How to propose a toast at the grave?

Customs vary from place to place, especially between nations. Generally speaking, there are requirements: first, clothes should not be bright colors to show courtesy and respect for ancestors. Second, pregnant women should not go to worship. Pregnant women should avoid grave-sweeping activities in Tomb-Sweeping Day to avoid killing the fetus. In addition to emphasizing customs. Three dead people should buy white chrysanthemums. In ancient China, chrysanthemum was regarded as a flower of sustenance, which meant missing and homesickness. White chrysanthemum is the most suitable, and it can also be paired with some green grass, such as lily, green leaves and carnations. Huang Juhua, commonly known as Longevity Chrysanthemum, is more suitable for visiting patients than paying homage to the dead. The fourth order of grave-sweeping sacrifice is orderly grave-sweeping sacrifice, which many elderly people will pay considerable attention to. Generally, the cemetery or cemetery is cleaned first, and then the sacrifice is made. Since the sacrifice pays great attention to feng shui and etiquette, try not to make mistakes in order. The order is as follows: modify the cemetery-burn incense-sacrifice-toast-sacrifice-farewell. Fifth, Tomb-Sweeping Day paid attention to the generations of worshippers. The order of worship should be: father, mother, eldest son, eldest daughter, second son, second daughter, etc. After the worship, the sacrifice is blessed by the ancestors, and everyone can eat and take the sacrifice. Sixth, don't laugh and curse when sweeping the grave. Because the cemetery is the home of an old friend, don't cross the grave and the offerings, make a loud noise, laugh and curse, and call names. This is not only disrespectful to one's ancestors, but also a nuisance to nearby spiritual bodies, and it is not allowed to trample on other graves or judge the design of graves, which will be regarded as blasphemy. Tomb-Sweeping Day's birthday should be taboo for seven people. Someone at home happens to be Tomb-Sweeping Day's birthday, so try to avoid it. For example, if the birthday of the solar calendar happens to be in Tomb-Sweeping Day, try to celebrate the birthday of the lunar calendar, and vice versa. If it is really unavoidable, don't accept flowers and eat birthday cake on the same day.
