“足下”是古人下级对上级或同辈之间相互尊敬的称呼，据说就是来源于此。 第二年，晋文公领着群臣，素服徒步登山祭奠，表示哀悼。行至坟前，只见那棵老柳树死树复活，绿枝千条，随风飘舞。晋文公望着复活的老柳树，像看见了介子推一样。他敬重地走到跟前，珍爱地掐了一下枝，编了一个圈儿戴在头上。祭扫后，晋文公把复活的老柳树赐名为“清明柳”，又把这天定为清明节。 以后，晋文公常把血书袖在身边，作为鞭策自己执政的座佑铭。他勤政清明，励精图治，把国家治理得很好。 此后，晋国的百姓得以安居乐业，对有功不居、不图富贵的介子推非常怀念。每逢他死的那天，大家禁止烟火来表示纪念。还用面粉和着枣泥，捏成燕子的模样，用杨柳条串起来，插在门上，召唤他的灵魂，这东西叫“之推燕”（介子推亦作介之推）。此后，寒食、清明成了全国百姓的隆重节日。每逢寒食，人们即不生火做饭，只吃冷食。在北方，老百姓只吃事先做好的冷食如枣饼、麦糕等；在南方，则多为青团和糯米糖藕。每届清明，人们把柳条编成圈儿戴在头上，把柳条枝插在房前屋后，以示怀念。 在春光明媚，桃红柳绿的三四月间，中国传统习俗中最重视的其一节日就是清明节了。清明节就是现在的民族扫墓节。按主日说，约在四月五日前后，按农历，则是在三月上半月。古人把一年分为二十四节气，以这种岁时历法来播种、收成，清明便是二十四节气之一，时在春分后十五天，按“岁时百问”的说法：“万物生长此时，皆清洁而明净。故谓之清明。”所以，“清明”本为节气名，后来加了寒食禁火及扫墓的习俗才形成清明节的。 本来，寒食节与清明节是两个不同的节日，到了唐朝，将拜拜扫墓的日子定为寒食节。寒食节正碓的日子是在冬至后一百零五天，约在清明前后，因此便将清明与寒食合并为一了！ 在墓前祭祖扫墓，这个习俗在中国起源甚早。早在西周时对墓葬就十分重视。东周战国时代孟子的齐人篇也曾提及一个为人所耻笑的齐国人，常到东郭坟墓同乞食祭墓的祭品，可兄战国时代扫墓之风气十分盛行。到了唐玄宗时，下韶定寒食扫墓为当时“五礼”之一，因此每逢清明节来到，“田野道路，士女遍满，皂隶佣丐，皆得父母丘墓。”（柳宗元《与许京兆书》）扫墓遂成为社会重要风俗。 而在寒冷的冬天，又要禁火吃冷食，怕有些老弱妇孺耐不住寒冷，也为了防止寒食冷餐伤身，於是就定了踏青、郊游、荡秋千，踢足球、打马球、插柳，拔河，斗鸡等户外活动，让大家出来晒晒太扬，活动活动筋骨，增加抵抗力。 因此，清明节除了祭祖扫墓之外，还有各项野外健身活动，使这个节日，除了有慎终追远的感伤，还融合了欢乐赏春的气氛；既有生离死别的悲酸泪，又到处是一派清新明丽的生动景象。真是一个极富特色，非常特别的节日。 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。《淮南子·天文训》云:“春分后十五日，斗指乙，则清明风至。”按《岁时百问》的说法：“万物生长此时，皆清洁而明净。故谓之清明。”清明一到，气温升高，雨量增多，正是春耕春种的大好时节。故有“清明前后，点瓜种豆”、“植树造林，莫过清明”的农谚。可见这个节气与农业生产有着密切的关系。 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。 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。 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。唐代诗人杜牧的诗《清明》：“清明时节雨纷纷，路上行人欲断魂。借问酒家何处有？牧童遥指杏花村。”写出了清明节的特殊气氛。扫墓是清明节最早的一种习俗，这种习俗延续到今天，已随着社会的进步而逐渐简化。扫墓当天，子孙们先将先人的坟墓及周围的杂草修整和清理，然后供上食品鲜花等。 由于火化遗体越来越普遍，其结果是，前往骨灰置放所拜祭先人的方式逐渐取代扫墓的习俗。 新加坡华人也在庙宇里为死者立神主牌，庙宇因此也成了清明祭祖的地方。 清明节当天有些人家也在家里拜祭祖先。 在清明节这一天，可到先人坟地、骨灰放置所或寺庙的灵位前静默鞠躬。 不论以何种形式纪念，清明节最基本的仪式是到坟前、骨灰放置处或灵位前追念祖先。为了使纪念祖先的仪式更有意义，我们应让年轻一代的家庭成员了解先人过去的奋斗历史。 清明节，又叫踏青节，按阳历来说，它是在每年的4月4日至6日之间，正是春光明媚草木吐绿的时节，也正是人们春游（古代叫踏青）的好时候，所以古人有清明踏青，并开展一系列体育活动的的习俗。 直到今天，清明节祭拜祖先，悼念已逝的亲人的习俗仍很盛行。 清明祭扫坟茔是和丧葬礼俗有关的节俗。据载，古代“墓而不坟”，就是说只打墓坑，不筑坟丘，所以祭扫就不见于载籍。后来墓而且坟，祭扫之俗便有了依托。秦汉时代，墓祭已成为不可或缺的礼俗活动。 《汉书·严延年传》载,严氏即使离京千里也要在清明“还归东海扫墓地”。就中国人祖先崇拜和亲族意识的发达、强固来看，严延年的举动是合情合理的。因此后世把上古没有纳入规范的墓祭也归入五礼之中：“士庶之家，宜许上墓，编入五礼，永为常式。”得到官方的肯定，墓祭之风必然大盛。 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、敦亲睦族及行孝的具体表现，基于上述意义，清明节因此成为华人的重要节日。 清明节是在仲春与暮春之交，也就是冬至后的106天。扫墓活动通常是在清明节的前10天或后10天。有些籍贯人士的扫墓活动长达一个月。 来源 谈到清明节，有点历史知识的人，都会联想到历史人物介子推。