Qingming

Qingming, also known as Tomb-Sweeping Day, is a traditional Chinese holiday observed annually around April 4th or 5th. It is a time for families to honor their ancestors by cleaning and maintaining their graves, offering food, burning incense, and paying respects. The day also marks the arrival of spring, promoting outdoor activities like outings and enjoying nature. Qingming blends filial piety with seasonal renewal, serving both as a cultural remembrance and a celebration of life, fostering familial bonds and cultural continuity.
