Can I go to the grave on the second day of the Lunar New Year?

Theoretically, it is not possible, because it is shown in the old yellow calendar that sacrifice is forbidden on the second day of 202 1, so it is not suitable for going to the grave to worship ancestors. However, there has always been a custom of offering sacrifices during the Spring Festival, which can be arranged according to the actual situation, but this day should be avoided.

In addition, in some areas, there is the custom of offering sacrifices to ancestors on the second day of the second day. For example, it was found in Yuxian County in northern China, which was called yu zhou in ancient times, also known as Luochuan. Yuzhou was first placed in the Northern Zhou Dynasty. Since ancient times, there has been a ceremony to worship ancestors on the second day of the first month. No matter how high the status, this day will be held for sacrifice. Commonly known as "New Year's greetings to ancestors", it expresses respect and yearning for ancestors.

Eating noodles is one of the customs on the second day of the Lunar New Year.

As the saying goes, the first day you have sex, the second day you have sex, the third day you have a family, the fourth day you have pancakes and fried eggs, the fifth day you pinch your mouth, and the seventh day you eat noodles every day. There are also: jiaozi noodles in the second grade, where the zygotes in the third grade go home, pancakes and scrambled eggs in the fourth grade, jiaozi in the fifth grade, zygotes in the sixth grade, and zygotes are sandwiched between seven zygotes and eight zygotes until the corner.

Therefore, we should eat noodles on the second day of the Lunar New Year, and some places interpret this statement as welcoming our daughter back to the door. Although noodles are a lot of food to eat at ordinary times, the noodles in Grade Two should be jiaozi noodles in Grade One. And this must be cold soup.

That is, noodles are cooked and soaked in cold water, which is called cold soup. Now it is usually made into noodles with gravy or Zhajiang Noodles. However, it must be soaked in cold water to maintain the custom of "eating noodles on the second day of school"
