Why do we fill the grave with soil when we visit it?Every year during the Qingming Festival, people would go to the graves to pay their respects with paper and incense. By the way, take a shovel and a sickle to first clear the weeds on the grave and on both sides of the grave, then fill in the small ditches washed by rain water with soil, and then sprinkle a layer of new soil on the surface of all the graves.The reason for filling the soil is that the soil on the grave has become slightly shorter and more withered than before due to erosion by wind and rain over a long period of time. Some graves have even been hollowed out by small animals and collapsed. The defects must be filled and a tall grave must be replanted, which also shows that the ancestors' reputation is fully capable of protecting their descendants. Since ancient times, people have wanted their houses to be as big, spacious and bright as possible, so the sunken graves are filled up again, just like the living people who repair their old and damaged houses. The only day to break ground is the Qingming Festival. You cannot disturb your loved ones at other times. In rural areas, people visit graves on Qingming Festival, hang up paper money and remember their loved ones. Most burials in rural areas are done in the ground. Over time, the coffins will rot and the originally large grave mound will shrink. Tomb sweeping not only involves sweeping the front of the tomb, but also the body of the tomb, and clearing away any weeds. This process may cause the grave to have bumps and potholes, which is unsightly. At this time, we should add some soil and make the grave flat, right? The body of a grave is usually made of earth, and is basically protruding, like a bun. In the wild, exposed to wind, rain and sun for a long time, isn't it easy to cause soil erosion? Of course, if there is no proper addition of soil, it will definitely get lower year by year. Nowadays, there is no need to be so troublesome. They are all cemeteries, with reinforced concrete and base engravings. There is no soil erosion. People sweep the tombs just to clean them a little bit, let the souls of their ancestors rest in peace, and bring more blessings to their descendants. That's all. What should we pay attention to when filling soil during Qingming Festival?The thickness should be enough to cover the old soil, but not too thick. Be careful not to take soil from the front or back of the grave, but from both sides of the grave, preferably a little further away from the grave.No matter how far or near the grave, the dug area must be filled in to avoid making it look uncomfortable. After spreading the soil on the grave, do not hit it with a shovel. Hitting it hard is disrespectful to your relatives. Use a shovel to slowly smooth the soil. When filling the soil, you must be careful not to take soil from the front or behind the tombstone, including the northwest direction, and you must not overturn the iron and place it on the grave. Otherwise, it would be a great disrespect to the ancestors and an expression of unfilial piety towards deceased relatives.
