Pure Brightness Festival, also known as Tomb-sweeping Day in China, falls on the 4th or 5th of April each year. It was started in the Han Dynasty. On this day, whole families, young and old, with flowers visit the graves of their ancestors to pay their respects. Following the custom, tomb sweepers clean and tidy the graves, decorate them with flowers. They burn paper money made for the dead, set off firecrackers and bow before their ancestors’ tombstones. On this day, they don’t cook. Only cold food is served.

An English story about the day,however,says that it began sometime during the 1200s.At the time,King John was in the habit of making roads out of the paths he most often walked along.The people of one particular farm village were aware of this.To avoid having their green grasslands and pastures(牧场)disturbed by one of the king’s roads,they built a fence that prevented the king from walking through their countryside.
