The Historical Origin of Tomb-Sweeping Day

"Twenty-four solar terms" is the product of ancient farming civilization, which is related to the time of official support and gossip and has a long history. The twenty-four solar terms were originally determined by the direction of Beidou bucket handle, and bucket handle started from the "Yin position" and turned clockwise for one year. When the barrel handle points to the "B position", it is clear.

Therefore, Huainanzi said, "Fifteen days after the vernal equinox means B, and the wind will clear up." Another article, A Hundred Questions at the Age, explains this: "At this time, everything grows clean and bright. So it is called Qingming. " Tomb-Sweeping Day was named after "The Riverside Scene at Qingming Festival shows everything".

Qingming is a vibrant season, and it is also the decline season of Yin Qi. The earth presents the image of spring and tranquility, which is a good opportunity to go for a spring outing in the suburbs and offer sacrifices to graves. Qingming has both natural and humanistic connotations, which is both a natural solar term and a traditional festival. Tomb-Sweeping Day is rich in festivals and customs. Grave-sweeping and outing are two major themes in Tomb-Sweeping Day.
