Is it okay to go to the grave in advance for the Chinese New Year?

Going to the grave is one of the traditional customs in China, usually during the Qingming period, which is also called ancestor worship. Many places also have the custom of going to the grave on New Year's Day, such as Sichuan, Guizhou, Yunnan and other places. In addition, in areas where customs are relatively well preserved, graves will be swept on the afternoon of New Year's Eve. In some areas where customs are relatively well preserved, incense sticks are placed in front of ancestors' graves, indicating that they are invited to go home for the New Year. On New Year's Day, they should carry money paper with them and send it back to the graves to worship and say goodbye.

Whether you can go to the grave during the Chinese New Year depends on the customs of various places. When sweeping the grave, you should pay attention to completely extinguish the burning items to avoid causing fires.
