The Han people have the custom of wearing willows and planting willows on Qingming Festival. It has become a taboo not to wear willow trees during Qingming Festival. There are many proverbs in this regard, such as: "If you don't wear willow trees on Qingming Festival, you will turn into a dog when you die." “If you don’t bring willows on Qingming Festival, you will turn into a yellow dog after you die”; “If you don’t wear willows on Qingming Festival, you will turn into a pig or dog after you die”; “If you don’t bring willows on Qingming Festival, your beauty will turn into white hair.” etc. There are also many different theories about the origin of the custom of wearing willows (or carrying willows) and planting willows during Qingming Festival. One theory is that it is related to the Cold Food Festival and the ban on smoking. This comes from the story of Duke Wen of Jin, Chong'er, offering sacrifices to Jie Zitui and ordering every household to plant willow trees and ban fireworks. "Yanjing Sui Shi Ji" says: "Qingming is the Cold Food Festival, also known as the No-Smoking Festival. The ancients attached great importance to it, but people nowadays do not celebrate it. Children only wear willow branches to worship the dead and sweep the graves." Many old local chronicles in Shandong, Henan and other provinces say this. What is Qingming Festival?Qingming Festival, also known as the outing festival, the Qingming Festival, the March Festival, and the ancestor worship festival, is held at the turn of mid-spring and late spring. Qingming Festival has both natural and humanistic connotations. It is both a natural solar term and a traditional festival. Qingming Festival is a major traditional spring festival. Tomb sweeping, sacrifice and commemorating ancestors has been a fine tradition of the Chinese nation for thousands of years. It is not only conducive to promoting filial piety and family affection and awakening the common memory of the family, but also can promote cohesion and identity among family members and even the nation. The Qingming Festival integrates natural solar terms with human customs. It is the unity of the right time, the right place and the right people. It fully reflects the Chinese nation's ancestors' pursuit of the harmonious unity of "heaven, earth and man", and their emphasis on adapting to the time and place and following the laws of nature. The Qingming Festival has rich customs. Tomb sweeping and ancestor worship and outings are the two major ritual themes of the Qingming Festival. These two traditional ritual themes have been passed down in China since ancient times and continue to this day.The new wave of annual fortune in 2019 has already changed.
