It is possible to visit graves in advance during the Qingming Festival.

How many days in advance can we visit the graves during the Qingming Festival?

It is generally possible to visit the graves in advance during the Qingming Festival, usually within one or two weeks.
The best time to visit tombs during Qingming Festival is between 7 a.m. and 3 p.m., because this is the time when the Yang energy is the strongest in the day, so it is the best time to visit tombs.
If you go to visit the graves after 3 pm, the negative energy will gradually increase. People with bad luck, heavy negative energy, and weak bodies will be easily affected negatively, so it is best not to stay at the cemetery after 3 pm.
In addition, the tomb-sweeping time for new and old graves is also different:
1. New grave:
Refers to a grave where the burial time is no more than 3 years.
The first time for tomb sweeping should be chosen on an auspicious day within 10 days before Qingming Festival; the second time for tomb sweeping should be chosen on the day before Qingming Festival; the third time for tomb sweeping should be chosen on an auspicious day within 10 days after Qingming Festival.
2. Old graves:
Refers to a grave where the burial time exceeds 3 years.
You can visit the graves on any day within 10 days before or after the Qingming Festival. You don’t have to choose an auspicious day. When the date for tomb sweeping is selected, the specific time for tomb sweeping should be chosen at the fifth watch (4:30 a.m.) of that day, that is, before the sun comes out. This is because people believe that ghosts only dare to come out to eat offerings before dawn.
