On Qingming Day, the solar calendar is basically fixed. The lunar calendar is uncertain, mostly in early March, but also at the end of February. Generally speaking, Qingming is in February, and the solar terms are early, which is more conducive to agricultural production; Qingming is in March, and the solar term is late, so the farming season will be affected.

Qingming is one of the 24 solar terms in China. Because the 24 solar terms objectively reflect the changes of temperature, rainfall and phenology in a year, ancient working people used them to arrange agricultural activities. As soon as Qingming comes, the temperature rise is the best time to plant crops, so there is a saying that before and after Qingming, it is better to order melons, plant beans and plant trees. It can be seen that Tomb-Sweeping Day is a very important day for farmers, and farmers can make their own planting plans according to this solar term.
