A: Students, do you know what holiday is April 4th this year?
B: Yes, that day is our annual Qingming Festival. Qingming Festival is a traditional festival for Chinese people to commemorate their ancestors. Speaking of the origin of Qingming Festival, we will think of a person-Jie Zitui. Next, let us listen to the story of Jie Zitui.
2. The story of Jie Zitui (with PPT)
When talking about Qingming Festival, people will think of the historical figure Jie Zitui. According to historical records, in the Spring and Autumn Period more than 2,000 years ago, Jie Zitui fled with Chong'er, the prince of Jin State, and lived a hard life. Later, Chong'er returned to Jin State and became the king. He rewarded all the followers who followed him in exile, except Jie Zitui refused to accept the reward. He took his mother to live in seclusion in Mianshan and refused to come out.
Jin Wengong had no choice but to set fire to the mountain. He thought that if Jie Zitui was filial to his mother, he would definitely bring his old mother out. Unexpectedly, the fire burned Jie Zitui, mother and son to death. In order to commemorate Jie Zitui, Duke Wen of Jin ordered that on this day every year, it is forbidden to light fires, and every household can only eat raw and cold food. This is the origin of the Cold Food Festival.
The Cold Food Festival is the day before the Qingming Festival. The ancients often extended the activities of the Cold Food Festival to the Qingming Festival. Over time, people combined the Cold Food Festival and the Qingming Festival into one. Now, the Qingming Festival has replaced the Cold Food Festival, and the custom of worshiping Jie Zitui has also become the custom of sweeping tombs during the Qingming Festival.
A: It turns out that the origin of Qingming Festival is this. I also want to test you. Do you know the customs of Qingming Festival?
B: I know, I know, many people will go out to visit graves during Qingming Festival.
A: Apart from tomb-sweeping, what other customs are there during the Qingming Festival?
B: I don’t know about the others. But I know that the students in our class have done some research on the customs of Qingming Festival. Let them introduce it to us.
3. Introduction to the customs of the Qingming Festival (with PPT)
(1) On the Qingming Festival, the most important activity is to worship ancestors and sweep their graves. This custom has been around for a long time. According to historical records, during the Qin and Han Dynasties, tomb sacrifices had become an indispensable ritual activity. The ancients have poems describing tomb-sweeping during the Qingming Festival, such as Du Mu's famous line from the Tang Dynasty: "It rains heavily during the Qingming Festival, and pedestrians on the road want to die." These poems truly reflect the scene and atmosphere of tomb-sweeping during the Qingming Festival at that time.
Why do we sweep tombs during Qingming Festival? This is probably because winter turns to spring and vegetation sprouts. People think of the tombs of their ancestors. When sweeping the tombs, they remove weeds, add new soil, offer sacrifices, burn incense and drink, burn some paper money, or hang some paper strips on branches, and perform a simple sacrificial ceremony. , to express remembrance of the deceased.
(2) The customs of Qingming Festival are rich and interesting. In addition to banning fires and sweeping tombs, there are also a series of customary sports activities such as outing, swinging, Cuju, playing polo, and planting willows. According to legend, this is because cold food and fire are forbidden during the Qingming Festival. In order to prevent cold food and cold meals from harming the body, everyone comes to participate in some sports activities to exercise. Therefore, in this festival, there are both the sadness and tears of paying respects to new graves and the laughter of outings. It is a unique festival.
(3) I mainly introduce to you the custom of flying kites. Flying kites is also a favorite activity during the Qingming Festival. During the Qingming Festival, people not only play during the day but also at night. At night, strings of small colorful lanterns are hung under the kite or on the guy wires, like twinkling stars, and are called "magic lanterns." In the past, some people would cut the strings after flying kites into the blue sky and let the breeze carry them to the ends of the earth. It is said that this can eliminate diseases and disasters and bring good luck to themselves.
A: Thank you classmates for introducing us. Now, I know more about Qingming Festival.
B: Since ancient times, sweeping tombs during the Qingming Festival is not only to commemorate one's ancestors, but also to commemorate people who have made contributions to the people and done good things in history. Visiting the tombs of martyrs and monuments to revolutionary martyrs during the Qingming Festival has become a way for us to receive revolutionary traditional education.
A: In this Qingming Festival, let us remember and learn from them. During the Qingming Festival, we can also go to the Martyrs Cemetery to take a look. There we can learn from the deeds of heroes and martyrs.
B: I know too many names of heroes and martyrs, including Dong Cunrui who sacrificed his life to blow up a bunker, Qiu Shaoyun who was burned by fire to cover the large army, and a little hero king who is about the same age as us. Second primary school.
A: There is a special song called Singing Wang Er Xiao. Let’s give it a listen.
4. Play "Singing Erxiao Cowherd" (with PPT).
B: Wang Erxiao is really amazing. Although he is young, he is so brave.
A: Martyrs, when the Chinese nation faced a life-and-death danger, they built the Great Wall with their own flesh and blood and fought against the Japanese imperialist invaders.
B: It was they who turned their love for the country and the working people into the spiritual strength to fight the enemy in battle. They were not afraid of sacrifice and moved forward courageously, establishing a new China in which the people are the masters of the country
A: Next, let us listen to another story about Xia Minghan.
5. "The Story of Xia Minghan"
Xia Minghan is from Hengyang, Hunan. He joined the Communist Party of China and did a lot for the party's cause. Unfortunately, he was arrested in Hankou on February 7, 1928. Xia Minghan was detained in prison. The enemy used various means to get Xia Minghan to reveal the underground organization of the Communist Party of China, but got nothing. Another interrogation began. Xia Minghan walked in calmly, holding his head high and glaring angrily at the evil presiding judge.
The presiding officer asked: "What is your surname?"
Xia Minghan replied: "Your surname is Dong."
"Your surname is clearly Xia, why did you say your surname is Dong? ! It’s just nonsense!”
“I speak according to the logic of the Kuomintang. Your logic confuses right and wrong. You call murder a mercy and I also use it. Your logic is to say that the surname "Xia" is "Dong". This is called fighting fire with fire."
The presiding judge asked a few more questions, but couldn't find anything. The reactionaries did not find even half a straw in Xia Minghan and lost hope. They had to resort to the last resort and announced "execution on the spot".
On February 9, the third day after Xia Minghan was arrested, the reactionaries took Xia Minghan to the execution ground. Xia Minghan was calm and composed, repeatedly chanting revolutionary slogans, and then sang "The Internationale". The people around him were moved to tears; the reactionaries were frightened by this awe-inspiring righteousness.
The execution time is coming soon. The reactionaries asked Xia Minghan: "Do you have anything else to say?"
Xia Minghan said: "I want to write out what I said, bring me paper and pen!"
The reactionaries also hoped that Xia Minghan could finally provide some useful information, so they immediately gave him a pen and a piece of paper.
Xia Minghan took it and wrote an upright and awe-inspiring martyrdom poem: It doesn't matter if you behead, as long as the principle is true. Kill Xia Minghan, and there will be successors.
After finishing writing, I read it loudly and threw the pen on the ground.
Xia Minghan died generously. He used his own blood and life to compose a heroic revolutionary song.
