Qingming Festival, also called Cold Food Festival, is a traditional folk festival in China. Every year, we return to our hometown to worship our ancestors. In our local area, tomb sweeping is called "going to the grave". In the morning, after breakfast, the adults were busy preparing sacrifices. Grandma was busy preparing wine, rice, incense, paper money, grave paper, fruits, etc. for the sacrifice, while Dad and Uncle were busy killing chickens. According to our local customs, roosters must be used for the Qingming Festival sacrifice. Women are busy making Ai Baba. Ai is a very common plant here. It uses its tender leaves and glutinous rice to make a pulp, dries the water, and then pinches it into a ball shape by hand. It is steamed on banana or grapefruit leaves, and the steamed Ai Ba Ba Ba turns dark green, smooth and refreshing, very delicious. It is a necessary sacrifice.Grandma packed the sacrifices one by one into a basket, and we set off. Along the way, adults will remind children to pay attention to some things when worshipping their ancestors, such as waiting for their ancestors to eat before eating, not trampling on their graves, and not saying anything disrespectful to their ancestors. The attitude of adults is very devout, perhaps for them, tomb sweeping during the Qingming Festival is a very serious and sacred thing.

April 5th is the traditional festival of the Chinese nation - Qingming Festival. There is a touching legend about this festival.Legend has it that over two thousand years ago, Duke Wen of Jin was grateful to Jie Zitui for his "cutting flesh to serve the emperor" and wanted to appoint him as a high-ranking official, but Jie Zitui refused every time. Finally, he voluntarily burned himself in the mountains for this. He left a reminder to Duke Wen of Jin to become a wise ruler. Duke Wen of Jin named this day "Qingming Festival" in memory of him. Nowadays, Qingming Festival has gradually evolved into an important festival for people to commemorate their deceased ancestors.
On this day, people in their hometown, no matter how far they work, must rush back to the village, support the elderly and children, and go to the grave together. I was also prepared with my dad and set off with them. First, go to the ancestral tomb. The ancestral tomb is far from my family's cemetery. Under the guidance of the elders, we have successively worshipped the Later Earth God, the founder of the mountain, and our ancestors. Then take a detour to another mountain to worship my ancestors, grandparents, and grandparents. When worshipping, first offer lentils, tofu, braised pork, rice, tea, wine, and fruits in front of the tombstone, light three columns of fragrant incense, burn some paper money, and then kowtow three times and nine times, praying that the deceased ancestors bless their descendants with a smooth and safe year.
This day is the happiest time for us, not only to see our uncles and aunts who are out, but also to see our lovely cousins. Along the way, adults talked and laughed; And we flirted with flowers and grass all the way, chasing and playing around. Qingming Festival has become a festive time for family members to meet and friends to gather. I think: what the deceased ancestors would most like to see is also the scene of a seed full of grandchildren, enjoying themselves harmoniously?
This is the custom of "Qingming Festival" in my hometown. Children, how did you celebrate "Qingming Festival"?

On the day of Qingming Festival. In the morning, we got up together and saw the rain swaying in front of me. It was around 6:13 pm, and my dad asked me if I wanted to go to the grave with him. I readily agreed. On the way, I suddenly realized that my dad was holding one less thing than before, yo! It's less firecrackers, and I loudly said, "Dad, it seems like you're wearing fewer firecrackers!"Dad listened to my words and turned to me warmly, saying, "Yes! Dad really didn't bring firecrackers today," as soon as my dad finished speaking, I immediately picked up and said, "Why don't you bring them?" I looked at Dad with a question, and Dad touched my head and said to me gently, "That's because there were too many fires this year, so firecrackers are not allowed to be set off. Don't you know?", A notice immediately came to my mind: there were indeed the big words "No Fireworks" on it. I didn't expect my dad to obey the law!
When I was sweeping graves, I saw many people who came to sweep graves. They didn't seem to take Gao Shi seriously and kept playing firecrackers in front of the tomb. Compared to my dad, they were really not as good as him!
Seeing this scene, I thought to myself that there are many people in society who do not abide by the law. Although this is just a small matter, it can reflect a person's character. If everyone can abide by the law, our civilized society will be even more civilized.

