Winter Solstice Grave Visiting Time

The time of the winter solstice in 2017 is 00:27:53 on December 22, which is the fifth day of the eleventh month in the lunar calendar of 2017. If you want to visit the grave and offer sacrifices in advance, you must choose an auspicious day in advance. As long as the day is suitable for sacrifices according to the lunar calendar, it is usually an auspicious day. Whether from the perspective of traditional customs or Feng Shui, we must pay attention to the specific time period for visiting tombs on the Winter Solstice. It is best to visit the tombs between 7 a.m. and 3 p.m., as this is the time when the yang energy rises during the day. Especially those who are unlucky or weak in health must complete the sacrifice during this time period. Because after 3 o'clock in the afternoon the yang energy subsides and the yin energy increases, which can easily affect personal fortune.
