How many times can I visit the grave a year?

Generally speaking, it is possible. It turns out that there are more than one worship in a year, such as Tomb-Sweeping Day, Mid-Autumn Festival, Memorial Day and so on. Besides, in this era, many things are not as strict as before. It is normal that family members will not worship at the same time or just on the festival day because of their respective schedules. Of course, if there are special local customs, that is another matter.

There are no rules.

You can visit the grave many times a year, as long as you have time. Generally, Tomb-Sweeping Day and the seventh month of the lunar calendar can sweep graves.

Grave-sweeping refers to offering sacrifices to ancestors in a cemetery to express filial piety and yearning for ancestors, which belongs to a cultural tradition of honoring ancestors and pursuing the future with caution.

According to custom, people usually set off in the morning to visit graves. When sweeping graves, people should bring wine, food, fruit, paper money and other items to the cemetery, trim the graves, cultivate new soil, remove weeds, offer food to the graves of ancestors, then burn paper money and kowtow to worship.

Influenced by traditional cultural psychology, China people have a strong sense of family, pay special attention to their families and ancestors, and have a strong sense of ancestor worship and returning home. This is a special way to commemorate their ancestors.
