1, sweeping the grave

Every year around Tomb-Sweeping Day, every family goes for an outing in the suburbs to sweep the graves for their ancestors. It mainly hoes the graves of ancestors, and some people will plant an evergreen pine and cypress or other trees next to the graves. The last procedure of sweeping the grave is to press paper, that is, to press some money paper on the head of the tomb to show that the tomb has been swept by future generations, or to show passers-by: there are future generations sleeping here!

Step 2 break pine branches

After sweeping the grave, we must break the pine branches and put them in front of our house to show people that our family has fulfilled the responsibility of paying homage to our ancestors. There is not only the custom of breaking pine branches, but also the custom of breaking willows and inserting willows. What these customs have in common is that they imply good luck.

Step 3 Make "Bobo _"

Before and after Tomb-Sweeping Day, every household in Fuzhou had to make spinach _, also known as Qingming _, which was made by mashing spinach into turquoise juice, infiltrating glutinous rice pulp and kneading it into skin, and kneading it into stuffing with jujube paste, red bean paste, mung bean or shredded carrot. Second, the cultural significance of Tomb-Sweeping Day:
