【今日#清明# 】气清景明、草木萌动、百花盛开、万物皆显。清明是反映自然界物候变化的节气，这个时节阳光明媚、草木萌动、百花盛开，自然界呈现一派生机勃勃的景象。清明节气，与岁时物候相关，常以指导农事，有天朗气清、春耕时宜之意；故《淮南子》云：“春分后十五日，斗指乙，则清明风至。”另《岁时百问》是这样解释的：“万物生长此时，皆清洁而明净。故谓之清明。”清明节气因为节令期间“气清景明、万物皆显”而得名。清明兼具自然与人文两大内涵，既是自然节气，也是传统节日。清明节的节俗丰富，扫墓祭祖与踏青郊游是清明节的两大礼俗主题。Qingming, the fifth of the 24 solar terms on the Chinese lunar calendar, literally translates to pure and clear, symbolizing spring's freshness and the vivid scenery in nature. During this time, the sun shines brightly, plants sprout and flowers bloom. As temperatures rise, Qingming also signals the time for spring plowing and sowing.

Qingming Festival, also called Tomb-sweeping Day, has an additional important meaning as Chinese people honor their deceased family members and worship ancestors. Participating in activities in nature is also a tradition.
