This is an old tradition of visiting temples to pray for the spirits of one's ancestors on the day of Qingming (Pure Brightness), the fifteenth day after the spring equinox. Lingyin Temple in Hangzhou becomes lively from late March until the Qingming Festival (which usually falls around April 4) as elderly women from rural villages visit the temple and take the opportunity to sightsee in Hangzhou. They light red candles, burn a sheet of paper, put their hands together, and recite several prayers. Then they go home, taking with them the ashes of the burnt paper. Such pious women from the countryside evidently must have seemed strange to some: I saw some young people laughing out loud at this scene.”⁠ ⁠ – Hiroji Kubota ⁠ .⁠ Works of Imagination, the October Magnum Square Print Sale in partnership with @aperturefnd is live on the Magnum Shop until this Sunday.⁠ .⁠ This is a unique opportunity to purchase signed or estate-stamped museum-quality prints by over 100 of the world’s leading photographic artists in an exclusive 6x6” format for $100.⁠ .⁠ Visit the link in bio to shop all the images available.⁠ .⁠ PHOTO: Ancestor Worship.
