The Qingming Festival (also known as: Tomb-Sweeping Day) is the most important festival of worship in China, and is celebrated around April 5 on the Gregorian calendar. Since ancient times, Chinese people have had the concept of honoring their ancestors and being cautious of the end of life, so the tradition of spring festival was gradually formed during the Qingming Festival.

Every year when the Qingming Festival comes, many places will hold a variety of commemorative activities in different forms to remember the revolutionary forefathers and commemorate the heroes of the battle. There are folk customs such as trekking and picnicking, sweeping tombs and paying homage to ancestors. The Qingming Festival, together with the Spring Festival, Dragon Boat Festival and Mid-Autumn Festival, is known as the four major traditional festivals in China.

Besides China, there are some countries and regions in the world that also celebrate Qingming Festival, such as Vietnam, South Korea, Malaysia, Singapore, etc. On May 20, 2006, the Ministry of Culture of the People's Republic of China*** and the country declared the Qingming Festival to be included in the first batch of national intangible cultural heritage list approved by the State Council.
