Brief Introduction
Qingming Festival, also known as Pure
Brightness Festival or Tomb-sweeping Day, is one
of the 24 segments of the Chinese calendar.
Qing Ming is a time to remember the dead and
the dearly departed. More important, it is a
period to honour and to pay respect to one's
deceased ancestors and family members.

Origin
The Tomb-Sweeping Day originated from
Hanshi Day (???), a memorial day for Jie Zitui
(???),who died in 636 BC in the Spring and Autumn
Period.
It is said that Jie saved the starving Duke Wen
of Jin(???)s life by serving a piece of his own
leg. However, When the Wen succeeded in
becoming the ruler, Jie declined his invitation,
preferring to lead a hermit's life with his
mother in the mountains.

the dead, is it also a festival for people to
enjoy themselves.

The major custom in Qingming Festival is
tomb sweeping. People will set out offerings of
food and paper money to their ancestors.

tree, the willow is believed to have powers
against evil.
