advance. It included 4 servings of金紙, a serving of 瑪老and粿, a few joss sticks, colorful joss paper., and floral tribute(祭品) for my father-in-law particularly

Two days before the day, we drove to the cemetery(墓園). It was easy to find the tomb of my father-in-law because we had visited here for 5 successive years.  We presented the fresh lily in front of the tomb and burned the joss paper and incense to pay tribute to him. For a while, we continued to visit other graves.

In Chinese culture, for tomb sweeping festival, people must prepare 七餅菜，the process were so complicated that i could really memorize it well. This cuisine needs 7 ingredients and has to slices each ingredient into pieces, then fried them together. Finally we used a thin wrapper which was made of dough to wrap it and roll it into a cylinder. It tasted definitely delicious 

On lunar April five, we had important worship for our ancestor at home. My mother-in-law had prepared whole sacrifices and joss-relative affairs.（it needed 7 chopsticks and bowls and 3 chairs in front of the joss table). Due to her unattended, she asked for me to host the worship.That what we would do on the busy tomb sweeping festival
