First, it is fragrant. When Tomb-Sweeping Day visits the grave, he must bring incense. It is necessary to burn incense in front of the grave to worship the ancestors. Therefore, there were many cases of mountain fires caused by grave sweeping in the past. Now, after the establishment of Qinsitang, there is a special place for everyone to burn incense, light candles and burn paper money. The design of this place is very reasonable, there will be no more danger and no pollution to the environment. People are also very conscious and will be here. After completing this series of operations, they will go to their ancestors' houses to sweep their graves. Second, take silk flower. When people sweep graves in a civilized way, they will bring a bunch of chrysanthemums to express their thoughts about their ancestors. But flowers will soon wither, and indoors, dried flowers will attract all kinds of bugs. Therefore, people choose a beautiful silk flower and put it next to the portrait of their ancestors, which can not only accompany their ancestors for a long time, but also play a decorative role.
Third, bring a few hundred yuan of Mingbi. When people go to worship their ancestors, they must bring some 100 yuan of mingbi. These coins of 100 yuan are not used for burning, but like silk flower, they are put aside for ancestors to enjoy. This is a sign of their ancestors. People think that if their ancestors lived well underground, they would bless their descendants with peace and good luck. Fourth, bring cake. The cakes here are not green balls or rice cakes. Those rot easily. Generally, people will buy packaged step-by-step cakes or packaged cookies. This kind of cake doesn't go bad easily, even if it expires, it won't smell. Don't put it next year, throw it away and put a few more pieces. This is the staple food of ancestors, and it is also a good implication for stepping up.
Fifth, bring snacks. The snacks here have the meaning of representative dishes, generally packaged chicken pieces, meat pieces, dried tofu and so on. Like the cakes above, this kind of food does not rot, deteriorate, expire or smell. It can be kept for a whole year and replaced next year, so that there will be no unpleasant smell and the air will be fresh. Sixth, bring a golden rice bowl. Of course, the golden rice bowl is not really made of pure gold, but of metal, but it looks exquisite and has a good grade on it. This is also the ancestor that the younger generation hopes to die, with food and clothing, and a happy and peaceful life in another world. At the same time, I also hope that ancestors can bless their families with good luck and all their wishes come true.
First, there are no flowers. People used to take flowers to the grave, but some people found that flowers would be taken away when they left. In this way, Tomb-Sweeping Day can get high profits. Now, after we gather them together, it won't happen again. Flowers that no one takes away will gradually wither and rot, have an unpleasant smell and attract all kinds of bugs, so people don't take flowers now. Second, don't eat fruit and food. No matter how good the fruit and food are, they will rot, give off an unpleasant smell and attract rats' bites, so the new regulations require that these foods should not be taken. In addition, fruits such as pears have bad connotations, so it is better not to bring them. There are peaches, which are considered to have the function of exorcism and cannot be used to sweep graves, so it is best not to bring fruit.
Third, there is nothing to ward off evil spirits. Things that can't be used to ward off evil spirits, such as Yu Pei, peach wooden sword and cinnabar, represent repression and punishment, which will do great harm to the souls of ancestors. Many people will take their children to the grave to let their ancestors know their children. If the child is holding a peach wooden sword toy at this time, it will be very bad and will disturb the rest of the deceased. Even peach blossoms can't be taken away, which is why peaches can't be sacrificed.
