Tomb, a Chinese word, also known as tomb, cemetery, a place where the dead are buried. From: "Book of the Later Han·Biography of Dou Rong": You Fufeng was ordered to repair Rong's father's tomb, and the temple was built as a prison. Zhou Libo's "The Storm" Part 1 Thirteen: Go and see the tomb of our skirt, just outside the north gate.
The grave is a place that should be respected, not feared. Because the grave means the end of a life, and people will die one day. When you walk into a cemetery, you will always feel a sense of tranquility and solemnity, which is a reverence for life. Victor Hugo's "Speech in Commemoration of the Centenary of the Death of Voltaire": Since night comes from the throne, let light come from the tomb.
Sweeping tombs during the Qingming Festival is a time of respect for ancestors. Its custom has a long history. "A Brief Introduction to the Scenery of the Imperial Capital" of the Ming Dynasty records: During the Qingming Festival in the third month, men worship their ancestors during the Qingming Festival. They carry bamboo poles on their shoulders, hang pu ingots on the backs of sedans and horses, and the streets are filled with charms. Those who worship, those who pray, those who weep, those who weed and add soil to the tomb, burn ingots and put paper money on the tomb.
If there is no paper money in sight, you will be alone in your grave. After crying, he did not return. He went to the fragrant trees, chose a garden, and sat in rows until he was drunk. In fact, tomb-sweeping existed before the Qin Dynasty, but not necessarily during the Qingming Festival. Tomb-sweeping during the Qingming Festival was something after the Qin Dynasty. It did not become popular until the Tang Dynasty.
