Auspicious time for grave-sweeping in the second day of Tomb-Sweeping Day in 2020: 13- 15 There is no time. Why did Tomb-Sweeping Day sweep the grave?
It is said that the origin of Tomb-Sweeping Day began with the ceremony of offering sacrifices to the tombs of ancient emperors, and later people followed suit. On this day, offering sacrifices to ancestors and sweeping graves became a fixed custom of the Chinese nation.
According to legend, there was a custom of setting up an altar to worship the tomb in the pre-Qin period, and later it gradually evolved into worship in front of the tomb.
Sacrifice to cold food tombs formed a custom in the Southern and Northern Dynasties. According to the records of Xuanzong in the old Tang Dynasty, there was no written record of the grave-sweeping ceremony at the Cold Food Festival, but in modern times, it had already become a custom, and the scholar's home was full of sacrifices during the Cold Food Festival.
In view of this long-standing custom, Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty issued a decree in the twentieth year of Kaiyuan: It is always a routine to let ordinary people visit graves and incorporate them into the Five Rites. Sacrifice at the Cold Food Festival is defined as a custom, which is also the reason why Tomb-Sweeping Day visited the grave.
In China, people pay attention to the pursuit of the future with caution, and numerous sacrificial activities have appeared to adapt to this concept.
With the passage of history, most of these activities have declined. Only the grave-sweeping activity in Tomb-Sweeping Day has survived to this day, so it is regarded as one of the oldest folk customs by experts.
