Does Tomb-Sweeping Day mean the date of the lunar calendar or the national calendar? Is there a fixed date?
Tomb-Sweeping Day is a traditional festival in China, and it is also the most important festival of sacrifice. Tomb-Sweeping Day was an important solar term from the beginning. As the date of "Cold Food" approaches, the two gradually merge, so Tomb-Sweeping Day is also called Cold Food Festival. The traditional Tomb-Sweeping Day in China began in the Zhou Dynasty and has a history of more than 2,500 years. During the Qingming Festival, the spring is bright and the vegetation is lush, which is also a good time for people to travel in the spring. Therefore, Tomb-Sweeping Day is also called Youth Day. Tomb-Sweeping Day not only pays attention to the prohibition of fire to sweep graves, but also has a series of customs and sports activities, such as outing, swinging, cuju, playing polo and inserting willows.

Tomb-Sweeping Day eats several traditional foods:
1, Eggs: According to folk custom, Tomb-Sweeping Day will be in good health all year round if she eats an egg. Tomb-Sweeping Day's eating eggs originated from the custom of forbidding fire in some areas in the pre-Qin period, and forbidding eating cold food for many days. Hard-boiled eggs are the best food reserves to survive this period.
2. Green dumplings: During the Qingming Festival, Jiangnan has the custom of eating green dumplings. Green jiaozi is made by mashing a wild plant called "Pulp Wheat Straw" to squeeze out juice, and then mixing this juice with dry pure glutinous rice flour and kneading it.
3. Pancakes: There is a saying in Xiamen called "Eating Pancakes on Qingming Day", which means that Tomb-Sweeping Day's family will get together to make pancakes after sweeping the grave. Today, most parts of southern Fujian still retain such customs and habits.
