I moved this page because of all the choices listed, "Tomb Sweeping Day" is most common via google search. It's better to use English, especially when English is most common. -- Jia ng 00:44, 29 Mar 2004 (UTC)
Google gives us the following hits:
So clearly, the translations are for the last two, and they make a majority if you disregard the first two options. 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? Is there no space between qing and ming? -- Jia ng 05:49, 30 Mar 2004 (UTC)
The Vietnamese also observe this holiday, known as "Thanh Minh". Some of the most memorable lines from the most significant Vietnamese work of literature, Truyện Kiều, refers to the sceneries during this holiday:

I think the following link is appropriate for this article, but it was removed by the Bot. Could anyone take a look to see if it's ok to add this link?
This holiday was NOT officially celebrated in the People's republic of China. You cannot claim it was official cause a few people celebrate it in privacy. Is like claiming marijuana is legal cause you smoke it in your own home. If you can get some access to mainland tv stations, they are practically teaching people how to celebrate it for the first time. Benjwong ( talk) 04:15, 8 April 2008 (UTC)
>In Taiwan this national holiday is observed on April 5 because the ruling Kuomintang moved it to that date in commemoration of the death of Chiang Kai-shek on April 5.
This statement is not supported or sourced. It was already observed on April 5. However, in 2012, it will be observed on April 4, not April 5. 08:06, 3 November 2011 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by 122.127.88.230 ( talk)
Kindly do not restore the mess of scripts and translations to the first line. Once it gets that messy, we can use an infobox and, once we have an infobox, we shouldn't repeat the information in the lead sentence. See WP:MOS-ZH for policy and {{ Chinese}} for any new languages (Japanese, Korean, &c.) you'd like to add to the infobox. — LlywelynII 02:57, 6 April 2014 (UTC)
I've simply removed various translations—Clear Bright Festival, Festival for Tending Graves, Grave Sweeping Day, and Spring Remembrance—that have no support whatsoever over at Google ngrams. Similarly, the less common names have been listed but relegated to a footnote instead of a special list section and the previous unsourced claim "Tomb Sweeping Day is the most common English name" has been removed. I actually feel that way but, if it were true, the page should simply be moved (per ENGLISH and COMMONNNAME) and Google Ngrams (though imperfect) certainly suggests that Qingming Festival is now the accepted English translation of this holiday. [All Souls' Day blows it out of the water, but obviously is mostly about English-language references to the Catholic holiday.]
Persondata allows us to list variations on the spellings of people's names for SEO; why isn't there anything like that for things like this with many variations of transliteration and translation? — LlywelynII 03:12, 6 April 2014 (UTC)
isn't actually a thing. It's the most common translation at the moment so that's where the page is, but Chong'er (his name) became known as the "Literary Duke of Jin" as an honorific title after his death. The Wen is an adjective and not a name and he should properly be called "the Wen Duke", not "Duke Wen". Kindly maintain it. — LlywelynII 03:50, 6 April 2014 (UTC)

I update some customs and some recorded town folks to the page as a point of view from a person who is born in mainland China. I tell how this festival is not just a grave sweeping day, and how people are hosting different activities during this day with approves form old Chinese books. The festival is a nation for people to explore the beauties of nature, and grave sweeping is a way to do so. Families going out to the graveyard at countrysides to embrace nature. It is overall a point of view from a student who sees how people are doing during this festival, and it is mainly over how some Chinese people do in Qingming festival.
