◎Qingming:
my country’s traditional Qingming Festival began around the Zhou Dynasty and has a history of more than 2,500 years. Qingming is a very important solar term at the beginning. When Qingming arrives, the temperature rises, which is a good time for spring plowing and spring planting. Therefore, there is a saying "Before and after Qingming, plant melons and beans." There is a farmer's proverb: "Afforestation is better than Qingming Festival". Later, because the days of Qingming and Hanshi were close, and Hanshi was a day when folk people banned fire and visited graves, gradually, Hanshi and Qingming became one, and Hanshi became not only another name for Qingming, but also a custom during Qingming. On the Qingming Festival, there will be no fireworks and only cold food.
