Can I sweep the grave before the vernal equinox?

Of course.

Sweeping graves at the vernal equinox can be done in advance, generally from before the vernal equinox to Tomb-Sweeping Day. Generally, the new grave (that is, three years after burial) chooses the vernal equinox to sweep the grave, and the old grave chooses Qingming to sweep the grave.

Attach importance to ancestor worship

1, the offerings need to be singular, usually three or five, such as fruits, desserts and dishes, and the number of offerings should also be singular, because it is said to be an auspicious number in the local government.

2. Pay attention to the placement of offerings and incense sticks. Generally, candles are outside and offerings are inside. Candles should be lit continuously and cannot be blown out by the wind, because it is a signal to inform ancestors to come back and enjoy the offerings. If it is broken, I am afraid of getting lost.

3. Don't make noise and fight in the process of ancestor worship, but meditate on your wishes, such as wishing your family safety and health, being pious and not making noise.
