Are entertainment places not allowed in Tomb-Sweeping Day?
1. Tomb-Sweeping Day is both a solar term and a festival. Every year, Tomb-Sweeping Day worships ancestors to sweep graves and go for an outing. Among them, the custom of outing is a custom activity in solar terms, and Tomb-Sweeping Day's time calculation also follows the time period of solar terms.
2. Qingming was just the name of a solar term at first, and later became a festival to commemorate ancestors, which was related to the Cold Food Festival. Jin Wengong designated the second day of the Cold Food Festival as Tomb-Sweeping Day. In most parts of Shanxi, the day before Tomb-Sweeping Day was the Cold Food Festival. Tomb-Sweeping Day in Yushe County and other places celebrated the Cold Food Festival two days ago; Yuanqu County also pays attention to Tomb-Sweeping Day's Cold Food Festival the day before, and the light cold food the day before.
3. Tomb-Sweeping Day is a traditional festival in China, and it is also one of the most important festivals to worship ancestors and sweep graves. Tomb-Sweeping Day started in the Zhou Dynasty and has a history of more than 2,500 years. As soon as Qingming arrives, the temperature rises, which is a good time for spring ploughing. Therefore, there is a saying that "before and after the Qingming Festival, melons, fruits and beans are planted". Tomb-Sweeping Day, Dragon Boat Festival, Spring Festival and Mid-Autumn Festival are also called the four traditional festivals in China.
4. "There are many rains in Qingming Festival" refers to the climate characteristics of Jiangnan. At this time, it is often cloudy and sunny, and abundant water can generally meet the needs of crop growth. What is annoying and can't be ignored is the harm of wet stains and insufficient light caused by too much rain.
5. During Tomb-Sweeping Day, wheat grew in three stages. Wheat in the southern part of Huanghuai is about to start heading, rape has blossomed, and wheat in the northeast and northwest regions has also entered the jointing stage. In the later stage, we should pay close attention to fertilizer and water management and pest control. Dry farming in the north, early and middle rice in the south of the Yangtze River is in a suitable season for mass sowing, so we should seize the opportunity, seize the sunny day and sow early.
