Customs of Cold Food Festival: Ancestor Worship Tomb sweeping and ancestor worship on Cold Food Festival was considered a "wild sacrifice" from the Southern and Northern Dynasties to the Tang Dynasty. In the Tang Dynasty, it was included in "Kaiyuan Ritual" "Volume 87: Worship and Sweeping for Kings and Dukes and Below (Attached to the Worship and Sweeping for Cold Food Festival)" and became one of the auspicious ceremonies officially recognized and advocated. Later it evolved into the royal family offering sacrifices to the tombs; government officials offering sacrifices to the Confucius Temple and to the sages; and the common people visiting the graves, etc. At that time, a family or a clan would go to the ancestral grave together, offer sacrifices, add soil, hang paper money, then scatter Zitui Swallow, Snake and Rabbit on the top of the grave and roll them down, then string them up with willow branches or knotty needles and place them in a high place in the room, in the hope of receiving the ancestors' virtues.
