When is the best time to go to the grave on Qingming Festival?

The best time for Tomb-Sweeping Day to go to the grave is from five to seven.

According to folk custom, the best time to go to the grave is Shi Mao, that is, from 5 am to 7 am. This time is when the sun has just risen, so it is more appropriate to go to the grave at this time. First of all, when the sun rises in Shi Mao, the sun is full of yang, and Yin and Yang meet, which is most suitable for going to the grave.

Secondly, the sun at this time will not be too poisonous. When you climb a mountain, you won't feel the sun explode, so you can be more comfortable. Therefore, generally speaking, the best time to go to the grave is Shi Mao. But in today's big cities, most people haven't got up yet, and most people are still sleeping, so they can't get up so early, so many people won't choose this time to go to the grave.
