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 a day for paying respect to ancestors.
The holiday originates from the legend of the acts of Jie Zitui (770 - 476 BC).
Legend says that Jie cut a piece of meat from his leg and gave it to his lord to save his life during exile. When the lord returned 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 died. Heartbroken, the lord established the day of Jie's death as the Hanshi (Cold Food) Festival. The following year the lord went to the mountain again and found the willow trees revived. He instructed that the day after the Hanshi Festival was called Qingming Festival. In time, the two festivals became one.
