  清明节的传统
ancestor worship is a chinese tradition dating back thousands of years. 中国祭祀
祖先的传统已有数千年之久。
also known as the grave-sweeping or spring remembrance, ching ming (clear and bright), is when chinese families show their respect by visiting the graves of their ancestors to clear away weeds, touch up gravestone inscriptions and make offerings of wine and fruit.

  清明节的翻译
“清明”依音译为“ching ming, 但“节”
则依意译为festival,合起来便是ching ming festival, 是音译和意译的混合物。
此外,我们再学习几个中国传统节日的英译:  “春节”在英文上叫做chinese new years day, 是意译,字面的意思就是“中国人的新年”;或spring festival,即“春天的节日”;或chinese lunar new year,即“中国农历新年”
“端午节”的译法和“清明节”一样,“端午”译为duan wu, 节是festival。不过,许多人也喜欢称之为dragon boat festival,意为“龙舟节”。
“中秋节”逐字意译为mid-autumn festival,有时则在前边加上chinese。亦有人称之为
moon festival的。
“重阳节”也和“清明节”、“端午节”一般译法,称为chung yeung festival。由于我们有时也把“重阳”称为“重九”,所以有些英国人也把我们的这一个节日叫做“double-ninth day,”不过
还是前者较多用。

the qingming festival sees a combination of sadness and happiness.
this is the most important day of sacrifice. both the han and minority ethnic groups at this time offer sacrifices to their ancestors and sweep the tombs of the diseased. also, they will not cook on this day and only cold food is served. the hanshi (cold food) festival was usually one day before the qingming festival. as our ancestors often extended the day to the qingming, they were later combined. on each qingming festival, all cemeteries are crowded with people who came to sweep tombs and offer sacrifices. traffic on the way to the cemeteries becomes extremely jammed. the customs have been greatly simplified today. after slightly sweeping the tombs, peopl
e offer food, flowers and favorites of the dead, then burn incense and paper money and bow before the memorial tablet.
in contrast to the sadness of the tomb sweepers, people also enjoy hope of spring on this day. the qingming festival is a time when the sun shines brightly, the trees and grass become green and nature is again lively. since ancient times, people have followed the custom of spring outings. at this time tourists are everywhere.
people love to fly kites during the qingming festival. kite flying is actually not limited to the qingming festival. its uniqueness lies in that people fly kites not during the day, but also at night. a string of little lanterns tied onto the kite or the thread look like shining stars, and therefore, are called gods lanterns.
the qingming festival is also a time to plant trees, for the survival rate of saplings is high and trees grow fast later. in the past, the qingming festival was called arbor day. but since 1979, arbor day was settled as march 12 according to the gregorian calendar.
