What are the customs of Qingming Festival?Silkworm Flower Festival"Silkworm Flower Festival" is a unique folk culture in the silkworm hometown. In the past, during the Qingming Festival, this folk activity was held in Wutong, Wuzhen, Chongfu, Zhouquan and other places. Among them, the silkworm flower fairs at Ma Ming Temple in Zhouquan and Shuang Miaozhu in Qingshi are the most splendid and grand. Ma Ming Temple is located in the west of Zhouquan Town and is known as the "King of Temples" locally. Every year, the Silkworm Festival is crowded with people and there are frequent activities, including welcoming the Silkworm God, rowing speedboats, making noise on the stage, worshiping on incense stools, boxing, dragon lanterns, high poles, singing operas and more than ten other activities. Some of these activities are carried out on shore, but most of them are carried out on boats, which is very characteristic of the water town. Cockfighting was a popular game during the Qingming Festival in ancient times. It started during the Qingming Festival and lasted until the summer solstice. The earliest record of cockfighting in China can be found in Zuo Zhuan. In the Tang Dynasty, cockfighting became popular. Not only ordinary people fought cockfights, but even the emperor participated in cockfighting. For example, Emperor Xuanzong of Tang loved cockfighting the most. Tomb sweeping on Qingming Festival is called "respect for ancestors" and the custom has a long history. The Ming Dynasty's "A Brief Account of Scenery in the Imperial Capital" records: "On the Qingming Festival in March, men and women sweep the tombs, carrying jugs, with paper mulberry sticks hung behind sedan chairs and horses, filling the streets with people. Those who worship, pour wine, cry, and weed and add soil to the tombs burn paper mulberry sticks and place paper money on the grave. If there is no paper money in sight, then the grave is an isolated one. After crying, people do not return home, but instead go to fragrant trees and choose gardens, where they sit and get drunk." In fact, tomb sweeping existed before the Qin Dynasty, but it was not necessarily during the Qingming Festival. Tomb sweeping on the Qingming Festival is a practice that began after the Qin Dynasty. It only became popular during the Tang Dynasty. "Tongli of Qing Dynasty" says: "Every year, on the Cold Food Festival and the Frost Descent Festival, people visit the graves and tombs. On the appointed time, they wear plain clothes and go to the tombs, bringing wine and food, as well as tools for cutting grass and trees. They trim the trees and cut the weeds, so it is called tomb sweeping." This custom has been passed down to this day. Flying kites is also a favorite activity among people during the Qingming Festival. During the Qingming Festival, people set off fireworks not only during the day but also at night. At night, strings of colorful lanterns are hung under the kite or on the wind-stable pull line. They look like twinkling stars and are called "magic lanterns." In the past, some people would cut the strings after releasing the kites into the blue sky and let the breeze carry them to the ends of the earth. It was said that this would ward off disease and disaster and bring good luck. Summary: The above is [How many days of holiday will we have for Qingming Festival in 2018?
