Effectiveness of school moral education is not satisfactory currently, from a fundamental point of view, this result is largely due to the limitations of moral education in schools. Because moral activities'means, such as moral contents, methods, and teachers themselves are varying degrees of limitations, while moral education in schools are with time and space constraints, school moral education's impact exists constraints inevitably. So, how to compensate for this limitation?In recent years, returning to the life of moral education will undoubtedly have this effect, therefore, choosing the existent moral education resources is a breakthrough in solving the problem.

Next, I will focuse on surveying some towns of Yibin County during the festival of Tomb-sweeping Day, eventually write down the course of activities of Tomb-sweeping Day about one family named Li in Baihua Town as the study text of Field Work into the paper. Because festival ceremonies and activities are essentially the same on tracking three families, in additon, due to the article content's limitation, only to describe the family named Li how they spend Tomb-sweeping Day.
