Rain and solar terms reading activities

Tomb-Sweeping Day is both a solar term and a festival. Also known as March Festival in ancient times, it has a history of more than 2,000 years. "Everything grows at this time, and everything is clean and bright. So it is called Qingming. " After Tomb-Sweeping Day, the rain increased, everything changed from yin to yang, and the old was abandoned to welcome the new, which was full of spring tranquility. In the eyes of modern people, "Qingming" is more closely related to grave sweeping and memorial service. This is because the day before in Tomb-Sweeping Day was the Cold Food Festival. Legend has it that cold food originated from Jin Wengong's mourning for Jie Zhitui. Later, Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty was moved by this story. In the twentieth year of Kaiyuan, he ordered the world to "eat cold food at the grave" and listed it as one of the "Five Rites" at that time. Cold food and Qingming are only one day apart. For the map, people simply decided to sweep graves in Qingming, which was more popular in Ming and Qing Dynasties. After the founding of New China, people also chose to sweep the tombs of martyrs on this day to remember the revolutionary ancestors.

"Every year, there is still the wind of elders everywhere. "There has always been the habit of sweeping graves. Every time we go to Tomb-Sweeping Day, the descendants of each family will bring wine, fruit, paper money and firecrackers to the graves of their ancestors, offer food to their ancestors, then burn paper money, light firecrackers to pray for blessings, cultivate new soil for the graves, plant some flowers or fold some green branches and insert them in front of the graves, and then kowtow to worship. Finally, they must eat the wine before going home.

It rains every year in Tomb-Sweeping Day, and it flies like tears! I am also used to Tomb-Sweeping Day looking at getting wet; If we make an exception on a sunny day, I always feel that this festival is incomplete, and some are incomplete. Perhaps, only such feelings and scenes can give some comfort to the lost soul!

The dead are gone, please cherish the present. In front of the tomb of Qingming, infinite sadness will be expressed, tears of worshippers will string together a string of wet memories, and warm spring breeze will not erase sad eyes. The long journey of life will not stop. The continuation of the family vein is a series of bold ellipsis. The old man's white hair is the most striking question mark in Tomb-Sweeping Day. Filial piety and support are the only correct choice, and also the best interpretation of Qingming by the descendants of the Yellow Emperor. Let filial piety exist day by day, insist on being kind to parents and the elderly, stand in the gentle breeze blowing in the sunny days of warm spring and April, don't face lifeless tombstones, faint sighs and endless self-blame, bear a cold heart and wail in the wind.
