Tomb-sweeping time in Tomb-Sweeping Day

1. Tomb-Sweeping Day's grave-sweeping time is very particular. Sweeping graves too early or too late will lead to the problem of excessive yin. So the ancients thought that 12 was the best from 8 am to noon.

2. Ancient times (5-7 o'clock) is the best. Because of the "midnight sunrise", the ancient military forces called the bell every morning. It's generally not that early now, and it can be finished at noon 12 in most areas.

The time to sweep the grave can only be around 3 pm at the latest, because the sun will set soon, and the sunshine is not strong enough, for fear of something unclean. At this time, I will take home things that I am not good at going to the grave, so I should choose the time to go to the grave during the day when the sun is strong, and try to avoid it at night when it is not bright or when the yin is heavy.
