Clear and bright, the solar term between mid-spring and late spring, derives its name from the clear and bright atmosphere that unveils the natural beauty of the world.

During this period, peach blossoms start to bloom, vegetation awakens, and all living things are refreshed.

Customs of Clear and bright

• Outing

During Clear and bright, a time in the burgeoning spring, it has long been a tradition to go hiking and bask in the exquisite beauty of nature. This practice, known as “Taqing” or “Spring Outing”, was also called “Tanchun” or “Xunchun” back in ancient times.

• Tomb Sweeping

Clear and bright is a time for people to pay homage to their ancestors and express their filial piety and nostalgia. This tradition embodies the deep reverence we hold for our ancestors and underscores the importance of cherishing our cultural heritage."
