清明节英语100词

Ching Ming Festival is one of the 24 segments in Chinese calendar. It normally falls on the 4th or 5th of April because it's depended on the Cold Food Day （105 days after previous year's winter solstice）. In the old days, Ching Ming was celebrated 3 days after the Cold Food Day but Cold Food Day was shorted to one day and then abandoned. So nowadays, Ching Ming and Cold Food Day fall on the same day although no one celebrate Cold Food Day any more. Ching Ming is also known as "Remembrance of Ancestors Day" or 'Grave Sweeping Day'. On Ching Ming, the whole family will visit their ancestors or relatives' graves. I remember when I was little, we had to catch a diesel train to north New Territories to do grave sweeping. As a kid, I always find it scary when the train go through the dark tunnel of the hill. But there is no more diesel trains running in HK now. If you want to see one, you can find it in the Railway museum in Tai Po Market. We have to carry incense sticks, joss sticks and paper offerings like paper money and paper clothes and any other paper accessories, depends how serious your family is with this thing. All paper offerings will be burnt for they believe that the relatives can receive the goods and even 'money' this way. As a kid, I am always asked to carry a bunch of flower. Chrysanthemum is normally chosen so don't give Chrysanthemum to Chinese people as gift coz it's a funeral/grave sweeping use flowers, although some households may find it to display home on normal days. Food like roasted suckling pig, steamed chicken, fruit and wine are offered during the ceremony. Then we will eat it up after the worshipping. There were children in scruffy looking t-shirts offering you a red piece of paper and a stone to put on top of the grave stone. My family never explains to me what it's for but I suppose red always implies luck so maybe it helps to bring good luck to the dead person? In return, you are supposed to give a few dollars to the children to buy this red paper. There were also poor teenagers or adults carrying sickles and offer weeding services around the grave stones. As our family visits the graves twice a year （Ching Ming and Chung Yeung）, we can manage with a pair of scissors! Some superstitious people even carry willow branches with them or hang it on the front door. It's believed that willows help to get rid of evil spirits, when Ching Ming is one of the days that ghosts and spirits wander about.

中国清明节的英文介绍：

The Qingming or Ching Ming Festival, also known as Tomb-Sweeping Day in English, is a traditional Chinese festival on the first day of the fifth solar term of the traditional Chinese lunisolar calendar. This makes it the 15th day after the Spring Equinox, either 4 or 5 April in a given year.

Qingming has been regularly observed as a statutory public holiday in China. It became a public holiday in China in 2008.

The holiday is associated with the consumption of qingtuan, green dumplings made of glutinous rice and barley grass.

The festival originated from the Cold Food Festival ("Hanshi Festival"), established by Chong'er, Duke Wen of Jin, during the Spring and Autumn period. The festival was a memorial for his retainer Jie Zitui,who had loyally followed him during his years of exile. Supposedly, he once even cut meat from his own thigh to provide Chong'er with soup. Once Chong'er was enthroned as duke, however, Jie considered his services no longer required and resigned. Although Duke Wen was generousin rewarding those who had helped him in his time of need, he long passed over Jie, who had moved into the forest with his mother. Duke Wenwent to the forest in 636 BCbut could not find them. He then ordered his men to set fire to the forest in order to force Jie out. When Jie and his mother were killed instead, the duke was overcome with remorse and ordered three days without fire to honor Jie's memory. The city erected over the former forest is still called Jiexiu (lit. "Jie's rest").

Qingming was frequently mentioned in Chinese literature. Among these, the most famous one is probably Du Mu's poem (simply titled "Qingming"):

清明时节雨纷纷

A drizzling rain falls on the Mourning Day;

路上行人欲断魂

The mourner's heart is breaking on his way.

借问酒家何处有

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”。除此之外，清明节还可以说成“Qingming Festival”。

参考例句：

1、It's Tomb-sweeping Day tomorrow, and it's time to go to pay respect to the dead.

2、On each Tomb-sweeping Day, all cemeteries are crowded with people who came to sweep tombs and offer sacrifices.
