Why did Tomb-Sweeping Day "add soil" to the grave?

When I was in Tomb-Sweeping Day, there was a lot of emphasis on adding soil to graves and offering sacrifices to ancestors. Nowadays, young people only pay attention to the grave, but they have long been less concerned. Tomb-Sweeping Day is not a simple Tomb-Sweeping Day, but three days together, called "150", Cold Food Festival and Tomb-Sweeping Day. When to add soil and when to go to the grave is very particular.

The day from beginning of winter in the previous year to "150" happened to be 150 days, which was called 150 days. One hundred and fifty, swallowing soil. On the day of "150", the swallows returned from the south and began to build their nests with mud. My hometown pays attention to, "150, add soil." On the morning of one hundred and fifty, men took shovels to their ancestors' graves to add soil. And the taboo of this day is, "150, don't burn paper."

In fact, we all need to know which side of soil should be used to add soil to graves in rural Tomb-Sweeping Day, which side can't be used, the position of Tai Sui and its relationship with ground breaking.

First of all, we farmers should pay attention to the fact that Tomb-Sweeping Day usually adds soil to the left or right of the tomb. The left and right are based on the placement of the coffin. Generally, coffins are placed facing south, and farmers only need to add them left and right.

Secondly, friends should pay attention to it, that is, you must not borrow soil to block the grave before and after it, because you can't move your head or the front, which is a disrespect to your ancestors.

Again, this is how we add soil. When adding soil, we need to add it in three times. Usually we shovel the earth with a shovel and spread it on the grave. It is especially important to note that soil cannot be buckled on graves and graves, because it is a great disrespect to the deceased.

Knowing this, friends must pay attention to the next grave. The correct approach will certainly ensure the prosperity of our peasant family.
