Qingming Festival

Ceremony Honors Chinese Ancestor: April 5, the date of the tomb-sweeping, or Qingming Festival, is a traditional day for Chinese to pay homage to their ancestors and late relatives and to sweep their graves. Every year a grand ceremony at the mausoleum in Huangling, Shaanxi Province, honors the Yellow Emperor, the legendary ancestor of the nation.
