When can I add soil to the grave?

Generally choose Tomb-Sweeping Day, to add soil to the grave. However, due to the different customs in different regions, we can adjust measures to local conditions.

But it should be noted that the thickness should cover the old soil, not too thick. Be careful not to take soil before and after the grave, but on both sides of the grave, preferably away from it. In addition, no matter how far away from the grave, the dug place should be filled in to avoid making people uncomfortable. Don't pat the grave with a shovel after spreading the soil. Slapping hard is disrespectful to your loved ones. Slowly level the soil with a shovel.

Pay attention to the following points when adding soil to the cemetery:

1. The new grave is less than three years old, and those that don't need to be cultivated are just buried graves. Three years is still suffocating, not suitable for breaking ground, and three years can be ignored.

2. The added soil cannot be mixed with feces. This is a great disrespect to our ancestors. The soil must be clean, and the color is best to avoid soil, black or red soil, which will damage the fortune of future generations.

It is best to borrow soil from Germany in Tianyue this month. These are two auspicious directions. Borrowing soil here is like filling an ancestral grave with auspicious breath.

4. The direction of the zodiac collision of the deceased cannot borrow soil. For example, if the deceased is a cow, you can't borrow soil in the wrong place, which is southwest of the grave. Other animal constellations can also be compared.

5. Don't beat with a hoe when plowing. In order to prevent the soil from slipping, someone will pat it hard. This is wrong, and it is also a disrespect for our ancestors. The above five taboos are common among the people, so you may wish to refer to them when you go to the grave for your ancestors.
