Tomb-Sweeping Day date determination method:

One revolution of the earth is 360 degrees of the yellow meridian, and when the earth reaches zero degrees of the yellow meridian, it is designated as the vernal equinox, and then there is a solar term every time it runs 15 degrees, and there are 24 solar terms in * * *. Therefore, the dates of solar terms in the solar calendar are fixed, because leap years differ by at most two days. The lunar calendar is a yin-yang calendar that reflects phenological changes and guides agricultural time, and it also combines the 29.5-day cycle from lunar calendar to lunar phase.

A year is 12 months, but every month is 30 days, which is bound to be different. According to the solar calendar, Qingming can be set on April 5 or 4 (depending on February 29 of that year). Astronomically speaking, on April 5 or 6, when the sun (that is, the position of the sun on the ecliptic) reaches 15 degrees on the ecliptic, it can be designated as Qingming.
