祭品前往祭祖,同時打掃和清理墓碑
On Ching Ming, the whole family will visit their ancestors or relatives' graves. We have to carry incense sticks, joss sticks and paper offerings like paper money and paper clothes and any other paper accessories, depends how serious your family is with this thing. All paper offerings will be burnt for they believe that the relatives can receive the goods and even 'money' this way.
