In addition, it is best to avoid wearing red and white clothes when going out during the Qingming Festival, especially at night. Girls must not wear red and white dresses when going out. Wearing red clothes at night can easily attract extremely ominous things, while white clothes can easily be mistaken for the same kind by them and they may approach you. What preparations should be made for visiting graves during Qingming Festival?1. Preparation: First of all, you need to prepare the sacrificial items before tomb sweeping. If you are offering sacrifices to your ancestors in the countryside, you need to prepare incense, candles, paper money, and Qingming blue. You can also prepare some sacrificial clothes (the kind burned for the dead to wear), or other daily necessities. Remember to bring a lighter. If you go to a cemetery to pay respects, you do not need to bring anything to burn, but you can prepare flowers.2. Repairs: Normally, if you need to weed, repair, visit or cut down trees at your ancestral graves, you need to choose a good day, but these things can be done during the Qingming Festival. It is important to repair the grave before worshiping, so when offering sacrifices on Qingming Festival, be sure to remove the weeds from the ancestral graves. 3. Burning incense: When offering sacrifices, you must first light incense, then light candles, and then say a few words. The content of the words can be, someone has come to pay tribute to you, your recent life situation, I hope the ancestors will bless you, etc. 4. Bowing: After burning incense, one must kowtow to the ancestors, usually by kneeling on both knees and bowing three times. This shows respect for the ancestors and is also a traditional custom. 5. Burning paper: After burning incense, you can burn paper money for your ancestors. There are many kinds of paper money for the dead now. When you buy it, the seller will tell you which ones are used for ancestor worship. It is recommended to burn more paper money for the dead. 6. Hanging Green: There is a custom of hanging green when visiting graves during the Qingming Festival. After completing the above tasks, you can then clean up the ancestral graves. Finally, make sure all the incense, candles, and paper are burned out and there are no sparks before leaving to avoid burning the mountain and causing a fire. In addition, it is not recommended to set off firecrackers as they can easily cause forest fires. 7. Leaving: When visiting the graves during the Qingming Festival, most people will bring some food as offerings. But food will spoil, so after the worship, you need to pray to the ancestors and then share the offerings. In addition, when leaving the cemetery, be careful where you step, do not look back, and leave with respect. Do you want to know your own Bazi? Want to figure out where your golden marriage is?
