People usually go there early in the morning on the day of tomb sweeping, so it is not advisable to eat. If the distance is too far and one cannot bear it, one can only eat some vegetarian food to show respect for the ancestors. In addition, when visiting the graves, no food other than offerings may be brought into the cemetery, let alone eaten at the cemetery. This is disrespectful and unfavorable.

During the Qingming Festival, families usually go to visit the graves together, and it is normal to bring children along. But tomb sweeping is a serious matter after all, and it is absolutely not allowed to be played around with. Whether during or after tomb sweeping, be careful not to let children play and laugh. After all, the cemetery is where the spirits sleep. Laughing, scolding and playing will disturb the spirits and is disrespectful and may lead to revenge.
