Should we visit graves during the winter solstice?During the Tang and Song dynasties, the winter solstice was the day to worship heaven and ancestors. The emperor would go to the suburbs to hold a grand ceremony to worship heaven, and the people would worship their parents and elders on this day. In addition to each family worshipping their own direct ancestors, all families with "ancestral halls" or "ancestral temples" would hold a sacrificial ceremony together, which was called the winter solstice. Nowadays, some places still celebrate the winter solstice, which has gradually extended to tomb sweeping.According to the "Book of Zhou: Spring Officials and Gods", "When the winter solstice comes, worship the gods and ghosts." It seems that the winter solstice sacrificial activities have been carried out since the Zhou Dynasty. The "Monthly Orders for the Four Classes of People" of the Han Dynasty recorded that on the day of the winter solstice, millet cakes should be used as offerings to worship gods and ancestors. Everyone would drink and eat together, and also send blessings to teachers and the elderly. The customs were the same as those on the first day of the Lunar New Year. So it is possible to visit the graves during the Winter Solstice, but the customs vary from place to place. Some places require visiting the graves while others do not. Tomb-sweeping is meant to express grief and remember the deceased, and there are no restrictions on the time. |
