What should we pay attention to when worshipping ancestors during the Qingming Festival in 2019?

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.

What are the customs for worshiping ancestors during Qingming Festival?

1. The time for tomb sweeping should be chosen when the Yang energy is strong. Before dawn or in the evening is not favorable for tomb sweeping, so tomb sweeping should be avoided as much as possible. Between 10 a.m. and 3 p.m. is usually the best time for tomb sweeping.
2. Cleaning the cemetery: When facing the cemetery of ancestors, you need to clean up the weeds, add loose soil, and tidy up the surrounding environment to make the cemetery look full and tidy. At the same time, pray silently in your heart, place your hopes in the underworld, and pray that the ancestors will keep the descendants rich and prosperous.
3. Eat vegetarian food and abstain from meat. From the morning of the day of tomb sweeping until you arrive at the tomb sweeping site, try to eat vegetarian food and dress neatly and simply to show courtesy and respect to the ancestors.
4. Avoid wearing bright red clothes. You cannot wear bright red clothes to visit the graves on Qingming Festival. Of course, it is an exception during your zodiac year. You can wear red underwear. 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."
