The world's first AIGC-powered animated series on Chinese civilization, CHINESE STORIES, launches its latest episode: "The rain falls thick and fast on All Souls' Day (Qingming)."
This episode decodes the life philosophy behind a thousand-year-old ancestral ritual. In Chinese Qingming means pure brightness. Qingming or Pure Brightness, is one of the 24 Chinese solar terms. It's on April 4, 5 or 6 depending on the lunar year. Fifteen days after the Spring Equinox, Chinese communities around the globe observe three solemn acts of tomb-sweeping: cleaning and restoring gravestones, offering fresh fruits and incense, and burning joss paper to reach the unseen. These rituals, performed in the gentle rains of Qingming, bridge the realms of the living and the departed.
With AI recreating evocative scenes from centuries past, even those far from home can now participate in "virtual remembrance," sending heartfelt tributes across time and space. Presented in three languages, the full episode is now available exclusively on the DotDotNews app, offering a glimpse into the enduring wisdom of Chinese views on life and death.
