Today is 4th April and it is Qingming. For a Chinese, this is the day to remember and honour's ones ancestor at the grave site. During this day, people would sweep their ancestors' tomb and have some offerings for their ancestors.
Probably this is good day also to let the younger generations to know more about their ancestors and what have they done to build the family...

A famous poem for Qing Ming....
清明时节雨纷纷 / qīng míng shí jié yǔ fēn fēn
路上行人欲断魂 / lù shàng xíng rén yù duàn hún
借问酒家何处有 / jiè wèn jiǔ jiā hé chù yǒu
牧童遥指杏花村 / mù tóng yáo zhǐ xìng huā cūn
