Why was it 150 two days ago in Tomb-Sweeping Day?

"One hundred and fifty, swallows come to add soil". On the day of "150", the swallows returned from the south and began to build their nests with mud. My hometown pays attention to, "150, add soil." On the morning of one hundred and fifty, men took shovels to their ancestors' graves to add soil. And the taboo of this day is, "150, don't burn paper."

Cold Food Festival

The Cold Food Festival is also called Big Cold Food. It is said that the origin of the Cold Food Festival is to commemorate the meson push, the national smoking ban, and the whole people drink cold porridge.

The stress here in my hometown is, "Great cold food, grave". In the afternoon of Cold Food Festival, women wrap jiaozi, put it in a bowl after cooking, and wrap chopsticks, a hip flask, a small wine glass, fire paper and so on. By the way, the men took them to the cemetery to worship their ancestors.

Qingming Festival

Tomb-Sweeping Day is one of the 24 solar terms. There are many exquisite things in my hometown, such as inserting willow branches, eating boiled eggs, swinging, going to my parents' house and visiting Gongye Chang Academy. And Tomb-Sweeping Day's taboo is, "Tomb-Sweeping Day, don't go to the grave".

Uncle Wang also said: Because these three days are not consistent, sometimes there will be overlapping. The older generation made it a custom to set the two days before Qingming as 150, and the day before Qingming as the Cold Food Festival. The order of these three days is: 150, Great Cold Festival, Tomb-Sweeping Day.
