CCTV News: Qingming is the fifth solar term among the twenty-four solar terms. Below, we walk into the land of China with spring and scenery and feel the natural beauty and humanistic connotation of Qingming.
"All things grow at this time, they are clean and clear, so they are called Qingming." At this time, the water vapor is clear and the cauliflower is yellow, and the willows are like smoke again. People go out for a walk, fly kites, fold willows, wear willows, and enjoy the spring.
Sweeping tombs and worshiping ancestors, and pursuing the distance are important activities in the Qingming Festival. The apricot blossoms pay homage to their relatives in the drizzle, the pines and cypresses commemorate the heroes in the lush green, and the spirit of the deceased and the remembrance of the living are intertwined in the spring.
"Around the Qingming Festival, plant melons and beans." There is a busy scene of spring plowing in the north and south of the Yangtze River. Wheat in the north enters the jointing period, and spring sowing crops such as corn begin to be planted; early rice in the south enters the critical period of seedling cultivation.
