It is a traditional Chinese festival and one of the most important festivals for worshipping ancestors. It is a day for worshipping ancestors and sweeping tombs. The traditional Qingming Festival of the Chinese nation began around the Zhou Dynasty and has a history of more than 2,500 years. Qingming was originally just the name of a solar term. It became a festival to commemorate ancestors and was related to the Cold Food Festival. Duke Wen of Jin designated the day after Cold Food Festival as Qingming Festival. In most areas of Shanxi, the Cold Food Festival is celebrated the day before Qingming Festival; in Yushe County and other places, the Cold Food Festival is celebrated two days before Qingming Festival; Yanqu County also celebrates the day before Qingming Festival as Cold Food Festival, and the two days before as Minor Cold Food Festival. Qingming Festival is one of China's important "Eight Annual Festivals". It is usually around April 5th of the Gregorian calendar. The festival period is very long. There are two sayings: 8 days before and 10 days after the 10th day of the 10th day, and 10 days before and 10 days after the 10th day of the 10th day. These nearly 20 days are all Qingming Festival. Qingming Festival originally refers to the fifteenth day after the spring equinox. In 1935, the government of the Republic of China designated April 5 as a national holiday Qingming Festival, also known as the National Tomb-Sweeping Festival. What should we pay attention to during Qingming Festival?1. Taboos on happy events such as weddings. Ancient people attached great importance to weddings and funerals. They believed that happy events such as weddings must be auspicious and must bring good omens.During the Qingming Festival, every family visits the graves to pay homage to their ancestors; children who live far away from home also burn paper money for their ancestors at the roadside. People's faces are mostly filled with sadness and longing. Such an atmosphere is not suitable for holding weddings or other happy events. 2. Large-scale washing is not advisable. According to old customs, the souls of the deceased can only come out to wash and dry clothes and bedding during the Qingming Festival when all things come back to life. Therefore, there are dead souls washing and drying clothes by the river, stream, well, and spring. Therefore, the living people should give the deceased opportunities and space, and do not compete with them for space and water. Let them wash themselves properly. 3. It is not advisable to use large fireworks. Qingming is also called Cold Food Festival. According to legend, it was first ordered by Duke Wen of Jin to designate the day when he set fire to the mountain as Cold Food Festival in order to commemorate Jie Zitui, who was kind to him but was burned to death due to his wrong decision. He also announced to the whole country that fireworks were prohibited on this day every year and only meals prepared in advance could be eaten. As times change, the ban on fireworks has been abolished. However, out of respect for the righteous hero Jie Zitui, people still continued the custom of the Cold Food Festival. They usually prepare food before Qingming Festival and try to avoid eating and drinking lavishly on Qingming Festival. 4. It is not appropriate to celebrate birthdays. The birth of a new life will not be affected by whether the day is good or bad, or whether it is a festival or not. However, people born on Qingming Festival generally do not celebrate their birthdays on this day. Instead, they will advance or postpone their birthdays to avoid the Qingming period.
