- It is "Qing Ming" festival again. Qing Ming (清明）means pure brightness, it is the tomb sweeping day for the Chinese. It is also a day where the whole family gather to pay respect to the ancestors. In the olden days, Qing Ming could be a whole day excursion out in the country side. The families would have to pack enough food to pray and then to feed themselves. Therefore, it is also known as the festival of cold food, Hanshi Jie (寒食节）.
Qing Ming is the fourth of the five solar terms of spring, and it is set in a period when nature is lush and animals and insects are mating. Grandma said the Hakka, and those from the south of China, would use mugwort to ward off the insects, and eat green dumpling made from mugwort. Due to its medicinal value, there is an old saying goes like this: "Eating green dumpling around Qing Ming festival, warding off sickness for the year".
The festival falls on spring where mugwort grows wild in abundant. It is simply picked and chopped up to be added into glutinous rice flour to form a green pastry. It is soft and chewy, not sweet nor greasy, with a light herbal aroma. It can be plain by itself or with sweet or savory fillings.
又到了"清明"节。清明是中国人的扫墓日，也是全家人团聚祭拜祖先的日子。在古代，清明节可以外出郊游一整天，家家户户都要带上足够的食物，祭拜祖先后再一起用餐，因此，清明节又被称为寒食节。
清明是春季五个节气中的第四个节气，此时正是万物生机勃勃、动物昆虫交配的时期。奶奶说，客家人和中国南方人一样，会用艾草驱虫，还会吃用艾草做成的青团子。由于艾草具有药用价值，所以有句老话是这样说的："清明吃青团子，一年不生病"。
清明节正值春季，艾草野生长茂盛，人们只需采摘切碎，加入糯米粉里做成绿色的糕点。它碧青油绿，糯韧绵软不粘牙，不甜不腻，带有清淡却悠长的青草香气，可以单独食用，也可以搭配甜或咸的馅料。
