Three points

One thing to do: clean up the weeds

During the Qingming Dynasty, spring is full of warm flowers, grass sprouts, trees sprout, and it is full of life.

However, the dead grass and weeds left behind last year still exist, covering the entire cemetery, and this year's grass has just emerged, the dry grass and weeds make people feel very desolate, and it can also be seen whether this descendant has come to clean and worship, whether the descendants are full of descendants, and the descendants are rich and auspicious.

Therefore, when the Qingming season comes, people must clean up the weeds around the cemetery and keep the cemetery clean and tidy.

Second, cultivate soil and fill in soil

After cleaning up the weeds, there is another task next, that is, to fill the soil and cultivate the soil.

Cemetery grave head is mostly land, a year after wind and sun, rainstorm washing and man-made destruction, etc., the soil of the grave head is often lost or washed, not only potholes are uneven, and soil erosion is serious, it is indeed necessary to fill the soil and cultivate the soil.

Bring a shovel when you sweep the festival, don't forget to fill in the soil and cultivate the soil, but also to repair the house for the ancestors to ensure the safety of rest.

Three points: the paper burns out

When sacrificing ancestors, it is indispensable to make various sacrifices, and finally to send some paper money, paper dollar treasures and so on.

Usually, when the worship is renewed, it is burned and offered. At this time, it is necessary to ensure that the paper money is burned out. It is not only to ensure that the money given to the ancestor can be fully received, but also to bless the children and grandchildren with peace and happiness. The key is that the dry grass still exists in the spring, the fire prevention task cannot be relaxed, and the safety hazards still exist.

Therefore, when burning paper, it is necessary to burn it completely, make sure that the paper is completely burned, and then leave after the fire is extinguished, it seems that there is still a certain reason.
