Qīngmíng (pīnyīn) or Chīngmíng (MPS II) or Seimei (rōmaji) () is the name of the 5th solar term of the traditional East Asian lunisolar calendar, which divides a year into 24 solar terms (節氣). Qingming begins when the sun reaches the celestial longitude of 15° and ends when it reaches the longitude of 30°. It more often refers in particular to the day when the sun is exactly at the celestial longitude of 15°. In the Gregorian calendar, it usually begins around 4 or 5 April and ends around 20 April. == Pentads == Each solar term can be divided into 3 pentads (候). They are: first pentad (初候), second pentad (次候) and last pentad (末候). Pentads in Chingming include: ; China * First pentad: 桐始華, 'The paulownia begins to bloom'. * Second pentad: 田鼠化為鴽, 'Voles transform into quails'. * Last pentad: 虹始見, 'Rainbows begin to appear'. ; Japan * First pentad: 玄鳥至 * Second pentad: 鴻雁北 * Last pentad: 虹始見 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Qingming」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
