When is the right time to go to the grave years ago?

But most places go to the grave on New Year's Eve afternoon. Paying homage to ancestors is a grand folk activity during the Spring Festival. It expresses gratitude and nostalgia for the ancestors, and hopes that the ancestors will bless the prosperity and happiness of future generations. If you can, worship your ancestors first and then eat New Year's Eve.

Sending ancestors home on the fifth day means sending them back to the cemetery. On the third morning, I ordered three pieces of yellow paper and walked out of the house with a fire. This is to send ancestors back to their hometown in the cemetery. So they usually burn money about a week in advance and before the 23rd of the twelfth lunar month.

The custom of burning paper in off-year

The custom of burning paper in off-year has a long history. As early as the Han Dynasty, ancestor worship in China was already a very important activity in the Spring Festival. The ancient custom is to worship ancestors in the twelfth lunar month, usually after the twentieth of the twelfth lunar month, so it is best to burn paper after the twentieth of the twelfth lunar month, which means it can be burned around the following year.

In the twelfth lunar month, it was said, "Please go to the grave and ask your ancestors for a big donation." Ancestor worship has a long history in China. Death is not only an important symbol of filial piety, but also a virtue of respecting the elderly. This is a custom handed down from our country, and some cultures still need to be passed on.
