The Origin of Qingming Festival

The origin of Qingming Festival is said to have started from the "tomb sacrifice" ceremony of ancient emperors and generals. Later, the people also followed suit and worshiped their ancestors and swept tombs on this day. It has been passed down from generation to generation and has become a fixed custom of the Chinese nation. The name "Qingming Festival" also comes from the Qingming solar term among the 24 solar terms in the Chinese lunar calendar. The 108th day after the winter solstice is the Qingming solar term. The Qingming solar term lasts for 15 days. Qingming, as a solar term, comes after the vernal equinox.

"Qingming" is the most appropriate word to refer to this period.
