In a cozy coffee shop, I struck up a conversation with a foreigner who was new to our city. We chatted about various topics, and eventually, the conversation led to the traditional Chinese holiday, Qingming.

Curious about his knowledge of Chinese culture, I asked, "Do you know which day in April is Qingming?" His eyes widened with surprise, and he shook his head, indicating that he wasn't familiar with the holiday.
I explained that Qingming, also known as Tomb-Sweeping Day, is a time for honoring ancestors and paying respects to the departed. It falls on the 4th day of the 4th lunar month, which usually falls between April 4th and April 6th each year.
The foreigner listened intently, and I could see the spark of interest in his eyes. He asked, "Why is it called Qingming?" I replied that the word "Qingming" means "clear and bright," symbolizing the purity and clarity of the sky during this season.
We continued to discuss the customs of Qingming, such as sweeping tombs, offering food, and burning paper money to show respect for the deceased. The foreigner was fascinated by the rich history and cultural significance behind this holiday.
As our conversation drew to a close, I felt a sense of pride in sharing a piece of my heritage with someone from another culture. It was a reminder that cultural exchange can be a beautiful thing, and that every tradition has its own unique story to tell.
