Ching Ming
Ching Ming, also known as Tomb-Sweeping Day, is a traditional Chinese festival celebrated in early April. 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 lineage and the importance of remembering those who have passed away.
During Ching Ming, people often bring food, flowers, and incense to the gravesites. Many also enjoy outdoor activities, such as flying kites and enjoying springtime picnics. The festival symbolizes renewal and the arrival of spring, as well as the connection between the living and the deceased.
