Qing Ming Jie in Ancient Times
古代的清明節
In ancient times, people celebrated Qing Ming Jie with dancing, singing, picnics, and kite flying. Colored boiled eggs(原來古代中國的清明節和西方復活節一樣有彩蛋……小編只能感嘆歷史驚人的相似了……) would be broken to symbolize the opening of life. In the capital, the Emperor would plant trees on the palace grounds to celebrate the renewing nature of spring. In the villages, young men and women would court each other。
