Tomb sweeping taboos during Qingming Festival

Avoid wearing brightly colored clothes
You cannot wear bright red or purple clothes to visit the graves during the Qingming Festival. This is disrespectful to your ancestors and predecessors. I believe that no one would wear such clothes to participate in such activities.
However, there are always people who are careless and inadvertently use red when wearing jewelry. No underwear or undergarments should be worn in red, except during your zodiac year.
Pregnant women should avoid visiting graves
Generally speaking, pregnant women are advised to avoid tomb-sweeping activities during the Qingming Festival. From another perspective, the Qingming Festival is very crowded, and for the safety of the fetus, pregnant women are not recommended to participate. Also, the surrounding environment of tomb-sweeping is mostly filled with the smell of cannon fodder, which is not good for the health of pregnant women.
Strictly speaking, women who have their periods should also avoid such activities.
Outsiders should not participate in other people's tomb sweeping
It is taboo to participate in tomb sweeping as an outsider during the Qingming Festival, which can easily lead to unnecessary trouble. After all, we are not a family.
