The story about the Five Coloured Paper used in Qing Ming:
In ancient China, there was once an Emperor who took over the throne.
After he took over the throne, he visited the location where his father was buried.
Legend was that he looked everywhere but could not find the tomb. He nearly gave up until, one of his loyal aids; asked him to throw the `five coloured paper' (which can also be written on).
He threw the `five coloured paper' and one of them was lodged in the grass field. True enough, it was his father's tomb.
Hence, it was said that from that day onwards, Chinese besides giving offering also placed colourful paper (5 types of colours) and insert them around the grave...
as a mark of respect ....
Warmest Regards,
Cecil
