Can I burn incense and pray on the fifth day of the third lunar month in 2022 (Tomb-Sweeping Day)?
Qingming Festival is a traditional festival. Whether the Qingming Festival is a good day is also of great concern to everyone. So, let’s take a look at whether we can burn incense and pray on the fifth day of the third lunar month in 2022 (Qingming Festival)? The twelfth lunar month can be divided into four seasons, and the third lunar month is the last month of spring. What else do you want to know about the third month of the lunar calendar? Then come and have a look at Mr. Ink.Can I burn incense and pray on the fifth day of the third lunar month in 2022 (Tomb-Sweeping Day)?Gregorian calendar: April 5, 2022; Lunar calendar: March 5, 2022, Tuesday [Today's Good News]Today, all things are taboo, don't use them for important matters 【Today's taboo】 Today, all things are taboo, don't use them for important matters From [What is Suitable for Today] we can see that everything is taboo on that day and important matters should not be used, so it is not recommended to burn incense and pray for blessings on that day. Why do we plant willows during the Qingming Festival?Reason 1:In some places in northern my country, Qingming Festival, Zhongyuan Festival and Cold Clothes Festival are collectively referred to as the "Three Major Ghost Festivals." Influenced by the Buddhist image of Guanyin holding a willow branch and dipping it in water to save all living beings, many people believe that willow twigs have the effect of exorcising ghosts and evil spirits, and call willow branches "ghost-fearing wood." In the "Qimin Yaoshu" by Jia Sixie of the Northern Wei Dynasty, it is written: "Put willow branches on the door, and all ghosts will not enter the house." Since Qingming is the Ghost Festival, when willow branches sprout, people would plant willow branches and wear willow branches to ward off evil spirits. Reason 2: In memory of Jie Zitui. Jie Zitui burned himself under a big willow tree to show his loyalty and chastity, which made Duke Wen of Jin and his ministers and people very sad. The next year, when Duke Wen of Jin led his ministers to climb the mountain to pay tribute to Jie Zitui, they discovered that the old willow tree that had been burned that year had come back to life. Duke Wen of Jin immediately named the old willow tree "Qingming Willow" and broke off a few willow branches on the spot and wore them on his head to express his remembrance. From then on, officials and common people followed suit and it became a trend. Planting willows and wearing willows on Qingming Festival became a symbol of commemorating Jie Zitui. |
