Set up a monument, pay attention to the fact that three years after the death of parents, it is not appropriate to set up a monument when one parent is alive, and it is best to choose Tomb-Sweeping Day. It is not only a matter of custom to erect a monument for ancestors, but also because some family members have lived in other places for a long time and don't often go home to sweep graves, for fear that more and more graves will be found inconvenient in the future. Setting up a monument is tantamount to marking the graves of loved ones. This matter should be borne by the children. It used to be fashionable to erect a monument, but due to the influence of the Great Leap Forward in the 1950s, it was naturally impossible to erect a monument. Later, with the reform and opening up, social and economic development and the improvement of people's living standards, it has gradually become fashionable to erect monuments since the 1980s. However, the original monuments were all pasted with cement, which was very simple. As long as a name is engraved, the function of "mark" is obvious. However, in recent years, monuments are made of stone, and people pay more and more attention to them. In Zhucheng, people often use marble, granite and bluestone. As for the styles, they are all vertical and look tall and beautiful. When erecting a monument, the children first choose the materials for carving the monument and determine the date. After the memorial tablet is carved, it should be wrapped in red cloth and transported to the nearest place to the cemetery for storage. There is a saying that it may be for good luck to put the carved stone tablet on the roadside and let passers-by step on it. When Tomb-Sweeping Day arrived, people erected monuments on selected days. There is no specific time to set up a monument, mainly depending on the actual situation of the person who set up the monument. When erecting a monument, the direction of the monument is exquisite everywhere, while in Zhucheng, it generally faces the sun to the southeast. In addition, the cost of erecting a monument can only be paid by children, because it is filial piety and cannot be replaced by others. After the monument is erected, family members should kowtow, burn paper and set off firecrackers in front of the monument to show their respect.

The wind of a hundred miles is different, and the customs of ten miles are different. Although some customs have been forgotten by people with the progress of civilization and social development, some have even become bad habits and have been abandoned by modern people.

● Tomb-Sweeping Day Taboo Notes Tomb-Sweeping Day is coming soon. Tomb-Sweeping Day is an important traditional festival in China, and it is of great significance to commemorate and respect our ancestors. It is essential for Tomb-Sweeping Day to sweep the grave. Many people in Gaoping will visit graves earlier. Here are some taboos and taboos for everyone. You must see it. Whether superstitious or not, the folk customs of traditional festivals should be observed.

First, pregnant women should avoid sweeping graves.

It's better for pregnant women to avoid tomb sweeping activities in Qingming, which is not only the influence of heavy yin. In other respects, Tomb-Sweeping Day is very crowded. For the safety of the fetus, pregnant women are not recommended to participate. Moreover, the weather of sweeping graves and the surrounding environment are not conducive to the health of pregnant women. In addition, if women have official holidays, they should also avoid such activities. It is also unreasonable that women are forbidden to sweep graves in some places in Gaoping, our province. If there are no males in future generations, will there be no ancestor worship in Qingming?

Second, don't take pictures in the cemetery.

The purpose of sweeping graves is to worship ancestors, not to have fun. There is a god who holds his head three feet high. It is best to be respectful, careful and cautious when sweeping the grave. Never take pictures in the cemetery, or even take pictures at will, otherwise it will attract bad atmosphere, cause imbalance between Yin and Yang, and damage personal fortune. Of course, this refers to no selfies, no scenes. Normal and serious photos are ok, otherwise how can Baidu have so many cemeteries?

Third, avoid wearing big red and purple.

Tomb-Sweeping Day can't wear red and purple to visit the grave, and I believe everyone will not wear such clothes to attend such activities. However, there are always people who are careless and inadvertently use red in clothes or costumes. Of course, the animal year is an exception, and underwear can be worn in red.

Fourth, there is no outside grave-sweeping.

It is taboo for people outside Tomb-Sweeping Day to participate in grave-sweeping, and it is easy to cause unnecessary trouble. After all, it is not a family, and different blessings may cause disorder in the gas field, leading to disharmony and bad luck. Or objectively speaking, ancestor worship is a family matter, and it is really inappropriate for outsiders to participate.

Five, the body is not good, it is best not to sweep the grave.

A person is in a state of illness or weakness, or has bad luck recently, and everything is not going well. It is best not to go to grave-sweeping activities, because such a person's overall fortune is very low and it is easy to bring bad luck. To put it bluntly, evil spirits are on the upper body, because dark things are the happiest for people with low luck. People who are not superstitious should also pay attention to the unstable weather in Qingming. After all, if you are sick, going out to blow will aggravate your condition.

6. The long grass in front of the grave must be trimmed.

Weeds growing on graves must be removed, and they must never grow into climate. The so-called grave sweeping is to let you clean things that are not conducive to the cemetery. The vegetation on the grave will do harm to the family, including luck and health, which is greatly unfavorable. People who are not superstitious should also pay attention to the grass growing on the grave, which makes people feel that their descendants are unfilial and have not even swept the grave.

Seven, the tablet can't be touched.

Setting up a tomb is not only a respect for ancestors, but also a traditional practice in geomantic omen. If the ashes or bones of ancestors are the place where Long Mai landed, then this monument is like an antenna of a mobile phone, which is a medium and an important link between heaven and earth. Therefore, when you worship, don't move the direction of this monument. Proper cleaning or nursing is enough, and you can't change its orientation at will.

Eight, don't add anything to the grave at will.

Don't put something big in front of the grave, or plant some small trees. In fact, from the perspective of geomantic omen, if a grave has good peaks or water to transport, it will be expensive and rich, but out of your kindness, placing some objects or planting small trees in front of the grave will have a destructive effect.

