< p>The name of Qingming Festival is related to the characteristics of the weather and conditions at this time. "Huainanzi Tianwen Xun" written in the Western Han Dynasty said: "On the fifteenth day after the spring equinox, when Dou Zhi Yi is on the second day, the Qingming wind will arrive." "Qingming wind" refers to the refreshing, clear and pure wind. "Hundred Questions of the Years" says that "all things growing at this time are clean and bright. Therefore, it is called Qingming." Although Qingming as a festival was only formed in the Tang Dynasty, the Qingming solar term as a time sequence mark has long been recognized by the ancients and has been in the Han Dynasty clearly documented.
