Why do you want to celebrate the Qingming Festival, this is the best answer I have ever heard

Qingming teaches us not to forget our roots

I once asked an elderly uncle: "You are so old, why do you still insist on the Qingming Festival every year?" Uncle said a sentence that touched me deeply: "If people do not have roots in this life, they will wander wherever they go." Only by standing here do you know where you have come from and where you are going. ”

In the thinking of the Chinese, the "root" is the ancestor, the relatives, and the homeland. Searching for our roots and asking our ancestors during the Qingming Festival is actually a reminder that we must not forget our roots - not only not to forget where we started from and why we started, but also to follow the teachings of our parents and inherit the spirit of our ancestors.

Qingming teaches us to say goodbye in love

There is a question on the Internet: "Will we really get the blessing of our ancestors when we worship our ancestors and sweep their graves?" Someone replied: "Worshipping ancestors, we do not believe in ghosts and gods, but believe that the love of our relatives for us will not disappear, and the memories they leave in our hearts will not disappear." ”

Death, which only changes the state of life, does not end our connection with our loved ones. In this ritual year after year, the best remembrance is to remember, but also to let go. Those words about life and death teach us to learn to say goodbye in love.

Qingming is a day about "inheritance".

I have a colleague who goes to the cemetery every Qingming Festival, and he must bring his own children. He said that this once-a-year experience will allow children to slowly learn about the continuation of the bloodline, and appreciate responsibility, etiquette and gratitude, which is more effective than saying it a hundred times.

Because the small sees the big, from this to the other. This may also be the reason why the people surnamed Yue have to go to the Hangzhou Martyrs' Shrine and the three places on both sides of the strait have to go to the Yellow Emperor's Mausoleum. Qingming is a day about "inheritance", with mourning, commemoration, responsibility, and gratitude. Whether it is the inheritance of family education or the feelings of family and country, they are all lodged in this April worship.

Don't forget to be clear and cherish the present

Qingming Festival falls in the most beautiful time of the year, but it is also the saddest of all festivals. As we walk in a hurry, don't forget to stop and look back. There is a separation in life, but death is not the end of life, forgetting is.

The sky is clear, and the willows are green

May you live up to the time and cherish the present

With the entrustment of a loved one

Live every minute bravely and calmly
