After placing offerings to the land god who looks after graves, burn a piece of yellow paper. This custom is called "worshiping the land god" or "offering offerings to the "grave god". It is used to thank him for guarding the tomb all year round and protecting the ancestors from harm. 3. When the incense stick is half burned, burn the paper money and clothes prepared in advance on the graves of ancestors. A small amount of money and belongings are left and burned on other graves, for fear that other ghosts will go to the graves of ancestors and steal money and clothes after the people who visit the graves leave. 4.
