ORIGIN （起源）
Qing Ming is popularly associated with Jie Zi Zhui, who lived in Shanxi province in 600 B.C. Legend has it that Jie saved his starving lord's life by serving a piece of his own leg. When the lord succeeded in becoming the ruler of a small principality, he invited his faithful follower to join him. However, Jie declined his invitation, preferring to lead a hermit's life with his mother in the mountains.
Believing that he could force Jie out by burning the mountain, the lord ordered his men to set the forest on fire. To his consternation, Jie chose to remain where he was and was burnt to death. To commemorate Jie, the lord ordered all fires in every home to be put out on the anniversary of Jie's death. Thus began the cold food feast, a day when no food could be cooked since no fire could be lit.
The cold food festival occurs on the eve of Qing Ming and is often considered as part of the Qing Ming festival. As time passes, the Qing Ming festival replaced the cold food festival. Whatever practice is observed
，the basic observation of Qing Ming is to
remember one's elders by making a special effort to visit their graves, ashes or ancestral tablets. To make the visit even more meaningful, some time should be spent to remind the younger members of the family of the lives and contributions of their ancestors, and the story of Jie Zi Zhui who choose death over capitulation.
谈到清明节，有点历史知识的人，都会联想到历史人物介子椎。 据历史记载， 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， 跟随他的介子椎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，作了国君（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，惟独介子椎拒绝接受封赏，他带了母亲隐居绵山。 晋文公无计可施，只好放火烧山，他想，介子椎孝顺母亲，一定会带着老母出来。谁知这场大火 却把介子椎母子烧死了。为了纪念介子椎， 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， 清明取代了寒食节。 拜介子椎的习
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， 屈的气节。
当然， 还要学习介子椎宁死不

清明时节祭扫祖坟（俗称上坟） 。无锡的传统民俗较有代表性。扫墓时要挑些新士壅坟茔，而且 凡新坟一定要在清明前祭扫， 旧坟可以过清明． 但不能过立夏。 新媳妇一定要去祭扫祖时至今 。 扫墓时用荤、素菜肴和酒、饭等祭奠。后用干果糕点等替代。上花坟坟，俗称．

2） 踏青
清明时节，气候温暖和煦，大地皆春，处处鲜花嫩草，一片生机盎然，人们纷纷外出踏青。在无 锡，踏青的最好场所莫过于惠山。 不上惠山的， 上城墙绕城而走， 叫登高踏青。 东门东林庵一带， 为士女聚集处，故有东林庵里看桃花的说法。 这天， 也是东乡胶山和北乡斗山的节场， 附近还有 赛会， 故斗山别名清明山。 人们都上山踏青， 赶节场， 观看赛会。 从元宵节至清明节， 大人孩子， 三五成群，到野外放凤筝，别有情趣。
3 ） 门旁插柳和戴柳枝帽 清明节那天，有家家门口插柳条的风俗。在一些地区，还流行小孩带柳枝帽的风俗。 门旁
插柳和戴柳枝帽习俗的来源也是根据介子椎的传说。
据说， 介子椎是死在柳树下面的。 介子
椎死后的第二年晋文公率领群臣到绵山致祭， 一行人先在山下寒食一日， 第二天才上山。 那棵柳 树，已经长出了翠绿的嫩条。晋文公看了，心中忽有所感，便走上前去，掐了一丝，编成一个圈 儿带在头上。随从的臣下看了 ,也纷纷仿效他折柳插头。晋文公便把这棵柳树赐名 定天一这把，柳明清为 气节与明清、 3
