7. 清明扫墓在我国由来已久。《孟子齐人篇》中载：卒之东郭墦间，之祭者乞其余;不足，又顾而之他此其为餍足之道。一个可笑的齐国人偷食祭品，却向妻妾谎称每天都有达官贵人请他吃饭。可见早在春秋战国时期，就有了祭祀的习俗，只是那时还没有具体的日子。到了唐朝开元二十年，唐玄宗诏告天下，将寒食节定为祭拜扫墓的日子，并规定这一天禁火，冷食。后来由于清明与寒食接近，二者融为一体。柳宗元有诗云：田野道路，士女遍满，皂隶佣丐，皆得父母丘墓。每逢清明，人们总要提着酒食、水果、糕点、纸钱香烛和火炮等物品来到亲人墓前，为逝者放一挂鞭炮，烧一沓纸钱，敬一杯好酒，添上几抔新土，插上几根柳枝，说上一番心里话，以此表达对故人的哀悼和思念。

7. Tomb-sweeping during the Qingming Festival has a long history in our country. As recorded in the "Qimen Chapter" of the Mencius: Upon reaching the eastern part of the city's tombs, those who come to pay their respects beg for leftovers; if there is not enough, they turn around and go to other places, which is their way of being satisfied. A comical Qi person stole the sacrificial offerings but lied to his concubines that he was invited to dine by officials and nobles every day. This shows that as early as the Spring and Autumn and Warring States periods, there was already a custom of sacrifice, but there was no specific date for it at that time. By the 20th year of the Kaiyuan period of the Tang Dynasty, Emperor Xuanzong issued an edict to the whole country, designating the Cold Food Festival as the day for tomb-sweeping, and stipulating that fire should be prohibited and cold food should be eaten on that day. Later, due to the proximity of Qingming and Cold Food Festival, the two festivals merged into one. Liu Zongyuan wrote a poem: "On the fields and roads, scholars and women are everywhere, the servants and beggars, all have their parents' tombs. On every Qingming Festival, people always bring wine, fruits, pastries, paper money, incense candles, and firecrackers to the graves of their relatives, to set off a string of firecrackers for the deceased, burn a stack of paper money, offer a cup of good wine, add a few shovels of fresh earth, insert a few willow branches, and express their heartfelt words, thereby expressing their sorrow and longing for the departed."

14. The customs of Qingming Festival are rich and interesting. In addition to the practice of forbidding fire and sweeping graves, there are also a series of folk sports activities such as going for a spring outing, swinging on a swing, playing cuju (a traditional Chinese ball game), playing polo, and planting willow branches. It is said that this is because Qingming Festival requires the observance of the Cold Food Ban and forbidding fire.

Therefore, this festival is filled with both the poignant tears of mourning and the laughter of spring outings, making it a distinctive and special occasion.
