Everyone knows about tomb sweeping during the Qingming Festival, but did you know that tomb sweeping is also practiced during the Winter Solstice? The Winter Solstice is also one of the important festivals in my country. Do we visit graves during the winter solstice? What are the taboos for tomb sweeping during the winter solstice? The eleventh month of the lunar calendar is the first month of winter every year, which means the arrival of winter. Come to Mr. Shui Mo's website to learn about the relevant content of the eleventh month of the lunar calendar in 2018!Do we visit graves during the winter solstice?Tomb sweeping is a way to express grief and remember the deceased. There aren't too many time constraints. Moreover, the winter solstice is the festival when yang returns and everything is renewed. Just like life, birth is the beginning of death, death is the beginning of life, and the cycle continues. So don't worry about time.However, it is recommended that you do not go to the cemetery too early or too late. During the winter solstice, the sun rises later and sets earlier. The period from 9:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. is the time of the day when the Yang energy is relatively strong, which will strengthen one's own Yang energy. It is best for women not to visit the graves during their menstrual period. Even if there is no taboo, they should not overwork themselves. Taboos of tomb sweeping during the winter solstice:1. Since it is a ceremony to worship ancestors, it is inevitable that you will go to places that few people go to. It is best to walk along the usual routes and avoid going to remote places. Firstly, it is a safety issue, and secondly, it is easy to attract evil spirits.2. Be respectful to the graves you encounter while walking or standing, and do not touch the tombstones with your feet. Be serious and solemn in such places, and do not touch or occupy other adjacent tombstones at will. 3. The ancestral cemetery must be cleaned of weeds, loose soil must be added, debris in front of the tomb must be cleared, and the tombstone must be cleaned. You can pray silently in your heart, hoping that the ancestors in the netherworld will bless the next generations with wealth and prosperity. 4. The best time to visit the graves is when the Yang energy is stronger. You should not sweep the tomb before dawn or just after dawn, in the evening or when the sun is about to set, because the immune system is the weakest at this time, which is not good for the tomb sweeper. Generally, it is best to sweep the tomb between 10 am and 3 pm. 5. If the person who goes to sweep the tomb is weak, sick, or has a black forehead, it means that his luck is bad. It is best not to go to sweep the tomb. If you must go, you can wear amulets such as jade or jade Buddha with you. 6. The route for tomb sweeping is very particular. It is best not to repeat the route to tomb sweeping and the route back. Do not go back. Do not look back when you leave after tomb sweeping. 7. After completing the tomb sweeping, most people will feel a little weak and fatigued. It is recommended that you go for a walk in crowded places such as shopping malls before going home to absorb some popularity and yang energy, or take a bath in a public bathroom to remove the yin and evil spirits from your body. It is best to step over the brazier before entering the house. Make a fire out of yellow straw paper and step over it one by one. 8. Pregnant women and women who are menstruating should not go to sweep the tombs. Mental patients with serious mental illnesses who have not fully recovered, and children under 7 years old with weak yang energy are also advised not to go. Patients with other serious diseases should also not go to sweep the tombs. 9. The cemetery is the abode of the ghosts. When sweeping the tombs, one must not step over the tombs and offerings, make loud noises, laugh, swear, use foul language, run around, or urinate anywhere. Doing so is not only disrespectful to one's ancestors, but also constitutes a nuisance to nearby spirits. You are not allowed to trample on other people's graves or comment on the design of other people's tombs. This will be regarded as blasphemy. If you encounter bad aura, you will be in trouble when you return home. 10. When visiting graves on the Winter Solstice, seniority must be respected and the order of worship must be followed. The order is: father, mother, eldest son, eldest daughter, second son, second daughter... and so on. After the worship is completed, the offerings are blessed by the ancestors and then everyone can eat them. Finally, of course, you must pay attention to fire safety and wait until all the incense and candles are lit before leaving. |
