Can Tomb-Sweeping Day go out to work?

In the folk, Tomb-Sweeping Day can go out to work.

In the folk, many people will choose to go back to their hometown before Tomb-Sweeping Day, so as to make sacrifices to sweep graves, repair ancestral graves and graves of deceased relatives in Tomb-Sweeping Day, and so on. And then return to work the same day. There is no taboo in traveling in Tomb-Sweeping Day, so you can go out boldly. Although there are many customs and taboos in Tomb-Sweeping Day, they are generally not particular about them.

It should be noted that before going out to participate in such activities, it is best to check the calendar of the day. If Tomb-Sweeping Day's schedule is suitable for this day, then you can go out to work. However, if traveling in Tomb-Sweeping Day is taboo on that day, you might as well choose another suitable day instead of going out to work. It is said that every year Tomb-Sweeping Day and Ghost Festival (the 14th day of the seventh lunar month) is the day when the gates of hell are wide open. At night, a group of ghosts will go out for a night outing, fearing that they will bump into each other. Girls themselves belong to the shade, and at night, they get heavier and heavier, so of course, Tomb-Sweeping Day seldom goes out at night.
