Extended data:

Tomb-Sweeping Day began around the Zhou Dynasty. According to legend, astronomers in the Zhou Dynasty used the method of "returning to the earth" to determine the solar terms, and Qingming is one of them. Later, Jin Wengong and Zhong Er designated the first three days of Tomb-Sweeping Day as the Cold Food Festival to commemorate the loyal minister Jiexiu. Due to the proximity between Tomb-Sweeping Day and the Cold Food Festival, Qingming gradually merged into the custom of offering sacrifices to ancestors with cold food, and then gradually developed into today's Tomb-Sweeping Day.
