Why can't Tomb-Sweeping Day go to the grave in 2023?

Because 2023 is a leap month in a leap year, it is disrespectful to go to the grave on a clear day in a leap month.

From the perspective of folklore, "leap year and leap month" is also called "empty moon" or "empty moon". "Empty" means nothing, and "empty" means something illusory, just like a tree without roots, reflected in the water. Therefore, many people tend to avoid the "empty moon" in important activities such as weddings, funerals, building houses and moving houses.

China traditional calendar usually divides 24 solar terms into 12 solar terms and 12 solar terms. Any month with only solar terms but no solar terms will be regarded as a leap month last month, while the March of the lunar calendar in 2023 has only clear solar terms but no solar terms, so 2023 is a leap February. In some proverbs, people think that if the leap month is clear and definite, it will lead to serious disasters.

Pay attention to the grave
