Qingming Festival is a festival for visiting tombs and honoring the dead. So what are the customs and taboos of visiting tombs on Qingming Festival? According to folk custom, is it okay to visit the grave three days before or after? The climate in the third month of the lunar calendar is warm and moderate, and all things begin to grow new life. Shuimoxiansheng.com lists for you the festivals and solar terms in March of the lunar calendar in 2019!What are the customs and taboos of visiting graves during Qingming Festival?1. 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. Is it okay to visit the graves three days before and three days after Qingming Festival in 2019?In terms of time, there is a saying in our local area that "three at the beginning and four at the end". In other words, it is possible to visit the graves three days before or four days after Qingming Festival. In fact, this statement is incorrect. It is an excuse made by people who are busy with work and career.Legend has it that a meeting is held in the underworld during the Qingming Festival, and people without descendants cannot attend. Those who attend the conference must hold the flags given by their descendants to enter. Therefore, when people visit their ancestors’ graves during the Qingming Festival, they place paper flags on the graves of their deceased ancestors. Therefore, the time to visit the graves on Qingming Festival should be on the day of Qingming Festival, and not before or after Qingming Festival. 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."
