Qing Ming Night Visit

[Inlinefour]

I was told by monk and temple medium that best time for tomb sweeping is serving "them" lunch 12 noon

 

Try to ask them why but since this is about filial piety so I didn't push anymore

It is just a tradition to pray our ancestors during qing ming. To be filial is to do what we could to make old folks feel good, comfortable, happy when they are around. Beyond their existance, the rest is going for our own consolations.

This is in the real rural area or 3rd or 4th tiles city.

Visited the tomb in Shanghai. Super model manage like our landed property.

A small tomb will caused a few hundreds thousand RMB.
