——About the way of celebrating Qingming Festival in Zhejiang Province

In Zhejiang, Qingming is commonly known as "Qingming Sacrifice", or "Grave Sacrifice" to worship Taigong. Customs vary from place to place. In some places, people worship their ancestors’ graves on Qingming Festival, while in other places, they must visit their ancestors’ graves on Qingming Festival.
Generally, members of the same clan would worship Taigong a few days in advance, worshiping Taigong first and then their own ancestors. When offering sacrifices to the Qingming Festival, people first "add soil" or "top up soil" to the ancestral grave, that is, use a dustpan to take soil and add it on top of the ancestral grave.
After the offerings are laid out, light the candles first, then the incense. The incense is distributed according to the number of people. The person with the highest seniority will lead the prayer, and then everyone will kneel down together. After the sacrifice, children can share the Qingming cakes. Finally, they pack up the offerings and leave. They visit all the graves and perform sacrifices using the same procedure.
According to the old custom, ancestor worship is held on Qingming Festival. There are three types of ancestor worship, family worship, clan worship and ancestral hall worship. On Qingming Festival, the door of the ancestral hall is wide open and the whole clan worships. A painting of the ancestor is hung in the upper hall. Men, women, old and young gather together to worship the clan ancestors. The sacrifice uses a whole pig, a whole sheep, a whole chicken and various seasonal fruits.
After the sacrifice, the portions are distributed to descendants and a banquet is held to entertain clan members. The scene is grand and the ceremony is solemn. Seats are arranged according to seniority, regardless of age or wealth, and the youngest holds the pot.
After the founding of the People's Republic of China, there were very few ancestral sacrifices. Now there are only family sacrifices, and every household has a table of vegetarian food to worship their ancestors.
