What are the customs for visiting graves before the Spring Equinox?
1. Necessary offerings. Incense, paper money, fruits, snacks, and vegetarian wine.
2. It is best to do it between 9 am and 3 pm. Don't go to the cemetery too early or too late. On the first day of October, the sun rises later and sets earlier. The period from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. is the time of the day when the Yang energy is relatively strong, which will strengthen your own Yang energy.
3. It’s best to wear some red. Before going to the cemetery, it is best to prepare some clothing, such as wearing red underwear, red socks, or a red hat. The nebulous energy in cemeteries is heavy, especially on days like October 1st, when it is even heavier. According to the belief that red can ward off evil spirits, wearing red on your body can help keep you safe.
4. People with weak bodies should wear amulets. People with weak physique should not go to the cemetery alone. It is best to ask someone with strong physique to accompany them. Especially if joint burial or relocation of graves is required, it is best to take some protective measures in advance.
5. Perform the ceremony piously and make it known first. Kneel down, burn incense, burn paper money, perform grand worship, and tell the ancestors that it is not because they are unfilial descendants and are disturbing the bodies, but because of certain reasons, they have to disturb the ancestors, and they sincerely ask for their understanding and blessings for future generations. In other words, tell the ancestors what you are going to do at the grave and why you are doing it, and hope that the ancestors will bless you and that everything will go smoothly and peacefully. For example, some graves need to be rested due to collapse or water intrusion, some need to be relocated for various reasons, and some need to be buried together. In either case, a ceremony should be held before breaking ground to apologize to the ancestors for disturbing their rest.
