On the anniversary of burning paper on the grave, the first thing to do is to clean up the weeds around the grave, give the yin house a bright space, and prevent accidents when burning paper. However, it should be noted that the new grave cannot be broken for three years, and it must not be filled or dug, which will destroy the gathering of vitality in the grave and is not conducive to the fortune of future generations.

It is essential to burn paper money for sacrifice on the anniversary of burning paper money for sacrifice, not only because people want their ancestors to have wine, meat and money to spend in another world, but also because we are a sign of filial piety and miss them. Sacrifices can be physical objects or symbolic objects made of paper or other materials. People think that ghosts enjoy sacrifices only as a kind of spirit and breath, and only absorb the essence of sacrifices without eating physical objects. In most cases, sacrifices are also edible.

It is disrespectful to our ancestors and will disturb their rest in peace. It is unlucky for the dead and the living.
