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.
