Why do we sweep tombs and worship our ancestors on Double Ninth Festival?The Double Ninth Festival is one of the four major traditional Chinese festivals for ancestor worship. In ancient times, people had a tradition of worshiping their ancestors and praying for blessings. The traditional custom of ancestor worship on the Double Ninth Festival in ancient times is still popular in the Lingnan area, and people hold ancestor worship activities on the Double Ninth Festival every year.The Double Ninth Festival, which falls on the ninth day of the ninth month of the lunar calendar every year, is a traditional Chinese festival. "Double Ninth Festival" is also called "Double Nine" because "nine" is defined as a yang number in the "Book of Changes". September 9th is the same as the previous day, and two nines are repeated, so it is called "Double Ninth Festival". The ancients believed that Double Ninth Festival was an auspicious day worthy of celebration. Celebrating the Double Ninth Festival generally includes traveling to enjoy the autumn scenery, climbing high places to have a distant view, admiring chrysanthemums, planting dogwood branches everywhere, eating Double Ninth Cakes, and drinking chrysanthemum wine. Later it also became a festival to worship ancestors. The Double Ninth Festival was formed as early as the Warring States Period. Since the Wei and Jin Dynasties, the atmosphere of the Double Ninth Festival has become increasingly strong and has been sung by literati and poets of all generations. In the Tang Dynasty, it was officially designated as a folk festival and has been passed down from dynasty to dynasty since then. On the Double Ninth Festival and the third day of March, families go out for spring outings together. On the Double Ninth Festival, all relatives have to climb high places together to avoid disasters. What are the customs of ancestor worship on Double Ninth Festival?1. The order of tomb sweeping is to sweep the tomb first, that is, to clean the cemetery. The second is sacrifice, which is a crucial procedure. First, it is to express grief, and second, it is to communicate with ancestors. Because mountains have spirits but no masters, and ancestors have masters but no spirits, communicating with ancestors can better obtain the spiritual energy of mountains and rivers. This is Feng Shui. When sweeping 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, and put some paper money on top so that others can see that there are still descendants in this grave, and then kowtow and pay their respects.2. Ancestor worship should be performed in person at the cemetery, but due to various reasons, many people cannot return to their hometown to participate in the grave worship activities, so you can also worship your ancestors at home. The method is to place food for worship on the balcony or in the living room towards the direction of your hometown, burn three incense sticks, bow three times, and silently recite relevant words. Then, paper money is burned as a sacrifice. 3. When you start to sweep the graves, it is best not to eat or to eat vegetarian food, and to dress neatly to show courtesy and respect to the ancestors. As the saying goes, "A good fate is not as good as good luck." A person's destiny is already determined, and the only thing that can be controlled is his or her "luck."
