Feng Shui considerations for tomb sweeping

1. It is best not to go to remote places. Since it is a ceremony to worship ancestors, it is inevitable that you will go to places that few people go to. It is best to walk along the usual routes. Remember not to go for an outing in remote places. This is also for your own personal safety.
2. Be sincere when offering sacrifices to ancestors and visiting graves. Don't laugh or joke around. Be respectful to the graves you pass by or encounter when standing. Don't touch the tombstones with your feet. It is better to have a serious and solemn attitude in such places.
3. When facing the graves of ancestors, the first thing to do is to clean up the weeds, add some loose soil, and tidy up the entire cemetery to make it look brand new.
4. The best time to sweep tombs is when there is plenty of sunshine. You cannot sweep tombs at dawn or before dawn because the human body's resistance is the weakest at this time, which is not conducive to sweeping tombs. The most suitable time to sweep tombs is from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m.
5. If you are weak or sick, it is best not to go. If you must go, it is better to wear amulets such as jade or jade Buddha with you.
