After the ancestral hall ceremony ended, each clansman must the washing the face net hand. The chancellors let the men some fruits, food and drinks, meats, tobacco and liquor tea and other goods, the complete paper money and paper product take the carriage, to prepare visiting a grave. 宗祠祭祀仪式完了后,每个族人又要洗脸净手。主事们让男人们将部分水果、吃喝、肉类、烟酒茶等物品,全部纸钱、纸品带上马车,以备上坟之用。 „Glorious elder brother, the sacrificial offering, I listened a moment ago stupidly, this sacrifice word writes was good, had the talent.” Goes out of the front door of ancestral hall, Ma Lin said. “荣耀哥,刚才祭祀,我听傻了,这祭词写的太好了,太有才了。”走出宗祠的大门,马琳说道。 „This is from the heart words, said again, these old people, you do not look that they have not attended what university, is the essence these old people of Chinese culture compared with our these young people, fierce of these university student and postgraduate candidate.” leaf Rongyao said. “这是发自内心的话,再说了,这些老人,你别看他们没有读过什么大学,可是华夏文化的精髓这些老人都比我们这些年轻人,那些大学生、博士生的厉害。”叶荣耀说道。 Actually real reason, in the final analysis in education, people of the older generation, was before the 1960s-1970s, in the Huaxia home, is Huaxia country own culture that everyone attached great importance, any external culture, received very serious preemption. 其实真正的原因,归根结底还是在教育上,老一辈人,也就是上世纪六、七十年代以前,在华夏国内,大家最重视的就是华夏国自己的文化,什么外来文化,都受到很严重的排挤。 Although said that this preemption is incorrect, but makes the Chinese culture essence generations of places inherit, the beforehand student is fastidious about four arts, basically a little cultural worker of culture, can these. 虽然说这种排挤是不对的,但却让华夏文化的精髓一代代地传承下去,以前的书生讲究琴棋书画,基本上有一点文化的文化人,都会这些。 But now is not good, more than ten years ago, the country puts the foreign language education compared with the national language education also heavy degree, if the foreign language does not pass an examination, even the undergraduate degree cannot attain, vigorously propaganda overseas culture. 可现在就不行了,随着十几年前,国家把外语教育放到比国语教育还重的程度,如果外语不及格,连本科学位都拿不到,大力宣传国外的文化。 Huaxia's culture quickly by the Western culture squeezing out existing space, the beforehand old person can write a character written with a writing brush, can write a good article. 以至于华夏本身的文化都快被西方文化给挤出了生存空间,以前的老人可以写一手毛笔字,可以写出一篇好文章。 The present young people are not good, let alone will write the character written with a writing brush few, is crooked that the fountain pen character writes, writes an article, sometimes the language does not build the sentence. 现在的年轻人就不行了,别说会写毛笔字的没有几个,就是钢笔字都写的歪歪扭扭,写文章,有时候语不搭句。 These are not most important, the most important thing is these traditional customs and cultures of Huaxia, lose in young people generation slowly, the traditional festival of Huaxia, young people few of Huaxia remember clearly, the holiday of West, everyone remembers very clearly. 这些都不是最重要的,最重要的是华夏的这些传统习俗和文化,在年轻人这一代慢慢地遗失,华夏的传统节日,华夏的年轻人没有几个记得清楚,西方的节日,大家都记得很清楚。 The good these years country realized the gravity of issue, increased several Huaxia traditional festivals' vacations. Let the young people not forget in some Huaxia also these traditional festivals, and traditional senses of these holidays. 还好这几年国家意识到了问题的严重性,增加了几个华夏传统节日的假期。让年轻人不会忘记在华夏还有这么些传统节日,以及这些节日的传统意义。 „This actually real, the beforehand old person is truly fierce in knowledge.” willow Qingqing approves of the words of man very much. “这倒是真的,以前的老人在学识方面确实很厉害。”柳箐箐很赞同自己男人的话。 „Does glorious elder brother, where we go to now?” Ma Lin asked. “荣耀哥,我们现在去哪里啊？”马琳问道。 „Now we sweep the graves.” leaf Rongyao said. “现在我们去扫墓。”叶荣耀说道。 ...... …… After several people board, crossed minute, the car(riage) that the front car(riage) leads started to go, what followed close on after that was a salute car(riage). Each travel certain distance, this salute car(riage) will put the salute. Told peripheral people, the Ye family in the ancestor worship. 等几个人上了车后,过了分钟,前面的车领头的车开始行驶了,紧跟其后的是一辆礼炮车。每行驶一定的距离,这礼炮车就会放礼炮。告诉周边的人们,叶氏家族在祭祖了。 Besides inviting the salute car(riage), the ancestral hall also invited an orchestra, in the middle of motorcade, inside sits several singers, is singing the song unceasingly, the made entire sacrificial offering is extremely busy. 除了请来礼炮车,宗祠还请了一个乐队,就在车队的中间,里面坐着几位歌手,在不断地唱着歌曲,弄的整个祭祀热闹非凡。 The leaf glory does not know when such orchestra starts to emerge in min state area, these years weddings and funerals, many people invited this orchestra in any case. Is playing the music, is singing the song, please an orchestra, a huge outline three, are about thousand dollars. 叶荣耀也不知道这样的乐队是什么时候开始在玟州这一带兴起的,反正这几年的红白喜事,都有很多人请这种乐队。放着音乐,唱着歌曲,请一个的乐队,一天大概要三、是千块钱左右。 „Does husband, what to the ancestral grave sweep the graves to pay attention to?” willow Qingqing looks that the leaf glory asked. “老公,到祖坟扫墓要注意什么啊？”柳箐箐看着叶荣耀问道。 „Actually several taboos.” leaf Rongyao thinks to say. “倒是有几点忌讳。”叶荣耀想了想说道。 „Which has to abstain?” willow Qingqing asked. “都有哪些忌讳啊？”柳箐箐问道。 „First, do not go to the too remote place, is easy to annoy the evil aura. This is because the mountain top tomb are quite many, the gloom is heavy.” “第一,不要去太偏僻的地方,容易惹邪气。这是因为山头坟墓比较多,阴气重。” „Second is, the tomb in the journey, must have the faculty of reverence, cannot touch the tombstone with the foot, must be many some serious grave attitudes to be best. Do not pat the tomb with the cell phone, this is abstained very much, other actually no.” “第二是,在路途中遇到的坟墓,要有恭敬之心,不能用脚去碰墓碑,要多些严肃庄重的态度最好。千万不要拿手机拍坟墓,这是很忌讳的,其它的倒是没有什么了。” leaf Rongyao said. These are the following father sweeps the graves together, the elder in village said that the leaf glory has recorded. 叶荣耀说道。这些是一起跟着父亲去扫墓的时候,村里的长辈说的,叶荣耀就一直记着。 The motorcade more than 200 car(riage) platoons become a long line to go in the Meiyuan Town direction enormously and powerful, creates a big traffic jam all the way. 车队两百多辆车排成一条长龙浩浩荡荡地往梅园镇方向而去,一路上造成不小的交通堵塞。 However this, the traffic police do not have the means. In January the motorcade of ancestor worship are many, is enormous and powerful, so long as others do not have the illegal transportation principle, the traffic police cannot block. 不过这样,交警也没有办法。正月里祭祖的车队很多,都是浩浩荡荡的,人家只要没有违法交通法则,交警也不能拦着。 Naturally does not dare to block, blocks with no reason at is not making one go to the ancestor worship, a big ancestral hall, several thousand over ten thousand people, are very easy to cause the community event, the government also fears. 当然也不敢拦着,无缘无故拦着不让人去祭祖,一个大宗祠,几千上万人的,很容易造成群体事件,政府也怕啊。 The motorcade opened for about an hour, finally arrived at Meiyuan Town a place named Wang Village enormously and powerful, the ancestral grave in Ye Ancestral hall here. 车队开了一个小时左右,终于浩浩荡荡地开到了梅园镇一个叫王家村的地方,叶氏宗祠的祖坟在这里。 This Wang Village, several hundred years ago, truly is worthy of the reputation Wang Village, a person in village is surnamed Wang, after that first ancestor who since Ye Ancestral hall consecrates the ancestral grave decides here, several hundred years later, this village has half of people, is surnamed Ye. 这个王家村,在几百年前,确实是名副其实的王家村,一个村子的人都姓王,不过自从叶氏宗祠供奉的那位始祖把祖坟定到这里后,几百年下来,这个村子有一半的人,是姓叶的了。 In ancient times, people take seriously the geomancy very much, particularly the geomancy of ancestral grave, because in the ancient opinion, the geomancy of ancestral grave is good, can shelter the generation after generation prosperous development. 