Is it a good idea to move graves during the winter solstice of 2017? According to Feng Shui theory, relocating a grave is a big event, and the timing of the relocation is especially important. Next, let’s take a look together.

Is it a good idea to move graves during the winter solstice in 2017?

General Overview

It is not suitable to break ground on that day. 1. The time of the winter solstice in 2017 is 00:27:53 on December 22, the fifth day of the eleventh month in the lunar calendar of 2017. According to the almanac of the winter solstice in 2017, one of the taboos on that day is not to break ground, which means that that day is not an auspicious day for relocating graves.
2. According to folk belief, the soil in a grave cannot be moved normally. However, according to folk customs, the Winter Solstice and Qingming Festival are days for ancestor worship, and graves can be moved on the Winter Solstice. Therefore, many people will perform grave-moving ceremonies around the winter solstice. Of course, we still need to refer to the lunar calendar of that day for the specific details.

Precautions

1. Relocating a grave is a very solemn thing in itself. On the auspicious day of relocating a grave, we must light incense in advance to inform the dead souls underground to move.
2. The person who moves the grave needs to drink a few sips of liquor on the grave site to drive away the negative and evil spirits in the grave, and then dig up the grave. If the coffin is not rotten, take it out; if the coffin is rotten, pick up the bones and put them in a clay jar.
3. After the grave is moved and the soil is dug, firecrackers must be set off, which means "moving". After the deceased's body is transported to the new cemetery, a hole is dug for burial, a tombstone is erected, and firecrackers are set off, which means "settling down".
