With the outbreak of the epidemic this year, our lifestyle has also changed to a certain extent. When it comes to tomb sweeping, everyone can’t help but wonder: Can we sweep the tombs on the Winter Solstice on December 21, 2020? What should I pay attention to? The eleventh month of the lunar calendar is the winter month. Also known as Gu Yue and Chang Yue. The representation in the Heavenly Stems and Earthly Branches is also called "Zi Yue" and "Jian Zi". Then let’s follow Mr. Shui Mo to learn about the fortune information for November of the lunar calendar in 2020.Can I visit the graves on the Winter Solstice on December 21, 2020?Answer: Yes.1 It is said that one year, in order to avoid Japanese pirates, people from his hometown ran to other places. After the Japanese pirates left, the elders and villagers from his hometown returned home. They missed the time for tomb sweeping on Qingming Festival, and it was close to the winter solstice, so they swept the tombs on the winter solstice. 2 Putian is divided into Nanyang and Nanyang. In Nanyang, people sweep tombs on Qingming Festival, while in Beiyang, more people sweep tombs on Winter Solstice than on Qingming Festival. Qingming Festival is bigger than Winter Solstice, so people usually sweep tombs on Qingming Festival. Those who died before Qingming Festival will have their tombs swept on Qingming Festival, and those who died before Winter Solstice will have their tombs swept on Winter Solstice. 3 In Taiwan, the tradition of using nine-layer cakes to worship ancestors during the winter solstice is still preserved. Glutinous rice flour is used to shape chickens, ducks, turtles, pigs, cows, sheep and other animals that symbolize good luck, fortune, wealth and longevity. The cakes are then steamed in layers in a steamer and used to worship ancestors to show that the people have not forgotten their ancestors. People of the same surname and clan gather at the ancestral temple on the winter solstice or on an agreed-upon date before or after it, and worship their ancestors one by one according to the order of seniority. This is commonly known as "ancestor worship." After the ceremony, a grand banquet will be held to entertain relatives who come to worship their ancestors. Everyone drinks heartily and reconnects with each other after a long separation, which is called "eating ancestors." The winter solstice ancestor worship tradition has been passed down from generation to generation in Taiwan to show that one has not forgotten one's "roots." 4 Most of southern China has the custom of sweeping tombs during the winter solstice. From Shanghai, Suzhou, Hangzhou, Nanchang, Putian, to Kunming, Hainan and Chaoshan area. Is it possible to visit graves in advance during the Winter Solstice in 2020?Answer: Yes.Visiting tombs on the Winter Solstice is a traditional custom in many places. If there is no specific regulation on the time of visiting tombs on the Winter Solstice, then you can visit tombs in advance as long as you choose an auspicious day. The meaning of tomb sweeping is to express grief and remember the deceased, and there are not many restrictions on time. Moreover, the winter solstice is the festival when yang returns and everything is renewed, just like life: birth is the beginning of death, and death is the beginning of life, in a cycle. Therefore, there is no need to worry about advancing the time. What should I pay attention to?1Promote green and staggered travel. Due to the large number of people paying homage, please try to take public transportation. If you drive to the cemetery to pay homage, please obey the unified instructions of the traffic police and cemetery property management regarding parking. It is prohibited to park vehicles on the fire lane. Keep the fire lane clear. 2 Smoking and setting off fireworks are prohibited during sacrifices and tomb sweeping. If you need to burn paper, you should do it in the designated incineration bin and it is prohibited to move the incineration bin at will. Remember to wait until the remaining flames of paper money, incense and candles are burned out before leaving. 3 Smoke-free sacrifices are encouraged, and civilized memorial methods such as flowers and planting trees can be used. 4 When visiting graves and tombs, the fire prevention regulations of the cemetery must be strictly observed.
