How many days before the Qingming Festival is the tomb-sweeping day?

Tomb sweeping in advance during the Qingming Festival usually takes place one or two weeks before the event, and the time for sweeping new and old graves is different.
1. New grave:
Refers to a grave where the burial time is no more than 3 years.
The first tomb sweeping should be done on an auspicious day 10 days before the Qingming Festival.
The second time of tomb sweeping should be on the day before Qingming Festival, no need to look for an auspicious day;
The third tomb-sweeping ceremony is held on an auspicious day 10 days after the 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.

What is the best time to visit graves during the Qingming Festival?

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 time for tomb sweeping in some places will be earlier, usually set at the Mao time (5 to 7 in the morning), because people believe that ghosts dare not come out to eat offerings until dawn, so if you want to place your ancestors, it is best to choose this time.

Steps of tomb sweeping and burning incense

1. Take one or three incense sticks and light them. Immediately after lighting, turn the incense head upwards and use your other hand to gently fan out the fire. Do not blow on the incense or wave it to extinguish the flame.
2. Hold the incense stick with the index, middle, second and third fingers of your left and right hands, support it with the thumbs of your left and right hands, press the tail of the incense, place the incense head level with the Buddha statue, and raise it to the level of your eyebrows to offer.
3. If it is a stick of incense, insert it in the center of the incense burner with your left hand.
4. If there are three incense sticks, put the middle one first, then the one on the right in your left hand, and then the one on the left. The distance between the three incense sticks should be about one inch and two. If the incense burner is large and the incense is thick, the distance between the incense sticks can be farther. Otherwise, it can be shortened. It depends on the situation. When burning incense, you should chant the Buddha's name or make a wish according to your own situation.
