Qingming Festival Introduction
The Qingming Festival, falling on April 4th or 5th, is a significant traditional Chinese event, also referred to as Tomb Sweeping Day. It is a time when people pay respects to their ancestors and participate in activities that symbolize the ushering in of spring and the start of the farming season.
Traditionally, families visit their ancestors’ graves to clean them, offer food, tea, or wine, and burn incense or joss paper. It’s a day for remembrance and to pray for blessings upon the family. The festival also includes joyful activities like spring outings and kite flying, reflecting the brightness and clearness that the term ‘Qingming’ signifies.
Please note that the customs may vary regionally, and it’s essential to respect local traditions and practices during this time.
