During the Qingming Festival

Qingming Festival, also known as the Spring Outing Festival, the Purification Festival, the Third Month Festival, or the Ancestral Worship Festival, falls at the juncture of mid-spring and late spring. Rooted in ancient ancestral beliefs and spring ritual practices, Qingming is one of the most solemn and grand ancestral‑veneration festivals of the Chinese nation.

During the Qingming season, the rain falls in endless showers.

At this time of year, vitality is at its peak, and all things “shed the old and welcome the new,” while the earth displays the serene beauty of spring—making it an ideal season for spring outings in the countryside and for visiting ancestral graves to offer sacrifices. The Qingming Festival commemorating ancestors has a rather long period: some reckon it spans ten days before and eight days after Qingming, while others include ten days before and ten days after; in either case, the entire span of nearly twenty days falls within the Qingming ritual season.

Customs of the Qingming Festival

During the Qingming season, rain falls in endless showers; on the road, travelers’ hearts are nearly broken.

May I ask where the tavern lies? A shepherd boy, from afar, points to Xinghua Village.

Qingming · Tomb-sweeping and ancestor worship

Qingming Festival is the most solemn and grand ancestral‑veneration holiday of the Chinese nation, a traditional cultural observance that honors one’s ancestors and reflects on the past with reverence. It embodies the spirit of the nation, carries forward the sacrificial traditions of Chinese civilization, and expresses people’s moral sentiments of respecting their forebears, honoring their lineage, and carrying forward their aspirations and legacy.

Qingming · Spring outing

Taqing, also called a spring outing, was historically known as tanchun or xunchun (literally “exploring spring” or “seeking spring”). In April, around the Qingming Festival, spring returns to the land and nature is everywhere full of vitality, making it the perfect time for countryside excursions. In China, the folk custom of going out for Taqing during Qingming has been preserved for generations.

Qingming · Cuju

Jū is a type of leather ball, with a leather exterior and a tightly stuffed wool core. Cùjū refers to the act of kicking the ball with one’s feet. It was a popular game enjoyed by people during the Qingming Festival in ancient times. Legend has it that it was invented by the Yellow Emperor, originally intended as a means of training warriors.
