Qing Ming Festival

Qing Ming Festival, also called Tomb Sweeping Day or Pure Brightness in English, usually falls on April 4 or 5. Qingming (清明) is the second of 24 solar terms on the traditional Chinese solar calendar. It is also a time for people to go outside and start enjoying the greenery of spring.

Qingming Festival is a traditional Chinese festival and an important day of sacrifice for most people (including the Han Chinese and China's 55 other ethnic minorities) to go and sweep tombs and commemorate their ancestors. On this day, tomb sweeping is one of the most important and popular activities to show respect to ancestors.

Qing Ming, or in my family traditions called Ceng Beng, is time when we commemorate our anchestor. We did it at home, with pray and offer food and drink to the anchestor.

and many-many more.

It happens every year, and the festival starts from the end of March until April 5th which is my birthday. We usually pick the last Sunday to do the tradition.
