**Origins and Customs of Qingming Festival:**
The Qingming Festival, also known as Tomb-Sweeping Day or Tomb-Sweeping Day, is one of the traditional Chinese festivals. It usually falls between April 4th and April 6th of the Gregorian calendar, being one of the 24 solar terms.
**Origins:**
The origin of the Qingming Festival has various theories, among which the most widely accepted is that it originated from the ancient Cold Food Festival. The Cold Food Festival was an ancient Chinese festival to commemorate the loyalty and wisdom of Jinfu. It was said that Jinfu was saved by his loyal subject Jiezi during his escape. To commemorate Jiezi's loyalty, Jinfu ordered the day of Jiezi's death to be a day without fire, only eating cold food, which became the Cold Food Festival. Over time, the Cold Food Festival gradually merged with the Qingming Festival, becoming today's Qingming Festival.
**Customs:**
1. **Tomb Sweeping**: The most important activity of the Qingming Festival is tomb sweeping, where people visit their ancestors' graves to clean them and offer flowers, food, and other items to express their respect and remembrance.
2. **Treading the Green**: As it falls in spring, people go out for nature walks to appreciate the beauty of the season and enjoy outdoor activities.
3. **Flying Kites**: During the Qingming Festival, people also fly kites, symbolizing hope and blessings.
4. **Eating Green Dumplings**: Green dumplings are a traditional food made from glutinous rice flour and green grass juice (such as mugwort juice), which is consumed during the Qingming Festival.
**Folklore Stories:**
1. **Jiezi Saving Jinfu**: This is the most famous legend associated with the Qingming Festival, as described above.
