Operating steps:
1. Worship old friends
One of the most important activities in Tomb-Sweeping Day is to worship old friends. On this day, people will go to the grave of the deceased, burn incense, offer flowers and offer sacrifices to express their thoughts on the deceased. Some people will burn paper money in front of the tomb and pray for peace in the spirit of heaven.

Sweeping graves is another way to pay tribute to old friends. People will clean up the vegetation and sundries around the cemetery and make the cemetery clean and tidy. Some people will also put some items that old friends like in front of their graves, such as candy and fruit, to express their nostalgia for old friends.
Step 3 remember the martyrs
Besides paying homage to the old friends, Tomb-Sweeping Day is also a day to remember the martyrs. People will go to martyrs' cemeteries, revolutionary martyrs' tombs and other places to pay tribute to the martyrs who died for their country. Some people will lay wreaths in front of the martyrs' tombs to show their respect for the martyrs.
Remember old friends and martyrs.
Tomb-Sweeping Day is an emotional festival. On this day, people will recall their dead relatives and martyrs and feel the fragility and preciousness of life. Paying homage to old friends, sweeping graves and remembering martyrs are all activities to express the memory of the deceased and the awe of life.
"There are many rains during the Qingming period, and pedestrians on the road want to break their souls." This is a famous sentence by Du Mu, a poet in the Tang Dynasty, which describes Tomb-Sweeping Day's sad mood. However, Tomb-Sweeping Day is also a festival full of hope. While remembering the dead, we should also cherish every day in front of us and be grateful to everyone in our lives.
On this special day, let's pay homage to our old friends, sweep graves, remember the martyrs, express our nostalgia for the dead and cherish our lives.
