Why is Qingming Festival also called Ghost Festival?

Qingming Festival is known as one of the three major traditional ghost festivals in China.
This is because Qingming Festival is the day for ancestor worship, and new soil needs to be thrown on the graves to add to the tombs. In addition, the flowers and plants beside the graves need to be taken care of to make them tidy and clean. Therefore, it is also considered as one of the ghost festivals.

Visiting graves on Qingming Festival shows that Qingming is also the time when ghosts appear and the day when the gates to the underworld are opened, but it is different from the Zhongyuan Festival (the real ghost festival).
The deceased people commemorated during Qingming Festival are one's ancestors and relatives, while the Zhongyuan Festival is mainly for worshipping lonely ghosts, so the nature of the two is different.

——About the customs of Qingming Festival: flying kites

Kites are also called "paper kites" or "kites". Flying kites is a favorite activity among people during the Qingming Festival. A kite is a kind of flying vehicle that uses only aerodynamics and is made by pasting paper or silk on a bamboo frame and then flying into the sky by pulling a long string tied to the frame.
During the Qingming Festival, people set off fireworks not only during the day but also at night.
At night, strings of colorful lanterns are hung under the kite or on the wind-stable pull line. They look like twinkling stars and are called "magic lanterns."
In the past, some people would cut the strings after releasing the kites into the blue sky and let the breeze carry them to the ends of the earth. It was said that this would ward off disease and disaster and bring good luck.
