作文思路：首先說明清明節的性質和含義，接著介紹了節日時間，最後介紹祭奠周期，正文：
清明節是中華民族古老的節日，既是壹個掃墓祭祖的肅穆節日，也是人們親近自然、踏青遊玩、享受春天樂趣的歡樂節日。
Qingming Festival is an ancient festival of the Chinese nation. It is not only a solemn festival of sweeping tombs and offering sacrifices to ancestors, but also a happy festival for people to get close to nature, go outing and enjoy the fun of spring.
清明節氣時間在公歷4月5日前後。這壹時節，生氣旺盛、陰氣衰退，萬物“吐故納新”，大地呈現春和景明之象，正是郊外踏青春遊與行清墓祭的好時節。
Qingming solar term time in the Gregorian calendar before and after April 5. In this season, the vitality is exuberant, the Yin Qi is declining, and all things "give up the old and accept the new". The Earth presents the image of spring and scenery. It is a good time for suburban youth travel and Qing Dynasty tomb sacrifice.
清明祭祖節期很長，有10日前8日後及10日前10日後兩種說法，這近20天內均屬清明祭祖節期內。
The Qingming ancestor worship Festival lasts for a long time. There are two kinds of sayings: 10 days before and 8 days after and 10 days before and 10 days after. These nearly 20 days belong to the Qingming ancestor worship Festival.
