When is Qingming Festival in the lunar calendar?

Qingming has nothing to do with the lunar calendar. April 4th to 6th of the Gregorian calendar is Qingming.

Qingming is one of the twenty-four solar terms and the fifth solar term in spring. When the sun reached 15, it was sunny. Tomb-Sweeping Day got its name because it was "clear and beautiful, and everything was obvious" during the festival.

Qingming is a solar term that reflects the phenological changes in nature. At this time, the sun is shining, plants are sprouting, flowers are in full bloom, and nature presents a vibrant scene. In the south of China, it has become a clear and beautiful image at this time; Snow began to fall in the north, the temperature rose and spring blossomed.

There is no fixed day for Qingming Festival, but April 5th is the most common. Tomb-Sweeping Day is both a solar term and a festival, and Tomb-Sweeping Day atmosphere provides important conditions for the formation of Tomb-Sweeping Day customs in terms of time and weather phenology.

Tomb-Sweeping Day Qi related to phenology at the age of 20 is often used to guide farming, which means sunny weather and timely spring ploughing. Tomb-Sweeping Day is a day when people pay homage to their ancestors and pursue the future cautiously. Because of the integration of the two, Qingming has both natural and humanistic connotations.

Meteorological change

Qingming is a solar term that reflects the phenological changes in nature. At this time, the sun is shining, plants are sprouting, flowers are in full bloom, the air is fresh, everything is obvious, and nature presents a vibrant scene.

In the south of China, the climate is fresh and warm, the land is like spring, and the scenery is pleasant. In the northern region, the snow began to break and gradually entered the sunny spring; At this time, the temperature in the northern region rises rapidly, precipitation is scarce, and it is dry and windy, which is the time of year when sandstorm weather occurs.

The weather here seems to be two different days in the south and the north. The north is dry and rainy, while the south is wet and rainy. During the Qingming period, the rainfall in the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River in China increased significantly. Except for the eastern coast, the average precipitation in April in most areas south of the Yangtze River is above 100 mm.

Because of its geographical location to the south and South China close to the ocean, when affected by the front formed by the intersection of cold and warm air, heavy rainfall began to appear. The north is dry with little rain. Except for the northeast and northwest regions, the average daily temperature in most parts of the north has risen to above 65438 02℃.
