Today is Qingming Festival. Early in the morning, we went to a small shop next to my grandmother's house to buy paper money. As soon as I entered the small shop, I saw it crowded with people inside. My mother and I squeezed in and saw the shelves filled with various paper money, bundles of Chinese yuan, US dollars, and various ghost coins. My mother picked out ghost coins with different denominations and bought gold bars, treasure pots, and other items, filling two large bags.After lunch, Grandpa held an X-knife, and we all carried bags with ghost coins to the cemetery. Grandpa hoed all the small trees and weeds on the grave clean. Grandma divided various paper money into several piles and knelt down a few times, and we also knelt down a few times along. Dad took a lighter to set off the cannon fire, and the sound of "pa" and "pa" firecrackers echoed loudly in the air The explosion made my ears almost deaf. After setting off the firecrackers, my mother and grandfather lit the paper money together. I followed my father's example and went to find a small branch to jump up the paper money. I reached inside and flipped out the paper money that was pressed inside, and the fire suddenly lit up. What's going on? Auntie told me, "The paper money squeezed together lacks air. Now you flip it inside out, so that the air enters and the fire becomes stronger." We slowly added the paper money while burning, waiting for them to burn slowly. I looked around and saw many people worshiping their ancestors. Oh, so Qingming Festival is a holiday to commemorate our ancestors!

In the blink of an eye, the annual Qingming Festival on April 5th has arrived.Today, my parents took me up the mountain to pay respects to my grandfather. In no time, we arrived at my grandfather's grave. I only saw tall wild grass growing in front of the tomb. Mom quickly picked up a hoe to hoe the grass. Seeing Dad's diligent efforts in weeding, it can be seen how much Mom cares about her deceased grandfather! After hoeing the grass, my mother placed her hand on my shoulder and said, "Hang, come and pay respects to my grandfather and grandfather, and share your wishes together." I arrived at the tomb, knelt down on both legs, and put my hands together, saying, "Grandpa, although you have passed away for many years, we still care about you. Grandma is very lonely and bored at home. But you can rest assured that we will take good care of her, make sure she eats well, dresses well, sleeps well, even tells stories, jokes, and makes her happy! Accompany her through a happy old age. Grandpa, you are a spirit in heaven, please bless our whole family with peace, happiness, and happiness! Rest in peace! Then, we lit incense and candles, hung paper money, and Dad started setting off firecrackers... We left reluctantly.
I will always remember this beautiful Qingming Festival!

Today is the first day of the Tomb Sweeping Day holiday. I will go back to my hometown (Shucheng) with my father and mother to go to the grave.As soon as we arrived at my grandmother's house, we started eating. After lunch, our whole family (grandfather, grandmother, aunt, uncle, father, mother, younger brother, and I) set off for the bus stop and took bus route 7 to Shangfen (rural area). Arriving in the countryside, there are many fields of rapeseed flowers. From a distance, it looks like a large piece of gold has fallen to the ground, but up close, it looks like someone wearing a yellow military uniform The soldier stood in a military posture and said, "This time in science class, we happened to learn about a rapeseed flower. Today, I will also be a little teacher to teach my younger brother
I excitedly said, "After getting off the car, I took my younger brother to a rapeseed flower. However, the rapeseed flower was half a head taller than my younger brother. I had to pull the rapeseed flower down and bend it to tell him about it: 'Brother, this is the petal, this is the stamen, this is the pistil... Do you understand?' 'Hmm!' My younger brother nodded and said, 'I didn't expect rapeseed flowers to have so many secrets!' 'Yeah!' I held my younger brother's cute little hand and continued walking forward.
Everything has a secret, as long as you have a pair of eyes that are good at discovering.

