The so-called grave does not burn two pieces of paper, that is to say, when you go to the grave, you should burn the paper in place at one time, not the second or even the third time. There is an explanation for burning paper: there is inflation in the underworld, so it is enough to burn paper for ancestors. If they burn too much paper money, they will be in trouble. If they burn too much paper money, too many coins will be difficult to manage and the natural effect will be worse.

For a married daughter, it is not appropriate to go back to her family's grave. She can only worship her ancestors at her husband's house, because in people's traditional concept, if a daughter marries, she already belongs to someone else's family, and even if she marries again, she can only go to the grave with her husband. Therefore, as a married daughter, she will naturally go to the grave with her husband. In addition, if the daughter is too young, it is not suitable for going to the grave. If the child is under six years old, neither man nor woman is suitable for going to the grave. Because of the heavy yin in the cemetery, children can easily see some unclean things, so their daughter is too young to go to the grave.
