    清明

    清明时节雨纷纷,路上行人欲断魂。借问酒家何处有?牧童遥指杏花村。
    今天是清明。
        清明是我国的二十四节气之一。由于二十四节气比较客观地反映了一年四季气温、降雨、物候等方面的变化,所以古代劳动人民用它安排农事活动。《淮南子?天文训》云:“春分后十五日,斗指乙,则清明风至。”按《岁时百问》的说法:“万物生长此时,皆清洁而明净。故谓之清明。”清明一到,气温升高,雨量增多,正是春耕春种的大好时节。故有“清明前后,点瓜种豆”、“植树造林,莫过清明”的农谚。可见这个节气与农业生产有着密切的关系。
    早上璟姐给我们讲了清明节的由来。
    原来有这样一个传说……
      在两千多年以前的春秋时代,晋国公子重耳逃亡在外,生活艰苦,跟随他的介子推不惜从自己的腿上割下一块肉让他充饥。后来,重耳回到晋国,做了国君(即晋文公,春秋五霸之一〕,大事封赏所有跟随他流亡在外的随从,惟独介子推拒绝接受封赏,他带了母亲隐居绵山,不肯出来,晋文公无计可施,只好放火烧山,他想,介子推孝顺母亲,一定会带着老母出来。谁知这场大火却把介子推母子烧死了。为了纪念介子推,晋文公下令每年的这一天,禁止生火,家家户户只能吃生冷的食物,这就是寒食节的来源。寒食节是在清明节的前一天,古人常把寒食节的活动延续到清明,久而久之,人们便将寒食与清明合而为一。现在,清明节取代了寒食节,拜介子推的习俗,也变成清明扫墓的习俗了。
      清明节,又叫踏青节,按阳历来说,它是在每年的4月4日至6日之间,正是春光明媚草木吐绿的时节,也正是人们春游(古代叫踏青)的好时候,所以古人有清明踏青,并开展一系列体育活动的的习俗。
      直到今天,清明节祭拜祖先,悼念已逝的亲人的习俗仍很盛行。
