Please sign a safety agreement with the parents of students who eat at the small table, so that the small table can supervise the children's dining safety and avoid safety accidents. In order to make children live a safe and meaningful Tomb-Sweeping Day, we hope that you will cooperate with the school to do the following work:

First of all, remember safety.

During the festival, families go out to participate in more activities, especially memorial services and grave-sweeping activities. I sincerely hope that parents and friends will strengthen holiday safety education for their children, prevent accidents, pay attention to forest fire prevention and travel safety, and do not take overloaded vehicles and unlicensed vehicles. In addition, spring is the time when epidemics occur frequently. I suggest you do a good job in the prevention of influenza, hand, foot and mouth disease and gastrointestinal diseases, care about children's health, pay attention to cold and warmth, pay attention to hygiene and food safety.

Second, practice sends sorrow.

1. Take children to worship their ancestors and mourn their deceased relatives. Advocate civilized and green sacrifices, and mourn by planting trees, offering flowers and offering flower baskets. Advocate parents to lead their children to the Taixi Armed Uprising Monument and Lu Fang Martyrs Cemetery to sweep graves, and send photos to the class group to educate their children to cherish the hard-won happy life and cultivate the virtue of gratitude.

2. Carry out the activity of "Qingming Online Sacrifice to Heroes and Heroes".

Development history

Qingming is the fifth of the 24 solar terms and the beginning of the calendar. The time point is around the first day of the third lunar month (April 4-6 in Gregorian calendar), and the sun reaches longitude 15. "When I Ask a Hundred Questions" says: "When everything grows, it is pure and bright, hence the name Qingming."

Tomb-Sweeping Day, also known as the Walking Festival, is at the turn of mid-spring and late spring, that is, the first 108 day from winter to the future. It is a traditional festival in China, and it is also one of the most important festivals to worship ancestors and sweep graves. The traditional Tomb-Sweeping Day of the Han nationality in China began in the Zhou Dynasty and has a history of more than 2,500 years. Influenced by the Han culture, 24 ethnic minorities in China, such as Manchu, Hezhe, Zhuang, Oroqen, Dong, Tujia, Miao, Yao, Li, Shui, Jing and Qiang, also have the customs of Tomb-Sweeping Day. Although customs vary from place to place, sweeping graves to worship ancestors and outing are the basic themes.

"Almanac": "On the fifteenth day after the vernal equinox, the bucket refers to Ding, which is used for Qingming, when everything is clean and bright, and when it is covered, everything is clean and bright, hence the name." As soon as Qingming comes, the temperature rises, which is a good time for spring ploughing and sowing, so there is a saying that "before and after Qingming, we plant melons and beans". It is said that the origin of Tomb-Sweeping Day began with the "grave-sweeping" ceremony of ancient emperors and generals. Later, people followed suit, and it became a fixed custom of the Chinese nation to worship ancestors and sweep graves on this day. On May 20th, 2006, it was approved by the State Council to be included in the first batch of national intangible cultural heritage list.

traditional custom

Tomb-Sweeping Day not only pays attention to the prohibition of fire to sweep graves, but also has a series of customs and sports activities, such as climbing, swinging, cuju, polo, swinging and inserting willows. According to legend, this is because it is forbidden to eat cold food during the Cold Food Festival. In order to prevent cold food and cold meals from harming people, everyone takes part in some sports activities and exercises. In Tomb-Sweeping Day, people avoid injections and washing clothes, and women in most areas avoid walking. Before evening, a gray line should be spread in front of the gate, which is said to prevent ghosts from entering the house.

Therefore, this festival is a unique festival, which has both sad and sour tears for sweeping graves and laughter for an outing.

Famous poems

Mourning day, drizzle like tears; Pedestrians on the road want to die. Excuse me, where is the restaurant? The shepherd boy pointed to Xinghua Village.

-Du Mu's Tomb-Sweeping Day

In late spring, Chang 'an city is full of songs and dances, and countless flowers fall. The east wind of the Cold Food Festival blows on the willow trees in the royal garden. As night fell, the palace was busy lighting candles, and smoke drifted to the house of the prince and the marquis.

-Han Yi's Cold Food

Peach and plum laugh at the festival, and Noda's wasteland is sad. Thunder stuns earthworms and snakes, and the original vegetation in the suburbs is soft after the rain.

-Huang Tingjian's Tomb-Sweeping Day

I have lived in Tomb-Sweeping Day without flowers and wine. Like a monk in a temple, everything is depressing and lonely for me. Yesterday, I discussed new kindling from my neighbor's house, and early in Tomb-Sweeping Day, I lit in front of the window and sat down to study.
