China culture pays attention to filial piety, and Tianjin folk customs are simple since ancient times. Tianjin people cherish the memory of their deceased family ancestors and attach great importance to sacrificial ceremonies. Among the three "Ghost Festivals" every year, Tomb-Sweeping Day is the most important one (the other two "Ghost Festivals" refer to the Mid-Autumn Festival on July 15 and the Cold Clothes Delivery Day on 10/day in the summer calendar).

Tomb-Sweeping Day, commonly known as "Ghost Order" in Tianjin, worships ancestors around Qingming Festival 10, and the best day is to visit graves in Tomb-Sweeping Day (Tianjin people once called it "adding graves" and later renamed it "going to graves"), which is an important custom handed down in Tianjin.

In wuqing district (formerly Wuqing County), cooked jiaozi was added to the sacrifice, and some grave-sweepers broke pine branches and put them on their chests or heads. Some extended families have the custom of eating Tomb-Sweeping Day.
