Chapter 586 Qingming Festival
/s日pt>"I..."
Conan Wang was a little confused. He hadn't done anything wrong recently.
"I'll tell you the truth. If you offend someone you shouldn't offend, you can only fire you for the sake of the company. The Finance Department will calculate your salary according to the law later."
Mr. Chen thought about it and told Wang Conan the reason for the matter, so that he understood that it was not the company who wanted to fire him, but he had offended someone he shouldn't have offended, and the company had to fire him.
"I, I haven't offended anyone I shouldn't offend."
Conan Wang thought about all the people and things recently, but did not realize that he had offended anyone he should not offend.
As for Ye Rongyao, Wang Conan couldn't even think about it. In Wang Conan's opinion, there was no ability for young people in a remote county in the south to influence Mr. Chen from the Central China Film and Television Group.
"Anyway, I'll tell you the reason. As for who you offended, you'll think about it slowly when you go back. In the future, you won't be allowed to do things outside under the title of Huazhong Film and Television Group, otherwise don't blame me for being rude."
Mr. Chen said. Mr. Chen was too lazy to know how this Wang Conan offended Zhang Wansan. Now he just wanted to draw a clear line with this Wang Conan as soon as possible.
"Mr. Chen, please give me another chance."
Conan Wang begged to look at Mr. Chen and said, Conan Wang really doesn't want to lose this very good job, and hopes that Mr. Chen will give him a chance.
"It's not that I don't want to give you a chance, but I don't dare to give you a chance. Our company can't afford to offend the one you offend. As long as this is the case, you can leave the company quickly."
Seeing that Conan Wang looked pitiful, Mr. Chen couldn't help but shake his head and said.
...
Time flies very quickly, and it is Qingming Festival in a blink of an eye. Every time it is Qingming Festival, a poem will appear in the minds of Chinese people: "It rains heavily during the Qingming Festival, and pedestrians on the road are about to break their souls." The general custom of Qingming Festival is to go to visit graves and worship the deceased relatives.
The origin of Qingming Festival comes from an idiom: cutting your thighs to satisfy your hunger.
According to legend, during the Spring and Autumn Period, the Prince of Jin, Chong'er, went into exile abroad to escape persecution. On his way to exile, he was in an uninhabited place. He was tired and hungry and could no longer stand up.
The minister searched for a long time but couldn't find anything to eat. Just when everyone was extremely anxious, the minister Jiezi pushed him to a secluded place, cut off a piece of meat from his thigh, and cooked a bowl of meat soup for the young master to drink.
Chong'er gradually recovered his energy. When Chong'er discovered that the flesh was cut off from his leg, he was so moved that he shed tears.
Nineteen years later, Chong'er became the king, that is, Duke Wen of Jin in history. After ascending the throne, Duke Wen highly rewarded the heroes who had accompanied him in exile, but he forgot Jie Zitui.
Many people spoke up for Jie Zitui and advised him to meet you for rewards. However, Jie Zitui despised those who were most interested in merit and rewards. He made some good clothes and quietly went to Mianshan with his old mother to live in seclusion.
After hearing this, Duke Wen of Jin was so ashamed that he personally took someone to invite Jie Zitui, but Jie Zitui had left home and went to Mianshan.
Mianshan Mountain has high mountains and dangerous roads and dense trees. It is not easy to find two people. Someone offered a suggestion and burned Mianshan from three sides. He forced Jie Zitui out. The fire burned Mianshan all over Mianshan, but Jie Zitui was not seen. After the fire was extinguished, people found that Jie Zitui, who was carrying his old mother, had died under an old willow tree.
Seeing this, Duke Wen of Jin cried bitterly. While preparing to be buried, he found a piece of clothes in the tree hole, which read: "Cut the flesh and serve you with all your loyalty, I hope your lord will always be clear and clear."
In order to commemorate Jie Zitui, Duke Wen of Jin ordered that this day be designated as the Cold Food Festival, which is the Qingming Festival.
Every year when Qingming Festival approaches, Ye Rongyao always has a faint and inexplicable sorrow in his heart. It is not very strong, but it cannot be lingered. It just lingers in his heart and entangles it.
The weather has been rainy these days. Today is Qingming Festival. There is a drizzle falling from the sky, and it feels a little cool and wet when it hits the body. It seems that with this rain, Qingming can make it look even more sad.
Legend has it that the underworld will hold a conference during the Qingming Festival, and those without descendants cannot attend. Those who attend the conference must hold the flags given by their descendants before they can enter.
Therefore, when visiting graves on Qingming Festival, people put paper-cut flags on the graves of their deceased ancestors. Therefore, the time for visiting graves on Qingming Festival should be before Qingming Festival, not after Qingming Festival.
There is another saying to visit the grave the day before the Qingming Festival. Some people call it the Cold Food Festival on this day, so it is best not to visit the grave on this day.
Visiting to the tomb on Qingming Festival is a good form of commemorating ancestors to express filial piety. Usually, I rarely go to the tombs of my ancestors, use Qingming Festival to check them out, add some soil to the tombs, and make up for the areas where there are loopholes or collapses. It is indeed a good thing.
However, when visiting the grave during the Qingming Festival, you should not move around and throw away those stones that look untidy and change them to beautiful and neat stones.
