In the past few days, the spring rain has continued, and the wet and cold air seems to have penetrated into every corner, which makes people can't help but recall the Qingming season full of sorrow.
Gu Shiyun: "During the Qingming Festival, it rains a lot, and pedestrians on the road want to break their souls. This poem not only depicts the unique weather of the Qingming season, but also expresses the sadness and sorrow in people's hearts.
Qingming, this season, the rain seems to have become the best foil, and the atmosphere of people going to the grave to sweep the grave and worship the ancestors complements each other, as if heaven, earth and people are remembering their deceased relatives together at this moment.
Qingming Festival, as a traditional sacrificial festival in China, is no less important than the Spring Festival, Zhongyuan Festival and other solar terms. On this special day, people have embarked on the road back to their hometowns, going to the graves to sweep the graves, and worship their ancestors.
This year's Qingming Festival will arrive on April 4 of the solar calendar as scheduled, and the ensuing three-day holiday provides people with ample time to return to their hometowns to worship their ancestors.
With the upgrading of transportation, self-driving has become the choice of more and more people, which makes it more convenient to go back to the countryside to visit graves during the three-day holiday.
Every Qingming Festival, the countryside is more lively than the Spring Festival. Those who are unable to return to their hometowns for the New Year due to work, life and other reasons often choose to bring their families back to their hometowns to visit their graves at this time. This is not only a custom and tradition, but also a kind of remembrance of blood inheritance, let us remember the kindness of our ancestors, and remember where our roots are.
Sweeping the grave on the Qingming Festival is often a time for family reunion. We can see groups of family members, walking from one tombstone to another, worshipping and reminiscing about their ancestors.
At this time, it is the season when rape flowers are in full bloom in the countryside and wheat joints are growing, and the hope of a bumper harvest is quietly growing in this land. While we remember our ancestors, we must also remember the legacy they left behind, and pass on this tradition and responsibility from generation to generation.
In the process of going to the grave during the Qingming Festival, there is an old saying that "the Qingming Dynasty goes to the grave with three people, and the family is prosperous." This sentence expresses some of the exquisiteness and requirements of Qingming Shangtomb. So, who exactly are these "three people" referring to?
We are going to take the new daughter-in-law of the family to the grave. As a member of the family, the new daughter-in-law should follow her family to the cemetery on the day of the Qingming Festival to worship the ancestors.
This is not only a sign of respect for the ancestors, but also a way for the new daughter-in-law to better integrate into the family. On this day, the new daughter-in-law will share her grief and admiration with other family members to remember the deceased.
We are going to take the younger members of the family to the grave. These juniors are the future and hope of the family, and they should learn to respect their ancestors and remember their traditions from an early age.
On the day of Qingming Festival, they can follow their elders to the cemetery to participate in worship rituals and learn how to express respect and nostalgia for their ancestors. Through this process, the younger generations will gradually understand the history and culture of the family, and become an important part of the family inheritance.
We also have to take those people who have not been able to return to their hometowns for a long time to visit the graves. In the fast-paced modern life, many people are unable to return to their hometowns to worship their ancestors for a long time due to work, life and other reasons.
However, on the day of Qingming Festival, they should take time out to return to their hometowns to visit the tombs as much as possible to express their thoughts and respect for their ancestors. This is not only the satisfaction of personal feelings, but also the respect and preservation of family traditions.
The Qingming Festival is approaching, and in this festival full of mourning and reverence, we should keep in mind that the above three kinds of people should participate in the tradition of going to the grave and sweeping the grave. At the same time, we should also treat this traditional custom with a more serious and serious attitude, so that it can be inherited and carried forward in modern society.
Of course, in addition to the three types of people mentioned above, each of us should actively participate in the sacrificial activities of the Qingming Festival. Whether it's through grave visits, ancestor remembrance, or other forms of activities to honor our loved ones, it is an important way for us to express our respect and remembrance. At the same time, we should always remember the kindness and teachings of our ancestors, and pass on this tradition and responsibility from generation to generation.
In this rainy season, let us remember our deceased loved ones and remember the history and culture of our families. Let us treat the traditional custom of Qingming Festival with a more serious and serious attitude, so that it can take root in our hearts and become an indispensable part of our spiritual life.
At the same time, we should also actively advocate healthy, civilized and environmentally friendly sacrificial methods, so that the Qingming Festival will become a more harmonious and beautiful festival.
In addition, we should also be aware of the cultural connotation and social value contained in the Qingming Festival. It is not only a sacrificial festival, but also an important carrier for inheriting history and promoting culture.
Through the Qingming Festival, we can let the younger generation better understand and identify with their cultural roots, and enhance family cohesion and social responsibility.
