Ｔhe Tomb Sweeping Day is on the fifth of April according to the lunar calendar every year. On that day, I usually pay respects to my ancestors and to tidy their gravesite.
On this day, whole families, young and old, go to the gravesite of deceased family members to burn incense and perform a ritual offering while clearing away plant overgrowth from the gravesite.
Sometimes I taking a spring outing, flying kites. Some other lost customs like wearing willow branches on the head and riding on swings have added infinite joy in past days. The festival is a combination of sadness and happiness, perhaps bittersweet.
