Tomb-Sweeping Day is the fifth solar term in a year, according to April 5th and 6th of the Gregorian calendar and the first half of March of the lunar calendar. The ancients counted solar terms from the solstice of winter, from the solstice of winter to Qingming, and there were seven solar terms in the middle. Each solar term is calculated as 15 days, which is 105 days, and Tomb-Sweeping Day is 106 days. Therefore, the ancients said: "The 16th day of the winter solstice is Qingming", and said: "The 15th day of the vernal equinox will bring the wind of Qingming."

The word "Qingming" is explained in ancient books: "Everything is pure and bright at this point"; In other books, there are also "Tong Shihua, Jian Sheng" and "Qingming Wind lives in the southeast dimension, and the main wind blows everything". Qingming is a symbol of the Yellow River Basin in China. The winter with withered trees has passed, and the sunny spring has arrived. Working people arrange their crops according to the solar terms. There is a saying in the twenty-four solar terms that "Qingming is busy planting wheat and Grain Rain is busy farming".

People think about the graves of ancestors, whether foxes and rabbits have pierced holes, and whether they will collapse because of the rainy season. So on the one hand, they went to the grave to remove weeds, trim branches and add some shovel to the grave; On the other hand, prepare some sacrifices, burn some paper money, hang some notes on the branches and hold a simple ceremony to show the memory of the deceased.
