Qingming

Qingming is one of the twenty-four solar terms in China,

typically falling on April 4-6 each year. The celebration for

the Qingming Festival can be traced back to the Eastern Zhou

Dynasty, with a history of over 2,500 years. After Qingming

time, the temperature begins to rise up and rainfall

increases, indicating that it is the crucial time for the

farmers to arrange their farming activities accordingly.

Meanwhile, it is the high time for spring outing, when people

go out for fresh air, kinds of recreations and sports

activities. More importantly, Qingming is also a period to

honour and to pay respect to one's deceased ancestors and

family members.
