How many kinds of snacks and fruits does Tomb-Sweeping Day buy for sweeping graves?

You don't need to buy several kinds of fruits. Seasonal fruits are suitable all over the country, and snacks can be determined according to specific conditions.

Seven things you must carry when you go to the grave:

First, incense sticks. Incense candles are the most important and necessary items for grave sweeping in Tomb-Sweeping Day. We should not only burn incense at the present time of our ancestors, but also give incense to the land of the mountain god who is in charge of the cemetery, and pray that the land of the mountain god will bless the cemetery and the soul of our ancestors.

Second, paper money. Paper money is to be burned for the dead, so that they can spend money in the underworld and must be burned clean.

Third, vegetarian wine. The process of sweeping the grave is equivalent to bringing food to the ancestors for the holidays, so if you want to give the ancestors wine, you must have wine when sweeping the grave.

Fourth, fruit snacks. Fruits are suitable for seasonal fruits everywhere, and there are no special requirements; Dim sum may depend on the specific situation.

Fifth, food. It is better to eat what our ancestors loved before they died. Many people will tell their children about their ancestors' deeds while paying homage to them, so that the next generation will not forget their ancestors.

Sixth, flowers. Chrysanthemum means missing and missing. It is generally more appropriate to go to the grave in Tomb-Sweeping Day, especially the white chrysanthemum.

Seven, "baggage". "Baggage", that is, things brought to the deceased by grave sweepers (family members of the deceased), is named after pasting a big bag with white paper, which contains money, gold and silver, as well as "gold ingots", "clothes" and "furniture" made of various papers. Burning "baggage" is an important form of paying homage to the dead. Burning "baggage" means giving these items to ancestors.

The custom of sweeping graves in Tomb-Sweeping Day

According to the custom, the order of sweeping is to sweep the grave first, that is, to clean the cemetery. Secondly, sacrifice, this procedure is very important, one is to mourn, and the other is to feel the same way with the ancestors, because the mountain has a spirit without a master, and the ancestors have a master without a spirit. Only by feeling the same way with the ancestors can we better obtain the aura of mountains and rivers.

When sweeping graves, people come to the cemetery with food, wine, fruit, paper money and other items, offer food to the graves of their loved ones, then burn paper money, cultivate new soil for the graves, repair the graves, fold some fresh green branches and put some paper money on them to show that there are descendants in the graves, and then kowtow. ?

The ancients would sit around to eat and drink after worship; You can also fly kites and even compete with each other for related activities. Women and children will also fold some Yang Liuzhi nearby and put on steamed food with wicker. Others put wicker into reeds and put them on their heads, saying, "If you don't wear willow in Qingming Festival, you will become a yellow dog in the afterlife."
