What's the difference between China people sweeping graves and Americans?

In America, you often see cemeteries, right next to people's houses or behind churches. Some even have thousands of them connected together, while others have only a few. When you are driving, they often flash in front of you, and you will find it strange: American cemeteries are everywhere. Why are American cemeteries so close to the lives of the living?

In China culture, the first thing people think of is bad luck. Choose a house, no one wants to live next to it.

But in America, it's different. Some Americans like to live near a cemetery. Even in the city, you can see the cemetery with the house, or just behind the church.

American cemeteries are also racial, and different nationalities have their own habits. In the early years, many immigrants from China hoped to return to their roots and bury themselves in the land of their motherland. Now, after several generations of immigration, there are no relatives in my hometown, so in the United States, my hometown will buy a cemetery to get everyone together, and there is also a Chinatown in heaven.

If the whole family goes to the grave, Americans do not have the custom of burning sacrifices. Many times, they will only present a bunch of flowers to commemorate. If it is a martyr who died for the country, a public official who died in the line of duty, etc. The national flag will also be presented.

When Americans sweep graves, sometimes it seems to be an outing. Even some families will bring food and drinks and have picnics and play around the cemetery. It's really like a family outing. But in the cemetery, we should remain solemn and don't make noise and frolic.
