A talk about paying homage to mother-in-law during Qingming Festival

It’s cold and rainy and snowy on the festival day. It coincides with the mother-in-law Sanqi, and the new tactics are even more sad.

It’s cold and rainy and snowy on the festival day. It coincides with the mother-in-law Sanqi, and the new tactics are even more sad. Light a stick of fragrance and recall the past, with the sounds and appearances in front of your eyes. The road is short and difficult, and life and death are in a blink of an eye. Scattering and gathering, crying and laughing, turning into clouds and smoke. There should be no regrets, joys and sorrows are difficult to reconcile in ancient times. I will never forget my hardworking life, and I will even envy the nine ranks of the Spring and Autumn Period, holding hands to spend the passing years. The green pines and green trees in the strange fields make me sleep together forever.

Qingming Festival is an important festival in our country’s traditional culture and the fifth of the twenty-four solar terms. This festival is usually held on April 4 or 5 every year.
