1, the black gas transportation capacity is low.

On the morning of grave sweeping, when you wash your face, if you look in the mirror and find that your forehead is getting darker and darker, it means that your fortune is very low. Try to avoid sweeping graves. If you must go, you can bring protective items (such as amulets) to solve it.

2. Fasting is forbidden.

Tomb-Sweeping Day got up in the morning and arrived at the grave-sweeping site. Try to eat vegetarian food and dress neatly and strictly to show courtesy and respect to your ancestors.

Step 3 pay attention to safety

When burning paper money and placing offerings, you should pay attention to fire prevention to ensure safety, and try to bring your own belongings to avoid buying vendors selling utensils near the sacrifice site. If you have to buy it because it is inconvenient to carry, you should prepare the change in advance, put a small amount of cash in the coat pocket that is convenient to take out, and put a large amount of cash in it to avoid being pickpocketed by thieves.

4. Choose a day for cleaning.

Try to avoid weekends or other peak periods of grave sweeping. Because the number of citizens' private cars is increasing during peak hours, traffic congestion will bring trouble to travel. You can choose to take all kinds of public transport, or extend the grave sweeping time (leaving early and returning late) or stagger the key periods to relieve the pressure on road traffic caused by many people and cars.

5, inventory at any time

Whether you arrive at the sacrifice site or leave, you should form a good habit of counting your belongings to avoid accidental loss of valuables. Collective sacrifice should be calculated at any time, especially parents with children should take good care of their children and prevent them from getting lost because of play.

A graveyard is a place where ghosts rest. Don't laugh and curse, call names, run around and fight, and urinate everywhere. In other graves in Lu Yu, don't trample on tombstones with your feet, and don't touch the victims of other tombstones. There is no doubt that you should sincerely recite "I'm sorry to bother you". The scope of the cemetery should be flattering, and you should control your emotions and attitudes so as not to disturb and offend other ghosts.

8. sacrifice time

The time for sweeping graves should be chosen when the sun is strong. Before dawn or in the evening, it is not good for grave sweepers. You should try to avoid sweeping graves. Usually, the best time to sweep graves is from 10 am to 3 pm.

9. Clean up the cemetery

Facing the graves of ancestors, we need to clean up weeds, increase loose soil, and tidy up the surrounding environment, so that the cemetery looks complete and tidy. At the same time, we pray silently in our hearts, place our hopes on the graves, and pray that ancestors will make future generations rich and prosperous.
