last qingming festival,i return home to worship my grandfather.qingming festival is a folk festival.in the past,the qingming festival was called "arbor day". but today, chinese visit their family graves to tend to any underbrush that has grown. *s are pulled, and dirt swept away, and the family will set out offerings of food and spirit money. unlike the sacrifices at a family's home altar, the offerings at the tomb usually consist of dry, bland food. one theory is that since any number of *s rome around a grave area, the less appealing food will be consumed by the ancestors, and not be plundered by strangers.
with the passing of time, this celebration of life became a day to the honor past ancestors. following folk religion, the chinese beli*d that the spirits of deceased ancestors looked after the family. sacrifices of food and spirit money could keep them happy, and the family would prosper through good harvests and * children.
去年清明节，我回家拜访我的祖父。清明节是民间的节日。过去，清明节被称作植树节。但是现在，中国人去往他们的家庭墓地去看那些新生的*木。除去杂*，清理*，家*会放一些事物和冥钱之类的东西。不像家庭的家用*，在目的放置的东西通常是干燥、*性的食物。有一种理论认为，既然一个墓*旁边有很多鬼魂，那么缺乏吸引力的食物将会被祖先们食用，而不是被陌生人夺走。
随着时间的推移，这样的生活庆祝成了祖先光荣的日子。继承民间*，中国人认为，死去的祖先的灵魂照顾着家人。供上一些事物和金钱可以让灵魂感到开心，家里就会有得到好运，有好收成或有更多的孩子。
