Expanding knowledge-the origin of Tomb-Sweeping Day;

In addition to Tomb-Sweeping Day, Bonin Festival and Festival, it is also the "Four Ancestor Worship Festivals" in traditional festivals in China. Every year when the sun reaches 15 on April 4 or 5 of the solar calendar, the 24 solar terms say, "March Festival ... by this time, everything is clean and clear." Therefore, Tomb-Sweeping Day always falls on April 4th or 5th of the lunar calendar.

"When I Ask a Hundred Questions" says: "When everything grows, it is pure and bright, hence the name Qingming." "Almanac": "On the fifteenth day after the vernal equinox, the bucket refers to Ding, which is used for Qingming, when everything is clean and bright, and when it is covered, everything is clean and bright, hence the name." Because Tomb-Sweeping Day is determined according to the solar terms, Tomb-Sweeping Day is one of the few traditional festivals in China that roughly coincide with the western calendar. Qingming was just the name of a solar term at first, and later became a festival to commemorate ancestors, which was related to the Cold Food Festival.

According to folklore, Jin Wengong designated the second day of the Cold Food Festival as Tomb-Sweeping Day. In most parts of Shanxi, the day before Tomb-Sweeping Day was the Cold Food Festival. Tomb-Sweeping Day in Yushe County and other places celebrated the Cold Food Festival two days ago; Yuanqu County also pays attention to Tomb-Sweeping Day's Cold Food Festival the day before, and the light cold food the day before. In some areas, there is a custom of sweeping graves on the third day of the third lunar month, so it is called Xiao Qingming and Gu Qingming.
