When repairing graves during the Ghost Festival, you should be careful that soil is taken from a hundred steps away. Be careful not to dig too deep as this will damage the ground veins. If you find subsidence or cracks around the grave, you must repair them to avoid disasters.

Things to note when repairing and relocating graves during the Ghost Festival:

1. The Feng Shui master inspects the ancestral grave and determines whether to repair the grave on the original site or find another cemetery to relocate the grave or change its orientation;
2. Whether you are relocating a grave or building a new one, it is crucial to choose an auspicious day and time when breaking ground. You cannot wait for several days after digging a grave before burying the body, to prevent the interior from being damaged by wild animals or exposed to wind and rain.
3. In addition, on the day of repairing or moving a tomb, ask a very good friend for help, and never dirty the inner hall (the tomb), such as spitting, throwing dirty things, wiping your nose, etc.
4. Do not put small animals of the Chinese zodiac into the inner hall casually during burial. Do not put mahogany products, cinnabar, metal objects, realgar and other evil-repelling items during burial. These things have strong magnetic fields and will affect the residence of the ancestors and bring bad luck to future generations.

What are the customs of Ghost Festival?

1. First, place food, bowls, chopsticks, wine glasses, tea and other offerings on the graves of ancestors, and then light three incense sticks in front of the graves.
2. After placing offerings to the land god who looks after graves, burn a piece of yellow paper. This custom is called "worshiping the land god" or "offering offerings to the "grave god". It is used to thank him for guarding the tomb all year round and protecting the ancestors from harm.
3. When the incense stick is half burned, burn the paper money and clothes prepared in advance on the graves of ancestors. A small amount of money and belongings are left and burned on other graves, for fear that other ghosts will go to the graves of ancestors and steal money and clothes after the people who visit the graves leave.
4. When the three incense sticks are burned out, the offerings are removed and scattered around the grave. This custom is called "worshiping the four directions." It means to throw food to the distant relatives and neighbors who go to visit the graves, so that they will not grab food from the graves of their ancestors after the visitors leave.
