Please follow Mr. Shui Mo to learn about Zhongyuan Ghost Festival.What should you pay attention to when visiting graves and paying homage to your ancestors during the Ghost Festival?Things to note when visiting graves1. Wearing black clothes to show solemnity when visiting the graves is appropriate. Wearing bright red or bright green clothes is not appropriate. Plain clothes are more appropriate.2. People with weak destiny should not go to the cemetery alone. It is best to ask someone with strong destiny 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. 3. Perform the ceremony piously and inform the ancestors. Kneel down, burn incense, burn paper money, perform grand worship, and tell the ancestors that it is not because they are unfilial descendants and are disturbing the bodies, but because of certain reasons, they have to disturb the ancestors, and they sincerely ask for their understanding and blessings for 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. 4. After coming back from tomb sweeping, most people feel a little tired. At this time, they should take a shower and change clothes. According to ancient customs, one must step over a fire basin before entering the house. The ancients believed that this could drive away negative energy. What should we pay attention to during the Ghost Festival?Ghost Festival taboos 1. Drying clothes at night. It is best not to hang clothes outside on the night of Ghost Festival, because when the ghost brothers think your clothes are nice, they will borrow them to wear and leave their scent on the clothes. Ghost Festival taboo 2. Shouting names: If you have to be outside on the night of Ghost Festival, be careful. Do not call out names when out at night. Try to use code names to avoid being remembered by the ghost brothers. Ghost Festival taboo 3: Swimming. It is taboo to go into the water on Ghost Festival. At this time, the ghost brothers will play the game of ghost lifting feet with you. If you are not careful, your life will be lifted up. Ghost Festival taboo 4. Staying up late. Human energy is weakest late at night, and ghost energy is strongest late at night, too, especially on the day of the Ghost Festival. Ghost Festival taboo 5. Leaning against the wall. Ghost brothers usually like to rest on the cold wall, which can easily attract ghosts to possess them. Ghost Festival taboo 6. Picking up money on the roadside. This money is used to bribe the Ox-Head and Horse-Face Demons. If you encroach on their things, you will easily be taught a lesson by them. Ghost Festival taboo 7. Looking back easily. When you are walking in the wilderness or sparsely populated areas on this day, if you feel someone calling you, do not look back easily, because it may be a ghost brother. Ghost Festival taboo 8. Do not hang out with others anywhere. There are three fires on people's bodies, one on the head and one on each shoulder. If you extinguish one of them, you will be easily possessed by ghosts. Ghost Festival taboo 9. The toes of your slippers are facing the bed. The ghost brothers will look at the direction of the toes of your slippers to determine where you are. If the toes of your slippers are facing the head of the bed, then the ghost brothers will go to bed and sleep with you. Ghost Festival taboo 10. Sticking chopsticks in the center of rice is a form of worship, just like sticking incense in an incense burner. This will only attract ghost brothers to share food with you, which is especially taboo on this day.Summary: Through the above article, we know what to pay attention to when visiting graves and worshipping ancestors on the Ghost Festival?