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，跟随他的介子推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，做了国君（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，惟独介子推拒绝接受封赏，他带了母亲隐居绵山，不肯出来， 晋文公无计可施，只好放火烧山，他想，介子推孝顺母亲,一定会带着老母出来。谁知这场大火却把介子推母子烧死了。为了纪念介子推，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。 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，人们便将寒食与清明合而为一。现在，清明节取代了寒食节，拜介子推的习俗，也变成清明扫墓的习俗了。 纪念方式 清明节纪念祖先有多种形式： 扫墓是清明节最早的一种习俗，这种习俗延续到今天，已随着社会的进步而逐渐简化。扫墓当天，子孙们先将先人的坟墓及周围的杂草修整和清理，然后供上食品鲜花等。 由于火化遗体越来越普遍，其结果是，前往骨灰置放所拜祭先人的方式逐渐取代扫墓的习俗。 新加坡华人也在庙宇里为死者立神主牌，庙宇因此也成了清明祭祖的地方。 清明节当天有些人家也在家里拜祭祖先。 在清明节这一天，可到先人坟地、骨灰放置所或寺庙的灵位前静默鞠躬。 不论以何种形式纪念，清明节最基本的仪式是到坟前、骨灰放置处或灵位前追念祖先。为了使纪念祖先的仪式更有意义，我们应让年轻一代的家庭成员了解先人过去的奋斗历史。 每年4月5日或6日，太阳到达黄经15度时为清明节气。《月令七十二候集解》说：“三月节，……物至此时，皆以洁齐而清明矣。”故“清明”有冰雪消融，草木青青，天气清彻明朗，万物欣欣向荣之意。”“满阶杨柳绿丝烟，画出清明二月天”、“佳节清明桃李笑”、“雨足郊原草木柔”等名句，正是清明时节天地物候的生动描绘。 “清明前后，种瓜种豆”。清明时节，除东北与西北地区外，我国大部分地区的日平均气温已升到12℃以上，大江南北直至长城内外，到处是一片繁忙的春耕景象。”清明时节，麦长三节”，黄淮地区以南的小麦即将孕穗，油菜已经盛花，东北和西北地区小麦也进入拔节期，应抓紧搞好后期的肥水管理和病虫防治工作。北方旱作、江南早、中稻进入大批播种的适宜季节，要抓紧时机抢晴早播。“梨花风起正清明”，这时多种果树进入花期，要注意搞好人工辅助授粉，提高座果率。华南早稻栽插扫尾，耘田施肥应及时进行。各地的玉米、高梁、棉花也将要播种。“明前茶，两片芽”，茶树新芽抽长正旺，要注意防治病虫;名茶产区已陆续开采，应严格科学采制，确保产量和品质。这时北方冷空气仍有一定势力，天气冷暖多变，应注意防御低温和晚霜冻天气对小麦、水稻秧苗和开花果树以及其他春播作物造成危害。 “清明时节雨纷纷”指的是江南的气候特色，这时常常时阴时晴，充沛的水分一般可满足作物生长的需要，令人烦恼和不能忽视的，倒是雨水过多导致的湿渍和寡照的危害。而黄淮平原以北的广大地区，清明时节降水仍然很少，对开始旺盛生长的作物和春播来说，水分常常供不应求，此时的雨水显得十分宝贵，这些地区要在蓄水保墒的同时，适时搞好春灌，以防止春旱的威胁。 清明，不仅是一个极重要的农事季节，也是二十四节气中唯一俗演成民间节日的节气，又称作“清明节”。民间自古有着扫墓、插柳、踏青、放风筝等丰富的纪念和娱乐活动，更使清明充满了诱人的色彩

A Sunday between March 22 and April 25 The meaning of many different customs observed during Easter Sunday have been buried with time. Their origins lie in pre-Christian religions and Christianity. All in some way or another are a "salute to spring," marking re-birth. The white Easter lily has come to capture the glory of the holiday. The word "Easter" is named after Eastre, the Anglo-Saxon goddess of spring. A festival was held in her honor every year at the vernal equinox （春分）. People celebrate the holiday according to their beliefs and their religious denominations （命名）. Christians commemorate Good Friday as the day that Jesus Christ died and Easter Sunday as the day that He was resurrected （复活）. Protestant settlers brought the custom of a sunrise service, a religious gathering at dawn, to the United States. This year Easter will be celebrated on Sunday April 11, 2004. On Easter Sunday children wake up to find that the Easter Bunny has left them baskets of candy. He has also hidden the eggs that they decorated earlier that week. Children hunt for the