从传统到现代:开封清明文化节的未来展望

From Tradition to Modern Time: the Future Prospect of Kaifeng's Qingming Festival

清明节是中国的传统节日,亦是中国传统节日文化的集中体现。宋代开封清明节以扫墓为主,兼有踏青、游园、宴请、聚会、敦亲、睦族等,同时还带有明显的商业文化特色,整体氛围愉快而轻松。现代多以扫墓祭祖为主。开封借助"一图一书"即《清明上河图》、《东京梦华录》,造宋风的说法,使开封选择清明节作为主题文化节成为可能。不过,在清明文化节的构建过程中,应开展政府的干预、媒体的宣传、民众的广泛参与更加有机结合,唤起人们的传统情感,让清明文化节成为开封的节日符号。

Qingmin Festival is the traditional festival in China, and also concentrated reflection of Chinese culture of traditional festivals. In Song Dynasty, people swept tombs as the main event in qingming festival in Kaifeng city, also they go hiking in spring, play in gardens, entertain guests, gather with friends, and make harmonious relationship with kinsfolk. The whole atmosphere is pleasant and relaxing, together with some evident features of busi- ness culture. Nowadays sweeping tombs and worshiping the ancestors become the main activities in the festival. The picture of Riverside Scene in Qingming Festival, and the book K, aifeng Townscape, have provided a wonderful reason for Kaifeng city to choose the qingming festival as its subject cultural festival because of presentation of Song Dynasty＇ s living style in the picture and the book. Yet in the construction of qingming cultural festival we should make organic combination among governmental, media＇ s publicity, and people＇ s broad participation so as to inspire people＇s traditional feelings and make the qingming festival as Kaifeng＇ s festival symbol.
