1. Qingming Festival
Tomb sweeping on Qingming Festival is called "respect for ancestors". The custom has a long history. The Ming Dynasty's "A Brief Account of the Scenery of the Imperial Capital" records: "On the Qingming Festival in March, men and women sweep the tombs, carrying jugs and hanging paper ingots behind sedan chairs and horses, filling the streets with people. People worship, pour wine, cry, weed and add soil to the tombs, burn paper ingots and place paper money on the graves. If there is no paper money in sight, the grave is an isolated one. After crying, people do not return home, but go to fragrant trees, choose gardens and fields, sit in a row and get drunk."
2. Ghost Festival
The Zhongyuan Festival is also known as the Ghost Festival. According to folk beliefs, ancestors will return home to visit their descendants at this time, so it is necessary to offer sacrifices to them. However, sacrificial activities are usually carried out before the end of July in the lunar calendar and are not limited to a specific day.
3. Double Ninth Festival
The Double Ninth Festival is also a traditional time for sacrificial offerings. In ancient times, it was an activity to offer sacrifices to the Emperor of Heaven and ancestors in September when the crops were harvested, in order to thank the Emperor of Heaven and ancestors for their kindness.
