Answer 1

Boys and Girls,

Today I feel great honor to be invited to introduce a Chinese holiday to you. Since you happened to come to China during the Qing Ming festival, I’d like to tell you something about this traditional holiday.

“Qing Ming” which means clear and bright in Chinese, falls on April 5^th every year. It is both the fifth term in the traditional lunar calendar and a festival to hold memorial ceremony for the dead. It is a time to express one's grief for his lost relatives.

People often go to sweep and weed graves with whole family and take a walk in the countryside as well. In Tang Dynasty, the habit of taking a walk on this day was developed. At this time, spring returns and dominates the earth again. The feel of growing life is in the air. Trees turn green and buds burst, adding vigor and vitality to the surroundings. This custom can be traced back to over one thousand years ago.

In that morning people eat “qing tuan” (a kind of rice ball colored green.) which is very delicious. That’s the general introduction of Qing Ming Festival. If you have any questions, you are free to ask..  Thank you very much.
