每年4月4日到6日左右的清明节是传统的扫墓的日子。在这一天，人们祭悼去世的亲人，到先人的坟头上扫墓。唐朝著名诗人杜牧有一首著名的诗，描述了四月初令人伤感的一幕场景：“清明时节雨纷纷，路上行人欲断魂。”与清明节扫墓的悲哀相反，人们在这个日子怀揣着春的希望。清明时节，阳光明媚，树木和小草吐绿，大自然生机盎然。从古代起，人们就去春游。清明时节，游客遍地。如今，清明节是中国大陆的法定假日。
译文：
The Qingming Festival, the traditional tomb-sweeping day, falls on April
4-6 each year. It is a time for remembering loved ones who departed. People
visit their ancestors’ graves to sweep away the dirt. A well-known poem by the
Tang Dynasty Du Mu tells of a sad scene in early April: “Rains fall heavily as
Qingming comes, and passers-by with lowered spirits go.” In contrast to the
sadness of the tomb-sweeping, 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 outing. At this time tourists are everywhere.
Today, the Qingming Festival is a statutory public holiday in mainland
China.
