What offerings should be brought to the graves during the Cold Clothes Festival?

Generally speaking, the offerings prepared for visiting the graves on the day of the Cold Clothes Festival include cold clothes (paper clothes), incense and candles, paper money, fruits, dumplings, colored paper, incense foil, vegetarian wine and other tributes.
The memorial ceremony of sending winter clothes can be held at home or at the tomb. The home memorial ceremony can be held at the doorstep or at a nearby intersection, but attention should be paid to dry weather and caution should be exercised to prevent fire. Generally speaking, it is best to offer sacrifices at the grave for those who have just passed away this year. When offering sacrifices to the grave, it is best to choose before noon. The yin energy is heavier at this time, so it is necessary to avoid it appropriately, especially for the elderly, children and the weak.
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. As the saying goes, "A good fate is not as good as good luck." A person's destiny is already determined, and the only thing that can be controlled is his or her "luck."
