Qingming Festival began in the Zhou Dynasty and has a history of more than 2500 years. Qingming was only the name of a solar term at first. It became a festival to commemorate ancestors, which is related to the cold food festival. Therefore, Duke Wen of Jin designated the day after the cold food festival as Qingming Festival.
Qingming was originally just the name of a solar term. It became a festival to commemorate ancestors, which was related to the cold food festival. Therefore, Duke Wen of Jin designated the day after the cold food festival as Qingming Festival.
The name of "Qingming Festival" comes from the Qingming solar term in the 24 solar terms of the Chinese lunar calendar. The Qingming solar term has a total of 15 days. As a solar term, Qingming is after the spring equinox. Therefore, Qingming Festival is also called outing Festival. At the turn of mid spring and late spring, it is not only a traditional Chinese festival, but also one of the most important sacrificial festivals. It is a day for ancestor worship and tomb sweeping.
On Tomb Sweeping Day, according to the old custom, when sweeping tombs, people should bring wine, food, fruits, paper money and other items to the cemetery, sacrifice food in front of their loved ones' tombs, burn the paper money, cultivate new soil for the tomb, fold a few fresh green branches and insert them on the grave, then kowtow and worship, and finally eat wine and food home.

There is a custom of Cuju on Qingming Festival. It's a ball made of leather and stuffed with fur. Cuju is playing football with your feet. This is a favorite game during the ancient tomb sweeping day. According to legend, it was invented by the Yellow Emperor. Its original purpose was to train samurai. Playing polo is also one of the Dragon Boat Festival plays. Polo is riding on a horse and playing with a stick. It was called bowing in ancient times. In the famous capital chapter of Cao Zhi of the Three Kingdoms, there is a sentence of "beating Ju on the soil in succession". In Chang'an of the Tang Dynasty, there was a wide court. Emperors such as Xuanzong and Jingzong liked polo. The picture of polo in Prince Zhang Huai's tomb shows the prosperity of polo in the Tang Dynasty: in the picture, more than 20 horses gallop, their tails tied up, and the players wear Fu towels, step on boots, and hit each other with a stick. "Analysis of Jin Zhi" records that Liao took playing polo as a traditional custom of the festival and hit the ball on the Dragon Boat Festival and Chongjiu. Jin Shi Li Zhi also records that Jin people hit the ball at the Dragon Boat Festival. In the Song Dynasty, there was a dance team called "playing music". Polo was still popular in the Ming Dynasty.
"General examination of continued literature · Le Kao" records that emperor Chengzu of the Ming Dynasty once hit the ball and willow in Dongyuan several times. In the long volume of the Ming Dynasty's "Xuanzong's pleasure map", there is a scene of Xuanzong enjoying polo. Wang Zhi, an official at that time, wrote a poem about playing ball in the Dragon Boat Festival Solar Temple: "the jade lotus has thousands of Golden Horses, and the carved seven treasure balls. When the wind flies, the electric switch is startled, and the stars are awakened. When the fire page passes into three victories, the first chip is passed happily. The clouds follow the leisurely feet and wrap around the east end of the hall." In front of baiyun temple in Beijing, there is also a ceremony of people riding and hitting the ball. Polo also existed around the temple of heaven in the Qing Dynasty. It didn't disappear until the middle of the Qing Dynasty. Since 1965, ancient Polo has appeared in Xi'an, making this ancient sport reappear in China after disappearing for many years.

