Don't say hello for a few days before and after Qingming, and don't say hello to the copy before and after Qingming.

Many people say that you can't say hello before and after Tomb-Sweeping Day. After all, there are some differences between Tomb-Sweeping Day and other traditional festivals, with different meanings. Let's take a look at the pictures of not greeting Bian Xiao a few days before and after Qingming Festival.

Don't say hello for a few days before and after Qingming

I consulted Li Jianbin, a teacher who has studied folk culture. He thinks that Tomb-Sweeping Day has a lot of contents, besides ancestor worship, there are activities such as outing and enjoying spring. Don't ask "good morning", that means mourning and sacrifice.

"But people go for an outing to fly," busy flying kites while the east wind ",why can't we promise? Du Mu's poem "Qingming Festival" explains well: "It rains a lot during Qingming Festival, and pedestrians on the road want to break their souls. "This refers to the mood of sacrifice." Excuse me, where is the restaurant? The shepherd boy points to Xinghua Village. "This refers to the mood of enjoying spring. I was just about to raise my glass. Why not? "He said.

Therefore, it is one-sided and untenable to say that "you can't ask' good morning' during the Qingming period". "Pear blossoms are clear, and wanderers are out of the spring city." Joy is greater than sorrow, and Qingming is right to ask "good morning".

Teacher Li's explanation is very clear. Tomb-Sweeping Day's folk activities have two major contents, one is ancestor worship, and the other is outing. Sacrificing ancestors is naturally solemn and sad; On an outing, you should let go of your mood and yourself.

Looking at the information again, we rarely see the record of "it rains in succession during the Qingming Festival, so we can't say hello". Many folklore experts believe that it is a popular saying in recent two or three years not to say hello on Qingming morning. In fact, there are many taboos in Qingming, but there is no taboo of not saying hello in the morning. It can be seen that there is no basis for not saying hello in Qingming morning.

This should start from the origin of Qingming. According to some folk chronicles, in ancient times, Tomb-Sweeping Day and the Cold Food Festival were together, which was on the day after the winter solstice 105. It is also known as the No-smoking Festival and the Cold Food Festival, and it was a grave-sweeping day in ancient times. Now, Tomb-Sweeping Day, July 15, 10/day, a few years ago, La Worship had four anniversaries a year. In fact, after the Ming and Qing Dynasties, the Cold Food Festival and Tomb-Sweeping Day were mixed together.

In ancient times, the Cold Food Festival was from winter to the future 105, while in Tomb-Sweeping Day it was from winter to the future 106. It can be seen that the Cold Food Festival comes first and Tomb-Sweeping Day comes last. According to folklore, due to the story of meson tui, the custom of sweeping graves at the Cold Food Festival was formed in the early Tang Dynasty. During the Kaiyuan period, cold food was designated as one of the five rituals and entered the national legal etiquette.

In the Song Dynasty, the custom of sweeping in the Cold Food Festival moved closer to Tomb-Sweeping Day. Tomb-Sweeping Day became a day of sweeping and hiking. At this time, there will be three days off before and after Tomb-Sweeping Day, that is to say, from cold food to Tomb-Sweeping Day, people will pay homage to their ancestral graves for three days. Gradually, Qingming and Cold Food Festival are mixed together. Since most cemeteries are outside the city, people naturally have to have a spring outing after the sacrifice, and it is inevitable that there will be activities such as hiking and picking up green.

Tomb-Sweeping Day in the Ming and Qing Dynasties was much more grand than it is now, with a large number of participants. In Lingtai, Lanzhou, Gansu, Tomb-Sweeping Day often goes out with the whole family; In addition, there are not only sacrificial sweeps, but also activities such as relocation, joint burial and grave addition, which are also held on this day. In some places in Gansu, Tomb-Sweeping Day is usually held on a single day, because a single day is a positive number.

In fact, Tomb-Sweeping Day is not limited to Qingming Day, but wants to find a gentleman to see Feng Shui, and choose it before Qingming Day. Now the pace of life is fast, and most people choose to worship in advance.

In folk customs, there are many taboos in Tomb-Sweeping Day, and most of these ceremonies are at the time of sweeping sacrifices. This is a national event in the eyes of the ancients. Among them: in the cemetery, you can't laugh and play. Don't cross graves and sacrifices, and don't step on other people's graves. Sacrifices should not be placed at will. Sweeping graves in the morning or at noon is the peak of the spirit of the sun. Those who can't go to the cemetery to sacrifice, burn paper at night. In the early years, most families banned women from participating, but now they don't pay attention to these things. Don't visit relatives and friends on the same day before and after Tomb-Sweeping Day. Meanwhile. Don't buy shoes after sweeping the grave, because shoes are evil and unlucky.

Obviously, in the Qingming taboo, it is only about not laughing or slapping, and greeting in the morning is not taboo. Moreover, Tomb-Sweeping Day is mostly held in front of Tomb-Sweeping Day, which has nothing to do with Qingming morning.

Don't say hello before and after Qingming.

0 1 original: Tomb-Sweeping Day can't say "Qingming Happy"

As early as 20 16, a banner in Sichuan caused controversy among netizens:

During the Qingming holiday, a community in Leshan, Sichuan Province hung a banner that read "Happy holidays to all owners!"

Some community owners feel uncomfortable. Later, someone posted photos on the Internet, which triggered a heated debate.

Some people think it is a "unlucky blow", some people think it is a festival of "sweeping graves and mourning", and wishing for "happiness" is not serious, while others don't mind, just follow the crowd and don't say "Qingming Happy".

Is there such a saying as "Tomb-Sweeping Day never asks before or after"?

Tomb-Sweeping Day didn't say "good morning, good evening".

On 20 19, the taboo version was upgraded again, and even good morning greetings were not allowed.

There is a saying circulating in many WeChat groups: During Tomb-Sweeping Day (the first three days, the last four days, a total of seven days), we didn't say hello to each other. It also gives a serious reason: this is the time for the dead to say hello to the underworld.

Expert Interpretation: This is a misunderstanding of "Tomb-Sweeping Day"

Tomb-Sweeping Day was originally one of the 24 solar terms, which was related to farming. Later, traditional cultural festivals such as Cold Food Festival and Shangsi Festival were integrated, which increased the cultural function.

Festival retreat is a commemoration of the Cold Food Festival and has the function of mourning. On Shangsi Festival, there was a custom of going for an outing to offer sacrifices and feasting, so Tomb-Sweeping Day, as a "porter", shouldered all these functions.

Isn't an outing a happy thing?

At first, China people mainly paid homage to their dead relatives during the Mid-Autumn Festival on July 15. Since modern times, the Mid-Autumn Festival has gradually faded, and Tomb-Sweeping Day's function of paying homage to the grave has gradually strengthened. Many people even think that Tomb-Sweeping Day is a festival dedicated to the dead, ignoring the festival connotation of outing, and these rumors have gradually surfaced.

Gao Wei, secretary-general of the Beijing Folklore Society, made it clear in an interview that Qingming can be said to be "Happy Tomb-Sweeping Day", but it has been going on for a long time; Comparatively speaking, "Tomb-Sweeping Day can't be said to be happy" only rose in recent two years. This is controversial because people don't know enough about the meaning of Tomb-Sweeping Day.
