The Qingming holiday in China is considered one of the main spring holidays, it not only embodies the cyclic nature of natural life and human life, but also reflects the principle of harmonizing human activity with natural phenomena. The fundamental idea of Chinese civilization - the idea of the inseparable unity of man and nature - is especially fully and convincingly manifested in the history and tradition of the Qingming holiday. In the article, the author considers holiday traditions, the origin of which is rooted in the distant past. At the same time, the connection between the past and the present, their fluidity and interchangeability are clearly felt. The article confirms the idea that the Qingming holiday is a multi-aspect phenomenon in which the concept of "the unity of man and nature" and the ideologies of various historical epochs are synthesized and simultaneously coexist. Conducting a historical analysis, the author emphasizes the need to merge history and the present, notes the paradoxical nature of the combination in one holiday of seemingly incomparable things: the commemoration of the dead and the joy of a new life. It is in understanding the deep essence of the holiday that the harmony of the present moment of being lies. Honoring one's ancestors, caring for one's roots, strengthening and uniting forces within the family and clan - all this distinguishes the true, according to the author, unity of the people.
