Amid the explosion of the rumbling two kicks, the most solemn festival of the year in China - the Spring Festival is here.

Now in the city, there are various restrictions on the setting up of fireworks and firecrackers, which makes the New Year atmosphere seem to be much weaker. But in the countryside, if you don’t set off firecrackers, then what’s the New Year!

Listen to the rumbling of various firecrackers, which made all the negative emotions that people had accumulated for a year disappear with the deafening explosion. Even children know that it’s the New Year! It’s the New Year!

The second kicks are one after another, and the firecrackers are never stopped. After you finish singing, you will appear. "Pais..." sounds endlessly. Before this sounds, you will continue to ring there. Occasionally, firecrackers explode in the high sky, blooming a gorgeous flower, bursting out stars, and lighting up a sky.

Don’t worry if you are sleepy or unable to sleep, you will wake up at five or six o’clock this day, and you must wake up! You can’t fall asleep even if you want to!

Not only was the sound of firecrackers shocking, but there was also something that must be done during the Spring Festival this day. It was to worship ancestors before the sun rose and to burn paper to the cemetery for the deceased relatives.

Not only to burn paper, but also to make a pot of wine and a few kicks according to custom. Now that life is good, people are not short of these firecrackers. Many families have to set off a few firecrackers and a few firecrackers when worshiping ancestors, so that their deceased ancestors can spend a good New Year with them. Pray for their ancestors to bless their family with a happy life, good health and all the best in the coming year!

However, like the customs of many places, in the Banshan Village, the tomb sweeping during the Spring Festival can only be done by men at home. And it is usually young men, children and grandchildren, who get up early to burn paper money and toast glasses of wine for the deceased elders. Women must not go to the cemetery, and it seems that there is something unlucky when they hear the elderly.

Wang Yong felt that it was because men felt sorry for women. Because worshiping ancestors was to go to the cemetery at the coldest time before dawn, and the cemetery was usually in the wild farmland, and the way there was also a small road for busy farming and autumn harvest. Not to mention driving, it was quite difficult to walk even by bicycle.

Especially in the mountainous areas of Banshan Village, you can only walk up the mountain. When the mountain breeze blows, it will be so cold! When you come back from burning the paper, your hands and feet will definitely be cold, and you will be numb!

"Wang Yong? Have you gotten up?" Wang Yong heard someone calling him, and he remembered in a daze that he was going to worship his ancestors today, so he quickly got up and put on his clothes and walked out.

"I haven't woken up yet? I'm leaving, it's a little late!"

"Ah! When did you come back?" Wang Yong was shocked when he looked at Wang Qiang and Wang Gang who suddenly appeared in front of him. He went to bed last night after being pulled by Wang Qian for more than half an hour. At that time, he didn't hear these two guys coming!

"Stop talking! Wang Liang and I were going there before, but this year the team has grown a lot! Is it? Liang?" As the boss of this generation, Wang Qiang is absolutely indispensable for burning paper during the Spring Festival! No matter how busy he is in his work, he has to go to his home to lead this solemn thing this morning every year.

"No, I have never participated since my brother graduated from college. Every time I go with my elder brother. You all come back this year, and you are the ones you are the ones you are the ones you are! I will leave the money to you." Wang Liang, who had just returned two days, echoed Wang Qiang and said.

"Okay! Stop talking nonsense, hurry up! It will be dawn in a while!" Wang Gang had never participated in this event, so he was very curious and could not wait to urge him.

"Let's go! Wang Liang is going to get paper money, I'll get firecrackers, you two are leaving with flashlights!" Wang Yong got up late and quickly changed his mind.

"Okay! We're all ready! We're waiting for you, hurry up and leave!" Wang Qiang, as the eldest brother, mercilessly exposed Wang Yong's guise.

The four brothers, each with worship objects and a shovel, left the house and walked to their own graves in the back mountain. On the way, they met people from the village who also went to the grave to burn paper. They greeted each other, walked together for a while, or immediately parted ways and went their separate ways.

The four brothers worked hard to climb to the grave behind the house with flashlights. The ancestors of the Wang family were buried here, including Wang Yong's grandparents and parents. Almost all the tombs of the ancestors were filled up when they were leveling the graves and returning to the fields. The graves could not be found at all, so they could only burn some paper money at a rough location and muttered a few times. Only the four graves of grandparents and parents were piled up there conspicuously, Yu Qingshan was accompanying him and guarding the mountain, the village, and the relatives in the village.

The four of them walked carefully for almost half an hour and finally arrived at their own cemetery halfway up the mountain. Wang Qiang, the leader, immediately began to assign three younger brothers to their own way, and did not dare to delay at all, because the horizon had turned white and there was almost no time left.

