Diary of solar terms customs

The ancients said: "It rains a lot during the Qingming Festival, and pedestrians on the road want to break their souls. Excuse me, where is the restaurant? The shepherd boy pointed to Xinghua Village. " When I think of this poem by a great poet in the Tang Dynasty, it seems that Tomb-Sweeping Day is coming, and the footsteps of Qingming are not far away, only one step away.

Because Tomb-Sweeping Day is at school and can't live at home. At home, it's really delicious to eat the fruit that you can't usually eat! Moreover, I can't go to the countryside to sweep the graves with my family, pay New Year greetings to the deceased, send them New Year greetings, and send them home to cook delicious food-let them wish me better in my studies and study in by going up one flight of stairs.

So, on Saturday, my father took a break in the excellent model essay copyright house and decided to take me back to my hometown to visit my grandmother. I immediately brought the Qingming fruit made at home, put a basket and a clean newspaper under it, and then carefully laid the Qingming fruit in it to avoid an accident. Finally, I put the basket in the trunk of the car. After everything was ready, our family got on the bus. On the bumpy mountain road, the car kept bumping, and then I remembered the delicious food in the trunk. I am very worried and worried. I told dad to drive slowly, especially where there are pits. We took a leisurely ride, just like an old cow dragging its legs.

After half an hour of turbulence, we finally reached grandma's grave. I'll take out the Qingming fruit and put it away. I took the incense, bowed deeply and made several obeisances. I invited Ann to my grandmother's house and asked him about the copyright of excellent model essays. After he finished the etiquette of the Chinese nation, he took out firecrackers and rang. The sound is deafening, just like thunder in the sky. Scared my brother to tears. Later, I silently made a wish in front of the grave, "I hope grandma can bless me to make faster progress in my studies, and my whole family will live a happy life, be healthy and succeed in my studies." (The process of going to the grave is not specific)

This is a traditional festival of our Chinese nation. It's so meaningful. It's unusual. It's much better. It's so interesting and unusual. There are activities, studies and delicious food. This is a festival different from other festivals. It is much more interesting and meaningful than western festivals.

A drizzling rain falls like tears on the Mourning Day; The mourner's heart is going to break on his way.

Excuse me, where is the restaurant? The shepherd boy pointed to Xinghua Village.

Everyone knows that this is a Qingming ancient poem written by Du Mu.

Today is Saturday, and my father said early in the morning, "Tomb-Sweeping Day has arrived. It is our custom in China to pay homage to the ancestral graves." I proudly said, "Who doesn't know! As if you knew. " My mother and I sang together, making my father afraid to say a word.

Our family of three came to the ancestral grave. We took out our lighters first, and then set off some small firecrackers. At first, I hid in my parents' arms and didn't even dare to look outside. Dad said, "Don't be afraid, son, there is nothing to be afraid of setting off firecrackers." Mother said, "Yes, don't be afraid to set off firecrackers." I said, "I'm scared, I'm scared!" "I used to be a person who likes to set off firecrackers. Why are you so scared now? All because of a small firecracker. That was when I was six years old. When playing again, I found a small firecracker. I let go, but it exploded so fast that my hand was bleeding with a bang. I cried in pain at that time. My neighbors saw my success and told my parents at once. My parents are scared, so take me to the hospital quickly. After we set off firecrackers and lit a few incense sticks, I learned from my parents, bowed first, and then said a word. I can't hear what my parents are saying, but I'm saying, "I'll study hard and go to college in the future, so that I can remember my parents." I know it's useless for me to just talk and not do it. I need to take practical actions. Finally, my father took out some food and wine. He poured the wine into a small teacup and then poured it on the ground in front of the tombstone. On the way home, I said, "aren't you afraid that the weeds next to you will catch fire?" They said, "Of course! But be careful. "

At home, my father took out some "clear fruits" he made for the first time. He said: "I haven't done Qingming fruit, so this Qingming fruit may be much worse than grandma's before." I tasted it and thought it was not delicious, but I ate it anyway, because I believe my father will do better next time!

Mourning day, drizzle like tears; Pedestrians on the road want to die. Ask local people where to buy wine? The shepherd boy just laughed and didn't answer Xingshan Village.

Tomb-Sweeping Day, which makes people remember their ancestors, is memorable, lamentable and exciting. It contains many stories of their ancestors. When they are buried in the grave, their story is over, and the rest is unforgettable!

As far as I know, 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 "before and after Qingming, plant melons and beans" and "planting trees is not as good as Qingming". But there is another custom in Tomb-Sweeping Day. On Qingming Day, fireworks don't move, only cold food is eaten.

