	Chinese QingMing Festival Qing Ming Jie
		The Qing Ming Jie, or Qing Ming Festival, occurs in the middle of Spring, shortly after Spring Solstice.
		Jie was so sad that he prepared to leave and live in seclusion with his mother in mountains.
		It was not until the Qing Dynasty (1644-1911) about 300 years ago that the practice of Hanshi (or eating cold food) was replaced by that of Qingming, which had now become an important occasion for people to offer rememberances and sacrifices to their ancestors.

	QING MING FESTIVAL
		Jie Zitui, Chong'er's loyal retainer, smuggled him out of the state of Jin in the middle of the night.
		Jie was well known for being a filial son, thus he would surely escape the blaze with his old mother.
		Whatever the rituals may be, Qing Ming Festival is an expression of the filial spirit of the Chinese and the respect they have for their forefathers.

	Talk:Qingming Festival - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Yes, it's better to use English when there's a clear translation, but the problem is that Qing Ming Jie is translated into any of a number of translations, and most of these translations are not even accurate and do not reflect the actual name of the holiday.
		Faulty translations are part of the phenomenon and can be explained in the article itself.
		If we are to keep "Qing Ming Jie", is this the appropriate spacing?
