How long is it appropriate for Qingming to visit graves?

1, new grave

Refers to the burial of less than 3 years; Grave-sweeping time is an auspicious day 1 day before Tomb-Sweeping Day. The second time to sweep the grave was the day before Tomb-Sweeping Day; I visited the grave three times and chose a lucky day 1 day after Tomb-Sweeping Day.

2. Ancient graves

Refers to burial for more than 3 years; Choose any day before and after Tomb-Sweeping Day 1 day to sweep the grave, and you don't have to choose an auspicious day; When the date of grave sweeping is chosen, the specific time of grave sweeping should be chosen at the fifth watch of the day, that is, before the sun comes out. This is due to the traditional custom that ghosts and gods dare to come out to eat offerings before dawn. (Note: around 4 o'clock in the middle of the night at 5 o'clock).

Tomb-Sweeping Day's ancestor worship is a very serious matter. You should dress neatly, preferably in plain color, and look solemn. We pay tribute to the dead. First of all, wear clothes that conform to the atmosphere. Don't wear gaudy clothes at this time, it's not serious or important, especially red clothes or clothes that are too bright and beautiful. Paying homage to ancestors is a very serious matter. When we pay homage to our ancestors, we should respect them and obey the rules.

Before going to the grave, you should prepare offerings according to local customs, such as fruits, cakes, drinks, fish, flowers or artificial flowers. However, if the deceased had religious beliefs before his death, the offerings would be very particular and could not be placed casually. For example, you can't enlarge fish and meat, only fruits, cakes and flowers can be put. In a word, you can prepare some foods that the deceased liked to eat before his death. He was a vegetarian before his death, and the food you put on him was a big disrespect to the deceased. Everyone must pay attention.

Before taking the children to worship their ancestors, tell them not to laugh or make trouble when sweeping the grave. It is a solemn and clean place, and it is disrespectful to their ancestors to play with it. There are also some adults who don't pay attention to self-cultivation, swear words and don't understand the truth of letting the dead rest in peace. Don't take sweeping graves as a joke. Speak softly in the cemetery, behave appropriately, and sweep the grave in a civilized way.