Qingming Festival seems to be inseparable from rain. This Qingming Festival is a rainy day without rain.That was Tuesday morning, the sunny and gentle light shining on my confused face was wonderful.
Hike all the way to Chen Hui Cemetery. Huh? I have always failed this long-distance race How come people with extremely poor physical strength are not tired at all? It is said that people do not get tired when they contemplate. What about me? Always pondering Chen Hui, right?
The sun shines brightly in the sky, but my heart is getting deeper and deeper. Standing in front of the monument, Jing thought to herself, "Why hasn't this revolutionary martyr received good karma? Do good people really have good karma
The teacher on stage is still speaking, but his pace is getting slower and slower. I think it's not just a physical impact, but a deeper psychological trauma.
On the way back, the sunshine shone brightly in my eyes, making me feel dizzy.
Suddenly turning around, I vaguely remember the strong sunlight beside me, and the distant light like threads gently caressing the willow branches beside me. The willow branches have just grown tender leaves, but they are already quite cute.
Suddenly remembered, 'It's just that I didn't report, the time hasn't come yet.'. Perhaps the good news of martyr Chen Hui has not yet begun? Perhaps serving the motherland and making it his pursuit What bag does he expect?
The sky is still cloudless, but the sweet rain in my heart is already infiltrating my heart.

Today is Qingming Festival, but I have been confused about it. Coincidentally, my parents didn't come to work today, so I asked them to tell me how Qingming Festival came about. My father put down his work and started telling me.During the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, Li Ji, the consort of Duke Xian of Jin, plotted to assassinate Crown Prince Shen Sheng in order to allow her son Xi Qi to succeed to the throne. Shen Sheng was forced to be killed. Shen Sheng's younger brother Chong'er fled to avoid harm. During X's death, there was someone who fainted from hunger in Chong'er. At this moment, a minister named Jie Zitui cut a piece of meat from his own leg to save Chong'er, roasted it over fire, and gave it to Chong'er to eat. Nineteen years later, Chong'er returned to his home country and became a monarch, rewarding and rewarding those courtiers who shared his joys and sorrows with him, but forgetting about Jiezi Tui. Someone bowed and protested for the meson in front of Chong'er. Chong'er suddenly remembered the old story and personally came to Jiezi's house. Jie Zitui refused to see him and had already hidden behind his mother in Mianshan. So someone came up with an idea, it's better to set fire to the mountain, ignite on three sides, and leave one side behind. When the fire starts, Jie Zitui will come out by himself. Unexpectedly, the fire lasted for three days and three nights, and after the fire was extinguished, no Jiezi was pushed out. Looking up the mountain, Jie Zitui and his son were holding a burnt willow tree that had already died. Duke Wen of Jin looked at Jie Zitui's body and wept for a while, then buried Jie Zitui and his mother separately under the burnt willow tree.
In the second year, Chong'er led his courtiers to hike up the mountain in plain clothes to offer condolences. Arriving at the grave, I saw the old willow tree come back to life, with thousands of green branches swaying in the wind. Duke Wen of Jin looked at the resurrected old willow tree as if he had seen Jie Zitui. He walked up respectfully, pinched a branch with affection, and made a circle to wear on his head. After the sacrificial sweeping, Duke Wen of Jin named the resurrected old willow tree "Qingming Willow" and designated this day as Qingming Festival. Later on, this day was also the day when organizations organized tomb sweeping for martyrs. To respect the spirit of sacrifice of martyrs for the motherland.
After listening, I finally understood the true origin of Qingming Festival, and that's why every household went to sweep graves on this day.

