Why did Tomb-Sweeping Day tie a red rope to the door?

The third day of the third lunar month is a traditional festival for the Han nationality and many ethnic minorities. On the third day of the third lunar month, it was called Shangsi Festival in ancient times. According to legend, March 3rd is the birthday of the Yellow Emperor. China has had "On February 2nd, the dragon looked up; Born in Xuanyuan on March 3. " Qingming is a day to worship ancestors and sweep graves; In addition, it is also called "Walking Festival". Tomb-Sweeping Day is not fixed every year, from April 4th to 6th, depending on the solar terms, so March 3rd and April 5th of the lunar calendar are nothing special. If you have to add something, I suggest you go out for an outing, don't be gloomy and enjoy the sunshine.
