Legend has it that Clear and Bright is one of three peri
iods during the year in which ghosts come closest to the world of living men. Buddhists believe that wil
low branches will drive away unwelcome ghosts and evil spirits. Therefore, willow branches are also known as “ghost terror wood”.
Folk proverbs also dictate customs. One proverb states that if a young lady does not wear a willow branch during the Clear and Bri
ght period, she will soon turn old. Another says: “If one does not wear a willow, he will become a yellow dog after he dies and is reincarn
ated.”Flying kites is an activity favored by many Chinese during Tomb-Sweeping Day. Kites are not only flown during the day time but also in the evenin

e twinkling stars at night. What makes flying kites during this day special is that people cut the string while the kite is in the
sky to let it fly free. It is said this brings good luck and that diseases can be chased away by doing this.
