Qingming is a special day, not only a solar term but also an important festival. It is unique among the twenty-four solar terms. According to "Suishi Baiwen" (A Hundred Questions about the Seasons), "All things grow at this time, all clean and bright, hence the name Qingming." The Qingming Festival falls at the juncture of mid-spring and late spring, when all things in nature grow vigorously, and the world is clear and clean. After Qingming, the temperature continues to rise, and rainfall becomes more abundant, making it an excellent time for spring sowing. Hence the proverb, "Plant melons and beans around Qingming." During the Qingming Festival, winter has passed, spring is in full swing, the weather is clear, and the countryside is bright and clean. Nature is full of vitality.
