Traditional East Asian lunisolar calendars divide a year into 24 solar terms (節氣). Qīng míng (pīnyīn) or Chīng míng (MPS II) or Seimei (rōmaji) (Chinese and Japanese: 清明; Korean: 청명; Vietnamese: Thanh minh; literally: "clear and bright") is the 5th solar term. It begins when the Sun reaches the celestial longitude of 15° and ends when it reaches the longitude of 30°. It more often refers in particular to the day when the Sun is exactly at the celestial longitude of 15°. In the Gregorian calendar, it usually begins around 4 April (5 April East Asia time) and ends around 20 April.
Qing Ming 2012 is on 4th April 2012 (Wednesday). We make it on 1st April 2012 (Sunday) morning 7am to 9am at Simapng Dua Cemetary, Sitiawan Perak. Traffic jam everywhere in the Sitiawan, Kampung Koh and Ayer Tawar.Traffice light in sitiawan need to wait for 3 rounds only before my turned. Normally we order a noodle in a noodle shop will take 5-10 munites only but during Qing Ming it will take around 45-60 minutes.
