Can I visit the graves in advance during the Ghost Festival?It is not allowed to visit graves and burn incense and paper money in advance during the Ghost Festival.Reason: The Ghost Festival is on July 15th, and in some places it is on July 14th. On this day, the underworld will release all ghosts and allow them to return to the world of the living to reunite with their relatives. Therefore, people generally carry out activities to worship ghosts on this day, such as visiting graves, burning incense, and burning paper. If you burn paper, burn incense, or visit graves in advance, the ghosts of your relatives have not yet returned to the world of the living, and will not be able to receive your kindness. Therefore, as a general rule, you should not visit graves, burn incense, or burn paper in advance on the Ghost Festival. |
