Tomb-sweeping day is coming. it is a traditional festival in China. This day is to memorize the dead. On this day, we carry food,fruit,flowers and papaer materials like paper cash,paper house and paper clothes, to the tombs of our dead relatives. Put the food,fruit in the tray,with the flowers on the stone in front of the tomb. While burning those paper materials, we will say some kind and warm words to the dead,tell him what happened this year,how changed this world. We think he is listening to us while we talk to him like he is with us. Becasue here people think the dead needs clothes,money and house in the paradise, how do we send? we made those things of papers,which are miniature,not the real size. By burning, those paper things become ashes,which will fly to the place the dead stay,people think. When the dead received paper cash,paper house and paper clothes from his relatives, he will bless them in return.
