Avoid joking or cursingFamilies usually go to visit graves on Qingming Festival together, and usually bring children along. However, tomb-sweeping is a serious matter after all, and no joking is allowed. You must know that cemeteries are the sleeping places of the ghosts after all. Laughing, scolding, and getting angry will disturb the ghosts. It is a very disrespectful behavior and may lead to revenge. 2. Pregnant women are not allowed to visit graves During the Qingming Festival, pregnant women are advised to avoid tomb sweeping activities, because the Yin energy is strong during the Qingming period, which will affect pregnant women and children. In addition, tomb sweeping during the Qingming Festival is prone to fatigue and accidents, which can threaten the safety of the fetus if you are not careful. In addition, the weather and surrounding environment of tomb sweeping are not conducive to the health of pregnant women. 3. Avoid tomb sweeping for the weak During the Qingming Festival, those who are ill or in poor spirits should not go to visit the graves. This is because the body is at its weakest when a person is sick, and it is easy for others to "take advantage of the opportunity", and it is very easy for the creatures from the underworld to possess the person and cause trouble after returning home. In addition, pregnant women and children under 6 years old also need to be cautious when visiting graves. 4. Avoid taking photos in cemeteries You are not allowed to take photos when visiting graves during the Qingming Festival. There is a god above our heads. When visiting the graves, you must not take photos together or even take photos casually at the cemetery, otherwise it will attract bad things. It is very likely to cause an imbalance of yin and yang in one's own body, damage one's fortune, and in serious cases, even lose the protection of one's ancestors. 5. Avoid wearing gaudy and eccentric clothing It is not appropriate to wear bright red or purple clothes, or dress too eccentrically, or wear red clothes or accessories when visiting the graves on Qingming Festival. It is best to dress appropriately in plain colors. Because tomb sweeping is a very serious matter, dressing too brightly and out of place is disrespectful to the ancestors. In addition, tomb sweeping is very tiring, so dressing simply is more convenient. 6. Avoid outsiders participating in tomb sweeping It is not appropriate to bring outsiders to the tomb-sweeping ceremony during the Qingming Festival, including unmarried boyfriends and girlfriends. The people who visit graves during Qingming Festival are mostly family members or ancestors, and it is an activity to pray for the blessings of the ancestors. It is not appropriate for outsiders to participate in tomb sweeping. Secondly, it may cause a disturbance of the aura, leading to disharmony and bad luck. 7. Avoid making comments at a cemetery When visiting graves during the Qingming Festival, whether you are passing by someone else's grave or the graves of your ancestors, you should show respect and be careful where you step. Never step on other people's graves or the flowers and plants in the cemetery, or comment on other people's graves, otherwise it will be regarded as blasphemy, and you will encounter bad things and go home in trouble. Taboos for going out during Qingming Festival1. Avoid whistlingDuring the Qingming Festival, don't whistle when you go out at night. The sound of whistling can easily attract ghosts. Be careful that they may hear you and follow you. 2. Avoid calling names Don’t call people’s names easily when you are outside on Qingming night. Try to use code names to avoid the ghosts remembering their names. 3. Avoid saying the word "ghost" During the Qingming Festival, ghosts roam around. If you keep saying the word "ghost", they may easily think you are calling them and will haunt you. 4. Avoid taking photos at night Don’t take photos on Qingming night, especially selfies. It’s easy to take them in the photo and bring them home, which can cause trouble. 5. Avoid going out at night It is best not to go out at night during the Qingming Festival, especially for people with a weak horoscope. Also, don't go to remote or sparsely populated places, otherwise you will only ask for trouble. 6. Don’t look back easily When you are out and about during the Qingming Festival or walking in a sparsely populated area, if you vaguely feel someone calling you, do not look back easily, because it might be a ghost. 7. Avoid hugging each other’s shoulders There are three fires on a person's body, one on the top of the head and one on each shoulder. Putting your arms around others' shoulders will extinguish the fire. If all the fires are extinguished, it is very likely that the person will be possessed by a ghost. 8. Avoid stepping on ghost paper If you see people burning paper money on the road during the Qingming Festival, you must not step over it, because the burning paper money is a sacrifice to ghosts, and stepping on it will bring revenge. 9. Avoid covering your forehead During the Qingming Festival, it is best to expose your forehead, not wear a hat or let your bangs down, especially when visiting graves or taking a night tour. Because the forehead is the place where the life gate is located, if it is covered it will be disadvantageous to oneself and it will be easy for evil spirits to take advantage of the opportunity and enter. 10. Avoid picking up money on the roadside When visiting graves during the Qingming Festival, do not pick up money you see on the road, especially in rural areas. The money dropped on the ground might be used to bribe the Ox-Head and Horse-Face, or it might be a trap set by ghosts. No matter which one it is, stepping on it randomly may be disadvantageous to yourself. Do you want to know your own Bazi? Want to figure out where your golden marriage is?
