Tomb-sweeping Day 清明节

April 5th is the Tomb-sweeping Day in China this year, which is one of the most important traditional festivals. The young people will come back home and sweep tomb with their parents. The meaning of Tomb-sweeping Day is to honor the ancestors and it has more than 2500 years’ history. Chinese people pay special attention to remember their ancestors. So no matter how far they are, they always know where they are from. When they are old, they will return to the place where they are from. It is a good tradition. The sense of belonging makes people feel safe. What’s more, the communication among relatives makes the whole families become stronger. Because people are united by the same ancestors, so they treat each other as families and give support all the time. What a great tradition it is.
今年4月5日是中国的清明节，也是最重要的传统节日之一。年轻人都会回家，与父母去扫墓。清明节的意义是纪念祖先，有着超过2500年的历史了。中国人特别注重铭记祖先，所以不管走得有多远，他们总是知道自己从哪里来。当他们老了，就会回到自己的归属地。这是一个很好的传统。归属感让人感到安全。更重要的是，亲戚之间的交流使整个家族变得更强大。人们因为同一个祖先而团结在一起，他们将彼此视为家人，给予支持。这是多么好的传统啊。
