This year's Tomb-Sweeping Day coincides with the third day of the third lunar month. According to folklore, the third day of March is the birthday of the Queen Mother, and a flat peach party is held on this day. In order to prevent the flat peach from recruiting boys from the world, it is necessary to eat peaches and homophonic "escape" to escape this robbery. In addition, in the south, the third day of March is in spring, and various infectious diseases and plagues are easy to spread. Therefore, southerners think that this day is unlucky, and people will hold activities such as flying kites on this day to take the meaning of "preventing bad luck".

Tomb-Sweeping Day eats canned peaches. I think this is just a psychological hint that people are seeking good luck and avoiding disasters. It has no practical significance at all, and there is nothing wrong with not eating them.
