Ching Ming, Grave Sweeping Day, is a traditional Chinese celebration honoring ancestors. On this day, families visit the cemeteries of their ancestors to pay their respects with offerings of flowers, incense, imitation paper money, and food. This custom originated in ancient times and is still celebrated today.
"Thank you so much for taking the time to speak to our class about the rich Chinese American history present here in San Jose. Many of the students did not know that these buildings were here, much less the history, and it was very eye-opening to learn."
