Qingming Festival (清明节/清明節), also known as Tomb-Sweeping Day, is both a solar term and a traditional festival. It is a time to honor ancestors and deceased family members.
Families visit the graves of their ancestors, clean tombstones, offer food and incense, and burn joss paper. It is also a time for spring outings (踏青) and flying kites.
