Is the first month of the lunar year suitable for visiting graves?

Because customs vary from place to place, tomb sweeping is allowed in some places but not in others. The key depends on the customs of the place where you live. However, in general, tomb sweeping is done before the New Year. The period from New Year's Eve to the Lantern Festival is all considered the Chinese New Year, and tomb sweeping is generally not done. It is recommended that you visit the graves before or after the New Year.

What should you pay attention to when visiting graves?

1. The color of clothes for tomb sweeping is also very particular. Avoid wearing bright red. Plain colors should be used as the main color. Generally, people wear dark clothes and dress neatly when visiting the graves. This is a sign of respect for the deceased and courtesy to ancestors. 2. Do not laugh, yell, make loud noises, or run around when visiting the graves, because the cemetery is the home of the spirits, and doing so would be extremely disrespectful to the ancestors. 3. It is best not to take photos at the cemetery of your ancestors, whether you are taking photos of people visiting the tomb or taking photos of the cemetery. It is even more taboo to include other graves in the photo, as this is very unlucky. 4. After visiting the graves, do not go home directly. You can stay outside for a while, such as going to the store to buy something, having a meal, etc. This way you can avoid bringing "unclean" things into the house. 5. Many people like to bring flowers when visiting graves, and chrysanthemums are the most suitable flowers. Chrysanthemums symbolize longing and remembrance, and white chrysanthemums are the best. They can also be paired with some green grass, which is both beautiful and expresses your feelings.
