The annual Tomb-Sweeping Day is coming again. This is a sad and nostalgic festival.
The traditional Tomb-Sweeping Day in China began in the Zhou Dynasty and has a history of more than 2,500 years. Tomb-Sweeping Day is first of all a very important solar term. As soon as Tomb-Sweeping Day arrives, the temperature rises, which is a good season for spring ploughing and planting. Therefore, there is a saying that "melons and beans are planted before and after Qingming". Agricultural proverb "Planting trees is not as clear as Qingming". Later, as the days of Qingming and cold food approached, cold food was the day when people banned fire to sweep graves. Gradually, cold food and Qingming became one, and cold food became another name of Qingming and became a custom of Qingming. On Qingming Day, there are no fireworks, only cold food.
Tomb-Sweeping Day, we have the custom of hanging green in Hunan, that is, tying a bunch of white and shiny paper flowers in front of the tomb to show our memory and praise for the deceased. Some people even burn paper and houses in front of graves. These are all used to burn the dead, expressing the desire of the living to let the dead have food and clothing in the underworld.
Now, the country has also passed the regulations of Tomb-Sweeping Day as a national holiday, aiming at encouraging busy city people to go back to their hometowns to visit their graves! ! ! ! So, please take advantage of this rare leisure holiday, bring your family and go back to your hometown to sweep the grave. This is not only a memory of your deceased relatives, but also an expression of gratitude to them. -
