Is it time to worship ancestors or travel during Qingming Festival?

Would it be better to worship ancestors or travel during the Qingming Festival? Parents and children have different ideas. Looking through ancient books and tracing the past, history gives the answer.

In the beginning, Qingming was just one of the twenty-four solar terms. "Huainanzi Tianwen Xun" in the Western Han Dynasty said: "On the fifteenth day after the spring equinox, when the two fingers are fighting, the Qingming wind will arrive." In the Spring and Autumn Period, in order to commemorate the famous Shanxi scholar Jie Zitui, the Cold Food Festival was born, and it was formed in the Tang Dynasty. The custom of sweeping graves. After the Song, Yuan, Ming and Qing dynasties, it gradually replaced the Cold Food Festival. In the Tang Dynasty, tomb-sweeping was also accompanied by outings and other customs. After continuous development and evolution, Qingming Festival gradually became a festival integrating tomb-sweeping, outings, tree planting and other customs. It can be seen that Qingming Festival is not only a day for tomb sweeping, but also a day for outing.

Throughout history, the Chinese nation itself is a nation that respects its ancestors and elders. Tomb-Sweeping Day has become a festival for people to worship their ancestors and remember their ancestors, and it is also a link for the Chinese nation to recognize their ancestors and return to their clan. The two different themes of ancestor worship and travel during the Qingming Festival slowly merge into one. They are constantly given new cultural significance and are also a manifestation of social progress. During the Qingming Festival, while we are remembering our ancestors, wouldn't it be nice to go out in the bright sunshine in search of spring?
