Tomb sweepingAccording to custom, people usually go to the tombs to pay homage to their ancestors on the morning of Qingming Festival. The ways and items of Qing worship vary from place to place. The common practices consist of two parts: one is to repair the tombs, and the other is to hang and burn paper money and offer sacrifices. When sweeping the graves, the first thing to do is to repair the graves, mainly by removing weeds, adding new soil, and then bowing and performing rituals to pay homage. On the one hand, this behavior can express the worshiper's filial piety and care for the ancestors. On the other hand, in the ancients' beliefs, the ancestral tombs are closely related to the prosperity and decline, fortune and misfortune of future generations, so tomb maintenance is an important part of the memorial service that cannot be neglected. The offerings are mainly food, and the varieties vary from place to place. They are all delicacies that are considered by the locals and can be afforded by the worshipers, or seasonal specialties. 2. Go outing The Chinese people have long maintained the custom of outing during the Qingming Festival, and the outing custom has a long history. The Qingming Festival is a time of spring, when everything is budding. It has long been a custom to go on a picnic outdoors to welcome the spring. According to the "Book of Jin", every spring, people would go to the suburbs together to enjoy the spring scenery. The custom of outing was particularly popular during the Tang and Song dynasties. According to the "Old Book of Tang", "In the second year of Dali, on the day of Renwu in February, I went to Kunming Lake for an outing." It can be seen that the custom of outing in spring has long been popular. 3. Planting willows During the Qingming Festival, Chinese people have the custom of planting willows. There are three common theories about the origin of the custom of planting willows during Qingming Festival. Some experts believe that the custom of planting willows is to commemorate Shennong, the ancestor of agriculture who "taught people how to farm." In some places, people insert willow branches under the eaves to predict the weather. There is an old saying that goes "When the willow branches are green, it will rain; when the willow branches are dry, the sky will be sunny." Willows have strong vitality. As the saying goes, "If you plant flowers with care, they may not grow; but if you plant willows by accident, they may grow into shade trees." Willow branches will grow wherever they are planted. If you plant willows every year, shade trees will grow everywhere. In addition, another explanation for planting willow trees and wearing willow trees on Qingming Festival is to drive away ghosts and evil spirits. 4. Flying a kite Kites are also called "paper kites" or "kites". Flying kites is a favorite activity among people during the Qingming Festival. A kite is a kind of flying vehicle that uses only aerodynamics and is made by pasting paper or silk on a bamboo frame and then flying into the sky by pulling a long string tied to the frame. During the Qingming Festival, people set off fireworks not only during the day but also at night. At night, strings of colorful lanterns are hung under the kite or on the wind-stable pull line. They look like twinkling stars and are called "magic lanterns." In the past, some people would cut the strings after releasing the kites into the blue sky and let the breeze carry them to the ends of the earth. It was said that this would ward off disease and disaster and bring good luck. Do you want to know your own Bazi? Want to figure out where your golden marriage is?
