Qingming Festival

The Qingming Festival is a Chinese holiday that celebrates honoring the memories of our family ancestors. It's sometimes called Tomb Sweeping Day because people spend the day visiting gravesites, sweeping and cleaning the tombstones and making offerings to the deceased. During this day people also spend time outdoors enjoying the spring weather and eating food that reminds them of their ancestors. Qingming is a day to remember our family and show our love for them.
