journal question #3
there is a holiday called Tomb-sweeping Day that concerns the dead in china. in that day, we will do several things to grieve over somebody's death. we will pay respects to somebody at his tomb. we will burn some fake money for him and blass him. we also play on the swings especially children. it means hold the rope while moving. we will get spring outing around that day because it is spring. everything of nature can be seen everywhere vibrant scene. before and after Tomb-sweeping Day, we will plant trees because arbor day is very close to it. another thing we can do is to fly a kite. sometimes when people is flying a kite, they will shear the wire that on the kite. let the wind send them to the ends of the earth. it is said that far away from disease and disaster, bring themselves luck. that is all we will do in that day.

That's really interesting. I've heard of this day before but I had never heard about any of these customs. thanks for letting me know about them!
