It is April 4th in Tomb-Sweeping Day this year. Every year is usually on April 5, but it also falls on April 4 or 6. The 24 solar terms are a reflection of Heliocentrism, which is determined by the solar calendar and the position of the earth when it revolves around the sun. One revolution of the earth around the sun is 360 degrees of the yellow meridian, and when the earth reaches zero degrees of the yellow meridian, it is designated as the vernal equinox, and then there is a solar term every time it runs 15 degrees, and * * * has 24 solar terms.

Tomb-Sweeping Day is one of the 24 solar terms around April 5th in the Gregorian calendar. Among the 24 solar terms, Qingming is the only solar term that is both a solar term and a festival.
