Can we visit the graves on New Year’s Eve?

It is possible to visit graves on the Little New Year. The Little New Year's Eve is also commonly called the Kitchen God Festival, which is determined by the lunar calendar date. Generally speaking, the Little New Year in the north falls on the 23rd day of the twelfth lunar month, while in the south it falls on the 24th day of the twelfth lunar month. We celebrate the Little New Year on the 23rd day of the 12th lunar month. Our local tradition is to visit the graves and worship our ancestors. But the weather was extremely dry and windy. I heard that many mountains were burned by fire, covering a large area and the damage was very serious. I hope everyone can worship their ancestors in a civilized manner by using a bouquet of flowers instead of burning paper money. This is civilized, environmentally friendly and safe.

What should we pay attention to when visiting graves on New Year’s Eve?

1. It is best to carry some red with you. Before going to the cemetery, it is best to prepare some clothes, such as red underwear, red socks, or a red hat. 2. Don’t go to the cemetery too early or too late. The period from 9:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. is the time of the day when Yang energy is relatively strong, which will strengthen one's own Yang energy. 3. Kneel down, burn incense, burn paper money, perform grand worship, and tell the ancestors that it is not because you are unfilial and want to disturb their bodies, but because of certain reasons, you have to disturb the ancestors. Please 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.

What are the taboos on New Year’s Eve?

1. According to legend, in some areas of Hubei, people are forbidden to slaughter animals on the day of the Little New Year. 2. In some places in Henan, people are taboo about pounding garlic, believing that pounding garlic during the Little New Year will make the family poor. 3. In Taiwan, people avoid pounding rice.
