Chapter 305 Grave Sweeping! 【1】

1979 1 Month 9 Day.

Yang Ming was woken up early in the morning by his cousin Yang Shuhai.

Officially went to visit the grave today.

After Yang Ming got up, he had a simple breakfast, Yang Jirong, his wife and others went to the cemetery of No.18's great-grandfather and began to sweep the grave.

The cemetery of my grandfather is on another high mountain, which is also nearly a hundred meters high.

In addition to Yang Ming, Yang Jirong and his wife, the villagers of Sanjiaotang, and other relatives of the Yang family related to the Yang family have participated in the event. More than a thousand people participated.

It can be seen that it is still very lively.

When Yang Ming came, he was no longer in a wheelchair. He knew that under such circumstances, it was impossible to get on a wheelchair.

However, Yang Shuhai and the others were even more surprised that Yang Ming was not in a wheelchair.

When they first met Yang Ming, he was already a rich man at a young age, but it was a pity to be in a wheelchair.

Now I found that Yang Ming could walk normally like them.

In fact, now Yang Ming can only walk for more than an hour at most, and he is about to stop to rest. If he walks up the mountain, he needs the help of other people.

Ah Zhu and Zhong Chuhong could have followed along, but knowing that going up the mountain was not easy, they didn't follow.

Chen Bo and Song Shaoguang, they have already been there once these days, but now they still follow.

In this mighty crowd of thousands of people.

Yang Ming and the others had already arrived at the foot of the mountain and started to go up the mountain.

A few days ago, the villagers had cut down all the weeds on the path, which was equivalent to opening a new path. Under such circumstances, Yang Ming found that climbing the mountain was not so difficult.

It took almost over an hour.

Finally came to Yang Jirong's grandfather's cemetery here.

This is a tomb with an area of ​​more than a thousand square meters. It is a white tomb, and there should be grave sweeping every few years.

In other words, even if Yang Jirong never came back, the cemetery of the first grandfather is also a very important ancestor for other Yang family members.

Except that today's protagonists are Yang Ming, Yang Jirong and his wife, these three people came here specially.

There are also villagers from Sanjiaotang, and Yang's clan relatives from other places.

In addition, there is also the person in charge of today's tomb-sweeping ceremony.

It was still the respected old man of the Yang family.

The old man of the Yang family seems to take this matter very seriously.

In addition to preparing a sacrificial oration in advance, he has been guiding Yang Shuhai and others on what to do.

Yang Ming stood among the crowd.

This is the first time he has seen such a large-scale grave-sweeping ceremony of the clan.

In his previous life, Yang Ming really didn't realize it.

Even on the Xiangjiang side, apart from those unknown tombs in the northern New Territories, there are more cemeteries and small tombstones.

In other words, after those people left this world, they were sent to the cemetery, which is not like what it is now.

Historically, many places like these tombs were destroyed to some extent.

If it is in a place where the clan is strong, these are often very well protected, because these people really dare to do anything to protect the tombs of their ancestors.

Yang Ming saw that the cemetery was well protected in all aspects!

Except for the conspicuous white grave, the surrounding area is protected by stones, bricks, etc., except that the surrounding area is grass, and there were a lot of weeds growing before. After being cut down in advance a few days ago, the area is already very clean.

Yang Ming and thousands of people were watching here.

At this time, at the cemetery of Yang Jirong's first grandfather, there was nothing but offerings for worship.

Pigs, chickens, tea and other worship supplies.

Firecrackers started to be set off around, and sky thunders were set off, which will continue forever.

After the presiding old man of the Yang family burned incense first, Yang Jirong, Yang Ming, and Li Yufang were asked to burn incense and pay homage to the ancestors here.

The old man of the Yang family announced that the tomb-sweeping officially started today.

This is another very complicated tomb-sweeping ceremony.

Chen Bo and Song Shaoguang watched it with great interest.

This kind of tomb-sweeping worship ceremony may no longer exist in many places, but it seems that it is still very well preserved here, and it is an important part of Hakka traditional culture.

When the old man of the Yang family who presided over the ceremony asked the Yang family members to kneel down to worship their ancestors, Yang Ming and Yang Jirong knelt there, and the old man of the Yang family took out the written sacrificial oration in advance.

In fact, it is a sacrificial oration written in ancient characters, but it is just as if the old man sang it in Hakka dialect.

Probably means.

Back then, Yang Jirong, a descendant of the Yang family, left his hometown to go to Xiangjiang to develop. Now he brings his wife Li and son Yang Ming back to pay homage to his grandfather.

This sacrificial text also mentioned in detail the situation of Yang Jirong and Yang Ming in Xiangjiang, especially Yang Ming's achievements in Xiangjiang. In fact, it was read to the grandfather below and the people present.

This is also a hymn.

In addition to commemorating the ancestors, let me tell you about the current situation of Yang Jirong's family. I hope that the grandfather will continue to bless Yang Jirong's family to achieve better results, and also bless other Yang family members to have a better life and good health.

After the elder Yang spent more than two hours singing.

He put the sacrificial rite into the censer and burned it together with the incense paper money, and the sacrificial rite process was over.

Next, we will continue to burn incense and bow three times to the ancestors in the cemetery.

After all these are done.

Sweeping the grave of the originator's cemetery is the end.

It took four hours before and after, and Yang Ming began to feel tired, and the other Yang clan members seemed to be fine.

"Peter, how do you feel?" Li Yufang asked.

Yang Ming was already sitting lazily on the grass like other young people, with some grass on his clothes.

Others couldn't believe it, the whole Yang family regarded Mr. Yang as the most holy and awe-inspiring person, and they would sit on the ground like them?
When the worship of the original grandfather ends here, the next is the distant grandfather and the great grandfather.

Among them, the process is almost the same.

When the worship of the three ancestors was over, it was getting dark in the cemetery.

For the rest, we can only wait until tomorrow.

In many cases, grave sweeping like those ordinary families can't be completed in a day, it may take a few days or even a week.

Now sweeping the tombs of the three ancestors in one day has cut down a lot of complicated etiquette.

If it was before, I'm afraid it might be more troublesome.

Yang Ming knew that although he was a little tired, it was still very meaningful.

When Yang Ming returned to the Wailong House.

More people cook here in Weilongwu.

So many people participated in the sweeping of the tomb today, so naturally they gathered here to have a big meal after the sweeping of the tomb.

Thousands of people, more than 100 sets, no matter men, women, old or young, all eat at the table together.

Since Yang Ming just came back, he was very upset when he learned that the women and children in the village could not serve the table. Yang Shuhai has made changes, and now all of them can serve the table.

"Mr. Yang, your family is so lively."

Mr. Shen and Secretary Zhang did not go to visit the grave, but they found that there are really many people inside and outside the Dragon House.

"Mr. Shen, Secretary Zhang, today is indeed a rare and lively event."
