Tomb-Sweeping Day, also known as Qingming Festival, is a traditional Chinese festival that takes place on April 4th or 5th of each year. It is a time for people to pay respects to their ancestors by visiting their graves, cleaning the tombstones, and making offerings of food and other items. In recent years, Tomb-Sweeping Day has also become an occasion for people to enjoy outdoor activities and appreciate the beauty of nature.

The origins of Tomb-Sweeping Day can be traced back to over 2,500 years ago during the Spring and Autumn Period of ancient China. It was a time when people believed that the spirits of their ancestors would return to the world of the living. To honor their ancestors, people would clean the tombs, offer sacrifices, and hold ceremonies. Over time, these customs evolved into the modern-day Tomb-Sweeping Day.
