Every year from April 4th to 6th in the solar calendar, among the 24 solar terms, Qingming is the only solar term that is both a solar term and a festival.

It is a concentrated expression of the Chinese cultural spirit of respecting the family, cautiously pursuing the future and appreciating the achievements of ancestors, so it has become the core content of festivals in Tomb-Sweeping Day.
