Ching Ming Festival This week we three days off for the Ching Ming Festival.We all came home to stay with family.When I was a little girl,I would be happy when Ching Ming Festival is coming,not because this is a festival for our relatives who are dead but we can have something to eat and can meet my uncle and aunt who came home outsides.It was a sweet experience for me. To foreign friend,they never imagine this China's trational festival.Here is a introduction of this festival: 清明节的习俗是丰富有趣的,除了讲究禁火、扫墓,还有踏青、荡秋千、清明节扫墓 踢蹴鞠、打马球、插柳等一系列风俗体育活动。相传 这是因为寒食节要寒食禁火,为了防止寒食冷餐伤身,所以大家来参加一些体育活动,以锻炼身体。清明节,民间忌使针,忌洗衣,大部分地区妇女忌行路。傍晚以前,要在大门前洒一条灰线,据说可以阻止鬼魂进宅。 因此,这个节日中既有祭扫新坟生离死别的悲酸泪,又有踏青游玩的欢笑声,是一个富有特色的节日。 Hope you all that are interested in Chinese culture can learn about it.

I do have ching ming in Indonesia too. All Chinese have it. You are right, I was so happy too because my family gathered together yesterday. We had a lot of foods after praying in our ancestors' graves. I'm waiting for ching ming every year.
