Is there any difference between sons and daughters visiting graves during Qingming Festival?

——There is a difference
In some areas of our country, it is still believed that there is a certain difference between sons and daughters visiting the graves on Qingming Festival. Because of feudal superstition, it is believed that daughters will get married and take their husband's surname, and are no longer members of their own family. If a daughter is allowed to visit the grave, the ancestors will think that the family has no descendants and will also be ridiculed by the neighbors.
——No difference
As people develop with the times, many of my friends feel that whether it is a son or a daughter, they are all the same and they are all their own children, so there is no saying or custom that daughters cannot be allowed to visit the graves. In addition, many people now have only children, so if daughters are not allowed to visit the graves, then no one will visit the graves.

Who should burn incense at the graves during the Qingming Festival?

Who should burn incense during the Qingming Festival depends mainly on local customs. In some areas, it is believed that sons should burn incense, while in other areas, it is believed that both sons and daughters can do the burning.
Customs vary from region to region, so it is recommended that you follow local customs and practices.

Do children and children press paper in the same way during the Qingming Festival?

The suggestion depends on the local area. If there are no too many requirements, it can be done whether it is a daughter or a son.
Reasons for pressing paper: Pressing paper on the tomb can clearly indicate that the family's tomb is visited by descendants and is not an unattended isolated tomb, thus preventing destruction by others. On the other hand, people believe that having grave paper can prevent their ancestors from being ridiculed or bullied by neighboring ghosts.
Before hanging paper, you must first remove the branches and weeds on the tomb, then fold two or three pieces of tomb paper into a wavy shape, and then use small stones to press them on the tomb head, tombstone, and the "Hou Tu" (the land god) beside the tomb. In some areas, people press grave paper directly into the soil regardless of the quantity and orientation. Hanging paper can symbolize the new tiles that descendants add to their ancestors' residence every year, or it can serve a purpose of identification.
