The Quingming Festival, Tomb-sweeping Day or the Pure Brightness Festival occurs each year in early April and is a public holiday in most Asian nations historically tied to China.
The festival signals the beginning of the planting season and is used as a day for paying respect to ancestors.
The holiday originates from legend of the acts of Jie Zitui (770 - 476 BC).
Legend says that Jie cut a piece of meat from his own leg and gave it to his lord to save his life during a time of exile. When the lord came back to power, he initially forgot about Jie, but later found and rewarded him. Jie however, sequestered himself and his mother within a mountain. To find Jie, the lord set the mountain on fire, only to find Jie and his mother dead. Heartbroken, the lord established the day of Jie's death as the Hanshi (Cold Food) Festival. On the next year the lord went to the mountain again and found a the willow trees revived. He gave instructions that the day after Hanshi Festival was to be called Qingming Festival. In time, the two festivals became one.
