Yes, the fifth day of the third lunar month in 2022 is Qingming Festival.
Qingming Festival is an ancient festival of the Chinese nation. It is not only a solemn festival for sweeping tombs and paying homage to ancestors, but also a happy festival for people to get close to nature, go outings, and enjoy the fun of spring. The solar term Qingming is when the Big Dipper points to Yi (or the sun's ecliptic longitude reaches 15°), and the solar term begins around April 5 in the Gregorian calendar.
Qingming Festival is a major spring festival of the Chinese nation. Corresponding to the Qingming spring festival is the Chongyang autumn festival. The two spring and autumn festivals have existed since ancient times. The Chinese nation has had the custom of respecting ancestors and remembering their ancestors since ancient times. Qingming Festival has a long history. It has changed with the development of the times and gradually merged the customs of Cold Food Festival and Shangsi Festival. In ancient times, customs in the north and south of my country were different. Before the Tang Dynasty, tomb sweeping in northern my country was mainly done during the Cold Food Festival and the Cold Clothes Festival. According to the records in "The Book of Rites" and other documents, there was no custom of visiting tombs and offering sacrifices on Qingming Festival in northern my country before the Tang Dynasty. By the Tang Dynasty, visiting tombs and offering sacrifices on Qingming Festival had become a custom. The Tang Dynasty was a period when tomb-worshiping customs from all over my country's north and south merged. The Qingming tomb-worshiping customs were continued and expanded to all parts of the country. After the Tang Dynasty, the Cold Food Festival gradually declined because it was close to the Qingming Festival. During the Song and Yuan dynasties, Qingming Festival rose to the status of replacing Cold Food Festival, and incorporated customs of Cold Food Festival such as banning fire and eating cold food.
