About this holiday
Tomb-Sweeping Day (Qingming Festival) is a traditional festival celebrated by Chinese communities. Falling on the first day of the fifth solar term (typically April 4-6), families visit ancestral tombs to clean gravesites and make ritual offerings, which include food and burning joss sticks and paper.
