Every year when we go home for the Chinese New Year, we have to go to the grave to pay tribute to our deceased relatives. This is not only a kind of inheritance, but also a necessary part of the festival. The main people I went to the grave to pay respects were my grandparents, grandparents, great-grandparents, and 11 other people.
It's been a habit since I was sensible. Specifically, there are the following important points to pay attention to:
1. Do not engage in feudal superstition. When we go to the grave, we generally bring some food, wine and the like to the ancestors, and burn some incense paper in a flat and tidy place, but we must not take them as the mainstream. Many people think that the more firecrackers you set off, the more paper money you burn, the better, but it's not.
2. When going to the grave, it is strictly forbidden to laugh and scold. According to the elders, the cemetery is a place of refuge for the spirits, so it is forbidden to step over the grave and its offerings, laugh and scold, urinate anywhere, trample on other graves, or comment on the design of the tomb, which is considered blasphemous. Not only is this disrespectful to one's ancestors, but it is also a nuisance to nearby spirits.
3. When going to the grave, it is strictly forbidden to take photos in the cemetery of the ancestors. Ancestor worship is not just a commemoration of ancestors, but obviously has the meaning of worshiping and praying to the deceased, and taking pictures has a playful and disrespectful meaning. Therefore, it is strictly forbidden to take pictures when going to the grave.
Fourth, after going to the grave, when you are ready to go home, you should pay attention to your body and see if there are any branches and paper money pieces that have unintentionally stuck to your body。If there is, slap it down in time. In the words of the ancients, these things belong to the deceased relatives, and the Hu we take away is to take the things of the deceased, and they will come to claim them back, which is unlucky.
5. When you return home after going to the grave, you should take a bath and wash your clothes. Bathing and washing clothes is not to get rid of bad luck, but to wash away the things left by the deceased and draw a line with them.
In fact, there are many local precautions about going to the grave, such as paying attention to fireworks and avoiding fires. Paying tribute to the ancestors is a kind of ritual, with a strong sense of ritual, we must be serious, not sloppy. Otherwise, there is blasphemy.
-
Be sure to bring some offerings, such as fruit and cookies. It is best to go to the grave on the first or fifteenth day of the Lunar New Year, and not on the even-numbered date such as the second or sixth day of the Lunar New Year. Don't wear brightly colored clothes, it's better to wear white or black clothes.
-
We usually have to bring food and wine to the grave here, burn some incense and paper money, and when we go to the grave, it is forbidden to play and take pictures in the cemetery of our ancestors.
-
It is necessary to pay homage and prepare sacrifices for the ancestors. When we went to the grave, we had to prepare some tribute, and we had to burn paper money, etc.
-
Of course, it was a year ago, if you went after the year, it would be meaningless, after the New Year, the underground people also need to have a sense of ceremony, and they will also accept the money you send, this is the kind of people imagine, in fact, superstitious saying. The person who goes to the grave is actually just a soul, there is nothing at all, he will spend money? What about him in the underworld, that is, people can have a comfort in order to comfort their hearts, and going to the grave is actually a way to remember the lost and dead relatives, to remember them.
It is all custom, for example, it is customary to go to the grave on July 15, but once a year before the New Year, and then go to the cemetery to burn paper, send some paper money to the underground people a kind of self-comfort, people are conscious, people's feelings of missing the loss of relatives will be relieved, because sometimes people think about it every day? Will the relatives have no money at the bottom, so when it comes to the New Year, people are used to going to the grave to burn a piece of paper, so that for the sacrifice of the dead, they have also been comforted in their hearts, and they always feel that this is a heart, I hope they can receive it, and your money can be spent more, as if it is a way to come up with it, in fact, this is also a superstitious statement. For anyone, this is also a kind of online memorial that the country is now advocating, because going to the grave is easy to cause disasters, so the country has now introduced a lot of methods, when going to the grave, people can use the way of memorial to directly publish the words of mourning on the Internet, words to pay tribute to the deceased relatives, this kind of ceremony feels recommended by memorial, but what if you go in person?
For some elderly people who are not good at legs and feet, it is better to go as little as possible, and young people are also trekking through mountains and rivers, which is very troublesome, and it is recommended that the way advocated by modern countries is recommended. Using the online method can be said to be more user-friendly and safer.
For the lost loved ones, people pay tribute.

The Spring Festival grave is generally allowed from the 23rd year of the lunar month to the 30th Chinese New Year's Eve, so it can be about a week in advance. Chinese New Year's Eve ancestor worship is one of the traditional customs in China that have been handed down to this day. On the one hand, it originates from the traditional concept of "filial piety first" and "chasing the distance in the end", expressing filial piety and nostalgia to the ancestors and ancestors on the occasion of saying goodbye to the old and welcoming the new; On the other hand, it is due to the belief that ancestral gods can bless future generations and make them prosperous.

