Last Qingming Festival,I return home to worship my grandfather.Qingming Festival is a folk Festival.In the past,In the past,the Qingming Festival was called "Arbor Day".But Today,Chinese visit their family graves to tend to any underbrush that has grown.Weeds are pulled,and dirt swept away,and the family will set out offerings of food and spirit money.Unlike the sacrifices at a family's home altar,the offerings at the tomb usually consist of dry,bland food.One theory is that since any number of ghosts rome around a grave area,the less appealing food will be consumed by the ancestors,and not be plundered by strangers.
　　With the passing of time,this celebration of life became a day to the honor past ancestors.Following folk religion,the Chinese believed that the spirits of deceased ancestors looked after the family.Sacrifices of food and spirit money could keep them happy,and the family would prosper through good harvests and more children.

Some people think that the tradition tomb-sweeping way is not environment-friendly,while others advocate new ways of tomb-sweeping.For the former,people burn up a lot of paper-made houses,cars or foods for their died family members,thus those actions contaminate our air and water.For the latter,as now there are more new ways for memorizing their family members,sea burial,wall burial,for example,has been more and more popular with people nowadays.As for me,i side with the latter without hesitation for the below several reasons.
First of all,tombs take up a lot of space.THe more people died,the more areas tombs will take up.As a result,there will be less spaces for human beings in the future.Secondly,new ways of burials is environment-friendly.Sea is so large that a little human ashes will not pollute the over-all environment of sea.So do other ways of new burials.Lastly,new ways of burials reduce superstitious beliefs.We can memorize a family member in our heart instead of burning up those so-called "paper money",as a matter of fact,he or she won't receive anything afterall.
