After the offerings were prepared, the family sent the children to the street to buy some colored paper, paper money, and incense foil for later use. The five-color paper comes in five colors: red, yellow, blue, white and black. It is thin and some even have cotton in the middle. After lunch at noon, the housewife cleaned the stove and gathered the family together so that they could go to the grave and burn winter clothes.Worship <br /> When they arrive at the grave, they burn incense and candles, place dumplings and other offerings neatly, and the family members take turns kneeling and kowtowing; then they draw a circle on the grave, place colored paper and paper money inside the circle, and set it on fire. Some families not only burn paper money for the dead, but also burn "luxury goods" such as mansions and cars made of colorful paper. While burning them, they chant: "Mr. XX, you worked hard when you were alive, so enjoy yourself after you die, live in a mansion, drive a BMW, and live a glorious life, so that the King of Hell will be mad to death!" They are afraid that their relatives will not have a good life in the underworld. Some families, when drawing a circle on the grave, remember to add another circle next to it. The purpose is to help those wandering ghosts who have no one to worship them, so that they don't become evil and steal the clothes of their ancestors. Things to note during the Cold Clothes Festival <br /> All clothes and paper money sent to the deceased must be burned. Only when they are burned thoroughly can these papers in the world of the living be transformed into silk, cloth, houses, clothes, and gold, silver, and copper coins in the underworld. As long as there is even a little bit that is not burned out, all previous efforts will be wasted and the deceased cannot use it. Therefore, when burning winter clothes on October 1st, you must be particularly careful and meticulous. Although this action seems funny, it also reflects the living's grief and respect for the deceased and is a kind of spiritual sustenance. When people send winter clothes to their loved ones, they also burn some colored paper at the crossroads to symbolize cloth. The purpose is to help those lonely souls who have no one to worship their ancestors, so that the winter supplies sent to their relatives will not be snatched away by them. The burning of winter clothes is done in front of the deceased's grave in some places, and it is important to visit the grave before the sun rises. In some places, it is customary to burn sacrificial offerings in front of the door. In many places in Yanbei and counties such as Pingyao in Jinzhong, women would cry loudly outside their doors in the evening. There is a poem in Lin County in the old days: "It takes a lot of effort to cut and tailor the clothes made of pasted paper, and they are burned to ashes in the early morning. Is the spring platform really useful to keep out the cold? But I only hear the sad voice!" It not only describes the scene of sending winter clothes, but also questions its legendary effect. There is also a tradition in China that after a family member dies, the younger generation needs to observe mourning for three years. During these three years, they need to wear mourning clothes and then change into their everyday clothes on October 1st of the year when the mourning period is over. In China, many people choose to be buried together, and the ceremony is usually held on October 1st.
