About Qingming Festival ancestor worship:

Qingming Festival sacrifices are held before and after Qingming Festival, and vary from place to place. According 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.
