Can Tomb-Sweeping Day make up to worship his ancestors?

You can make up.

Tomb-Sweeping Day is a festival to worship ancestors, so on this day, it is best not to wear too much makeup, because it will feel less solemn and unnatural. If you don't know, you may think you're here to dance, but you may not. The effect of natural makeup is quite good, and the range of choices is quite large. We can use light pink or bean paste color as lip makeup, and the foundation color is too white.

China people's sacrifice to their ancestors is a kind of moral belief, a poetic act of expressing emotions, and gratitude and memory from individual emotions. Feng Youlan once said, "It is not because ghosts and gods really exist, but because people who worship their ancestors are filial to their ancestors, so the significance of the ceremony is poetic, not religious."

Everyone knows that "a drop of wine has never touched Jiuquan", but we believe that our relatives and ancestors can receive our affection and sacrifice. This solemn ceremony is a perceptual, poetic and moral truth.
