Every year around April 5th is the Qingming Festival. It’s a traditional Chinese festival, and also an important solar term. Its origins go back more than 2500 years.
Nowadays, the Qingming festival is a three-day public holiday.
By the time of the festival, temperatures are getting warmer and rainfalls are increasing.
For this festival, Chinese people’s main traditions are to eat cold food; sweep the graves, commemorating dead relatives; do outdoor activities such as flying kites and going on spring outings, and so on.
