Tomb-Sweeping Day is a day to remember the dead and their loved ones. More importantly, this is a time to pay tribute to the deceased ancestors and their families. Because it strengthens the ethics of filial piety, Tomb-Sweeping Day is an important festival in China. Literally meaning "Qing" and "Ming", this China festival is in early spring, from winter to the next day 106. This is a "spring" festival, when the whole family leaves home to visit the grave. China people are practical, and the time for sweeping graves has been extended, that is, 10 days before and after Tomb-Sweeping Day. Some dialogue groups have allocated a whole month. Tomb-Sweeping Day is a festival in memory of ancestors. The main memorial ceremony is to sweep the grave, which is a concrete manifestation of being cautious and pursuing the distance, loving the country and filial piety; Based on the above significance, Tomb-Sweeping Day has therefore become an important festival for China people. Tomb-Sweeping Day is at the turn of mid-spring and late spring, that is, after the winter solstice 106 days. Grave-sweeping activities usually take place in the first ten days or the last ten days in Tomb-Sweeping Day. In some areas, people's grave-sweeping activities will last for one month.

Dragon Boat Festival

Dragon Boat Festival, usually called Dragon Boat Festival or Dragon Boat Festival, is a traditional festival in China held on the fifth day of the fifth lunar month in China. It is also called double five. Since then, other parts of East Asia have also celebrated this festival in various ways, especially North Korea.

The exact origin of the Dragon Boat Festival is not clear, but a traditional view holds that this festival is to commemorate Qu Yuan, a poet in China during the Warring States Period. He threw himself into the river because he hated the corruption of the Chu government. The local people knew that he was a good man and decided to throw food into the river to feed the fish to prevent them from eating Qu's body. They are still sitting on the dragon boat, trying to scare away the fish through the thunderous drums and the fierce dragon head in front of the boat.

In the early years of the Republic of China, the Dragon Boat Festival was also called "Poet's Day" because Qu Yuan was the first poet with personal prestige in China.

Today, people eat zongzi (originally used to feed fish) and race dragon boats to commemorate Qu's dramatic death.
