The Fortune Teller website provides you with more information related to the first month of the lunar calendar in 2018. You are welcome to learn more about it!Can we visit graves before or after the Waking of Insects?You can visit the graves before and after the Waking of Insects. During the Jingzhe Festival, there is a custom of tomb sweeping in some parts of my country.March 5th is the Jingzhe Festival in the twenty-four solar terms, and there is still one month before Qingming Festival. However, in Tanghu Town, Suichuan County, Jiangxi Province, you can see couples visiting the graves. Logically speaking, tomb-sweeping on Qingming Festival is the time for the Chinese nation to commemorate their ancestors, so why are people doing tomb-sweeping so early? It turns out that during the Jingzhe solar term, the climate warms up and all things revive, especially small animals that have hibernated, such as centipedes. Plants begin to bloom and grow leaves, and tea leaves also begin to sprout, entering the picking season. The tea industry has long admired the idea of pre-Qingming tea. The tea produced before and after the Qingming Festival is clearly differentiated, not only in texture and taste, but also in price. The hardworking, busy and smart people in the tea-growing area came up with a way to pay tribute to their ancestors while avoiding the peak season for tea picking and ensuring a year-round livelihood for the whole family. This gradually formed the unique landscape of tomb sweeping before and after the Waking of Insects. Many old tea lovers told me that it has been around since they can remember, and it was probably passed down from their ancestors. What are the taboos about tomb sweeping before and after the Jingzhe period?Necessary offerings <br /> Incense, candles, paper money, fruits, snacks, vegetarian wine.It is best to do it between 9 am and 3 pm <br /> Don’t go to the cemetery too early or too late. On the first day of October, the sun rises later and sets earlier. The period from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. is the time of the day when the Yang energy is relatively strong, which will strengthen your own Yang energy. It is best to wear something red <br /> Before going to the cemetery, it is best to be prepared in terms of clothing, such as wearing red underwear, red socks, or a red hat. The nebulous energy in cemeteries is heavy, especially on days like October 1st, when it is even heavier. According to the belief that red can ward off evil spirits, wearing red on your body can help keep you safe. People with weak constitutions should wear amulets <br /> People with weak constitutions should not go to the cemetery alone, and it is best to ask someone with strong constitutions to accompany them. Especially if joint burial or relocation of graves is required, it is best to take some protective measures in advance. If conditions permit, you can ask other people to pick up the bones of your ancestors from the tomb on your behalf to reduce the time you spend in the tomb. Wearing amulets drawn by professionals can enhance one's own yang energy and protect oneself from the yin energy of the cemetery. Perform devout rituals to inform the ancestors <br /> Kneel down, burn incense, burn paper money, perform grand rituals to worship, and tell the ancestors that it is not because the descendants are unfilial and disturb the bodies, but because of certain reasons, they have to disturb the ancestors, and beg the ancestors to understand and bless the future generations. In other words, tell the ancestors what you are going to do at the grave and why you are doing it, and hope that the ancestors will bless you and that everything will go smoothly and peacefully. For example, some graves need to be rested due to collapse or water intrusion, some need to be relocated for various reasons, and some need to be buried together. In either case, a ceremony should be held before breaking ground to apologize to the ancestors for disturbing their rest.
