... Read moreเทศกาลเช็งเม้งถือเป็นหนึ่งในเทศกาลที่มีความหมายลึกซึ้งสำหรับชาวไทยเชื้อสายจีน เนื่องจากนอกจากจะเป็นโอกาสในการรวมตัวของคนในครอบครัวแล้ว ยังเป็นช่วงเวลาที่เราได้แสดงความกตัญญูต่อบรรพบุรุษที่ล่วงลับไป การทำความสะอาดฮวงซุ้ยหรือสุสานเป็นกิจกรรมที่สำคัญมาก เพราะถือเป็นการเตรียมสถานที่ให้น่ามองสะอาด จะเห็นได้ว่าการปัดกวาดและทาสีป้ายชื่อบนหินสุสานถือเป็นสัญลักษณ์ของความเคารพและการดูแลรักษารากเหง้าของครอบครัว สำหรับผมเอง ในช่วงเทศกาลเช็งเม้งทุกปี จะช่วยครอบครัวทำความสะอาดฮวงซุ้ยและร่วมกันจัดเตรียมของไหว้ ทั้งอาหารจานโปรดของบรรพบุรุษ ผลไม้ที่ไม่มีหนาม เช่น ส้มและกล้วย รวมไปถึงดอกไม้สดที่สื่อถึงความสดชื่นและความสงบเงียบ นอกจากนี้ การเผากระดาษเงินกระดาษทองยังเป็นสัญญะของการส่งสิ่งดีๆ ไปถึงบรรพบุรุษเพื่อให้ได้รับความสะดวกสบายในอีกโลกหนึ่ง ผมชอบที่เช็งเม้งไม่ได้เป็นเพียงการทำพิธีกรรม แต่ยังเป็นโอกาสให้เราได้รำลึกถึงประวัติศาสตร์และเชื่อมต่อกับต้นตระกูล ทำให้รู้สึกถึงการมีส่วนร่วมในสายใยรักของครอบครัว และยังช่วยเสริมสร้างจิตใจให้มีความสงบและพร้อมรับพลังหยางในช่วงเวลาที่อากาศแจ่มใสในต้นเมษายน ถ้าใครมีโอกาสได้เข้าร่วมเทศกาลนี้ อยากแนะนำให้ลองสัมผัสความรู้สึกนี้ดูสักครั้ง จะได้เข้าใจว่าทำไมเช็งเม้งจึงเป็นประเพณีที่อยู่คู่คนจีนและไทยเชื้อสายจีนมาหลายชั่วอายุคนแล้ว

Two boxes of cold and flu medicine, one a store brand and the other a national brand, are shown side-by-side. Text overlays promote a life hack to never buy name-brand medicine, suggesting both products contain the same active ingredients.

Let’s talk about it!💸💊💗—why pay extra just for a name on the box? Store-brand meds got the same exact ingredients, same strength, and they’re made to the same standards as the pricey brands. You’re getting the same relief but keeping more cash in your pocket! 💰 Most name-brand meds have a store-bra
