Is Qingming in solar terms the same day as Qingming in traditional festivals?

Tomb-Sweeping Day in solar terms and Tomb-Sweeping Day in traditional festivals are not on the same day.

Tomb-Sweeping Day and Tomb-Sweeping Day, a traditional solar festival, are not strictly a day. Tomb-Sweeping Day Qi is a time period, which generally means 15 days or so, while Tomb-Sweeping Day only has one day. The day when Tomb-Sweeping Day Qi started was called Tomb-Sweeping Day.

Tomb-Sweeping Day is the product of Tomb-Sweeping Day Qi. Tomb-Sweeping Day, as we often say, refers to Tomb-Sweeping Day on holidays, while Tomb-Sweeping Day gas is Tomb-Sweeping Day gas in the traditional 24 solar terms in China. Tomb-Sweeping Day Qi has the traditional custom of offering sacrifices to sweep graves, so Tomb-Sweeping Day is the product of Tomb-Sweeping Day Qi. Tomb-Sweeping Day is first of all a very important solar term. As soon as Tomb-Sweeping Day arrives, the temperature rises, which is a good season for spring ploughing and planting. So there is an agricultural proverb about planting melons and beans before and after Tomb-Sweeping Day.

Tomb-Sweeping Day custom

1, ancestor worship and grave sweeping

Tomb-Sweeping Day is one of the four traditional festivals in China, and it is a day to worship ancestors and sweep graves. Grave sweeping is commonly known as going to the grave. In Han and some ethnic minority areas, people take fruits, food, paper money and other things to the cemetery according to local customs. Put the offerings in front of the cemetery, burn the paper money to ashes, add some new soil to the grave, and then kowtow in front of the grave.
