清明节那天

今天是清明节，我要去祭拜我的爷爷奶奶，可是，他们在很远的地方被安葬了，所以去不了，为了表示敬意，我把他们的照片拿出来看一看，尽尽孝心。

我还在网上给去世的烈士们献了花圈，敬了礼。因为只有他们的牺牲，才有了祖国今天的辉煌！

清明节起源ORIGIN

　　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 lords 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 hermits 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 jies 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 ones 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，当然，还要学习介子椎宁死不屈的气节。

清明节前的讲话

　　老师们同学们:

　　大家早上好!

　　你们听，布谷鸟似乎正在一声声地催促我们好好学习,莫要辜负了大好春光。是啊，这个生命拔节的季节里，小笋芽正在生长它的志向，柳树正在编织他的理想,各色各样的花儿则在绽放他们的梦想。你们呢?孩子们,你们在忙碌些什么?是像小蜜蜂一样在知识的海洋里穿梭,吸取文化精粹，还是像小蝴蝶一样飞舞在时间长河里，只顾着玩耍了?

　　哦，让我们一起随着清明节即将到来的哀思，看看前人给我们做出的人生榜样吧！那些沉睡在烈士墓里的英雄们，曾为了让我们这些后人享受和平安乐的学习环境，不惜抛头颅，洒热血，他们用自己短暂的青春谱写了中华民族历史上可歌可泣的光辉篇章。他们当时唯一的愿望就是希望我们这些后人能在宁静祥和的环境里争分夺秒的学习，用文化知识振兴中国，让我们中华民族永远矗立在世界列强中。来吧！孩子们，仰望我们头顶飘扬的五星红旗，看看我们胸前飘舞的红领巾,你感受到革命先辈们那一腔热血中涌动的博大和无私吗？你领会到今天的幸福生活是源于革命先辈的奉献和牺牲了吗？请让我们每天每天，都在心灵的最深处祭奠这些英灵；每天每天都在心灵的最深外，给他们敬个庄重的礼。也让我们每天每天，都在心灵的最深处，回忆革命先烈们的艰辛与努力！

　　孩子们，让我们在这个朝气蓬勃的季节里，感恩那些为我们牺牲了一切的人；让我们在这个生机盎然的季节里，争分夺秒地学习上进，以报答那些伟大崇高的灵魂吧！

　　我的讲话到此结束，谢谢大家！
