Qingming Festival 2020-Can we still visit graves during the epidemic?

The Qingming Festival in 2020 falls on April 4th. According to the current situation, the epidemic has not completely subsided by then, so it is not recommended to visit the graves during the Qingming Festival in 2020.
After all, tomb sweeping on Qingming Festival will inevitably involve gatherings of people, which is very unfavorable for the control of the epidemic. Therefore, it is not recommended to go out to sweep tombs.
At the same time, since the Qingming Festival is very long, there are two sayings: 8 days before the 10th and 10 days before the 10th. These nearly 20 days are all within the Qingming Festival, so you can avoid the crowds when sweeping tombs.
However, there is still some time before that time, so there is no need to be too anxious. We have to wait for the epidemic to be under control, and also wait for notifications from relevant departments. Therefore, whether we can visit graves during the Qingming Festival in 2020 remains to be discussed!

Qingming Festival is known as one of China's four major traditional festivals along with the Spring Festival, Dragon Boat Festival and Mid-Autumn Festival.
In addition to China, some countries and regions in the world also celebrate Qingming Festival, such as Vietnam, South Korea, Malaysia, Singapore, etc.
On May 20, 2006, the Qingming Festival, submitted by the Ministry of Culture of the People's Republic of China, was approved by the State Council to be included in the first batch of national intangible cultural heritage list (category: folk custom; number: Ⅹ-2).

About the historical origins of Qingming Festival:

Qingming Festival is the most solemn and grand festival for ancestor worship of the Chinese nation. It is a traditional cultural festival for honoring ancestors and remembering the dead.
The Qingming Festival embodies the national spirit, inherits the sacrificial culture of Chinese civilization, and expresses people's moral sentiments of respecting their ancestors and carrying on their wills.
Tomb sweeping is also called "tomb sacrifice", which is called "timely respect" for ancestors. The two sacrifices in spring and autumn have existed since ancient times. Qingming Festival has a long history and originated from ancestor worship and spring sacrificial customs in ancient times.
According to the research results of modern anthropology and archaeology, the two most primitive beliefs of human beings are belief in heaven and earth, and belief in ancestors. The formulation of the ancient Ganzhi calendar provided the prerequisite for the formation of the festival. Ancestor belief and sacrificial culture are important factors in the formation of the Qingming ancestor worship customs.
According to archaeological excavations, a tomb dating back 10,000 years was discovered at the Qingtang site in Yingde, Guangdong. It is the earliest tomb in China with a confirmed burial style, indicating that ancient ancestors had clear and conscious burial behaviors and ritual concepts 10,000 years ago.
The custom of "tomb sacrifice" has a long historical origin. The Qingming "tomb sacrifice" is a synthesis and sublimation of traditional spring customs.
The Qingming Festival has rich customs, which can be summarized into two major festival traditions: one is to honor ancestors and remember the dead; the other is to go on outings and get close to nature.
The Qingming Festival not only has the themes of tomb sweeping, remembrance and memorializing, but also has the themes of outing and refreshing the body and mind. The traditional concept of "harmony between man and nature" is vividly reflected in the Qingming Festival.
Through historical development, Qingming Festival in the Tang and Song dynasties integrated the customs of Cold Food Festival and Shangsi Festival, blending various folk customs from many places into one, and has extremely rich cultural connotations.