We Chinese have a saying: filial piety comes first. Every New Year's holiday, children and grandchildren will go to the ancestors' graves to burn incense, burn paper, and offer sacrifices to show their respect for the ancestors and their filial piety, so as to seek the safety of the family.
New Year is a traditional festival for Chinese, and it is a day for the whole country to celebrate, but there are many graves in the New Year's Festival, so what are they? Or if you don't have time, can you sweep the grave in advance?
First, the time aspect. In fact, depending on the place, the time will be different. In our Luliang area of Shanxi, the best time to sweep the grave for the New Year is on the morning of the first day of the Lunar New Year, on this morning, the children and grandchildren who return to their hometown for the New Year will bring things prepared one day in advance to sweep the grave and offer sacrifices; In general, it is forbidden to worship in advance.
Second, the sacrificial aspect of the East and the West. Like oranges, etc., because the meaning is not good, it means "absolute son", so ordinary people will not sacrifice oranges when sweeping graves; In addition, there are pears, pears and separation is homonym, if the pears are brought when sweeping the grave, it means to separate from the ancestors, as unfilial piety, but those who do not know are not guilty, we need to slowly understand these customs, according to the local customs.
Third, in terms of dressing, going to the grave is a lot of exquisiteness, and going to the grave during the New Year is quite a lot, because sweeping the grave and offering sacrifices is a serious matter, so we try not to wear red and purple clothes when we go to sweep the grave, and try to wear plain and elegant.
I feel that worship is originally a psychological peace given to by the living, as long as I have filial piety and sincerity, in fact, there is not so much exquisiteness, that is the remnants of feudal superstition, do you think it's right?

The emphasis on each place is different, we do not allow girls to go to the grave here, pregnant people are not allowed to go, people who come to menstruation are not allowed to go, children under the age of 12 cannot go, and they cannot go to the grave casually during normal times; It's not okay to be particular on our side.

When you go to the grave during the New Year, you can't go to the grave more than 12 noon, you can't dress too brightly when you go to the grave, you should prepare some sacrifices, you should go to the grave more seriously, but you can't prepare meat food. It is not allowed to be advanced, because it is a custom to go to the grave during the New Year.
-
Pay attention to choose the morning of Chinese New Year's Eve as much as possible, and pay attention to the worship procedure, first buy offerings, then drink, then light incense, and finally burn paper, and then set off fireworks when everything is over; It is not possible to go to the grave early, preferably on the morning of Chinese New Year's Eve.

The specific time depends on the situation in each place.
Going to the grave during the New Year is commonly known as 'tomb sacrifice', which is one of the forms of paying tribute to the ancestors. Chinese people have a tradition of chasing the distance cautiously, and they never forget to worship their dead ancestors during the festival, and the Spring Festival is no exception. Offering food or flowers as a token of gratitude is a common ritual in China, and the form of ancestor worship may vary depending on religious beliefs, but the meaning of honoring ancestors is the same.
One of the main contents of family rituals. According to the folk concept, one's ancestors, like heaven, earth, gods, and Buddhas, should be worshiped seriously. Because the "spirits in heaven" of the ancestors are always caring for and watching the descendants of future generations, earthly people should pray and repay their protection and blessings through sacrifices.
During the Spring Festival, you must worship your ancestors, remember your ancestors, and inspire future generations. However, due to the different customs in different places, some places worship before the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner; In some places, worship around Chinese New Year's Eve; In some places, worship in front of the opening of the house on the morning of the first day of the new year; In Taiwan, on the afternoon of Chinese New Year's Eve, ancestor worship is held for the last time of the year. In some places, after worshipping at home on the first day of junior high school, you have to go to the ancestral hall to worship your ancestors.
There are also those who go to the grave to worship their ancestors, commonly known as tomb sacrifices, mainly to burn incense, make offerings, and bow down in the cemetery. In modern times, it is common to go to the cemetery of relatives to pay respects.
Returning home for the Chinese New Year is a starting thing, and it is naturally very fun to bring gifts to your family. We need to care more about our families, whether it is a holiday or a normal day, gifts can show our concern, but not all gifts can. My grandfather has been a little sullen lately, always nagging me about the past, his expression is a little intriguing when he speaks, and he will smile like a child, but I can see the sorrow on my grandfather's forehead more clearly, whether I haven't seen it before or I have never noticed it. >>>More

If I had been urged to marry, I would have rejected the people in my family. Because my own character is particularly dislike to be urged to marry, I think two people must have the existence of love to be able to get married, even if they are older, they can't compromise, because I don't want to bet on my future happiness, so no matter who urges me to marry, I will politely refuse them, in fact, this method will not hurt our relatives, but just convey our own meaning to them. Of course, everyone's personality is different, and in addition to this method, there are several other methods, which I think are also good: >>>More
This is a contradictory topic, think about it, there is actually a problem of communication with your parents, for example, you have been back once before, and the time spent is relatively long, so that your parents can also know that your filial piety and you are not easy outside, from the parents, it is enough to go back to see them for a long time, and usually report safety and so on, at least I think so, if you go back at the end of the year, there are indeed a lot of practical problems there, such as tickets are not easy to buy, Go back to the New Year, the funds can be imagined, so mail 1k yuan to your parents, choose not to go back to feel more in line with your current situation, of course, if you are on your own or go back, save yourself alone outside, this feeling of 30 years is very uncomfortable. I have personal experience, think about it for yourself, what I said is just for reference.
Yes, you're right! Money can be earned again, but some things, some people, may disappear at any time, and then they will never be found again. Think about how much time you have left to spend with your family, see each other a few times a year, and don't leave irreparable regrets in your heart.
