Reviewing Japanese Grammar via Genki1

Let's Review Lesson 8, Genki 1

清明节，又称踏青节、行清节、三月节、祭祖节等。清明节源自上古时代的祖先信仰与春祭礼俗，兼具自然与人文两大内涵，既是自然节气点，也是传统节日。扫墓祭祖与踏青郊游是清明节的两大礼俗主题，这两大传统礼俗主题在中国自古传承，至今不辍。 

清明节在公历4月5日前后。

清明节是传统的重大春祭节日，扫墓祭祀、缅怀祖先，是中华民族自古以来的优良传统。清明节融汇自然节气与人文风俗为一体，是天时地利人和的合一，充分体现了中华民族先祖们追求“天、地、人”的和谐合一，讲究顺应天时地宜、遵循自然规律的思想。

清明节与春节、端午节、中秋节并称为中国四大传统节日。除了中国，世界上还有一些国家和地区也过清明节，比如越南、韩国、马来西亚、新加坡等。


Qingming Festival, also known as outing Festival, Qingming festival, March festival, ancestor worship festival. Tomb-sweeping Day comes from the ancient beliefs of our ancestors and the customs of Spring Festival. It is both natural and cultural. It is not only a natural solar term point but also a traditional festival.  Tomb sweeping and ancestor worship and outing are the two themes of the Qingming Festival. These two traditional themes have been passed down in China since ancient times.  

Tomb-sweeping Day falls around April 5 in the Gregorian calendar.  

Qingming Festival is a major traditional Spring Festival. It is a fine tradition of the Chinese nation since ancient times to sweep tombs and offer sacrifices to ancestors.  Qingming Festival combines natural solar terms and cultural customs as a whole, is the unity of heaven, earth and man, fully embodies the Chinese ancestors to pursue the harmony of "heaven, earth and man", pay attention to conform to the idea of heaven and earth, follow the laws of nature.  

Qingming Festival, The Spring Festival, Dragon Boat Festival and Mid-Autumn Festival are called the four traditional Festivals in China.  Besides China, qingming Festival is also celebrated in some countries and regions in the world, such as Vietnam, South Korea, Malaysia and Singapore.

こんにちは！
Japanese daily life podcast のAtsushiです。
このPodcastは、日本語を楽しく勉強しているみなさんに向けたPodcastです。


今日は京都の鴨川について話します。

みなさんは京都の鴨川を見たことがありますか？
実は先週、京都に行きました。

鴨川にそって歩きました。
とても気持ち良かったので、海外の人にも行ってほしいなと思ったので、Podcastで話そうと思います。

ぼくは今回は鴨川沿いを2時間ぐらい歩きました。

京都駅から歩いて行きました。
京都駅の目の前に京都タワーがあります。
それを見て右へ行きます。
東ですね。

歩いて行くと鴨川に着きますので、それを左、北の方へ歩きます。階段を降りて鴨川沿いを歩くことができます。

日本人も外国人もいます。
歩いている人、自転車の人、遊んでいる人、走っている人、いろいろです。

川沿いは時間が少しゆっくり流れているように感じて気持ちがいいです。

川の周りはあまり大きな建物はないので、北の山の方まで景色が見えて気持ちがいいです。

途中で清水寺の方へ行ったり、二条城の方へ行ったりするのも良いですね。

世界遺産がたくさんありますが、この鴨川をのんびり歩くのもとても良い旅行の方法だと思います。

京都に1週間ぐらい滞在する人も多いと思うので、もし時間がある人は行ってみてください！


こんな感じで、日本の旅行の話についてもいろんな話をすることができます。ぼくと話したい、と思った方はぜひ、オンラインレッスンでお話しましょう！

お待ちしています！

今回も最後まで聞いていただき、ありがとうございます！
ではまた！
