Qingming

Qingming is for Chinese people something like All Souls Day in Europe, the day when people visit the graves of their ancestors and leave offerings. It was celebrated Tuesday.

Qingming was suppressed during the Cultural Revolution, but since Mao's death it is has gradually been returning to prominence, and it was made a national holiday again in China in 2008.