Tomb-Sweeping Day, also known as Tomb Sweeping Festival, Ghost Festival and Ghost Festival, is called Sanming Festival together with Zhongyuan Festival on July 15 and Xiayuan Festival on July 10/5, which is related to offering sacrifices to ghosts and gods.

According to the old Qingming custom, when sweeping graves, people should bring food, wine, fruit, paper money and other items to the cemetery, offer food to the graves of their loved ones, then burn the paper money, cultivate new soil for the graves, break a few tender new branches and put them on the branches, then kowtow and worship, and finally go home after eating the food.

"Listening to the wind and rain" of course refers to the poem Qingming by Du Mu, a poet in the Tang Dynasty: "It rains a lot during the Qingming Festival, and pedestrians on the road want to break their souls. Ask local people where to buy wine? The shepherd boy pointed to Xinghua Village. " This poem by Du Mu describes the special atmosphere in Tomb-Sweeping Day.

Another year, Tomb-Sweeping Day. Who are you thinking about?

Many friends are asking what is clear fruit. I went to Baidu and put some information up for everyone to see:

Qingming fruit is a kind of food made around Tomb-Sweeping Day, which is said to be used to pay homage to ancestors. It is a good season to pick Qingming grass around Qingming. Soft dough is held in your hand, and there is a faint fragrance. That smell is the fragrance of spring.

Mourning day, drizzle like tears; Pedestrians on the road want to die. "Du Mu wrote this poem, everyone must be in the back? Tomb-Sweeping Day, we should visit the grave to worship our predecessors, which is the etiquette of our younger generation. Leave on Saturday afternoon.

Mom, dad, brother, cousin, my family bought food for worship and prepared to go up the mountain. Soon, at the foot of the mountain. The mountain is said to be steep, not steep and flat, but at first glance it is inclined. Although it comes once a year, it doesn't feel very strange.

On the way, we saw many graves. We look carefully, and some tombstones have a pentagonal center on them, and the color on them has faded. Later, I asked my grandmother to know about it. It turns out that this represents those who died for their country. I really want to go up to worship, but because time is limited, there is not much time to spend here, so this dream has to be dashed.

Here we are. Finally. We arranged the worship ceremony and began to burn yellow paper and other necessary things to sweep the grave. After I paid my respects, I began to stay nearby. There are a lot of tea leaves around here, which are tender and green. Although there are many graves nearby that are depressing, the birds singing in this spring are very fragrant, as if they could not be seen. I only care about myself, and I was almost left behind by them.

At the last stop, everyone was sweating on their foreheads, and it gradually seemed that our goal was not to sweep graves, but to pick tea (I hope the predecessors in the sky would not be angry). ), we chose a substitute tea. Looking at this tea, I seem to see the taste of this tea that we have treated.

Tomb-Sweeping Day will arrive tomorrow,

I got up very early in the morning. After freshening up, I recited a sentence, "It rains a lot during the Qingming Festival, and pedestrians on the road are dying." I went on my way. On the way, I saw many people set off with this small shovel and a big bag of "RMB" and "gold ingot" with respect to their ancestors.

Finally, when we arrived at the ancestral home, we set up a worship ceremony and began to talk to our dead ancestors while burning yellow paper. After I paid my respects, I began to stay nearby. There are a lot of tea leaves around here, which are tender and green. Although there are many graves nearby that are depressing, the birds singing in this spring are very fragrant, as if they could not be seen. I only care about myself, and I was almost left behind by them.

It was almost noon, and everyone reluctantly left. Some people haven't seen their parents for nine years. Reluctantly at the grave, and finally left under the persuasion of his family. ...

I was deeply moved by this grave sweeping!

Tomb-Sweeping Day's customs are rich and interesting.

According to legend, this is because Tomb-Sweeping Day wants to ban cold food and fire. In order to prevent the harm of cold food and cold meal to people, we all take part in some sports activities to exercise. Therefore, this festival is a distinctive festival, with both sad tears to sweep graves and laughter for an outing.

This is of great significance to mobilize people of all ethnic groups in China to actively carry out activities to green the motherland.

It is also Tomb-Sweeping Day's favorite activity. During their stay in Tomb-Sweeping Day, people not only wore it during the day, but also at night. At night, a string of colored lanterns is hung under the kite or on the wind-stabilizing stay, like twinkling stars, which is called "magic lamp". Someone used to put kites in the blue sky, then cut the strings and let the breeze send them to the ends of the earth. It is said that this can eliminate diseases and disasters and bring good luck to yourself.
