What kind of flowers should I bring to tomb-sweeping day?

When visiting graves on Qingming Festival, do not bring brightly colored flowers. It is best to bring fresh and elegant flowers such as chrysanthemums. It is also best not to choose red flowers.
1. Chrysanthemum
The flower language of chrysanthemum is "remembrance", and it is the most common type of flower chosen for tomb sweeping. Generally, ordinary white and yellow chrysanthemums are the main flowers. In recent years, gerbera, aster, daisy, etc. are also more common.
2. Carnation
If you are visiting the grave of a deceased female relative, you can choose red or pink carnations. Red represents deep love and admiration, while pink represents maternal love. But it is not appropriate to give only carnations as a gift; it is best to pair them with other flowers. 3. Calla Lily
If you are visiting the grave of a deceased friend, you can choose white or red calla lilies. Calla lily represents friendship, generally referring to a person's noble character, or praising pure friendship. However, Calla Lily is not a commonly used flower for tomb sweeping, so only a few branches are used.
4. Forget-me-not/White Rose
If you are visiting the grave of a deceased lover, you can choose forget-me-nots or white roses. Forget-me-not is known as "love grass", representing eternal love and memories. Although the flower language of white roses is purity, it is not appropriate to choose red roses for tomb sweeping, so it is better to choose white roses.
