China's four big traditional holiday of tomb-sweeping day

"Ching Ming festival is one of the most important traditional festival in China.It is not only people's worshiping ancestors, honor ancestors of the festival, is also the Chinese nation RenZuGuiZong ties, but also a hiking outing, close to nature, to rush to the new spring ceremony."Said Dr Folklore ShiAiDong at the Chinese academy of social sciences.

As an important festival of sacrifice, tomb sweeping day for an outing, such as custom mainly comes from the cold and the shangsi festival.The cold is associated with the ancients cognition of the nature.In China, well after the rebirth of new fire is a kind of new transition ceremony, disclosed information is seasonal, symbol of the new season, new hopes, new life, the beginning of a new cycle.Then have a "Thanksgiving" means, more emphasis on the "past" nostalgia and thanks.

Two fire ban cold food offerings tomb, qing Ming ta-qing get take new fire.Before the tang dynasty, before and after the cold food and clarity is two successive but different theme festivals, the former nostalgic lament, which new nursing students;A Yin and Yang, a life interest, in close cooperation with the two relations.The fire is to a fire, the wu was born in order to save, this is well associated with clear and internal culture.Tang dynasty, the imperial court to order the customs of the form of folk grave fixed in front of the tomb sweeping day cold, because cold food and clarity in time are closely linked, cold food customs associated with the tomb-sweeping day, early grave from cold food postpone to the qingming festival.

In song dynasty, after the tomb-sweeping day and cold food gradually becomes one of the tomb-sweeping day will sacrifice custom, under the name of cold food.At the same time, the shangsi festival "shangsi spring having" festival customs are merged to the tomb-sweeping day.When he got to the Ming and qing dynasties, shangsi festival out of the holiday system, cold have largely vanished.The spring only one tomb-sweeping day.

"Ching Ming festival is the synthesis and sublimation of almost every Spring Festival, ching Ming festival customs also has the more rich cultural connotation."ShiAiDong said.Unlike other traditional large sections, ching Ming festival is a blend of "the solar terms" and "section of the common" comprehensive festival.The tomb-sweeping day is from the throttle line after the vernal equinox, the weather warms up, the full of vitality everywhere, people hiking outing, close to nature, it may be said to days, help to absorb the nature pure Yang qi, dispel cold and depressed mood, leisurely are beneficial to the health of body and mind.

Began in the tang dynasty, two juxtaposed with the tomb-sweeping day holiday, the different title respectively have four to seven days holiday.The song dynasty is the age of life growing urbanization, is an age of folk custom to develop in the direction of entertainment.In order to allow people to tomb-sweeping day, for an outing, specially stipulated business off for three days, wushu off for a day.The qingming festival on the painting "describe age is the clear picture.

Tomb-sweeping day and for an outing, it is two different cultural theme, slowly, after the song dynasty and was constantly have certain cultural meaning.People to worship their ancestors and the Chinese nation attaches great importance to the national character of the filial piety, ShenZhongZhuiYuan directly link, think gratitude, not forggestting qingming festival customs reflects the Chinese people's moral consciousness.Its cultural significance similar to the westThanksgiving Day.Tomb-sweeping day ancestor worship, mourning remember ancestors merits of activity, with the Chinese culture deep ancestor worship, has the profound relationship between the culture of filial piety, and the culture is the Chinese society for thousands of years to the backbone of the harmonious and stable development, help to set up between the ancient and present, our predecessors and the posterity harmonious intergenerational relations, and promote human, the harmonious relationship between human and nature, and this also is tomb-sweeping day the strong vitality of private foundations.

ShiAiDong introduced, along with the development of productivity and the evolution of social life, tomb-sweeping day earlier appeared by divine sacrifice to secular entertainment trend, the tomb-sweeping day the grave became the holiday time for an outing spring outing.Seasonal JiaMu for willow spring, work is clear with Dai Liu reveals the peculiar fashion.During the period of the republic of China, inserted LiuRi also once become "Arbor Day".But no matter how to development, memorial and worship is a Chinese qingming festival is the most important content.

"No matter from origin or from the rheological, we can induce the information of the qingming festival two symbolic meanings, one is grateful to commemorate, 2 it is' rush to protect the new '."
