😳 The most UNEXPECTED Chinese festival in history - Qingming Festival 清明節

🔥When we talk about the Qingming Festival 清明節, we usually think it's about visiting graves and sweeping the tombs. Heck, the English translation is “tomb sweeping festival’. Actually, the ancient Qingming Festival had a lot of fun activities... Flying kites and hiking being one of them... 😳

Hey do you guys remember the Fork vs Chopsticks can you make a video about it?

[@darkestdragon]

I think it’s awesome you have both Cantonese and mandarin ! Being a Cantonese speaker it helps a lot! Thanks and keep it up!

[@agentzou]

I love these origin stories, more please! Especially appreciate you speaking the terms in both Mandarin and Cantonese ! 👏👏👏

[@_whats3rname]

Nice, I didn't know this! Definitely would like to hear more about origin stories. As always, thanks for providing the Cantonese pronunciations! It's lovely!

[@dominichill1492]

Thank you for the video Carmen, and you are looking lovely as always. As a black american man I support the asian community threw this hard times of discrimination and racism. Also I been out protesting with my asian friends. Much respect to the asian community world wide.

[@ernstheimlich7257]

Thanks Dominic. People are being professionally agitated and set up against each other nowadays. Valid concerns are coopted by radical movements, which leads to only more intolerance. Programs like these are excellent, as they let people appreciate the richness of other cultures.

[@dominichill1492]

I agree with you 110 percent. Also as a black american man; I feel it's my job to help the asian community. I really have to.

[@GreenwayOo]

[@leunggrace]

timing is very important if you want to capture the audiences' attention. It likes watching new year celebration after 14 days of the events. sorry I lost my interest regardless how great the story. May be watch it next year when the event came.

[@NTDOffTheGreatWall]

Hey I get it. Time went by so quickly this year that I didn’t even realize it’s mid April! Regardless, the script was written and done may as well do it and not waste another week. Thanks for your feedback though. Come back to watch it next year 😉

[@welcome33333]

sorry not sure why youtube showed me this video ... not very interesting/entertaining/informative
