Parents are here, there is still a place to come in life! Parents go, there is only a way back in life!
Qingming Festival is a slightly sad festival for the mainland.
But today's article is a Qingming Festival that can make us laugh a little, or laugh and cry.
The story of a little boy who sweeps his grandfather's grave
A six-year-old boy in Yibin, Sichuan, followed his father to sweep his grandfather's grave.
After the offerings were placed, incense was burned, the grandmother cleaned up the weeds, and a cigarette was placed in front of the tombstone of my father's grandfather.

Our six-year-old boy squatted in front of his grandfather's grave, picked up a bowl of his tribute, and then respectfully asked his grandfather:
"Grandpa gave you food, do you eat it or not, hey, you don't eat it, I'll eat it." ”
A childlike voice destroyed this slightly solemn and solemn picture in an instant, and the father next to him also laughed, and the grandmother also turned around and laughed secretly.
I think that this scene, this moment, is a bit quiet and beautiful!
The father found it funny, so he recorded the conversation between the child and his grandfather's tombstone and posted it on the Internet.
This scene also made many netizens express their opinions.
There is no right or wrong view below!
This is only due to the vast territory of China and China, and the customs of various places are different from each other, but there are some differences in the understanding of some customs.
Some people were surprised and felt that the offerings could not be eaten because there might be a "blasphemy against the ancestors".
Many people express their understanding that this is actually a manifestation of family tradition, and there is no need to make a fuss.
The boy's father later said that there was nothing abnormal about this, and that in their place, when his father used to sweep the grave, the offerings were also edible, which was actually a kind of local respect for the ancestors.
The reason why there is no controversy among netizens is mainly because of the slight differences in our local customs.
Some people think it's disrespectful, while others think it's very good.
In the mainland, in the traditional festivals, tomb sweeping during the Qingming Festival is an expression of nostalgia and remembrance of ancestors throughout China, which is a kind of respect.
And what we call tomb sweeping is to go to the grave, and the offerings needed are also a kind of important position in the sacrifice.
Because the offering also represents a kind of offering and blessing for the deceased relatives by the descendants.
Burning some paper money is to buy things for the ancestors in another world, because no matter whether the other world exists or not, in our inner cognition, he exists.
Then buy some offerings and place them in front of the grave, still praying for blessings through our remembrance of our loved ones!
You can transfer the food of this world to another world through your mind, so that your deceased relatives can enjoy the food you once ate in this world.
You can say that our way is an idealistic ritual, but you can't question that our customs are feudal dross.
Whether it is burning incense or paper, or offering offerings, it is a way for everyone to express their grief or remembrance.
These things are no different from those so-called flowers.
Flowers are placed in front of the grave and offerings are placed in front of the grave to express this ritual, and there is no distinction between high and low!
It doesn't exist because the West is advanced when it uses flowers, and we are backward when we make offerings.
There is no concept of civilization and backwardness, only everyone's respect and nostalgia for the deceased.
There are also people who say that the offerings cannot be eaten, but can the offerings used in the grave be eaten?
There are local customs everywhere, and there is no very uniform statement.
As long as everyone goes to the grave and doesn't burn the newspaper, there is no problem at all!
The mainland has a vast territory, and there are many ethnic groups, and there are countless customs and habits.
Maybe you feel that the offerings are not edible, and they must be placed here for the use of the ancestors!
But we think that after the ancestors have eaten the offerings, they can be given to future generations, and we eat them respectfully.
Just like this cute little boy, as shown in the video, there is nothing wrong with grandpa not eating after eating, and then I can eat it.
It's really just a very ordinary, no longer ordinary custom.
The boy's father also said that this was actually part of their family tradition to eat offerings as a sign of respect for their ancestors.
The customs and habits of various places, whether we can accept them or not, cannot easily give good or bad evaluations to others.
Everyone has a different way of expressing emotions from person to person, and similarly, the habits of expressing rituals are different from place to place.
Our society should be inclusive!
All the cultures that we have inherited, we can appreciate in a way that we are spectators, and it is our personal freedom to like or dislike.
But you can't dismiss the culture or customs of the place because you like or dislike it.
In fact, every time we adults stand in front of the tombstones of our loved ones, we can't help but bring ourselves into a very solemn and serious atmosphere!
Looking at the lonely tombstone standing there, the person in the tombstone photo will suddenly take us into a certain fragment or a certain memory of the past.
Suddenly there's a kind of me standing in front of you, and you don't know I'm thinking about you.
I think you once carried me up the mountain and carried me around the fields.
After all, time is ruthless, and you can never get back the beauty of the beginning.
At the end of the article, I offer an incident that happened abroad and when I was sacrificing my ancestors, and I was the childlike heart of a cute little girl.
