清明节,清明节是几月几日,Tomb-Sweeping Festival

The Qingming or Ching Ming festival, also known as Tomb-Sweeping Festival in English (sometimes also called Chinese Memorial Day or Ancestors' Day),is a traditional Chinese festival. It falls 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. During Qingming, Chinese families visit the tombs of their ancestors to clean the gravesites, pray to their ancestors, and make ritual offerings. Offerings would typically include traditional food dishes, and the burning of joss sticks and joss paper.

清明节又叫踏青节,在仲春与暮春之交。是中国传统节日,也是最重要的祭祀节日之一,是祭祖和扫墓的日子。中华民族传统的清明节大约始于周代,距今已有二千五百多年的历史。 清明最早只是一种节气的名称,其变成纪念祖先的节日与寒食节有关。晋文公把寒食节的后一天定为清明节。在山西大部分地区是在清明节前一天过寒食节;榆社县等地是在清明节前两天过寒食节;垣曲县还讲究清明节前一天为寒食节,前二天为小寒食。 清明节是中国重要的“时年八节”之一,一般是在公历4月5号前后,节期很长,有10日前8日后及10日前10日后两种说法,这近20天内均属清明节。清明节原是指春分后十五天,1935年中华民国政府明定4月5日为国定假日清明节,也叫做民族扫墓节。2008年,清明节正式成为法定节假日,放假一天。2009年,又改为三天。
