Therefore, China has the habit of planting trees in Qingming since ancient times. Some people even call Tomb-Sweeping Day Arbor Day, and the custom of planting trees has been passed down to this day. Going for an outing is also called a spring outing. In ancient times, it was called spring exploration. Wan Li is clear in March, and spring returns to the earth.

Flying kites is also the most popular activity in Tomb-Sweeping Day. During their stay in Tomb-Sweeping Day, people not only released them during the day, but also released them at night.
