Participants must enter the conference holding the flags given by their relatives. Therefore, when visiting the graves on Qingming Festival, paper flags are placed on the graves. Should we burn paper during the Qingming Festival in the first year?You should burn paper and hold memorial services every year after a loved one passes away.

Women who are weak or sick cannot visit graves. If they must go, they must wear jade or jade Buddha amulets.2. Pregnant women and women who are menstruating are not allowed to visit the graves; 3. A woman who is not officially married but is just a girlfriend cannot accompany her boyfriend to visit the graves; 4. Some places also stipulate that women whose husbands have died within three years are not allowed to visit the graves. 5. Families with a new daughter-in-law or a newborn baby must take the new daughter-in-law and the mother who just gave birth to a child and their child to visit the graves together during the Qingming Festival of that year. First of all, it means acknowledging one's ancestry, and secondly, it is also to comfort the ancestors: the family has grown and there are new members! If such a family goes to the grave to sweep the tomb, they should set off firecrackers, and in the curling smoke of the firecrackers, the newlyweds should kowtow and pay their respects in front of the grave, and the children should be held by the adults while paying their respects, saying "Dad (Mom), your daughter-in-law (granddaughter-in-law) pays her respects to you!" Of course, how to address them will vary according to the identity and seniority of the ancestors. 6. When a new bride or a newborn baby goes to visit the graves, they must not wear plain clothes, but must wear festive clothes, at least a red dress and an ornament. One is to announce the good news, so that the ancestors can see the family has grown and added members; the other is to ward off evil spirits, so as not to be harmed by the surrounding wandering ghosts. It is these festive colors that add a different meaning to the tomb-sweeping ceremony on Qingming Festival, and also symbolize the continuation of life and the inheritance of incense. 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."
