"During the Qingming Festival, it rains a lot, and the pedestrians on the road want to break their souls" When I saw this poem, I thought of the Qingming Festival, but how much do you know about this important solar term? Today, Xiaobian attaches many pictures to popularize the traditional customs of the Qingming Festival.
First of all, this festival is mainly used to remember the ancestors. Qingming Festival is one of the four traditional sacrificial festivals in the mainland, and ancestor worship and tomb sweeping are the main contents of this day. Usually, people bring fruits and flowers on this day and come to the cemetery of their ancestors to sprinkle and worship. Not forgetting the ancestors and paying attention to family affection are also the fine qualities of the Chinese nation.
The highlight of the day is the Youth League. Qingtuan is a snack in the south of the Yangtze River and a special food for the Qingming Festival. It is made from wormwood juice and stirred into glutinous rice flour and served with a sweet bean paste filling. A turquoise youth league and early spring are very appropriate.
The willow is a sign of spring, when the vegetation is renewed and the branches sprout green shoots. Since ancient times, people have the custom of folding willows and inserting willows, and willows also have the meaning of retaining relatives and friends who part. When you go out in spring, fold a willow and wear it on your head to go out, and there is also the meaning of warding off evil spirits and praying for peace.
In addition to planting willows, Qingming is also indispensable for planting trees. Planting trees at this time of vitality is not only a memorial but also a symbol of hope in traditional culture. At the same time, it is in line with the concept of modern environmental protection.
Before and after the Qingming Festival, the earth rejuvenated, and all things recovered. It is also the best time for people to go out, and the custom of going out in Qingming can be traced back to the pre-Qin period. The beautiful scenery of a good day, cultivating the body and mind, is a great joy in life.
The ancients would also swing at this time, an activity that was a popular game in the Tang Dynasty. It can also exercise while having fun, and it is loved by the public.
Kites, also known as "paper kites", are also one of the traditional activities that people love during the Qingming Festival. The ancients also believed that flying a kite could take away a year's bad luck and bring good luck.
The wind rises during the Qingming Festival, and while missing the old people, there is also hope for life.
