Introduction: One of the customs of the Winter Solstice is to burn paper money at the graves. So how many days in advance can we visit the graves at the Winter Solstice in 2019? What are the customs of burning paper money at the Winter Solstice? In the eleventh month of the lunar calendar, the north wind was biting and the cold current was rolling, brewing a heavy snow. Let’s come to Shuimoxiansheng.com to pay attention to the eleventh month of the lunar calendar in 2019.

How many days in advance can we visit the graves during the Winter Solstice in 2019?

During the winter solstice in 2019, it is generally possible to visit the graves for about three days.
You can choose to visit the graves about 3 days before the winter solstice or about 3 days after the winter solstice.
What to pay attention to when visiting graves during the winter solstice:
1. Dress simply and do not kill in front of graves.
2. After going to the cemetery, first start to clean the weeds around the cemetery. Pay special attention to whether there are any trees on the grave. If there are any trees, pull them out; then observe whether there is any soil in front of the tomb blocking the small Mingtang, and whether the drainage ditch is blocked.
3. Observe the tomb frame and tombstone to see if they have collapsed or cracked. If any abnormality is found, promptly ask a Feng Shui master to provide guidance and take remedial measures.
4. Offer the offerings, light the incense and burn the paper money (be careful to prevent fire).
Generally, the family members bow three times to the ancestors and then read the eulogy to express their remembrance of the deceased.

What is the significance of burning paper money during the Winter Solstice?

1. Generally, don’t burn it too late. It’s better to burn it in the evening.
Because it gets dark quickly in winter, and if it gets dark or too late, it's easy to attract bad things. It is also best to wear auspicious items when burning paper, which can help to avoid misfortune and ward off evil spirits.
2. Burn paper money, usually at a crossroads near home.
Before burning, you can write the name of the ancestor on the list, but do not write the names of descendants or your own name. If you want to write, you can generally call them descendants. Another way is to burn it in front of the ancestor's tomb or next to the spirit tablet according to the rules.
3. When burning incense while burning paper, remember not to use chemical incense or inferior incense. Natural incense is the correct choice. You can go to Wuxiang Copper Lu to order some good natural incense for offering. Expanded content---Analysis of the definition of winter solstice:
The Winter Solstice, also known as the Winter Festival, the Sub-New Year, the Longest Day Festival, etc., has both natural and humanistic connotations. It is not only an important solar term among the 24 solar terms, but also a traditional festival among the Chinese people. On the winter solstice, the Big Dipper points to Zi, and the sun's ecliptic longitude reaches 270°. It falls on December 21-23 of the Gregorian calendar every year. The Winter Solstice is one of the eight festivals of the year. In ancient times, people had the custom of worshiping gods and offering sacrifices to their ancestors on the "Eight Festivals". The Winter Solstice is regarded as a major festival in winter. There is a saying among the people that "The Winter Solstice is as important as the New Year", so the ancients called the Winter Solstice "Second Year" or "Little New Year". In some coastal areas of southern my country, the traditional custom of worshiping ancestors during the winter solstice is still continued. In some areas in northern my country, there is a custom of eating dumplings on the winter solstice every year.
