Some people cannot control their emotions, and crying is normal. But this does not mean that you need to cry loudly when visiting graves on Qingming Festival. Introduction to the way of visiting graves during Qingming FestivalThe most common way to visit the graves is to hold it at the ancestral burial site (usually in the village cemetery), commonly known as "visiting the graves". The time is mainly on the anniversary of the death and major traditional festivals (except the Mid-Autumn Festival), such as New Year's Eve, Qingming Festival, Zhongyuan Festival (July 15), October 1, June 1, etc. The men in the family bring offerings, incense and paper to the grave, place the offerings, water and wine, and then burn paper, burn incense, pour libation and perform rituals, during which time they also put paper on the grave.The custom of visiting graves is most grand during the Qingming Festival. People have to "add soil" to their ancestors' graves the morning before to show that the family is prosperous. In most rural families, when a son gets married, they will also visit the graves. This is to tell the ancestors that the son has started a family and the population has increased. In addition, at dawn on the 7th day after a person’s death, family members go to the grave to pay tribute and express condolences, which is called "Lei Qi". After that, it is held every 7 days, usually completed after 57 days, but sometimes it can be completed up to 77 days. On the 100th day after a person's death, relatives and children prepare offerings for the memorial ceremony, which is called "Bai Tie". In the old days, people would put up money trees, cardboard boxes, and paper cabinets and burn them in front of the grave, but now they just burn paper money. When visiting the graves, people bring wine, food, fruits, paper money and other items to the cemetery, offer the food in front of their relatives' graves, burn the paper money, add new soil to the graves, repair the graves, break off a few green branches and insert them on the graves, press some paper money on top, and pad with bricks to let others know that there are descendants in this grave, and then kowtow and pay tribute. Women and children would also pick some willow branches nearby and string the steamed food offerings together with the willow twigs. Some people weave willow branches into a basket shape and wear it on their heads, with the saying "If you don't wear willow branches on Qingming Festival, you will turn into a yellow dog in your next life." |
