What's so particular about the new grave-sweeping time?

Pay attention to the time of new grave sweeping: before Tomb-Sweeping Day 10.

Refers to the burial of less than 3 years; Grave-sweeping time is an auspicious day 10 days before Tomb-Sweeping Day. The second time to sweep the grave was the day before Tomb-Sweeping Day; The time for the third grave sweeping is an auspicious day 10 after Tomb-Sweeping Day. In addition to the "mountain sacrifice" for sweeping graves, there are ancestral temple sacrifices in later generations, which are called "temple sacrifices".

According to the custom, the order of sweeping is to sweep the grave first, that is, to clean the cemetery. Secondly, sacrifice, this procedure is very important, one is to mourn and the other is to empathize with one's ancestors, because mountains have spirits without owners, and ancestors have masters without spirits, and empathizing with ancestors can get the aura of mountains and rivers better.

Sacrifice for the new tomb:

When sweeping graves, people will bring wine, food, fruit and paper money to the cemetery. They will offer food to the graves of their loved ones, burn paper money, cultivate new soil for the graves, trim the graves, fold some light green branches on the graves, insert them on them, and press some paper money for others to see. There are still descendants in the graves, and then kowtow.

Then sit around and eat and drink; You can also fly kites and even compete with each other for related activities. Women and children will also fold some Yang Liuzhi nearby and put on steamed food with wicker. Others weave wicker into a reed ring and wear it on their heads, which can be described as "a dog that turns yellow in the afterlife without wearing willow in Qingming."