Nine, the hair does not cover the forehead

In fact, Tomb-Sweeping Day is a Halloween, of course, we should pay attention to the hairstyle, especially the hair can't cover the forehead. This is the magic lamp of the human body, and it can't be covered.

Ten, avoid laughing at ancestors.

We should pay attention to this. You know, after all, the cemetery is the resting place of the ghost. Laughing and cursing will disturb yin qi, which is disrespectful and may lead to revenge. Criticizing ancestors is even more undesirable. If you pass by someone else's cemetery and judge the dead is blasphemy, then it is no wonder who is unlucky. People who are not superstitious should also know that it is very good to pay attention to education in serious festivals.

Eleven, pay attention to the grave sweeping time.

The best time to sweep graves is when the sun is strong, that is, from 9: 00 am to 3: 00 pm, and the Qingming Festival must be completed before 3: 00 pm, because at this time, the sun is gradually fading and the yin is gradually increasing. If people with low fortune or weak health sacrifice in the night with heavy yin, their fortune may be affected.

It is not appropriate to take Yin Qi home.

When you come back from the cemetery, I suggest you go to the public supermarket first and then go home. Where there are many people, the atmosphere is strong, which can dispel the bad emotions in the heart, eliminate all kinds of negative information and make the mood happy. People who are usually easily influenced by external information or those who are timid, cowardly and unlucky can go to shopping malls or busy places to get rid of negative emotions or moods. Finally, I wish you all a healthy Tomb-Sweeping Day and a happy Qingming holiday! You can't delay your work because of superstition, but you should also abide by some traditional folk customs. A large part of Benevolence and Filial Piety has been handed down through folk activities, and we must pass it on.

Brief introduction of Tomb-Sweeping Day Qingming is one of the 24 solar terms in China. Because the 24 solar terms objectively reflect the changes of temperature, rainfall and phenology throughout the year, ancient working people used them to arrange agricultural activities. Huainanzi? Astronomical training says: "On the 15th day after the vernal equinox, the bucket refers to B, and the Qingming wind is coming." According to the centenarian question, "everything grows clean and bright at this time." So it's called Qingming. "As soon as Qingming arrives, the temperature rises and the rainfall increases, which is a good time for spring ploughing and spring planting. Therefore, there is an agricultural proverb that "before and after Qingming, point melons and plant beans" and "planting trees is not as good as Qingming". It can be seen that this solar term is closely related to agricultural production.

However, Qingming, as a festival, is different from pure solar terms. Solar terms are symbols of phenological changes and seasonal order in China, while festivals contain certain customs and activities, which have certain commemorative significance.

Tomb-Sweeping Day is a traditional festival in China, and it is also the most important festival to worship ancestors and sweep graves. Grave-sweeping is commonly known as going to the grave and offering sacrifices to the dead. Most Han people and some ethnic minorities visit graves in Tomb-Sweeping Day.

According to the old custom, when sweeping graves, people should bring food, wine, fruit, paper money and other items to the cemetery, offer food to the graves of their loved ones, then burn the paper money, cultivate new soil for the graves, break some green branches and insert them in front of the graves, then kowtow and worship, and finally go home after eating and drinking. The poem Qingming written by Du Mu, a poet in the Tang Dynasty, said: "There are many rains during the Qingming period, and pedestrians on the road want to break their souls. Ask local people where to buy wine? The shepherd boy pointed to Xinghua Village. " Write about the special atmosphere in Tomb-Sweeping Day.

Tomb-Sweeping Day, also known as the outing festival, according to the solar calendar, between April 4th and 6th every year, it is the season of beautiful spring and lush vegetation, and it is also a good time for people to have a spring outing (called outing in ancient times), so the ancients had the custom of going for an outing in Qingming and carrying out a series of sports activities.

To this day, the custom of worshipping ancestors and mourning the dead relatives in Tomb-Sweeping Day is still very popular.

Tomb-Sweeping Day customs swing.

This is the custom of ancient Tomb-Sweeping Day in China. Swing, that is, lift the rope, move. It has a very long history. It was originally called Qian Qiu, but later it was changed into a swing to avoid taboos. In ancient times, swings were made of branches and tied with ribbons. Later, it gradually developed into two ropes, a pedal swing. Playing swing can not only improve health, but also cultivate courage, which is deeply loved by people, especially children.

play football

Bow is a rubber ball, the skin of which is made of leather, and the ball is stuffed with wool. Cuju is kicking the ball with your feet. This is a popular game in ancient Tomb-Sweeping Day. According to legend, it was invented by the Yellow Emperor with the original purpose of training warriors.

spring outing

Also called spring outing. It was called Tanchun and Xunchun in ancient times. March is clear, spring returns to the earth, and nature is full of vitality everywhere, which is a good time to go for an outing. People in our country have always maintained the habit of going for an outing in Qingming.

plant trees

Before and after Tomb-Sweeping Day, the spring is bright, the spring is bright, and the spring rain is falling. The planted seedlings have high survival rate and fast growth. Therefore, China has the habit of planting trees in Qingming since ancient times. Some people even call Tomb-Sweeping Day Arbor Day. The custom of planting trees has been passed down to this day. 1979, the National People's Congress designated March 12 every year as China's Arbor Day. This is of great significance to mobilize people of all ethnic groups in China to actively carry out activities to green the motherland.

fly a kite

It is also Tomb-Sweeping Day's favorite activity. During their stay in Tomb-Sweeping Day, people not only wore it during the day, but also at night. At night, a string of colored lanterns is hung under the kite or on the wind-stabilizing stay, like twinkling stars, which is called "magic lamp". Someone used to put kites in the blue sky, then cut the strings and let the breeze send them to the ends of the earth. It is said that this can eliminate diseases and disasters and bring good luck to yourself.
