About Qingming Festival: it is known as Tomb-Sweeping Day or Chinese Memorial Day in English, this is a traditional Chinese festival with a long history of more than 2500 years. It is a day remembering ancestors, cleaning and sweeping of graves, ancestor worship, offering food to deceased, burning joss paper. This is one of the most important and popular activities to show respect to our ancestors.
With social and economic change and development, this festival is still a traditional one for most people (including the Han Chinese and China’s 55 other ethnic minorities) to go and sweep tombs and commemorate ancestors. On May 20, 2006, the festival was listed as one of the first national intangible cultural heritage events.