This year's Qingming Festival is a national holiday, and we are no exception. Yesterday and today, I was both worshiping my ancestors - hanging Qingming Festival (which we like to call it here).Yesterday and this morning, I was paying respects to my ancestors, praying for my loved ones, and hoping that my ancestors can bless the healthy growth of our younger generations. Especially I hope they can protect me, my beloved wife, and our little Belle all the way safely. I also hope they can bless Rui'er and make her wish come true!
During these past few days, whenever we were going to pay respects to our ancestors, it was always drizzling rain. There is a famous quatrain by the late Tang poet Du Mu called 'Qingming', which goes: 'During the Qingming Festival, rain falls heavily, and pedestrians on the road are about to lose their souls. May I ask where the tavern is located? The shepherd boy's song refers to Xinghua Village.'. Of course, those who follow may never feel this way again.
Today I saw the rules of Qingming Festival in our hometown. On Qingming Day, Qingming Festival is not celebrated, but we still went to celebrate yesterday. I heard from my hometown that inserting Qingming is the "first three and last four" of the Qingming Festival. That is to say, Qingming Festival can only be inserted in the first three days and the last four days.
Why is it called 'inserting Qingming'? Because every time you go to the grave of a deceased person, you have to bring paper money, three sticks of incense, three sticks of incense in each stick, and a whip. These past few days, we have had many places to worship our ancestors, so we used small carts filled with incense, whips, and paper money. There are nearly thirty men and women in total, standing tall and mighty. Of course, there is a more powerful family surnamed Chen, consisting of about three hundred people. They have lunch together and set up a platform to announce the family rules, explaining the origin of the family. They also stand tall in the tomb with three meter high ancestral and second ancestral steles, which are very grand. Within a radius of ten miles here, it can be said that the Chen family's ambition has grown.
Of course, I don't see it that way. I believe that in order to achieve the good effect of both saving and saving, there is no need to scatter ancestral graves in different places. It should be that the ancestral tombs are gathered together and a giant monument is erected next to them, with the names of the first ancestor, second ancestor, and third generation. Just write it clearly in sequence.

During the Qingming Festival, our hometown has the customs of adding soil to the graves of our deceased relatives, sweeping their graves, as well as going on outings and swinging on swings.On the morning of Qingming Festival, we also have the custom of eating pancake rolls of eggs and lettuce, symbolizing that we will be full and prosperous in the new year. In the morning, our whole family had breakfast early and went to the foot of Ba Dong Mountain to add soil and sweep the grave of our great grandfather. Then we went to swing on the small river at the foot of the mountain.
The small river in Qingming hometown is very lively. People who have lived in the city for a long time go home to reunite and play by the small river. It is very beautiful there. Each grass has already been playfully sticking out its head from the embrace of the mother earth, receiving the moisture of the sun and the caress of the spring breeze.
The most prominent ones are the Spring Festival and willows on the dam. The joyful Spring Festival flowers are so beautiful, and the tender green willow branches sway in the breeze. People weave flower garlands with willow branches and Spring Festival flowers and wear them on their heads, which are very cute. They also use willow branches to make various whistles, blowing out various wonderful sounds that are extremely pleasant to listen to.
In our hometown, the most interesting thing is swinging. Every household hangs a swing for their children, and older children like us are willing to play on the big swing. There are two types of large swings. One is for one or two people to play on, and the other is a circular seat that can accommodate more than ten people. It takes several young men to push it to turn. Sitting on it, you can't say you're afraid. If the person pushing it hears, they can push it vigorously without stopping Qiuqian. But there are still many people playing and waiting in line. This is also a good way for people to relieve stress.
Isn't the Qingming Festival in our hometown very interesting? If you have time, you can also visit my hometown.

