What are the customs and traditional stick figures in Tomb-Sweeping Day?

The pictures about Tomb-Sweeping Day customs are as follows:

1, draw a straight line to represent the horizon, and then draw a stone step. On the stone steps, draw a cuboid tombstone with incense for worship.

2. Then, draw a figure on the left and right sides of the tombstone. On the right is a girl with shoulder-length hair and a bunch of flowers, and on the left is a boy with curly hair and short hair.

3. Then, draw a weeping willow behind each of the two figures, and draw branches and leaves on the willow.

4. Start coloring below! First paint the trunk of the willow tree brown, then paint the leaves of the willow tree green, and paint the hair of the characters black.

5. Finally, the figure's clothes are painted gray, then the shadow of the tombstone is painted gray, and then the ground is painted grass green, thus drawing a picture of Tomb-Sweeping Day sweeping the grave.

Historical origin

Twenty-four solar terms are the product of ancient farming civilization, which is related to the time of gossip and has a long history. The twenty-four solar terms were originally determined by the direction of Beidou bucket handle. Bucket handle started from "Yin position" and turned clockwise, one year old. When the barrel handle points to the "B position", it is clear.

Qingming is a vibrant season, and it is also the decline season of Yin Qi. The earth presents the image of spring and tranquility, which is a good opportunity to go for a spring outing in the suburbs and offer sacrifices to graves. Qingming has both natural and humanistic connotations, which is both a natural solar term and a traditional festival. Tomb-Sweeping Day is rich in festivals and customs. Grave-sweeping and outing are two major themes in Tomb-Sweeping Day.
