Children dance suitable for Tomb-Sweeping Day

The dance activities arranged by two ancient poems are Qingming and Cold Food.

Tomb-Sweeping Day is a traditional major Spring Festival, and the customs of this festival mainly include sweeping graves, taking an outing, eating dumplings, flying kites, swinging, tug of war and inserting willows.

First, worship ancestors and sweep graves. Tomb-Sweeping Day visited the grave, commonly known as the grave. According to local customs, people come to the cemetery with fruits, food, paper money and other items, put their offerings in front of the cemetery, burn the paper money, add some new soil to the grave, and then kowtow to worship at the grave, so they can pack up their offerings and go home.

Second, fold the willow and give it away. Since the Han Dynasty, people have gradually formed the custom of Tomb-Sweeping Day's parting to wish each other peace. "Liu" and "Liu" are homophonic, meaning to be reluctant to part with it and stay as much as possible. At the same time, relatives and friends who want to leave are like willow branches in other places, which can quickly take root and sprout and survive everywhere, and all of them are pinning their good wishes on their relatives and friends.

Third, swing. The custom of swinging in Tomb-Sweeping Day has a long history. It was originally called Qian Qiu, but later it was changed to Swing. The earliest swings were usually made of branches and then tied with ribbons. Later it gradually developed into a swing made of two ropes and pedals. The custom of swinging in Qingming can not only exercise the body, but also exercise the courage.