On the Qingming Festival, Chinese people have the custom of inserting willows. Experts said that there are three common sources of the custom of inserting willows during the Qingming Festival.
It is said that the custom of inserting willows is to commemorate Shennong, the agricultural ancestor who "taught the people to harvest". In some places, people insert willow branches under the eaves to predict the weather. There is an old saying that "willow is green and rainy; willow is dry and sunny". Willows have strong vitality. As the saying goes, "if you plant flowers intentionally, you will not grow flowers. If you plant willows unintentionally, you will become a shade." Willow sticks will live when they are planted in the soil. Wherever they are inserted, they will be planted with willows year after year, giving shade everywhere.
There is another saying: the Chinese regard Qingming, July and a half and October new moon as three Ghost Festivals. Qingming Festival is a time when ghosts come and go frequently and ask for more. Under the influence of Buddhism, Guanyin held a willow branch dipped in water to help all living beings. Many people believed that the willow branch had the function of expelling ghosts and evil spirits, and called the willow branch "ghost terror wood". Jia Sixie of the Northern Wei Dynasty wrote in Qi Min Yao Shu: "take the willow branches and put them in the house, and all ghosts will not enter the house." Since it is the time for willows to sprout, people wear willows to ward off evil spirits one after another.
Another view is that this custom is to commemorate Jie Zitui. Jie Zitui burned himself under the big willow tree to keep his ambition and keep the festival, which made Duke Wen of Jin and his officials and people very sad. The next year, when Duke Wen of Jin personally led his officials to climb the mountain to worship Jie Zitui, he found that the old willow that had been burned down in that year had actually died and came back to life. Duke Wen of the Jin Dynasty immediately named the old willow "Qingming willow", and folded several wickers on the spot and put them on his head to show his nostalgia. Since then, the officials and people have followed suit, so it became common. Inserting and wearing willows during the Qingming Festival has become a symbol to commemorate Jie Zitui.

Qingming Festival is one of the 24 solar terms of the lunar calendar. The traditional Chinese Qingming Festival began in the Zhou Dynasty and has a history of more than 2500 years.
Qingming Festival is not only a traditional festival in China, but also the most important sacrificial Festival. It is a day for ancestor worship and tomb sweeping. Tomb sweeping, commonly known as going to the grave, is an activity of offering sacrifices to the dead. The Tomb Sweeping Day reminds me of the poem "Tomb Sweeping Day" by Du Mu, a poet of the Tang Dynasty: "it rains in succession during the Tomb Sweeping Day, and pedestrians on the road want to break their souls. Excuse me, where is the restaurant? The shepherd boy points to Xinghua village in the distance." This poem describes the special atmosphere of the Qingming Festival. The first two days of this year's Qingming Festival, as described in the poem, had a few days of drizzle. On the Tomb Sweeping Day, God seemed to appreciate it. Instead of "rain after rain" in the past, it became sunny. I asked my grandfather, "shall we go to sweep the tombs of my grandparents?" Grandpa said, "because we went to sweep in the first month, we won't go to Qingming Festival."

Today is Tomb Sweeping Day. I'm so happy because my grandparents' graves are in the countryside, so I can go to the countryside to play, but I'm still a little sad to think of my dead relatives.
My brother-in-law and I wandered outside. When we met his classmates, we went to hang up "Qing" with his classmates. It's strange to say that his family's old grave is in a relatively high place. It took a lot of effort to walk up when the director is full of weeds. There are several graves in the grass. It is this complex place that makes them often hang Qing on other people's graves.
When I came back, I saw all kinds of "Qing" made of plastic and paper hanging on different graves. I never understood its meaning. Now I know that it is a kind of remembrance of my dead relatives.

It was overcast and drizzling, and the whole earth was green under the call of spring. The scenery is beautiful, but I have no intention of appreciating it. Today is Tomb Sweeping Day. My parents and I went to visit the grave.
Seeing the grave sweepers with dignified faces, their hearts should be heavy at this time. They put a plate of cold food in front of their ancestors' graves. I asked my mother, "what are you doing?" Mother answered in a low voice, "they are offering sacrifices to their ancestors. Our country is a multi-ethnic country. The ways of offering sacrifices to their ancestors are different in every place. You can learn about it online."
Mother also said that due to the combination of cold food festival and Qingming Festival, some places still retain the custom of eating cold food on Qingming Festival. For example, Tai'an eats cold pancakes and raw bitter vegetables. It is said that his eyes are bright after eating them. Jinzhong area still retains the habit of banning fire the day before Qingming.
I've learned so much. Although the customs of each place are different, I believe everyone remembers their ancestors with the same mood and sends condolences on Qingming Day!

