Qingming Festival is an important traditional festival in my country, which has great significance in remembering ancestors and paying homage to ancestors. Commemorative activities are held in front of the tomb to show respect and remembrance of the deceased. Collective tomb sweeping usually pays homage to heroes, leaders, and martyrs who have contributed to the nation, while family or individual tomb sweeping usually pays homage to deceased family members or relatives. During the memorial ceremony, the soil is cultivated, cleaned, fruits and delicacies are offered, or trees are planted, wreaths are laid, prayers are said, etc. So how much do you know about the custom of sweeping tombs during the Qingming Festival? In China, there is a custom of sweeping tombs during the Qingming Festival. Let us learn about the customs of sweeping tombs during the Qingming Festival.

Qingming Festival is one of the most important traditional festivals in China. On this festival, people pay homage to their ancestors, remember the martyrs, realize the value of life, remove the dry branches and dead leaves left by their ancestors, and retain the new shoots that can be used for reference. Tomb-sweeping season during the Qingming Festival is approaching. No matter where you are, you will always go to the cemetery to pay homage to your ancestors to express your feelings of missing them.

1. Tomb-sweeping Day sacrifices are filial piety to ancestors

Qingming Festival is an activity to worship the deceased. The Qingming Festival is very important. In China, or in the eyes of the Chinese, ancestor worship is bound to filial piety. If you do not participate in ancestor worship, you are an unfilial person and a person who has forgotten your ancestors.

The Qingming Festival means worshiping the mountains. Many cemeteries in Jiangnan and the south are on the mountains, so they are called worshiping the mountains. In the north, it is commonly known as tomb sweeping or visiting graves.

2. Are there ethnic differences in tomb-sweeping during the Qingming Festival?

Tomb-sweeping during the Qingming Festival is called "respecting the ancestors" and is the biggest day for ancestor worship and tomb-sweeping in our country. Therefore, most of the Han people and some ethnic minorities in my country sweep tombs during the Tomb Sweeping Day. However, friends are reminded that some ethnic groups also carry out similar activities on other days.

3. What is the usual procedure for sweeping tombs during the Qingming Festival?

According to custom, the order of sacrifice and sweeping is to first sweep the tomb, that is, clean the cemetery.

The second is sacrifice. This procedure is very important. One is to express grief, and the other is to relate to the ancestors, because the mountains have spirits but no owners, and the ancestors have owners but no spirits. It is necessary to relate to the ancestors. Feeling can better capture the aura of mountains and rivers. Remind friends that this is Feng Shui.

When sweeping the tomb, people bring wine, food, fruits, paper money and other items to the cemetery, offer the food in front of the tomb of their relatives, burn the paper money, put new soil on the tomb, trim the tomb, and break a few new green branches. Insert it on the grave, and press some paper money on it, so that others can see it and know that there are descendants of this grave, and then kowtow and worship. Shi Yuan Yixue public account.

Afterwards, people can sit around and have a meal and drink; they can also fly kites, or even compete with each other and engage in related activities. Women and children also need to fold some willow branches nearby and tie the removed steamed food offerings with wickers. Some people braid willow sticks into a basket shape and wear them on their heads, saying, "If you don't wear willow during Qingming Festival, you will become a yellow dog in the next life."

That is: modify the cemetery - burn incense - offer food - toast - pay homage - set off firecrackers to say goodbye?

4. Is the earlier the Qingming Tomb Sweeping, the better

There are two time issues involved here:

First, is it possible to sweep the tomb on the day of Qingming Festival or at any time before or after? Is the earlier the better?

As long as it is done during Qingming Festival It can be done during the festival, it depends on your convenience. Of course, there are some local customs in various places, and we must respect these customs. Also, for some customs, there are some differences in the time between sweeping the graves of relatives who have died within a year and sweeping the graves of relatives who have died for more than a year. Remind friends to abide by relevant local customs.

Second, is the earlier the specific time to set off on the day of tomb sweeping, the better?

The answer is not necessarily true. It depends on your own situation. It is best to do it between 5 and 7 o'clock, which is Mao hour. . In the ancient calendar, it was one. Of course, it is usually not that early now, but I would like to remind my friends that it is best to complete the Qingming Mountain Worshiping Activity before three o'clock in the afternoon, because the Yang Qi has gradually faded and the Yin Qi has gradually increased. If you are a person with low fortune, it is easy to cause trouble. Haunted or harassed by evil spirits.
