Doubts about Qingming!

Qingming is one of the 24 solar terms in China. Because the 24 solar terms objectively reflect the changes of temperature, rainfall and phenology throughout the year, ancient working people used them to arrange agricultural activities.

In that kind of thick desk calendar (that is, one page can be torn off a day), the specific time of each solar term is generally indicated, which is completely calculated according to the lunar calendar. Tomb-Sweeping Day gas is generally between April 4th and 6th every year, not fixed on April 5th.

However, Qingming, as a festival, is different from pure solar terms. Solar terms are symbols of phenological changes and seasonal order in China, while festivals contain certain customs and activities, which have certain commemorative significance.
