1, the origin of Tomb-Sweeping Day
It is said that it began with the "tomb sacrifice" ceremony of ancient emperors and generals, and later people followed suit and became a fixed custom of the Chinese nation to worship ancestors and sweep graves on this day. Originally, the Cold Food Festival and Tomb-Sweeping Day were two different festivals. In the Tang Dynasty, the day of sweeping graves was designated as the Cold Food Festival. The correct date of the Cold Food Festival is from winter to the future 105, around Tomb-Sweeping Day. Because the two dates are similar, Tomb-Sweeping Day and Cold Food Festival are merged into one day, which falls on April 4-6 in the solar calendar every year.
