Which day will Qingming Festival not be celebrated in 2022?

“Don’t celebrate the community festival during the Qingming Festival” means that ancestors who have just passed away should be worshipped in advance. The "she" in "Qingming Festival does not end with she" refers to the fifth day after the beginning of spring.
According to legend, King Yama treats all new ghosts preferentially, allowing them to enjoy the offerings of their relatives in advance; therefore, filial sons and grandchildren can pay homage early without having to wait until Qingming Festival. However, the Spring Festival is also the day to worship the land god. In order to avoid the gods and ghosts fighting for food, the worship of the ancestors who have just passed away must be done before the Spring Festival.
The fifth Wu day after the beginning of spring in 2022 is March 10, 2022 (the eighth day of the second month) , so for relatives who have just passed away, they should be worshipped in advance before March 10, 2022, and not wait until Qingming Festival.

What do the three before and four after Ghost Festival mean?

"Three days before and four days after Ghost Festival" is a saying of the older generation (Ghost Festival is Qingming Festival), which means that it is best to worship ancestors on Qingming Festival three days before or four days after Qingming Festival.
In some areas, there is a saying that "the first three and the last four" and people pay attention to visiting graves on odd days. In addition, people in some places believe that the day before Qingming Festival is "Cold Food Festival", and it is not appropriate to visit the graves on Cold Food Festival, so if you want to go early, it is best to go three days in advance.

What should we pay attention to when paying homage to our ancestors and visiting their graves?

1. Abide by the time and rules when visiting the graves, otherwise it would be disrespectful to the ancestors. The time should be after 9pm, but not later than midnight; if it is during the day, it should be before noon (12pm). 2. Dress appropriately: When visiting a grave, you must dress solemnly and respectfully. Do not wear bright red or bright green clothes. You can wear casual clothes, but avoid wearing anything too exaggerated or eccentric. Simple and elegant clothes are the best. 3. It is not appropriate to take photos. The purpose of tomb sweeping is to worship ancestors, not for fun, so do not take photos at the cemetery, or even take photos casually, otherwise it will attract bad aura, which may cause imbalance of yin and yang, and damage personal fortune. 4. It is not advisable to bring outsiders to participate in tomb sweeping. It is quite taboo to bring outsiders to participate in tomb sweeping, which may easily cause unnecessary trouble. After all, they are not a family, and the luck they have is different, which may cause a disorder in the aura, leading to disharmony and bad luck.