eggs all around the house. Neighborhoods and organizations hold Easter egg hunts, and the child who finds the most eggs wins a prize. The Easter Bunny is a rabbit-spirit. Long ago, he was called the" Easter Hare." Hares and rabbits have frequent multiple births so they became a symbol of fertility. The custom of an Easter egg hunt began because children believed that hares laid eggs in the grass. The Romans believed that "All life comes from an egg." Christians consider eggs to be "the seed of life" and so they are symbolic of the resurrection of Jesus Christ. Why we dye, or color, and decorate eggs is not certain. In ancient Egypt, Greece, Rome and Persia eggs were dyed for spring festivals. In medieval Europe, beautifully decorated eggs were given as gifts. Egg Rolling In England, Germany and some other countries, children rolled eggs down hills on Easter morning, a game which has been connected to the rolling away of the rock from Jesus Christ's tomb when he was resurrected. British settlers brought this custom to the New World. In the United States in the early nineteenth century, Dolly Madison, the wife of the fourth American President, organized an egg roll in Washington, D.C. She had been told that Egyptian children used to roll eggs against the pyramids so she invited the children of Washington to roll hard-boiled eggs down the hilly lawn of the new Capitol building! The custom continued, except for the years during the Civil War. In 1880, the First Lady invited children to the White House for the Egg Roll because officials had complained that they were ruining the Capitol lawn. It has been held there ever since then, only canceled during times of war. The event has grown, and today Easter Monday is the only day of the year when tourists are allowed to wander over the White House lawn. The wife of the President sponsors it for the children of the entire country. The egg rolling event is open to children twelve years old and under. Adults are allowed only when accompanied by children! Traditionally, many celebrants （司仪神父） bought new clothes for Easter which they wore to church. After church services, everyone went for a walk around the town. This led to the American custom of Easter parades all over the country. Perhaps the most famous is along Fifth Avenue in New York City. Good Friday is a federal holiday in 16 states and many schools and businesses throughout the U.S. are closed on this Friday.

