扫墓 (sǎo mù): เพื่อกวาดหลุมฝังศพ (และแสดงความเคารพต่อผู้ตาย)

On Qingming Festival, our whole family went up the mountain together to sweep Grandpa's grave.

Every year when we sweep the grave, my father wipes the tombstone spotless and then lays out fresh flowers and fruit.

Because I work abroad, I haven't been back to sweep Grandma's grave for three years, and I feel quite guilty about it.

According to the custom of my hometown, after sweeping the grave, we burn paper money in front of it to express our remembrance of the deceased relatives.

Tomorrow morning I have to get up early to sweep my maternal grandfather's grave, so I need to go to bed early tonight.
