What is the saying about visiting ancestors’ graves on New Year’s Day?
The custom of visiting ancestors' graves on New Year's Day is prevalent in all areas inhabited by the Han Chinese, but is more concentrated in Sichuan, Guizhou, Yunnan and other places.
There is a difference between visiting graves on New Year’s Day and worshiping ancestors on Qingming Festival. A more precise way of saying it is “inviting ancestors to celebrate the New Year together.” In some areas where this custom is relatively well preserved, on the afternoon of New Year's Eve, people bring incense, candles and offerings to the ancestral graves to respectfully invite their ancestors to return home for the New Year. Then, on the first day of the New Year, people would bring offerings, money and paper and send their ancestors back to the cemetery to pay homage and bid farewell. The meaning is that during the most festive holiday of the year, we should not forget the kindness of our ancestors and spend the holiday together. Therefore, people in some areas call visiting graves on New Year's Day "worshiping ancestors", and tomb sweeping on Qingming Festival is called "visiting graves".
What should we pay attention to when visiting graves during the Spring Festival?
1. Necessary offerings <br /> Incense, candles, paper money, fruits, snacks, and vegetarian wine.
2. It is best to do it between 9 am and 3 pm <br /> 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 is best to wear something red <br /> Before going to the cemetery, it is best to be prepared in terms of clothing, such as wearing red underwear, red socks, or a red hat.
4. People with weak constitutions should wear amulets <br /> People with weak constitutions should not go to the cemetery alone. It is best to ask someone with strong constitutions to accompany them. Especially if joint burial or relocation of graves is required, it is best to take some protective measures in advance.
5. Be serious when burning paper <br /> When burning paper, you should have a serious expression, do not laugh or play, and insist on watching the paper burn out before you leave. This can prevent fire and prevent the wind from blowing the paper out and being picked up by other passers-by, which would upset the elderly.
