According to the lunar calendar, Thanh Minh Festival, also known as Thanh Minh Festival in 2024, falls on Thursday, April 4th, or February 26th of the lunar calendar.
Thanh Minh Festival is one of the important traditional holidays of Vietnamese people, demonstrating the "Drinking water, remember its source" philosophy, remembering and expressing respect to ancestors.
According to the concept of many Eastern countries, Thanh Minh Festival is one of the 24 solar terms of a year, the 5th solar term, starting 45 days after the beginning of spring and 105 days after the winter solstice. Thanh Minh Festival will last for about 15-16 days. Thanh Minh Festival is the first day of this solar term.
Thanh means clear air, minh means bright. Thanh Minh means the time when the weather is cool and clear. In Northern Vietnam, this is the time when the drizzle and humidity have stopped, the weather becomes clear and pleasant.
The Qingming Festival does not have a fixed date, it starts from April 4-5 (after the end of the Spring Equinox) and ends around April 20-21 (when the Guwu Festival begins). The Qingming Festival lasts about 15-16 days, and the first day is called Qingming Festival.
Although Thanh Minh is not a big festival, it is closely associated with the morality and duty of Vietnamese people. It is the duty of descendants to remember the merits of their ancestors and those who came before them. This is the day for everyone to show their gratitude and repay their ancestors for giving birth and creating.
On Qingming Festival, people often visit the graves of their grandparents and ancestors, showing their respect and gratitude to previous generations. In addition, Qingming Festival is also an occasion for families to reunite, gather together, and enjoy family meals.
