CHONGQING (CQNEWS) -- More than 100 people joined in the unique funeral culture popularization activity held on the morning of April 4 (Qingming Festival) in Tongyuanmen City-wall Park, Yuzhong, Chongqing.

Hosted by Chongqing Funeral Management Center, Chongqing Yuzhong Civil Affairs Bureau, and Qixinggang Sub-district Office, the funeral culture popularization activity aims at promoting the concept of green funeral and showcasing the charm of the traditional Qingming culture.

It’s worth noting that visitors can enjoy a series of Qingming cultural activities, such as painting colorful kites and making sachets, to gain a better understanding of Qingming culture.

The Chinese Qingming Festival is meaningful, said Hua Rui, a German girl attracted by the funeral culture popularization activity. Hua Rui lives in Jiangsu, and she traveled to Chongqing to spend the Qingming Festival holiday with her father coming from Germany. She happened to join in the Qingming cultural activity on the first day of the visit.

Hua Rui and her father tried painting kites and wearing sachets in the Qingming cultural activity. “It smells so good!” When sachets were finished, they wore them immediately.

Hua Rui has been living in China for years, and her Chinese colleagues go to their ancestral homes to worship their ancestors at every Qingming Festival. "Our ancestors who have passed away are important to us, as they taught us cultural knowledge and gave us their heart and soul. Qingming Festival is culturally significant. I think it's very good to pay tribute to the deceased on Qingming Festival.” (Translated by Yuki, Fathom Language Limited)
