A well—known poem by the Tang Dynasty's poet
Du Mu tells a sad scene in early April, Rain falls heavily as Qingming comes,
and passersby with low spirits go." This scene takes place on Tomb Sweeping Day,
also known as the Qingming Festival. Tomb Sweeping Day is a traditional Chinese
festival. It began in the Zhou Dynasty, over 2,500 years ago Chinese people celebrate
it to remember and honor their ancestors(祖先). This year, it falls on
April 4. Tomb Sweeping Day became a public holiday on the Chinese mainland in
2008. People have one day off for that day. On this day, families bring flowers, food
and wine to the gravesites(墓地) of their ancestors. They place cakes,
fruit in front of the graves and some may burn joss paper, as money for the
dead. After that, they sweep the tombs and cherish(怀念)
the memories of their dead family membersTomb
