A diary about Tomb-Sweeping Day.

Spring breeze bursts, the sky is clear, and the annual Tomb-Sweeping Day is here again. Our school has a three-day holiday. My father took me to the grave, and all the people who died in our family were buried in the north mountain of my home, which is far from my home and a long way.

I remember when I was a child, every year on this day in Tomb-Sweeping Day, my father would take me to the grave. I always go to the grave happily, because as long as my father burns paper money in front of the grave, I can't care about me, just play around until my father comes to me. I don't know when I started to sweep graves. I stopped playing and making trouble, but observed each grave one by one.

With all the sacrificial objects ready, I can't wait to follow my father to the grave. On the way, I suddenly had a question, "Why did Qingming go to the grave?" So I asked my dad, and my dad also said. "April 5th is the traditional Tomb-Sweeping Day in China, which started in the Zhou Dynasty and has a history of more than 2,500 years. Qingming is a very important solar term. As soon as Qingming arrives, the temperature rises, which is a good time for spring ploughing and planting. Therefore, there are agricultural proverbs such as "plant melons and beans before and after Qingming" and "plant trees, don't live Qingming". But there is another custom in Tomb-Sweeping Day. On Qingming day, we don't move fireworks, but only eat cold food. " Dad paused, then said, "On the one hand, Tomb-Sweeping Day went to the grave to remember his deceased relatives, on the other hand, he offered sacrifices to his ancestors, hoping that their ancestors would bless the family's future generations with happiness and health."

I saw people coming and going to the cemetery to help the old and the young. I looked and looked, and my father called me again. After a while, we returned home. I feel very tired. However, although I am very tired, I am very happy. I have learned knowledge and expressed my memory and respect for my ancestors with my own actions. I think it must be meaningful. Everyone must have gone to the grave, right? Tell me how you went to the grave!
