[Chinese] Pure Brightness Day; Pure Brightness Festival; Qingming Festival

The Pure Brightness Festival is one of the 24 seasonal division points in China. It falls in the third lunar month or April 4-6 in the solar calendar. It is the time when the Spring scene is bright and the air is clean – hence, its name. After the festival, the temperature will rise up and the rainfall increases.

It marks the time for Spring plowing and sowing. But the Pure Brightness Festival is not just a seasonal point to guide farm works, it is more of a festival to show people’s remembrance and respect for their ancestors and their love ones who passed away before them. It is the custom that Chinese people offer sacrifices to their ancestors and sweep the graves of the diseased.

At this day, families would go to the countryside to the graves. They sweep the graves, get rid of the weeds, add new earth and offer sacrifices. Swings, flying the kite, fighting the chicken, fighting the grass and so on are some of the traditional activities on this day.

There are some famous poets in Chinese history express the sadness, love, memory, and hope of Chinese people in this special day, resulting the Pure Brightness Festival to become one rich poetic sentiment holiday.

清明,是中國的二十四節氣之一,此時正是春光明媚,空氣潔淨的季節,因此,這個節日叫做「清明節」。

國曆四月五日清明日,相傳為黃帝誕辰,因距冬至日約一百零六天,故稱為「百六」。國民政府定都後,為慎終追遠和崇敬祖先,乃定清明節為「民族掃墓節」,又稱掃墓節、鬼節、冥節,與七月十五中元節及十月十五下元節合稱三冥節,都與祭祀鬼神有關。

2008年,中國大陸正式確立清明節為法定節假日。

  清明時節雨紛紛,
  路上行人欲斷魂。
  借問酒家何處有,
  牧童遙指杏花村。
   —— 唐 杜牧《清明》
