　　Qing Ming is a time to remember the dead and the dearly departed. More important, it is a period to honour and to pay respect to one's deceased ancestors and family members. Because it reinforces the ethic of filial piety, Qing Ming is a major Chinese festival.

　　Literally meaning "clear" (Qing) and "bright" (Ming), this Chinese festival falls in early spring, on the 106th day after the winter solstice. It is a "spring" festival, and it is an occasion for the whole family to leave the home and to sweep the graves of their forebears. Chinese being practical people this sweeping of the graves is given an extended period, that is, 10 days before and after Qing Ming day. Among some dialect groups a whole month is allocated.

　　清明節(jié)是一個紀念祖先的節(jié)日。主要的紀念儀式是掃墓，掃墓是慎終追遠、郭親睦鄰及行孝的具體表現(xiàn);基于上述意義，清明節(jié)因此成為華人的重要節(jié)日。 清明節(jié)是在仲春和暮春之交，也就是冬至后的.106天。掃墓活動通常是在清明節(jié)的前十天或后十天。有些地域的人士的掃墓活動長達一個月。

　　清明節(jié)英文簡介

　　Qingming, meaning clear and bright, is one of the 24 solar terms in China.

　　The 24 solar terms represent the weather changes in a year. Peasants plan

　　their farming work according to this schedule. Qingming usually occurs in

　　early

　　April of each year.This year, the Qingming Festival falls on April 5, according

　　to the solar calendar.To Chinese people, the Qingming Festival is an

　　opportunity to remembered honor their ancestors at grave sites.

　　In thetraditional way, young and oldpray before the ancestors, sweep the

　　tombs and present food, tea, wine, joss paper and other offerings. Usually,

　　the cemeteries are located at the outskirts of the city or town and the whole

　　family will travel to the site and burn paper offerings there.

　　People believe their ancestors will see the smoke from the burning paper

　　from heaven then they'll hear their prayers.

　　Tradition is one thing, but on the other hand, the smoke does pollute the air;

　　people pouring out to the cemeteries causes traffic jams; and the paper burning can cause fires.

　　Therefore, in recent years, the idea of greening tomb sweeping day has

　　emerged.

　　One of the most popular ideas is online cemeteries. Many big cemeteries

　　have opened a virtual version online. Visitors log onto the Web site and follow the 3D map to find the tombs of their late relatives. Then they can clean the tomb, put flowers in front of it or even burn joss paper and light firecrackers all by a

　　click of different buttons. They can also write a biography or some articles on

　　the Internet to express their memories of family members who've passed

　　away.

　　Ms. Qian is from Wuhan, capital of Hubei Province in Central China. Because of a busy work schedule, she has given up going to the cemetery with her

　　family but has chosen to remember her late elders on the Internet.

　　"I don't have the time to really go to the tomb site. But still, I need to express

　　my feelings. So the online cemetery is a convenient way for me. And on the

　　other hand, the government also encourages us to practice a green tomb

　　sweeping way."

　　Many young people like Ms. Qian have accepted this avant-garde idea. They think it is a good way to avoid the crowds, and believe true feelings of love

　　and respect toward late family members are more important than how you

　　commemorate them. However, the elder generation still thinks that going to

　　the site in person and cleaning the tomb by hand is the best way to show your

　　respect and love to the ancestors. In this case, other green tomb sweeping traditions are easier to accept.

　　This year, many cemeteries have set up stands at the gate. They've prepared

　　free flowers for visitors to exchange for the joss paper and firecrackers

　　they've brought.

　　"We prepared joss paper before we came. But when I saw these beautiful flowers, I decided to change the paper for flowers. Flowers may be a better way to express our grief and how much we miss them. And on the other hand, society calls for greener ways of tomb sweeping, to decrease pollution."

　　"Lighting firecrackers and burning joss paper damages the environment and

　　can also cause fires easily. Flowers are much better."

　　Besides flowers, planting a tree instead of building a tomb is another offering

　　that is being accepted by a growing number of people. It saves land and at

　　the same time improves the environment.