春节俗称“年节”，是中华民族最隆重的传 欢度春节统佳节。自汉武帝太初元年始，以夏年（农历）正月初一为“岁首”（即“年”），年节的日期由此固定下来，延续至今。年节古称“元旦”。1911年辛亥革命以后，开始采用公历（阳历）计年，遂称公历1月1日为“元旦”，称农历正月初一为“春节”。 岁时节日，亦被称为“传统节日”。它们历史悠久、流传面广，具有极大的普及性、群众性、甚至全民性的特点。年节是除旧布新的日子。年节虽定在农历正月初一，但年节的活动却并不止于正月初一这一天。从腊月二十三（或二十四日）小年节起，人们便开始“忙年”：扫房屋、洗头沐浴、准备年节器具等等。所有这些活动，有一个共同的主题，即“辞旧迎新”。人们以盛大的仪式和热情，迎接新年，迎接春天。年节也是祭祝祈年的日子。古人谓谷子一熟为一“年”，五谷丰收为“大有年”。西周初年，即已出现了一年一度的庆祝丰收的活动。后来，祭天祈年成了年俗的主要内容之一。而且，诸如灶神、门神、财神、喜神、井神等诸路神明，在年节期间，都备享人间香火。人们借此酬谢诸神过去的关照，并祈愿在新的一年中能得到更多的福佑。年节还是合家团圆、敦亲祀祖的日子。除夕，全家欢聚一堂，吃罢“团年饭”，长辈给孩子们分发“压岁钱”，一家人团坐“守岁”。元日子时交年时刻，鞭炮齐响，辞旧岁、迎新年的活动达于高潮。各家焚香致礼，敬天地、祭列祖，然后依次给尊长拜年，继而同族亲友互致祝贺。元日后，开始走亲访友，互送礼品，以庆新年。年节更是民众娱乐狂欢的节日。元日以后，各种丰富多彩的娱乐活动竞相开展：耍狮子、舞龙灯、扭秧歌、踩高跷、杂耍诸戏等，为新春佳节增添了浓郁的 欢度春节喜庆气氛。此时，正值“立春”前后，古时要举行盛大的迎春仪式，鞭牛迎春，祈愿风调雨顺、五谷丰收。各种社火活动到正月十五，再次形成高潮。因此，集祈年、庆贺、娱乐为一体的盛典年节就成了中华民族最隆重的佳节。而时至今日，除祀神祭祖等活动比以往有所淡化以外，年节的主要习俗，都完好地得以继承与发展。春节是中华民族文化的优秀传统的重要载体，它蕴含着中华民族文化的智慧和结晶，凝聚着华夏人民的生命追求和情感寄托，传承着中国人的家庭伦理和社会伦理观念。历经千百年的积淀，异彩纷呈的春节民俗，已形成底蕴深厚且独具特色的春节文化。近年来，随着物质生活水平的提高，人们对精神文化生活的需求迅速增长，对亲情、友情、和谐、美满的渴求更加强烈，春节等传统节日越来越受到社会各界的重视和关注。要大力弘扬春节所凝结的优秀传统文化，突出辞旧迎新、祝福团圆平安、兴旺发达的主题，努力营造家庭和睦、安定团结、欢乐祥和的喜庆氛围，推动中华文化历久弥新、不断发展壮大。翻译：The Spring Festival known as "festival", the Chinese nation is the most solemn preach to celebrate the Spring Festival holiday series.
