Will Tomb-Sweeping Day burn its baggage in 2020, and will Tomb-Sweeping Day be unfit for traveling the next day?
In Tomb-Sweeping Day, the tradition of burning buns is the main form of ancestor worship. The so-called baggage, also known as package, refers to the package that Xiao sent from Shi Yang to the underworld. Those who mow the grass and add soil to the grave will burn the ingots several times and then buy the grave with paper money.
Moreover, Tomb-Sweeping Day usually chooses the crossroads to burn the baggage! The intersection has four directions and eight sides. No matter how far away the deceased relatives are, they can receive banknotes from the living relatives.
From the perspective of traditional folklore, burning paper money at the crossroads requires a special ceremony or a special ceremony. Besides burning paper money at intersections, there are many things at intersections, including traditional folk ceremonies, sending body double to the body and sending ghosts and gods.
Metaphysics believes that when burning clothes and paper money for ancestors, we should try to choose one side of the crossroads or the side of the fork in the road. This is because it is convenient for ghosts to run around and deliver clothes to your ancestors as soon as possible. Some people think that ghosts should go their own way and never get entangled with paper burners, and it can also prevent other ghosts from harassing paper burners.