The general principle is not to move randomly, only add or not reduce, that is, do not move the ancestral grave easily, and only increase the soil and stones and do not reduce them. You can add another layer outside the stones that are not good-looking and untidy to wrap them.
Another point is that it is not a good thing to build the ancestral tomb to be magnificent, and many prosperous families have fallen into decline.
In recent years, many senior officials have repaired their ancestral tombs and ended up in prison.
When visiting graves in Qingming Festival, people usually choose to visit the graves before the afternoon, because at that time it was still the six yang period, the yang energy was relatively sufficient and it was not easy to be harassed by some negative things in the area.
People who visit graves should not dress too brightly. Some girls wear big red and purple clothes to visit graves, or wear too exposed.
One may be to anger your ancestors, and the other is to arouse other ancestors’ interest in you. Every year on Qingming Festival, there are some girls who wear red windbreakers to worship the mountain during Qingming Festival, and eventually suffer from many discomfort symptoms.
When visiting the grave on the Qingming Festival, try not to walk around the grave or strolling around. Especially when crossing around on other people’s graves, it will make people lose their bad luck.
To put it bluntly, it means not to stay in other people's graves, especially in the graves of young and middle-aged people who died young and old, sighing! It is a pity that their premature death is, but because they died too early, they are more or less resentful.
In the death of young people, a considerable number of them have direct or indirect relationships with their feelings. If you stay in front of their graves and sigh, the feelings, resentment, even envy, jealousy and hatred they have towards you, and even knock on your door in the middle of the night, are all caused by you.
The most important thing is to spit and urinate and defecate. If you accidentally spit in front of someone else's grave, it is the same as the person who speaks without intention or the listener is interested. Maybe you are just a habit, but the other party may think that you are provoking and following you, which is a big problem.
Needless to say, you must see the place clearly and never go to places with deep yin. The entrance to many so-called phenomena of being on the body of ghosts is our yin orifice. During the Qingming Festival, it is simply a way to seek death if you dare to expose your chrysanthemums. No ghosts follow you, and there are mountain spirits and wild monsters follow you.
...
Early in the morning, Ye Rongyao began to prepare things. He wanted to bring hoes and sickles. Tomb sweeping in Qingming Festival means cleaning up the weeds on the cemetery and adding some new soil to the graves of his ancestors.
There are also things that I went to the town yesterday to buy essential items for the Qingming Festival tomb sweeping, mainly incense, candles, paper money, and "broken bags".
Incense and candles are the most important items for visiting tombs in Qingming Festival. Not only should the incense and candles be lit in front of the graves of ancestors, but incense should also be presented to the land of the mountain gods who are in charge of the cemetery, and pray to the land of the mountain gods to protect the cemetery and bless the souls of the ancestors.
Paper money should be burned to the deceased so that they can spend money in the underworld, and they must be burned clean, otherwise the ancestors would not receive the money given by their descendants in the underworld.
"Baobao" is a food, clothing and supplies brought to ancestors, including "earths", "cloths", "furniture" and so on, etc. made of paper.
"Burning bags" is an important form of commemorating the deceased. Burning "brush" means giving these items to ancestors.
In the past, when I visited the grave on the Qingming Festival, I brought some offerings such as fruits, snacks, wine, etc., but now basically no one brings these things.
In the eyes of people today, when people have a high standard of living, they can easily buy anything with money. The underworld should be the same as the human world, so there is no need to place these offerings. Just burn more paper money for the ancestors, and they bought it with their own money.
After sorting out all the things needed to visit the graves, Ye Rongyao stood beside him and wanted to follow him to go up the mountain to sweep Liu Qingqing, "Qingqing, you don't go to the grave today."
"It's okay, I can walk."
Liu Qingqing said. Liu Qingqing thought that her man was worried that she would be pregnant and could not walk the mountain road.
Liu Qingqing felt that there was no problem with her. She gritted her teeth and could go up the mountain. Today is the day to worship her ancestors in Qingming Festival. As the daughter-in-law of the Ye family, Liu Qingqing felt that she should visit her parents-in-law’s grave and tell them the joy of being pregnant with her child.
"It's not the problem. If you have a husband here, it's okay for you to carry you up the mountain. The key is that today is Qingming Festival. There are many people going to the graves to worship ancestors. The mountain is not clean, so pregnant women should not go to the grave to visit the graves."
Ye Rongyao said. Rural people believe that on Qingming Festival, there are many people going up the mountain to sacrifice the lord, and there are also many things like sacrifices and paper money. The lonely ghosts in the mountains will come out from their hiding places to grab the sacrifices.
The yin energy in the whole mountain is very heavy. Although the child in the pregnant woman's belly has not been born yet, she has a congenital eye and can see lonely ghosts wandering on the mountain, which will scare the child in the pregnant woman's belly and easily cause miscarriage.
Although this is a bit superstitious, people still attach great importance to this taboo in rural areas. After all, in the past few years, there have been many young couples who do not believe in this kind of thing in the neighborhood, taking their pregnant women to the mountain to sweep the graves on Qingming Festival.
So now even if a young pregnant woman wants to go up the mountain to visit the grave, the elderly at home will not agree.
"What's not clean?"
Liu Qingqing didn't understand what her man meant.
