清明节
清明节, also known as the Qingming Festival, is a traditional Chinese holiday that usually falls on April 4th or 5th. It is a time for families to honor their ancestors by visiting their graves, cleaning the tombstones, and making offerings. This practice reflects the deep respect for family and heritage in Chinese culture.
In addition to ancestor worship, 清明节 is also associated with the arrival of spring. People often enjoy outdoor activities, such as flying kites and having picnics. The festival is a blend of remembrance and celebration, marking a time for reflection and renewal.
