Do Koreans celebrate Qingming Festival? The answer is yes. Although Korea’s traditional tomb-sweeping festival is called “Cold Food Festival,” the date is close to Qingming Festival and the customs also have many similarities, such as ancestor worship and tomb-sweeping. Therefore, we can say that Koreans do have a culture similar to Qingming Festival, which honors the dead and remembers their ancestors, reflecting the common spirit of filial piety in the East Asian cultural circle.

Paying respects to relatives early is not a taboo, but a display of filial piety. If for some reason you are unable to visit the deceased on his/her death anniversary, there is nothing wrong with paying respects earlier to express your thoughts for the deceased. The important thing is the sincerity of the intention, not the date. What is important is to remember our loved ones with a reverent heart at the appropriate time and place. In this way, the spirit of filial piety can be embodied rather than just following the form.
