Can Tomb-Sweeping Day tell a fortune?

Tomb-Sweeping Day has a long history and is an important festival for ancestor worship and grave sweeping in China. There are several theories about Tomb-Sweeping Day. In addition, we regard it as the tenth day and the last ten days, which means that we respect this festival more. Tomb-Sweeping Day, a kind of "tomb sacrifice" first offered by ancient emperors, gradually formed the custom of worshipping ancestors and sweeping graves in Tomb-Sweeping Day after folk imitation. It is precisely because ancestor worship and grave sweeping are the main activities in Tomb-Sweeping Day that people's memory of their deceased relatives brings some sadness to this beautiful spring season. "peach blossom powder apricot blossoms are white, and the rain hits the branches and trees; Pedestrians quietly descended, and several graves cried. " This poem is a phenological and humanistic portrayal of this season. Therefore, in traditional customs, some things should not be done during the Qingming period. Today, although many things have faded, it is necessary to understand some traditions and current folk customs.

Things that should not be done during the Qingming period: 1, wedding and other festive things are forbidden. The ancients attached great importance to weddings, funerals, weddings and other happy events, and they all demanded a good omen. During the Qingming period, every family should go to the grave to worship their ancestors; Children who are far away from home should also burn paper money for their ancestors at intersections. People's faces are mostly sad and missing. This atmosphere is not suitable for weddings and other happy events. 2. Not suitable for large-scale washing. According to the old custom, the dead can only come out to wash, hang clothes and make bedding when everything is revived in Tomb-Sweeping Day. So there are dead people bathing by rivers, streams, wells and springs. So the living should give the dead a chance, a place, don't compete with them for position and water, and let them clean up well.

It is not advisable to set off fireworks. Tomb-Sweeping Day is also called Cold Food Festival. According to legend, Jin Wengong was the first to order that the date of Yamakaji's release be designated as the Cold Food Festival, to commemorate Jiezitui who was kind to himself but was burned to death by his wrong decision. He told the people all over the country that it is forbidden to set off fireworks on this day every year, and only cold food or prepared meals can be eaten. With the changes of the times, although the prohibition of fireworks has been abolished. However, out of respect for Yi Jietui, people continued the custom of Cold Food Festival, generally preparing food in front of Tomb-Sweeping Day and trying to avoid eating and drinking in Tomb-Sweeping Day.

It is inappropriate to celebrate birthdays. When the melon is ripe, the birth of a new life does not change because of the quality of the day or festival. However, people born in Tomb-Sweeping Day generally don't celebrate their birthdays on this day, but they will advance or postpone it to avoid the Qingming Festival. Nowadays, many young people don't know that they are enjoying some western festivals: Christmas, Valentine's Day, April Fool's Day and so on. But they know little about our traditional festivals.
