清明是我国二十四节气之一。因为二十四节气比较客观地反应了一年四季气温、降雨、物候等方面改变，所以古代劳感人民用它安排农事活动。不过，清明作为节日，与纯粹节气又有所不一样。节气是我国物候改变、时令次序标志，而节日则包含着一定风俗活动和某种纪念意义。所以，这个节日中现有祭扫新坟生别死离悲酸泪，又有踏青游玩欢笑声，是一个富有特色节日。4/26Itnormallyfallsonthe4thor5thofApril,betweenspringplowingandsummerweeding,andisatimetopayrespectstoone'sancestorsandtotidytheirgravesite.它通常会落在四月第四或第五，在春耕夏耘，和是一个时间拜祭祖先和整理他们墓地5/26QingMingispopularlyassociatedwithJieZiZhui,wholivedinShanxiprovincein600B.C.LegendhasitthatJiesavedhisstarvinglord'slifebyservingapieceofhisownleg.Whenthelordsucceededinbecomingtherulerofasmallprincipality,heinvitedhisfaithfulfollowertojoinhim.However,Jiedeclinedhisinvitation,preferringtoleadahermit'slifewithhismotherinthemountains.谈到清明节，有点历史知识人，都会联想到历史人物介子椎。据历史记载，在两千多年以前春秋时代，晋国公子重耳逃亡在外，生活艰辛，跟随他介子椎不惜从自己腿上割下一块肉让他充饥。以后，重耳回到晋国，作了国君（即晋文公，春秋五霸之一），大事封赏全部跟随他流亡在外随从，惟独介子椎拒绝接收封赏，他带了母亲隐居绵山。起源6/26BelievingthathecouldforceJieoutbyburningthemountain,thelordorderedhismentosettheforestonfire.Tohisconsternation,Jiechosetoremainwherehewasandwasburnttodeath.TocommemorateJie,thelordorderedallfiresineveryhometobeputoutontheanniversaryofJie‘sdeath.Thusbeganthe“coldfoodfeast”,adaywhennofoodcouldbecookedsincenofirecouldbelit.晋文公无计可施，只好放火烧山，他想，介子椎孝顺母亲，一定会带着老母出来。谁知这场大火却把介子椎母子烧死了。为了纪念介子椎，晋文公下令每年这一天，禁止生火，家家户户只能吃生冷食物，这就是寒食节起源
