Yesterday was Tomb Sweeping Day. It was a clear day. I went to my grandfather's hometown to sweep the grave. There were many cars and people on the road. They all carried bags with a lot of money in them.
My grandfather's cemetery is in a forest. When I got out of the car, the adults began to work. My grandfather burned incense and poured wine. A well-dressed grandmother climbed up to the grave and hoed weeds. My brother fought with me with a stick.
Then, it's time to burn money. Money is fake money. There are one million and one trillion. My sister, holding a stack of money, yelled, "pay, pay.". Dad said that the money was for ghosts, not for people. We put money into the fire one after another, and the ash rolled up. My grandfather said with a smile, "now that we've burned so much money, you two (parents in law) don't fight for money.".
There are more and more people in the forest. The head is moving between the graves. A white haired grandfather is carrying a rake and sweeping the leaves. There is an aunt pouring wine in front of the tombstone. A pair of uncles and aunts light incense in front of a small earthen grave without a tombstone.
I climbed up to a grave and shot with a stick as a gun. In the sound of firecrackers, thick smoke rises, and the fragrant ash is running everywhere among the green branches and leaves, and people move one after another.
In the afternoon, do I go back to my hometown to worship my grandmother's grave.
My father burned a lot of money, and my grandfather burned a large pile. The denomination was tens of millions of billions, but my father only burned a few stacks. When we have a closer look, the denomination is actually two yuan. Grandfather's firecracker went off for a few minutes, while dad's firecracker finished in seconds.
My sister and I both laugh at my father's stinginess. Dad explained: "don't tell me that I'm mean. I also gave my grandmother a villa, washing machine, solar energy & hellip; & hellip;"
Along the way, we went home laughing and talking. I think, Tomb Sweeping Day, really fun. Tomb sweeping is one of the earliest customs of Qingming Festival, which has been simplified with the progress of society. On the day of tomb sweeping, the descendants first trimmed and cleared the graves and surrounding weeds, and then provided food, flowers and so on to worship the ancestors.
In northern China, there is a custom of wearing willow branches during the Qingming Festival, that is, folding willow branches into circles, wearing hats on their heads, or inserting willow branches on eaves, doors and windows. According to Yanjing Suishi Ji, the Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty, who wore a willow in the corner of the Weihe River on March 3, the emperor of the Tang Dynasty, gave each of his officials a circle of willows, saying that wearing it could avoid poison. There's a saying in Beijing: "if you don't wear willows during the Qingming Festival, you'll turn yellow when you die. It can be seen that this custom has spread to the people, but whether to wear Liu or not has something to do with the fate after death.
Outing is a spring outing in the countryside. Due to the different time of spring coming, the festival is also held successively in Fujian, Sichuan and other places on February 2 of the lunar calendar, Shaanxi and other places on March 3 of the lunar calendar. In Beijing, it was held at the same time as the Qingming Festival. In the old days, the Gaoliang bridge at the gate of Xizhimen was the most popular. There is a true record in the collection of pinghuazhai: "Gaoliang bridge is at the gate of Xizhimen, which is the most popular resort in Beijing.
Qingming also has the custom of flying kites, swinging swings and eating cold food.
Yes, during the Qingming Festival, there is a custom of eating green dumplings in Jiangnan. It's made by mixing glutinous rice and mashing it with water. The filling heart of the dumpling is made of fine sugar bean paste, and a small piece of sugar lard is put into the stuffing. After the dough is finished, steam them in the cage, and brush the cooked vegetable oil evenly on the surface of the dumpling with a brush when it is out of the cage, which is a success. Green dumplings are as green as jade, waxy and soft, fragrant, sweet but not greasy, fat but not plump. Qingtuanzi is also a necessary food for people in Jiangnan area to sacrifice their ancestors. Because of this, qingtuanzi is particularly important in the folk food customs in Jiangnan area.
There is a custom of eating Sanzi on Tomb Sweeping Day in northern and southern China. Sanzi is a kind of fried food. It is crisp and exquisite. It was called "Hanju" in ancient times. Sanzi, which is popular in the Han nationality area, has the difference between the South and the North: the northern Sanzi is mainly made of wheat flour; the southern Sanzi is exquisite and delicate, and mostly uses rice flour as the main material. In minority areas, Sanzi has a variety of varieties and different flavors. Sanzi of Uygur, Dongxiang, Naxi and Ningxia Hui is the most famous.
Eating Qingming snails is the best time to eat snails. Because the snails are not yet breeding, they are the most plump and plump. Therefore, it is said that "Qingming snail is equal to a goose". There are many ways to eat snails. They can be fried with scallions, ginger, soy sauce, cooking wine and sugar. They can also be cooked and picked out. They can be mixed, drunk, bad, and fried in soy sauce. If the food is properly prepared, it can be called "snail flavor, delicious wine is not as good as it is.".
