According to the old almanac, the eighth day of the sixth lunar month in 2019 is not a suitable day to visit graves and worship ancestors!

What are the requirements for ancestor worship?

1. If a woman goes to the grave to offer sacrifices to her dead ancestors, she will be mistakenly believed to have no men in the family, and this will lead to the disaster of having no children or grandchildren.
2. People who are left with disabilities after being sentenced cannot attend their parents’ funerals or visit their graves to pay homage. Because this would "bring shame to the ancestors", so it is taboo to visit the graves to worship ancestors.
3. The Han people forbid any unclean person from participating in the sacrifice, such as menstruating women, pregnant women, women who have just given birth, widows, and even those who have sex during the sacrifice period.
4. When visiting the grave of a newly buried person for the first time to offer sacrifices, one must first walk around the grave three times. When returning home, one must return home by other roads and cannot take the same road as when leaving.
5. When offering sacrifices to the elderly deceased, one must be extremely respectful. One cannot make loud noises, laugh, or fart in front of the ancestral spirits. One must kowtow in respect, burn incense and candles, and observe a moment of silence.
