Shhh!I have a town!

At around 10 o'clock in the morning and nearly 11 o'clock in the morning, the ancestors of each branch gathered in the ancestral hall after worshiping. At the time when the ancestor worshipers came to fill out the family tree at the end of the year, there was only one or two representatives from each household, and Grandma Seven did not stand up to preside over the ceremony. After all, some of the descendants present kowtowed to him.

In terms of seniority, Grandma Seven, as the oldest generation in the village, is followed by gray-haired old men, leaning on crutches, kneeling tremblingly. Grandma Seven is too old to kneel so high. The posture was too difficult, so he could only move a chair and sit beside him, let his eldest son kneel down instead of him, and bowed ten heads respectfully to the ancestors.

The old man likes to watch this kind of scene full of children and grandchildren when he is old. The seventh grandma sat aside and looked at Grandpa Qin, Father Qin, Qin Le and others kowtowed in turn, and kept saying: "Okay, family Prosperous, the family is prosperous!"

This year's sacrificial ceremony added a special item. The village chief Qin held the big red pennant issued by the county with excitement on his face. Offer it on the altar, and put the incense in the censer in front of the former Lord.

Village Chief Qin has been the village chief for so many years, and he has never felt so honored for a moment as he is now!He earned glory for Qin Jiabao in his tenure, with a strong waist and full confidence.In order to show his face in this ancestor worship, Village Chief Qin spent a lot of thought and asked someone to write a sacrificial oration, which was in the form of an old saying, alas, everyone read it for a long time, and finally took out an identical sacrificial oration and burned it to the The ancestors even made an identical copy of the silk banner out of red paper, and burned it together. The good name is that the ancestors can also see the achievements left by their descendants. Even if they are buried in the ground, their descendants are also on it It's an honor for him, not to mention that this belongs to the glory that the whole village's children and grandchildren deserve, and the ancestors should be happy to follow suit.

There is another custom in Qinjiabao that is different from other places, and that is planting willows!On the day of offering sacrifices to ancestors during the Qingming Festival, no matter men, women, old or young, they all go to the small river to plant willows.It means that like a willow tree, it has a strong vitality, and future generations can live a long life.A family with a high survival rate of planting willows will be praised by the villagers, and it is a blessed family.Surviving willows will be properly resettled by the village head and transplanted elsewhere.

When Qin Le was a child, he just played here with his grandparents, as if he had completed some mission. He could just find a random one and plug it in, and he could play wildly with his friends. Boys weaved willow sticks as straw hats, and no matter whether there were bugs or not, they would go to their heads. On the buckle, I still feel very happy, especially like a soldier lurking behind the enemy.The girls folded wicker to weave large and small garlands, with a few flowers pinned on them, which is equivalent to a corolla.

In fact, it can be seen from here that the ancestors of Qinjiabao were people of great wisdom.As a farmer, land is everything, and to prevent soil erosion, planting trees is the best way!From the vegetation coverage rate of Qinjiabao, it can be seen that the green area is constantly increasing year by year.One of the largest willow trees has a history of 300 years, and it is still full of vitality until now.

No one in the village thought that it might be used as a scenic spot, but the children in the big city full of steel and concrete said that they had never seen such a thick tree, and they were particularly surprised.A 300-year-old tree has never been seen in the city.In Qinjiabao, although there is only one tree that is 300 years old, there are many tree species that are more than 100 years old.

During the activity of planting willows, Grandma Seven went to the willow tree that she had planted when she was young, touched the marks on it that he had made with a carving knife when he was young and ignorant, and burst into tears: "My child We are all so old, time is not forgiving."