在古代,人们很重视风水,尤其是祖坟的风水,因为在古人看来,祖坟的风水好,才能庇护子子孙孙兴旺发达。 leaf Rongyao listened to the village the old person saying that Ye Ancestral hall first ancestor, after resigning from office resigned on account of age and returned to one's home place, specially asks the geomancy master to him to seek the tomb, was good hundred years later, can bury into this valuable land with good feng shui, to bless posterity prosperous development. 叶荣耀听村里老人说,叶氏宗祠这位始祖,辞官告老还乡后,专门请风水师傅给他寻墓穴,好在百年之后,可以葬入这风水宝地,以保佑子孙后代兴旺发达。 After five years of seeking holes, the Feng Shui master looked for two valuable lands with a good geomantic omen to the Ye first ancestor, together is here Wang Village, in the little dan role village of crane Xi Town. 经过五年的寻穴,风水大师给叶氏始祖找了两块风水宝地,一块就是这里的王家村,还有一个是在鹤西镇的小旦村。 Two places, the first ancestors are very satisfied, is not cruel enough to give up any place, therefore the first ancestor made a difficult decision, buys both mountainous regions, first ancestor and his wife hundred years later, separates the burial, blesses the generation after generation prosperous development by the destiny of two places. 两块地,始祖都很满意,不忍心放弃任何一块地,于是始祖做了个艰难的决定,就是把两座山地都买下来,始祖和他的夫人百年后,分开安葬,以两块地的气运保佑子子孙孙兴旺发达。 After buying the place, the first ancestor lets in his seven sons selects two sons, makes him move to Wang Village own family/home, moves to the little dan role village, making them bloom a loose leaf there, the goal is to protect the ancestral grave, these two branch veins are called „mountain lord”. 买下地后,始祖让他七个儿子中的选出两个儿子,一个让他把自己的家搬到王家村,一个搬到小旦村,让他们在那里开枝散叶,目的就是守护祖坟,这两个支脉被称为“山主”。 With the change of time, the Ye family population is getting more and more exuberant, was divided into many small branch veins by the present, the population are getting more and more. 随着时间的变迁,叶氏家族人口愈来愈旺盛,到现在又分成了很多个小支脉,人口越来越多。 However people will not forget the ancestor, will not forget own origin, every year metropolis/can sweeping the graves ancestor worship, prayer ancestor's soul in heaven. 不过人们都不会忘记祖宗,不会忘记自己的起源,每年都会扫墓祭祖,祷告祖先的在天之灵。 After stopping the car(riage), leaf glory several people from the vehicle, with the crowd, walk toward the front mountain top, this mountain top is not high, is not big, besides in the hill shape, looks like the head that a hovering scarlet dragon lifts high, the relationship of form and spirit has both, holds up the head to east, although is not the place of true dragon hole, is the geomancy extremely good place. 停好车后,叶荣耀几人从车上下来,随着人群,往前面的山头走去,这个山头不高,也不大,可是其外在的山形,就像是一条游动的赤龙所高高抬起的头,形神兼备,昂首向东,虽然不是真正的龙穴之地,也是风水极佳之处。 Before, entire mountain top only then the ancestral grave in Ye Ancestral hall, but with the change of time, several hundred years ago some title deed people will not recognize again, therefore the entire mountain top, can see many graves indistinctly, these are the graves of other surnames. 在以前,整个山头就只有叶氏宗祠的祖坟,不过随着时代的变更,几百年前的地契是不会再有人认的,所以整个山头,可以隐隐约约看到很多坟墓,这些都是其它姓氏的坟墓。 Who lets this place is the valuable land with good feng shui, many people have a liking for this place, the present government does not allow to construct the words of this private grave, the tomb on this mountain will be more. 谁让这个地方是风水宝地呢,很多人都看上这个地方,要不是现在的政府不允许建这种私墓的话,这山上的坟墓会更多。 Leaf glory several people of following crowds climb mountains, the graves of first ancestors and several too clans in Ye Ancestral hall in the halfway up the mountainside, that position are the entire hill geomancy best positions. 叶荣耀几人跟着人群上山,叶氏宗祠的始祖和几位太族的坟墓在半山腰,那个位置是整座小山的风水最好的位置。
