Taboos of Cold Clothes Festival
(1) Do not burn winter clothing paper for three years. According to traditional Chinese customs, the first time winter paper is burned after the death of a person must be in an odd year, and the soil must be restored and a tombstone erected first. The customs in each region are different. You can burn paper, but in some areas, you are not allowed to fill the soil during the Qingming Festival in the first three years. There is no custom of not burning paper during the Cold Clothes Festival.
(2) Women are forbidden to travel on the first day of the tenth lunar month. It is said that the Cold Clothes Festival originated from the legend of Meng Jiangnu's journey of thousands of miles to find her husband. The fact that women travel on this day is a reflection of the tragedy of Meng Jiangnu's journey of thousands of miles to find her husband, but her husband was already dead. Therefore, in some places, it is taboo for women to travel on this day.
(3) All clothing and paper money sent to the deceased must be burned. Only when they are burned thoroughly can these papers from the living world be transformed into silk, cloth, houses, clothes, and gold, silver, and copper coins in the underworld. As long as there is even a little bit that is not burned out, all previous efforts will be wasted and the deceased cannot use it. Therefore, when burning winter clothes on October 1st, you must be particularly careful and meticulous.
(4) During the Cold Clothes Festival, when adding soil to the graves, one does not use a basket or a sack. Instead, one uses clothes to hold the soil. The more soil one holds, the more prosperous the clan will be. The head of the family leads his children and grandchildren to add soil to the ancestral tomb. They carry food boxes, a large square table and rich offerings (20 to 30 large bowls) and go to the tomb one by one to worship. This is called "going to the big tomb".
(5) It is best to do this between 9:00 a.m. and 3:00 p.m. Don't go to the cemetery too early or too late. On the first day of October, the sun rises later and sets earlier. The period from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. is the time of the day when the Yang energy is relatively strong, which will strengthen your own Yang energy.
(6) It must be burned during the Cold Clothes Festival or before. 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.
