What is the origin of Qingming Festival?

Qingming Festival, also known as the outing festival, the Qingming Festival, the March Festival, and the ancestor worship festival, is held at the turn of mid-spring and late spring. In its historical development, the Qingming Festival has absorbed the customs of banning fire and eating cold food from the Cold Food Festival. Legend has it that the Cold Food Festival was established in the Spring and Autumn Period to commemorate Jie Zitui, a loyal minister of the State of Jin. Although the Cold Food Festival is related to Jie Zitui in folk legends, the origin of the Cold Food Festival was not to commemorate Jie Zitui, but to follow the ancient custom of changing fire, which is what "The Book of Zhou" said: "In the middle of spring, use a wooden bell to repair the fire ban in the country."
Later, Qingming Festival also absorbed the customs of another earlier festival - Shangsi Festival. In ancient times, days were recorded using the "ganzhi" system. The first Si day in early March was called "Shangsi". After the Wei and Jin Dynasties, the festival was changed to the third day of the third lunar month, so it is also called Double Third Day or March 3rd. This festival was the most important festival in the ancient "Purification Bathing" activities. People went to the waterside to bathe in groups, which was called "Purification". Later, sacrificial banquets, and winding water flowing wine cups were added.
The Qingming Festival, which combines the customs of the two festivals, Cold Food Festival and Shangsi Festival, became a traditional festival centered on ancestor worship and tomb sweeping during the Song and Yuan dynasties, integrating the customs of banning fire and eating cold food during the Cold Food Festival with customs such as Shangsi outings. The Ming and Qing dynasties generally inherited the old systems of the previous dynasties, and Qingming Festival still maintained and developed its status as an indispensable festival in spring life.

What are the characteristics of the Grain Rain solar term?

Guyu is the sixth solar term of the twenty-four solar terms and the last solar term in spring. It occurs when the sun reaches 30° of the ecliptic longitude from April 19th to 21st every year. It comes from the ancient saying that "rain brings forth hundreds of grains." "The snow stops in Qingming and the frost stops in Guyu." Guyu is the last solar term in spring. The arrival of Guyu means that the cold wave weather is basically over and the temperature rises faster, which is greatly beneficial to the growth of cereal crops. As the saying goes, "A good fate is not as good as good luck." A person's destiny is already determined, and the only thing that can be controlled is his or her "luck."