There are many festivals in a year, and my favorite is Qingming Festival. The Qingming Festival in my hometown is very different from other ethnic groups.In the morning, as soon as the six o'clock bell rings, get up early, don't keep your clothes too clean, and then turn on all the lights in the room. Use a broom to sweep the entire room clean. I can't have noodles or anything for breakfast, I can only have white rice and pickled vegetables! After finishing, you cannot wash the dishes immediately. Instead, you have to wait until noon to do so. At eight o'clock, every household has to carry a vegetable basket to the hillside to pick a dish called "Qingming". When the basket is full, you can leave with a full load. After returning home, mix flour and Qingming vegetables together, make them into small potato shaped pieces, and steam them in a pot. After steaming, take out a plate, put two in it, put an apple and a pear in it, carry it to the grave of your loved ones, offer the tribute you brought, and kowtow three times to the grave. After finishing, go back home and prepare lunch. Only for lunch can there be one meat, one vegetable, and one soup, which represents the meaning of the Three Treasures of Good Fortune. After lunch, the whole family should go for a walk together. During the walk, we should not laugh out loud, but talk about some sad things. When encountering relatives and friends, give them a candy. If the other person smiles sweetly like a flower, it means they accept and good luck will come in the second half of the year. When they are about to go home, they should pick up the firewood that has grown all over their body. Each person should have at least one stick in their hand, indicating that they have brought their money back home. In the evening, we will have a sumptuous dinner party. I have to go to bed at eight o'clock at night!
In rural areas, every household goes to bed and wakes up early during festivals. In our hometown, the significance of festivals is to transition from a simple life to a moderately prosperous society. Among the 58 ethnic groups in our world, there are different ways to celebrate festivals. According to statistics, there have been hundreds of occurrences of the Qingming Festival across the country.
I don't know why I love Qingming Festival so much. Perhaps it's because of his way of life! Perhaps it's because of his sad scene! Perhaps it's because of his

Thousands of green threads greet each other, dancing smoke and sleeping in the rain over Qingming Festival. "In the blink of an eye, Qingming Festival has arrived. In the eyes of many people, this is a festival to commemorate our ancestors, a day full of sadness, but at this time, nature has already revived everything, with beautiful mountains and clear waters, and a hundred flowers competing for beauty. So this is also a good time to get close to nature and relax both body and mind.Legend has it that Qingming Festival was established by Duke Wen of Jin to commemorate his loyal minister Jie Zitui. Later evolved into a commemoration of ancestors Festivals. In folk culture, various pastries are made to worship ancestors. South Fujian will make flowering Mantou, rice cake and Qingming fruit. Mantou with special features. First, we should mix flour, sugar, water and yeast, let them fully ferment for a few days, and then pinch them into small pieces and steam them in a steamer. Then we can dip the seeds of Casuarina equisetifolia with red dye and cover them with a small flower. The delicious flowering Mantou will be successful. Flowering Mantou is sweet, soft and delicious. Drying it in the sun gives it a unique flavor.
An important activity during Qingming Festival is hiking. Outing in ancient times was also known as exploring spring or seeking spring. At this time, spring returns to the earth and nature presents a vibrant scene, making it a great time for outings. Children like to go on spring outings with adults. Along the way, the trees on both sides of the road have changed into new green clothes. In the lush green fields, the seedlings are growing vigorously, and colorful butterflies are dancing in the flowers. The flowers are blooming eagerly, creating a vibrant scene!
Tomb sweeping is another highlight of Qingming Festival, and on this day, the mountains and fields are filled with tomb sweeping crowds. Unless absolutely necessary, people will rush home to sweep tombs and pay respects to their ancestors. Our family came to our ancestors' grave, cleared the weeds in front of the grave, and added some soil to the grave. I picked a bunch of white Qingming flowers to offer in front of our ancestors' grave, and my parents scattered some paper money on the grave, praying that our ancestors would bless our family with peace.
Qingming Festival is not only a day to commemorate our ancestors, but also a time to enjoy spring and feel the vibrant scenery of nature. In this season, all things strive to grow under the nourishment of sunshine, rain, and dew. Flowers bloom in spring, learning takes advantage of youth. We should also cherish time, study hard, and only when we grow up can we have success.

