What's the difference between Memorial Day and Memorial Day?

There is still a big difference between "death day" and "sacrifice day"

Deathday: refers to the day when ancestors died. According to traditional customs, banquets, drinking and all kinds of entertainment activities are forbidden on this day, so it is called "No People's Day".

Sacrifice day: a day of sacrifice or commemoration, one of the important ceremonies in ancient times. The son of heaven set up a big altar to worship the sun god every spring equinox; Or refers to the wizards of all ethnic groups opening an altar to pray for heaven!

China people's word "avoiding the sun" comes from the Book of Rites: "A gentleman has a lifelong loss, which is also called" avoiding the sun ". "

Biography of the Three Kingdoms Wei Zhi Qiwangfang: "The ancestors and emperors abandoned the world in the first month, and courtiers always mourned the death of Japan." Refers to the day when parents and other relatives die, and drinking and having fun are prohibited; All ancestors' birthdays, anniversaries and anniversaries of emperors and empresses are collectively called anniversaries.

In Tomb-Sweeping Day, people call it "the Day of Sacrifice".

For example, "Guan Ji" said: "Winter went to spring, and the son of heaven left the country for forty-six miles, went to the altar, wore green jade, and took the jade supervisor. He went to princes, ministers and scholars and followed the people, calling it a day of sacrifice. " Another example: The Book of Rites Sacrifice Law says: "Being buried in Taizhao is also the time for sacrifice; Close to the altar, offering sacrifices to the cold and heat; The palace is also a memorial day.
