In our country, many of our friends like to say happy things when they encounter festivals. So, let’s take a look at whether we can say Happy Qingming Festival during the Qingming Festival? Life is rarely smooth sailing, and it is inevitable to encounter some difficulties and adversities. What kind of fortune and good or bad luck will there be in the second month of the lunar calendar? Please pay attention to the special topic of February 2021 of the lunar calendar on Shuimoxiansheng.com!Can we say Happy Qingming Festival on Qingming Festival?No, you cannot say "Happy Qingming Festival" on the day of Qingming Festival.The main activities of Qingming Festival are ancestor worship and tomb sweeping, which are solemn and dignified. At the same time, these two are related to death and ghosts and gods, so a "happy" attitude is not desirable. In this regard, Gao Wei, Secretary-General of the Beijing Folklore Society, admitted that it is okay to say "Happy Qingming Festival" during Qingming Festival, and this saying has actually been around for a long time; in comparison, the saying "You can't say Happy Qingming Festival" is a saying that has only emerged in the past two years. The reason for the controversy is that people do not have a deep understanding of the connotation of Qingming Festival. Gao Wei analyzed that Qingming Festival is the most important festival in spring, with rich themes and content. The theme of Qingming Festival is not just tomb sweeping, but more importantly, it combines tomb sweeping with outing. When we wish happiness, it actually means that we have the courage to overcome sadness and difficulties, which is also a positive attitude. Therefore, you cannot say "Happy Qingming Festival" during Qingming Festival. What activities are there during the Qingming Festival?Since Qingming Festival became a traditional folk festival in the Tang and Song dynasties, while the content of the festival customs has been continuously enriched, the fundamental nature of the festival customs has not changed much. However, with the evolution and progress of social life, the customs of Qingming Festival have early shown a trend of transforming from sacred sacrifice to secular entertainment. According to the "Jingchu Sui Shi Ji", there are games such as cockfighting, egg carving, ball playing, tug-of-war, etc. during the Qingming Festival.Zhang Dai, who lived in the late Ming Dynasty, described the Qingming scenery of Yangzhou in his "Dreams of Taoan: Qingming in Yangzhou": "On that day, wanderers from all directions, Hui merchants and Western merchants, famous prostitutes in operas, and all kinds of people who do good things, all gathered. Long ponds are lush with grass, and people ride horses and release hawks; high hills and flat mountains, people fight cocks and play zithers. Prodigals wrestle with each other, children play with paper warblers, old monks talk about cause and effect, people tell stories, people stand in a forest, and people squat. At dusk, the clouds are rising, and carriages and horses are everywhere. The beautiful ladies in the officialdom, the curtains of their carriages are all opened, they are tired and tired, and the mountain flowers are inserted obliquely, and they rush into the door in clusters. This is very similar to the "Qingming Carnival" in Jiangnan during the Ming Dynasty. From Zhang Dai's article, we can see that in addition to the prohibition of fire and tomb sweeping, the customs of Qingming Festival also include riding horses and releasing hawks, cockfighting, kicking balls, flying kites and a series of entertainment and fitness activities." |
