In many areas, people worship their ancestors at the beginning of spring. As recorded in Guangdong's "Xin'an County Chronicles": "People hold events at their ancestral temples on this day."

What should you pay attention to when visiting graves to pay homage to your ancestors at the beginning of spring?

Grave-visiting time
After choosing an auspicious day for sacrifice, it is best to go when the Yang energy is stronger, usually between 10 am and 3 pm. It is not allowed to visit the graves before dawn, in the evening, or at night. Because the yang energy is weak and the yin energy is strong at this time, it is very unfavorable for people to visit the graves.
Route to the grave site
Do not go to worship ancestors alone, especially to remote places, and it is best to go there according to the normal order. Firstly, it is a safety issue, and secondly, remote places are humid and easily attract evil spirits.
Grave-visiting rituals
When facing the cemetery of your ancestors, you must clean up the weeds, add some loose soil, sweep away the debris in front of the tomb, and clean the tombstone. And they pray silently in their hearts, hoping that the ancestors in the netherworld will bless the future generations with wealth and prosperity.
Other things to note when visiting graves:
It is better to be sincere when offering sacrifices to ancestors and visiting graves. Be respectful to the graves you encounter while walking or standing. Do not touch the tombstones with your feet. Be serious and solemn in such places. Do not touch other tombstones casually.