It's really "rainy in Qingming Festival, and pedestrians on the road want to break their souls". Is there a light rain in the sky on the eve of Qingming Festival. After the light rain, the weather is sunny, sunny and the air is fresh. Our family drove to the mountain to visit the grave. Along the way, patches of rape flowers glittered with gold, tender buds rose in the heat, seedlings and grass stood tall, and plum, pear and peach blossoms bloomed. Everywhere is filled with the breath of spring, surrounded by green.
Standing at the foot of the mountain, a pile of pebbles piled up into a stone mountain. We climbed up the rugged mountain road and covered our feet with wild flowers and weeds. We found the tombs of our predecessors and ancestors and began to sweep the tombs first: hoe the weeds on the mound, and then offer flowers and hang strips to the tombs. When everything is cleaned up, we'll burn some paper money. Take this opportunity, we also kowtow and bless. We commemorate our predecessors and ancestors with reverence, which reflects the Chinese people's spirit of respecting the elderly and expresses the Chinese people's love for their ancestors, predecessors or great men.
After the tomb sweeping, we will visit relatives everywhere and get together. We will get together and have a noisy meal, which will bring the whole Qingming Festival to a happy end.

Today is Tomb Sweeping Day. According to our customs here, it is to mourn the dead, eat tomb sweeping dumplings and sweep tombs.
I checked the information on the Internet. In the past, the customs of Qingming Festival were very rich. There were a series of sports activities, such as banning fire, sweeping tombs, outing, swinging, Cuju, playing polo, inserting willows and so on. It is said that inserting willows can predict the weather. There is an old saying that "the willow is green, the rain is misty, the willow is dry, and the sky is bright".
Today, my family is no exception. Early in the morning, grandma and aunt began to get busy. Grandma kneaded dough and aunt made Qingming dumplings. I also want to help, so I first took a piece of flour and kneaded it round, like a small football. Then I put my fingers in it and turned it slowly along the edge, turning and turning, and kneaded it into a small "bowl". Then put the stuffing into a small "bowl" and then close it and knead it round. I accidentally flattened it. Oh, it's a great pity. I thought: it doesn't matter. Failure is the mother of success. Then I did it again and succeeded as expected; After a while, grandma steamed the prepared Qingming dumplings in a steamer. A few minutes later, Qingming dumplings sent out an attractive fragrance and filled the whole house. Grandma brought up the Qingming dumpling. Before the Qingming dumpling was cold, I couldn't wait to catch one and gobble it up.

Today is Tomb Sweeping Day. My mother took my brother and I back to the countryside and came to my grandfather's house. Behind the house, there are dense bamboos, bamboo shoots and buds drilling out of the ground, and there are many wild vegetables along the river: wild celery, duck feet, wild fungus, water fern... Especially at the gate of the yard, there are several eye-catching camellia trees and peach trees, which are full of bright red camellia and peach trees are full of pink peach flowers. My brother and I counted curiously and found that camellia has 6 petals, 128 stamens, peach has 5 petals and 51 stamens. If you count a few more flowers, the number will be different.
In the afternoon, I went to MaoYuan mountain with my grandfather, uncle, mother, brother and brother to visit grandma's grave. At Grandma's grave, Grandpa cut a small tree with a mountain knife, inserted it on Grandma's grave, hung the mountain money on the small tree, and then lit candles and firecrackers. Finally, we all paid three respects in front of grandma's grave and left.
Tomb Sweeping Day is a fine tradition of the Chinese nation. Tomb sweeping is a concrete manifestation of commemorating ancestors, remembering relatives and filial piety. Whether living or dead, we should respect, love and always be grateful.
After listening to my mother's words, I understood the significance of Tomb Sweeping on Tomb Sweeping Day.

Everything recovers and the spring is exciting. The annual Qingming Festival is coming soon. Qingming is people's sacrifice to martyrs and dead old people. Therefore, every time I go to Qingming, my heart has a kind of sad palpitation.
In the past, Qingming seldom met with the wind and sunshine. My father always took me to worship his ancestors. So he took up the shovel and added some new soil on his grandfather's grave. Some people will pick some Qingming flowers and put them in front of the graves of their deceased relatives, so that the Qingming flowers refresh their brightness and beauty against the sunshine in spring. They still linger after sweeping the tombs.
Looking at the habitat of our ancestors, time is solidifying and memory is solidifying. A little incense is reverence, burning a few pieces of paper money is missing, and the etiquette of kowtowing is piety. The burned paper money flew around like a gray butterfly, and the sound of explosion made fireworks curl in the quiet field. There is wine in life. I'm drunk now. Why did a drop come to Jiuquan. The wine and meat placed in front of the tomb are missing, sustenance, blessing and gratitude.
Qingming, carrying too much melancholy, too much sadness, too much life and death.
It's a pity that I can't see my dead relatives in Qingming at this time.
