Nation welcomes the 'clear and bright' fine days of Qingming
With the approach of Qingming, one of 24 solar terms, which means "clear and bright", the icy grip of winter has loosened. Warmth is spreading with the blow of gentle breeze. The country is brimming with blossoms and green grass, vivid and lively. It is now an apt time to go for a spring outing.
It is a time-honored custom to take a spring outing during Qingming. In the past, the people of China believed that after sheltering indoors during winter, both body and heart need to be refreshed by the embrace of spring, and a walk close to nature would be beneficial for their health. Just as one ancient scholar said, "It is a fine day the Qingming day. You may enjoy yourself outside but do not forget to go back."
Spring is in full bloom nationwide. From the blossoms and green willow in South China to the new flowers after the snow in Heilongjiang province and the spring train winding through a profusion of flowers at the foot of the Great Wall at Juyongguan, these scenes create a magnificent portrait of a beautiful China. They capture the diverse charms of the country and the vigorous energy of spring around Qingming.
