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。

حكاية مصرية

La culpa es de la vaca" ilustra la externalización de la culpa. Un investigador encuestó almacenes en Colombia sobre productos de cuero: precios altos y baja calidad. Los fabricantes culparon a las curtiembres por aranceles. Las curtiembres a los mataderos por mala calidad de cueros. Los mataderos a los ganaderos por poco uso de venenos y marcas en las reses. Los ganaderos a las vacas por restregarse en alambres. Conclusión: ¡las vacas son estúpidas! Esta historia, resumida por Fernando Cepeda en El Tiempo, se basa en investigación del libro "Changing the Mind of a Nation" (Harrison & Huntington), cap. de Michael Fairbanks. © 2002 Jaime Lopera G. y Martha Inés Bernal T.

La culpa es de la vaca

最近、道にたくさんのりんごが落ちています。
私はりんごが好きなので年中りんごを食べています。最近はスーパーでりんごを買わずに、道で拾ったりんごをよく食べています。このりんごは売っているりんごよりもすっぱいので、そのまま食べるとあまりおいしくありません。なので、昨日アップルパイを作りました。冷凍のパイ生地を使ったので、とても簡単でおいしくできました。
そろそろ栗も出てくる季節なのでオーブンで栗を焼いて食べるのも楽しみです。でも、今ヨーロッパの電気代はとても上がっているので、今年は少しオーブンを使うのを控えた方がいいかもしれません。

Nihongo Short Story by Noriko

秋はりんごの季節です(Autumn is the season for apples)

In questo episodio parlo brevemente della tendenza umana di chiedersi il perché delle cose, 
nello studio delle lingue non credo che questo sia di grande aiuto, sapere perché in giapponese il verbo segue il complemento oggetto invece di anticiparlo, non necessariamente migliora le nostre abilità linguistiche in giapponese, ciò che è importante invece è NOTARE e sapere che il verbo va a fine frase e non il perché questo accada.
