Can I visit the graves during the Chinese New Year?

You can visit the graves on the Little New Year.
We worship our ancestors on Qingming Festival, celebrate the Ghost Festival on July 15th, and "welcome our ancestors" on the Little New Year. In some places, it is the custom to visit the tombs before the Little New Year, and not to celebrate the Little New Year after the Little New Year. Our local tradition is to visit the tombs and worship our ancestors. It happened that the weather was very dry and windy at that time. I heard that many places had mountains burned by fire, and the area was large and the situation was very serious. I hope everyone can worship their ancestors in a civilized manner by using a bouquet of flowers instead of burning paper money. This is civilized, environmentally friendly and safe.

What are the things to pay attention to when visiting graves during the Little New Year?

Necessary offerings <br /> Incense, candles, paper money, fruits, snacks, vegetarian wine.
It is best to go to the cemetery between 9 am and 3 pm, not 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.
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.
