Frequently Asked Questions
Qing Ming is All Souls’ Day for the Chinese. It is a time to remember the departed and to pay respects to one’s deceased ancestors and family members. As it emphasises filial piety, Qing Ming is a major Chinese festival with many Chinese visiting the cemeteries of relatives.
During Qing Ming , you should avoid wearing bright colors (especially red), laughing loudly, making jokes, or taking selfies at gravesites to show respect for ancestors; also, refrain from stepping on graves, moving offerings prematurely, buying shoes, or hosting celebrations, as it’s a solemn time for remembrance, not festivity, with recommendations to finish tomb visits by late afternoon and avoid spiritual “weak” individuals like young children or pregnant women from attending.
The gift that cannot be given during the Qing Ming festival is a clock or watch. The reason is based on a linguistic taboo, the Mandarin phrase for “giving a clock” is sòng zhōng (送钟), which sounds exactly like sòng zhōng (送终), meaning “to attend a funeral rite” or “to care for a dying elderly person”. Offering a timepiece is therefore highly displeasing, as it implies a wish for the recipient’s life to end. So instead of gifting the clock or a watch, instead sell it to the recipient for a dollar to prevent this taboo.
The Qing Ming Festival, literally meaning Pure Brightness Festival, takes place on the fifteenth day after the spring equinox. As a holiday devoted to remembering and honoring the deceased, people sweep and decorate gravesites, burn incense.
Filial piety and ancestral worship are emphasised during Qing Ming. Visiting cemeteries and columbaria with food and other offerings for deceased relatives marks this important period of remembrance.
The Qingming Festival is both solemn and joyous, combining aspects of sadness and happiness. It is a day for honoring deceased ancestors with respect and remembrance, while also celebrating the renewal of spring and the continuity of family life.
Praying to the ancestors in Qing Ming Festival is not only to cherish the memory of the ancestors, but also to share with the next generations the kindness of the ancestors. From ancient times to the present, the Chinese have never stopped respecting and remembering their ancestors.
