Worshiping Ancestors

祭祖

Clear and Bright is a period in which Chinese people honor nature and the ancestors of the Chinese nation. The worship of nature and ancestors can be traced to ancient times, and still matters a lot in modern society.

清明是中國(guó)人敬畏自然和祖先的時(shí)節(jié)。這可以追朔到古時(shí)候，直到現(xiàn)在意義也很重大。掃墓和祭祖是紀(jì)念逝去親人的兩個(gè)重大活動(dòng)。人們會(huì)拔除墓地周?chē)�的雜草，并添上新土以表示對(duì)逝者的關(guān)心。

Cleaning the tombs and paying respect to the dead with offerings are the two important practices to remember late relatives. Weeds around the tomb are cleared away and fresh soil is added to show care for the dead.

The dead person’s favorite food, wine and chopsticks are offered on their tombs, along with paper money. These sacrifices are all burned in the hope that the deceased will not lack food and money in the afterlife.

將死者生前最喜愛(ài)的食物、酒和筷子連同紙錢(qián)置于墳頭，焚燒祭品，希望逝者來(lái)世不會(huì)缺少食物和錢(qián)財(cái)。
