'Qing Ming' Festival is also known as "Tomb Sweeping Day" or "Ancestor's Day".
Go back hometown for the praying ceremony at the graves of our late grandparents and ancestors has become a routine duty annually in early April among many Chinese Family including myself.
It is such a meaningful event which symbolize our appreciation towards our ancestors as well as the bonding among generations.
4月5日前后十天， 都是墓山上人头躜动的热闹时期。
清明节, 算是继农历新年后另一个在我家族里非常受重视的一个节日。
回乡清明，被尽量安排成每年的惯例。
少不了一连串的张罗打点，
食物丰盛不在话下，
‘成千上万’的冥钱，‘价值连城‘的纸扎用品，
都代表心意的传送， 孝意的传递，
祈愿地下的先人和地上的后人都丰衣足食。
热闹喧嚷于墓园里， 可谓追思的另种方式；
笑谈畅聚于墓地上， 可谓团圆的另种方式。
嗯，
亲人建在的时候，真的要把握供养的机会；
亲人仙逝的时候， 也要不时地缅怀思念。
传承， 就是这么一回事。
啊，
我还挺想念祖父母的！
至于没见过面的祖先，
只能靠历史故事的分享来堆积想象。
没有昨天的他们，
哪来今天的我们？
生命的延续， 真的就是这么一回事。
Last week 'Balik Kampung' trip was kinda fruitful. After the Qing Ming Festival, we managed to spend some time to visit around and recalled some nostalgia around our old house and school. Food hunting had turned out to be quite a satisfactory outcome for our stomach as well. Let's the photos and captions perform the sharing. :-D
