万物生长此时，皆清洁而明净，故谓之清明。清明节滋润了传统，也记住了乡愁。邀上亲人朋友，赏花踏青，亲近自然吧！
Hi, everybody,check out my willow wreath.
Isn't it beautiful?
I made it when I was out hiking with my Chinese friends.
For two days in a row, there is a special festival called Tomb-sweeping Day or Qingming.
It is a statutory holiday and it is the only statutory holiday of the traditional 24 solar terms.
Today I want to talk to you about Qingming Festival.
During this period, the weather turns warmer and sometimes drizzly, and all of the plants start germinating.
The Qingming observance originated way back in ancient China.
Chinese people use this traditional holiday to give thanks to their ancestors, to cherish the memory of departed relatives, to cultivate filial piety, and to reconnect with family members.
Besides demonstrating respect to their ancestors, people also take this opportunity to travel together and go on long walks in parks and in the outskirts of the city.
