Introduction: We all know that Qingming Festival is an important traditional festival in my country. On this day, we will visit the tombs of our ancestors or deceased relatives with our relatives. But some people also choose to go out for an outing during the Qingming Festival! So what is the origin of outing on Qingming Festival? Are there any Feng Shui do's and don'ts when going out for an outing? Let’s take a look together below! March is the last month of spring, when all things will revive and begin a beautiful growth process. The third month of the lunar calendar is a time full of vitality because it is the most beautiful.Origin of Qingming OutingDuring the Qingming Festival, spring is back. People take the opportunity to visit the graves and have fun in the countryside with their families, young and old. On the way home, they pick a few willow branches with newly budding leaves and wear them on their heads, feeling very happy. Some people also go to nature during the Qingming Festival to appreciate and experience the vibrant spring scenery, and go hiking in the suburbs to express their depressed mood since the severe winter. This outing is also called spring outing, and in ancient times it was called "Exploring Spring" or "Searching for Spring". Its meaning is to walk on the green grass, play in the countryside, and enjoy the spring scenery.The period around Qingming Festival is a good time for outing, so it has become an important part of Qingming Festival customs. In ancient times, women were not allowed to travel casually on weekdays. Tomb-sweeping Day was a rare opportunity for an outing, so women had more fun on Qingming Festival than men. There is a saying among the people that "Qingming Festival is for women and New Year is for men." Spring outing is also called spring outing, exploring spring, and searching for spring. In the spring when the flowers and grass turn green, they go hiking in the countryside together, play various games and play activities such as kicking football, swinging on the swings, and flying kites. The custom of outing in spring has a long history in China. Legend has it that it was formed as early as the pre-Qin period, while some say it began in the Wei and Jin dynasties. According to the "Book of Jin", every spring, people would go to the suburbs in groups to enjoy the spring scenery, and this practice was especially prevalent during the Tang and Song dynasties. According to the "Old Book of Tang", "In the second year of Dali, on the day of Renwu in February, I went to Kunming Lake for an outing." It can be seen that the custom of outing in spring has long been popular. In the Song Dynasty, outing became popular. The genre painting Along the River During the Qingming Festival by the Song Dynasty painter Zhang Zeduan vividly depicts the lively scene during the Qingming Festival centered on the Bian River outside Bianjing. In this scroll, there are more than 550 people, more than 50 livestock, more than 20 boats, and more than 20 carriages and sedan chairs. The grand occasion of outing on Qingming Festival can be seen from this. Du Fu, a poet in the Tang Dynasty, once recorded the grand scene of the royal family's spring outing, "On the third day of March, the sky and the earth are new, and there are many beautiful women by the water in Chang'an." Over the past thousands of years, outing has gradually become a ritual. "If you don't have fun in spring, you'd be a fool." Bai Juyi's poem "Spring Outing" is a portrayal of this state of mind. Do's and Don'ts for Outing:1. It is not advisable to travel to remote areas or places where there are few people. Most of these places have heavy yin energy. If a person is in a weak body, he may attract unclean things, so try to go to popular places. From a safety perspective, this also helps avoid accidents.2. When going out for fun, it is best to return before the sun sets. This is also to prevent weak people from being attacked by Yin energy as Yang energy declines and Yin energy rises in the wild. 3. It is not advisable to travel alone, but it is better to travel in groups. Warm reminder: Qingming Festival coincides with the high incidence period of influenza and various diseases. Therefore, you must pay attention to food hygiene and safety during your travels, and pay attention to the combination of work and rest to prevent bad aura from affecting your own fortune. It is recommended to wear blessed amulets, bracelets and other lucky items to help you have a smooth journey. Finally, I wish my friends to have a good mood and good luck in this bright spring day. Summary: The above is about the origin and do’s and don’ts of outing on Qingming Festival. Friends who choose to go out for an outing can refer to it and pay attention to it! I hope this article is helpful to everyone! |
