Qingming, a traditional Chinese solar term, arrives around April 4th or 5th. It's a time when nature wakes up from slumber. The world is painted in fresh greens and colorful blossoms. People not only engage in tomb - sweeping, a solemn ritual to honor ancestors, but also embrace the beauty of spring.

Families head to cemeteries, placing flowers and offering sacrifices, expressing their deep - seated respect and remembrance. Meanwhile, outdoor activities like flying kites and having spring outings are popular. Kites soar high in the sky, carrying people's hopes and sorrows. Qingming thus combines the solemnity of mourning with the joy of welcoming the new life of spring, making it a unique and meaningful occasion.
