Front Page of Volume Three. “Tomb-sweeping” is a traditional Chinese ritual used to commemorate deceased loved ones or ancestors. This ceremony involves visiting the gravesite, making offerings to ancestors, such as food, wine, and other items, to show respect and remembrance for the departed. Tomb-sweeping ceremonies are typically held on specific days of worship, like the Qingming Festival or the Double Ninth Festival. People pay their respects at the gravesite, and sometimes sing elegiac songs or express their grief. This ancient tradition in Chinese culture has a long history and reflects the importance placed on honoring ancestors and family bonds.
