When the ancients worshipped their ancestors, they often folded willows or inserted peach blossoms. Modern people worship their ancestors with vegetarian flowers or chrysanthemums. Tomb-Sweeping Day sent flowers to his ancestors to express his nostalgia for them.
Popular flowers are mostly white, such as Bai Baihe, calla lilies or yellow-white roses. Putting a purple forget-me-not on the graves of relatives not only expresses grief, but also caters to the trend of civilized sacrifice.
