Is it unlucky for children to cry at graves during Qingming Festival?

Children under the age of 7 are forbidden to visit graves, as it is said that children's eyes are blurry and they can see bad things. In addition, the environment of the cemetery is poor, children are prone to illness and are more easily frightened. Children are prone to crying and making noises, which can easily frighten the ancestors, and is also disrespectful to the deceased around the cemetery.
The cemetery is the home of the Yin spirits. Do not laugh, yell, use foul language, run around, fight, or urinate anywhere. If you come across other graves on the way, do not step on or kick the tombstones. Do not move other tombstones or sacrificial items. If you do bump into them, you should sincerely say "Sorry, I'm sorry to bother you" and stay cautious in the cemetery. Control your emotions and attitude so as not to disturb and offend other Yin spirits.

What does it mean when children cry during Qingming Festival?

If children in rural areas cry at night or during the Qingming Festival and cannot sleep well, they have to find a skilled craftsman to take back the fright (in local dialect, it means to take back the fright that has been given out and the child will become normal again). In fact, it is normal for children to cry, but it is not appropriate to cry when sweeping tombs and worshiping ancestors. Firstly, people are afraid that they have seen something unclean, and secondly, it will disturb the ancestors and gods in the cemetery, so it is not auspicious. If they cry at home or have a reason, then it doesn’t matter.

Is it okay to visit the graves three days before or three days after Qingming Festival?

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."
