Can I visit the graves in advance during the Cold Clothes Festival?

It can be advanced, but not delayed.
According to custom, the Cold Clothes Festival is the most appropriate day to send winter clothes to deceased relatives and friends. If you cannot deliver winter clothes on the day of the Cold Clothes Festival due to some matters, you can actually do it a few days in advance, but never after the Cold Clothes Festival. In other words: you can do it in advance, but you can’t delay it!
In China's traditional sacrificial customs, it is better to go early rather than later. Qingming Festival, Shangsi Festival, Zhongyuan Festival and Hanyi Festival are known as the four major sacrificial festivals. Among these festivals, it is naturally best to go on the same day. If you cannot go on the same day, it is best to go 2-3 days in advance. This is an established sacrificial custom.
Preparing offerings before burning winter clothes <br /> There is a saying in Luoyang dialect: "October 1st, greasy", which means that on October 1st, people have to cook and fry food, chop meat, make dumplings, and prepare food for ancestors. These things are greasy and oily, and they will inevitably get all over their hands and faces during the operation, which is the so-called "greasy".
Preparation of offerings is usually done in the morning. After the offerings were prepared, the family sent the children to the street to buy some colored paper, paper money, and incense foil for later use. The five-color paper comes in five colors: red, yellow, blue, white and black. It is thin and some even have cotton in the middle. After lunch at noon, the housewife cleaned the stove and gathered the family together so that they could go to the grave and burn winter clothes.

Fate is a constant, referring to a specific object; fortune is a variable, referring to the transformation of time and space. Choosing different fortunes will lead to different destinies and life paths. Do you want to know when your good luck will come?
