What are your special customs during the Qingming Festival?

Sweep the graves to pay homage to the ancestors, eradicate weeds, place offerings, offer incense and prayers in front of the grave, burn paper money and gold ingots, or simply offer a bouquet of flowers to express the memory of the ancestors.

Sweeping the tomb is a custom of our Qingming Festival, because we are still buried on the mountain, so if we sweep the tomb, we must go to the mountain to sweep the tomb, and often have to bring a sickle to open the way.

In our place, we have to go to the grave of the deceased old man on the Qingming Festival, and then after going to the grave, I can't go to my relatives' house to eat, I have to go home to eat, and it is also popular to eat Qingtuanzi on the Qingming Festival.

During the Qingming Festival, some rice wine and rice will be used, and then it will be made into a round shape and buckled in a bowl, and then placed on the grave, and they will be given lamps at night.

In my hometown, during the Qingming Festival, boys are required to sweep the tombs of their ancestors, and girls are not allowed to sweep the tombs of their ancestors, I think this custom is very special, and girls do not need to go back to their hometowns, only boys need to go back to their hometowns.

During the Qingming Festival, you can't visit relatives and friends, you have to stay in your own home, and before the Qingming Festival, you have to go out to go to the grave of the old people who have passed away at home and sweep the grave.

A few days before the Qingming Festival, we will add some soil to the grave. This expresses our longing for the frightening loss and some sustenance for them, which is a custom that has been passed down here for a long time.

For example, you can't do Qingming three days before the Qingming Festival, this custom has been passed down from a very early age to the present, and then the girls in the tomb sweeping family are not allowed to go.

I remember that every year during the Qingming Festival, the family would make a kind of cake like that, that is, the kind of cake that was steamed in a pot with wild vegetables from outside and noodles from home.

Qingming Festival, also known as the Qingqing Festival, Xingqing Festival, March Festival, Ancestor Worship Festival, etc., is a traditional grand spring festival, which belongs to a cultural traditional festival of chasing the distance carefully, respecting ancestors and promoting filial piety. There are many customs of Qingming Festival, all over the country due to different regional cultures and there are differences in the content of customs or details, although the customs are not the same, but sweeping the tomb to worship the ancestors, stepping on the green is the common basic theme of etiquette.

2. Qingming has both natural and humanistic connotations, which is not only a natural solar term, but also a traditional festival. The Qingming Festival integrates solar terms and folk customs, which is the unity of time, place and people. The Qingming ritual culture fully embodies the Chinese ancestors' pursuit of the harmonious unity of "heaven, earth and man", and pays attention to the idea of conforming to the time and place and following the laws of nature.

According to archaeological research, the tomb posture of the Qingtang site in Yingde, Guangdong Province 10,000 years ago shows that the ancestors 10,000 years ago had a clear conscious tomb behavior and etiquette concept. The Qingming Festival mainly worships the ancestors, expresses the filial piety of the sacrificers and the feelings of missing the ancestors, and is a cultural tradition of respecting the ancestors and chasing the distance carefully.

The customs of the Qingming Festival include banning fires, sweeping tombs, and a series of customs and activities such as walking, swinging, tomb sweeping, kicking and bowing, playing polo, and planting willows.

There are many traditional festivals and customs during the Qingming Festival, among which I think the more meaningful activity is planting willows, which means planting trees. "It rains a lot during the Qingming Festival", which means that there is more rain before and after the Qingming Festival, and the survival rate is relatively high if you plant trees, and the significance of planting trees is still relatively large. The Qingming Festival is a great opportunity to learn about ancient Chinese culture and carry forward Han culture.
