Nicole and Michael / These darling children are our Ohana Kwock Hing / Ching Ming / Qingming / Honouring our Ancestors ~ bi san / Kula Maui Hawai’i Copyright © Sharon Mau 2009 / All Rights Reserved Universewide Canon EOS Digital Rebel XTi / Shooting Date/Time 11 April 2009 10:47:00 / Tv 1/500 Av 8.0 Lens EF28-135mm f/3.5-5.6 IS USM “Graveside picnics: The Ching Ming Festival – “The Clear and Bright Festival” – is related to the solar calendar. This seasonal festival marks the beginning of spring and is held on the 106th day after winter solstice and celebrated here in April. On this day observants customarily visit ancestral graves where traditional rites and offerings are made to honour one’s ancestors. This unusual ancestral observance is related to the traditional Chinese need to receive blessing from the previous generations at the onset of a new undertaking. The event, however, has the atmosphere of a picnic because the offered food is eaten at the various gravesites. It is not a solemn occasion, but rather, a time for happy communion with one’s forefathers.” Information Source />Ching Ming is an important traditional Chinese festival celebrated by the Han Clan (汉族) for over 2,500 years. Today, this festival is also celebrated by other Chinese clans as well. Ching (清) in Chinese translated to “Clear” or “Pure”, and Ming (明) translated to “Bright”. Therefore, Ching Ming Festival is also known as Clear Brightness Festival or Pure Brightness Festival. The ancient Chinese is an agricultural society. Ching Ming Festival indicates the time to start farming for the year. When Ching Ming arrives, the cold weather from previous winter begins to turn warm, there will be more rains, plants and animals show their active sign of life again. Therefore, Ching Ming is the day of transition from Ying (阴) back to Yang (阳), which brings more “clear” and “brightness” to earth.” Ching Ming Festival “Ching Ming or Qingming, meaning clear and bright, is the day for mourning the dead, a day for Chinese families to visit our ancestors graves. It falls in early April every year and corresponds with the onset of warmer weather, the start of spring, and of family outings. This is a one-day holiday in Hong Kong for the descendants to “sweep the graves” of their ancestors. It is not a solemn occasion, but rather, a time for happy communion with the family members to show respect to their ancestors. To “sweep the graves” means to clear the graves of all the leaves and weeds and repaint the inscriptions on it. The Chinese believe that too many leaves surrounding the graves disturb the spirit of the ancestors. Then food such as fruit, rice, wine, chicken, pork, cakes etc., the favorite food of the ancestors, will be put around the grave for the spirit of the ancestors. The Chinese believe that the dead ancestors are not eating well in their afterlife. Giving them their favorite food not only shows respect for them but also brings the descendants good life and health. The Chinese believe that the spirit has power to fulfil wishes. The food is not wasted as after prayers they will be brought back and shared among the descendants. The Chinese believe that eating them brings good health. Also, paper money is burned, candles are lit and the whole family kneels to pay respect. The Chinese also believes that paper money can be consumed in heaven or hell. In ancient China, Qingming was by no means the only time when sacrifices were made to ancestors. In fact, such ceremonies were held very frequently, about every two weeks, in addition to other important holidays and festivals. The ceremonies were so elaborate and expensive that later in 732A.D., Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty declared that respects would be formally paid at the tombs of ancestors only on the day of Qingming in order to reduce the expenses. This is a custom that continues to this date. Qingming is not just a day of remembrance, it is also a day to celebrate the coming of spring, often by going out for a picnic. With the coming of spring, nature wakes up, dressing the world with green grass. Everything is new, clean and fresh. Qingming Information Source Ching Ming Festival

He holds the future in his grasp / This boy, then only three / Secure in his loving clasp / While sitting on his knee / / Such joy I see within Dad’s eyes / As he looks at my son / And laughter from my son does rise / As both of them have fun / / No greater gift to each of them / Could I hope to bestow / More precious than the biggest gem / In my heart I do know / / For love and joy can not be bought / It only can be shared / Although it surely can be caught / By photo when they’re paired / / This artwork was inspired by my son, Dylan, while going through some old photos to get them ready to convert to digital format. It shows him many years ago, content and happy in the arms of his Grand Dad… my father. / / I made this for both Dylan and my father, so they could remember those precious moments shared long ago, and relive them again for a few moments each time they viewed the artwork. / / The digital painting was created in Photoshop from a scan of the original 5×7 inch photo. I wish that I could have scanned the original 35mm negative, but scanners capable of getting a good resolution of a 35mm neg are still in the $2000 neighborhood, and therefore, quite beyond my means at this point. / / The original is 4800×6000 pixels at 300 pixels per inch, over 300% larger than the photo it was made from. Because the original is so large and difficult to see over the internet, I have included a few of detail cutaways below. The detail cutaways are at 33% of the size of the finished painting. / / / / / / / /
