Can we repair graves during the Qingming Festival in 2018? What are the taboos during tomb sweeping during Qingming Festival?
Qingming Festival is the day when many people visit graves to pay homage to their ancestors. If some graves have fallen into disrepair over the years, they will inevitably need a little tidying up. Therefore, many people are concerned about whether the graves can be repaired on Qingming Day. Winter has gone and spring has come. February in the lunar calendar has already entered spring. The Fortune Teller website provides you with more detailed information about February in the lunar calendar of 2018!Can we repair graves during the Qingming Festival in 2018?It is okay to repair graves during the Qingming Festival, as it is part of the culture of the day; however, there are still some things to note:First: It is generally required to take soil from graves one hundred steps away during the Qingming Festival. Be careful not to dig too deep as this will damage the ground veins. If you find subsidence or cracks around the grave, you must repair them to avoid disasters. Second: Some people will move graves during the Qingming Festival. You must remember that any new grave that has been buried for less than one year cannot be moved. If the burial is moved within a year, someone in the family may die. Third: It is very important to erect a monument and set the direction. All tombs have an orientation, so a monument is erected in front of the tomb to indicate its orientation. If no monument is erected, future generations will easily not know the location and orientation of the tomb, causing inconsistency. If the new tomb is inconsistent with the ancestral tomb, it is called betraying the ancestors and losing the bloodline. It means that the descendants will be unfilial, encounter many difficulties, leave their hometown, or the population will gradually decrease. (Of course, this is a point discussed in ancient books, so don’t be too obsessed with it) The best time to visit the graves during Qingming FestivalThe dates for tomb sweeping vary from place to place. Some are ten days before and ten days after Qingming Festival; some are called "three before and three after"; some are held on "odd" days around Qingming Festival; in some places, tomb sweeping activities can last as long as a month. Therefore, it is not the best day to visit the graves on Qingming Festival.Also, according to some customs, there are some differences in the time for visiting the graves of relatives who have passed away within a year and those who have passed away more than a year ago. Friends, please note that the time for tomb sweeping should be based on local customs. |