"During the Qingming Festival, it rains heavily, and pedestrians on the road are about to lose their souls. By asking where the tavern is, the shepherd boy points to Xinghua Village." Du Mu's poem "Qingming" always reminds people of the solemn atmosphere and the feeling of loneliness during the Qingming Festival.During the Qingming Festival, when the spring scenery is bright and the vegetation is revived, according to ancient traditional customs, people will always go to the mountains to worship their ancestors and sweep their graves on this day. At this time, people will bring sacrificial items such as wine, meat, paper money, etc. to the cemetery, and then carry out a series of work to worship their ancestors. It's the same in my hometown.
My hometown is in a remote rural area. Every Tomb Sweeping Day, the time for each household in the village is set by their own family, and it does not necessarily have to be on that day.
After selecting a good day, the women in the family will be responsible for buying the necessary items for the sacrifice at the market, sorting and packing the sacrifices into straw baskets, while the men are responsible for carrying tools such as hoes and shovels and going to clean in advance.
After arriving at the cemetery, people began to get busy. On a small open space in front of the tomb, a grass mat was laid out, and small bowls of rice, wine, and meat were placed. Usually, women arrange sacrificial items, while men are responsible for hanging white paper on the surrounding trees. The sacrifice is very solemn. After everything is ready, they take out paper money and put it in the incense burner used for the sacrifice to light and burn. Afterwards, both adults and children will perform three kowtows and nine bows to worship their ancestors, and finally light firecrackers. The ritual ends with the sound of firecrackers. Every Qingming Festival, I always think of my ancestors and the ancient stories my grandfather told me.
On this special day, there is always a special mood and a strange feeling, just like Du Mu's "During the Qingming Festival, rain falls heavily, and pedestrians on the road want to lose their souls.".

Today is Qingming Festival, a traditional Chinese tomb sweeping festival. Dad drives his grandmother, mom, me, and brother back to their hometown in Xianyou. My hometown is on a big mountain near Xianyou County. After an hour of hiking, we finally reached our destination - the familiar hometown in my dream.As soon as we got off the car, we smelled a fresh rural atmosphere, surrounded by green mountains, and the entire countryside looked so peaceful. We walked for a few minutes and saw an old house made of mud. This was the place where my grandfather, grandmother, and father used to live, and now only my great grandmother and great grandfather live there. As soon as I entered the door, I saw my great grandfather and great grandmother, both of whom were elderly people. When we arrived, our wrinkled faces bloomed with smiles. After greeting my great grandfather and great grandmother, we are going to sweep my grandfather's tomb. We climbed the hillside behind the house. Spring is bright and sunny, and both sides of the path are starting to be lively.
There are tender green grass with little heads exposed, busy ants in the Spring Festival rush, and bamboo shoots quietly peeking out their little heads. The mountain path is really interesting, sometimes chickens and ducks play with us, sometimes sheep and dogs race with us. The green wheat fields and golden rapeseed flowers in the distance add bright colors to the spring of my hometown. In no time, we arrived at Grandpa's grave. Dad, Mom, and I bowed three times to Grandpa's tombstone seriously. How I wish my grandfather could still live by our side and enjoy this beautiful world with us!

