You must know the precautions for tomb sweeping during the Qingming Festival! What s the point?

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. Qingming sacrifices can be divided into tomb sacrifices and ancestral hall sacrifices according to the different places of sacrifice. The tomb sacrifice is the most common, and the characteristic of the Qingming sacrifice is the tomb sacrifice, and the Qingming sacrifice is called tomb sweeping, mainly due to the tomb sacrifice method.

Another form is the ancestral hall sacrifice, also known as the temple sacrifice, which is a way for people of a clan to gather in the ancestral hall to worship their ancestors, and to have a meeting and dinner after the sacrifice, this kind of sacrifice is a way to reunite the people. [13-14] [49-50]

Qingming sacrifices are different from place to place before and after Qingming. Qingming ancestors, according to custom, generally set off to sweep the tomb on the morning of the Qingming Festival. The method or project of Baiqing varies from place to place, and the common practice consists of two parts:

One is to renovate the tomb, and the other is to hang and burn paper money and offer sacrifices. The first step in sweeping the grave is to remove weeds, add new soil, and then prostrate and worship. On the one hand, this behavior can express the filial piety and care of the sacrificers to the ancestors, on the other hand, in the belief of the ancients, the tombs of the ancestors have a great relationship with the rise and fall of future generations, so the cultivation of tombs is a memorial content that cannot be ignored.

The offerings are mainly food, and the varieties vary from place to place, all of which are considered by the locals to be delicacies that can be obtained according to the financial ability of the sacrificers, or special foods that suit the season.

1. Pregnant women should avoid sweeping graves.

It is best for pregnant women to avoid tomb sweeping activities during Qingming, which is not only the effect of heavy yin qi. In other respects, the Qingming season is very crowded, for the safety of the fetus, it is not recommended for pregnant women to participate, and the weather and surrounding environment of tomb sweeping are not conducive to the health of pregnant women. In addition, women have periods and should also avoid such activities.

2. Photographs are not allowed in the cemetery.

The purpose of everyone to visit the tomb is to worship the ancestors, not to have fun. There are gods in the head, when everyone sweeps the tomb, it is best to be respectful, concentrate and be cautious, do not take a group photo in the cemetery, or even take pictures at will, otherwise it will attract a bad aura, there is a possibility of yin and yang imbalance, and it will damage the fortune of the individual.

3. Do not cover your forehead and avoid buying shoes.

In fact, Qingming Festival is also considered a ghost festival, and it is necessary to pay attention to it in terms of hairstyles. In particular, the hair should not cover the forehead, which is the magic lamp of the human body, and cannot be covered. At the same time, shoes should not be purchased on the same day, because shoes are the same as evil, and most friends with a little common sense will not buy shoes on this day, so as not to be unlucky.

1) Tomb sweeping customs on Qingming Festival.

Qingming Festival is a traditional festival to commemorate ancestors, and its main form is to worship ancestors and sweep tombs. This custom has been around for a long time, and according to historical records, during the Qin and Han dynasties, tomb sacrifices have become an indispensable ritual activity. The Book of Han

According to the Biography of Yan Yannian, even if the Yan family is thousands of miles away from Beijing, he will be in Qingming"Return to the East China Sea sweeping cemetery"。With the increasing development and strengthening of ancestor worship and kinship consciousness, tomb sacrifices that were not included in the norms in ancient times were also included"Five Rites"Medium:"Shishu home, it is advisable to go to the tomb, and the five rites are compiled, which is always the norm.

The admiration of the imperial court made tomb offerings more popular. The ancients had poems describing tomb sweeping during the Qingming Dynasty:"There are many cemeteries on the north and south hills, and the Qingming Festival sweeps each other; Paper ashes fly into white butterflies, tears and blood stain red cuckoos.

There is also a popular song about Meng Jiangnu's husband-seeking song"In March, it is Qingming, peach, willow green, and grass green; Other graves are covered with white paper, but my graves are deserted. "The famous sentence of Du Mu in the Tang Dynasty:"During the Qingming Festival, it rains a lot, and pedestrians on the road want to break their souls.

These poems all reflect the scene and atmosphere of the tomb sweeping during the Qingming Dynasty at that time.

Why do you want to sweep the tomb in Qingming? This is probably because winter turns to spring, and plants and trees sprout. People thought about the tombs of their ancestors, whether there were foxes and rabbits piercing holes, and whether they would collapse due to the rainy season, so they had to go and inspect them in person.

During the ritual sweep, weeds are removed from the grave, new soil is added, offerings are made, incense is burned, paper money is burned, or slips of paper are hung on the branches of trees, and simple rituals are held to express the remembrance of the deceased. As for the date of the sacrifice, the customs vary from place to place, some are ten days before and after the Qingming Festival; Some are called"The first three and the last three"；Some meet before and after Qingming"Single"days to be held; In some places, grave sweeping activities can last for up to a month.

2) Sweep the tombs of martyrs.

