What does Qingming Festival mean?

Qingming Festival is a traditional Chinese folk festival and one of the important “Eight Annual Festivals” in China (Lantern Festival, Qingming Festival, Beginning of Summer, Dragon Boat Festival, Zhongyuan Festival, Mid-Autumn Festival, Winter Solstice and New Year’s Eve). It is usually around April 5th of the Gregorian calendar. The festival period is very long. There are two sayings: 8 days before and 10 days after the 10th day of the 10th day, and these nearly 20 days are all Qingming Festival. Qingming Festival originally refers to the fifteenth day after the spring equinox. In 1935, the government of the Republic of China designated April 5 as a national holiday Qingming Festival, also known as the National Tomb-Sweeping Festival. Qingming is also one of the 24 solar terms in the lunar calendar. It is at the turn of mid-spring and late spring, which is the 108th day after the winter solstice. The solar terms are formulated according to the lunar calendar, which has no leap year.
