Respect for tradition

Our ancient sage Confucius said that respect for the dead and to our ancestors helps cultivate our morals.

As Tomb Sweeping Day or Pure Brightness Festival is just one day away, what comes to mind is the way we pay our respects to the dead and what we achieve from this.

Apart from the rush of rural and urban residents to cemeteries on this particular day, quite a number of local governments also organize public ceremonies to pay homage to our Chinese legendary ancestors.
