What does it mean to not celebrate the Qingming Festival?Qingming Festival does not mean that people who have just passed away should be worshipped before Qingming Festival.In the past, people would not worship the recently deceased during the Qingming Festival. Instead, they would choose to worship on the Spring Festival before the Qingming Festival. The Spring Festival is earlier than the Qingming Festival, so this is just a traditional custom. "She" refers to "Spring Festival", which is the fifth day after the beginning of spring. It was a festival for ancient people to pray for a good harvest. According to legend, King Yama gives "favorable treatment" to all new ghosts, allowing them to enjoy the offerings of their relatives in advance. Therefore, filial sons and grandchildren can pay homage to them early without having to wait until Qingming Festival. However, "Spring Festival" is the day to worship the land god. In order to prevent the gods and ghosts from "fighting for food", the worship of the ancestors who have just passed away must be done before "Spring Festival". The Spring Festival falls before the Spring Equinox in some years and after it in other years. Sacrificial Rituals1. Place food, bowls, chopsticks, wine glasses, tea and other offerings on the graves of ancestors, and then light three incense sticks in front of the graves.2. Pour the first glass of wine after lighting the incense. After about 30 minutes or half of the incense is burned, one person will light three incense sticks for the second time and pour the second glass of wine. 3. When the incense is half burned, place offerings to the land god who looks after the grave, and then burn a piece of yellow paper to protect the ancestors from harm. 4. When the three incense sticks have burned out, remove the offerings and leave a small amount of money and other belongings to be burned on other graves to prevent other ghosts from stealing money and clothes from the ancestral graves after the people who visited the graves leave. Things to note <br /> 1. Do not play around, run around, or mess around around the cemetery. Doing so is not only impolite, but also disrespectful to the ancestors. Second, it is not advisable to wear bright red or bright green clothes, and pregnant women, the sick, and children under 7 years old should not go to sweep the graves. 3. When offering sacrifices, people usually say what they are going to do at the grave, why they are doing it, and hope that the ancestors will bless them, and everything will go smoothly and be safe.
