The content of our Tomb-Sweeping Day handwritten newspaper

The contents of our holiday Qingming handwritten newspaper are as follows:

Tomb-Sweeping Day, also known as outing festival, outing festival, March festival, ancestor worship festival, etc. It was celebrated at the turn of mid-spring and late spring. Tomb-Sweeping Day is the biggest ancestor worship festival of the Chinese nation, which originated from ancestors' beliefs and customs of worshipping spring. Tomb-Sweeping Day has two connotations of nature and humanity, which are both natural solar terms and traditional festivals.

Grave-sweeping and outing are the two major themes of Tomb-Sweeping Day etiquette and customs, and these two traditional themes have been passed down from ancient times to the present in China. The second bucket (or solar calendar reaches 15) is Tomb-Sweeping Day gas, and the time of gas exchange in Tomb-Sweeping Day generally changes from April 4 to 6 in Gregorian calendar, which is not fixed on a certain day, but April 5 is the most common. Qingming, a solar term, is full of vitality.

Everything "spits out the old and absorbs the new", and the earth presents a scene of spring, tranquility and peace, which is a good time to go for a walk in the spring and sweep the graves. Tomb-Sweeping Day's ancestor worship is very long, 8 days before Tomb-Sweeping Day 10, and 8 days before and after Tomb-Sweeping Day 10 (at the turn of the middle and late spring). These nearly 20 days belong to Tomb-Sweeping Day who worships his ancestors. Tomb-Sweeping Day is a traditional major Spring Festival, which pays homage to graves and remembers ancestors.

It is a fine tradition of the Chinese nation since ancient times, which is not only conducive to promoting filial piety and family memory, but also conducive to promoting the cohesion and identity of family members and even the nation. Tomb-Sweeping Day's combination of natural solar terms and humanistic customs is the unity of time, place and people, which fully embodies the harmony of "heaven, earth and people" pursued by the ancestors of the Chinese nation.

Meteorological changes:

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 alive, and nature presents a vibrant scene. In the south of China, the climate is fresh and warm, and the land is beautiful in spring. In the northern region, the snow began to fall, 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 dusty weather in a year. The weather here seems to be two different days in the north and south. The north is dry and rainy, and 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 rainfall in April in most areas of the south of the Yangtze River is above 100 mm.