At the beginning of the Qingming Festival holiday, my dad started giving me some extra lessons: first, he asked me to recite a poem about Qingming Festival, which was not difficult - "During the Qingming Festival, the rain falls heavily, and pedestrians on the road are about to lose their souls; Tell me about the origin and customs of Qingming Festival again: Qingming Festival, which dates back to the Zhou Dynasty and has a history of more than 2500 years, is an important solar term. My father paused for a moment and solemnly preached that there is an important custom of Qingming Festival - going to the grave to worship ancestors, remembering deceased relatives, and praying for ancestors to bless the happiness and health of the family and descendants; As the Qingming Festival approaches, the temperature rises, the spring breeze blows, and the sky is clear. Therefore, it is also a good time for hiking and tourism. However, hardworking farmers do not have time to travel. As the saying goes, 'Before and after Qingming Festival, plant melons and beans.' At this time, it is a great season for spring plowing and planting, and we also need to seize the time for spring sowing!On Tomb Sweeping Day, my father took us back to our hometown to pay a visit to my grandma's grave and my elderly grandfather and uncle's family. After we got home, we talked to grandpa about our daily life, and dad took us to visit grandma's grave. Dad first added new soil to Grandma's grave, and then lit candles and paper money. The adults solemnly kowtowed together. At this moment, Dad and the others looked serious, and Dad must have been thinking about the things Grandma had worked hard to raise him in the past. When we returned, we rarely talked along the way.
After finishing our homework, we decided to go cycling to the banks of the Songjiang River for an outing. As I rode, I enjoyed the scenery by the roadside. The golden forsythia was in full bloom, attracting many people to take pictures as a souvenir. The nameless flowers in the flower bed, red as fire and yellow as gold, attract bees one by one with their fragrance. Willow trees stand shoulder to shoulder on both sides of the river, with tender green branches hanging down to the ground, dancing gracefully with the wind. Unconsciously, we arrived at the square on the east bank. There are so many people here, a sea of people, bustling with cars, the sound of car horns, the cries of vendors, and the laughter of children interweave into a beautiful symphony. During the Qingming Festival, the sky is clear and the earth is bright. Spring is warm and flowers bloom. If you have time, come out and take a walk!

Today is Qingming Festival, a day to worship deceased relatives. In the morning, I went to sweep graves with my parents. Along the way, I found that the once bustling streets had become much cleaner, with few pedestrians and hurried pedestrians. Taxis that were usually seen everywhere were also rare today. This reminds me of Du Mu's "Qingming Festival": "During the Qingming Festival, rain falls heavily, and pedestrians on the road are about to lose their souls. They ask where the tavern is, and the shepherd boy points to Xinghua Village from afar. This year's Qingming Festival was also drizzling, which inexplicably added a touch of sadness to people's mood. We arrived at the flower shop and saw that the usually colorful flower shop was almost replaced by plain x chrysanthemums and white chrysanthemums today. We bought a pot of chrysanthemums and then ran towards our destination.As I was approaching Longwang Mountain, I faintly heard a string of whips and cannons. It turned out to be set by some tomb sweepers, with some gray white smoke floating in the drizzle and floating objects in the air after the grave sweepers burned offerings for their ancestors.
After I arrived at Longwang Mountain, my father brought flowers to the tombstones of my grandmother and grandfather, my aunt lit firecrackers, and my grandmother also burned offerings. After lighting the candles, we all had to bow and worship. I heard some elderly people not far away talking about their childhood anecdotes and the scenes when their parents were still alive, and occasional sighs came from them. Grandfather and grandmother also talked about the time when their parents were still alive, saying how happy their lives would be if the elderly were still alive now.
On the way home, I saw many vehicles from other places parked. My mother told me that these were the cars of people rushing back from all directions to worship their ancestors. M y mother also told me about her childhood. She said, "At that time, our family wasn't very wealthy, but I could always get some cheap fruits from your grandmother and grandfather, and also get some pocket money. My mother was a very happy child at that time
Speaking of which, my mother feels a little sad. Although I haven't seen my grandmother and grandfather, I wish them a happy and comfortable life in heaven!

