There is nothing good or bad about it. The best thing is to ask monks in the temple to pray for the deceased, hoping that the deceased can rest in peace.What to do during the Spring Festival after a loved one passes away1. Rules for bringing the deceased home On New Year’s Eve, the family should bring the fruits, dishes, meals and other offerings that the deceased elders liked to eat to the cemetery to pay tribute to the deceased elders, light incense and candles, and set off firecrackers. Inform the deceased elders that the New Year has arrived and invite them to come home to celebrate the New Year. Since it is the first year of the New Year, there is a fear that the deceased elders may not know the way home, so they should be led home to celebrate the New Year and have a reunion dinner as a family. 2. Sacrifices are different. The dyed jujube buns in the past are now replaced with smooth buns similar to steamed buns. The dishes offered as sacrifices used to have vermicelli dyed red, but now they cannot be dyed red. You can't use red chopsticks either. 3. Do not go out to pay New Year’s greetings or visit relatives. People in rural areas are more particular about this. Some people believe that it is unlucky to meet someone in heavy mourning on a happy day. Also, do not visit neighbors to pay New Year’s greetings, let alone visit relatives. Especially if there are sick elderly people in other people’s families, do not go to visit those in heavy mourning. Some people are very concerned about this. 4. New ancestors cannot be included in the family tree. A tablet with the names of the deceased parents must be placed in front of the family tree. The tablet can only be removed and added to the family tree after both parents have passed away and three years have passed since the last one. |
