Can children visit graves during Qingming Festival?

Children under three years old are not allowed to visit graves during the Qingming Festival. Qingming Festival is a festival for worshiping ancestors and deceased relatives. Many parents will bring their children to worship their ancestors to express their longing and remembrance of their deceased relatives. But in fact, whether from a numerology perspective or a scientific perspective, children under the age of three are not allowed to visit the graves. In addition, it also depends on the child’s physical condition and various conditions of the cemetery. All should be taken into consideration. Therefore, parents need to consider many factors when taking their children to visit graves during the Qingming Festival.

What should you pay attention to when sweeping tombs during Qingming Festival?

1. The normal order cannot be reversed. Tomb sweeping and sacrifice have a certain order, and many elderly people will pay close attention to this. Normally the cemetery or graveyard is cleaned first and then the sacrifices are offered. Since sacrifices are very particular about feng shui and etiquette, the order of sacrifices should be as accurate as possible. The order is as follows: repair the tomb - burn incense - offer meat - toast - worship - farewell.
2. The best time to pay homage to the ancestors is Yinshi, which is 5-7 o'clock. However, since most cemeteries are far away from where people live, or even outside the cities where people live and work, it is usually not that early, but it is best to complete the tomb sweeping and worship before 3 pm.
3. Pregnant women should not worship the dead. Generally speaking, pregnant women should avoid tomb sweeping activities during the Qingming Festival. In addition to emphasizing customs, long-distance travel is actually not suitable for both women and fetuses. I believe that if there are elderly elders in the family, most of them will prevent pregnant women from paying homage to their ancestors during the Qingming Festival.
4. Buy white chrysanthemums to mourn the deceased. In ancient my country, chrysanthemums were regarded as flowers of sustenance, representing thoughts and memories. White chrysanthemums are the most suitable, and they can also be matched with some green grass, such as lilies, green leaves, carnations, etc., which will be more beautiful. However, yellow chrysanthemums are known as longevity chrysanthemums and are more suitable for visiting patients rather than paying homage to the deceased.
