If a daughter added graves to the cemetery, it was possible that she would clash with the yin energy of the ancestral tomb, thus affecting the family's fortune. In the old society, it was also believed that women could not return to their parents' home casually after getting married. Returning to their parents' home had to comply with etiquette and obtain the consent of the husband's parents. Women could accompany their husbands to the graves of their elders in their husband's family, but they could not do things like breaking ground or adding to the grave, or planting willow trees. Even when having wine and meat after adding to the grave, women could leave first or provide help to their husbands and other adult men, but they could not participate in the feast. The main purpose of adding to the graves during the Qingming Festival is for the heirs of deceased elders to express their longing for their deceased relatives. It also shows that the elderly have successors. The people who add to the graves should be adult male younger generations of the elderly. Therefore, according to traditional customs, daughters are not allowed to add to the graves during the Qingming Festival. However, from the perspective of today's people, it is possible to add to the grave. The specific advice is to make your own judgment based on the customs and habits of your family.
