Vision Z｜24 Solar Terms: Clear and Bright

Clear and Bright, not only a solar term, but also an important traditional Chinese festival, which was listed as a national intangible cultural heritage in 2006. Qingming Festival or Tomb-Sweeping Day has a unique charm that distinguishes it from ordinary solar terms, with its rich and colorful folk activities. There are various recreational activities, such as tomb-sweeping, spring outings and kite flying. These activities not only enrich people's spiritual lives but also deepen their understanding of traditional culture. In the regions of the provinces of Jiangsu and Zhejiang, there is also the custom of eating Qingtuan, which is a kind of round green cake.
