What is the main activity of tug-of-war in China?

Tug of war is mainly a Qingming activity.

In ancient times, on this day, people would gather friends and relatives, help the old and take care of the young, and take advantage of the beautiful spring to go for an outing in the suburbs.

As early as the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, there was tug-of-war in Tomb-Sweeping Day, but it was not called tug-of-war at that time, but called "strong hook" or "pulling hook", which later evolved into a popular "hook-making play" in Jingchu area.
