    There is a folk saying, called "people look for ghosts in the Qingming season, and ghosts look for people in the middle and Yuan seasons".

    Therefore, on the Qingming Festival every year, in order to make the deceased relatives not lonely and make their resting place safe, they go to the grave to sweep the grave, burn yellow and white, that is, burn paper money, hang paper money, in order to commemorate the ancestors, proving that the resting people here still have descendants to care, and others dare not break ground on the grave and affect the ancestors, so it is a spring sacrifice; In the middle of the Yuan Dynasty, after people are industrious for two seasons, no matter what crops of fresh products will be out of the market, the Chinese nation is a filial piety nation, there are good things to let the ancestors taste first, so please come back to taste the soul of the ancestors to taste the fresh products, so there is an autumn festival. Whether it is a spring festival or an autumn festival, in the process of worshipping ancestors, we can perform supernatural rituals on our ancestors for generations. From the Taoist point of view, transcendence is to invite the ancestors or some Taoist immortals through the mage's own internal refining to rescue the souls of the dead who have sunk in the underworld or the souls who are still stranded in the world, and then through the guidance of the gods, I hope that the souls of the dead will ascend to the Eastern Qinghua Elysium as soon as possible.

    Generally speaking, transcendence liberates the soul of the dead, and it is a good deed of immeasurable merit for both you and the mage who is doing the deeds.

    Nowadays, when Qingming is approaching, we go to worship our ancestors in order to make offerings to the souls of our ancestors in this process. In addition, not everyone can go home to worship their ancestors on the Qingming Festival, in order to be able to provide convenience for the good believers in other places, so over the years, the Taoist palace will hold a festival on the Qingming Festival to surpass the ancestors of the past dynasties and surpass the death of the lonely soul treasure, so that all the dead souls can be liberated. The so-called transcendent merits and the seven Xuan and nine ancestors will shade future generations.

    Ancestor worship is the fastest way to change your luck.

    In terms of time, the spring festival is the main ancestor worshipper. The fortune of the first half of the year, the fortune of the second half of the autumn festival ancestor worshipper.

    Whenever there are two festivals of Qingming and Zhongyuan, we have to go to the ancestral grave to burn paper and send money to deceased relatives, which is a Chinese custom and a method of filial piety to children to mourn their relatives. But there is one point, not many people know now, burning paper money to the grave of relatives, and sending sorrow to filial piety at the same time, their luck will also change!
