As the saying goes, "new shoes don't step on the old man's grave", which means you can't wear new shoes to the grave, let alone buy new shoes on this day. Don't borrow money: When Tomb-Sweeping Day offered sacrifices to sweep graves, the ancients often presented paper money to their ancestors, which meant to send wealth to the deceased. Ancestors think that Tomb-Sweeping Day is the day to give money to their ancestors. If you borrow money from others on this day and don't pay it back, it's a major event in life not to get married.
