Jinhua New Year some kind of custom source?

To share with you the local customs and traditions on New Year's Day. In school, with people to tell us that the first day of the year to go to the ancestral tomb, others are puzzled, we think it is the Qingming Festival only to go to the tomb, the first day of the year why go? In fact, I am not very clear about this question, I did not ask the elders, anyway, since we grew up in this way, we also take it as a habit. But the reason should be and I think not too much difference.

After the New Year's Eve, it is to the new year, the custom of New Year's Eve everywhere, we chose to go to the grave on the first day of the year the reason, it should also be the meaning of the New Year's Eve, we first to the grandparents after the New Year's Eve, the beginning of the second year before starting to go to relatives and friends to pay tribute to New Year's Eve. So we have always been to the dead as the eldest, the first day of the year to pay tribute to them first, also belongs to the more traditional customs. Of course, every place is different, maybe we are more important to this aspect! On the first day of the year, we all get up according to the usual is almost, eight or nine o'clock, relatives converge together to go to the cemetery on the grave to pay homage to the New Year, to the cemetery, everyone is burning firecrackers to celebrate the Spring Festival, lighted candles, burning incense, everyone in the year's wish to inform the ancestors, praying for the ancestors to bless this year, everyone safe and sound, good fortune and so on. Usually on the afternoon of the first day of the year, people go to the Buddhist temples more often, the purpose is very clear, are for the new year to pray for blessings.

Of course, the New Year's Eve is after the Lantern Festival is considered to be the real New Year's Spring Festival, so we will also be on that day on the grave. This tomb is slightly different, most of the people are in the afternoon dusk ten, to go to the ancestors graveside lighting. Because of this day, there are dragon lanterns, light the lanterns is to let the ancestors with us *** enjoy the fun of welcoming the dragon lanterns, *** gather Lantern.

Every year these are indispensable things for us, one is the feeling of respect, two is the feeling of remembrance, three is the vision of the future, a kind of trust.
