Since the Qin Dynasty, China has always regarded beginning of spring as the beginning of spring. Beginning of spring is divided from astronomy, but in nature and people's minds, spring is warm and flowers are fragrant. Spring is growth, cultivation and sowing. In climatology, spring refers to the period when the average temperature is between 10℃ and 22℃.

In Tomb-Sweeping Day, at the turn of mid-spring and late spring, that is, from winter to the next day 108, the solar terms are set according to the tropical year of the sun. The traditional Tomb-Sweeping Day of the Han nationality in China began in the Zhou Dynasty and has a history of more than 2,500 years.

"Almanac": "On the fifteenth day after the vernal equinox, the bucket refers to Ding, which is used for Qingming, when everything is clean and bright, and when it is covered, everything is clean and bright, hence the name." As soon as Qingming comes, the temperature rises, which is a good time for spring ploughing and sowing, so there is a saying that "before and after Qingming, we plant melons and beans". Tomb-Sweeping Day is a festival to worship ancestors, and the traditional activity is to sweep graves.
