What should we pay attention to when visiting graves during Qingming Festival? What are the taboos during tomb sweeping during Qingming Festival?
Introduction: Qingming Festival is one of the three major ghost festivals in my country. As a ghost festival, the Qingming Festival mainly worships ancestors and deceased relatives, expressing the worshiper's filial piety and longing for the dead. So, what should we pay attention to when visiting graves on Qingming Festival? What are the taboos during tomb sweeping during Qingming Festival? Let’s find out together! Mr. Shui Mo will tell you how beautiful every day in the third month of the lunar calendar is, and how touching every day in March is, because the drizzle in March brings you poetic longing.What are the taboos during tomb sweeping on Qingming Festival?1. Tomb-sweeping Day is a time when families and relatives usually go together and they must be harmonious. This has two advantages. First, due to the distance between relatives and work reasons, they seldom see each other several times a year. It is a good opportunity to use this time period to get together, enhance feelings and get closer. Secondly, our deceased relatives who are buried in the ground would be very pleased to see their descendants come to visit their graves in a lively and harmonious manner. This will be more conducive to the prosperity of the family and also more beneficial to the luck of the people in our family.2. When sweeping the tombs, you should wear solemn clothes and accessories, preferably dark colors. A family should try their best to help the elderly and children, show more respect to the elderly, explain to the children how to be filial and respectful to the elderly, and the adults should try their best to teach by words and deeds. In fact, sweeping the tombs on Qingming Festival is the best time to remember the ancestors and educate the future generations. As descendants of the dragon of our Chinese nation, don't miss this great opportunity. 3. People who are not suitable for tomb sweeping Generally speaking, elderly people with limited mobility, people with serious illnesses, pregnant women and children under three years old are not suitable for visiting cemeteries. This is mainly because cemeteries are often on the mountains, and people with poor health are not able to move around. In addition, during the Qingming Festival, the yang energy is often insufficient, and pregnant women and children are more susceptible to the evil energy in the cemeteries. Therefore, for these reasons, it is generally not recommended for the above groups of people to go to worship. 4. General procedures for tomb sweeping during Qingming Festival 1. When you arrive at the cemetery, you must first clean and tidy up the tomb. First, clear the weeds on the grave, then add soil to make the grave clean. If there is a tombstone, you can wash it with clean water, clear the surrounding weeds, and clean the cemetery. The cemetery is the house of our deceased ancestors. In fact, we, the descendants, repair the house for our ancestors, clean it up, and let our ancestors rest here cleanly and without worries. What kind of flowers are better to buy for tomb sweeping during Qingming Festival?Generally speaking, white flowers represent mourning, and it is more appropriate to choose white chrysanthemums, white lilies, calla lilies, etc. for tomb sweeping, while white roses, gardenias or other plain flowers symbolize regret and remembrance. Some people also prefer simple and tough plants such as philadelphus, gladiolus, and sedge. In addition, yellow flowers can also express mourning, among which yellow chrysanthemum is the most commonly used.The flowers offered during tomb-sweeping day are mainly to express remembrance of the deceased. In fact, there is no need to deliberately pursue the meaning of the flowers, as it is enough to convey grief. Flowers are usually tied into bouquets with the overall color being plain, mainly white with yellow as a secondary color, or embellished with purple. Calla lilies, carnations, gladiolus, chrysanthemums, cosmos, roses, forget-me-nots, etc. mentioned above can all be options.