During the Qingming Festival, the rain falls heavily and pedestrians on the road are about to lose their souls. When asked where the tavern is, the shepherd boy points to Xinghua Village from afar. "The great poet Du Mu vividly describes the atmosphere of people going up the mountain to sweep tombs, go on outings, and go on spring outings during the Qingming Festival. And when I was in kindergarten, my mother told me stories about the origin of Qingming Festival, which taught me the importance of respecting the elderly and loving the young from a young age, and also made me realize that a cemetery is a respected place.Today is April 5th, also the traditional Qingming Festival. Therefore, our whole family brought offerings and flowers for our ancestors and went to the Flying Goose Cemetery to sweep the grave.
The weather today is gloomy and gloomy, and it seems to understand our mourning mood when we go to sweep graves. When our car drove into Jinsha Avenue, the originally wide road disappeared, and we only saw four long dragons composed of cars that were several kilometers long. We couldn't see the end at a glance, and the dragons slowly moved like squeezing toothpaste. We squeezed and squeezed like this, and it took about an hour for us to reach the Flying Goose Cemetery. Since cars couldn't drive up the Ring Road, we had to park our cars in the parking lot and walk up the mountain. Oh my god! There are so many people coming to sweep the tomb, the entire cemetery is packed with people, even walking side by side.
When we spent nine oxen and two tigers to reach the cemetery of our ancestors, there were rows of towering cypress trees planted in front of the cemetery, like rows of powerful sentries guarding our ancestors. The gentle spring breeze blows, as if welcoming us Come on.
When I put the flowers in the vase, the familiar and kind face of the old lady who loved me and cared for me appeared before my eyes. It also reminded me of when I was sick when I was a child, the old lady took care of me meticulously and often taught me the principles of filial piety, caring for elders, and other aspects of being a good person. I remember the unforgettable sentence - be a good person and do things well. Although this sentence may seem ordinary, it inspires me to strive forward, study hard, and make progress every day.

This year's Qingming Festival, my grandfather, grandmother, father, and mother and I went to sweep graves. Along the way, we saw newly emerged grass, swaying willows in the wind, smelled fragrant wildflowers, and heard the tinkling of spring water... But these beautiful sights did not bring us joy, because the thought of our departed ancestors weighed heavily on our hearts.When we arrived at Taigong's grave, we put Ai dumplings, fruits, meat, vegetables, and wine forward. At this moment, my mother said to me, "When my grandfather was alive, he treated me very well. In spring, the old man would personally make kites for me to play with; in summer, he would shake a fan and tell me stories; in autumn, he would carry me to the outskirts to watch wheat waves; in winter, he would accompany me to play snowball fights and build snowmen. At that time, our family was poor, but my grandfather would give me a fruit every day, including pears, apples, and oranges, but he never gave up eating it himself
Grandma sighed and said, "Every day, when your mother was a child, she loved your grandfather very much. Every time she got fruit, she would say, 'Grandpa, take a bite first!' But the old man laughed and said he didn't like fruit. In fact, the old man couldn't bear to eat it because your mother always threw away the fruit cores that were not eaten thoroughly. The old man would secretly pick them up, wash them with clean water, and say, 'If you didn't eat them thoroughly, throw them away. It's such a pity to have such a big apple core.' Then he secretly ate them
At this moment, my mother told me again, 'My grandfather bought me many, many small picture books and toys, but I am very simple. I have never bought a hand for myself in my life. When I was a child, I held my grandfather's hand and said,' Grandpa, when I grow up and make money, I will buy you a watch! 'However, when I was seven years old, my grandfather passed away from cancer. My son wanted to be filial, but I am not here...' My mother's voice choked up as she spoke.
Hearing these, my heart also feels sour. How regretful it is that a child wants to be filial but their relatives are not here! At this moment, my father patted my head and said, "So we should cherish every day with our loved ones, treat them well, and show filial piety to our elders
I nodded, seeming to understand many truths.

