Roots of Xiangyang Essay

Day after day, it's New Year's Eve, and the bell for New Year's Eve 2009 has already rung. According to the usual practice, it is time to go to Daishan grandfather's grave to pay respect. I'm not sure how I feel about this, but I'm sure that I'll be able to get the best out of it, and I'll be able to get the best out of it.

First, I came to my grandpa's grave. Before I was born, my grandpa left me. I heard my father say that my grandfather was a very great man, who could write a handful of atmospheric brush characters. I stood in front of the grave, lit three sticks of incense, respectfully worshiped, inserted in the ground, and picked up a bouquet of flowers and gave them to my grandfather. My father handed a few cigarettes to my grandfather. Everything seemed so solemn. All around the quiet, we are contemplating, all in the silent blessing of grandpa, may he be happy in heaven, smile brightly forever ......

Grandpa, rest in peace!

At this point, my dad asked me, "Do you know why people pay their respects today?" I shook my head. Dad added: "You are our daughter, the two of us are related by blood, but without Grandpa, there would be no me, and there would be no you ......" I thought carefully about my dad's words, so, we are here to find our roots? I told my dad about this idea and he nodded. Yes, searching for roots, I, Dad, Grandpa ...... have blood relations, our grandparents had children, the children grew up, and then again children, and so on from one generation to the next. Worship the age, searching for roots, which are two seemingly unrelated, but interrelated two things to do, how sacred ah!

Dad asked me again: "Do you know where the source of our bloodline is? Yes, it is impossible to find, but the earliest source we know of is in the Chen family of Quyiqi Tang in Crabpo, Ningbo, which is a large family with thirteen brothers,**** there are seven houses in the east and eight houses in the west." I couldn't help but marvel at the enormity of the Chen family, to which I belonged. I can not help but be proud.
