The implication of Qingming qi

1, "Qingming" means that the climate is warm, plants sprout and peaches are in full bloom, giving people a fresh, clear and prosperous feeling everywhere.

Qingming is an ancient festival of the Chinese nation. It is not only a solemn festival to sweep graves and worship ancestors, but also a happy festival for people to get close to nature, go for an outing and enjoy the fun of spring. Tomb-Sweeping Day is located on April 5th of the Gregorian calendar, that is,15th after the vernal equinox. At this time, the vitality is booming, the yin is declining, everything is "going to the old and welcoming the new", and the earth presents a scene full of spring, which is a good time to go for a walk in the spring and sweep the graves.

Qingming, one of the 24 solar terms, is the fifth solar term in spring. When the sun reaches longitude 15, the sky is clear.

Second, voles become owls; The third one is waiting for the beginning of the rainbow, which means that the white tung blossoms first, then the shaded voles disappear and all return to the underground caves, and then the rainbow can be seen in the sky after the rain. In Tomb-Sweeping Day, the weather in most parts of China won't be cold, so it's spring. But the weather here, the south and the north seem to be two different days, the north is dry and rainy, and the south is wet and rainy.
