Why do people worship ancestors and mountains in the south, especially in Guangdong and Guangxi, in September of the lunar calendar?

China is an ancient country with a long history of Ming Dynasty. In the long river of history, sacrifices and mourning for ancestors will never be absent at any time or place. From big countries to small families, our ancestors will always be remembered, because only the hard work of our ancestors can win our glory today. The differentiation of regional culture in China is also obvious. For ancestor worship, there are differences between the north and the south. Generally, northerners will choose Tomb-Sweeping Day to worship their ancestors, but for the south, especially in Guangdong and Guangxi, ancestor worship is in September, because there is the Double Ninth Festival in September, which means to climb high and look far, miss their loved ones, and Chongyang also means to welcome the sun. 1. What are the forms of ancestor worship in Guangdong and Guangxi?

Ancestor worship is a belief in people's hearts, and many villagers from afar will return to their hometowns to worship their ancestors at this special time. September of the lunar calendar is the season of crisp autumn and good harvest, and the Double Ninth Festival in September is one of our traditional festivals. The form of ancestor worship in Guangdong and Guangxi is very grand, and the day before ancestor worship, the family will discuss what to do on the day of ancestor worship. In the morning of ancestor worship, a lot of food should be prepared, cooked chickens, ducks and geese are essential, tea and rice wine should be full, and sacrifices such as burning paper, firecrackers and glutinous rice should be prepared. Then the whole family of men will go up the mountain to the ancestral grave with sacrificial things, and first use weeding tools to eradicate and repair weeds. Then, set up sacrificial supplies, set off firecrackers, burn paper money, pray, and the ceremony is completed. Second, the benefits of ancestor worship in September of the lunar calendar

Sacrificing ancestors in September of the lunar calendar has existed since ancient times. The Double Ninth Festival originated from a Taoist fairy tale. The story describes an ancient man named Huan Jing in the Eastern Han Dynasty. At that time, there was a plague in the surrounding villages, and many people died because of this plague demon. Then the man finally killed the plague demon for the people after learning from his teacher. At that time, the lunar calendar was in September, so this story has been widely circulated and people will repeat it at this time. Up to now, the benefits of ancestor worship in September of the lunar calendar are still preserved, because September of the lunar calendar coincides with October of the new calendar, and there will be more holidays. If you choose this time to worship your ancestors, you will have plenty of time.

Not only in the south, especially in Guangdong and Guangxi, the custom of worshipping ancestors and worshipping mountains is very strong, as is the case in other areas, because we are all descendants of dragons who never forget our ancestors. Ancestor worship is a kind of traditional culture, and to some extent, ancestor worship has also brought about continuous cultural exchanges.
