Can we burn paper a few days later on the Cold Clothes Festival on October 1, 2020?

The burning of paper cannot be postponed on the Cold Clothes Festival. It must be burned on the Cold Clothes Festival or before and cannot be postponed. If the cremation is done after the first day of October, the deceased will not be able to put on his sleeves or pull up his trousers. After being born, he will wipe his nose with his sleeves when getting dressed and kick his pants when wearing them. This behavior will accompany him throughout his life. When offering sacrifices and sending winter clothes, everyone should be grateful and remember the past, and not be sad or grief-stricken at the sight of the objects, because this is the time when the Yin energy is strong. Your sadness can easily attract Yin evil energy to your body, affecting your physical and mental health, so you must be on guard. Instead, you should be happy and let your ancestors in the underworld also feel that you are living a happy and joyful life. This harmonious atmosphere is the best.

What should be burned during the Cold Clothes Festival?

Generally, there should be three incense sticks, three odd-numbered fruits, an odd-numbered snack, a bottle of wine (with the cap opened), three lit cigarettes on the altar, appropriate candies, paper money or gold ingots (auspicious numbers of ingots containing 3, 6, or 9, such as 330, 660...), three or seven dozen yellow paper, colored paper, and a bundle (in which you can put some of the ancestors' favorite items).
When they arrive at the grave, they burn incense and light candles, place dumplings and other offerings neatly, and the family members take turns kneeling and kowtowing; then they draw a circle on the grave, place colored paper and paper money inside the circle, and set it on fire. Some families not only burn paper money for the dead, but also burn "luxury goods" such as mansions and cars made of colorful paper. While burning them, they chant: "Mr. XX, you worked hard when you were alive, so enjoy yourself after you die, live in a mansion, drive a BMW, and live a glorious life, so that the King of Hell will be mad to death!" They are afraid that their relatives will not have a good life in the underworld.
Some families, when drawing a circle on the grave, remember to add another circle next to it. The purpose is to help those wandering ghosts who have no one to worship them, so that they don't become evil and steal the clothes of their ancestors.
