As the fifth solar term of the year, Clear and Bright (Qingming) arrives. Paulownia trees bloom, quails emerge, and the first rainbow of the year may appear. The Qingming Festival also falls during this transition from mid- to late spring, a time to honor ancestors and venture outdoors for spring outings.
