The origin of Tomb-Sweeping Day:

Qingming is a solar term and one of the traditional 24 solar terms. This is the fifth solar term in spring, which literally means that the spring breeze is clean and bright, which is also the original intention of Qingming.

One of the most important ancestor worship customs in Tomb-Sweeping Day originated from the Tang Dynasty, and it also has a certain relationship with the memorial meson push of the Cold Food Festival. Cold food to worship ancestors was originally a folk custom. Later, the official thought it was more in line with filial piety, so it was recognized in the form of imperial edicts. Later, by creating holidays, its status was further improved.

Because the date of the Cold Food Festival was fixed one or two days before Tomb-Sweeping Day, it was gradually replaced by Tomb-Sweeping Day, and basically Tomb-Sweeping Day inherited all the customs. Later, I only knew Tomb-Sweeping Day, but it was almost the Cold Food Festival.
