Qingming (Festival)
Qingming, also known as the 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.
In addition to ancestor worship, Qingming is also associated with the arrival of spring. People often enjoy outdoor activities such as flying kites and having picnics. The festival symbolizes renewal and the beauty of nature, as families come together to celebrate life and remember their heritage.
