What day is the 2020 Ching Ming Festival?

April 4, 2020. Qingming Festival is an important traditional festival in China, whose connotation is to promote filial piety and affection, remember the past, and honor ancestors. In the midst of China's prevalence of foreign festivals, the Qingming Festival has been increasingly marginalized, with its traditional customs and practices unknown both at home and abroad. The translation of Qingming Festival has become an indispensable theme for the development of the times. Qingming Festival is one of the four major traditional festivals in China, and was listed in the first batch of national intangible cultural heritage list in 2006, together with Dragon Boat Festival, Spring Festival and Mid-Autumn Festival [1]. Every year on Qingming Festival, people follow the traditional customs to pay tribute to ancestors and honor martyrs; in addition, they also plant willow, fly kites, hike and go out for excursions, and so on. Qingming Festival food is also a lot of good food, such as deep-fried seeds, jujube in Flying Swallow and so on. Ancient literati left a large number of poems and songs about Qingming Festival that have been recited through the ages, such as "Qingming" and "The First Rain of Spring in Lin'an". However, the Qingming Festival is not well known internationally, so it can be seen that the research on the translation of Qingming Festival's foreign propaganda is a top priority for the development of the times.
