    Not reallyFeudal superstitions, all said that this is a custom, then its practical more straightforward words are oneA sense of ritualA sense of ritual is a habit that has been formed by people's experiences over the years. Therefore, it cannot be said that it is feudal superstition at all. We go home to the grave every year so that we can have peace of mind as future generations, and at the same time, we hope that our ancestors can give us blessings and have a good omen in the coming year.

    In ancient times, people's science and technology were underdeveloped. Encountering some natural lines that cannot be explained clearly, especially about how people came to be, has always been a very important problem that puzzled ancient people。In order to explain this phenomenon, it is natural to spread the theory that God created man.

    So they imagined the existence of gods.

    Whether there is a good result in a year is watched over by the gods, and they also believe that there will be a soul, and after death, the soul is out of the body.

    If you have done all the bad things in this life, then you have to go to the underworld and suffer from Yama.

    Impermanent beating, living a very miserable life every day. And if you have done good deeds and are a great good person, you can be reincarnated very well, and even if you are touched by the heavens, you will become immortals.

    These descendants naturally hope that their ancestors are good people, the kind with divine powers, and burn some paper money on their graves to worship their ancestors. It is possible to obtain the blessing of the gods, the favor of God, and the wind and rain will be smooth in a year. It is this idea that people have gradually come to have the custom of going back to their hometown to sweep the grave every New Year, which is also a traditional festival that was born.

    That's Qingming Festival. During the Qingming Festival, many people will go to the graves of their ancestors to make sacrifices, and in those cities, some people will also go to those temples to burn incense and pray for blessings. The reason for this,In general, I hope to have a good omen in this year, and I can rely on it spiritually.

    Personally, I think this should not be regarded as feudal superstition, going to the grave during the festival is a kind of nostalgia and sacrifice for the ancestors, this is done to make our own feelings of longing have something to rely on, if this is also superstition, then what do we miss our dead relatives.
