Something about The TomB-sweeping Day:
Tomorrow(4 April) is Tomb-sweeping Day, called Qing Ming Festival in Chinese, is one of the few traditional Chinese holidays that follows the solar calendar-- typically falling In April. Its Chinese name "Qing Ming" literally means "Clear Brightness," hinting at its importance as a celebration of Spring.
On that day, Chinese visit their family graves to tend to any underbrush that has grown. Weeds are pulled, and dirt swept away, and the family will set out offerings of food and spirit money. With the passing of time, nowadays many people go to clean the surroundings of the tombs of their ancestors or relatives, burn incense and candles, and present flowers,fruit and some other sacrifice to their dearly departed in the cemetery.
From that date temperatures begin to rise and rainfall increases, indicating that it is the crucial time for plowing and sowing in the spring. Qingming Festival therefore has a close relationship with agriculture. However, it is not only a seasonal symbol; it is also a festival of paying respect to the dead, a spring outing, and other activities.
