When is Qingming?

Qingming usually changes from April 4 to 6 in the Gregorian calendar, and it is not fixed on a certain day, but April 5 is the most common.

Qingming is one of the twenty-four solar terms and the fifth solar term in spring. It will clear up when the sun reaches 15. Tomb-Sweeping Day was named after "The Riverside Scene at Qingming Festival shows everything". Qingming is a solar term that reflects the phenological changes in nature. At this time, the sun is shining, plants are sprouting, flowers are in full bloom, and nature presents a vibrant scene.

Tomb-Sweeping Day is both a solar term and a festival, and Tomb-Sweeping Day atmosphere provides important conditions for the formation of Tomb-Sweeping Day customs in terms of time and weather phenology. Tomb-Sweeping Day Qi, which is related to the phenology of 20 years old, is often used to guide farming, indicating that the weather is fine and spring ploughing is timely. Tomb-Sweeping Day is a day when people pay homage to their ancestors and pursue the future cautiously. Because of the integration of the two, Qingming has both natural and humanistic connotations.
