What is Chinese Qingming Festival
The Qingming or Ching Ming Festival is a traditional Chinese festival celebrated on the first day of the fifth solar month. The Qingming Festival started over 2,500 years ago during the Zhou Dynasty. Emperors would offer sacrifices in honor of their ancestors in exchange for wealth, peace and good harvests for the country. In 732, Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty stated respect must be paid at ancestors’ graves. Over time, this developed into the tomb-sweeping tradition.
TYPICAL OBSERVANCES in the Chinese Qingming Festival
The most popular activity of the Qingming Festival is tomb sweeping, when family members honor their ancestors by visiting their tombs and offering food, tea, wine and incense. It is customary to sweep the tomb, remove all weeds and add fresh soil. Some also put willow branches on the tomb to protect the ancestor from evil spirits.
It is also traditional to wear willow branches and place them on gates and front doors to ward off evil spirits.
Kite flying is a common activity enjoyed by all, either in the day or in the evening. In the evening, lanterns are tied to the end of the kites.
Sweet green rice balls are one of the traditional foods eaten during the Qingming Festival. Other foods include peach blossom porridge, crispy cakes (called sazi or hanju), Qingming snails and eggs.
