Tomb sweeping is actually a very traditional Taiwanese culture

for all the families and extended families

The doctor had given him a prescription to get deer milk

Ohh so she could drink it to heal the illness

Yes but how is he going to collect deer milk?

He wore this so he could blend in and collect deer milk

The hunter almost accidentally shot him mistakenly thinking him for a deer

Then the man quickly stood up and the hunter realized he was a person

The hunter was curious and inquired why he did such a thing

And this is one of the "24 Filial Piety Stories" in Confucian philosophy

that are nailed down on the tomb with a rock

we use these papers to decorate our tombs

The speciality food we eat on Tomb Sweeping Day

from sweet which would be represented as red

The origin of why we crack a hard boiled egg

is that when you burn all these ghost money

the ashes and the smoke would go up in the air

These Gods were crossing this ocean to get to a party

They each wanted to show off their powers

to see who was more capable of crossing this vast ocean

So they each came up with the coolest thing

There was also a God who crossed the ocean via Chinese flute playing
