What should we pay attention to when visiting graves during Qingming Festival?
Introduction: It rains heavily during the Qingming Festival, and the pedestrians on the road are heartbroken. I believe that everyone will always think of this poem during the Qingming Festival to mourn their ancestors or deceased relatives. So what should we pay attention to when visiting graves during the Qingming Festival? Let’s follow the editor to learn more about it below! March is the last month of spring, which will bring all things back to life and start a beautiful growth process. The third month of the lunar calendar is a time full of vitality because it is the most beautiful. During the Qingming Festival, family members and relatives usually go together to visit the graves, and they must be harmonious. This has two advantages. First, due to the distance between their residences and work reasons, relatives 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.
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, we must not miss this great opportunity.

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 going to cemeteries to pay homage. This is mainly because cemeteries are often on the mountains, and people in 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 cemetery. Therefore, for these reasons, it is generally not recommended for the above groups of people to go to worship.

General procedures for tomb sweeping during Qingming Festival

When you arrive at the cemetery, the first thing you need to do is clean and tidy up the graves. 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.
Summary: The above are some precautions about tomb sweeping on Qingming Festival. When sweeping the tombs, everyone also needs to pay attention to the setting off of fireworks to avoid causing unnecessary trouble!