Chaoshan people celebrate the Qingming Festival with a strong local color. Pancake: Qingming pancake is very popular in Chaoshan, almost every family is no exception. The pancake is split. The stuffing consists of two parts: the skin is made of flour mixed with water to form a paste, and then baked into round cooked dough sheets in hot soil, which are as thin as paper. The stuffing is salty and sweet, with eggs, meat, liver and cured meat. It is called salty stuffing when Lentinus edodes, bean sprouts and leeks are mixed into stuffing; sweet stuffing is made of sugar and maltose through special processing. When eating, roll the pancake skin into a cylinder for eating.
Steamed seeds?. There is a kind of tree in Chaoshan, which is called platyphylla (also known as pudingshu, belonging to Ulmaceae). Its leaves are oval and its fruit is as big as mung bean, which tastes sweet. It is said that in the famine years, the ancestors picked the leaves to relieve the famine. Qingming season, the climate is warmer, the vegetation is luxuriant, and the leaves are full of tender green. In order not to forget the past, later generations collected the leaves on the Qingming Festival, mashed them with rice pound, fermented and mixed sugar, and then steamed with pottery to make Pu Zi, which can be divided into plum blossom type and peach type, or bowl fermented peach. The product is light green and tastes sweet. It is said that it can relieve accumulated heat and eliminate diseases.
In the hometown of overseas Chinese in Southern Fujian, some cakes, rice cakes and Rice Brown are made every Qingming Festival for the family to eat before and after the Qingming Festival. In addition, during the Qingming Festival, there are various nutritious food customs such as eggs, cakes, sandwich cakes, Qingming rice dumplings, steamed glutinous rice cake, Qingming Ba and dry porridge. In memory of the martyrs, happy Tomb Sweeping Day! Lei Feng, an ordinary soldier of the Chinese people's Liberation Army, has helped countless people in his short life. On March 5, 1963, the great leader Chairman Mao Zedong personally wrote an inscription for him: "learn from Comrade Lei Feng", and designated March 5 as the memorial day of learning from Lei Feng. The readers are moved by Lei Feng's diary. "Lei Feng spirit" inspires generation after generation to learn. How did he die? It turned out that at 8:00 a.m. on August 15, 1962, Lei Feng and his comrade in arms Qiao Anshan were preparing to wash the car. Lei Feng got out of the car to direct the car. The wheel skidded and knocked down a wooden column for drying clothes. This wooden pillar hit Lei Feng's right temple. Lei Feng fainted immediately. After being rescued by the worker's Hospital in the western suburb of Wanghua District of Fushun City and medical experts from Shenyang, Lei Feng was unlucky to die at 12:05 He died young at the age of 22.
Liu Hulan, who had been fighting for the cause of communism at the age of 15, bravely resisted the enemy and went to death bravely. She is a rural girl. She is an ordinary Communist. However, with his precious life, he defeated the enemy's evil plot, and wrote the noble moral integrity of a Communist Party member with his own youth blood. Chairman Mao once praised her for her "glorious life and great death". There is no doubt that what Liu Hulan makes us learn is that this era is too calm and too busy. No matter how sharp people are, they will be numb and dull by the crowded life. We need people like 'Liu Hulan' to inspire the hot and sensitive heart that has been hidden in our hearts.
Martyrs, do you see that? How beautiful the motherland is now! Looking at the free dove, looking at the beautiful rainbow, looking at us, looking at the motherland, you should be very relieved. In the beautiful and rich motherland, you have built the great wall and new China with your own strength and courage! That's fine, but if you can't hear us, do whatever you want. The courage of martyrs is worth learning, but we are still fighting to help people! Almost everyone got Lei Feng's spirit of helping others, but what we helped were small things, such as borrowing erasers, pencils, and telling others how to do a certain problem. Liu Hulan, just said, you are strong and fearless to die & hellip; & hellip; thank you! Thanks to Lei Feng and the martyrs!

I remember that the annual Tomb Sweeping Day, the atmosphere at home is always a little heavy. I didn't know why when I was a child. Now I have grown up and gradually understand that it turns out that Qingming Festival is a day for the living to express their sorrow to the dead. My mother said that she had a sister and younger brother. When she was a teenager, she died of illness, which was a great blow to her grandparents. It's no wonder that on the day of family reunion, they always look at the photos and shed tears.

Wow, the park is so busy! huge crowds of people. The blue sky is covered by a variety of kites. It is particularly beautiful against the white clouds. The peach trees beside the road are full of pink peach blossoms. When the wind blows, the peach blossoms fall like fairies one after another. Looking at the pleasant scenery, my grandparents feel better. They helped me take out the kite and joined the kite flying team. We ran hard, and the kite finally flew into the sky, flying higher and higher, like a happy bird flying freely. Looking at the kite, we all laughed.
On our way home, we went to my uncle's grave. Father and mother told uncle, grandparents are in good health, our family is very good, let him rest assured. I also told my uncle that my study was also very good. My family bought a new house and moved in with my grandparents immediately. When reciting, I accidentally said 'I wish my uncle and aunt a happy Tomb Sweeping Day'. My mother pinched me and secretly looked at my grandparents. I was so scared that I stuck out my tongue.
