Event Preview | Painting the Qingming Festival with Five Grains—Passing Down Cultural Heritage Through Fingertips

Qingming is not only one of the Twenty-Four Solar Terms but also an important traditional festival of the Chinese nation, embodying both the cultural traditions of tomb-sweeping and ancestral rites, as well as spring outings and the planting of willow branches. As a local cultural landmark in Fuzhou, the Tang Xianzu Memorial Hall has taken this event as an opportunity to integrate the culture of the traditional solar term, the intangible cultural heritage of five-grain painting, and the legacy of Tang Xianzu, thereby enriching the museum’s cultural‑tourism experience. Visitors can follow a template and use grains and cereals of various colors to create their own unique artworks—depicting scenes such as a shepherd boy riding an ox, swallows among willow branches, or the word “Qingming.”
