Answer 1

【答案】Dear David，

I'm glad that you're interested in the Chinese Qingming Festival.

Qingming Festival, also called TombSweeping Day, falls on April 4 or April 5. It has been celebrated in China for centuries. It is a seasonal symbol indicating sowing time. It is also a time of many activities, among which the main one is tomb sweeping. On this day people will remember family members by cleaning their tombs and paying respect with offerings. Schools will organize students to sweep tombs for revolutionary martyrs. Besides, people will wear willow branches and eat eggs to keep ghosts away.

Not only is it a day for commemorating the dead, but it is also a fine time to appreciate the beautiful scenes of nature. So would you like to go for a spring outing with me during the Qingming Festival holidays?

Yours，

Li Hua
