China's traditional Qingming Festival began in the Zhou Dynasty and has a history of more than 2,500 years. In ancient times, it was not as important as the previous day's cold food festival, because the dates of the Qingming and cold food festivals were close, and the folk gradually merged the customs of the two, and in the Sui and Tang dynasties (581 to 907), the Qingming Festival and the cold food festival gradually merged into the same festival, becoming the day of tomb sweeping and ancestor worship, that is, today's Qingming Festival.

The Qingming Festival has a long history, originating from the spring festival activities in ancient times, and the spring and autumn festivals have existed in ancient times. According to the research results of modern anthropology and archaeology, the two most primitive beliefs of human beings are the belief in heaven and earth, and the belief in ancestors. The belief of "respecting heaven and ancestors" has continued since ancient times, and the custom of worshipping ancestors has been passed down from generation to generation, and it has become a fixed custom of the Qingming Festival.

The name of the Qingming Festival is related to the characteristics of the weather at this time. In the Western Han Dynasty's "Huainanzi Tianwenxun", it is said: "On the fifteenth day after the spring equinox, Dou Zhi B, then the Qingming wind arrives."

"Hundred Questions at the Age of the Year" says, "All things grow at this time, they are clean and clear." Therefore, it is called Qingming. Although Qingming as a festival was only formed in the Tang Dynasty, the Qingming solar term as a time sequence symbol has long been recognized by the ancients, and it has been clearly recorded in the Han Dynasty.

The Qingming Festival integrates the solar terms and folk festivals, which is the unity of time and time, and the traditional concept of "the unity of heaven and man" is fully embodied in the Qingming ritual culture. Through historical development and evolution, the Qingming Festival absorbs and integrates the customs of the Cold Food Festival and the Shangsi Festival, and blends a variety of folk customs as a whole, which has extremely rich cultural connotations.

Qingming Festival, originated from the ancient Shangsi Festival and the Cold Food Festival, is the festival of spring. The god of Qingming, that is, the green god (Eastern Emperor Qingshen), that is, the god of spring in the ancient Chinese god system.

In ancient times, the festival was held on the eighth day of the third month of the summer calendar. In ancient times, China sacrificed to the god of high media in this festival, and held spring activities such as walking and purifying (bathing in the river), and its custom has a very long history.