During the Qingming Festival, it rains heavily, and pedestrians on the road feel like they have lost their souls. By the way, where is the tavern? The shepherd boy points to Xinghua Village from afar. Qingming Festival is a traditional festival in China and also the most important sacrificial festival. Let me introduce you today.According to the old festival customs, Tomb Sweeping is a way to express respect and remembrance for the deceased during the Qingming Festival. Tomb sweeping, commonly known as going up to the grave, is an activity to pay homage to the deceased. When sweeping graves, people need to bring alcohol, food, fruits, paper money and other items to the cemetery, offer food in front of their loved ones' graves, burn paper money, cultivate new soil for the graves, fold a few tender green branches and insert them into the graves, then kowtow, worship, and finally eat the wine and food and go home.
In addition to tomb sweeping, there are many rich and interesting customs during the Qingming Festival. As Qingming Festival falls in early spring. Spring returns to the earth, and the natural world presents a vibrant scene everywhere. It is a good season for outings, and people often go hiking and play. Flying kites is also a popular activity among people. During the Qingming Festival, people not only release it during the day, but also at night.
Some people fly kites, cut the leash short, and let the breeze carry them to the ends of the earth. It is said that this can eliminate diseases and disasters, and bring good luck to themselves. Before and after the Qingming Festival, spring sunshine shines and spring rain falls, which is a good season for sowing seeds. Chinese people often plant trees on this day. At the same time, there is also the custom of planting willows during the Qingming Festival. There is an ancient saying that goes, "When the willows are green, the rain is hazy; when the willows are dry, the sky clears.". Isn't it very interesting!
"The pear blossom breeze rises during the Qingming Festival, while wanderers search for spring and leave the city halfway. At dusk, they sing and tidy up, and ten thousand willows belong to the migratory warblers. Let's enter the Qingming Festival and experience its rich and colorful customs together!"!

On Qingming Festival, we go to my hometown - Yanshan to pay respects to our ancestors.There are over twenty people with the surname "Deng" in my hometown. On the day before ancestor worship, they bought a lot of "Heaven and Earth Smart Money". Only our family was unprepared, and as soon as we arrived there, we started asking for a lot of money to burn and worship our ancestors. In the future, we should bring our own money to worship our ancestors.
We all need to walk the entire mountain in a big circle, then walk about two kilometers along the soft mud of the fields, and then worship five or six ancestors. Of course, these ancestors always receive the most money. Since the "hundred yuan banknote" has been used up before, we have to use the "one million yuan banknote". Therefore, the ancestors worshipped later are happier than those worshipped earlier.
I really enjoy celebrating the Qingming Festival because when I first went to pay respects to my ancestors, my uncle told me, "There is a gold mine under this rock in this mountain!" So I always wanted to buy an electric saw to cut open the stone and take a big bag of gold home. At that time, I went to the store to buy things. If I didn't have enough money, I would go there and get some money back. I didn't have to worry about anything to buy, it was really satisfying.
Whenever I go to Yanshan to prepare for ancestor worship, my mood cannot calm down for a long time.

Qingming Festival is a particularly important day in our hometown. The weather during Qingming Festival is always gloomy, and slight drizzle is very common. However, just as Du Mu's poem goes, "During the Qingming Festival, rain falls heavily, and pedestrians on the road yearn to break their souls." In the drizzle of the Qingming Festival, there are always various crowds shuttling through. They are all people who worship ancestors and sweep graves on this day.Every year, I follow my grandmother and the others, braving the drizzle like silk, to the graves of my wife and the Grand Duke, watching my grandmother keep talking about something. I know it's just superstition, but it also expresses my grandmother's respect for her ancestors. Then, Grandma and the others divided the food in the box into small bowls, took out the paper money they bought, lit the fire, and kept bowing to the flames, urging us to bow. Not far from the mountain top, there are always fireworks set off, causing the dull and faded sky to instantly burst into brilliant sparks. I know that these are not just ordinary fireworks, but also contain the longing and greetings of younger generations to their deceased elders. Heaven, although it has been drizzling with hazy drizzle, never extinguishes the blooming sparks! I am the same, although I have never seen those kind and friendly faces, I still hope that they can live happily and happily in that untouchable world.
After bowing, my grandmother asked us to eat the extra mugwort dumplings while it was hot. As I didn't eat much in the morning, I immediately grabbed one and stuffed it into my mouth. This mugwort was picked by my brother and aunt a few days ago. Ai grass is inconspicuous, not much different from the tender green grass, but the difference is that the leaves of Ai grass are furry, as if there is a thin layer of snow falling on it. Before we left, my grandfather brought a few piles of new soil, folded a few willow branches, covered the old soil with new soil, and inserted the willow branches into the soil before leaving.
Qingming Festival is a day of remembrance for the deceased, and it is also the beginning of spring's rebirth!
