What are the important taboos during Qingming Festival? Everything you want to know is here!
Qingming Festival is a solemn and formal festival in China. Therefore, during the long period of inheriting and promoting traditional culture, various taboos have gradually formed during the Qingming Festival. The beautiful spring has arrived, flowers are blooming, birds are singing, all things are beginning to wake up, and there is a vibrant scene everywhere. The Fortune Teller website takes you to experience the second month of the lunar calendar in 2018!Don’t wear bright red or purple clothesTomb sweeping is a solemn and serious matter. It is better to wear dark and formal clothing, and avoid wearing bright red or purple.Pay attention to the time of tomb sweepingDuring the Qingming Festival, everyone will decide the time for tomb sweeping according to their own schedule. Here I would like to remind everyone that it is best to complete the tomb sweeping and worship before 3 pm, because after 3 pm the yang energy weakens and the yin energy becomes heavier.The grass on the grave must be trimmedAny plants growing on graves must be removed. This is the most important point. You should know that tomb sweeping requires you to clean up things that are not good for the cemetery. The grass and trees on the grave will cause harm to family members, including luck and health, which are greatly unfavorable.No photography is allowed in the cemeteryThe purpose of tomb sweeping is to worship ancestors, not for fun. There are gods above us, so it is best to be respectful, focused and cautious. Never take photos at a cemetery, or even take photos casually, otherwise you will attract bad aura, which may cause an imbalance of yin and yang, and damage your personal fortune.Pregnant women should avoid visiting gravesIt is best for pregnant women to avoid tomb sweeping activities during the Qingming Festival, not just because of the heavy yin energy. From another perspective, the Qingming Festival is very crowded. For the safety of the fetus, pregnant women are not recommended to participate. Moreover, the weather and surrounding environment for tomb sweeping are not good for the health of pregnant women. In addition, women who are menstruating should also avoid such activities.Avoid playingTaking children to visit the graves may seem solemn at first, but children are mischievous by nature and will soon start playing and fighting. Such behavior must be stopped in time, as playing and fighting in a cemetery is extremely disrespectful. |
