Introduction to the ritual of visiting graves to pay respect to ancestors

When visiting the graves, people bring wine, food, fruits, paper money and other items to the cemetery, offer the food in front of their relatives' graves, burn the paper money, add new soil to the graves, repair the graves, break off a few green branches and insert them on the graves, press some paper money on top, and pad with bricks to let others know that there are descendants in this grave, and then kowtow and pay tribute. [1] Women and children would also pick some willow branches nearby and use them to string the steamed food offerings together. Some people weave willow branches into a basket shape and wear it on their heads, with the saying "If you don't wear willow branches on Qingming Festival, you will turn into a yellow dog in your next life."

Introduction to the characteristics of ancestor worship

The purpose of ancestor worship is to honor the dead and remember the ancestors, but also to show the long history and hope for the prosperity of descendants. Therefore, when doing this, one should be serious, solemn, respectful and sincere, which all comes from traditional Chinese ethical thoughts. In the history of our country, the Yellow Emperor era was the time when Chinese civilization began its great creation, and the Yellow Emperor was revered by later generations as the first ancestor of human civilization. "When Huangdi died, he was buried in Qiaoshan", which is today's Huangdi Mausoleum in Qiaoshan, Huangling County, Shaanxi Province. Sacrifices are held at the Mausoleum of the Yellow Emperor during the Qingming Festival every year.
The emphasis on ancestor worship is a prominent feature of Chinese etiquette. This is because ancestor worship has a good social educational function, which helps to cultivate the moral character of social members, strengthen the unity among social members, and maintain the stability of the patriarchal society.