Worshipping ancestors and sweeping tombs during the Qingming Festival is a concrete manifestation of the Chinese nation's cautious pursuit of the distance, harmony with the family and filial piety. Since ancient times, tomb sweeping during the Qingming Festival is not only to commemorate his ancestors, but also to the people who have made meritorious contributions to the people and done good deeds in history. Sweeping the tombs of martyrs and the monuments to revolutionary martyrs on the Qingming Festival has become a good form of education in revolutionary traditions.

The general activity procedure is: all stand in front of the monument and listen to the leader's speech; Representatives give speeches in front of the monument; All take an oath to the martyrs; laying wreaths at the monument to the heroes of the revolution; Three bows in silence; pay homage to the tombs of martyrs; Visit the exhibition of deeds and remember the great achievements of the revolutionary martyrs.

Etiquette matters to pay attention to: The martyrs' cemetery is solemn and sacred, and it is the place where the revolutionary heroes are buried. The revolutionary martyrs have made great sacrifices for us today, and we went to the martyrs' cemetery to hold a memorial sweeping activity, first of all, we should dress neatly and wear a bright red scarf; The attitude in the activity should be solemn, and you can't laugh and laugh in the martyr's cemetery; It is necessary to participate in the activities with reverence and earnestly understand the deeds of the martyrs; Pay attention to hygiene, do not eat snacks and litter in the cemetery; You can't run around in the cemetery, and you should walk in order and not destroy the grass and green space.

It is best to fast before sweeping the tomb, and when you start to sweep the tomb, it is best not to eat food or vegetarian food, and dress neatly to show politeness and respect for the ancestors. This is also very important, and some friends may need to grieve themselves.

It is best to choose the time to sweep the tomb when the yang energy is relatively strong, that is, after 9 o'clock in the morning to before the afternoon is the best, and complete the Qingming mountain worship activities before 3 o'clock in the afternoon, because at this time the yang energy has gradually subsided, and the yin energy gradually increases.

Five days before and after the Qingming Festival, and on the day of the Qingming Festival, but the tomb cannot be swept on the day of the Cold Food Festival, and the Cold Food Festival is the first day of the Qingming Festival.

After the tomb sweeping is completed, someone takes the child to go, maybe it was solemn at first, and as soon as it is over, it starts to fight and laugh. This is to pay attention to, you must know that the cemetery is after all the place where the yin spirit sleeps, laughing and scolding will disturb the yin spirit, it is a great disrespect, it may lead to revenge, and it is even more undesirable to criticize the ancestors, if you pass by other people's graves, it is a blasphemous act to judge the deceased, and then no one will be in trouble.

Plants that grow on the grave must be removed, and they must not be allowed to grow out of the climate. This is the most important point, but you must know that the so-called tomb sweeping is to let you clean things that are not conducive to the cemetery, and the grass and trees on the grave will cause harm to the members of the family, including luck and health, which are greatly detrimental.

Qingming Festival is a traditional festival in China, and it is also a solemn festival to sweep the tomb and worship the ancestors. Therefore, there are certain particularities and taboos in the Qingming Dynasty to worship the ancestors and sweep the tombs (of course, the customs and habits are different in various places, and some customs and taboos during the Qingming period are also different), so these taboos should be kept in mind, let's take a look at what they are.

What are the taboos of worshipping ancestors and sweeping tombs during the Qingming Festival.

Tomb sweeping time arrangement: There is a saying about the tomb sweeping time, many people will carry out a few days before the Qingming Festival, this is not too much to say, as long as it is during the Qingming Festival, it is convenient to see yourself. Of course, there are some local customs everywhere that we have to respect.

However, it is best to choose to sweep the tomb before noon to 3 pm, like our side is generally after lunch, because noon is the time when the yang energy is the fullest, if you choose to sweep the tomb in the evening, the yang energy gradually declines, and I personally think that it is not suitable to sweep the tomb.

Sacrifices are not taken home: Tomb sweeping is naturally indispensable for sacrifices, such as dark coins, flowers, ingots, etc., these sacrifices are generally not taken home. Under normal circumstances, after purchase, go directly to the field to sweep the tomb, if you have to go home under special circumstances, you can put the sacrifice outside the door or other places, it is best not to take it home.

How do it? I don't think I need to explain too much, or it can be understood as auspicious, after all, everyone knows what those things are used for.

Tomb sweepers don't go: I don't know what the situation is in other places, in our side, general tomb sweeps are not carried by women, especially for pregnant women, if there are no special circumstances, some are still avoided. As for why women can't sweep the graves, I don't say much, I think it's more or less due to traditional ideas and concepts, so it has been passed down to this day, but over time, some customs have gradually been forgotten by people.

The above-mentioned taboo of worshipping ancestors and sweeping tombs only represents some of our local sayings, not all, the so-called ten miles of different winds, hundreds of miles of different customs, different customs and habits in various places, and different taboos. And with the passage of time, some traditional ideas and concepts have gradually faded away. Friends, what do you say about the taboo of worshipping ancestors and sweeping tombs during the Qingming Festival?
