In 2022, what day does the new grave but society mean?
Every year when Tomb-Sweeping Day comes, we will encounter rainy days. According to folklore, if it rains in Tomb-Sweeping Day, it means that there will be a bumper harvest this year, but this is just a common saying. There is still a lot of pressure in Tomb-Sweeping Day this day. Besides sweeping graves and offering sacrifices to ancestors, we can also go for an outing in the park.
It is exactly this day in Tomb-Sweeping Day in 2022.
This pressure is directed at the new grave. In 2022, Spring Society Day is March 2 1 day, the first day of February in the Year of the Tiger. As for social days, according to the data of previous years, the social days in ancient China were divided into "Spring Society Day" and "Autumn Society Day", in which the Spring Society prayed for the valley and prayed for the blessing and harvest of the social gods. February's Spring Festival is the Spring Festival to worship the "God of Land" and "God of Grain", also known as the Zhonghe Festival, which places the prayers of the working people in ancient China for a better life.
We often hear in our daily life that Tomb-Sweeping Day is not a social festival. Generally speaking, this means that we can't celebrate the social day to help the new grave sweep, that is, March 3. Generally, the new grave needs to be worshipped before March 3, and we can't go to worship after March 3. There is a saying that "new graves are not enough for social use" in many places in China. It refers to sweeping graves before the Spring Festival society (people who died in the previous year or that year, and people who died in some areas within three years after their death). So you should know when to worship.
It is a good choice for Tomb-Sweeping Day to go out for an outing. The custom of outing has a long history and was formed as early as the pre-Qin period. In the Song Dynasty, the wind of outing was the most popular and passed down from generation to generation. Going for an outing is also called a spring outing. In ancient times, it was also called exploring spring and seeking spring. During the Qingming Festival, spring returns to the earth, the sun is shining, everything is reviving, and the world is full of vitality. It is a good time to go for an outing. You can go out with three or five friends and relive your friendship.
It is a very poetic activity to fold willows to bid farewell. Since the Han Dynasty, people have had the custom of breaking willows to say goodbye to each other in Tomb-Sweeping Day to wish each other peace. Because "Liu" and "Liu" are homophonic, they also take the meaning of reluctance and keep it as much as possible. At the same time, relatives and friends who want to leave are like willow branches in other places, which can quickly take root and sprout and live everywhere, and all of them are pinning their good wishes on their relatives and friends. During our stay in Tomb-Sweeping Day, we can also fold willows and leave them at home or give them to friends.
