So, what should be prepared for ancestor worship on the Zhongyuan Festival? What are some poems suitable for commemorating the dead during the Ghost Festival? Let’s take a look with the editor! The seventh month of the lunar calendar is called the Qiqiao Festival, a festival in ancient times when women would "beg for skills" from the Weaver Girl, hence the name "Qiao Yue". Want to know whether the seventh lunar month of 2021 is a good day? Welcome to Shuimoxiansheng.com's special feature on the seventh month of the lunar calendar in 2021.What should we prepare for the Zhongyuan Festival?1. Incense and candles: Incense and candles are the most important items necessary for tomb sweeping. Not only should incense and candles be lit in front of the ancestors, but incense should also be offered to the mountain gods and land gods who look after the cemetery, praying that the mountain gods and land gods will protect the cemetery and bless the souls of the ancestors.2. Paper money: Paper money is to be burned for the deceased so that they have money to spend in the underworld, so it must be burned cleanly. 3. Vegetarian wine: Tomb sweeping is equivalent to bringing food to celebrate a festival for the ancestors, so wine must be offered to the ancestors. Wine is a must for tomb sweeping. 4. Fruit snacks: It is best to use seasonal fruits from different places, and there are no special requirements; snacks can be determined according to the specific situation. 5. Food: It is best to eat what the ancestors liked to eat during their lifetime. Many people will tell their children about their ancestors’ deeds during their lifetime while paying homage to their ancestors, so that the next generation will not forget their ancestors. 6. Fresh flowers: Chrysanthemums represent thoughts and remembrance. Chrysanthemums are usually suitable for visiting graves during the Qingming Festival, and white chrysanthemums are especially suitable for the scene. A collection of poems suitable for commemorating the Chinese Ghost Festival【1】The cool frost of the trees is refreshing. The moon of the Mid-Autumn Festival is bright in the nine streets. Children compete to pick green lotus leaves, Thousands of silver flowers scatter across the city of fire. ——Pang Kai's "Chang'an Miscellaneous Feelings in the Style of Bamboo Branches" 【2】 Ten years of life and death, If you don't think about it, you will never forget it. A lonely grave thousands of miles away, with no one to express my sorrow. Even if we meet, we won't recognize each other. His face is covered with dust and his hair is like frost. At night, I suddenly returned to my hometown in a dream. She is dressing herself in the small window. We looked at each other in silence, with tears streaming down our faces. I know how heartbreaking it is every year. A moonlit night, short pine hill. ——Su Shi's "Jiangchengzi" 【3】 Today is the festival, but I am still a stranger in a foreign land. Zen monks sit at the same table, and eat vegetarian food as if they were in the hall. The river tea has the color of water, and the wild vegetables have the fragrance of mountains. Suddenly I remembered the autumn chrysanthemums, who was weeding the barren paths? ——Xu Jisun's "Zhongyuan" 【4】 When I return to the door, everything is different. Why did we come here together but not return together? The phoenix tree is half dead after the frost, and the white-headed mandarin ducks fly away without their partner. The dew has just dried on the grass on the plain, and the old roost and the new mound are both nostalgic. Lying on the empty bed listening to the rain outside the south window, who will mend clothes by lamplight at night? ——He Zhuo, "Partridge Sky" 【5】 The dream is broken and the fragrance is gone for forty years, the willows in the sunken garden are old and no longer shed their catkins. This body will turn into the soil of Ji Mountain, but I still feel sad when I think of your traces. The setting sun over the city walls causes the sad sound of painted horns, and the old pond and pavilion are no longer in the sunken garden. The spring waves are green under the Sad Bridge, I wonder if it is the reflection of a startled wild goose. ——Lu You's "Two Poems on Sunken Garden" 【6】 Every year, the family reunites happily. Fortunately, I can enjoy poetry and wine at the same time. Don't say Xuanfeng is only about fishing, I also follow the secular world and have sleepless nights. ——Zhao Ding's "Quatrains on Lantern Festival While Drunk and Beautiful" 【7】 The festival is coming to the palace, and people are returning from the Zhongyuan Festival to worship Shangqing. Yang Quan had to get rid of the gold bars, and Wen Qiao ended up with an empty jade mirror stand. I would wake up from my sleep and hear the rain, without realizing I got lost because of the flowers blooming. Youxu is far away from Yingzhou, so how can the green bird be the matchmaker? ——Li Shangyin of the Tang Dynasty, "Zhongyuan Works" |
