What should we pay attention to during the Qingming Festival?

Worship with sincerity and do it yourself <br /> If you want to worship with sincerity, you should go to the cemetery in person to worship. For various reasons, those who cannot go home to worship and sweep the graves can also worship their ancestors at home. The method is to place food for worship on the balcony or in the living room towards the direction of your hometown, burn three incense sticks, bow three times, and silently recite relevant words. Then, paper money is burned as a sacrifice.
Keep your body and mind clean <br /> When you start to visit the graves, it is best not to eat food or eat vegetarian food on that day. Your clothes should be neat and clean to show your courtesy and respect to your ancestors. If you go to see your ancestors with bad luck and bad luck, it is not only disrespectful to them, but you will often be scolded by them. It can also easily lead to the possession of negative energy. Therefore, the ancients would burn incense and bathe before offering sacrifices. For women, it is best not to participate in such activities during menstruation, especially not to participate in Qingming mountain-worshiping activities after 3 pm. Pregnant women are also advised to avoid the Qingming Mountain Visiting activities, because pregnant women’s physical fitness is not very good and they are easily infected by the cold and yin energy.
Worship the Mountain God and the Land God<br /> In addition to placing the incense, flowers, fruits, paper money, food and wine, and the food that the deceased liked to eat (the amount of the sacrificial gifts is optional) in front of the tomb, you also need to light some incense and offer it to the Mountain God and the Land God who look after the cemetery, because the Mountain God and the Land God are the guardian gods of the cemetery. After that, people will kowtow to the ancestors respectfully, burn incense and offer flowers, then burn paper money and pour wine (i.e. pour wine on the ground, which represents a toast to the ancestors). After the ceremony, they can have a meal and drink, and leave after the incense and candles are all lit.
Prioritize ancestors by generation <br /> The order of worship is: grandfather, grandmother, then father, mother and the next generation. After the worship is completed, the offerings are blessed by the ancestors and then everyone can eat them. Finally, of course, you must pay attention to fire safety and you can leave after all the incense and candles are lit.
Wear plain clothes <br /> During the Qingming Festival, avoid wearing bright red or purple clothes. Wear plain clothes instead. In addition, do not wear red accessories (except for those in your zodiac year).
