Qingming, meaning clear and bright, is the most important festival in spring. It is also called the Tomb-Sweeping Festival. It comes in early April. On that day, people visit tombs to honor the dead (纪念死者). They always spend some time cleaning the tomb area. They usually plant some trees near the tombs and decorate them with fresh flowers. But it is not just a day for honoring the dead. It is also a good time to celebrate the coming of spring.
With the coming of spring, nature wakes up, dressing the world in green. All is new, clean and fresh. Birds begin to build houses for their babies. In forests and fields, many animals have babies at this time of year. The day begins to get longer and the weather gets warmer. In short, everything is new, clean and fresh. So Qingming is also a happy time for people to enjoy the outdoor activities, such as flying kites, swinging and hiking. This is why this festival has been very popular for thousands of years.
