Tomb-sweeping Day dates back about 3,ooo year ago to honor a great man_Jizitui, and gradually becomes a day to honor ancestors. Traditonally, people go to the ancestors' grave to honor(like the picture)
To me, Tomb-sweeping Day means great food, Zouzi, and some intresting activities like kites and strings. Zouzi is usually made by rice with sweet jujube and wrapped by leaves. It tastes soft and sweet, a little bit like cakes. And wearing string means wearing a seven color string on hand wrist. People should throw it when the first rain after they wear. Then they'll be blessed happy and healthy in the whole year.
