Qingming Festival, also known as the outing festival, the Qingming Festival, the March Festival, the ancestor worship festival, etc., is held at the turn of mid-spring and late spring.
Qingming Festival is an important traditional festival in my country and one of the "Eight Important Festivals". It is usually held on April 5th of the Gregorian calendar. However, the festival period is very long. There are two sayings: "eight days before and ten days after" and "ten days before and ten days after". These nearly twenty days are all part of the Qingming Festival period. As the fifth solar term in the 24 solar terms of the lunar calendar, Qingming marks the official beginning of the spring season.
The traditional custom during the Qingming Festival is for families to visit the graves and pay tribute to their ancestors. This custom originated very early in China. As early as the Western Zhou Dynasty, tombs were given great importance. During the reign of Emperor Xuanzong of Tang, he issued an edict to make tomb sweeping on Cold Food Day one of the “Five Rites” at that time. Since then, tomb sweeping has become an important social custom during the Qingming Festival.
