Is going to the grave to worship ancestors the same as going to the grave?

No. Sacrificing ancestors is not the same as going to the grave. One is in the ancestral hall and the other is in the cemetery. Of course, the pressure is quite different.

"ancestor worship" is a folk activity to worship ancestors in China. After consultation, descendants of the same surname decided to hold collective ancestor worship activities within a certain time and scope to mourn all the deceased ancestors, seek roots together, inherit filial piety and inspire generations to win glory for their ancestors.

Going to the grave is a ritual activity held by every household. Usually, during the Mid-Autumn Festival and the Winter Solstice Festival in Tomb-Sweeping Day, families and children will go to the graves of their deceased families to provide food and burn paper money. They can also go to the grave on the anniversary of the death of the deceased, and there is no limit to the number of times they go to the grave within one year.

Precautions:

It's just too late to worship, that is, from noon/kloc-0 to 3 o'clock, that is, going to the grave can't exceed 3 o'clock in the afternoon. Ancestors are born of yin and yang, so of course we need to keep the balance of yin and yang. They live in another world, and Yin Qi is very heavy. What we need to do is to absorb Yang Qi and these Yin Qi to achieve a balance. Otherwise, in the ancient people's concept, it was regarded as hydrophobic yin and easy to provoke bad luck.

When is the spirit of the sun strongest? The sun is shining and the moon is cloudy. Before 3 o'clock every day, the sun is very strong, which is when the sun is full of energy. In the meantime, people go to graves to avoid all unlucky factors. Naturally, there is no such thing as Yin Qi and bad luck, and the fortune will not be affected.
