“When pear blossoms dance in the wind, Qingming comes with remembrance of the heroic souls”. The Qingming Festival is a traditional festival inherited by the Chinese nation for thousands of years. It carries the deep feelings of honoring the deceased and remembering ancestors, and is engraved with the spiritual code of remembering martyrs and guarding the homeland. In this clear and bright season, we mourn the deceased and sages, remember the revolutionary martyrs, and pay tribute to those heroes and heroines who, for the independence, freedom, peace, happiness and prosperity of the Chinese nation, fought one after another and gave their lives for righteousness, so that the spirit of the martyrs will be passed on forever and the feelings of family and country will forge ahead.

 The Qingming Festival originated in the Zhou Dynasty, with a history of more than 2,500 years. It is not only one of the 24 solar terms, having the seasonal significance of spring plowing and spring sowing, but also a traditional festival integrating the customs of the Cold Food Festival and the Shangsi Festival. The Cold Food Festival originated from commemorating the loyal minister Jie Zitui, with fires forbidden and cold food eaten to express sorrow; the Shangsi Festival involves spring outings to pray for blessings and renew vitality. After years of evolution, Qingming gradually formed the core customs of ancestor worship and grave sweeping and remembering ancestors, becoming an important carrier for the Chinese nation to feel ancestral grace and inherit filial piety. It has also been endowed with the profound connotation of remembering martyrs and guarding the homeland, and is a spiritual inheritance engraved in the blood of the descendants of Yan and Huang.

 Mourning the deceased, sages and martyrs at Qingming has unique folk rituals that are both warm and respectful. In traditional customs, people sweep graves, add soil, offer fresh flowers, clean the cemetery and wipe tombstones, and remember the deceased with a clean ritual. Discarding the old custom of burning incense and paper, today people advocate civilized methods such as flower tributes, silent mourning, and reading eulogies to express boundless sorrow. At the same time, spring outings, inserting willow branches, remembering and praying allow people to understand the meaning of life in remembrance and inherit the great righteousness of family and country in remembrance, making the memorial ceremony not only warm but also full of spiritual strength.

For thousands of years, the Chinese nation has weathered storms, and countless people with lofty ideals and revolutionary martyrs have shed their heads and blood for national independence, driving out invaders and restoring China, for the liberation of the people and the construction of new China, forging the backbone of the nation with their lives. From Yue Fei, who was loyal to the country, and Wen Tianxiang, who would rather die than surrender, to Deng Shichang, who died heroically in the Sino-Japanese War at sea; from Yang Jingyu on the anti-Japanese battlefield who chewed cotton and bark and fought to the death, and the Five Heroes of Langya Mountain who would rather die than surrender and leapt off the cliff, to countless martyrs such as Huang Jiguang and Qiu Shaoyun in the War of Liberation and the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea, they built a Great Wall with their flesh and blood and exchanged their youth and lives for the peace of the mountains and rivers and the stability of the country. They are the backbone of the nation and national heroes who will always be remembered.

Mourning the deceased, sages and martyrs at Qingming is by no means a simple ritual remembrance, but also has profound historical significance. This is a spiritual baptism that lets us remember the nation's bitter history and cherish the hard-won peaceful life of today; this is a return to the original aspiration that lets us inherit the patriotic feelings and fighting spirit of our ancestors and not forget the road we came from; this is an inheritance of mission that lets us deeply understand that the peace of the homeland and the prosperity of the nation cannot be separated from the sacrifice and dedication of countless people. Only by remembering the martyrs can we hold on to the root soul of the nation and gather strength to move forward.

Remembering the past requires constant vigilance; remembering the martyrs focuses on continuing the struggle. Today, the mountains and rivers are beautiful and the country is peaceful and prosperous, a happy homeland that countless martyrs exchanged with their lives. As Chinese people in the new era, we should take the martyrs as examples, inherit their patriotic and fighting spirit, and turn remembrance into strength to forge ahead. With our youth and diligence, we will contribute to the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation and to the construction of Chinese-style modernization, so that the spirit of the martyrs will be passed on, the peaceful and happy homeland will always be safe, and the Chinese nation will thrive and prosper forever!

The shepherd boy points to Xinghua Village in the distance”, which is a depiction of the scene of ancestor worship at Qingming in the era of Chinese farming civilization.        When human society enters the 21st century with rapidly advancing science and technology, we can proudly say that this is the best era and the most civilized era!        Whenever people offer sacrifices to their deceased ancestors and heroic souls at Qingming, we can choose online ancestor worship, or use AI to make exquisite flowers, fireworks and firecrackers, as well as generate digital avatars of ancestors and martyrs, and offer sincere sacrifices.
