Qingming Festival
2023-04-05
| The origin of the Qingming Festival can be traced back to the sacrificial activities of the ancient aristocracy, which were used to worship ancestors and clean tombs. During this festival, people usually visit their ancestors' graves, clean and worship, and remember and be grateful for the merits of their ancestors for future generations. While cleaning and worshiping, people also set off firecrackers, burn incense and candles, clean tombstones and wreaths, and place flowers and offerings in front of the tomb, expressing their respect and commemoration for the deceased. In addition to ancestor worship and tomb sweeping, the Qingming Festival also has other folk meanings and customs. One of the important customs of the Qingming Festival is to go for an outing, as people like to go out for a walk on this day, which represents welcoming new vitality and hope in the spring. In addition, the Cold Food Festival is also an important day of the Qingming Festival. At this time, people cook food until it is cooked and hard, without adding any water or oil. The traditional foods include cold food, five-grain rice, and flower rolls. People eat cold food and do not light fires on this day to avoid offending the spirits of the deceased. This also represents rationality and moderation, and has the meaning of self-cultivation and self-improvement. |  |
