At Quanwei Machinery (Jiangsu) Co., Ltd., we believe that a company’s strength lies not only in its high-quality products but also in its respect for traditions and care for its team. As one of China’s most important traditional festivals, Qingming Festival (Tomb-Sweeping Day) is approaching, and we are pleased to share the origins and customs of this meaningful festival, along with our company’s holiday arrangement, to convey our gratitude to every employee and partner.
Qingming Festival, usually falling on April 4th or 5th each year, has a history of over 2,500 years. Its origin can be traced back to the Spring and Autumn Period, initially as a festival to honor Jie Zitui, a noble man known for his loyalty and selflessness. Over time, it has evolved into a comprehensive festival that combines reverence for ancestors, commemoration of the deceased, and celebration of spring’s arrival. It is a time when Chinese people express their nostalgia for loved ones and embrace the vitality of the new season, reflecting the traditional values of filial piety, gratitude, and harmony with nature.
There are many time-honored customs associated with Qingming Festival, which have been passed down through generations and are still practiced today. The most core custom is tomb-sweeping: families gather to clean the tombs of their ancestors, offer flowers, fruits, and other sacrifices, and pay their respects to express their remembrance and gratitude. Another popular custom is spring outing, as Qingming coincides with the blooming of flowers and the recovery of all things—people go outdoors to enjoy the fresh air, appreciate the beautiful scenery, and feel the vitality of spring. Additionally, eating qingtuan (a glutinous rice cake wrapped in mugwort leaves) is a traditional food custom, symbolizing purity, peace, and the hope for a good harvest.
At Quanwei Machinery, we attach great importance to inheriting traditional culture and caring for the work-life balance of our employees. We understand that Qingming Festival is a precious time for our team members to reunite with their families, honor their ancestors, and enjoy the spring scenery. Therefore, we are pleased to announce that our company will observe a 2-day holiday for Qingming Festival.
While we take time to honor traditions and rest, we also want to express our sincere gratitude to our global partners for their long-term trust and support. Quanwei Machinery has always adhered to the concept of "integrity, innovation, and people-oriented", and we believe that respecting traditions and caring for our team will enable us to move forward more steadily and provide better services to our partners around the world.
As we celebrate Qingming Festival, we look forward to the arrival of spring, the renewal of all things, and the continued growth of our cooperation with you. May this festival bring peace, happiness, and warmth to you and your family. We will return to work with full energy after the holiday, continuing to provide professional and reliable pneumatic solutions for the global manufacturing industry.
