2. Sweep the grave. In the early morning of the winter solstice, I ate a bowl of hot glutinous rice balls, followed by the second largest custom-sweeping graves. On the winter solstice, thousands of delicious dishes were prepared. Hehe, I am drooling after reading it, not to mention my ancestors who are far underground. The mountain road has eighteen bends, and it really deserves its reputation. There are too many narrow paths in the crisscross, and I don't know where it is. (Fortunately, there are adults leading the way, otherwise, it may take us several days to get there.) The hills and mountains are full of people, and people are crowded and crowded. Whether strangers or acquaintances, we all reach the same goal by different routes. At the same time, grave sweepers on the mountain greet each other and say hello to each other. Sweeping graves, of course, is to sweep the weeds in front of ancestors' graves, in my opinion. Rake with a rake, a lot of them, all of which are for adults to do. And my cousin and I climbed the mountain together. "Looking at the forest side into a peak, the distance is different." The magnificent scene; The thrilling scene of "Will be at the extreme, the other mountains all appear dwarfs under the sky.". "Chen Xie, Xiao Yue, come and bow down to your ancestors and seek peace!" The adults called us. We learn from adults: "ditto." , make everyone laugh. After shouting, we ran away again and went crazy. "It rains in succession during the Qingming Festival", but it doesn't rain today. Look at the graves of our ancestors. They are steep and desolate, which is somewhat like the feeling that pedestrians on the road want to break their souls.
3. Set off firecrackers. Fireworks are set off in the New Year, and the winter solstice is no exception. Adults often say, "New Year's Day comes after the winter solstice." This is probably the prelude to New Year's Day! I don't know who invented firecrackers. It's very interesting. Back then, my cousin and I bought several boxes, and naturally we were happy for a long time. We lit incense and detonated it with trembling hands. When the sparks splashed, we scared the shit out of us, covered our ears and ran away quickly. We stood in the house and watched the "play" with our lively hearts: "crackling", firecrackers and dog barking intertwined, and we were so happy that we couldn't spend money.
Postscript Every winter solstice, this "trio" is always performed in this way, and everything is so interesting that I have endless aftertaste ...
