The Meaning of Tomb-sweeping Day 清明节的意义

China has a long history of more than 5,000 years, so the variety of culture has been preserved. These meaningful cultures are treated as our national treasure. In order to remember them, the government has named the official holiday. Tomb-sweeping Day is one of the meaningful festivals. People have days’ off every year and the families will get together, sweeping their ancestors’ tombs. People believe that they do this can bring good luck, because their ancestors will bless them. Some people question the meaning of this festival, because they think people are superstitious. As for me, I think this day teaches people to in honor of their ancestors and respect the culture. It is not something about superstition, but about showing respect to the culture. We need to pass on our culture from generations, or we will lose our national treasure.

中国有5000多年的悠久历史，所以各种各样的文化也一直得以保存下来。这些有意义的文化被我们视为国家宝藏。为了记住它们，政府规定了法定假日。清明节就是这样一个有意义的节日。人们每年这个时候都会放假，家人们会聚在一起，给他们的祖先扫墓。人们相信他们这样做可以带来好运，因为他们的祖先会保佑他们。但是有些人却质疑这个节日的意义，他们认为那些人是迷信的。我认为这个节日教会人们纪念他们的祖先，尊重文化。这不是迷信，而是尊重文化。我们需要一代又一代的去传承我们的文化，不然会失去我们的国家宝藏。
