Qingming in literati's works

I often heard the doorbell ring after you left.

Echoing each other from afar, Qingming has arrived.

Spring has come to your hometown again.

-Zhang Muyu's Tomb-Sweeping Day

Qingming, the tombstone woke up again,

They will die again.

-Huo Mingjun's Qingming Festival

Pick a flower, plant a tree,

Fly a kite and look up at the flowing clouds.

Just today,

Our souls can meet all our relatives in the sky.

-Yu Dan's Qingming, Love in Blood

Spring is coming, flowers are in full bloom,

The begonia flowers in the West Flower Hall are blooming again.

The owner of the flower has left,

I have been away for 12 years,

Left us and he never came back.

-Deng "Begonia Flower Festival"

We live in the noise of that city all the year round,

In a small house with a history of one hundred years,

Once I came to the countryside and fields, I felt very fresh.

I feel very fast and comfortable, as if I were traveling around the world.

Therefore, we regard tomb sweeping in Qingming as a supreme enjoyment.
