Brief introduction of Tomb-Sweeping Day

Tomb-Sweeping Day, also known as outing festival, outing festival, March festival, ancestor worship festival, etc. It was celebrated at the turn of mid-spring and summer and spring. Tomb-Sweeping Day originated from the ancestral belief and the custom of worshipping spring in ancient times, which has both natural and humanistic connotations. It is both a natural solar term and a traditional festival. Grave-sweeping and outing are the two major themes of Tomb-Sweeping Day etiquette and customs, and these two traditional themes have been passed down from ancient times to the present in China.

Tomb-Sweeping Day is an ancient festival of the Chinese nation. This is not only a festival to sweep grass, but also a festival for people to get close to nature, go for an outing and enjoy the happiness of spring.
