Hometown folk culture essay 2000 words

In Qixian County in the east of Henan Province, the third day of the first lunar month, Tomb-Sweeping Day, the first day of July and the first day of October are sacrificial days. Up to now, this traditional folk sacrifice custom is still continuing. On the third day of the first month, in Tomb-Sweeping Day, on the first day of October, most people burn paper for their deceased elders, but the first day of July has faded. This consciously observed sacrificial folk custom has not been officially made into a red-headed document, and no one has held a meeting to implement it. If someone didn't go to the grave that day and didn't burn paper in front of the grave, it seems that there is an invisible social pressure. In the words of rural people: "Let people look down."

Those of us who work and settle in other places have to go back at least once a year, or on the third day of the first month, or in Tomb-Sweeping Day. On that day, if you don't go back to your hometown to burn paper, you should also burn a piece of paper for your parents or elders in the place where you live, mostly on the road with intersections, and leave a mouth in the direction of your hometown.

No matter where you burn paper, you can mourn. If you don't burn paper, you always feel a psychological pressure. This kind of psychological pressure sometimes leads to nightmares, especially for daughters, who always dream of their father or mother. The old people said, "Your parents have no money to spend, but they still come to you for money (burning paper means giving money)." In order to stop having nightmares, I quickly bought a piece of paper and burned it underground, which relieved my psychological pressure and stopped having nightmares.