Wang Yong lit the paper, Wang Liang and Wang Gang set off fire, and Wang Qiang himself wanted to sprinkle the wine from the wine pot around the grave after Wang Yong lit the paper money, and toast the deceased relatives. Then, they would round the grave together and fill in the maps for the grave, and the ancestor worship would be over.

Wang Yong took out his lighter and lit the paper money cut out of very rough straw paper. In the past, people bought paper and made it by themselves. They used a real money of fifty or one hundred to make molds and gestured a complete piece of paper on the paper. There were also paper money cut with scissors, which was the kind of paper money with shapes in the middle that people often saw on TV and movies. However, they were not disassembled locally, and they were all a whole piece.

However, after the economy develops and everyone's lives improve, these things are bought directly. Generally, you can buy five small bundles for ten yuan, and you also have to buy a stack of printed ghost coins. This is a super big ticket worth 100 million yuan each!

The paper burning this year was prepared by the aunt. Each of the four relatives was a large bundle, forty yuan. The money was not much, but it represented the grief and condolences of the people living in the world for these deceased relatives.

Wang Yong lit four piles of paper money in turn, and Wang Qiang then sprinkled wine one by one. Generally speaking, the wine pot is filled with ordinary water, not real wine. This is just a meaning. However, before going to bed last night, Wang Yong told his godmother that the wine pot is filled with aged tribute wine with a history of more than 300 years.

Now everyone's life is getting better, and a few bottles of hops don't cost much, so many people start to use real wine to worship, instead of filling water with it just like before. Of course, there are also many people who don't say that the Spring Festival worship is, and they even spend the Spring Festival outside and will not come at all.

This year, after Wang Yong had that adventure, his life had undergone earth-shaking changes. He came into contact with people and things he had never dared to think about before, such as Zhang Kai's family. If it weren't for this adventure, he would probably not have the chance at all. Neither the second master nor the younger uncle would be willing to let himself contact these politicians who are high above the eyes of ordinary people. "Boom, boom, boom..." The second kicking foot kept blowing sparks in the sky, responding from a distance to the sound of firecrackers. A thousand firecrackers had been lit, and they could not wait to ring out "crackling", the sound was deafening, spreading from afar under the starry sky, spreading from afar to the ground, causing the deceased relatives to wake up from their sleep and celebrate the New Year with everyone!

Among the flames and red light that were beating after the paper money was burning, the four brothers with red faces were all muttering or silently chanting their wishes in their hearts, hoping that the deceased relatives could bless themselves and bless themselves to realize their wishes.

After that, everyone started to fill a few shovels of soil for the grave. This is called rounding the grave, which is usually only carried out during the Qingming Festival. However, many people now go out to work and school, and they will definitely be able to come back to the Qingming Festival. Therefore, many people change to round the grave during the Spring Festival and repair the "house" for their relatives!

This tradition is held in various parts of China, and the customs are different in different places. However, it expresses a kind of remembrance and nostalgia for the deceased ancestors, and also gratitude! It can be seen that this is not just a superstitious activity, but an important measure for today's people to express their emotions, wishes, and will to their ancestors, inspire future generations to move forward, be cautious in the end, gather family affection, inherit excellent traditions and reveal morality, and carry forward national culture and spirit.

In ancient times, this tradition had been introduced to neighboring countries with Chinese culture. In neighboring countries such as South Korea, Japan, Singapore, and Thailand, there was a habit of worshiping ancestors during the Spring Festival. In South Korea, such rituals for worshiping ancestors are more solemn than in many mainland places.

A breeze blew, stirring up waves of Mars and ashes, rising into the air. It was flying and flying for a long time, as if dancing happily, celebrating the annual New Year!

"Oh! I haven't seen this scene for several years. They must have received all the paper money this year!" Wang Liang said excitedly, but it made Wang Gang, who had never passed through this scene, a little creepy. Especially the cold wind that hangs from time to time, like a gust of cold wind, which made him involuntarily chill.

"Okay, let's go, go back!" Wang Qiang saw that the paper money had been burned out and there would be no fire, so he spoke to his younger brothers, intending to end this year's Spring Festival ancestor worship activities.

"Boom, boom, boom..."

"Ba,ba,ba..."

The second kicks and whip exploded one after another, slowly becoming one. From time to time, a few fireworks that exploded in the sky bloomed and bloomed beautiful flowers, which were particularly beautiful in the dark night sky.

I was looking around the mountain and I saw piles of ignited fires from time to time. The villagers worshiped their ancestors and their deceased relatives, ignited paper money, and brought the grief and remembrance of their relatives as younger generations to their ancestors.

The star of the sky has hung on the sky, the top of the mountain in the east has become red, a new day is about to begin, a new year is getting closer, the pace of spring is getting closer, the cold winter is about to pass, and the new year has new hope and a new life.
