Qingming Festival
Qingming Festival
The Qingming Festival originates from the ancestral beliefs and spring rites and customs of ancient times, with both natural and humanistic connotations. It is both a natural solar term point and a traditional festival. It is said that the festival began with the "tomb offering " ceremony of the ancient emperors and generals. Later, the people also imitated it, offering sacrifices to their ancestors and sweeping their tombs on this day, which has become a fixed custom of the Chinese nation.
Qingming custom: tomb sweeping, outing, tree planting, kite flying, willow, tug-of-war, swing, cockfighting, Cuju, silkworm flower club, ship, Qingtuan and so on.....
A year a clear, a year old remembrance.
Walking with spring, thoughts and hopes are with us
