Today is the Qing Ming holiday in China. Literally translated as Clear Brightness Festival, it is more descriptively known as Tomb Sweeping Day, when one honors one’s ancestors often by visiting and cleaning up their tombs.
The famous Chinese poet Du Mu wrote a poem called Qingming:
| In the endless rain of the Qing Ming season, a traveler seeks to lift his spirits. Where can I find a tavern he asks a shepherd, who points to apricot blossom village in the distance.
