Festivals (e.g., Qingming Festival)

Festivals are significant cultural events that often celebrate traditions, seasons, or historical events. One example is the Qingming Festival, also known as Tomb-Sweeping Day, celebrated mainly in China. It occurs around early April, where families honor and remember their ancestors by visiting their graves, cleaning them, and making offerings. People also enjoy spring outings, flying kites, and enjoying seasonal foods. Such festivals foster a sense of community, allow people to connect with their heritage, and provide a moment to reflect on the past while enjoying the present.