Today is Qingming Festival on April 5th.I didn't go to my hometown to burn paper, I just went for an outing.
So, my dad took me to Beiquan Temple on that motorcycle.
We went to the main hall to burn incense and make a wish. After making the wish, my father said to me, "Chenchen, do you know? Why did I come here to make a wish? Why do I believe that the wish came true? Because eleven years ago, when you weren't there yet, your mother and I came here to make a wish, saying 'I hope to have a daughter next year.' Sure enough, the next year we had you - our wish. So, I believe that Bodhisattva will bless us." That's right, today, I may have made a beautiful wish. I hope my dreams come true, and my dad's dreams come true too. Baguachi, yes, Baguachi is just a small pond. The water there is really clear. I washed my hands and face with that water, it's very refreshing. We went to the nearby Huangxi River to catch crabs again.
It's just a river, but it's actually just a small stream. There are really many people, most of whom are from the same city as me. At this moment, my father said, "There are fewer crabs in crowded areas. Let's go upstream, where there are fewer people." However, he didn't catch anything. I am unwilling and said, 'If I don't catch a crab today, I won't leave!' My father had no choice but to take me to a farther place. There, we met dad's friend who said there are many crabs in this place. Sure enough, about ten minutes later, Dad caught the first crab. Then, the second one, the third one, the fourth one. Yes, there are a total of four, and we can finally go home.
How can we just play with these things?
That would have wasted the great time of vacation. Now, we have run to Longquan in the sky again. The water from Tianzhong Longquan is drinkable, much better than pure water! What is pure water? Not nutritious and not good for the human body. Longquan's water is a pure natural green substance. People nowadays pay attention to green and healthy eating, which is beneficial to the human body. Longquan's water is very nutritious and good for the human body. So, people come to Longquan to queue up for water. An old man said, 'Low spring water is good, and the water there is nutritious.'. So, at this moment, we drank a small bottle of water.
I'm so happy, I had a great time today!

When the Tomb Sweeping Day comes, many adults will burn paper and send money to the ancestors' graves with shovel, yellow paper and ghost coins. So that even the dead can have money to use in the underworld; Children who are in school will also be organized by the school to visit the martyrs' cemetery, through which we can learn that today's happy life is hard won. For many years, this Qingming custom has been maintained.I don't know why, but during the Qingming Festival, the sky is always gloomy and rainy, which inevitably reminds people of the famous poet Du Mu's poem "During the Qingming Festival, the rain falls one after another, and pedestrians on the road want to break their souls". That feeling makes people's hearts feel like the weather.
The Qingming Festival in my hometown Another custom is that on Qingming Festival, willow branches are planted on both sides of every household's door, and many eggs are boiled in a pot. According to elders, this is to commemorate a person named Jie Zitui.
It is said that when the emperor made a secret visit in disguise, he unexpectedly fainted from hunger at the doorstep of a household owned by Jie Zitui. He saw someone faint at his doorstep and found a way to save him. At that time, the people were very poor, and Jie Zitui's family was no exception. The emperor's private visit in disguise made him understand the suffering of the people.
After the emperor returned to the capital, he decided to reward the life-saving benefactor greatly. However, when the imperial edict arrived, Jie Zitui was frightened and mistakenly thought that the emperor was going to kill him. So he took advantage of the darkness and hid in the deep mountains and forests with his octogenarian mother on his back. The emperor sent people to search for three days and three nights but couldn't find it, so he came up with a solution, which was to burn the forest. He wanted to use this method to force Jiezi to come forward and accept his reward. Unfortunately, Jie Zitui and his old mother were burned alive in the forest. When people saw the bodies of the mother and son under the big willow tree, they all sighed and shed tears.
After learning of this, the emperor also regretted deeply. In order to make up for his mistake, he ordered every household to plant willow branches on their doors and cook eggs during the Qingming Festival every year, so that Jie Zitui and his son, who were already in heaven, could have enough to eat and not go hungry.
Many years have passed and the customs have been preserved, but few people know the origin of the customs anymore. I think perhaps Qingming Festival is meant to remind us to always be grateful to our loved ones and benefactors.
I will never forget the Qingming Festival in my hometown.
