Tomb-Sweeping Day is one of the 24 seasonal divisions in China, which is held from April 4th to 6th every year. After the holiday, the temperature rose and the rainfall increased. This is the best time for spring ploughing and sowing. But Tomb-Sweeping Day is not only a season to guide farm work, but also a commemorative festival.

Tomb-Sweeping Day is a combination of sadness and happiness.

This is the most important sacrifice day. At this time, both Han people and ethnic minorities offered sacrifices to their ancestors and swept graves for the sick. Besides, they don't cook on this day, only cold food is served.

Han Shi (Cold Food Festival) is usually the day before Tomb-Sweeping Day. Since our ancestors often extended this day to Qingming, they later merged.

Every time I go to Tomb-Sweeping Day, all cemeteries are crowded with people who come to pay homage to the grave. The traffic became very heavy on the way to the cemetery. Today's customs have been greatly simplified. After a little grave sweeping, people will provide food, flowers and the favorite of the dead, then burn incense and paper money, and bow before the memorial tablet.

Contrary to the sadness of grave sweepers, people also enjoy the hope of spring on this day. Tomb-Sweeping Day is a time when the sun is shining, trees and grasslands turn green and nature is full of vitality again. Since ancient times, people have had the custom of spring outing. There are tourists everywhere at this time.

People like flying kites in Tomb-Sweeping Day. Flying kites is not limited to Tomb-Sweeping Day. It is unique in that people fly kites not during the day, but at night. A string of small lanterns tied to a kite or kite string looks like shining stars, so it is called "God's Lantern".

Tomb-Sweeping Day is also the time to plant trees, because the survival rate of saplings is high and trees grow fast. In the past, Tomb-Sweeping Day was called Arbor Day. However, since 1979, "Arbor Day" has been designated as March 12 according to the Gregorian calendar.

Tomb-Sweeping Day is an important traditional folk festival in China, and it is one of the "eight important festivals" (spring, summer, Tomb-Sweeping Day, Dragon Boat Festival, winter solstice, Mid-Autumn Festival and New Year's Eve). It's usually on April 5th in the solar calendar, but this season is very long, with two versions of ten days, eight days and ten days, and these nearly twenty days belong to Tomb-Sweeping Day. The origin of Tomb-Sweeping Day, it is said, began with the "uncrowned king" ceremony of the ancient emperor. Later, people followed suit, and it became a custom in China to worship ancestors and sweep graves here.

Tomb-Sweeping Day is coming, but only people go to the grave. However, because Tomb-Sweeping Day rarely has weekends, it is inconvenient for many commuters to go out to pay a memorial service. Folklorists call on the government to make Tomb-Sweeping Day a legal holiday, adjust the weekend and take three days off in Tomb-Sweeping Day, so that people can enjoy their affection and nostalgia.

Tomb-Sweeping Day is a day of mourning for the dead. For thousands of years, people have been chasing away in "Qingming Festival" and "Ji Li", solemnly remembering and respecting their dead relatives and ancestors. This sacred life exchange ceremony, passed down from generation to generation, constitutes an important driving force for people's survival and pursuit of happiness, and is an organic composition of the life, growth and continuous expansion of Chinese civilization in nature. So some experts and deputies to the National People's Congress called for the legalization of traditional festivals such as Tomb-Sweeping Day and the enhancement of cultural identity, national identity and national identity.
