QINGMING

haha...today i go QINGMING in the machang bubur there...


i wake up at 5.00a.m.,take a bath,eat my easy breakfast(nestum),then i go out with my family for QINGMING.

QINGMING is a chinese taditional festival (清明节).This festival is carry out so that our children or next generation can have their opportunity to remember and honour the ancestor at the grave sites.We have to clean the grave site before starting to pray the ancestor (but my uncle clean the grave most of the time yesterday... ).Then we will offer  food for our ancestor in front of the grave and we will stay at there until sun rise.After that ,our father will throw the coin to see whether our ancester have finish their "breakfast".When they finish their "breakfast",we will burn the paper money (paper have imprint of money) and paper replica of car, maid, home, phone,accessory and etc.So that they can spend all this things in their "world". In the end,we will went back home.

How to know whether they have finish their food or not with coin
  • when both coin showing the same face(they didn't finish their food)
  • when both coin showing the different face(they finish their food already)
Althought i felt tired (wake up too early) but i enjoy this festival...and all the youngs should also take part in this festival so that they will remember their ancestor and others...^^
