The 24 solar terms, consisting of 12 major solar terms and 12 minor solar terms, were created thousands of years ago by the ancient Chinese to guide agricultural production.Today, the culture behind the terms provides useful guidance to people's lives as each term features special food, cultural ceremonies and healthy living tips.

Pure Brightness or Qingming in Chinese, the fifth solar term of the Chinese lunar calendar, falls on April 4th this year. It reveals a sense of mourning, a lively atmosphere of spring and even a sense of beauty.

On this day, Chinese people pay respect to heroes and martyrs who have devoted their lives to the people and country, which displays Chinese people's love for their families and the nation.
