Feng Shui matters that need attention during Qingming Festival

Introduction: Qingming Festival is a festival for outings and ancestor worship. Many people will go to sweep tombs and worship their ancestors. Therefore, this is also the best time to bring good luck and fortune, but you need to pay attention to some Feng Shui matters. If you want to know more about Feng Shui, Mr. Shui Mo has prepared a special topic on Feng Shui for you to give you a more comprehensive understanding.

The annual Qingming Festival falls on April 4th in the Gregorian calendar, which is Yiwei Day in the lunar calendar. People with the zodiac signs of Ox and Dog have low fortune on this day, so they should not stay outside at night. Instead, they are advised to stay at home and spend more time with their families. Tomb sweeping is a must during the Qingming Festival, but it is best to do it between 10 am and 3 pm. Because this period of time is the time when the sunlight is at its peak, it is conducive to worship. Don't go in the evening, as the Yin energy gets heavier in the evening. People with weaker constitutions will be more sensitive to this. Don't go too early, as the Yin energy has not yet dissipated. It is recommended to go one day later.

If the person who goes to sweep the tomb is weak, sick, or has a black forehead, it means that his luck is low and his physical condition is also slightly poor. It is best not to go to sweep the tomb; if you must go, it is better to wear jade with you. This can avoid bad magnetic field information. If you don’t have a jade pendant, you can wear an item to ward off evil spirits or a religious item such as a Buddha amulet.

Furthermore, don't go to too remote places. Since it is a ceremony to worship ancestors, it is inevitable that you will go to places that few people go to. It is best to walk along the usual routes. Don't go for an outing in remote places. Firstly, it is a safety issue, and secondly, it is easy to attract evil spirits. People with weak constitutions should try to walk around in crowded places or bask in the sun after visiting the graves, and should not bring any mud into the house.

A damp tomb is not good for descendants and is a very serious feng shui problem. When sweeping the tomb, you should pay more attention to observe and also make sure the tombstone is intact and no weeds should grow in the cemetery. When facing the graves of our ancestors, we must clean them thoroughly and add some loose soil to make the entire cemetery look brand new and fuller in appearance. We should silently pray in our hearts, hoping that the ancestors in the netherworld will bless the future generations with wealth and prosperity.

In China, ancestor worship is not just about commemorating ancestors, but also carries the obvious meaning of worshiping and praying to the dead souls. It is particularly important to note that you are not allowed to take photos at your ancestors' graves, whether it is a photo of the tomb-sweepers themselves or a photo of the tomb-sweepers and the graveyard. It is even more taboo to take photos of other graves. Otherwise, your fortune is likely to decline and all aspects will be out of balance.

The last point is that pregnant women and young children should be more careful around the Qingming Festival. They don't need to go to cemeteries and should stay away from dark places. Unless there are special circumstances, if you must go, you must bring amulets, formal religious products or ritual instruments. Remember this.
