New graves should be buried before the Spring Equinox?According to ancient legend, people who have just passed away have no relatives or friends in the underworld and are lonely and helpless. The offerings sent by their relatives in the world of the living will always be snatched away by other wild ghosts. It is said that Sheqian is the legal receiving day of the underworld. During this legal period, all the offerings sent to the newly deceased can be received by the newly deceased.The Spring Festival is usually before the Spring Equinox, so there is a saying that new graves should be buried before the Spring Equinox. What are the customs of visiting graves during the Spring Equinox?1. According to rural customs, the time from the Spring Equinox to the Qingming Festival is the time for visiting the graves, but it is taboo to visit the graves after the Qingming Festival, because after the Qingming Festival, the doors of the ancestors' tombs will be closed on the Qingming Festival, and no matter how many gifts the descendants send, they will not be able to use them.2. There are rules in rural areas that the best time to visit graves during Qingming Festival is from the afternoon to before sunset, because the Yang energy is strong during this period. Visiting graves at other times will have heavy Yin energy and is not good for future generations. It is taboo to visit graves in the morning or after dusk. 3. In rural areas, there is a taboo that prohibits the elderly, the weak, the seriously ill and the young children from sweeping the graves, because these people are weak and will attract negative energy, which is a big taboo. 4. In rural areas, it is customary not to visit graves on an empty stomach. You must eat a good meal or drink some porridge before visiting graves, because an empty stomach makes one weak and easily fatigued, and graves have heavy negative energy, which can cause troubles. 5. There is a rule in rural areas that you should not visit relatives and friends or drop by to visit other people's homes after visiting the graves. This is because when you come back from the cemetery, some negative energy will inevitably follow you. If you drop by to visit other people's homes, you will bring the negative energy to other people's homes, which will cause dissatisfaction in other people's homes. |
