-Qingming Festival customs-
【Ancestor worship and tomb sweeping】
The custom of tomb sweeping and ancestor worship has a long history, before the pre-Qin Dynasty, due to the different customs of the north and south in ancient times, some places do not necessarily sweep tombs at the time of the Qing Ming Dynasty. Before the Tang Dynasty, tomb sweeping in some northern areas was mainly in the Cold Food Festival and Winter Clothing Festival, and it was not until after the Tang and Song Dynasties that tomb sweeping began to prevail nationwide.
【Stepping Blue】
Since ancient times, the Chinese nation has had the custom of stepping into the green of the Qingming Dynasty. The Qingming Festival is at the turn of mid-spring and late spring, and the spring spirit is already strong, and everything is full of vitality. At this time, visiting tombs to worship ancestors and going on outings are traditional customs that have been passed down since ancient times and continue to this day.
【Insert willow】
During the Qingming Festival, Chinese folk have the custom of inserting willows. There are three general theories about the origin of the Qingming custom of inserting willows. Some experts believe that the custom of inserting willows is to commemorate the Shennongs, the ancestor of agricultural affairs who "taught the people to cultivate crops". In some places, willow branches are inserted under the eaves to forecast the weather.
