Every Qingming Festival, netizens in Guangdong, Guangxi and Hainan collectively fall into confusion: "I remember this tree?" Where are you hiding? ”
Because the three provinces are located in South China, the terrain is mostly hills, terraces, and plants grow luxuriantly, in order to worship their ancestors, people carry roast pigs, carry sickles, and cut thorns in the jungle, which is also jokingly called "annual wilderness survival training" by netizens.
"Huanan F3" ancestor worship has a new move
No one will deliver the sacrifices
This year, the "South China F300" ancestor worship has a new move: the mechanical dog carries the roast pig up the mountain; The drone hangs the offerings and circles the mountains and forests. On social platforms, Mr. Wei, a guest from Guangxi, used a drone to worship his ancestors at the ancestral grave on the 0-meter mountain. He said that because the local mountains are high, it is more convenient for drones to deliver the offerings in a few minutes.
韋先生告訴記者，水果、燒豬、雞鴨魚肉、酒等貢品都能由無人機運至山上，“人就自己走上去，主要是幫人節省了力氣。”他說，一台無人機價格為六萬元，平時會用其施肥和噴灑農藥，清明時期也用無人機説明本村和附近的村民祭祖，每次收費幾十元到一百多元不等。
With the relocation of the village, the ancestral grave will also become difficult to find due to the migration of the family, and Mr. Wei has also encountered the situation of not being able to find the ancestral grave, and at this time he can only rely on the memories of the elders to find his way. He said that Qingming is a very important festival, and no matter where they are, members of the family will rush back to worship their ancestors, which is also a way to bring the family closer together.
Xiao Wen in Nanning, Guangxi, said that his family would bring chickens, ducks, pig's head meat, stir-fried vegetables and other items to worship their ancestors. "Because the tombs are generally far away, in most cases, we eat directly on the spot after sweeping the tombs, so we will also bring sickles, cutting boards, kitchen knives, and cutlery."
She added that some ancestors were buried far away. According to her recollections, when she was very young, she would go down the mountain with adults who rode bicycles or motorcycles, and then walked up the mountain, some of which were far away, and they would spend a day paying homage to their ancestors.
Positioning by trees and stones
Youth: When it comes to tourism
Locals have their own set of "grave search tips", such as locating by trees, rocks, and even trying to use hand-drawn maps to trace the geographical location of ancestral graves.
Huang, a student from Qinzhou, Guangxi, said that since she can remember, her family has climbed mountains every year to worship her ancestors, "We find a place by memorizing routes, and the older generation will write down the routes for the next generation. ”
A total of 6 people participated in this ancestor worship, went to 0 places, and spent a total of a day and a half. Huang said that because she had been studying abroad for many years, she got lost twice when she went home to worship her ancestors, and finally her family turned back and took her to find her way. "I'm very tired, but in the process, I heard a lot of deeds about ancestors I don't know, and I think these ancestors are also very powerful, and I go to worship my grandfather and grandfather every year, as if I met them once a year." She said.
Ms. Wei of Wuming, Guangxi, also has a unique way of worshipping her ancestors. Since the tomb of the grandmother is located in a cave on the top of the cliff, this year's ancestor worship requires the family members to carry a backpack with cement, bricks and water, bring a pot of home-brewed wine, and climb a cliff twenty or thirty meters high to renovate the tomb.
Online festivals have become a new way
Nowadays, there are new changes in the form of tomb sweeping, such as offering flowers, planting trees, etc., and online worship and sweeping have also become new ways to relieve the sorrow of wanderers who cannot go home to pay respects.
