What are the taboos during tomb sweeping during Qingming Festival? Can pregnant women visit graves?
Introduction: Qingming Festival is one of my country's traditional festivals, a national statutory holiday, and one of the most important festivals for worshipping ancestors. The most representative custom of Qingming Festival is tomb sweeping. So, what are the taboos during tomb sweeping during Qingming Festival? Can pregnant women visit graves? Let’s take a look 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.Can pregnant women visit graves during Qingming Festival?Generally speaking, pregnant women should avoid Qingming festival mountain-visiting activities, and that’s not all. Strictly speaking, women who are menstruating should not participate in such activities, especially the Qingming Festival grave-worshipping activities after 3 pm. Buertang reminds friends: Our country is vast, and the customs of tomb sweeping in the north and south are slightly different. For example, in the south, both sons and daughters usually go to sweep the tombs, while in some places in the north, daughters usually do not go to sweep the tombs. If the daughter is married, she will go to sweep the tombs with her husband.What are the taboos during tomb sweeping on Qingming Festival?Why can't we cover our forehead with our hair? According to the ancients, Qingming Festival is also the "Ghost Festival". If you need to walk at night during this period, be sure to carry a protective charm with you, such as peach wood bracelets. At the same time, you must show your forehead. It cannot be covered by your hair, because that is where your luck and destiny are.Can you wear red underwear during the Qingming Festival? Generally speaking, you should avoid wearing bright red or purple clothes during the Qingming Festival. Even red underwear should be worn with caution; it is appropriate to wear plain clothes. Of course, don't wear red accessories. However, Bu Er Tang specifically reminds you that if your own fortune is very low, or if you have pregnant women or children, you can carry red items to ward off evil with you. If I am in poor health or in low spirits, can I still visit the graves? On the day of tomb sweeping, if you are in poor health or low spirits, it is recommended that you do not go to the cemetery. Because the body and mind are weak at this time, it is easy to be possessed by the creatures of the underworld and cause trouble after returning home; in addition, pregnant women and children under 6 years old should also be cautious when visiting the graves. Why are you not allowed to laugh, yell, or swear when visiting the graves? Because the cemetery is the home of the Yin spirits, so you are not allowed to step over the graves and offerings, make loud noises, laugh, yell, use foul language, run around, or urinate anywhere. Doing so is not only disrespectful to your ancestors, but also constitutes a nuisance to the spirits nearby. Summary: After reading the introduction in the above article, I believe everyone has a general understanding of some taboos that need to be paid attention to during tomb sweeping on Qingming Festival. I hope everyone can follow these traditional customs and learn more about traditional culture! |
