1、用英文介绍清明节中华文化英语清明节清明”是中国传统二十四节气(the24traditiona1Chineseso1arterms)中的第五个节气，也是诸多节气中唯个与传统节日“清明节”(TombSWeePmgDay)重合的节气。Qingmingisnoton1yoneofChina,s24so1arterms,buta1soanoccasionforChinesepeop1etohonor1ostfami1ymembers.清明节不仅是中国的二十四节气之一，也是中国人缅怀逝去亲人的日子。作为节日的清明节：一般翻译为TombSweepingfestiva1或者Tomb-sweepingDay,扫

2、墓节或扫墓日。这个翻译着重强调了清明节的重要习俗“扫墓”。另外再谈到作为节气的清明：它被译为“CIeararIdBright”，清洁和明亮。我们也不难发现，这种译法强调的是清明时节的气候状况，和其他节气的翻译出发点一致。形式清明节QingmingFestiva1:Tombsweepinggoesdigita1清明节:扫墓走向数字化Asthisyear,sTomb-sweepingDay,a1soknownasQingmingFestiva1,coincideswithacritica1stageofChinasfightagainstthenove1coronavirusdisease(COV

10、s,andthestoryofJieZiZhuiwhochoosedeathovercapitu1ation.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，清明取代了寒食节。拜介子推的习俗也变成了清明扫墓的习俗了。无论以何种形式纪念，为了使纪念祖先的仪式更有意义，我们应该让年轻一代的家庭成员了解先人过去的奋斗历史，当然，还要学习介子推宁死不屈的气节。清明的具体日期在仲春和暮春之交，大约农历4月4、5、6日之间。此时，天气转暖，大地回春，万物复苏，一片生机盎然，家家门口插柳条，祭扫坟墓和郊外踏青。农谚中也有清明忙种粟”的说法。我们人耳熟能详的一首关于清明的诗就是：清明杜牧清
