Qingming Festival

There's plenty of cultures.

And that's why it was so big in China, because at the Qingming Festival, people were able to recognize it and latch onto something there.

and i do wonder if it's just with for me like when joe is talking about the lechon and i'm a cuban and i'm like oh my god i can latch on to that but i do wonder if it's just it's just that filipino culture just isn't as widely known as maybe some other cultures that it just wasn't getting a hook.

It wasn't effective selling for a wider audience.

In Japan, in August, there's an Obon period where ancestral spirits are honored.

In China, there's Tomb Sweeping Day that happens usually in the springtime, though.

And even in Christianity, in November, there's an All Souls Day that the Catholics pray for the departed.

From a spiritual point of view, what I recommend is oftentimes I have clients that show up.

Yes.

Chen says that in 2005, he returned to Tainan for the Tomb Sweeping Festival.

That's in April.

And he visited the Chen family ancestral hall.

It was April.

It was actually on Tomb Sweeping Day 2004, actually.

Oh,

okay.
