Introduction
As spring breezes brush the willows, the Qingming Festival arrives once again. As a traditional Chinese festival for honoring ancestors and expressing gratitude, Qingming carries profound cultural heritage and a sense of family and nation. On the occasion of the 2026 Qingming Festival, Haixing Jiayuan Plastic Products Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as “Haixing Jiayuan”) hereby announces its holiday arrangements in accordance with national statutory holidays and the company’s operational realities. At the same time, we invite all employees and partners to reflect together on the culture of Qingming.

II. The Cultural Background of Qingming: When a Solar Term Meets a Festival
The Qingming Festival, also known as Tomb-Sweeping Day, is one of China’s four major traditional festivals (alongside the Spring Festival, Dragon Boat Festival, and Mid-Autumn Festival).
1. Historical Origins: The Fusion of Cold Food, Qingming, and Shangsi
Qingming began as one of the 24 solar terms, marking rising temperatures and the “clean and bright” renewal of all things. During the Tang and Song dynasties, it gradually absorbed customs from the “Cold Food Festival” (commemorating Jie Zitui, with a ban on fire and cold meals) and the “Shangsi Festival” (riverside purification and spring outings). This fusion gave rise to today’s unique Qingming tradition, which combines tomb sweeping with spring excursions.
2. Core Meaning: Reverence for the Past Enriches Public Morality
As the 《Analects of Confucius》 states: “Pay careful attention to the end of life and continue the remembrance of ancestors; then the virtue of the people will return to fullness.” The essence of Qingming lies in:
Gratitude and Remembranc: By sweeping tombs and making offerings, people express respect for the sources of life and pass down family memories.
Life and Hope: Qingming falls between mid-spring and late spring, when all things grow in a clean and bright environment. Amid their sorrow, people also engage in spring outings, willow planting, and kite flying to embrace the vitality of the season — reflecting the Chinese philosophy of “sorrow without self-destruction.”
3. Traditional Customs at a Glance
Custom | Meaning |
Tomb Sweeping | Cleaning graves, making offerings, burning paper money (now replaced by flowers in modern practice) — expressing remembrance |
Spring Outings | Walking in nature, flying kites, swinging on swings — getting close to the natural world |
Wearing Willow Branches | Willows symbolize life and protection against evil; a folk saying goes, “If you don’t wear willow on Qingming, your youthful face will age prematurely” |
Eating Qingtuan (Green Rice Balls) | Made with glutinous rice and mugwort juice in the Jiangnan region, filled with sweet bean paste or savory ingredients — symbolizing the freshness of spring |
Cold Food Legacy | Some areas preserve the custom of eating cold dishes, such as cold noodles or date cakes |
4. The Modern Qingming: Civilized, Green, and Safe
As times have changed, Qingming has taken on additional contemporary meanings:
Civilized Remembrance: Promoting flower offerings, online memorials, and family remembrance gatherings to reduce pollution from burning.
Safety First: Strictly preventing fires, encouraging off-peak travel, and avoiding crowds.
Statutory Holiday: Since 2008, Qingming has been officially recognized as a national public holiday, becoming a day of shared cultural memory for all Chinese people.
